When Qin Yao and her daughter returned home, talking and laughing, they saw Liu Ji walking around the yard angrily.
Seeing the lady who was always attentive, not only did he not take the initiative to greet her this time, but he also looked at her and sighed deeply.
Qin Yao's good mood was instantly ruined by this sight. His face darkened and he asked in a deep voice: "Liu San'er, are you looking for death?"
Unexpectedly, the man sat directly on the threshold of the main hall and shouted to the sky: "I want to die! I really want to die! Let me die!"
As soon as these words came out, Siniang's heart skipped a beat. Is Dad tired of living?
Just as the little girl finished thinking this, she saw her mother-in-law picking up the broom by the door and rushing over in two big steps.
“Want to die? Okay! I'll make it happen for you!”
As soon as Qin Yao slapped the broom down, Liu Ji seemed to have just woken up, his eyes widened in horror, and he jumped up a second before the broom fell on him.
“Madam, I was wrong! I just said that casually, I didn't mean to die, oh—”
After all, the broom could not be avoided. Liu Ji cried out in pain and knelt down decisively, "Madam, spare your life!"
Qin Yao snorted coldly, then put away the broom and asked angrily: "Why are you so crazy?"
It was fine when I went out this morning, but now I feel like a **** after not seeing her for an hour, so I have to ask her to join in on a meal.
Liu Ji didn't know whether it was in pain or something. He covered his heart and sat down on the ground. Two lines of tears rolled down his face, and he choked with sobs:
“Madam, I feel so bitter, why is it so difficult for me to just live a good life!”
Qin Yao and her daughter looked at each other. Both mother and daughter were shocked. Could it be that someone had lowered their heads?
Awang settled the horse and came in through the back door. When he looked up, he saw his eldest father sitting on the ground crying, and asked in confusion: "Who died?"
"No one died, it was Master who was afraid to death." Yin Le got out of the firewood pile nearby, patted the sawdust on his hands, took out a crumpled paper ball from the pocket of his apron, and handed it to To my master.
Qin Yao took it suspiciously, "What is it?"
“The Imperial Prefecture is recruiting a servant to take care of Mr. Gong Liang.” Yin Le replied, while giving his master a sympathetic look, “Master, you will know after reading the contents.”
Anyone who knows her master well can tell at a glance that the content inside is aimed at him.
And the timing of this announcement was also coincidental. Just yesterday, Wu Sheng was sent to the Jingzhao Mansion Office, and the court was shaken.
It really made her master think too much.
Full of doubts, Qin Yao unfolded the crumpled paper, smoothed it, and looked down. There were many words written densely on it, which probably meant that he was prepared to find a suitable personal servant for Mr. Gongliang at a high price, and listed the relevant conditions. .
Five items in total.
1. The age must be between 26 and 28.
2. Appearance must be correct.
3. To be awarded the title of Juren or above.
4. Good at cooking, good at sweeping, hard-working and hard-working.
5. Have a good temper and never fight back when hit or scolded.
Those who meet the requirements can apply for recruitment at the National Preceptor's Office before the 15th of this month. The remuneration is negotiable.
Ah, Qin Yao looked at the heart-warming man sitting on the ground who was in infinite sadness and couldn't extricate himself, and then looked at the content of the recruitment notice in his hand. Except for the sentence about "hard work and hard work," he really hit the mark!
Qin Yao sighed in wonder, "How could you, Liu Ji, actually let a great national master set a trap for you?" Liu Ji straightened up immediately, "What? I'm not worthy!"
What Qin Yao gave him back was two sneers.
If his legs weren't so weak that he couldn't stand up, she would respect him as a man.
“But having said that, weren't you always thinking about fulfilling your filial piety to your husband? This is actually a good opportunity.”
“It's not bad to be able to see the husband you miss so much, and also to be able to earn a free salary to help our family support our family.”
Why did she suddenly feel a little excited?
Liu Ji instantly became vigilant and stopped sitting on the ground. He stood up with a shudder, stared at her nervously, and reminded weakly, "Madam, if I go to such an obvious trap, I will definitely die without a burial place."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if I die. I'm just sorry for the children in my family. They have lost their father before they grew up. From now on, they will be bullied by their classmates every day in school, and no one will give them any help. They came forward and said they were fatherless children."
He told himself that he was miserable. The tears that Liu Ji had just suppressed burst out again. He glanced at Qin Yao with red eyes.
"And madam, when you go home from now on, there won't be anyone to warm you up with soup or rice, or serve you in a nice manner, let alone someone to sew your clothes or give you a job."
Qin Yao couldn't stand it any longer and raised her hand to signal him to stop, "Stop acting, it makes my hands itch."
“Good lady!”
Liu Ji sniffed, raised his head and blinked his eyes, put away his tears, and smiled gently at her.
He raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, gesturing for her to sit down in the room.
Waiting for Qin Yao to drink water and seem to feel happy both physically and mentally, he carefully sat down next to her and said distressedly:
“Madam, it's not that I don't want to take care of the teacher, but this is a trap. We can't really fall for it, can we?”
"What we, it's you, what does it have to do with me? I'm not a civil servant." Qin Yao poured a glass of water for Siniang, "It's hot, drink more water."
Si Niang, who still wanted to quietly go to the back kitchen with Senior Sister Le to drink sweet soup, had to run back again and drank half a glass of water honestly.
Qin Yao was satisfied and waved her hand, "Let's play."
Liu Ji also poured himself a glass of water. To be honest, he went out happily early in the morning. He had just finished finishing his sons' school affairs and was about to go home and lie down comfortably for a while when he saw the Imperial Master's Mansion. The recruitment notice posted on the wall at the door of my home is really popular.
“How is Siniang going to school?” Liu Ji asked curiously.
Qin Yao: "I didn't see the dean today, but we also visited the environment of the Women's Academy together. Siniang likes this new academy very much. I will ask about the results at noon tomorrow. There should be no problem. There are no requirements for students there. high."
Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good."
“Where is the Imperial Prefect's Mansion?” Liu Ji asked anxiously, “Madam, do you think I can go?”
Qin Yao exclaimed, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Who caught her just now? She started crying as soon as she entered the door. Can a man change his face so quickly?
Liu Ji coughed twice in embarrassment, "Ahem, I'm still afraid of death, but when I think of being able to enter the Imperial Prefect's residence to serve the teacher in an upright manner, I don't seem so scared anymore."
“It's mainly because of the dignified National Preceptor's Office, so the remuneration given should not be low, right?”
Qin Yao was funny, "Did you decide to go because of the reward?"
"No, no, no!" Liu Ji waved his hand wildly, "It's still too dangerous. I don't know martial arts. Entering the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. You will die without a burial place, madam."
Qin Yao became impatient, "What on earth do you want to say? Can you please be more relaxed!" (End of Chapter)
