I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

The morning sun smiles in the spring breeze, and the willow branches dance in green.

A clear stream flows around the village.

The village girls washing clothes by the stream, the old man carrying water, and the children playing and frolicking at the village entrance all reveal the atmosphere of peaceful country life.

"Clang clang clang!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of gongs and drums comes from far away.

The peace of the village was suddenly broken.

It was a team from the yamen who came to announce the good news, and the officials’ faces were filled with joy.

The villagers rushed out of their homes.

Following the footsteps of the official, we arrived at the Qin family.

In the courtyard, Old Man Qin, Old Mrs. Liu and others stood up excitedly when they heard the sound of gongs and drums.

"Here they come! The official with the good news is here!"

The child ran to see it excitedly and ran back again.

"It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here!" Chief Qin smiled happily. He felt relieved when the official who brought the good news came and his joy was beyond words.

It is definitely a good thing for the family to have a successful candidate in the imperial examination.

Before the officers entered the yard, Song Jin, without Qin Chi's instructions, took the two children back to the house to avoid seeing people outside the village.

As soon as the officials arrived at the Qin family's door, they stopped the gongs and drums.

The yard was filled with people waiting for the good news.

The leading official was holding a good news report and said loudly: "Your son Qin Mingsong won the fifth place in the provincial examination. I am here to announce the good news! Mr. Qin and Mr. Qin are both talented and virtuous. They are truly the glory of our hometown!"

Instantly, cheers broke out.

Old man Qin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, thanking the emperor for his grace.

After Qin Mingsong passed the imperial examination, he was still in the provincial government preparing to attend the official Luming Banquet, so he had not returned home yet. The official who came to announce the good news obviously knew the situation, and after receiving the reward silver, he left without staying for long.

Sent away the team of officials.

After this incident, everyone in the surrounding area knew that a scholar had emerged from the remote village of Qinjiagou. It was truly rare.

Besides, Old Man Qin and Old Lady Liu were surrounded by a group of villagers, enjoying all kinds of congratulations and compliments.

Qin Chi looked at his wife, who was as calm as a chrysanthemum.

Song Jin didn't seem to be happy at all about Qin Mingsong's success in the imperial examination.

"Madam, aren't you happy to hear that your uncle has passed the imperial examination?" Qin Chi stood beside Song Jin, looking at the scene outside the yard through the door, and asked softly.

Song Jin curled her lips lightly, "It's not like my husband passed the imperial examination, so why should I be happy?"

Qin Chi was stunned at first, then chuckled, "My lady is right."

A wife’s glory is given by her husband.

The uncle from the next room passed the imperial examination, which really had nothing to do with her.

"I didn't expect my uncle to do so well. He actually got fifth place." This is different from his previous life. Song Jin remembered that Qin Mingsong was not in the top ten in his previous life.

Qin Chi thought about the information he had received. "Ever since Song Xiu went to the capital and caused a commotion, my uncle has been studying very hard. Somehow, he caught the eye of Master Bai, who brought him to his side and taught him carefully. With my uncle's talent, he has obviously benefited a lot from it."

After a pause, Qin Chi added, "The imperial examination requires not only academic knowledge, but also the examiner's preferences for essays. My uncle may not be able to find out this, but Bai Da Ru can. With a targeted essay that the examiner likes, it is normal to rank higher."

"Send Song Xiu there, and let him get away with it?"

Song Jin frowned slightly.

Qin Chi couldn't help laughing, "What do you mean by good?"

"The matter between Qin Mingsong and his daughter hasn't been sorted out yet, but it's strange that Bai Daru would bring someone to his side to teach. Isn't reputation the most important thing for scholars?"

Song Jin was very puzzled by this.

Qin Chi explained: "The dean of the first academy also needs to make achievements. In addition, my uncle's private affair was well concealed, so his response was not wrong on the surface."

Putting aside personal prejudice, Bai Daru also admires Qin Mingsong's character.

Qin Mingsong has always had a good reputation outside.

There was an endless stream of Qin clan members coming to congratulate. Everyone was beaming with joy, sharing the glory and joy that belonged to the entire family.

Chief Qin announced on the spot that when Qin Mingsong returned, he would open the ancestral hall to comfort the ancestors.

Usually a big banquet is held and the whole family celebrates together.

If a juren appears in the family or in the clan, not only the fate of the whole family can be changed, but the fate of the entire family has been changed because of this good news.

Juren can also become an official, but his rank will not be high and the possibility of promotion is not great. The highest he can achieve is a county magistrate. But for ordinary people, being able to become the head of a county is already the best future.

So in the eyes of the people in the village.

Qin Mingsong has made great progress.

Naturally, the attention this received was extraordinary.

Song Xiu was very proud today.

After receiving wave after wave of flattery, Song Xiu saw that Qin Chi was called by Old Man Qin to receive guests and was no longer with Song Jin. As expected, she came to Song Jin and showed off.

"Sister, did you see that? This honor is mine!" Song Xiu smiled secretly, feeling happy in her heart.

Seeing that Song Jin was indifferent and was playing with her daughter's hand, Song Xiu was unhappy, "I will be the wife of a juren in the future, and I am not on the same level as you. After all, you are just the wife of a scholar, hey."

He gave a long, fake sigh.

The smugness on his face was not concealed at all in front of Song Jin.

Song Jin put his daughter on the crib, then looked up at the carefully dressed Song Xiu, and said with sympathy: "Qin Mingsong got fifth place, have you ever thought about why?"

Song Xiu covered her lips with a handkerchief and giggled, "Of course it's because of me. I am a lucky charm for my husband. Only by marrying my husband can I get a good ranking."

Upon hearing this, Song Jin didn't know what to say.

When it comes to shamelessness, it has to be Song Xiu.

How can a person be so shameless? It's really strange.

However, thinking of the next words of instigation, Song Jin naturally did not refute Song Xiu, "It's really because of you. If you hadn't caused such a scene in the capital city, Qin Mingsong would not have been able to have an affair with Bai Cuiwei like in his previous life, and he would not have used all his energy on studying. Because of this, Bai Da Ru paid some attention to him, and thus won his favor and brought him to his side to teach."

Song Xiu looked confused after hearing this.

Song Jin laughed softly again and said, "Bai Daru is Bai Cuiwei's father. She is Bai Cuiwei's old daughter. Even though she is a concubine's daughter, she is still loved by Bai Daru."

As Song Xiu listened, she felt something was wrong.

Song Jin also stopped at the point.

The rest depends entirely on Song Xiu's own imagination.

Song Jin knew that Song Xiu was a suspicious person. When he found out that Qin Mingsong was close to Bai Cuiwei's father, how could he not suspect that they were still having an affair?

Song Xiu was in high spirits when she came, but looked depressed when she left.

When I was at the door, I ran into Xiao Liu.

Little Liu brought a plate of cakes over to find Song Jin. Seeing Song Xiu like that, she looked back several times in surprise.
