Chapter 685 Recruitment Announcement

Qin Yao and her mother returned home, talking and laughing, and saw Liu Ji walking around in the yard in a rage.

Seeing his wife, who was always attentive, this time he not only did not take the initiative to greet her, but also sighed deeply at her.

Qin Yao's good mood was instantly ruined by this look, her face darkened, and she asked in a deep voice: "Liu San'er, are you looking for death?"

Unexpectedly, the man sat directly on the threshold of the main hall and howled to the sky: "I want to die! I really want to die! Let me die!"

As soon as these words came out, Si Niang's heart skipped a beat. Is my father tired of living?

The little girl had just finished thinking this when she saw her mother pick up the broom by the door and rushed over in two big steps.

"Want to die? Okay! I'll help you!"

Qin Yao slapped the broom, and Liu Ji seemed to have just woken up, his eyes widened in horror, and a second before the broom fell on him, he jumped up with a whoosh.

"My dear, I was wrong! I just said that casually, I didn't really want to die, ah——"

The broom couldn't be avoided after all, Liu Ji cried out in pain and knelt down decisively, "My dear, spare me!"

Qin Yao snorted coldly, then put away the broom, and asked angrily: "What's wrong with you?"

She was fine when she went out this morning, but she's been so cheap after not seeing her for just an hour, and she has to make her have a meal.

Liu Ji didn't know if it was because of the pain or what, he covered his chest with his hand, sat down on the ground, two lines of tears rolled down, and choked:

"My dear, I feel so bitter, why is it so difficult for me to just live a good life!"

Qin Yao and her daughter looked at each other, both mother and daughter were very shocked, could it be that someone had cast a spell on her?

After Awang settled the horse and came in through the back door, he looked up and saw his master sitting on the ground crying. He asked in confusion, "Who died?"

"No one died. It was Master who was scared to death." Yin Le came out from the firewood pile nearby, patted the wood chips on his hands, took out a crumpled paper ball from the pocket of his apron, and handed it to his master.

Qin Yao took it suspiciously, "What is it?"

"The announcement of the National Master's Mansion to recruit servants to take care of Mr. Gongliang." Yin Le answered while looking at his master with sympathy, "Master, you will know after reading the content."

Anyone who knows her master can see at a glance that the content is aimed at him.

And the time when this announcement was released was also very coincidental. It was yesterday when Wusheng was sent to the Jingzhao government office and the court was shaken.

Her master really couldn't help but think too much.

Qin Yao was full of doubts. He unfolded the crumpled paper ball, smoothed it, and looked down. There were many words written on it. It probably meant that he was going to find a suitable personal servant for Mr. Gongliang at a high price, and listed the relevant conditions.

There were five in total.

1. Age must be between 26 and 28.

2. Appearance must be decent.

3. Juren and above.

4. Good at cooking, sweeping, and hardworking.

5. Good temper, not fighting back when beaten, not talking back when scolded.

Those who meet the above conditions can go to the National Master's Mansion to apply for recruitment before the 15th of this month, and the remuneration and treatment are negotiable.

Ah, Qin Yao looked at the man holding his heart who was sitting on the ground and couldn't extricate himself from infinite sadness, and then looked at the content of the recruitment notice in his hand. Except for the hard work, the rest really made him match!

Qin Yao exclaimed in surprise, "How capable are you, Liu Ji, that you let the great national teacher set a trap for you?"

Liu Ji straightened up immediately, "Why? Am I unworthy?"

Qin Yao sneered in response.

If his legs were not so weak that he could not stand up, she would respect him as a man.

"But then again, didn't you always say that you wanted to be filial to your master? This is actually a good opportunity."

"You can see the master you have been thinking about, and earn a salary for free to subsidize our family's household expenses. It's not bad."

Why did she suddenly feel moved?

Liu Ji instantly became alert and stopped sitting on the ground. He got up with a grunt and stared at her nervously, reminding her weakly, "My wife, this is such an obvious trap. If I go, I will definitely die without a burial place."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if I die, but it's a pity for the children of Si Niang at home. They haven't grown up yet and they have lost their father. They will be bullied by their classmates every day in school, and no one will stand up for them. They will say they are fatherless children."

I said it was miserable for myself. The tears that Liu Ji had just held back came out again. He glanced at Qin Yao with red eyes,

"And my wife, when you go home in the future, no one will give you hot soup and hot meals, and serve you in a nice voice, let alone someone will mend your clothes and help you pass the imperial examination to win an imperial decree."

Qin Yao couldn't stand it anymore, and raised her hand to signal him to stop, "Don't act, it makes me itchy."

"Okay, my wife!"

Liu Ji sniffed, raised his head and blinked, and the tears were wiped away. He smiled at her gently.

He raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that she should sit inside.

After Qin Yao drank the water and looked happy physically and mentally, he carefully sat down beside her and said distressedly:

"My wife, it's not that I don't want to take care of the teacher, but this is an obvious trap, we can't really fall for it, right?"

"What do you mean by us? It's you. What does it have to do with me? I'm not a juren." Qin Yao poured a glass of water for Si Niang, "It's hot, drink more water."

Si Niang, who was still thinking about secretly going to the kitchen with Senior Sister Le to drink sweet soup, had to run back again and honestly drank half a glass of water.

Qin Yao was satisfied and waved her hand, "Go play."

Liu Ji also poured himself a glass of water. To be honest, he went out happily early in the morning. Just after finishing his sons' school affairs and preparing to go home to lie down comfortably, he saw the recruitment notice posted on the wall at the door of the Imperial Master's Mansion, which really made him angry.

"How is Si Niang's enrollment?" Liu Ji asked curiously.

Qin Yao: "I didn't meet the dean today, but we also visited the environment of the Women's Academy together. Si Niang likes this new academy very much. I will ask about the results tomorrow at noon. There should be no problem. The requirements for students there are not high."

Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

"What about the Imperial Master's Mansion?" Liu Ji asked nervously: "Madam, do you think I can go?"

Qin Yao exclaimed, "Are you not afraid of death?"

Who caught her just now, and she cried as soon as she entered the door. Can men change their faces so quickly?

Liu Ji coughed awkwardly twice, "Ahem, I'm still afraid of death, but when I think about being able to openly enter the Imperial Master's Mansion to serve the teacher, I don't seem to be so scared anymore."

"The main thing is that the Imperial Master's Mansion should offer a high reward, right?"

Qin Yao laughed, "Did you decide to go for the reward?"

"No, no, no!" Liu Ji waved his hands wildly, "It's still too dangerous. I don't know martial arts. Entering the Imperial Master's Mansion is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. My wife, I will die without a burial place."

Qin Yao was impatient, "What do you want to say? Can you be more straightforward!" (End of this chapter)
