I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 355

Chapter 355 Duke Ning’s Mansion

Qin Chi is now at Dali Temple.

Work has nothing to do with matters such as food, grass, and military pay.

Qin Chi hesitated for a moment and said, “Xia Shangshu should be easy to talk to.”

“The Household Department is not run by the Xia family.” Ling Dinghou suddenly said this, then thought about it and said, “Xia Wei is just an old fox. Where did Qi’an hear that he is a good talker?”

“Earlier, I worked as an errand in the Ministry of Industry and was responsible for rushing to produce a batch of cotton clothes. The money was approved by Xia Shangshu.”

As soon as Qin Chi finished speaking, Ling Dinghou looked at him with strange eyes.

Then, Ling Dinghou put a big hand on Qin Chi’s shoulder, “Qi’an, would you like to help Uncle Ling and urge the civil servants to prepare military supplies as soon as possible? The northwest is waiting for these things to save lives.”

“What you said is serious, don’t scare Mr. Qin.”

Ning Guogong took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Qin Chi hasn’t spoken yet.

Ling Dinghou immediately retorted: “We are about to start a war with the Tatars. Without enough food, grass and weapons to support it, it is not a matter of life. The Duke is enjoying the blessings in the capital, and he has forgotten the brothers guarding the border. How difficult it must be.”

“I haven’t forgotten, I haven’t forgotten!”

Ning Guogong said that he did not mean that, “Wars have always been a waste of money. If there is no money in the national treasury, it will be useless to press for it.”

Ling Dinghou didn’t believe it.

Ning Guogong looked around, then approached Ling Dinghou and whispered: “Your Majesty has squandered most of the national treasury in recent years, and the rest can barely support the normal operation of the court. But this time the military resources can be prepared. The house was confiscated not long ago. I have received a large sum of money, so I will hurry up and collect it. I heard that your Majesty wants to build a Taoist temple and a royal palace. “

Ling Dinghou’s eyes widened when he heard this.

Qin Chi also heard it with the tips of his ears, and he lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

Qin Chi knew more than Ling Dinghou, who was in the northwest, but who dared to say whether he was the emperor or not. Anyone who dared to speak out would be dismissed from their posts or the grass on their graves would grow too tall.

Ning Guogong’s words were a reminder to Ling Dinghou, asking him to hurry up and urge the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to secure the general resources as soon as possible. If he continues to delay, the money will be misappropriated again, and he will not be able to squeeze out the money even if he kills those civil servants. thing.

Ling Dinghou moved his eyes towards Qin Chi.

It was as if he was asking Qin Chi for confirmation.

Qin Chi nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed true.

At that moment, Ling Dinghou couldn’t sit still, “I have to leave beforehand. Although the annual leave has not ended yet, the military situation on the border is urgent, so I still have to go to the palace to discuss it with His Majesty.”

“Let’s go, let’s go. Qin Boy and I still need two drinks.” Ning Guogong waved his hand to Ling Dinghou to leave.

Ling Dinghou stood up and bowed to Ning Guogong as a farewell gift.

Qin Chi also stood up and bowed to Ling Dinghou, and then watched Ling Dinghou hurriedly leave the courtyard.

Ning Guogong smiled and said: “What are you looking at? Come on, sit down quickly.”

Then he called for the servants to remove the tea and replace it with a pot of wine and a few side dishes to accompany the wine.

“The banquet doesn’t start so early. Let’s have a drink first to warm ourselves up.” Ning Guogong raised the jug and started pouring wine for Qin Chi.

Qin Chi stood up weakly and stretched out his hand to block the situation, “You’re welcome, Mr. Guo. It’s time for this junior to pour you some wine.”

“Treat this place as your own, and be less polite, and I will be happier.” Today, a junior is getting married in the Duke Guo’s Mansion, and there is no need for Duke Ning to entertain the guests.

I had a few drinks with Mr. Ning Guo.

Qin Chi only touched his lips most of the time, so Ning Guogong drank most of the pot, and Qin Chi still had more than half of the wine in his cup.

Ning Guogong heard that he was in poor health and did not force him to drink. “Boy Qin, I have several beautiful granddaughters at home. Do you want to choose one?” “The Duke is drunk, and the boy is already drunk.” I’m married.” Qin Chi declined.

Ning Guogong waved his hand, “I’m not asking you to marry a wife, but just take her back and become a noble concubine. Red sleeves add fragrance, and you have a lovely wife and beautiful concubine. Wouldn’t it be nice?”

“I feel guilty that I have wronged the young lady of your house too much, so I’d better forget it.”

Others dared to give it away, but Qin Chi did not dare to ask for it.

Speaking of which, he didn’t have much contact with Ning Guogong. He only had a few cases where Ning Guogong facilitated him. Moreover, Ling Dinghou worked under his maternal grandfather. Judging from his visit to the Duke’s mansion, Ning Guogong should be one of his own. It’s just that it’s unclear how much Ning Guogong knows about his affairs.

But Qin Chi refused the concubine issue.

When Ning Guogong saw this, he did not force himself.

After the banquet was set up, Qin Chi followed the servants out and arrived at his seat, surrounded by his colleagues on the left and right.

During the banquet, people drank wine and drank wine.

Qin Chi coped with this easily.

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

Men and women were seated separately here, which actually reduced some troubles. However, people would often come over to talk and say they wanted to give him women, which annoyed him a little. However, these things are very common in other people’s minds. Some people even couldn’t understand why Qin Chi refused.

One of the colleagues came over with a wine glass.

Qin Chi looked up and saw that it was Ke Bingzhi from the Hanlin Academy.

Something happened to the Yang family, but this person was not implicated.

Ke Bingzhi looked a little drunk, and he put his hand on Qin Chi’s shoulder, “I say Master Qin, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Everyone wanted to marry you with good intentions, but you rejected them all when you came, right? Don’t you look down on us?”

“That’s right, are you looking down on us?”

“Master Qin is not afraid of henpecks, is he?”

“I heard that Mr. Qin’s wife has a very ordinary appearance. It’s really suspicious that Mr. Qin still lets her live alone.”

Qin Chi was almost called an alien.

Everyone teased Qin Chi one by one.

Qin Chi remained as still as a mountain. When everyone had finished speaking, he said calmly: “You may not know something, but I have been in poor health since I was a child. I have suffered from serious and minor illnesses. But the doctor said that I want to live as long as possible. The point is, it must be about cultivating your character. There is no need to say what you will choose between life and women.”

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone else is sarcastic.

Ke Bingzhi said dryly: “Is there still such a thing? It turns out that Mr. Qin is delicate and frail. I misunderstood him.”

Qin Chi was not angry even when someone said he was delicate and frail. His gentle smile remained unchanged. He raised his glass and said, “What’s the point? To tell you the truth, I’m quite envious of Mr. Ke. He has many lovely wives and concubines in his family. I often hear that You trade with others.”

“Haha, what’s wrong? Misinformation.”

Ke Bingzhi wiped away the cold sweat.

How can this matter of changing concubines be brought to the surface?

After Qin Chi’s words, no one mentioned any other women. Even the idea of ​​sending a woman to Qin Chi’s back house as an informant with the help of nobles in the palace had to be given up.

Someone on the side gave Qin Chi a thumbs up.

With such a revelation, anyone who sends a woman to the Qin family in the future must think carefully, otherwise, if he insists on sending a woman to the Qin family, he will kill him. This is not about making friends, but about making enemies.
