I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!
Chapter 482 Well deserved
Chapter 482 Well deserved
Song Jin used to be a merchant using a fake identity because she was afraid of her enemies. In recent years, she has no longer concealed anything and has been doing things openly.
Some conservative people began to question her, saying that as a woman, she should not be in the limelight and should stay at home to take care of her husband and children. But there were also some supporters who said that she could have enjoyed a comfortable life, but she cared about the people of the world and worked tirelessly in folk medicine, which benefited the country and future generations.
For the Great Xia Dynasty, this was a great thing that benefited the country and the people.
But there were still controversies at the beginning.
It was not until Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty found out that he praised her highly in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, saying that Song Jin was worthy of being the mother of the little prince and was extraordinary. He also said that she was a woman of great virtue and integrity, and was a well-deserved role model for women in the world.
The emperor’s words undoubtedly greatly elevated Song Brocade!
These words spread quickly, and no one dared to question or criticize Song Jin anymore. Emperor Mingwu’s words spread even more widely, and Song Jin’s deeds were made into songs, which spread almost throughout Daxia.
At the same time, the reputation of the young prince among the people also rose. Most people thought that since the young prince had a mother like Song Jin, his moral character must be good. In addition, with Qin Chi, a father who was a model of scholars in the world, he would most likely not be a mediocre person, which made countless people think that the future of the Great Xia Dynasty was promising.
It’s a bit strange to say.
The person who had the closest relationship with Song Jin was none other than Qin Chi. However, not many people talked about Qin Chi in the matter of Song Jin. Later, someone curiously investigated and found that Qin Chi was behind it.
Qin Chi is willing to be a supporting role for his wife and children, and has been paving the way for them without asking for anything in return, making it difficult for some people who dislike him to guess his intentions.
However, four years passed.
No one thought that Song Jin was not worthy of Qin Chi anymore.
Some people even said that they were born to be a couple.
Song Jin was making plans at this time.
Calculating this year’s accounts.
Mu Ting flipped through the accounts and said, “We are losing money again this year. I wonder when we can make a profit?”
“almost.”
Song Jin closed the account book.
Fame and fortune complement each other.
Mu Ting helped to clean up.
When Song Jin leaned back in his chair with a frown on his face, Mu Ting suddenly seemed to remember something and said casually:
“Boss, it’s strange that no one from the capital has come this month.”
“Ok?”
Song Jin paused as he frowned.
Mu Ting put away a pile of account books. “In the past, letters would arrive in the middle of the month, but now it’s almost the end of the month and there’s still no sign.”
If Mu Ting hadn’t mentioned it, Song Jin wouldn’t have noticed it.
There would be at least one letter a month, sometimes three or four. Now it’s been more than a month, and there is not a single letter?
This has not happened in the past few years.
Song Jin thought about it and said, “It’s not surprising that there was no letter for once. Maybe Lord Qin is busy recently and has no time to write a letter, or maybe the letter was delayed on the way.”
“Probably so.”
Mu Ting thought so too.
The two men left the shop.
Get on the carriage and go back home.
Along the way, Song Jin was uneasy.
When she got back, she saw her youngest son sitting upright in front of a small table, practicing his calligraphy obediently. Next to him was her old father, Song Kuan, who was sitting with his legs crossed, drinking a glass of wine.
So leisurely and comfortable.
After being a rich man for a few years, he developed a little belly.
“Mom! You’re back!”
The little boy who was practicing calligraphy rolled his eyes and when he opened his mouth to call “Mom”, he took the opportunity to put down his pen and stand up.
Song Jin saw through his intention at a glance, “Qin Linxiao, stop being so clever, and don’t get up until you finish writing.”
“I just saw my mother and was so happy that I forgot about it.” The five-year-old boy is handsome. According to the Qin family, he looks very much like Qin Chi when he was a child, but they only look alike. Their personalities are completely different. They say that Qin Chi was very well-behaved and quiet when he was a child, not as lively and active as Qin Chi.
According to Song Jin, not only are their looks very similar, but their personalities are even more similar. They both seem to have eight hundred minds and will play tricks on you if you don’t keep an eye on them.
