Chapter 249 Yuan Mansion gives gifts
When Qin Chi woke up, it was already the next morning. After sweeping away his previous fatigue, he also found that Song Jin was no longer in the room.
Get dressed and go out.
I saw Qin Mingsong and Lu Yanji in the courtyard.
The two of them were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and discussing the test questions for this exam.
Yesterday Lao Li went to pick them up.
The two of them did not choose to stay in Qin Chi''s place. They all knew that Qin Chi''s house was very small and all the guest rooms were occupied by servants. Qin Mingsong bothered Old Li Tou to send him back to the academy.
Lu Yanji has a bookboy to pick him up and drop him off, so he doesn''t need to bother Old Li.
Both of them came to visit Qin Chi this morning.
I just finished taking the exam and wanted to sit down and have a chat.
"Qian, are you awake?" Lu Yanji stood up and greeted politely.
Qin Chi walked over, said hello to Qin Mingsong, and sat on the stool next to them, "You guys came quite early."
"I heard that you were the first to leave the examination room yesterday, but you looked more tired than us." Lu Yanji joked.
I was so tired yesterday.
But the advantage is that you are young, and you will feel more energetic once you sleep.
Qin Mingsong was also looking at Qin Chi.
Qin Chi smiled and said: "My health is not good, what if I need more rest? I''m lucky that I didn''t fall ill."
After he mentioned it.
It’s true!
After a while, Lao Li brought tea.
The breakfast the cook gave Qin Chiwen was ready.
Qin Chi asked politely: "Would you two like to eat something together?"
"No, we all had breakfast before coming."
Lu Yanji refused, and so did Qin Mingsong. Especially when he saw that the breakfast Qin Chi served was very simple, a bowl of white rice porridge, two small steamed buns and a small plate of pickles.
Qin Mingsong usually eats better than Qin Chi, "Does Dalang eat this every day?"
"Yeah, save money."
Qin Chi''s eating movements were very gentle, but his eating speed was not slow.
The breakfast visible to the naked eye is finished.
Then a mother-in-law came over to take away the dishes. Qin Chi wiped his hands again, and breakfast was settled. "I don''t have much income now. It''s really difficult to live here in the capital. Everything costs money."
"How come I don''t believe it so much?" Lu Yanji said with a smile.
Qin Chiqing coughed, "Why don''t you believe it?"
Lu Yanji said: "Look at your house, how many slaves you have? People without money can''t afford it."
Qin Mingsong said nothing.
He knew that the silver probably belonged to Song Jin.
Qin Chi said indifferently: "Look at the people here. Most of them are elderly. How much money can they get in a dental shop?"
It''s true.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement at the gate.
Old Man Hong slowly opened the door, "Who is it?"
"Is this the residence of Qin Qi''an and Qin Juren? I am the steward of the Yuan Mansion. I came to your residence specially to visit and send an invitation to my master." A middle-aged man''s polite voice came from outside.
"Hold on."
With a bang, Old Man Hong closed the door.
Then he walked to the courtyard, and Old Man Hong said respectfully: "Sir, there is someone outside who claims to be the butler of the Yuan Mansion to deliver you an invitation. I see that he is also carrying two boxes of things, which should be gifts for you. ”
"I don''t know Yuan Mansion, I probably sent it to the wrong place."
Qin Chi''s ability to tell the truth with his eyes open is average.
This is the unanimous thought of several people present. You must know that they just said it, and they directly pointed it out just now that they are here to give Qin Chi a gift.
Qin Mingsong''s eyes narrowed slightly, "Yuan Mansion? Which Yuan Mansion?"
"have no idea."
Qin Chi waved his hand to Old Man Hong to send them away.
Old man Hong did as he was told without asking a single question.
Qin Mingsong asked strangely: "How come Dalang doesn''t know this? If this Yuan family is the Yuan Shangshu family, you will undoubtedly offend the other party by doing this, which will be detrimental to your future career."
"If I didn''t enter the officialdom and started to form cliques for personal gain, I would undoubtedly be ruining my future." Qin Chi said this to the point.
Qin Mingsong''s heart suddenly shook.
During this time in the capital, he was working everywhere.
Why didn''t you think of this?
Just at this time, someone outside heard a loud voice: "I am the steward of Yuan Shangshu''s mansion. I came to your mansion specially to visit. I also asked Qin Juren to come out and see me."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Qin Chi frowned slightly.
What does the Yuan family want to do?
After Old Man Hong explained the matter, he closed the door directly and stopped talking no matter how many people outside shouted.
These dogs from the Yuan family have repeatedly caused trouble for their young master. If he had taken action before, why would he still let them bark outside? The exam had just ended when he came to the door with a heavy gift.
If Qin Chi accepts it, will Qin Chi''s reputation be better if word spreads?
Lu Yanji and Qin Mingsong didn''t say anything else.
However, Yuan Shangshu''s move was very puzzling to the two of them. It''s not like something a minister would do.
Waited for another half-quarter of an hour.
The Yuan family at the door left.
Not only that, the people who were watching nearby also left and hurried back to report the matter to their master.
Not to mention the Yuan family.
On the contrary, the Yang family was very surprised.
Mr. Yang Ge commented: "He is a smart man and has not been fooled."
"Didn''t the Yuan family sincerely apologize?"
Yang Yingrong didn''t understand.
Yang Ge said: "It''s right to come to apologize, but it also depends on when. It makes sense that what the Yuan family has done is exposed. The problem is that what the Yuan family has done now has not spread outside. If Qin Qi''an is at this time What will others think of accepting a gift from the Yuan family?"
No one else spoke.
Yang Yingji said: "Others will think that Qin Qi''an has taken refuge in Yuan Shangshu. He has openly taken sides before he has won the ranking. Outsiders will think that he is eager for quick success and short-sighted."
"Yes, so the Yuan family is not apologizing, but digging a big hole for Qin Qian." Mr. Yang Ge analyzed the pros and cons.
Of course, Qin Chi refused the Yuan family''s gift and offended the Yuan family in the eyes of outsiders. It might cause some trouble in the short term, but in the future what the Yuan family did to him would be revealed and the hidden benefits he would gain would be huge.
At least his character holds up.
You must know that if he is afraid of the Yuan family, when the Yuan family wants to kill him, he will still make excuses with his enemies. At Qin Chi''s age, people will inevitably think that he lacks the integrity of a scholar who is not afraid of power.
Sometimes being too shrewd and diplomatic is not a good thing.
Yang Yingrong said happily: "Ha, how stupid the Yuan family must be, it can be considered that one stupidity makes a whole family stupid. Qin Qian''s reputation among scholars has become very loud, and he has almost become a leader of the younger generation."
"Oh, what do you mean?" Mr. Yang Ge was surprised.
Yang Yingrong said: "Oh, you will know if you take a walk outside. Many students worship him. Some of them are as if they are possessed by a demon. They worship him so much."
Someone who graduated from the Imperial College in two years.
You can imagine how powerful it is.
Mr. Yang Ge was thoughtful and took this matter to heart, "For a genius who has not yet matured to confront the Yuan Mansion so early, he is undoubtedly putting an egg on a stone..."
"Ha, he is in the same group as our family."
"Rong''er is right, thanks to the Yuan family."
