After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 109

Chapter 109 Meet Shopkeeper Fan Again

After checking in, Qin Yao took Liu Ji to the street to buy a lot of daily necessities and paper.

I brought pens, inks, paper and inkstones at home. There are commonly used papers. I bought more this time so that Liu Ji could record the county test questions from previous years. Qin Yao was going to use them to make mock papers of the real questions.

Liu Ji didn't understand what she wanted from these past scientific examination questions, but he didn't dare to resist, so he just did it.

"It would be better if you could know the answers of those who have gained fame. Remember to copy them all and bring them back to me every fifteenth holiday." Qin Yao warned.

Liu Ji frowned and said: "How can it be so easy? How could a scholar like me talk about this with a naked person like me?"

Qin Yao stopped, crossed her arms and asked, "How much more money do you want?"

There is a law in the Sheng Kingdom that stipulates that if the common people are killed by robbers on the road, they can bring the leader of the robber to the government to report the crime and receive a reward.

Qin Yao nodded, and the waiter brought her white flour steamed buns and a large bowl of mutton soup. He also gave her an extra plate of sour pickled cucumbers, which whetted her appetite.

"Huh? Are you still going to the ground?" Liu Ji suddenly came back to his senses and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Qin Yao is still looking for a place to stay overnight.

Given this, plus the five cents of silver I just bought for daily necessities and paper, as well as one year's tuition and accommodation fees, half of the money I earned from working on the waterwheel in June was spent.

By nature, I can't think too much and just want to enjoy myself in the moment.

Qin Yao sent Liu Ji, who was shocked by one tael of silver, to the gate of the academy, handed him all the daily necessities and paper he had bought, and told him: "The rice harvest will be in the middle of the year. You and Mu Xiu, please give me two more coins." It's a day off, come back after harvesting the rice with me.”

You can get one tael of silver for killing a thief, and you can get two taels of silver for killing a bandit. If you kill a group of bandits, in addition to the silver tael, you can also stay in the county government and work as a minor official.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yao actually took out one or two silver dimes from her pocket and threw it to him.

Forget about his past scientific examination questions, there is still half a month left, and he finally got some freedom from the evil woman's men. Let him relax for a few days first!

Liu Ji, who knows a few words, can mix in among his classmates and drink tea with them while admiring the moon.

This matter was not publicized specifically. Qin Yao asked curiously: "How did you know about it, Shopkeeper Fan?"

Qin Yao walked and walked to the restaurant.

“Next time I have a rest, I want to see what I want.”

Shopkeeper Fan smiled mysteriously, "On New Year's Eve, when someone came to report to the official, as soon as I heard that they were going to Liujia Village under Jinshi Town, I guessed that it must be your village. After that, the official went back and forth several times, saying that Liujia Village encountered horse bandits. It's okay. Someone in the village shot and killed the escaped horse bandit leader. Then I thought, no one else has such ability except you! "

“What?” Qin Yao didn't even know.

This kind of position, although there is no official position, but it is also an official salary. For ordinary people, it is already out of reach.

Now there are only fourteen taels left in total, of which 3 taels are still on the public account of the water mill.

Qin Yao didn't answer, but the meaning was already obvious. Do you think you don't have to go to the ground to study?

There were only two tables of guests in the hall, which was a little deserted, but this was the norm. After all, it was not every day that we received such rare items as the Blind Bear.

“Madam, please give me one tael of silver a month, that's almost enough.”

Qin Yao didn't expect Shopkeeper Fan to recognize her and tell her that he knew she had done something big at the beginning of the year.

Liu Ji asked in disbelief: "How do you know?"

"Where are you going, madam? It's getting dark, you can't go back today, can you?"

Shopkeeper Fan pulled out a stool and asked Qin Yao to sit down at an empty table in the corner. He first asked her what she wanted to eat, and then asked the waiter to bring it to her.

Liu Ji should have been very happy when he heard that she was leaving, but he was inexplicably uneasy, as if his confidence had suddenly been taken away. He took two steps forward and asked eagerly:

Qin Yao picked up the food and started eating. Shopkeeper Fan talked to her and said that she should come to the county to receive the reward.

As soon as he raised his eyes, the shopkeeper of the abacus in the hall also raised his head. The two of them looked at each other. The other party looked confused at first, then rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not dazzled, and walked out excitedly.

Qin Yao directly cut off his hope, "Every time during the busy farming season and autumn harvest, when students need to go home to help, the academy will grant an extra two days of leave."

Qin Yao looked up at the dusk on the horizon and waved her hand, "I have my own place to go. Don't worry about me. Just read your book."

Before he was admitted to the imperial examination, Liu Ji was still a mud-legged person who should go to the underground.

There is no curfew in the city, but during non-festival periods, people go home to eat and rest, and there are not many pedestrians on the street.

A cruel smile appeared on her lips, "If you can't get these things back, you'd better not go home and wander around the world, otherwise you will definitely die by my sword!"

“Am I right?” Shopkeeper Fan asked confidently.

Qin Yao glanced at him contemptuously, "I saw that you didn't listen to what the guard said when you just checked in. I'll go back and ask again myself. I'm leaving."

This has been a really long time, almost a year!

“But Mrs. Qin?” Shopkeeper Fan asked in disbelief.

Liu Ji had to stop, like an abandoned wild dog, and watched her go away until she disappeared. Then he carried a lot of things and entered the academy gate anxiously.

　　When he thought about the tasks that were pressing on his head, he had no intention of having fun. Half a month, half a month, why do we have to take a break in the academy every half a month instead of one month?

However, when he saw several roommates making fire, making tea and relaxing under the eaves, he immediately became energetic.

Seeing Qin Yao nodding, she smiled at him and called, "Shopkeeper Fan, long time no see."

When she mentioned the word "silver", the light in his eyes seemed to shine through. He immediately changed his positive look and counted with his fingers:

"You have to treat the scholars to some good wine and some good food. You have been to restaurants in this county. The cheapest table costs five or six coins. In addition to the daily personal relationships, you have to pay If you have some foresight, you have to pay for the book rental fee in advance and give someone a piece of meat."

"Madam, what if the master doesn't allow me to take a vacation?" Liu Ji had the last hope.

It can be seen that this study to test for fame is such a distant thing for ordinary people whose annual net income is only between 20 taels and 40 taels.

After he said this number, he was ready to be cut in half by her, or even directly cut to 10%.

He poured her a cup of tea himself, then sat down opposite her with a smile and said, "Did you kill the little leader of the horse bandits?"

It is said that the king of **** is very difficult to deal with. These petty officials often have to give in to the county magistrate.

After all, he is a running county magistrate and an iron-clad petty official. The county magistrate is changed every three years, but the officials in the yamen are always there.

Five updates tomorrow, please vote for me in the last two days!