Little Linxiao raised his little face again, and said with a sweet mouth: “Are you tired, mom? Son, can I go and get you a cup of tea? Mom has to do so many things every day, it’s really amazing, you are really the most amazing mother in the world!”
Song Jin raised his eyebrows and said, “Sit down and write your words carefully.”
“Ok.”
Failed again!
Little Linxiao could only continue writing with a stern face.
Song Kuan, who was watching from the sidelines, was amused. Such scenes would happen often after his grandson’s enlightenment.
Song Jin sat opposite Song Kuan.
Then the maid brought lukewarm tea.
Song Jin picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
After drinking half a bowl, he stopped drinking and just held the tea bowl in a daze.
Song Kuan asked, “Did you encounter any problems today? Was there something wrong with the accounts?” He knew that his daughter went to check the accounts today.
“there is nothing.”
Song Jin said that he felt it was inappropriate, and then laughed it off, “The account is in the red again. Which businessman would be in a good mood, right?”
“What’s this?”
Song Kuan said disapprovingly, “My girl, you have been mentally prepared for this, haven’t you? The investment in the first few years was huge, just to make a profit. I asked you to clearly mark the price of the book, and to get back the cost even if you don’t make any money, but you insisted on giving it away for free. Now you feel bad, don’t you?”
Song Jin knew that her father had misunderstood, but she did not explain. Perhaps she was deliberately guiding him, “It’s not just this matter.”
“What else?” Song Kuan asked curiously.
“I’m thinking about opening a women’s clinic.” Song Jin has traveled extensively and seen many women in difficult situations. “Last month, I passed by a small town and witnessed a woman jumping into a river to commit suicide. She was suffering from illness, and her mother-in-law and husband would not allow her to seek medical treatment, so she wanted to seek relief through death.”
At that time, Song Jin heard what others were talking about.
It was the woman’s husband’s family who wouldn’t let her see a doctor, causing a minor illness to turn into a major one. The reason turned out to be that all the doctors in the town were men, and women were not allowed to have contact with men. They had to maintain some strict separation between men and women, as if a woman had lost her innocence by seeing a doctor.
Song Jin felt mixed emotions when he heard this.
Later I learned that this was the trend throughout the town.
This woman is not an isolated case.
Although Song Jin’s previous work was beneficial to the country and the people, it cannot be said that she had no selfish motives. At least she thought that if things were done well, she could add a layer of security to the Song family, help her eldest son to secure the position of crown prince, and at the same time she would not waste her youth. On the contrary, when she proposed to open a women’s clinic, her thoughts were much purer.
Song Kuan asked, “What do you want to do? There aren’t many women who are doctors.”
“If I don’t have any, I can raise some myself. I can first study the medical book by Master Jing, which is easy to understand. As for the candidates, I can go to the dental clinic to select, mainly orphans, and send them to the pharmacy after they are trained. I can ask the shopkeeper to set up a special compartment for women to see. And hang a sign at the door saying men are not allowed to enter…”
“This is not a good deal. You should know that the lives of poor people are worthless, and women from poor backgrounds are even worse. Not to mention that they don’t have much money, even if they are really sick, their families may not be willing to spend money to see a doctor.” Song Kuan knew that it was not that no one had thought of opening a clinic specifically for women, but in the end, it would fail.
Song Jin’s eyes were calm and indifferent. “It doesn’t matter. I didn’t open the women’s clinic just to make money. I just opened it when I wanted to.”
“Okay then, Dad will support you no matter what. Just tell me if you need money.” Song Kuan said indifferently.
Song Jin smiled, “Then I’d like to thank Dad first.”
“Hey, you’re so polite.”
Song Kuan waved his hand and paused, as if he remembered something. “By the way, why is there no news from the capital this month?”
Song Jin was silent.
Song Kuan straightened his sitting posture, leaned towards Song Jin, and asked in a low voice: “Girl, is there something wrong?”
“Maybe he was delayed on the road.” Song Jin didn’t expect that after going around in circles he would end up with this problem.
Song Kuan didn’t ask any more questions.
I hope so.
