Chapter 681 Crucian Carp

The couple was chatting when Yin Le and Si Niang came back from shopping.

"Mother! We bought a big crucian carp. We'll ask Dad to kill it for us tonight!"

Liu Ji stopped talking excitedly and turned to look outside the Moon Gate.

Si Niang rushed in with two beautiful braids. Seeing that Dad was still there, her eyes lit up with surprise and she immediately opened her hands: "Dad, I'll make crucian carp tofu tonight!"

Liu Ji reached out to catch his filial daughter and scratched her messy bangs. "Where did you go to buy vegetables? Why did you take so long to come back?"

Yin Le then came in with a full basket of vegetables. "I went to the vegetable market in the East Market. There was everything there, fresh fish and shrimp, all just caught from the dock, and cheaper than the county."

Si Niang didn't get any vegetables from Dad. Dad replied, stretched out her hand and pulled her father's hair, "Make crucian carp tofu soup!"

Liu Ji was so painful that he hissed, raised his hand and pretended to hit her, but he couldn't bear it, so he gently pinched his daughter's face, "Do it, do it, do it, your hand is too strong, it hurts your father to death."

Si Niang smiled, seeing that her father was in pain, she came forward and blew on him twice apologetically, "It won't hurt if you blow it, right?"

What else could Liu Ji say, his heart was melted by her blowing, so he let go of the little girl and told her to go over to eat loquats, and he looked at the fish he bought.

Two crucian carps weighing more than one pound were placed in the basket and wrapped in large banana leaves. They were about to die. Liu Ji shook his head and quickly put the two fish into the water tank.

Si Niang grabbed the loquats, eating until her cheeks were puffed, and went to the water tank to look. She saw the two fish floating on the water with their bellies facing up as if they were dead. Suddenly, they turned over and were alive again, and excitedly exclaimed "Woo!".

This way, they can be kept until the evening and killed, so they are the freshest!

"Mother, my brothers have all gone to school. When can I go to school?" Si Niang climbed onto a high stool and passed the peeled loquat to Qin Yao's mouth.

The child's hands were dull, and the skin was peeled with pits and bumps. Seeing her daughter working hard to crack the loquat for a long time, Qin Yao took it and stuffed it into the mouth of Liu Ji who was passing by.

"My wife!" Liu Ji was so excited that he was a little flattered!

Qin Yao: "Eat it if I give it to you."

Si Niang saw that her father jumped up when he walked, and tilted his head. Her father liked to eat loquats.

Then she peeled another one for her father to eat.

It was just strange that this time, the loquats she handed over, although my father liked them, didn't seem as happy as before.

The little girl was puzzled, didn't understand, and didn't think about it anymore, so she peeled them for herself.

She continued to ask my mother when she would go to school.

"In two days." Qin Yao answered.

With the correct answer, Si Niang was satisfied, "I'll go see what Uncle Awang is doing."

Qin Yao smiled and nodded, "Go."

After watching the child go to the backyard, Qin Yao waved to Liu Ji, who was running around, "What are you doing walking around? Do you understand the enrollment rules of the Women's Academy?"

Liu Ji's mind was obviously not at home. He stretched his neck out even when he sat down, as if he heard the sound of the carriage moving, and stood up, "It seems that Censor Qi is back!"

Qin Yao understood instantly that he was waiting to eat melons.

But Censor Qi might not be a good target for eating melons.

Qin Yao pulled him back and glanced at him coldly. Liu Ji barely suppressed his fluttering heart and answered: "I'm just asking about it."

He glanced at her and said, "Madam, I'm not saying that you haven't been out since you came to Kyoto. Why don't you go and ask about it?"

"What do you want to do?" Qin Yao asked unhappily.

Liu Ji felt a little depressed, but he really had a reason this time. He pointed outside: "Qi Yushi is really back. I heard his housekeeper scolding people. Madam, don't you want to know the follow-up of Wusheng?"

Although he couldn't enter the court, he had imagined the lively scene in the hall this morning that was comparable to a vegetable market.

Qin Yao's heart moved, "You go out and take a look."

"What about the female academy?" Liu Ji smiled embarrassedly and looked at her expectantly.

Seeing her nod, he turned around and ran towards the gate.

"Everyone is here! What's going on? What are you talking about?"

As soon as he arrived at the door, Liu Ji found that the neighbors were all gathered at the door of Qi's house, whispering together, and joined in skillfully.

As expected, they were talking about the martial artist, but Censor Qi was more tight-lipped than a turtle shell, and no important information could be pried out.

This won't do. If he can't get the first-hand melon, how can he, Liu Saner, get along in the village in the future!

While everyone was complaining and not paying attention, Liu Ji got out of the crowd, turned his eyes, and went straight to Jingzhao Yin.

If you want to ask where to find this first-hand melon?

Then you must mention his sworn brother Lu Xiaofeng!

Jingzhao Yin's surname is Lu, and that kid must know the inside story.

Qin Yao watched Liu Ji go out, and then he disappeared.

In the evening, Awang picked up the three brothers Dalang from the private school. They were all preparing to cook dinner, but they hadn't come back yet.

Si Niang looked at the two crucian carps jumping around in the water tank and stamped her feet in anger. Her father had promised to make crucian carp and tofu soup for her in the evening, but he had disappeared.

In the end, Qin Yao killed the fish herself, and only then did she appease her daughter.

However, seeing Qin Yao's aura when she killed the fish, the four brothers and sisters silently worried for their father.

While killing the fish, Qin Yao thought to herself that Liu Ji had better bring the first-hand melon, otherwise she would make him look bad tonight!

Otherwise, Liu Ji would be a good person.

The food was ready and served on the table, and the person who disappeared for an afternoon came back.

As soon as he entered the house, Liu Ji noticed that the atmosphere at home was not right.

But!

He was not panicked!

Not only was he not panicked, he was even a little proud. He washed his hands and went directly to the table to serve the bowl.

Everyone in the family looked at each other, oh, so arrogant~

Don't blame Liu Ji for being arrogant, he dared to guarantee that no one in the whole market knew more than him.

"Awang's cooking skills are getting better, this crucian carp soup is so delicious!" Liu Ji praised.

"."

In response to him, the silent gaze of the family of seven.

Liu Ji was not in a hurry. He ate two more chopsticks of food to fill his almost starving stomach, and then put down his chopsticks to start his performance.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat, stood up, and was about to show his posture.

Qin Yao shouted: "If you keep teasing me, I will chop you up and feed you to the fish!"

Liu Ji sat back in his original position, speaking very quickly but clearly, "Two memorials, one slap, and King Feng is finished. Let me tell you the details."

He took a bite of the tail of a crucian carp with relish, "These two memorials, one is the memorial of Qi Yushi impeaching the East Palace, and the other is the confession of a martial artist copied by the Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen. This morning, as soon as His Majesty came to court, the two memorials were thrown at the feet of the prince."

When the content of the memorial came out, the whole court was shocked.

The state teacher who had just come out of seclusion to pray for the country could not hold it anymore. He reported him on the memorial and knelt down first to show respect. (End of this chapter)
