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

Liu Feiwo was so worried that he hurriedly opened the package on the carriage and gave her a few boxes of cheap rouge he bought from Fucheng to choose from.

"Hehe~" The young man scratched his head in embarrassment, fearing that Qin Yao might misunderstand him, so he explained:

"When I went to Fucheng this time, it happened that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Rouge Shop brought a batch of old products for sale at a low price. I thought that my mother had never used rouge in her life, so I asked the ladies from Rouge Shop to help me choose a box. Honor my mother."

Then he bought a box, and suddenly remembered that there were three sisters-in-law at home. In order to avoid unnecessary family conflicts, he went back and gritted his teeth and bought three boxes. He thought that by then, all the sisters-in-law would have a share, and no one would care about them. Damn it.

They were all separated. Qin Yao didn't expect that she would still have a share, and she hadn't seen the cosmetics here before. She thanked them, expressed that she was very happy, and chose one out of curiosity.

A wooden black box, oval in shape, larger than she expected, unable to hold it with one hand.

Before I opened it, I smelled a faint aroma. When I opened the box, there was a layer of oil paper lining, followed by a large piece of pink cream rouge.

Liu Fei said: "Sister Rouge Fang said that this color makes you look younger. It can be used to paint the face and mouth. Oh, it can also be used to put beauty moles on the eyebrows and draw those flowers."

"By the way, they said you should put a layer of white lead powder on your face before applying this. Unfortunately, the powder was too expensive, so I bought this first."

Moreover, this one is colored and can be used in many places, which is more cost-effective than lead powder that can only be applied to the face.

Qin Yao carefully covered the box and said with a smile: "It's very good. It's better for novices to use less large-area colors. The ones I recommended to you are very good and I won't cheat you."

"And I think this amount can last me into a coffin." Qin Yao laughed. Liu Fei didn't know whether it was a compliment or a derogation, but he just laughed along with it.

Qin Yao followed the convoy on horseback. The advantage of widening the road was now apparent. They would not hinder the other party even if they were traveling in parallel.

Liu Bai said: "Let's make one more delivery to complete this order. When I returned, I asked the manager of Fulong Commercial Bank. The shopkeeper said that I would ask my sister-in-law to settle the balance in person and refused to give us the balance."

Qin Yao had expected it and came down, "You will leave as usual the day after tomorrow. I will be two days behind you. We will meet in Fucheng then."

She had to stay in the factory and wait for Bai Shan's stationery gift box order to be processed before she could leave.

"By the way, there is good news just now. The pencil box is now in market. It is the shopkeeper Bai Shanbai who worked with us before. From now on, the pencil box will be renamed to the pencil gift box. Please note it."

Everyone in the convoy nodded and took note of it.

While on the road, the two sides finished chatting about their respective situations, so that they wouldn't have to report when they got back, and Liu Bai could rest all day tomorrow.

Qin Yao also told the two brothers about the arrival of distinguished guests.

After all, they had traveled far and visited the capital. Liu Bai and Liu Fei's horizons widened and they were shocked to learn that Liu Ji had become a disciple of the great Confucian scholar.

"I heard from people in Fucheng that if a great scholar and many adults in the court recommend you at the same time, you can become an official without taking the imperial examination." Liu Bai looked at Qin Yao, "Is it true?"

Qin Yao nodded, "It's true."

Before the two brothers could show their ecstatic expressions, they immediately said, "But! The premise is that the person being recommended has real ability, and there is also a difference between a great Confucian and a great Confucian."

She did not deny that Gong Liangxiao still had some influence in the court.

But now that Gong Liang has come to the Qi family as a guest, it looks like the Qi family has spent a lot of effort to invite him. In fact, he is using the power of the Qi family to seek a peaceful old age.

It is not difficult to discover this at all, as long as there is no one of his own in front of Gong Liangxiao who can glimpse the truth behind it.

Now all he has left is his reputation as a great scholar and his abilities. Being a teacher, teaching and educating people, is the safest and most suitable thing.

These were the information that Awang added to her later after conducting a secret investigation.

Thinking of Awang, Qin Yao almost cried with joy, he really did! I really want to stay in farming!

Qin Yao did not tell the Liu Bai brothers this information. She only said that Gong Liangliao had retired and had little influence in the court, and could not directly recommend Liu Ji as an official.

But even so, being able to study under the great Confucian disciples and learn real skills still made the Liu Bai brothers envious for a long time.

"I believe in fate now." Liu Fei looked to the sky sadly, wondering if he would be as lucky as his third brother in the future.

"Do you want to go to school?" Qin Yao suddenly asked.

Liu Fei pointed at himself, not sure what his third sister-in-law was talking about. When she nodded, she smiled awkwardly, "I'm sixteen, can I still go to school?"

Qin Yao smiled and remained silent.

Liu Fei instantly thought of his third brother, who was in his twenties and entered the academy at the same time as a ten-year-old boy.

And since he is only sixteen, it doesn't seem impossible.

"Can the county academy want me?" Liu Fei admitted that he was moved.

And he didn’t want to take the exam for fame. He just wanted to not be blind, be able to do arithmetic and write contracts. Just thinking about it made Liu Fei very excited. He found that if he had read books, he could do many things. There are many life choices.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, "Of course I can. If you don't believe me, just look at Liu Ji." She knew that the entrance standards in the county were not high.

"But it will cost a lot of money to go to the academy." Liu Fei hesitated again.

Qin Yao was happy and pointed at the rouge he bought, "Didn't you buy these things with your own wages?"

Liu Bai reacted quickly and excitedly waved his riding crop at Liu Fei behind him, "After you finish this year, you can use the wages to study in the county academy!"

Fortunately, I'm not married yet. Liu Bai thought with envy and luck in his heart.

If he were bolder, he could wait until the fourth child had studied for two years before getting married. It would be completely different and she would be worthy of the girl he wanted.

However, Qin Yao was present, so Liu Bai was embarrassed to talk about this topic, so he could only wink and wink at Liu Fei.

Unfortunately, the other party lowered his head in thought and did not see it.

Seeing that Liu Fei had listened, Qin Yao sped up and arrived at the village ahead of the convoy.

Passing by the old house, I shouted in: "Sanlang and Si Niang, go home!"

After a while, the twins ran out and waved goodbye to Jinhua.

When Jinhua saw them leaving, she burst into laughter and immediately threw the sandbox on which she was writing on and went to play.

Si Niang saw this clearly, and while reaching out to her mother to get on the horse, she huffed angrily and warned her like an old master: "I will come back tomorrow afternoon. Sister Jinhua, don't be lazy. Remember to practice the calligraphy you learned today. I will It needs to be checked!”

A sigh came from far away from the old house: "I know~, my old Master Liu Pingling!"

Siniang pouted and turned to look at Qin Yao, "Auntie, look at her! Her study attitude is not correct at all. How can she be admitted to the Ding Family School next year?"

"Okay, okay, take your time, don't be in a hurry." Qin Yao stroked the little girl's back, then told Sanlang behind him to sit still, and said to the old house: "Eldest brother and fourth brother are back!"

Go home from riding and get ready for dinner! (End of chapter)
