Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 14 Qin Wan

Song Jinyue took the brother and sister to a well-known Cuixiang restaurant on Xichang Street.

As soon as he entered the door, the young man saw Song Jinyue dressed in a lake-green skirt and the hairpin on her bun. He thought to himself that this was an important guest, and he hurriedly ushered him to the private room on the second floor.

Song Jinyue waved her hand, "Two quiet and clean upper rooms."

"Okay, let's be objective and follow the younger ones."

The boy's body was slightly arched, the yellowed coarse sweat towel in his hand was casually placed on his shoulders, and he smiled and led the people to the backyard.

There are about a dozen high-quality guest rooms in the small courtyard behind Cuixiang Restaurant. The rent is 300 cash per day. If it were not for some wealthy guests, they would never live here. After all, it costs 300 cash per day.

.

This kind of rent is rare in Beijing.

Qin Sheng looked troubled, but he was worried about the difference between men and women and could not step forward, so he motioned to his sister Qin Wan to come forward and persuade him.

Qin Wan understood, stepped forward, tugged on Song Jinyue's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Miss, how can we brothers and sisters ask you to spend money again..."

Song Jinyue stopped and stood under the grape vine that was supported by wooden stakes on the porch. The half-withered green and yellow leaves on the vine fell with the gentle wind.

A lake-green ruqi skirt is set against the vermilion lanterns under the promenade, accompanied by the falling dead leaves.

What a beautiful woman who doesn't like the fireworks of this world.

Qin Sheng murmured in his heart, came back to his senses, and hurriedly turned his head to the side, but secretly looked at the beauty from the corner of his eye.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Song Jinyue squeezed Qin Wan's thin palm and comforted her.

The waiter has opened two red-painted wooden doors carved with cloud patterns. The two guest rooms are next to each other. Inside are black-lacquered tables and chairs, and a thick blanket on the bluestone floor.

Warm and clean.

Seeing that Song Jinyue insisted on this, Qin Sheng turned back and stepped forward, bowed, and then said slowly: "Can you allow me to ask for one more thing?"

Song Jinyue looked at the sound, nodded slightly, and signaled Qin Sheng to speak directly.

"The imperial examination will be here in two days. I don't feel at ease leaving my little sister here. Could you please take me to stay with you for a few days?"

Qin Sheng knew that his question was a bit difficult, but after all, this was a crowded restaurant. Once he entered the examination room in a few days, he would not be able to leave the examination room for three days.

He couldn't take the exam without leaving his sister here.

Furthermore, having less room to rent would also reduce the burden on Song Jinyue.

Thinking about how she was dressed up and had a girl by her side, it would be okay for her sister to go back with her and stay with the girl for two days, but it would inevitably cause her sister to suffer the grievances of being dependent on someone else.

Thinking of this, Qin Sheng looked at his sister. Qin Wan knew what his brother was thinking, so he shook his head and signaled his brother not to worry about her.

Song Jinyue thought about Qin Sheng's words and realized that it was not appropriate to leave Qin Wan here.

For the Duke's Mansion, it was just a pair of chopsticks.

It wasn’t difficult to do, so I did it right away.

The boy took Qin Sheng's baggage into the house and came forward with a sad smile on his face, "Miss, the rent here is one deposit and three payments."

The deposit is to compensate for damage to the appliances in the house, and the three-day deposit is to worry about someone moving in, defaulting on the rent, and eventually running away at night.

Cuixiang Tower did not have these rules before, but later encountered various situations, so these rules were added.

"Just go to the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion to settle the bill." Qiu Yun stepped forward and said.

The boy quickly put on a respectful look, nodded and bowed with a smile.

There were two legitimate ladies in the Duke of Song Dynasty's residence, but I didn't know which one was in front of me, so I didn't feel like asking, so I withdrew.

Qin Sheng was startled, it turned out to be the young lady from the Duke of Song Dynasty.

Qin Wan was also a little panicked for a moment. The person who rescued the two brothers and sisters turned out to be the young lady from the Duke's Mansion.

