I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

Chapter 479 Counterattack General 1

After noon.

Another guest came to visit.

Xu appeared surrounded by servants.

She was dressed in rich attire, covered in pearls and jade.

From the moment he stepped into Song Jin's house, his long eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if he was in deep thought, or as if he was examining his surroundings.

The person welcoming guests at the door was Song Jitao.

Song Jin sat in the hall without even changing his clothes. He got up in the morning to greet Old Madam Liao because she was an elder and Liao Dandan was ignored by her.

The person I want to meet this time is Xu.

He is of the same generation as Song Jin.

Xu held the maid's wrist and asked, "Is Manager Song the housekeeper here?"

"I'm the owner of the drug store."

Song Jitao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Xu asked again, "Is your master all right? I heard that Lord Xiangyi is also staying here to recuperate?"

"You will be able to see my master in a moment."

What Song Jitao said was as good as nothing.

Xu didn't expect this man to be so stubborn. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped. She looked down and saw her toes, and then the servant who was following her saw it.

One of the maids nearby knelt down immediately.

He picked up the dead leaves that her toes almost stepped on, and wiped the stone slab under Xu's feet with a handkerchief.

It seemed like it had been wiped clean and Xu could leave.

The well-mannered smile on Xu's face almost broke. She asked with some disdain between her brows, "Shopkeeper Song, I'm quite curious. Your master has such wealth and honor, why does he insist on living here? Is this a good place for Feng Shui?"

Song Jitao kept smiling and continued to lead the way.

Xu was somewhat unyielding, and said with a fake smile, "In the past, any family in the capital would feel that they were neglecting their guests if they treated them like this. Haha, luckily, I heard that Princess An always lived a simple life and couldn't even afford a decent cleaner."

This house is very ordinary.

It is not even as good as the worst house owned by the Xu family.

Song Jitao smiled and was not angry. "This is also my fault. I saw that everyone worked hard to entertain the old lady of the Liao family this morning. I forgot that there were guests in the afternoon and let everyone go on holiday. You don't have to worry. The servants who sweep the floor are not here, but there must be a maid to serve tea. Madam Dai, please come in."

The group stopped in front of the hall.

Xu was supposed to go in, but she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did you say just now? Did the Liao family come to visit this morning?"

Outrageous!

He received two guests in one day and put her last in the queue. He even dared to say that even the servants had gone on holiday!

Is this looking down on the Chu County Prince's Mansion? !

Xu wanted to walk away, but when she looked up inadvertently, she saw a beautiful woman sitting elegantly on the main seat in the hall.

I was stunned for a moment.

"An, Princess An?" Xu was surprised.

Song Jin looked at Xu with a calm and cold look, then turned to Song Jitao who was beside Xu and said, "Go and tell the servants to serve tea to Madam Dai."

"Yes."

Song Jitao responded respectfully.

He turned around and walked around Xu and went out.

At this moment, Xu was unable to advance or retreat, and was stuck at the threshold.

She came with a purpose.

I finally got to meet Song Jin, I can't just leave without saying a word, right?

Everyone in the outside world knows that Song Jin is rarer than a princess.

After struggling for a while, Xu chose to go in and walked lightly to Song Jin.

Xu bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess of the County."

"No need to be polite, please sit down."

Song Jin raised his hand and motioned for her to sit down.

Xu's attitude became much more restrained. She thanked him and sat down. A maid brought her hot tea.

Song Jin said bluntly: "Regarding the matter of Zhengyang Bookstore, did you ask someone to stop us from getting the books?"

"Ouch, that was a misunderstanding."

Xu received a reply from Song Jin yesterday, and sent a message to the bookstore. Therefore, Song Jitao had taken away the remaining medical books this morning. "The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. When I went to the bookstore for inspection, I saw those medical books. I thought someone had violated the rules in printing them, so I had them detained for a few days to investigate. Yesterday, I learned that it was from the Princess of An County, so I notified them immediately."

After saying that, Xu stood up.

He bowed to Song Jinyingying with an apologetic look on his face.

After this bow, Xu believed that Song Jin would no longer have a legitimate reason to make things difficult for her.

Song Jin curled his lips sarcastically.

But soon the corners of his lips returned to normal.

On the surface, Mrs. Xu seemed well-educated and well-mannered, but in fact, her arrogance was about to overflow. She was far less considerate than Old Madam Liao, who at least brought valuable gifts with her.

After waiting for a long time, Song Jin didn't speak.

Finally, Xu took a step back and said, "I am wrong in this matter. To express my apology, I have a villa on South Street that I can give to you as a gift."

"Oh, you're very kind then."

Song Jin replied indifferently.

When Xu heard this, she looked grateful on the surface, but felt quite contemptuous in her heart.

As expected, he was born into a merchant family, and was dismissed with a courtyard, so his horizons were limited. The vigilance that had just been raised was relaxed a little, and then, intentionally or unintentionally, Xu led the topic to her sister-in-law Su Min.

They were all good things about Su Min.

Of course, the focus is on Su Min's simplicity and innocence.

No woman wants her husband to take a scheming concubine. Xu is an experienced person and knows this very well.

She just said a lot of things, and Song Jin would often respond, but after going around in circles, there was no progress.

Until it was late.

Song Jin served the guest a cup of tea.

No matter how unwilling Xu was, he couldn't be so shameless as to turn a blind eye.

Wait until you step out of the Song family’s yard.

The breeze outside made my fogged brain suddenly become clear.

Maybe she made a mistake today.

She underestimated Song Jin!

"Goodbye, Madam Dai." Song Jitao came again to see the guest off.

Xu glared at him with her beautiful eyes.

He got on the carriage and left without looking back.

After Song Jitao sent the people away, he went back to the study to report to Song Jin.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Song Jitao left the study.

Song Jin recorded everything that happened at Jifang Pharmacy yesterday, and then pointed out that it was Liao Dandan who was causing the trouble. He also recorded today's meeting with Old Madam Liao and Liao Dandan, as well as Xu's every word and action.

Wait for the ink to dry.

Close the booklet and put it in the secret compartment.

Since this day on.

Song Jin did not reply to anyone's visiting card. From time to time, noble ladies or young ladies appeared in Jifang Pharmacy, and some even jumped in front of Song Jin to make trouble for him.

Song brocade is a steady piece.

In the future, every word, action, and gesture of those who jump in front of her will be recorded carefully and impartially.

Organize into a book.

half a month later.

Song Jin asked someone to deliver the booklet to Qin Chi.

Along with the booklet, there is also a gift list.

Good guy!

What a huge windfall!

Song Jin stated that the items on the list would be donated to the previously turbulent areas in the south to help the people rebuild their homes.

The war in the south had just subsided, and money was needed everywhere. This money was like timely help.

Qin Chi did not only that, he took the booklet and took the opportunity to clean up the court.

Eliminate corrupt officials and hold imperial examinations to recruit talented people.

No one expected that Song Jin's ordinary action would cause a shock in the court officialdom.

When all the officials learned the cause, they found out that it was only because some ignorant women had come to Song Jin. At a time when they were still complacent and thought that Song Jin was a good-for-nothing.

They were defeated by the other party.

Even their families will be implicated and punished to varying degrees, and they feel so frustrated!

And it was Song Jin who caused all this.

I am packing my bags and will be leaving Beijing soon.
