I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

When Qin Chi went to take a medicinal bath.

Song Jin went to see Doctor Jing privately.

Asked about Qin Chi's health.

He also mentioned the rumor in Qinjiagou that Qin Chi would not live long.

Doctor Jing saw Song Jin's worry and comforted her, "Madam, the young master's weakness has been almost cured. As long as he doesn't act recklessly and takes medicine on time, he will have no problem living to his seventies or eighties."

"Are you telling the truth?"

Song Jin did not hide the surprise on his face.

Doctor Jing nodded, "But the Master forbad me to mention this to outsiders."

"Then wouldn't I be causing you trouble?" Song Jin was finally relieved to hear that Qin Chi was fine. After all, this was something she had been thinking about for a long time.

Doctor Jing said cheerfully, "Madam is not an outsider."

Song Jin listened and said with a smile: "This is a good reason. If my husband asks, I will use this reason to shut him up."

"Hahaha……"

Settled down.

Song Jin occasionally paid attention to the affairs of the Yang family and the Yuan family, but his main focus was on Qin Chi's health.

After Song Jin's careful care.

Qin Chi had been traveling by boat and car for nearly a month, but in this winter season, he did not get sick, which was unprecedented.

Until the eighth day of February, I was still very energetic.

Song Jin personally sent Qin Chi to the Imperial Examination Hall.

The carriage almost had an accident on the way.

A bullock cart rushed out of the alley.

The big ox pulling the cart was stimulated by some unknown reason and rushed towards Qin Chi and Song Jin's carriage like crazy. It was the secret guard disguised as a passerby who took action in time to control the mad ox.

Avoided an accident.

The carriage passed the accident site.

Song Jin lifted the curtain and looked back, and when she lowered the curtain again, the smile on her face disappeared.

In order to avoid affecting Qin Chi's mentality, she said nothing.

Qin Chi held Song Jin's hand and asked, "Madam, do you suspect someone is coming for me?"

"It's not a doubt, it's a confirmation."

Song Jin didn't believe this was a coincidence.

The imperial court has always attached great importance to the imperial examination.

Street patrols have become much stricter, and some places have even closed roads.

In order to take part in the joint examination, candidates needed to get the examination card on the eighth day of the second lunar month, and then go to Shuntian Imperial Examination Hall at the hour of Chou on the next day, led by the examiner.

Candidates can enter the examination room only after their identity has been verified.

After Qin Chi came to the capital, he never left his house.

I'm going to get my license today, and it's my first time going out. I didn't expect that even though I was so low-key, someone still targeted Qin Chi.

Song Jin looked at Qin Chi with complicated feelings.

How much has this guy been hated in the Imperial College in the past two years?

"Madam, can you please stop looking at me like that? It makes me feel a little scared." Qin Chi said half-jokingly.

Song Jin looked away awkwardly, "Just focus on your exam, we will investigate what's going on outside."

"Well, I feel relieved to have a wife."

Qin Chi spoke very naturally, but Song Jin's ears felt itchy after hearing it, until he gave the location.

Qin Chi got off the carriage.

There were soldiers blocking the road and even carriages couldn't pass.

Qin Chi went in alone carrying the exam basket. After walking for a while, he saw an acquaintance who was waving at him.

"Brother Qi'an!"

The person who greeted Qin Chi was Lu Yanji.

Next to Lu Yanji is Qin Mingsong.

Lu Yanji came to the capital last year, but Qin Chi wanted to stay in Yi County to spend the New Year with his family.

Qin Mingsong asked, "Da Lang, you're here so late? I went to look for you on the fourth day of the New Year, but the doorman said you hadn't arrived in the capital yet."

"The roads are difficult to travel on in the winter, so we were delayed for a few days."

Qin Chi explained briefly, and then he started to ask, "Have you received your license? I haven't received it yet."

"Then go quickly." Lu Yanji urged.

Both of them have received it.

Qin Chi said one more word and went to queue up.

With more than 10,000 examinees gathered together, many of them were unsure. You should know that the number of candidates admitted to each examination is not fixed, and the usual number is about 300.

After verifying the identity.

Then undergo a strict body search.

It is really very strict.

In such a cold day, the candidates had to work in groups of two into a makeshift shed, then take off their clothes and hand them to an officer for inspection.

Another officer will check the examinee's body, even the armpits and inner thighs.

There are many candidates and it takes a long time to enter.

After taking the previous few exams, Qin Chi was still relatively calm.

After entering, find your own room.

The luck is pretty good, not a bad number.

When he finishes cleaning the room and is ready.

The exam is about to begin.

First, a yamen runner came over holding a wooden sign.

Qin Chi looked up and quickly copied down the test questions on the wooden sign, then read them carefully after he finished copying.

The first test consisted of five policy essays and a test poem.

In fact, the subjects and content of the metropolitan examination are similar to those of the provincial examination. It still tests the Four Books and Five Classics, policy questions, and poetry, but it is more difficult and has stricter requirements.

The examination questions were personally reviewed by the emperor.

To ensure fairness and authority.

After each exam, the test papers will be sealed and numbered by the examiners and then marked by another group of examiners to ensure fairness.

It was Chou time and Qin Chi was concentrating on taking the exam.

Song Jin was still awake outside.

The owner of the ox cart at that time was an old man who had been detained by the secret guards. However, no matter how he was interrogated, the man insisted that it was an accident.

Even though Old Li tortured him, he still couldn't make him talk.

Song Jin put his hands in his sleeves.

She watched the whole process quietly without saying a word. In fact, everyone almost forgot her existence.

"Uncle Li, there is no need to interrogate him again."

Song Jin suddenly spoke.

This made the room quiet.

There was a brazier in the room, which provided bright light even in the middle of the night.

Old Li was surprised. "Madam, there must be someone behind him. I don't believe that I can't pry open his mouth."

"Okay, he would rather die than tell anyone. Either it was really an accident, or he was threatened and cannot tell anyone." Song Jin seemed to be speaking casually, but he was paying attention to the old man's reaction.

Old Li cooperated and said, "I know this trick. Capture their family members and threaten them to do bad things. Send people to look for them at his house. If no one is there, he is probably being controlled. If there is someone, capture him. How dare you harm my son? Ha..."

The old man finally showed anxiety on his face.

Song Jin could guess it from the old man's reaction.

The old man's identity and background had been discovered before, and secret guards had already left the city to look for his family.

But it was too late, the city gates were closed.

Those who went out have not yet been able to enter the city.

We will have to wait until tomorrow morning to know the specific situation.

Song Jin turned and walked out of the temporary interrogation room.

Old Li did not continue the interrogation and just left one person here to watch. Seeing that the old man was still so frightened, he became even more panicked.

Go back to the dormitory.

Song Jin had a light sleep.

When he woke up the next morning, Old Li had already found out.

The secret guard brought back the old man's family, and the old man finally revealed the person who ordered it.

Old Li said, "He said that the nanny next to Madam Yuan came to his house and asked him to do this job. If he didn't do it, he would be kicked out of the farm."

"Stupid."

It's unclear who Song Jin was scolding.

Old Li added, "This family is the tenant of Madam Yuan's dowry farm. Even if he doesn't recruit them, they are still related to Madam Yuan."

So, Mrs. Yuan is really stupid.

But it is also true that people pick on the weak.

In Mrs. Yuan's eyes, Qin Chi is undoubtedly a soft persimmon.
