The sound of jade clashing lasted all night and stopped at midnight.
Qin Feng and Liu Ji were still in high spirits as they touched their bulging money bags.
Yin Le touched the empty money bag, his sallow face no longer showing any expression.
Awang frowned and looked at his empty money bag, puzzled.
But the roosters raised by the old lady Qiu's family next door were all croaking "Oooh".
No longer able to figure out why his wallet was empty, Awang had to put his thoughts aside for the time being.
Get up and go to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone.
After staying up all night, everyone was exhausted.
After breakfast, everyone went back to their rooms to catch up on their sleep.
The courtyard was completely quiet.
I spent the first day of the new year in my sleep.
Starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, the streets became lively.
Different from the tranquility in the countryside, the city of Kyoto is full of people after the first day of the new year.
Wealthy families take advantage of the festival to invite opera troupes and performers to create a lively New Year atmosphere.
From the third day to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the governments of various countries spend a lot of money to invite the people to watch the fireworks every night.
The area in the East City, along the river, is colorful and dreamlike at night.
This kind of noise lasts until the first month of the year.
After the fifteenth day, the enthusiasm for the New Year in the city faded away.
As soon as the weather got warmer, Qin Feng was ready to go back to Wangcheng.
At this time, Qin Yao and Liu Ji were looking for a new private school in the city with their three boys.
I won't go to the Fan family.
The kids didn't like it.
Even Erlang expressed his opinion after the year. He felt that Mr. Fan was good at teaching, but he was not good at educating people.
In order not to cause trouble to his parents, Erlang is planning to educate himself at home.
Of course Qin Yao can't do this. Children should spend their happy youth in school with their classmates.
Whether the study is good or not is not the focus, the focus is the child's mental health.
After the fifteenth day, Qi Xianguan came to Qin Yao's house during the day.
While supervising Liu Ji, he was hiding here quietly.
The Qi family is a big family with a huge population. After New Year's Eve, the relatives and officials who come and go are like locusts, sending off one after another every day.
There are only a few members of Qin Yao's family, and they don't have many relatives in the capital to leave. It is a rare and clean place.
When Qi Xianguan arrived here, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Occasionally, I would study late at night with Liu Ji, so I just stayed here.
Ma Yang was also busy preparing for spring, and the matter of instructing the children's homework was put on hold.
After all, it was a matter of fate, and Qin Yao was embarrassed to let her continue to guide her children.
Therefore, as soon as the eighth day of the lunar month passed, he and Liu Ji took the children to find an academy in the city.
When Qin Feng said he was leaving, Qin Yao suddenly felt bad.
Liu Ji was also shocked and hurriedly asked with concern: "But we are busy looking for private schools for the three Dalang brothers, and we have neglected my uncle and made him angry?"
Qin Feng hurriedly waved his hands, "The house is bustling every day, and I feel very relaxed there. How can I be angry?"
"It's just that after the 15th, business in various places has to be prepared. I have been away from Wangcheng for so long. If I don't go back and keep an eye on it, there are only a few stewards there. I won't be at ease after all."
After saying that, seeing Qin Yao's unhappy face, Qin Feng joked again:
"Anyway, brother-in-law, Young Master Qi is here to keep an eye on me. How about, sister, come home with me and take a look?"
Qin Yao wanted to respond well. But when he looked down, Sanlang and Siniang suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes and looked at him helplessly and pitifully.
Even if you want to leave, you can't leave so suddenly.
"Hey, let's wait until I'm ready." Qin Yao sighed softly and asked Qin Feng: "When will brother leave?"
Knowing that his sister could not go with him this time, Qin Feng felt a little regretful.
But the twins looked at him with their little eyes and couldn't bear it, so they had no choice but to suppress the regret in their hearts and replied:
"The day after tomorrow, prepare tomorrow and leave the city early the morning after tomorrow."
Liu Ji asked in surprise: "Brother, won't you take the boat this time?"
Qin Feng shook his head, "If you don't want to sit down, I will go back to Wangcheng this time."
There is no need to do business now, just worry about the salt mine.
Qin Yao took a deep breath, cleared up the slight reluctance in her heart, and followed Qin Feng back to the room to help clean up.
Of course, Qin Feng would not let her work. The main thing was to be a companion.
The two brothers and sisters dealt with each other one by one.
Suddenly, there were two hesitant knocks on the door.
The weather has been fine in recent days, and the door to the house has not been closed.
The two brothers and sisters in the room turned to look at the door and saw Dalang standing outside the door with a hesitant look on his face.
Seeing his mother and uncle looking over, the young man took a deep breath, as if he was about to do something big, clenched his hands into fists, and mustered up the courage to step through the door.
"Da Lang?" Qin Yao was a little confused.
"Auntie, uncle." Dalang first greeted the elders. Qin Feng motioned for him to sit down, and then the young man sat down at the table.
Dalang looked at Qin Yao, paused for a moment, and under her encouraging gaze, he spoke like a brave man:
"Aniang, I don't want to go to school anymore."
Qin Yao was a little surprised. The young man did not show any signs of not wanting to go to school.
In the past few days, she and Liu Ji took their children to look for private schools, and Da Lang looked forward to it.
According to Sheng Guo's calculation, Dalang will be thirteen years old after the New Year.
Children of this era are all precocious, like Qi Xianguan, and his family is already preparing to discuss marriage for him.
Therefore, Qin Yao felt that Dalang could no longer be treated as a child.
She didn't blame her, but asked with concern: "What do you think?"
The gentle words of concern made Dalang's clenched fists loosen a little. He thought he would be scolded.
But suddenly it occurred to me that Aniang had never scolded them.
She has always been more open-minded than the other mothers and respects her children's opinions more.
Therefore, Dalang revealed the true thoughts hidden in his heart.
"Auntie, I don't have Erlang's talent for reading. The things I have learned in the school in the past few years are enough for me. If I go to the school again, I will only find the things taught by Master to be obscure and boring."
"I don't know what day it was, but I suddenly thought, maybe I should go out and see things, and I can't live in such distress and confusion."
"This time my uncle said he was leaving, and I want to go with him."
Having said this, Dalang looked at Qin Feng who was a little surprised and said:
"Uncle, I have learned how to ride a horse, and I also have martial arts skills. Although I am not as powerful as A Niang and others, if I encounter trouble, I can protect myself, and uncle does not have to worry about me."
Qin Feng didn't dislike many people, but after all, he was a child of the Liu family, and he had to ask his biological father.
Qin Feng looked at Qin Yao, "If you and your brother-in-law agree, it's okay for me to take Dalang to Wangcheng."
But obviously, looking at Dalang's uneasy look, his biological father probably still doesn't know that his biological son plans to 'wander the world' with his uncle.
But Dalang felt that as long as A Niang, the head of the family, agreed, it didn't matter what happened to his biological father.
The worst he could do was get a beating.
Then
Dalang was chased and beaten all over the yard by his own father. (End of chapter)
