I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 299

Chapter 299 Qin Qian is so poor that he eats dirt

Qin Chi wanted to grant Song Jin a royal title, which he had the idea to do on the day he became a bachelor’s degree holder. However, after finding someone to find out more about it, he had to postpone the matter.

Not all applications for sealing can be passed. The fifth rank of official residence is only the threshold for application. When applying for the seal, you need to submit Song Jin’s identity document, marriage certificate and other proofs, and then the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Household Affairs or the Ministry of Personnel will review it.

Qin Chi didn’t dare to gamble on whether Song Jin’s identity could withstand in-depth investigation. Another reason is that he has not yet made any achievements. As the saying goes, a husband is honored and his wife is valued, and it is easier for officials with meritorious service to apply for a title.

The following days.

Qin Chi went to and from the Yamen all day long.

Ever since Liu Jianfang came to the house, women often came to talk to Song Jin, chatting about family affairs and neighborhood gossip, which made it inconvenient for Song Jin to do anything in private.

Fortunately, Song Jin asked his men to lurk.

There weren’t many things during this period. Most of them were letters from various places and letters from home in Huizhou.

It’s autumn now.

The family started to buy winter clothes.

Last time Qin Chi asked Song Jin to buy a maid, but due to the large number of people visiting Qin’s house, Song Jin did not add more servants for fear of outsiders saying that his family had too many servants, just to be on the safe side.

Therefore, Song Jin had to do many things at home personally. For example, people who come to visit often see Song Jin, who is simply dressed, doing the work himself.

Everyone praised Song Jin for his diligence and frugality in managing his family.

He turned around and laughed at the Qin family for being shabby and unable to maintain a decent appearance. Even if Qin Qi’an passed the imperial examination and served as an official in the court for several months, he was still poor.

As the words get passed around, the flavor changes.

It is said that Qin Zhuangyuan’s family was so poor that they could only eat glutinous rice bran for three meals.

Later, it got even more extreme, and even those who wanted to eat dirt came out.

One day, word reached Qin Chi’s ears.

They were doctors from the other three divisions of the Ministry of Industry. They formed a team and came to Qin Chi. They were talking loudly. They originally wanted to see Qin Chi’s jokes.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chi was very calm, “I am from a peasant family. It is my dream to live the life I have now. I cannot compare with the wealth of several adults.”

Suddenly the surroundings were quiet.

Without making any money and relying solely on his salary to support his family, Qin Chi is doing well now.

It’s just that there is a tendency to compare among colleagues. Usually for the sake of face, I am used to putting good things on display. If someone’s family looks shabby on the surface, they subconsciously feel that they are poorer secretly, so they can’t help but laugh at them.

Qin Chi’s calm appearance made them look like clowns, mainly because they had something evil in mind.

The three doctors left in despair.

This matter not only spread to the ears of officials, but also Emperor Mingcheng in the palace heard about it, “Are you really going to eat chaffy vegetables?”

“Not only that, there are rumors that he will eat dirt.”

A young **** answered beside him.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty was very happy when he heard this, “My new top scholar is starving to death, how can he do things for me? Xiao Jixiang, go to the private treasury to get one hundred taels of gold and send it to Qin Qi’an.”

“I’ll take care of it now,” Ji Xiang responded hurriedly.

So that day.

The Qin family suddenly received a reward from the palace.

Song Jin was surprised when he suddenly heard that the reward was coming from the palace. He thought it was Qin Chi who had made the contribution today. After learning about it, he realized that it was a windfall caused by rumors from outside.

The **** was politely sent away.

Song Jin looked at the ten gold ingots on the table and had mixed feelings for a moment.

“Ah Qi, have I been pretending too much recently, making those who come to visit me think that my family is too poor to afford food?” Song Jin knew the rumors outside.

Because I don’t think it’s a bad thing. He ignored it and allowed the rumors to spread.

“Madam, do you want to inform the young master about this?” Qin Qi felt that this matter was strange and urgent.

Song Jin waved his hand, “Go talk to him.”

Qin Qi nodded, bowed and left.

However, as soon as Qin Qi walked out of the gate, she saw someone else coming into the palace. She turned around and went back to report to Song Jin.

When Song Jin went out, he knew that the queen had sent someone to deliver a reward. Of course, this reward was clearly for Song Jin. It was a set of exquisitely crafted headdress, plus two hundred taels of silver.

Then came the imperial concubines and the various concubines.

People from the harem came here more than a dozen times.

Qin Chi hurried home after getting the news and saw a pile of rewards placed in the hall, including gold, silver, porcelain, cloth and exquisite jewelry, which were quite impressive together.

Song Jin was sitting at the front seat leisurely, holding tea in his hand and sipping it in small sips, while Qin Qi on the side was taking notes.

“Madam, does our family have a sudden fortune?” Qin Chi walked calmly to the chair next to Song Jin and sat down.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Song Jin poured him a cup of tea and said, “I was wondering whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.”

“How do you want to solve it, madam?”

Qin Chi put down the tea bowl in his hand, “If this matter is not handled well, there may be hidden dangers in the future.”

Now we talk about poverty to the outside world.

Others also believe it, but don’t they themselves know whether they are really poor or fake poor?

There are some advantages that cannot be taken advantage of.

Otherwise, how will you deal with your identity being exposed in the future? Will the person who gave the reward today feel that he was fooled?

Maybe it will lead to the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Don’t think that these worries are unfounded. Things have happened before in the world. When the political opponents criticize Qin Chi, they will not say that the external rumors have nothing to do with him. They will only ask why he didn’t stand up to refute the rumors at that time.

Unintentional has become intentional.

Song Jin pondered for a moment and said: “Taihu Lake suffered floods this year and a large number of people were displaced. These things were donated in the name of Your Majesty and the masters in the palace. But in order to show the emperor’s great kindness, I will keep one piece of each reward.” , convert it into silver and add it.”

“This is a very good move.”

Qin Chi immediately asked Song Jin to do it.

Then he thought that he had received a reward and needed to go to the palace to express his gratitude. Song Jin must go this time, but whether the various masters will see him or not is another matter.

Song Jin thought for a while and said, “I will go to the palace the day after tomorrow to express my gratitude. I will go and donate things tomorrow and buy an outfit. When I see the queen, I will make it clear that life at home is okay, and everyone is spreading lies outside.”

“My lady is very considerate.”

Qin Chi felt very at ease.

A good wife at home is like a good minister in a country.

Once again, he was glad that he had married Song Jin instead of that crazy Song Xiu.

Now that they have decided, the couple will do so.

The next day Qin Chi went to Dianmao, Hanlin Academy, and had a private murmur with Yan Xianqing.

“You want to see His Majesty?” Yan Xianqing was surprised.

Qin Chi said with a look of helplessness: “First, I have to thank you for receiving the reward. Second, I want to clarify with Your Majesty that although I am not well-dressed and well-fed, I am still well-off. The rumors outside are untrue.”

“Haha, I made a mistake.”

Yan Xianqing regarded this matter as amusement, “Don’t worry, your majesty knows about it, and he is probably just having fun like me.”

Qin Chi put on a handsome face and was unconvinced.

This caused Yan Xianqing to burst into laughter.
