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

Bian Fucheng inn business was booming this year. Qin Yao and his wife asked three mid-range inns in succession, but none of them had ordinary rooms to choose from, either full-size bunks or super luxurious Tianzi No. 1 rooms.

This time, there was no Qi Xianguan to entertain guests. Qin Yao focused on one province, and waved her hand, "Move on to the next one!"

She still didn't believe it. It was so difficult to stay in an inn.

Liu Ji didn't have much money in his pocket and no right to speak, so he accepted his fate and continued to drive around the city in the cold wind.

This Fucheng is obviously further south than Kaiyang County, but unexpectedly the temperature is lower. Because there is a river in the city, the humidity rises, and it feels like the chill is piercing the bones.

After checking out two more inns, the couple finally found an ordinary room at the inn where they stayed in Fucheng for the first time and successfully checked in.

But after all the hard work, it was already evening.

Qin Yao quickly sent Liu Ji out to deliver greeting cards so that he could visit him tomorrow.

She stayed alone in the inn, packing up the New Year gifts she had brought.

The two baskets of native eggs were intact, and the deer antlers and Ganoderma lucidum were also lying in the gift box. The four fat native chickens were frozen and a little wilted. Qin Yao felt that they would not survive tonight.

She teased them with rice for a while, trying to get them to run around and get some fresh air. A quarter of an hour later, the four chickens in the chicken coop didn't even get out of the chicken coop. They were nestled on the straw pile in the cage, their eyes closed.

"If you are lazy again, I will kill you all tonight!" Qin Yao threatened.

Four chickens: "."

Obviously, this threat only works against Liu Ji, who can understand human speech.

There were brisk footsteps and humming from behind. Qin Yao looked back and saw Liu Ji returning from sending greetings. He was holding a bag of hot buns and smiling.

The couple looked at each other, and Qin Yao's face became even more ugly.

Liu Ji glanced at her suspiciously, "Madam, I didn't offend you today, did I?"

He just used his own money to buy a few meat buns, so she wouldn't be unhappy with this little thing, right?

Qin Yao naturally took the paper bag from his hand and stuffed a bowl of brown rice into Liu Ji's hand, "If these four chickens don't come out of the cage and run out of energy today, I will kill you tonight!"

Liu Ji understood the human words and immediately trembled, but soon he couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, it turns out that these four chickens made the lady unhappy. They scared me to death."

As for the words she said she wanted to kill him, Liu Ji said that his ears were about to get calluses when he heard them. She loved them so much, but she couldn't!

"Madam, please come in and warm yourself up. Eat two steamed buns to cushion your belly. These steamed buns are so delicious. Leave these disobedient beasts to me." Liu Ji smiled lightly, conscious of his handsomeness, and lifted up his robe. , squatted down in front of the chicken coop.

"Cuckoo--" he called while feeding the rice.

Qin Yao opened the door of the guest room and sat in the room eating meat buns. Suddenly she felt that the world was beautiful.

If Liu Ji could always be so obedient, she wouldn't mind giving him a little more sweetness.

pity

"Madam, this chicken seems to be hard." Liu Ji came to report anxiously, carrying a motionless old hen with his eyes closed.

Qin Yao held her forehead and took a deep breath. In the cold winter months, the words coming out of her mouth were even colder, "Let's stew."

Liu Ji grinned and hurriedly sent the freshly frozen chicken to the inn kitchen.

Fortunately, the remaining three finally escaped from the cage due to the temptation of food. They were chased around by Liu Ji in the yard and finally regained their vitality.

At night, while drinking delicious chicken soup, the couple looked at the three lively chickens in the corner of the room. They frowned slightly and said in unison:

"Three unlucky days, how about killing another one?"

Looking at each other and smiling, everything goes without saying anything.

Qin Yao had a big appetite, and one pot of chicken was not enough. Late at night, Liu Ji stewed another one for her as a supper. She was satisfied before falling asleep after eating.

Liu Ji consciously laid on the floor, his eyes were just fine, and he didn't want to turn into a one-eyed dragon when he went to meet the nobleman tomorrow.

The invitation stated that he would arrive at noon, leaving time for breakfast and avoiding dinner.

After getting up from sleep, the couple cleaned up their appearances. Qin Yao held the gift box, Liu Ji held the chicken coop in her left hand and eggs in her right hand. They left the guest room in a very down-to-earth manner, preparing to visit Magistrate He's home.

As soon as the two walked out of the inn, a low-key green carriage stopped in front of the inn.

A little head emerged from the car. It was a cute pink and white girl wearing a rabbit-head fur hat.

"I remember you, the female Hercules rower!" He Zhanghua said with a smile.

Qi Xianguan then got out of the carriage and called out to his wife and junior brother. Only then did Qin Yao dare to confront what the little girl had just said.

"Brother, are you coming to pick us up?" Liu Ji asked excitedly.

Qi Xianguan nodded and introduced the girl beside him to the couple, "My cousin, He Zhanghua."

The couple bowed politely together, "Ms. He."

"You're welcome, get in the car. My cousin and I are here to pick you up on mother's orders." He Zhanghua didn't have any pretense at all. She was like an enthusiastic little girl from the neighbor's house. She opened her big eyes and looked at Qin Yao. Couple.

When he saw Liu Ji, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he was quickly attracted by the chicken in the cage.

Qi Xianguan said with a little satisfaction: "The villagers fed them with the insects they caught."

He Zhanghua frowned, what's there to show off!

But I still couldn't hold back my envy.

Last night, when Qi Xianguan told his mother that he had built his own lotus courtyard in Liujiacun, she almost cried with envy.

After hearing Qi Xianguan say that his junior brother's wife was the strongwoman who helped her win the first place in the Dragon Boat Festival during the Dragon Boat Festival, she couldn't wait this morning and begged her mother to let her come out to pick up the guests, just to see her as soon as possible.

Because He Zhanghua was a girl, Liu Ji consciously stayed outside the carriage, leaving only Qin Yao and Qi Xianguan sitting in the carriage.

He Zhanghua stared at Qin Yao and asked her expectantly: "Madam, do you still remember me?"

Qin Yao nodded, "Of course I remember."

"We are so destined." He Zhanghua said excitedly: "I didn't expect that you not only helped me win first place, but also saved my cousin and the old man Gong Liangxiao."

That old man? Qin Yao secretly curled up the corners of her lips, this title was a bit interesting.

Qi Xianguan glanced at He Zhanghua dissatisfied and said, "You can't be so rude to Sir."

"That's your husband, not mine. He and dad said bad things about me, so what if I just called him old man?" He Zhanghua was so disgusted with the house that he even looked at him, including Qi Xianguan, a great Confucian disciple. Don't like it anymore.

The two cousins ​​quarreled again, and Qin Yao just looked at them and said nothing.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the side door of He's house, and the coachman said: "Miss, young master cousin, we are here."

The arguing cousins ​​suddenly realized that the guest was still there.

Qi Xianguan didn't care. Anyway, he and Qin Yao were already very familiar with each other.

He Zhanghua looked a little embarrassed and was too embarrassed to speak as he led the guests in.
