Chapter 767: It all depends on my wife's support
Liu Ji received a gift inexplicably.
When Ma Yang got up, the two of them continued walking forward.
Liu Ji couldn't help but be curious. He took a look at the patched bookcase **** Ma Yang's shoulder and asked tentatively:
"Brother Ma has also been elected, why are you still in such embarrassment?"
He won't talk about others, but he himself, under the lady's strict selection criteria, also selected three wealthy families.
If there were no conditions, there would only be a few civil servants in the county, and the wealthy people would have already crossed the threshold of the Ma Yang family.
So Liu Ji felt even more puzzled when he saw Ma Yang being so poor.
Ma Yang didn't hide it, anyway, sooner or later the other party would know about living together.
Moreover, the host and hostess of the house were kind enough to take him in, and he did not hide the reason for his benefactor.
So, he told Liu Ji that his ancestors had no savings and had a lot of debt from studying before, but now they had just paid off the debt.
Ma Yang looked at this three-level house that could be called magnificent in his home county, and sighed with envy in his eyes:
"It's rare to see a wealthy farmer like Mr. Liu."
Liu Ji raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it common?"
Ma Yang shook his head sincerely, "It's rare. It's even rare among people who are from farmers."
But the reason why it is rare is that it is rare for a farmer to reach the capital.
He comes from a poor family and has no connections. Even if he is born with talent, he may die on the way to Beijing to take the exam.
Liu Ji: "I'm sorry, I all rely on my wife's support."
Ma Yang was surprised, "Huh?" and thought to himself: I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be a freeloader?
Liu Ji had long been accustomed to this kind of look. He was not ashamed of it and was deeply proud of it.
He straightened his back and asked out of curiosity: "Is Brother Ma getting married?"
Ma Yang smiled bitterly, "I'm ashamed that my family is too poor to afford the betrothal gift, and I haven't gotten married yet."
Liu Ji glanced at him up and down and nodded, "That's right. Brother Ma has no money and looks. It's really difficult to get a wife."
Ma Yang: "." It hurts my heart!
"In short, being able to meet Mr. Liu and Mrs. Qin and being rescued by Mr. and Mrs. Qian must be a blessing that Qian has accumulated in his previous lives."
Ma Yang solemnly said: "If I am in high school in the future, I will never forget the kindness of my husband and wife in saving my life and taking him in!"
Liu Ji laughed awkwardly and thought to himself, let's wait until you don't run away after knowing the true identity of me and my senior brother.
When the guest room arrived, Yin Le had already arranged everything. The lights were on, the charcoal basin was burning, all the utensils were clean and tidy, and there was a fresh fragrance.
Ma Yang had long been exhausted from the journey, and as soon as he entered this warm and comfortable environment, he felt sleepy.
Liu Ji also yawned. Adhering to the principle of troublesome others but never himself, he pointed to the courtyard opposite and said:
"My little senior brother and Shitou live right across the street. If anything happens, just go find them."
After saying that, he asked Ma Yang to remember to get up early tomorrow and go to the kitchen to help Awang prepare breakfast for the whole family, and then Liu Ji left.
"Master Liu!" Ma Yang stopped him.
Liu Ji turned around impatiently, "What are you doing?"
Ma Yang was a little embarrassed and asked about the Yamen that Qin Yao had just mentioned.
Liu Ji shouted, thinking it was nothing, and gave Ma Yang a reassuring look.
"After breakfast tomorrow, I will take you to find my younger brother Lu Xiaofeng. Jingzhao Prefecture Yin is his uncle. I will definitely find your wallet!"
Ma Yang was extremely grateful, "Then I'll bother Mr. Liu and your younger brother Lu Xiaofeng, Mr. Lu!"
"Why are you so polite? Please call me Liu Ji from now on." The eldest master is the proper name for Awang, so he would be unhappy if an outsider calls him that. Liu Ji thought narcissistically.
Awang who was in the stable: Thank you, sir!
Since he could remember, Ma Yang had never slept for more than three hours.
