I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 308
Chapter 308 Three letters from home
Song Jin’s words are not polite, but true.
Husband and wife share weal and woe.
Helping Qin Chi solve the disaster will be beneficial to Song Jin.
After Qin Chi left Beijing, the capital did not change much, and there were still many topics about him. In addition, I heard that Emperor Mingcheng went to Nuange Maodong, and government affairs were handled by cabinet ministers.
Song Jin returned to Huizhou in addition to seeing off the New Year.
At the end of the year it’s time to take stock again.
The remaining cotton after earlier selling it to the Ministry of Industry was put into the capital market at a price of three cents per catty, and was quickly sold out. As for Jifang Pharmacy, it has been temporarily closed since the confrontation with the Liu family. Only some of the medicinal materials inside were kept as spares, and the rest were sold to Shun’an Trading Company.
As far as Song Jin knows.
Shun’an Trading Company either sent them to the northwest or to the disaster area.
Compared with the high righteousness of Shun’an Trading Company, Song Jin knew that he was a proper businessman.
There is no benefit in getting up early.
But the income in a year is very considerable.
Based on the current income, we can quickly build a merchant ship.
“Madam, we have a visitor.”
Mrs. Pan came to report.
Song Jin closed the account book and asked outside the door: “Which house does it belong to?”
“It’s from Lingdinghou Mansion.” Mrs. Pan replied.
Song Jin was surprised, “Why are there people coming to this Marquis Mansion? My husband is not at home.”
Confused, Song Jin went out to meet the guests.
People came to the hall.
A young man was sitting. He was tall and majestic. You could tell at a glance that he was a military commander.
Behind him stood two soldiers.
There is hot tea on the tea table next to it, half of which has been drunk. There are two camphor wood boxes and a large package on the floor in the hall.
As soon as the general saw Song Jin coming out, he immediately stood up and saluted politely, “Pei Xi has met Madam. This time it is Young Master Ling. Seeing that I am going back to Beijing to report on my duties, I specially asked me to bring some northwest local rituals to Qin Zhuangyuan.”
“Thank you for your hard work, sir.”
Song Jin exchanged polite words with the other party.
Pei Xi left without staying longer.
When he came back, he also heard that Qin Chi had gone to Taihu Lake to provide disaster relief and would not be able to come back for a while. He only had his wife at home, and as a foreign man, he would not stay for long.
Qin Qi came over and opened the box.
It’s full of stuff.
The things are a bit complicated, but not too little.
One box is filled with cordyceps, raisins, dried fruits, etc., and the other box is filled with highland barley wine, and there are hundreds of kilograms of beef jerky. It is said to be a soil instrument, but it is indeed a soil instrument.
Grab a small handful of raisins.
Song Jin stuffed one into his mouth, “It’s very sweet and delicious. If the other party hadn’t sent Tuyi here today, I would have almost forgotten that my husband has such a classmate and friend.”
“He went to the Northwest Army Camp.”
Qin Qi knew that the journey to the northwest was far away and it was not easy to contact him. “I have some conscience. I still remembered to send some earthen gifts to the young master. I didn’t see his congratulatory gift when he won the first prize.”
Song Jin was amused, “Call Aunt Feng and the others to come over and pack these things. Send a jar of wine to Uncle Hong. The rest will be opened when your young master returns home.”
“I thought Madam would ask someone to take her to Taihu Lake.”
“It’s not worth it for stuttering.”
Song Jin didn’t want to trouble his men. It was bone-chilling cold in this winter, just to give Qin Chi some food. Would he be short of that food? Don’t say it’s a disaster area.
There is also Shun’an Trading Company there.
Song Jin was a little regretful that she couldn’t go back to Huizhou this year, couldn’t see her son and daughter, and Qin Chi wasn’t here either. She needed to stay in the capital alone to celebrate the New Year.
As luck would have it, she suddenly became pregnant.
If she was not pregnant, even if Qin Chi refused, she would probably go back to Huizhou.
Qin Qi called Chef Feng and Mrs. Pan to move things. Song Jin sat on a chair in the hall and watched them working back and forth. Even if she wanted to help with these rough things, the three of them wouldn’t let her do it. Just at this moment, Old Man Hong came over with a stack of invitations in his hand.
Qin Qi took it at the door, turned around and walked towards Song Jin, “Madam, the young master is not in the capital, and there are not many posts sent to him.”
“You have to give it as a gift.”
Song Jin knew there were twists and turns. For example, whether I go or not is my problem. If you don’t send an invitation, it’s your problem. “If there is something festive, just send a congratulatory gift.”
Qin Qi asked again: “Where is the palace banquet? Madam, do you want to attend?”
The palace banquet at the end of the year is held every year by the Ministry of Rites.
Song Jin thought for a while and then said: “When the people from the Ministry of Etiquette came to confirm the attendance list, they said that I am pregnant and it is not very comfortable and it is not suitable to attend the palace banquet.”
Pregnancy is a good excuse.
The mention of the palace reminded Song Jin of an earlier time when she received a reward from the queen. She was supposed to enter the palace to express her gratitude. Later, when she went to the palace gate and inquired, she learned that only women of third rank or above were eligible to enter the palace to see the queen.
Song Jin was not the royal wife, she did not have a royal decree, and she was not even qualified to submit a request for an audience.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Unless the queen suddenly wants to see her.
Otherwise, you can’t even get close to the palace gate.
It is said that the queen is old and in poor health, and rarely sees people outside the palace.
The so-called gratitude can only be ignored.
Anyway, when she was in front of the palace gate that day, she knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude, which was considered a perfect etiquette.
The closer we get to the New Year.
As the number of favors increased, Song Jin often received New Year gifts from others at home.
Song Jin would return a gift when he learned about it.
On New Year’s Eve, my home was decorated very festively, with new couplets and window grilles, and festive lanterns hanging. However, in the dead of night, I was lying on the bed alone, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside.
A kind of sadness called longing came over my heart.
“lady.”
Qin Qi was knocking on the door outside the house.
Judging from her brisk tone, it shouldn’t be a bad thing.
Song Jin stood up and opened the door, “It’s so late, what can I do?”
“The young master sent someone to deliver something back.”
Qin Qi handed Song Jin a small baggage.
Song Jin took it and closed the door.
He walked to the table, put the bundle on the table, untied it slowly, and saw three letters above.
Song Jin picked it up and found the letter on it was “Her Majesty’s Letter”, which was obviously Qin Chi’s handwriting.
The remaining two letters are both “Mother’s Letter”.
The handwriting on one letter was straight and the handwriting on the other letter was crooked.
Song Jin didn’t need to open the letter to read the contents, and tears instantly filled her eyes.
Then she opened Qin Chi’s letter.
The first part is about saying hello, and then writing about the situation of Taihu Lake, saying that the disaster situation has been stabilized, and that when I leave for Beijing next spring, I don’t write about lovesickness, but I hide my longing in every sentence.
When it comes to playing with words, you are definitely a scholar.
Song Jin then opened the letter with regular handwriting. It was a letter written by his son. There was a pretended concern in the words, which warmed people’s hearts.
The signature is Er Linzhang.
When I opened my daughter’s letter again, I felt like I had just learned to write, like a dog crawling. A piece of paper seemed to be full of words, but in fact there were only a few sentences that I could only guess at.
The last sentence actually asked my mother when she would return home?
Niuniu misses you.
Song Jin burst into tears for a moment.
As for who she owed in this life, it was her own children. However, the current situation is not clear, and it is safer for the children to stay in Huizhou.
