Chapter 766 Brother Ma, you are blessed
Qin Yao waved.
Liu Ji immediately retreated.
Qin Yao came to Ma Yang and said in a gentle tone:
"Actually, we are also from the village. It is not easy to be a scholar in the village. When we are away from home, we should help each other."
"If you have nowhere to go for the time being, I still have a quiet guest house at home, so Mr. Ma can feel free to stay."
Seeing Ma Yang's expression of shame, Qin Yao glanced at the four Dalang brothers and sisters in the hall, and added:
"If you feel embarrassed to have food and accommodation at my house, you can just help my four children with their homework in your free time."
The surprise came so suddenly, it took Ma Yang a long time to react, and he suppressed his excitement and asked:
"Is what Madam said true?"
Seeing Qin Yao nodding, Ma Yang, who was alone in a foreign land, was extremely grateful.
He bowed three times in a row and his eyes were red.
Qin Yao couldn't stand this kind of scene. She frowned and put the chopsticks into Ma Yang's hands, signaling him to eat quickly.
If you faint from hunger, you may not be able to wake up!
The dishes on the table were all cold but fragrant. Ma Yang was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. At this time, he couldn't care about so many people watching around him and started to eat.
While eating, he glanced at Qin Yao and his wife, and when they nodded to indicate that he was free, he swallowed secretly and stretched his chopsticks towards the plump braised pork.
The gravy has been stewed and is so soft in the mouth that it slides into the throat without any effort. It is so delicious that Ma Yang almost sheds tears.
But the emotion of being away from home came over me, and I couldn't suppress it for a while, so I choked while eating.
The five brothers and sisters of Dalang and Qi Xianguan looked on, all casting condemning glances at Liu Ji: You are really not a human being!
People are like this, and they still want to get a huge interest rate of 30%.
Liu Ji touched the tip of his nose awkwardly and quickly found a reason to send them away.
Qi Xianguan spoke to Ma Yang and left with the stone first.
The twins were also taken to the kitchen by their two brothers, and after washing themselves, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Yin Le thought that Ma Yang would stay at home temporarily, so he left to clean up the guest room for him.
It's cold in winter, so a charcoal fire needs to be lit at night, and the bedding needs to be replaced with thicker ones. Seeing that Ma Yang's hands are cracked by frostbite, there is some ointment at home, so prepare some for him.
Scholars have tight hands. If they cannot hold a pen, it may affect their scientific examinations.
By the way, she had to boil a large pot of water and ask him to wash it carefully so as not to dirty the bedding and sheets she had worked so hard to lay out.
Thinking this way, Yin Le went to the kitchen to boil water and put firewood in the stove hole, and then went to the guest room to clean up.
When I took the daily money box from the kitchen island, I put twenty taels of silver in it with a sense of accomplishment.
The weather was cold, so the shampoo shop's profits were actually good, and she and Liu Fei each got a lot of money.
Now, she can also bring money to her family.
Awang will definitely be surprised when he sees it when he gets the money tomorrow morning.
"Haha~" Yin Le couldn't help but laugh out loud just thinking about that scene.
It's a pity that she has to go to the store early tomorrow and won't have the chance to see Awang's surprise.
Everyone in the family was busy and dispersed.
Only Qin Yao and his wife, Awang, and Ma Yang were left in the main hall.
The table was full of vegetables and Ma Yang couldn't finish it by himself. Knowing that Awang was going to take it to the kitchen to cook noodles for everyone tomorrow, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The food of this family was excellent, and Ma Yang already felt that this was a wealthy family.
He heard people say that the rich people in the capital just eat and throw one bite at a time to feed their dogs.
Now it seems that food is so hard-won, and people who say this are really irresponsible.
Mrs. Qin and Mr. Liu's family are both wealthy and frugal. Liu Ji didn't know what Ma Yang was thinking. If he knew, he would take him to the back garden of the Imperial Master's Mansion, which is like a five-star scenic spot.
It was easier for men to talk to each other. After Qin Yao told Ma Yang to eat three meals a day with his family, he got up and prepared to go back to the room.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Liu Ji to ask his good brother Lu Xiaofeng to help him go to the Yamen to ask, and maybe he could recover Ma Yang's lost money.
After getting up to see Qin Yao off, Ma Yang immediately turned around and asked Liu Ji excitedly:
"Does Mr. Liu still know anyone from the Yamen?"
Liu Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "The people in the yamen are nothing. I have seen even the saints and empresses."
When the cowhide blows, I forget how much I weigh.
It's rare to meet someone who doesn't know anything about him. Liu Ji patted Ma Yang on the shoulder and said:
"Don't be too surprised. From now on, I will only have Brother Ma's connections in the capital. Rounding it off, the people I know are the people you know, right?"
Awang shook his head secretly, the elder was preparing to fool his younger brother again.
Ma Yang was flattered and said he didn't dare, but felt that Liu Ji was even more mysterious.
Awang shouted and asked the elder to come over and help clear away the dishes.
The rudeness made Ma Yang startled.
Mrs. Qin had just introduced everyone in the family to him. He knew that except for Mr. Qi's master and servants who were temporary guests, the rest were all members of Mrs. Qin's family.
Needless to say, Mr. Liu, four young masters and young ladies, and a girl named Yin Le are disciples of Mrs. Qin.
Only Awang, when Mrs. Qin introduced him, said: He is the housekeeper, and Awang is responsible for all matters in the family.
In Ma Yang's understanding, the housekeeper is a servant, and there is no way he can order around the master.
But what surprised Ma Yang even more was that Mr. Liu actually rolled up his sleeves and went over to help clean up the dishes.
Not to mention the strange personnel relations in this house, the master is busy cleaning up, so there is no reason for Ma Yang not to work.
He also quickly stepped forward to help.
The three men quickly cleared the dining table and came to the kitchen with bowls and basins.
Liu Ji didn't know how to wash dishes, but that didn't stop him from teaching Ma Yang how to do it.
Although Ma Yang is also a scholar from the village, because he studies, he does not have to do any work at home.
He couldn't even wash the dishes cleanly, but he succeeded in getting a look of disgust from Mr. Liu.
"Go, go!" Liu Ji waved to him to stand beside him, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the rag, and said while washing the dishes quickly:
"Keep an eye on it, sir, I'm very good at washing dishes. I won't teach anyone else if they want to learn it. Brother Ma, you're lucky today. I'll only teach you once. If you can't learn it, just follow Awang and cook!"
Awang turned his eyes, what? Is cooking an easier job than washing dishes?
Liu Ji groaned, unable to refute.
Anyway, Ma Yang has a good understanding and has learned how to wash a dish brightly, cleanly and save water.
The boiling water in the big pot happened to be boiling, and Liu Ji led Ma Yang, a 'country bumpkin', to take a bath in his bathroom.
They cleaned up the old dirt that had accumulated on the boat for several months, gave him a pair of Ngawang's thick old clothes, and took Ma Yang, who finally looked like a successful man, to the guest house.
The two of them walked and talked.
Ma Yang asked: "Master Liu's house is such a big one, why are there just these few people here and not some servants to serve him?"
Liu Jibai glanced at him and said, "We are very good at it. What can't we do by ourselves? We are not useless!"
Ma Yang thought, yes, what kind of servant would he need if he had such good hands and feet?
It's just a show for people to see.
Why should a true gentleman care about these false names?
Ma Yang understood, and he bowed deeply, "Master Liu's words today made me enlightened and enlightened!"
Liu Ji: "."
