I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

The rest of the items in the bundle were cakes and snacks eaten during the New Year in Huizhou.

Wrap it well with wax paper.

Song Jin opened a bag of sesame candies that she had eaten at home in previous years. She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. The familiar taste made her cry again.

Wait until the emotion is over.

Song Jin read the letter several times before carefully folding it and putting it away.

During the Chinese New Year, it was snowing heavily outside.

Qin Qi and his family often had to go out to sweep the snow, fearing that the house would collapse. The neighbors in Cuihua Hutong did not come to visit again, but Xiaoxi came instead.

Talked about the excitement of the palace banquet.

It was said that a certain young lady shone brightly at the palace banquet, and that a certain young man was very talented in writing and was praised by His Majesty. Later, the story changed to say that a certain lady made a fool of herself at the palace banquet and didn't know the rules and made a fool of herself. It was also said that a certain young lady was so bold that she secretly met a man at the palace banquet, and that the man was the son of a certain earl.

"Where did you hear so much gossip?" Song Jin looked at Xiaoxi in surprise.

Xiaoxi cracked melon seeds and said with a smile, "I know a lot of people. My young lady got married and got a maid and servants. The dowry nanny takes care of the yard, and my young lady is in the herbal medicine store all day long. Don't I have a lot of free time? I visit each family when I have time."

There are many servants in Liu's house.

Just serving two serious masters.

Xiaoxi is a senior maid and her work is not very busy.

Song Jin smiled and waited for her to continue.

Xiaoxi added: "I love coming to your place the most."

"Why? Because I have delicious food here?" Song Jin looked at Xiaoxi who had gained a little weight and joked.

Xiaoxi actually did not deny it. "There were many times when it was a reason. Another reason was that I felt very comfortable when I was with Madam Qin. I felt like a person, not a slave."

Song Jin didn't know what to say about this.

Xiaoxi added: "I was here with you, and you didn't say I didn't know the rules. If it were someone else, they would have scolded me a long time ago."

"So you knew it too." Song Jin chuckled.

Xiaoxi came to Song Jin to test her at first, but gradually they got along better and better, and later she treated Song Jin as her sister. "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I used to think that Miss treated me very well, but after getting to know you and making a comparison, I realized that it's just like that."

Song Jin picked up a piece of rice cake and stuffed it into Xiaoxi's mouth, "Some things are better if you understand them in your heart."

"Don't I treat you as my own family?"

Xiaoxi chewed the rice cake in a few bites and then swallowed it. "Come on, I should go back. I heard that someone from the Liu family will come next year. I don't know how lively it will be at home then."

"Come visit my house when you have time."

Song Jin took out half a bag of raisins and stuffed them into Xiaoxi's hand. "Someone sent this as a holiday gift. I'll give you some to take back."

"Then I won't be polite."

Xiaoxi put away the raisins and left happily.

After she left, Qin Qi came out from the dark and said, "Madam, it seems that the Liu family will make some moves next year."

"Send more people to keep a close eye on it."

Song Jin and Xiao Xi met each other in humble circumstances.

Of course, this is what Xiaoxi thought was insignificant.

It took Song Jin such a long time to get Xiaoxi to let down her guard step by step and no longer be on guard in front of her.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it is February and spring has arrived.

It is the spring ploughing season and the weather is sunny today.

The sunlight felt warm on people's bodies, so Song Jin asked people to put the bedding in the room under the sun to dry.

Song Jin is already six or seven months pregnant.

There would be letters coming from Taihu Lake every month. According to Qin Chi, he could return to Beijing after the spring plowing was completed.

"According to the time, the young master will be back in a month. Madam, do you want me to make some new clothes for him?" Qin Qi came out with a quilt and put it on the bamboo rack in front of the yard.

"It's time to prepare."

In the past, Qin Chi’s clothes for four seasons were also prepared by Song Jin.

Most of the time, she didn't sew the clothes herself, but asked the embroiderer in the shop to do it.

Song Jin is pregnant now, so she handed the business over to Xing Lun.

I just had some free time.

He did whatever he thought of. He immediately went to the warehouse with Qin Qi to pick out a piece of navy blue cloth, and started cutting it. It looked like men's clothes.

"Madam, Miss Mu wants to see you."

Qin Qi blocked Mu Ting who was rushing over.

Mu Ting looked anxious, "Boss, I have something urgent to report."

"Aqi, let Mu Ting come in."

Song Jin put down the scissors and said to Qin Qi with a smile, "Help me bring a bowl of hot tea to the guest."

"lady……"

For the first time ever, Qin Qi did not leave.

The calmness and tranquility just now were broken. There was anxiety on his face and he no longer cared about any presumptuous behavior.

Song Jin's smile gradually faded, and she looked at Qin Qi with clear eyes, causing Qin Qi to slowly lower his head and half-kneel on the ground to plead guilty. However, she still did not say a word.

From this attitude, it is not difficult to see that Qin Qi is hiding something.

Song Jin dismissed him, "Ah Qi, go make some tea."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qin Qi stood up and walked towards the tea room with a serious expression. He glanced at Mu Ting when he passed by her.

Mu Ting just felt a chill on her back.

After Qin Qi left, Song Jin looked at Mu Ting and said, "Tell me, what happened outside?"

"Yes Yes……"

When Mu Ting was about to say something, she saw Song Jin's big belly, and the words in her mouth suddenly stopped coming out.

Song Jin's eyes were sharp, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"There's a letter from Taihu saying that Lord Qin has suddenly fallen ill. His attendant is looking for famous doctors everywhere, but all the doctors he went to see said that his condition is very serious. It might be that..." Mu Ting held it in for a long time before finally uttering the four words "he doesn't have much time left".

Song Jin felt his head buzzing when he heard this.

His body was unstable and swaying for a moment.

Mu Ting quickly stepped forward to support Song Jin, "Boss, Sir Qin will be fine with the blessing of God."

Song Jin suddenly held her stomach.

I have a slight stomachache.

Qin Qi came out with tea. When he saw this, he didn't care about anything else. "Quick! Help Madam into the house and let her lie down. I'll go get Doctor Jing to come over."

He threw the tea bowl in his hand away.

Qin Qi disappeared all of a sudden.

When she came back, she was holding Doctor Jing in her hand.

Song Jin was lying on a low couch, his face slightly pale, his hands stroking his bulging belly again and again, taking a deep breath from time to time, trying to calm his intense and uneasy emotions.

Doctor Jing came up to take the patient's pulse.

After a while, he changed his wrist.

"The fetus is fine, madam, there is no need to worry too much." Doctor Jing remembered the news from Taihu Lake, and knew why Song Jin was like this.

Compared to the time when Mu Ting came to report.

Old Man Hong received the news three days ago.

However, he was worried that Song Jin would be upset, so he had the news suppressed and kept it secret from Song Jin.

The main thing is that at this time, whether Song Jin knows or not, it won't change anything, distant water can't quench nearby fire. On the contrary, knowing it will affect her pregnancy.

But no matter how much he planned, Song Jin still knew it.
