When the three village chiefs saw the guards, they stopped at a distance.
Liu Dafu tentatively wanted to speak, but the four guards immediately put their hands on the hilts of their swords. Liu Dafu was so frightened that he retreated back to the two elders, exclaiming in his heart, these door gods are so scary!
Fortunately, Liu Ji found out in time and hurriedly ran out to explain, saying that the teacher did not like seeing outsiders and asked them to go back, thus avoiding a conflict.
If it was Liu Ji who said this about driving away guests, Liu Dafu would have sneered at him anyway.
But upon hearing this, it turned out that the noble man did not like to see outsiders, so he immediately withdrew.
Before leaving, Liu Dafu remembered Liu Ji's title of noble, his eyes widened instantly, and he looked Liu Ji up and down in disbelief, "San'er, are you a disciple of noble now?"
Liu Ji crossed his arms and raised his chin, "Hey, I just paid homage to my teacher and met my junior senior brother."
He glanced at Qi Xianguan again, who seemed to have unlimited energy, "It's been a tiring journey, senior brother, please sit down and rest for a while. After dinner, I will take the guard servants to the guest house to rest."
The coachman and most of the guards were standing outside the door, leaving only Shitou, two maids and two book boys waiting in front of Qi Xianguan and Gong Liangxiao. There were not many people, but with the four Dalang brothers and sisters, there were not many people at all. The large yard suddenly became cramped.
Seeing Liu Ji showing the impatient expression of a villain who has succeeded, he really turned around and left.
Over Gong Liangliao, someone took him to the backyard to solve the problem.
The four Dalang brothers and sisters stood on the porch, dumbfounded as their home became less like their own. Their hearts twitched and they felt an ominous premonition.
Liu Ji nodded seriously and replied firmly: "Senior brother, don't worry, there is a guest house. It is very big and can be accommodated."
Liu Ji looked at Qi Xianguan's mature arrangements and raised his eyebrows, finally feeling the difference between a child prodigy and an ordinary child. The guards such as Shitou are also very professional. With just one command from the master, they can complete everything that the remaining master has not given.
Even Si Niang knows that the first thing to do when bringing a guest in is to tell the guest the arrangements of the host's family.
But compared to those farms on the outskirts of Beijing, forget it, it's okay to have a guest house to live in!
He apologized hurriedly: "I have made teacher and senior brother feel wronged, but my wife has made arrangements for accommodation, so teacher and senior brother don't have to worry."
Fortunately, Liu Ji's house was much better than he expected. At least it was clean, and the yard was neatly tidied. There were also a few romantic bouquets of flowers planted in front of and behind the house.
The old man looked at him. He still had broken legs, but his ears were still good. Then he heard Liu Dafu call San'er, and he immediately called the new disciple a title.
Gong Liangliao knew that there would be no good conditions in the countryside, so he was in a good mood. He had a low table at hand, with a plate of moon cakes and a pot of hot tea on the table. He took a few sips of the tea to suppress the alcohol.
Because of these words, Liu Dafu suddenly felt that his shaky expression became more handsome. He hurriedly congratulated twice and asked Liu Li to come to him for advice in the future.
Gong Liangxiao's call came from the courtyard: “Liu San'er!”
Afraid that the old man might be in a hurry, he knelt down and leaned into his ear and asked softly.
At this moment, realizing the teacher's intention, Qi Xianguan immediately ordered Shitou to have someone unload the things on the horse, and first set up a tent in the backyard for the teacher to temporarily use as a hut.
When people leave, they may not come back.
He briefly scanned the houses in this small mountain village. At present, this small farmhouse can be regarded as the cleanest and neatest in Liu's village.
That's Liu Ji. If someone else asks such a question in such a posture, there will definitely be no good fruit.
The teacher's toiletries were also prepared, and someone went to the kitchen to meet with the servant named Awang so that the teacher's dietary taste could be taken care of.
On the way here, I passed several farmhouses. The doorways were covered with yellow mud and all kinds of filth. I regretted bringing the teacher here to see Liu Ji.
Having drunk too much on the way, Gong Liangxiao felt a little bit better. He hummed and looked around again. This yard didn't look like it would be convenient.
At this time, Qi Xianguan, who had already inspected the entire Qin Yao family under the leadership of the Dalang brothers and sisters, returned.
It's still daylight now, so if Immortal Qi is dissatisfied, he has time to run back to the city.
Liu Ji ran over and saw that the old man was okay, so he smiled helplessly, "Teacher, what's the matter with calling San'er?"
“Teacher, I've seen this. Liu Ji's family is too small. How about we go into the city and find an inn to rest after dinner?”
“Isn't Aniang back yet?” Dalang looked at Awang who was standing two meters away and asked in a low voice.
But now that he has arrived, it is useless to argue with him about these things at this time. It will only add to the troubles.
As soon as the young boy looked at the empty rooms in the front and back of the house, he knew that Qin Yao's family had no space to receive them. In addition, the teacher was physically inconvenienced. He glanced at Liu Ji angrily - he dared to take on the porcelain work without diamonds!
"Is there a guest house?" Qi Xianguan stared at Liu Ji with suspicion. He didn't notice that Liu Ji was leading the **** servants to the guest house. He subconsciously thought that a farmhouse was arranged for himself, the teacher and others.
Liu Ji followed Gong Liangxiao back from going to the toilet. He passed by the four brothers and his sister, and he could tell what they were thinking by taking a glance at their expressions.
Liu Ji's heart tightened. It seemed that he had to inform the master of the arrangements first.
The book boy and the maidservant knelt beside him, waiting for orders at any time.
Regarding this, Liu Ji cursed in his heart: Do you think I forgot to say it? I dare not say it!
An old house, an old house, you can tell how old it is by listening to it. Qin Yao hasn't come back yet, so he doesn't dare to take people there casually.
Soon, the wooden boxes were unloaded from the horses by the guards. A tent was quickly set up in the backyard, and toilet supplies were placed. The maid also sprinkled lemongrass to mask the smell.
Gong Liangliao was sitting on his special stool. Because there was no place to put it in the hall, he had to ask the old man to stay in the courtyard.
The four brothers and sister immediately took a deep breath nervously. They were now very worried that if A Niang came home and saw the wooden boxes all over the yard, she would not be able to help but take out A Daddy, who only cares about flattering the scholar, and beat him up.
Qi Xianguan walked around the back hill of Qin Yao's house again. He was not as delicate as everyone thought. He came back with mud on the soles of his shoes. He shook his head at Gong Liangxiao and said:
Liu Ji responded with "Hey!" and hurried back to the courtyard.
Liu Dafu turned around three times with one step. His eyes were full of disbelief, and he thought in his heart how could this person's life be so different from his own.
Awang's ears twitched slightly, and he looked expressionlessly at his beloved kitchen occupied by two maids, and replied: "Soon."
Fortunately, it's the time of autumn and the weather is crisp, so I'm not too lazy.
Seeing that there was no flaw in his face, Qi Xianguan nodded lightly, "Let's wait until dinner."
Liu Ji smiled and summoned the twins and asked them to go out to call their mother back for dinner.
Si Niang understood and asked them to inquire about the transformation process first. She nodded in agreement and ran towards the southwest.
