After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

After Liu Ji went to the latrine, the group returned to the inn.

Qin Yao ordered a few dishes and called Liu Li and Da Zhuang together. The two families were going to have dinner in the lobby of the inn.

At this point, most of the candidates had already come out and gathered together in twos and threes, drinking tea and discussing the test questions, comparing them, and estimating their approximate scores.

The entire lobby was as noisy as a vegetable market. Qin Yao frowned and asked the waiter to find a quieter place for herself.

Unfortunately, there was no room left in the lobby, but the waiter was very helpful in moving the food to the stone table in the backyard patio.

There is no one here, it is relatively quiet, but there are a lot of mosquitoes.

But it didn't matter. He smoked a pot of mugwort, and when Qin Yao started eating, Liu Ji, who was already extremely hungry, immediately buried his head in the rice.

In order not to affect the scientific examination, the candidates almost did not eat, so as not to go to the latrine and waste time. After enduring this for a day, Liu Ji felt that he could eat half a cow now.

Liu Li was also hungry, but he couldn't be as shameless as Liu Ji, but he picked up the food several times faster than usual.

For a moment, the dining table was filled with the sound of chewing. Qin Yao had no appetite at first, so she couldn't help but eat two more bowls of rice.

After the meal was almost finished, Liu Ji revealed why he had not left the examination room for so long.

"No one else is as lucky as me. I had written the test paper a long time ago. When I saw Qi Xianguan handing in the paper, someone came first, so I thought it would not be eye-catching if I followed him out."

He never expected that the damn book box would harm him!

The invigilator didn't know what was wrong, but he suddenly became interested in his book box.

He was about to put away his pen and get up to hand in the paper when the invigilator suddenly appeared in front of him. He was so frightened that he was stunned and did not dare to move, thinking that something had happened to him.

As a result, people were just curious about his bookcase and walked back and forth in front of him to observe.

The invigilator was right in front of him, and Liu Ji really didn't have the courage to hand in the paper.

So he picked up the pen again and continued to answer in a pretentious manner.

I thought I would be able to leave after waiting for the invigilator to leave, but something even more terrifying happened.

He had previously slandered Qi Xianguan as a child prodigy who could continue to write and answer questions even when being stared at by the invigilator. If it were him, he would go crazy.

Then he really goes crazy!

"The invigilator stared at me with his two dark eyes. Oh my God, how can I, Liu Jihe, be treated the same as a child prodigy? It's so embarrassing that I don't even dare to breathe, and my brain is going crazy. I thought about all the books I read and wrote everything I could."

I dare not stop writing at all!

"As soon as I stopped writing, his breathing became heavier. My heart tightened when I heard it. It was so scary. That was the gaze of a scholar. I am an ordinary scholar, how could I bear it!"

Looking back now, Liu Ji has to pat his chest with lingering fear.

Dalang poured a cup of tea for his father. Liu Ji smiled gratefully at his son, drank it in one gulp, and his excitement calmed down a little.

Erlang hadn't heard enough yet and asked curiously: "Dad, how come you can come out again? Is the invigilator gone?"

Liu Ji waved his hand, "No, no, it's your dad. I really can't hold back my pee, so I closed my eyes and handed in the paper first."

Strangely enough, the answer sheet he had written so hard looked like shit, but the invigilator actually looked at it with gusto. From time to time, he would raise the corners of his mouth and let out a chuckle of unknown meaning.

If possible, Liu Jizhen would like to ask: Can he report that the invigilator deliberately laughed to affect the candidates' scientific examination?

Qin Yao said jokingly: "I guess I take you for fun. Invigilating exams is boring. It's rare to find someone interesting to tease you."

The corner of Liu Ji's mouth twitched fiercely, and he started to scream, "Being able to be an adult is only because of my ability. Others don't have this ability!"

Liu Li raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and glanced at Liu Ji with admiration.

He had just changed his position and assumed that the person being stared at by the invigilator was himself, and he had already begun to suffocate. Fortunately, Liu Ji could hold on for so long. His temperament was indeed unparalleled.

"It's getting late. You are tired from taking the scientific examination today. Take a rest early." Qin Yao stood up and said to Liu Li with a smile.

Liu Li thanked Qin Yao for the reception tonight, and went back to the guest room to rest with Da Zhuang.

After the exam, I feel relaxed and can have a good sleep tonight.

Liu Ji returned to the room and was still telling the children about his battle of wits and courage with the invigilator today. Looking at the surprised expressions of the children, he felt that he was great and quite inflated.

But he forgot how embarrassed he looked when he was in a hurry to find the toilet when he left the examination room.

Qin Yao poured out the dirty water for washing, closed the door, placed the heavy wooden basin on the shelf in the corner, dried her hands, and came to the bedside.

Sanlang and Si Niang were sleeping on the bed with her, but now they were all circling Liu Ji on the floor.

After a rare moment of silence, Qin Yao took out the 500 taels of silver that had been exchanged this morning and counted them.

Fifty taels per piece, a total of ten large silver ingots, hugged in a cloth towel, it is actually not a big ball.

Jiang Wen gave her information about several timber merchants and took her to meet them tomorrow morning. If the negotiation was successful, the money would be used immediately.

Qin Yao took the silver ingot in her hand and played with it. The small one lay in her palm, looking very cute.

"Madam, please touch me."

The five father and son squatted in front of her at some point, looking expectantly at the silver ingot in her hand.

Qin Yao thought that the children could just recognize the money, so she quickly handed over the silver ingot, "Don't make any noise."

With her warning in advance, the five father and son who had never seen so much money shut their mouths in advance.

Qin Yao saw it funny, took out another banknote, spread it on the floor and taught the four Dalang brothers how to identify the banknotes and how to exchange them.

In the morning, she went to the bank alone to exchange money. The process had been walked through and explained in great detail.

Not only the four children didn't know this, but Liu Ji didn't know either. The five father and son listened with great interest.

"Okay, give me the money and go to bed. I have something to do tomorrow morning." Qin Yao stretched out her hand and motioned to several people to return the banknotes and silver ingots.

Sanlang and Siniang had already yawned again and again, and took the initiative to crawl onto the bed, lying on their own seats on the back, closing their eyes for less than three seconds, and fell asleep.

Liu Ji returned the money to Qin Yao and asked diligently: "Madam, the remaining few games are re-examinations. There is no need to go again. How about I go out with you and help you?"

Qin Yao refused, "No, you stay in the inn and teach the children their homework. Don't miss the ethnic studies course. If you have free time at noon, take the children to visit the Dragon King Temple and Slope Pond in the city."

As he said this, he remembered what was happening outside the city and asked: "If you want to leave the city, report to me first."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved a strong palm wind to extinguish the candle, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.

"sleep!"

Liu Ji felt the cold palm wind remaining on his cheek, swallowed secretly, and hurriedly responded: "Yes!"
