Chapter 693 Sanlang, You Have to Rely on Yourself
Liu Ji waved his hand and asked the driver of the Imperial Prefecture's Mansion to retreat.
With a few words, the curious neighbors who gathered around him were dismissed, and the door to their home was slammed shut.
He wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, forced out a bright smile, coughed twice, and then walked towards the dining room.
But before reaching the dining room, he couldn't pretend anymore. He smiled at Qin Yao and said excitedly:
"Madam, do you think I'm awesome? You don't know that Sikong Jian is so controlled by me now. If I ask him to go east, he won't dare to go west, if I ask him to go to heaven, he won't dare go to the ground!"
"All of this is thanks to you, my wife!" This sentence came completely from Liu Ji's heart.
If it weren't for my wife's strong martial arts skills, she wouldn't have been able to restrain that guy Sikong Jian.
"Dang Dang Dang!" Liu Ji came to the dining room, and all the four children who came to him pulled him aside, walked straight to Qin Yao, spread his palms, and revealed a money bag as if offering a treasure.
The four Dalang brothers and sisters who were pulled apart looked at each other, then looked at their father, who only saw his mother-in-law, and sighed helplessly.
Look at it like this, dad will never be able to escape from grandma's clutches in this life.
"What?" Qin Yaohu asked.
Liu Ji winked at her proudly, "It's a full one hundred taels of silver."
Liu Ji put the money bag into Qin Yao's hand and motioned expectantly for her to open it and take a look. He stared at her face carefully, not wanting to miss any surprise expression.
Qin Yao opened the purse, and there were two large silver ingots lying quietly inside, each fifty taels, a plump silver ingot, so unpleasant.
"How did you get so much silver?" Qin Yao took out the silver ingot to play with and glanced at Liu Ji in disbelief.
She roughly guessed where the money came from. Awang had already told her about Liu Ji's deeds in the Imperial Prefecture.
But seeing Liu Ji get back one hundred taels of silver, and listening to Awang's description, they were two completely different experiences.
When Liu Ji saw Qin Yao looking at him suspiciously, he rolled his eyes angrily and quickly explained that this was his monthly routine as a servant in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion.
"One hundred taels a month?" Qin Yao couldn't believe it, "The Imperial Master also agreed?"
Liu Ji nodded solemnly and immediately told Qin Yao all the conditions he had negotiated with the Imperial Master's Office.
After vomiting, he sat down at the dining table and shook his head proudly, "How do you think? Sir, am I interested?"
The little Imperial Master's Office can handle it directly!
Is Sikong Jian stupid? This is the common thought of the whole family.
Car pick-up and drop-off, VIP treatment, a follower at your disposal, and a monthly payment of one hundred taels per month.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe it!
Erlang was shocked. For the first time, he discovered that his father still had some real abilities. Adhering to the fine tradition of being studious, he moved to Liu Ji and asked sincerely:
"Dad, can you teach me this skill of yours?"
The elder man, Sanlang and the fourth mother also gathered around. The fourth mother served tea, Sanlang beat his legs, and the elder man squeezed his shoulders, intending to study together.
Dad's trick is very powerful. The White Wolf has used it to the extreme. If I can learn one or two tricks from Dad, I will never be afraid of starving to death in Kyoto in the future.
Liu Jim was delighted, enjoying the flattery of the children, and Shi Shiran said: "Actually, this is not really a skill, it's just borrowing from your grandma's reputation."
He was telling the truth, but the four children didn't believe it at all.
Siniang: "Dad, don't you want to teach us?"
Erlang was also annoyed. It was rare for him to lower his body and humbly ask for advice from someone he despised the most. He actually said that this was not a skill?
"Dad, if you don't want to teach me, just say so." Erlang waved his hand, indicating that the brothers and sisters had dispersed and not to serve this stingy person.
"Hey, hey, hey?" Liu Ji was shocked and raised his hand to try to persuade him to stay, but no one was able to stay.
Qin Yao said, "Eat first, otherwise the food will be cold."
He happily weighed the two silver ingots in his palms and prepared to put them into his pocket.
"Madam!" Liu Ji suddenly shouted urgently.
Qin Yao looked over displeased, and Liu Ji hesitated, but still mustered up the courage to stretch out four fingers and whispered:
"You are six and I am four, so."
Qin Yao clicked her tongue, but under Liu Ji's eyes, she evened out a piece of silver ingot and gave it to him.
"Find me ten liang."
Liu Jigang thought that his wife was being generous and wanted to give him an extra ten taels of silver, so when he heard the change, he curled his lips secretly and reluctantly collected ten taels of silver from his purse and handed it to her.
After getting sixty taels, Qin Yao smiled with satisfaction, put it in her bag, sat down and said: "Let's eat!"
Perhaps with the bonus of money, the family enjoyed this meal very comfortably.
After dinner, the sky has completely darkened.
According to the daily routine of the neighbors in Kuanzhengfang, I have washed myself and prepared to go to bed.
But Qin Yao's yard was still brightly lit.
Dalang Erlang Sanlang continued to write his unfinished homework on the Eight Immortals table.
They were admitted into the class and had missed many courses from others. Master Fan specially arranged book copying homework for the three of them so that they could become familiar with the courses they had not learned before.
Saburo wanted to cry. He didn't know how long it would take to copy the thousands of characters. He looked around with a sad face, checking the progress of his two brothers from time to time.
It turned out that the eldest brother and the second brother had already copied most of it, but I had not yet written a fifth. I was so excited that I couldn't hold back and cried "Wow".
Liu Ji, who was playing the piano randomly with his daughter, was startled by the sound.
The father and daughter looked up and saw Sanlang looking up at the sky, crying so hard that he broke down. He didn't forget to lower his head and write a stroke while crying. It was both pitiful and funny.
In the front yard, Qin Yao and Awang, who were practicing with Yin Le, heard the sound and looked over, and said twice.
Fortunately, it was not me who had to learn.
Yin Le, who was lifting the stone mill, looked at the big and small people in the yard and secretly complained that they were a group of unsympathetic guys!
Then he looked at Sanlang who was crying so hard and decided to let the child grow freely.
Cry if you want to, you will be fine after crying.
The whole family had a very good mentality. Si Niang saw that the little brother broke down and cried because of his study, so she handed him a glass of water and asked him to drink some water to moisten his throat, and then cry again, so as not to make his voice hoarse.
Dalang and Erlang also gave their sincere greetings to their younger brother.
Dalang: "You still have to write after crying."
Erlang: "I won't help you write a word, our handwriting is different, the teacher can see it."
So, Sanlang, you have to rely on yourself!
The two elder brothers patted Sanlang's shoulders heavily, hoping to give him strength and make him stronger.
With a muffled "thump", Sanlang fell to the ground. Because he was frightened, he forgot to cry.
This child has always been a little stupid. He looked around with tears in his eyes. Seeing Sister Le being hit by A Niang and Uncle A Wang, and looking at her funny appearance, he actually laughed.
Then he wiped his tears, got up again, ran to the kitchen to get a plate of small cookies baked by Yin Le, and continued to copy books while eating.
The night was beautiful, and the courtyard was also "warm" and "harmonious". (End of this chapter)
