Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 37
Qin Shao saw the tense look of the old lady Jin, and realized that the need to be cautious when speaking in ancient times is not nonsense, and it is possible to say a wrong word and cause disaster.

Thinking about the trials and tribulations along the way, it is not easy to mix in this hierarchical ancient society!
The Jin family was originally a farming household, because in the outskirts of the city, Daddy Jin also did some small oil business. Although the family life is not considered rich, it is still a well-off family.

Mrs. Jin is also good at managing the family. She has only one son, Jin Da. The family has little burden, and they built three big houses early.

It's just that the good times didn't last long. Father Jin fell ill, and the mainstay of the family couldn't make money, and he had to pay for medical treatment every day.

The family gradually went from bad to worse. In order to see a doctor for Mr. Jin, the best two acres of paddy fields in the family were also mortgaged.

Father Jin also died in the end, and the Jin family was defeated from then on.

After Jin Da became an adult, he inherited the business of old father Jin's oil seller, but he was honest and not very flexible in doing business, and it was difficult to be rich if he was not a businessman.

The money he earned from selling oil was enough to support the lives of the mother and son.

He is nearly thirty years old and has not yet married a wife.

But this old lady Jin has a big heart, knowing that her son is sincere, there is no need to be anxious.

The mother and son talked and did things in a slow voice, discussing and discussing things, and the atmosphere at home was warm.

The Jin family's house is not big, but the three houses are not small.

Two rooms, one utility room.

It turned out that Mrs. Jin and her son lived in one room each.

Now that Mrs. Jin is getting old, it is inconvenient to go out at night. Jin Da is filial, so she simply stays in the mother's room to take care of her.

The room looked shabby, but it was clean inside.

Although Qin Shao, as a time traveler, has seen wealth and honor in his previous life, he has experienced all kinds of hardships during his journey.

The original hypocritical problem has long since disappeared!

Compared with the days of fleeing, such conditions are already very good.

They found some wooden boards, built a bed in the room, and unloaded the small cart, and finished the simple arrangement.

Dinner was eaten with Mrs. Jin and the others.

The meal is very simple, boiled some sorghum rice, then some pickles and boiled salted vegetables, and a plate of bacon.

The bacon is a bit sticky, it should have been left for a long time.

It is estimated that they came, and Mrs. Jin was willing to eat the meat.

It seems that their life is really not generous enough.

After eating, Qin Shao planned to give Mrs. Jin some silver taels as expenses for living in her house.

The old lady resolutely declined.

It is said that they saved their own family, not to mention where to stay, even if they lived for a year or so, it would not be a problem.

There was no way, Qin Shao thought that he could go to the street to buy some food the next day, which could be regarded as subsidizing their family.

"Old lady, you and Brother Jin often walk around the streets, have you heard that there is a lone official named Qin in the county government?"

After dinner, Qin Shao asked Mrs. Jin about it.

"Master Qin, there are hundreds of servants in the county yamen, big and small, and we have been selling oil for more than ten years. Although there is no contact with the people here, they all have noodles (meaning roughly met), don’t tell me, there really is a surnamed Qin!”

Mrs. Jin said with a smile while opening her mouth with a few missing front teeth.

Hearing that the third son and the others called the young man Master Qin, this man was upright and generous, and he saved their mother and son, so Mrs. Jin couldn't help calling Qin Shao Lord Qin along with them.

"You said that there really is a surnamed Qin?"

Qin Shao was very pleasantly surprised, there was nowhere to find it after breaking through the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it!

Could it be that if you really want to find your own cheap father right away, it won't work from time to time?

"Master Qin, our county magistrate is surnamed Qin, what is his name Qin Wenbin, my son, is he called Qin Wenbin?"

Mrs. Jin was a little uncertain, she turned around and asked Jin Da who was squatting aside.

"It's called Qin Wenbin, the county magistrate of Qin, but he's not alone, he has a wife and children, Hu... shopkeeper Hu, Hu butcher is his brother-in-law!"

Jin Da explained.

"You said that the person who lost the silver today is the brother-in-law of Qin Xiancheng?"

Qin Shao was a little surprised.

He was a little disappointed, seeing that the butcher Hu was also in his early forties, and he was still the brother-in-law of the county magistrate of Qin.

Then Mrs. Qin should be around forty, and should have been married for many years.

My aunt didn't say that my father took a concubine or something, even if he took a concubine, he wouldn't be so old, right?
"Yes, the butcher Hu is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate of Qin. Their family is in the pork business. They used to have a son-in-law who is the magistrate and occupied the entire street's business. No one will be able to buy pork from him! "

"However, there is a new county magistrate now. The new county magistrate opposes bullying and bullying the city, and doesn't like the county magistrate's style. Then the Hu family has kept a low profile recently!"

Mrs. Jin explained.

"Old lady, I think that butcher Hu is not young, why did he take such an old concubine?"

Qin Shao asked the question in his heart.

"My Lord Qin! That lady of the Hu family is not a concubine. She is the wife of the prime minister of Qin County. She has been married for many years. The eldest son of the Qin family is 14 years old. He was a scholar who was admitted last year, a rare young talent! Then The Hu family is really popular, but their character is really bad."

Mrs. Jin explained.

"Grandma, do you know when Qin Xiancheng came to Anlu Prefecture?"

Qin Shao asked.

"That was still the time of Lord Hongzhi. I can't remember whether it was Hongzhi's seventh or eighth year. Anyway, it is almost 17 or 18 years now!"

Mrs. Kim recalled.

Qin Shao's heart sank for a while, and at first he thought that this might be his cheap father, and he dreamed of being a second-generation official.

That being said, maybe not!

Could it be that my aunt made a mistake?
Thinking about it, it should be impossible, my aunt was very sure at the time.

Said that his father had written letters to go home some years ago.

It's just that the time when Qin Xiancheng came to Anlu seems to be somewhat consistent with his cheap father!
……

"Master, should we go to the county government to inquire again, maybe there are other people surnamed Qin who are on business."

In the evening, Han Jinrong suggested to Qin Shao.

"It's not in a hurry to find someone. We'll go buy some living expenses tomorrow."

Qin Shao said.

Mrs. Jin's life is tense at home, and it is not easy for them to eat and use other people's food all the time.

Tomorrow, I still have to go to the street market to buy some supplies to get by.

After all, finding someone in this era is not something that can be done in a short while.

Settle down first, no matter you find it or you can't find it, you should leave it behind.

Although Mrs. Jin's Qin Xiancheng did not seem to match the cheap father she was looking for, the names did not match, and the family situation was different.

It's just that I haven't seen anyone yet, so it can't be completely ruled out.

As for his aunt saying that his father was alone, Qin Shao had some doubts.

For a man, it is too difficult to be Liu Xiahui if he can endure loneliness and guard his body like a jade!
The cheap father in this world has not returned home for many years, will he really be alone and guard his body like a jade?

And my mother in this world gave birth to a child, why not go to that cheap father and live a hard life at home?

It's all so confusing!

He is anxious to find a cheap father now, but he doesn't have to rely on a big tree to enjoy the shade. Of course, it would be a good thing if he could rely on it.

It's just that the problem he needs to solve now is the problem of identity.

Now that there is chaos everywhere, if he wants to settle down in Anlu Prefecture, he must have an identity.

According to Mrs. Jin, if he really has a cheap father here, he can go to the county government to confirm his identity and stay.

"Master, do you think we should take a sneak peek at what Qin Xiancheng looks like tomorrow? Wouldn't it be all right to see if it's Master Qin?"

The third son reminded.
