Chapter 1 Twin Sisters

Huizhou Prefecture, She County.

At night, the streets and alleys are quiet, and occasionally you can hear the barking of dogs.

The Song family suddenly broke into a group of officials. The leader of the official claimed that the medicinal materials sold by the Song family to the Northwest Army were of inferior quality and caused death, so he was ordered to search the house and question the crime.

"It's bad! Water is leaking in the backyard!"

"Quickly put out the fire! The eldest lady and the second lady are still in the house!"

"Help!"

The Song family was in chaos, and there were cries everywhere.

An ordinary carriage came out of the alley next to Song's house and hurried towards the city gate.

inside the carriage.

Song Jin hugged her concubine Song Xiu, feeling dazed and uneasy.

The old man Qin who was driving said: "Girl, when we get to Qinjiagou, we will tell others that you are from the next county and your parents are dead."

"Okay." Song Jin responded.

"Mr. Song and I have discussed it. The one who is engaged to the eldest daughter is my son Qin Mingsong. He is 18 this year. He is already a scholar and is studying at Ziyang Academy in Fucheng..."

According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, the crime does not affect the daughter of a married woman. Therefore, when Song Kuan saw something happened to the Song family, it happened that his old acquaintance Qin, the old man, was staying at the Song family tonight, so he betrothed his daughter to the son of the Qin family.

The Qin family has only two marriageable boys.

One is Qin Mingsong, the youngest son of old man Qin, and the other is Qinchi, the eldest son of the house.

Song Jin was betrothed to Qin Mingsong by Song's father.

The concubine Song Xiu was only fourteen years old and was given to Qin Chi.

After this disaster, the wealthy Song family was completely destroyed.

Song Jin tightened her clothes. Although she was reborn, her rebirth was too late and failed to solve the Song family's dead situation.

That’s all, take it one step at a time.

The carriage traveled more than eighty miles from She County to Qinjiagou. If we continued on the road, we would reach Qin's house the next day.

After old man Qin's arrangement, Song Jin and Song Xiu moved into the same room.

The room was kept very clean.

There is an 80% new bed, a semi-old wardrobe and a square low table. There is a six-legged basin stand in the corner, and there are also personal toiletries and other daily necessities on the shelf.

In addition, there is a large bookshelf standing next to the wall, which is filled with books, from the "Three Character Classic" and "Disciples' Regulations" to "The Great Learning", "The Analects of Confucius", etc., most of which are related to the imperial examination.

The books and articles are neatly arranged without any damage, which shows the owner's care for them.

According to her memories from her previous life, this should be Qin Chi's house.

Presumably it was because Qin Chi had not returned yet that Old Qin allowed her sisters to live here.

"Sister, do you want to live in this house?"

When Song Xiu saw this small and simple room, she felt extremely disgusted, "I have never lived in such a bad place in my life."

"Children from farmers usually have to sleep in the same room. It would be nice to have a single room." Song Jin was accustomed to the willfulness of his concubine.

What's more, the current situation is dangerous, and sisters are lucky to be alive. How can they be picky about the environment in which they live.

Song Xiu stopped talking, but when he secretly peeked at Song Jin, his eyes were full of malice.

In her previous life, she married Qin Chi and became a widow early; Song Jin became the first lady in the second year of her marriage.

When she was seventeen years old, she remarried a poor scholar, ate chaffy vegetables every day, and was chastised by her evil mother-in-law. Song Jin had a good life, and Qin Mingsong became a high school Jinshi within two years, enjoying great glory.

Later...she was tricked by a man into working as a prostitute in another place! Every day was as bad as a pig or a dog, it was dark, and there was no one to collect the corpse until the day he died!

Why can my sister marry the charming Qin Mingsong? She also became an official's wife and lived a good life that everyone envied?

And she could only marry a sick man and become a widow early? Why? !

Just because her sister was born two years earlier than her?

Before Song Xiu's death, he was full of resentment and deeply hated the injustice of heaven.

Unexpectedly, after death, people do not go to hell, but return to their home when the accident happened. They were on their way to the Qin family for the first time!

Song Xiu cried with joy.

She felt that this was God compensating her and allowing her to live again. This time, she didn't want to marry that sick man again.

She is going to marry her brother-in-law!

She will be the official wife, the scenery is hers, and the good life is hers...

"Sister, are you feeling better?"

Song Jin asked concernedly while spreading the quilt on the bed.

Song Xiu said in her usual pampering tone: "Much better, sister, do you really want to marry a mud-legged man? Why doesn't dad find us someone from the city?"

"Sister, be careful what you say!"

Song Jin understood his father's approach, "Now it's not up to you and me to be picky. If you want to survive, just follow dad's arrangements."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"I can't help you." Song Xiu curled her lips in displeasure, suddenly rolled her eyes, stood up and covered her stomach, "I'm going to make it easier."

After saying that, Song Xiu ran out.

Song Jin hasn't slept a wink since the accident at home, and really doesn't have the energy to take care of her sister. Anyway, she is in the Qin family, so nothing major can happen.

She sat on the edge of the bed, wanting to rest first. However, out of control, my mind thought of my father, whose life or death was uncertain, and of the Luban box he hurriedly gave me.

Song Jin stood up, picked up the baggage, and found the Luban box. I learned how to use the box mechanism when I was a child.

So, she opened it easily.

Inside the box were ten silver ingots, a stack of silver notes, household registration documents and a few jewelry items.

Song Jin skillfully opened the underlying mechanism, and there was indeed something hidden inside. It was a letter and a copy of "Song's Pharmacopoeia".

This "Song Family Pharmacopoeia" is the foundation for generations of the Song family to live and work. It records the roasting techniques of hundreds of medicinal materials.

As a result, the Song family has been established in Fucheng for a hundred years, and the medicinal materials they sell are always two to three points better than other medicinal materials on the market, and the price is reasonable, so they are highly sought after by doctors.

Song Jin opened the letter again.

The letter explained some things, asking her to memorize the contents of the pharmacopoeia before burning it, and remember not to fall into the hands of others. It also mentioned that the Song family was in trouble, and it was suspected that a noble person in Beijing coveted the pharmacopoeia.

Finally, he told her to work hard to live and not let others plot against her...

The words contained fatherly love and earnest teachings, which made Song Jin's eyes red with sadness.

The happiest and most beautiful time in my previous life was when I was protected by my father. It's just that she was young and ignorant at that time, and she always complained that her father was too serious.

You don’t know how precious you are until you lose it, but you want to support your son but your mother is not there...

Just at this moment, soft footsteps came from outside the door.

Song Jin wiped away the tears on his face and hurriedly stuffed the letter and book into his arms.

The door was pushed open.

Song Xiu carefully brought a bowl of egg and brown sugar water in and said attentively: "Sister, are you hungry? The kitchen has boiled egg and brown sugar water and it's still hot. I'll bring you a bowl right away. You can fill your stomach first."

Song Jin was indeed a little hungry, so he ate the sugar water gracefully.

After a long while, Song Jin's face changed, and she secretly cried out, "Sister, you—"

Before the sentence was finished, the person lost consciousness.
