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

I recall that when Liu Ji entered the Ding family's mansion, he still looked like he had never seen the world and made a fool of himself in every cell.

This time, the He family's luxury was even better, but he had learned not to look sideways.

Coupled with the chicken coop and local eggs he was carrying, it gave off a sense of returning to nature and high quality, which made Qi Xianguan pay attention.

Is this still the Liu San'er he knew who took him naked and went into the bathhouse?

Arriving at the vase door of the second courtyard, Qi Xianguan said: "Madam, my aunt is waiting for you in the backyard. You can go there with my cousin."

Qin Yao nodded to show that she understood that men and women were separated, and gave Liu Ji a wink, not to let her off the hook and say something she shouldn't have said.

If there weren't so many maids, servants, and servants around, Liu Ji would have rolled his eyes.

Things are different now. He is no longer the mud-legged person he used to be.

He is now a disciple of Confucianism and the future scholar Liu Ji!

Qin Yao was holding the New Year's gift and didn't know who to give it to. He Zhanghua made a small move and the housekeeper immediately came forward and took the New Year's gift from the couple's hands.

The mother-in-law looked at the two energetic chickens in the cage and was secretly surprised. It had been a long time since she had received such a down-to-earth New Year gift.

He raised his head and secretly took a look at the visiting couple. The man had an excellent appearance, was calm and composed, dressed simply, and showed no trace of timidity.

The woman's clothes were a little more refined, but she only had a pair of silver bracelets and no other accessories. She was even more calm, and not as nervous and stingy as she was when she first arrived at the magistrate's house.

She walked with her head held high, and she was more imposing than the other ladies in the city, making people dare not neglect her.

With their simple attire and unusual temperament, the couple both exude a sense of mystery that invites exploration. It feels like they don't come from the mountains.

They seem to be the hermit's divine couple. He Zhanghua raised his head and looked at the woman beside him, thinking in his mind.

There was a decorative stone standing on the roadside on the right side in front. Qin Yao saw He Zhanghua just staring at her and was about to bump into it. He immediately took action, lifted her up by the waist, and placed her on the spacious road on the left.

The sudden volley made the little girl scream "Ouch" in fright. After reacting, she looked up at Qin Yao with eyes filled with admiration for Xiaoxing.

"Madam, are you born with such power? You are so powerful!" He Zhanghua asked curiously.

Qin Yao nodded lightly, and asked again: "You have such a natural magic, why don't you go to the battlefield and win military honors to become a female general?"

Qin Yao was startled, "Female general?" Can a woman from the Sheng Kingdom go to the battlefield?

He Zhanghua excitedly raised his hand and pointed to the flower hall in front, "There is another guest coming to visit my mother today. Guess who it is."

Qin Yao shook her head, too lazy to guess, "I can't guess."

He Zhanghua smiled slyly, with an expression that would definitely surprise you, and lowered his voice: "It's General Mu Ling, the personal guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is in charge of half of the imperial guards in Kyoto."

Somehow, she had an intuition that Qin Yao could understand these titles, unlike ordinary village women who had to explain themselves, so she waited to see Qin Yao's surprised expression.

Qin Yao did as she wished and showed a surprised look, "Is this General Mu Ling a woman?"

He Zhanghua nodded enthusiastically. She admired these powerful women the most and vowed to join the army in the future and ascend to the throne as a general.

And this is the only channel for power that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Holy Queen have secured for noble women.

Women are not required in the imperial examination, but they are allowed in the military camp.

However, only daughters of aristocratic families, wives of officials above the fifth rank, or lords of counties can have the privilege of joining the military.

Magistrate He is now a fifth-grade local official, and he meets the requirements.

Currently, there is only He Zhanghua, the only daughter in the family, so she naturally needs to be raised well.

He Zhanghua said with some expectation that General Mu Ling would be here today. It was her mother who asked for a favor from Her Royal Highness the Princess to come here for her apprenticeship.

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived outside the flower hall. Qin Yao looked at the enthusiastic He Zhanghua with some confusion and asked her, "Why are you telling me this, Miss?"

The little girl said to her with a humble attitude and a confident tone: "I want to recruit you to be my personal guard!"

She had thought about it during the Dragon Boat Festival, but by the time she got her parents' permission, the powerful woman had already left.

Who would have thought that they would meet again today? No matter what, if she didn't fight for herself once, she would definitely regret it in the future.

"You are just a commoner woman, and you will never be able to reach the threshold of a fifth-rank official in your life. But if you follow me, when I can leave the army, I can take you to the battlefield. Then we will fight side by side, and together we will defeat those Kick down all the old men who are blocking His Highness!"

Qin Yao suddenly remembered that the girl in front of her was only nine years old.

He Zhanghua asked confidently: "Do you agree or not? I can help you reconcile with your husband. What's the point of being a virgin?"

The little girl became more and more arrogant as she spoke, and a seemingly serious but actually endearing scolding came from the flower hall: "You rude little girl, why don't you invite the guests in!"

He Zhanghua, who had already mentioned that he would give Qin Yao a monthly salary of five taels of silver, quickly covered his mouth. Oh no, his mother heard it.

But those big black eyes looked at Qin Yao expectantly, waiting for her answer.

Qin Yao suppressed the turbulence in her heart for a moment, smiled lightly, and replied: "I'm sorry, Miss He, I can't wait for you to leave school."

This answer was obviously beyond the little girl's expectation, and she was stunned for a while.

Mrs. Qi's personal maid Chunhua opened the door and walked out. She blessed Qin Yao with a smile, "Mrs. Liu, come in and warm yourself by the fire. It's cold outside. It won't be good if you freeze."

With that said, he calmly pulled the stunned lady into the room, reminding her that if she talks so much, the lady will be unhappy.

When Qin Yao walked into the room, a warm air surged in and surrounded her, and a faint fragrance of flowers and fruits drifted into her nose, making people feel relaxed.

Qin Yao stepped forward. There were two women sitting in the flower hall. One was Mrs. Qi, who was dressed simply and dignifiedly in the main seat.

Qin Yao felt blessed and showed off her cold humor, "Qin Yao wishes my wife a good year." She said a few auspicious words for the New Year.

Mrs. Qi looked at her in surprise and couldn't help but smile. The maids and women behind her had already covered their faces and laughed out loud. They had never seen anyone wishing New Year's greetings so early.

But after laughing, seeing Qin Yao's generous smile following their happiness, they all cast kind glances at her, thinking that this person was very interesting.

Chunhua brought an embroidery stool and placed it on the guest seat on the right, "Madam, please sit down."

Directly opposite, sitting in the guest seat on the left, was a woman, about twenty-eighty-nine years old. She was very tall, about one meter and seventy-seven meters tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist. She only wore a thin jacket in the twelfth lunar month. A pair of leather boots with a short sword stuck into the side of the boots.

On the table next to her, there is a sheathed long sword, sitting in an open and closed posture. She is obviously a female figure, but she has a brave and mighty aura that makes people dare not look directly at her.

Qin Yao looked directly at the other party and nodded politely to say hello.

Then, instead of sitting on the embroidery stool brought by the maid, she chose to sit on the Taishi chair, which was as large and comfortable as the woman opposite.

The mighty woman opposite her had thick eyebrows and slightly frowned. She felt uncomfortable as if her territory had been offended, but the strong aura of the other person made her heart beat faster, and she unconsciously had the idea of ​​drawing out her sword and stabbing him.

Of course, she resisted the urge.

Just the subconscious resistance generated by her body was enough to frighten Mu Ling - the woman opposite was so strong that it made her tremble!
