MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 544 A bunch of invitations

Chapter 544 A stack of invitations

“Huh? Madam, why do you have this scar on your calf?”

Qin Yao had to briefly tell him the story between herself and Wang Jin.

Of course, I didn’t mention anything about making five hundred taels.

But even without telling Liu Ji, she could guess that she must have received a lot of benefits. After all, no one knew her nature better than him.

 It’s just that with the evil woman’s methods, how could she still suffer such injuries?

 Liu Ji's subconscious reaction was, "Has that shameless man Wang Jin tricked you again?"

"Not this time." Qin Yao followed his strength and lifted her feet and put them on his knees. She waited for him to wipe away the water stains with a dry towel. She squinted her eyes and said, "This injury is to save that novice Wang Jin." ”

Liu Ji's eyes darkened and he asked tentatively: "Didn't he say that he was also a master?"

Qin Yao sneered: "Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. He has caused too much trouble."

"Madam, have you collected enough money?" Liu Ji was very worried, what if he lost money?

Qin Yao raised her eyelids slightly and glanced at him, "What do you think?"

Liu Ji chuckled, "I don't know, madam, you didn't say anything, so you must have given me enough money."

"It's just..." He touched the scar as long as half his finger while wiping his feet. "After all, my wife was so seriously injured that she still had such a long scar."

No matter how much trouble he caused her, he never left her with such scars.

Wang Jin, Wang Jin, when I arrive in the capital in the future, I won’t be able to kill you!

Liu Ji helped Qin Yao dry her feet and left with the foot washing water.

 From beginning to end, he lowered his eyebrows to prevent her from seeing the darkness and cruelty in his eyes.

Qin Yao lay down and fell into a deep sleep. Her soaked feet were warm all night long. When she woke up, it was already bright.

Awang has already sent his children to school, Yin Le has finished his water-carrying work and has gone to work in the stationery factory. Little Laifu takes the green ox to the river to feed water and eat grass. At home, only Li is grinding soybeans in the yard. A little movement.

I listened carefully and saw that there was no one in the backyard. I guess Liu Ji had gone to Lianyuan to find his teacher and brother to attend classes together.

It rained heavily last night, but unexpectedly it was a sunny day today.

Sunlight shines into the house through the window lattice, casting a little golden light on the newly laid original color wooden floor.

Qin Yao reached out and took a handful in the sunshine, her fingertips were warmed by the brush.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment, quiet and peaceful.

Qin Yao lay on the bed and lazed for a long time, carefully feeling this rare moment of peace.

Until she heard Liu Ji's footsteps coming in, she opened her eyes and saw that the sun was high in the sky. She was lazy until noon.

Awang also had the task of purchasing ingredients today and would not go home so early. At noon, there were only Qin Yao and his wife and Li's mother and son in the hall.

Qin Yao's peace was broken after lunch, when Song Yu came back with a handful of invitations.

“Madam, these are invitations sent to the master.”

Song Yu handed the posts to Qin Yao one by one for review. Qin Yao only looked at three of them and then stopped reading them. They were all posts about a banquet hosted by a wealthy businessman from Kaiyang County to Liu Juren.

 The following posts all have the same content, except that some of them are more direct and some are more tactful.

 In short, they don’t want to treat guests to dinner for no reason.

Qin Yao had never expected that the title of Juren would be so popular. Liu Ji had only been back for two days, and invitations from so many families had been sent to him.

The two most fascinating benefits of being a member of a prosperous country are that one can be exempted from taxes and corvee for oneself and his family.

 The second is judicial immunity. Once Juren is involved in a judicial case, he can not appear in court, not appear in court, not kneel down, and not be punished.

  It can be said that except for those who want to commit treason, the death penalty can be exempted in most cases.    In addition to these two, there is another hidden benefit.

That is the personal connections of a person.

Rich businessmen lack these three things. However, the number of candidates in a county is limited, so every year when a new candidate is born, he will be closely watched by wealthy businessmen.

 Wealthy businessmen own a large number of industries, and the taxes they need to pay every year are a huge expense.

 This is something Qin Yao knows deeply when she runs a stationery factory.

 So even if a large part of the commission is given to the emperor, it is much more cost-effective than paying court taxes.

 Most of Juren’s primitive accumulation also came from gifts from these wealthy businessmen. For both of them, this was a mutually beneficial thing.

Looking at the stack of invitations in her hand, Qin Yao was both excited and extremely calm.

 She has always abided by the rules and used people's money to eliminate disasters for others. At the same time, she also had to bear great risks.

 So to which company should I reply to this reply, and which one should I reply to, I have to investigate first.

Seeing that Qin Yao didn't reply for a long time, Song Yu boldly asked: "Madam, do you want to ask the master?"

Qin Yao nodded, "I have to tell him."

 Yeah, just say it.

 So at this time Liu Ji is studying with his teacher in Lianyuan, so don’t disturb him.

 Song Yu understood what his wife meant and didn't say any more.

 “Awang hasn’t come back yet?” Qin Yao stood up and looked out the door.

 Song Yu shook his head, "I didn't see Butler Awang come back."

"Okay, then you go and do your work first. Let Yin Le come home after work. I have something to tell her."

After giving instructions, Qin Yao picked up the stack of invitations and went back to the house to sort out the information.

She has been running a stationery factory for several years and has a general understanding of the wealthy businessmen in Kaiyang County. She first sorted out the ones she knew and those she didn't know.

 Twelve invitations, six of them were acquainted with each other, and six of them only heard their names but did not see their names.

When Yin Le came home, Qin Yao handed her the six posts she knew and asked her to inquire about them. After all, as a novice, you can't give others strength as soon as you come here.

"What are you asking about?" Yin Le was a little excited when he went on a mission for the first time, but more at a loss.

 But aren’t all experienced players gained from the confusion experienced in the novice stage?

Qin Yao patiently wrote a list and gave it to Yin Le, asking her to find the answers to the questions on the list.

 In addition, he took out another one tael of silver and handed it to her, "This is your activity fund. I will give you two days. Come and report to me early the day after tomorrow."

 “The work in the factory?”

Qin Yao said in a deep voice: "I will ask for leave for you, so don't worry."

“Okay!” Yin Le solemnly agreed. After checking the task list twice, he took an oil-paper umbrella and strode out.

She walked on the front foot, and Awang walked in on the back. Qin Yao handed Awang a list of twelve people without giving him a penny, "Go and help me inquire about the situation of these families. I will ask Liu Zhong to pick up the children in the afternoon." study."

Awang picked up the list, looked at it, put it down and gave it back to her. He went to the kitchen and cooked two bowls of the bean curd that Li had just made. He left a message: "I'll be back in the evening." Then he disappeared on horseback in Liujia Village.

　　 Li witnessed the whole process in the kitchen, and she finally realized that Madam has two sets of standards for people.

 No, it should be multiple sets.

　　It is one thing for young masters and young ladies, another thing for old people, another thing for outsiders, and another thing for eldest men.