"I don't know the lady's name yet..." Qin Sheng asked, at least he must write down the name of his benefactor. If there is an opportunity in the future, he must repay this kindness.

"My young lady is the second young lady of the Duke's mansion. It is inconvenient to reveal her maiden name." Qiu Yun stepped forward and replied.

After all, no family in the capital would dare to leak the name of a noble lady, for fear that someone would taint the name of their own lady.

Qin Sheng suddenly realized and bowed to apologize.

Song Jinyue smiled slightly and shook her head, indicating that he was fine.

When Qin Wan learned Song Jinyue's identity, she didn't want to go with her, fearing that she would cause trouble to her if she went to the Duke's Mansion. But now that she had decided to rent a guest room, she was getting older and could no longer stay with her brother.

Crowded into a room.

Then, with Qiu Yun's half-hearted push, she followed Song Jinyue to the Duke's Mansion.

The shops on the street are now open, and the street is crowded with people.

Walking along the long street with bluestone slabs, Song Jinyue asked about Qin Wan's origins.

It turns out that the two brothers and sisters have lived in Dingzhou on the border since childhood. They have no father or mother, and they depend on each other for life.

The elder brother is studying, and the younger sister has some knowledge of medicine. They rely on collecting some traditional Chinese medicine to make up for their daily expenses.

Now Qin Sheng is successful in his studies, and Qin Wan has also saved some scraps of money by collecting traditional Chinese medicine over the years.

Pack everything up and travel all the way to the capital.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the capital, Qin Sheng was worried that it would be unsafe for his sister to go to the mountains outside the city alone to collect traditional Chinese medicine, so he did not allow her to go again. The daily expenses that were originally calculated have doubled as prices in the capital have doubled compared with other places.

The scraps of silver saved are getting less and less day by day.

Now that the scientific examination is about to take place, the brother and sister have completely lost their savings.

Qin Sheng was planning to sell some of the books he had left at home and use the proceeds to make ends meet.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Li kicked them out today without any explanation.

Qin Wan learned some medical skills, and Song Jinyue started to think about it, but she didn't say anything.

She did not dare to rashly bring Qin Wan into the palace to see her aunt.

Crossing the end of the long street, the black nanmu door plaque of the Duke's Mansion comes into view.

The young man wearing a gray cloth jacket who was guarding the door saw the second young lady coming back and hurriedly opened the main door. Then he stood aside with his hands lowered and called out "Second Young Lady".

Qin Wan watched timidly, not daring to say anything, and followed Qiu Yun cautiously.

When the boy saw Qin Wan, he was stunned and asked, "Second young lady, who is this young lady?"

"Friend, come and stay with me for two days."

"Yes, the young one will go and inform Manager Song right now."

Song Jinyue nodded, then stepped through the black nanmu threshold and entered the Duke's Mansion.

Stepping into the Duke's Mansion, Qin Wan opened his mouth and was amazed at the grandeur of a noble man's house. Thinking of the few simple houses in Dingzhou, he couldn't help but lower his head in shame.

She didn't dare to breathe loudly. She knew that there were many rules in the Gaomen Courtyard, especially in the Duke's Mansion.

She had heard the story of Miss Song Er, the most distinguished lady in the capital.

Her biological aunt is the empress, her biological cousin is the prince, her renter belongs to the Zhang family, who has made great achievements in war, her uncle is stationed at the border of Dingzhou all year round, and she is the second young lady of the Duke's mansion.

There is no more noble lady than her in the entire capital.

I heard that even the princesses in the palace were three times shorter when they met Miss Song Er.

She had originally thought that a young lady who had been raised in a pillow of gold and jade must have a cold and arrogant temperament, with a touch of arrogance and arrogance. She could only hear a few things about such a noble person in her life through people's comments.

I never imagined that I would be able to meet him one day.

Today, not only did she meet her, but I was also rescued by her. Such a most expensive girl was far different from her shallow understanding.