In order to study as much as possible, he only slept for two and a half hours a day.
He doesn't need to do any work at home, he just needs to study.
In order to live up to his family's hard work, he devoted all his energy to studying.
Two and a half hours was the bottom line he set for himself.
Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes today, the sky was already bright. Ma Yang was so frightened that he sat up from the bed. The warm and clean quilt slipped from his body, and a stream of air that was not particularly cold hit his chest. Only then did he realize with hindsight that he had now arrived in the capital.
I am currently living in the guest room provided by my benefactor.
The brazier in the house is still warm, and the charcoal fire covered with ashes can burn all night.
There is a ventilation bucket on the bed, so that the air in the room can escape, but the cold wind from outside cannot blow in.
So you don't have to worry about being suffocated to death if you burn charcoal indoors at night.
Ma Yang stared at Feng Dou for a while, but he didn't know that this was the work of the mistress of the family.
I thought it was a good item only found in the capital city.
There was sound of sweeping in the room opposite, and Ma Yang quickly got dressed and got out of bed.
Opening the door, it was Young Master Qi's sturdy guard Shi Shitou who was cleaning the courtyard.
Qin Yao's family has no servants to serve them, so they have to do their own work in each house.
The stone is now available for cleaning, sewing and mending!
Ma Yang nodded and said hello to Shitou, then headed towards the kitchen.
He felt ashamed to live in such a nice house and just help with cooking.
Hearing that the four young masters and ladies in Mrs. Qin's family would be on vacation tomorrow, Ma Yang planned to prepare children's books before going to bed tonight and start making up their homework for them early the next morning.
In the kitchen, Awang had already lit a fire and was kneading dough.
Ma Yang came to help, but he was not good at these household chores, and was eventually sent by Awang to feed the horses in the backyard stable.
Fortunately, although I have never ridden a horse, all I need to do to feed the horse is grab ready-made fodder and throw it into the manger.
Ma Yang finished very well, and also cleaned up the horse manure and the like. Then he washed his hands and returned to the main hall to have breakfast with everyone.
The children have already gone to school first.
When I get tired of the food at home, I always like to buy breakfast at breakfast shops outside.
Qin Yao could save Awang some trouble by letting them go.
Qin Yao's family doesn't have any sense of superiority and inferiority. Even the master and servants of Qi Xianguan do as they please. The stones are now on the table and eaten together with everyone.
After a rather relaxing breakfast, everyone went about their business.
Qi Xianguan and Shitou went to the martial arts field to practice swordsmanship. They stopped studying this morning because Liu Ji wanted to take Ma Yang to the Yamen to find the money bag.
It's quite boring to have no students to teach.
Yesterday, Qin Yao said that he should be relaxed and relaxed, and Qi Xianguan listened.
He did push Liu Ji a little tight during this period, and it was just a good time for him to relax in these few days.
As for Qi Xianguan himself, he has an extraordinary memory and a photographic memory.
There is no book in the house that he has not read, and there is a huge reserve of knowledge. Chunwei does not need to worry at all.
In the past, in order not to think about the death of his teacher, the young man used to teach his juniors to learn this method to divert his attention.
The teacher has been away for more than a month now.
He must learn to accept reality.
Qin Yao looked at the young man's eyes that were mature beyond his years and sighed softly.
When the old man was still alive, he always hoped that this disciple could learn from Liu Ji's teaching of 'let yourself go and embarrass others'.
Xu Shi has already seen through that the smarter the person, the more he thinks and the more painful he is.
Qin Yao put on the white fox cloak given by her brother, passed by the martial arts training ground at the door, raised her hand to lift Qi Xianguan's trembling arm, smiled encouragingly, and went out in style.
Qi Xianguan wanted to cry but had no tears. The sword in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds of iron.
He was secretly lazy and lowered his hand slightly, but the stone didn't notice it at all.
It's better now. When Qin Yao mentioned it, Shitou's sharp eyes immediately glanced over. He didn't want to be lazy anymore!
