MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 479 his silver
It is now late May, and there are still five or six days until June.
The next college examination will be held in Yingtianfu in early August.
It takes ten days to travel from Zijingfu to Yingtianfu.
It’s not too far. It’s just a boat trip by water, but life on the boat is a bit more difficult.
Qi Xianguan will continue to take the college examination this year. The Qi family has already prepared a boat and is waiting for the results of Liu Ji's government examination to be set off soon.
Liu Jika was the last one on the list of talents for the government examination. Although Gong Liangxiao felt a little embarrassed, he still won in the end.
The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and silently looked forward to what results his two disciples would achieve in the college examination.
However, Gong Liangliao didn't know that his two direct disciples, one ranked first in Grade A and the other ranked last in Grade C, had now become gossip among the people of the city.
But thinking about it on the other hand, this person who is the last to have studied seriously for only two years can pass the government examination ahead of countless candidates who have studied hard since childhood. This is not another kind of late bloomer.
Moreover, the standards for accepting disciples of great Confucians are inherently strict. If he has no merit, how can he become a disciple of the great Confucian?
How can he gain the approval of his senior brother, the young master of the Qi family, who is known as a child prodigy?
The wind has changed quietly. When people mention Liu Ji, the scholar who ranked last this year, they will unconsciously think of inspiring positive images such as a late bloomer and that it is never too late as long as you are willing to study.
In this regard, Song Yu, who secretly followed his wife's request and found people to spread public opinion everywhere, said that what you think is always what others want you to think.
As for the truth, who cares.
Since then, Liu Ji’s character of hardworking, poor and late bloomer has gone forever.
And because of the weird posture of the couple looking at the rankings on the day the rankings were released, Liu Ji became a little popular this May.
From an unknown person, he became a poor villager in Zijing Mansion who could impress many scholars.
In order to catch up with the college examination in Yingtianfu, Liu Ji had to rush back to his ancestral home as soon as possible to complete a series of related complicated documents.
It happened that Qin Yao was about to return, and Liu Ji called him wonderful.
The night before the couple returned home, the He family invited the couple to a banquet at their house. This was not only to congratulate Liu Ji on winning the prize, but also to practice it for the two of them.
A scholar who became a late bloomer and worked hard, no matter who his master or brother was, already had a certain investment value in the eyes of a family like the He family.
So the dinner was very sumptuous. The couple ate and drank well before returning to the inn late at night.
Liu Ji was really drunk. After living half his life, tonight was the most glorious moment of his life.
The prefects all toasted him. Looking at the entire Zijin Mansion, how many talented people can get such treatment? !
Staggered into the guest room, smelled the smell of his own bedding, fell into the soft quilt with a thump, and let out a "Jie Jie Jie" laugh.
Qin Yao glanced at Liu Ji, who was lying on the floor in a cocoon, speechlessly, her temples bulging.
Hold the door closed with your backhand, bypass the man in the chrysalis, and come to the washbasin to pour water in preparation for washing.
Unexpectedly, a dark shadow crawled to her feet and suddenly hugged her thigh.
Qin Yao lowered her head, her handsome face with messy hair and flushed eyes looked up at her, as if she was a little delirious.
“I am a scholar now, and you are a scholar’s wife. Hehehe, are you happy?”
He asked, without waiting for her to answer, he lowered his head, changed his voice, and said arrogantly: "Qin Yao! You have to take good care of your husband-in-law. You will be indispensable in the future, do you understand?"
Qin Yao's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Before she could get angry, the man suddenly took out a shiny silver ingot from the sole of his shoe like a treasure.
"Look!" He smashed the five-tael small silver ingot into her arms like an uncle, "I'm giving it to you! Take it! Don't tell me in the future, I only care about your little silver. Now I can do it too." He is a money earner." As he spoke, he suddenly let go of her thighs, squatted on the ground, covered his face and began to cry, as if he had been wronged a lot.
Qin Yao's mouth twitched, she seemed really drunk this time.
Liu Ji started crying and calling her mother, "Mom, you don't know, your son was bullied so badly. That evil woman beat people until it hurts, and she also likes to twist people's heads. I'm scared to death!"
Qin Yao slashed with a knife, and Liu Ji screamed in pain and fell to the ground unconscious.
The world is finally quiet.
Qin Yao weighed the small silver ingot that Uncle Liu rewarded her. These five taels of silver should be the travel expenses funded by the government and the local gentry for this class of scholars to participate in the college examination.
He was hidden by Liu Ji. If he hadn't been drunk and carried away, he probably wouldn't have said a word to her.
Qin Yao snorted coldly, put away the silver ingot first, lifted the ball of crickets and pupae on the ground, washed his face and feet, and turned on the lamp to sleep.
Early the next morning, Liu Ji sat up from his sleep with a start. He always felt that something was wrong, but his mind went blank and he couldn't remember what was wrong.
He touched all over his body, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. The precious silver ingot was missing!
When Qin Yao got up, someone was lying on the floor of the room, crawling around.
She shrugged without asking, got out of bed, washed up, packed her luggage, and then asked pretending to be impatient: "What are you looking for?"
Liu Ji forced a smile and said, "It's okay, just see if the floor of this inn is strong."
“Madam, have you packed up?”
Seeing Qin Yao nodding, Liu Ji endured the pain and gritted his teeth to give up, fearing that she would get angry after waiting for too long.
He quickly got up from the ground and said he wanted to go downstairs first to see how Soong Yu's carriage was being prepared.
As I went downstairs, I took the opportunity to look for it, but I couldn’t find a single hair.
Think about it, if it was really lost, others would have picked it up long ago.
Until he got on the carriage and looked at the fading city walls of the city, knowing that there was no hope of recovery, this man who had been strong all his life finally couldn't help but look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and shed heartbroken tears.
Woohoo, silver! His money!
In the carriage.
Qin Yao fiddled with the low-grade jade and satin rags in the box, not daring to raise her head at all, for fear that someone would notice the corner of her mouth that was about to burst from laughter.
Fulong Trading Company finally gave a clear explanation on the business of the Lady’s Box.
They want to do it, but they need to see the final product before signing a contract with the stationery factory.
Qin Yao readily agreed and took some jade and silk rags from Fulong Trading Company. She planned to ask Song Yu to form a small research and development team when she returned to produce the final product as soon as possible.
Outside the carriage, Liu Ji, who was surrounded by sadness, finally recovered. He covered his heart and spoke into the carriage, trying to divert his attention from the silver ingot.
For the sake of the silver ingot in his pocket, Qin Yao responded with a perfunctory "Uh-huh."
The two of them talked about Liu Ji mentioning that he wanted to go to the village to find the village chief to stamp the document. Qin Yao then remembered that there seemed to be one more thing that Liu Ji had not told Liu Ji about.
However, should we tell him at this time?
Qin Yao took out the small copper medal she had hidden in the slit of her belt and smiled mischievously.
Then let’s add a little shock to this sad man who lost his money!
