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

Liu Ji followed Qin Yao, looking back timidly and asking curiously:

"Madam, what did that female general just say to you?"

Qin Yao said nonsense seriously: "She asked me to kill you and go to the capital with her to become a female official. She wants to lead me to a prosperous career and reach the pinnacle of life."

Liu Ji suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He subconsciously tightened his cotton-padded jacket and asked tentatively with a smile:

"Lady, have you agreed?"

Qin Yao: "If I agreed, do you think you can still stand in front of me now?"

Liu Ji smiled, he knew it! She couldn't bear to kill him!

"But, madam, why do you refuse?" Liu Ji opened his eyes expectantly, waiting for her to say that she was reluctant to kill him.

Qin Yao stared at Liu Ji for three seconds, holding back the amusement in her heart. As he wished, she lowered her eyelashes slightly and said seriously: "Of course I can't bear to leave you and the children. A mere seventh-grade sergeant and the captain of Her Royal Highness's Guards. Can I buy my dearest family members? This is absolutely impossible."

Liu Ji's eyes suddenly burst into dazzling light. He couldn't believe that she, she actually cared about him so much.

"Madam!" Liu Ji stepped forward, grabbed both of her hands boldly, stood there, ignoring the curious and gossipy eyes of the people around him, and said loudly:

"I, Liu Ji, swear that I will definitely pass the exam and be worthy of your affection, madam, and let you live a better life than a seventh-grade sergeant!"

Qin Yao secretly disliked him, and without showing any flaws on her face, she naturally took out her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, let's pass the government examination next year and be exempted from taxes and corvee."

"Yeah!" Liu Ji nodded heavily, with tears glistening in his eyes. He turned away and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand. When he turned back, he smiled at her like a dog wagging its tail, full of tears. It's loyalty.

But Qin Yao knew that someone's moment of self-impression would not last long.

Sure enough, when they returned to the inn, Liu Saner, who had promised to live up to his love one second, fell asleep in "The Golden Mean" which he had just opened for less than half a quarter of an hour.

However, Liu Ji had never done anything to slap himself in the face. He got up early the next day, picked up the book "The Doctrine of the Mean" that was covered with his nightmare saliva and continued to memorize it.

When it was time for Qin Yao to get up, he immediately got up and went to buy hot water for washing. He went outside the store and bought hot buns and hot soy milk and placed them on the table. After Qin Yao washed her face, she could eat them when she sat down.

"You haven't read a book after eating. What are you doing here watching me?" Qin Yao asked unhappily.

Sitting opposite her, Liu Ji held his chin in his hands, his eyes full of spring, lowered his head and smiled shyly, and then stood up to read.

Looking at her, he couldn't help but look back at her. Qin Yao was annoyed and raised his fist to threaten, so he turned his head away.

After finishing a thorny breakfast, Qin Yao simply packed up and went out alone.

Her main task today is to settle the bill. Yesterday, she asked the inn clerk to send a letter to Fulong Trading Company to inform her. If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Wen will be waiting for her at the trading bank.

Qin Yao held a wooden box in her hand, with all the documents inside. Last time, the trading company placed an order for two thousand book boxes and paid a 30% deposit. Now there is still a balance of 560 taels of silver left.

Qin Yao checked her account again in her mind while looking at the shops on the street that were doing very well, not forgetting to look for the gadgets Erlang wanted.

Along the way, I found that several shops were selling small gadgets like windmills. The business was very good. Qin Yao decided to come and take a look after collecting the money.

Fulong Trading Company has arrived.

The clerk in the store happened to know Qin Yao, so he hurriedly took her in, served her hot tea, and asked her to wait a moment while he called the second shopkeeper over.

Before waiting for too long, Jiang Wen came in with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that Madam Qin, you and Magistrate He have such a deep friendship!"

Qin Yao glanced at him and said, "The second shopkeeper doesn't want to talk nonsense. It's nothing. How dare I, a village woman, dare to talk to the magistrate?"

Jiang Wen looked at her with an "I understand" look, sat down and said, "Ms. Qin keeps a low profile, but yesterday the magistrate's daughter personally went to the inn to pick you up and Mr. Liu, everyone saw it. This can't be a lie, right?"

Qin Yao didn't bother to explain anymore. Fulong Trading Company had so many informants. Jiang Wen could think about it as much as he wanted. He didn't beat around the bush and just brought the contract document signed last time and settled the balance.

Seeing that she didn't explain, Jiang Wen just thought she was acquiescing. In her polite gesture, she was a little more careful and hurriedly asked the waiter to bring up the money that had been prepared.

His attitude suddenly became so good. Qin Yao was still a little unaccustomed to it. She gave him a joking look, and Jiang Wen immediately smiled in apology.

Power is good, and the new orders are much more refreshing than expected.

"Ms. Qin, this is the balance of the previous payment, five hundred and sixty taels of silver. I will put the cash in the box for you. You can keep it."

"That's right." Another new contract document was handed over with the ink not yet dry, "This is the order for the coming year, five thousand magical book boxes. The last shipment will be picked up in mid-May. Can you see if there are any problems? "

"If there is no problem, let's follow the old rules and pay a 50% deposit first." He took two more large silver notes of 500 taels, a total of 1,000 taels, and gently put them in front of Qin Yao.

Qin Yao glanced at the bank note and then looked at Jiang Wen: "Second shopkeeper, is our old rule 50%?"

Jiang Wen smiled and nodded: "Exactly."

Qin Yao shook her head and returned a banknote, "You remembered wrongly, it was 30% to 600 taels. Just ask me for another 100 taels. Please take this banknote back and put it away."

A sharp light flashed in her eyes, and she reiterated once again that she had nothing to do with Magistrate He, so if he wanted to ask her to handle something difficult, she didn't have the ability to solve it for him.

Jiang Wen obviously didn't believe it so easily. He still wanted to say something, but Qin Yao raised her hand to stop it and returned the new order contract after reading it. "There are no other problems. Just exchange the advance deposit for 30%."

After saying that, seeing Jiang Wen freeze, Qin Yao sighed helplessly, "The last time I saw the shopkeeper, his face was not very good. Did he encounter something difficult? It has been so long and it has not been resolved yet?"

Jiang Wending glanced at her, then lowered his eyes and said while changing the contract:

"There was something wrong with a few cargo ships at the dock. They were detained by the Water Transport Department. The goods could not be delivered. The customers were pressing hard, and the trading house could not receive the payment. There was a stalemate there."

Therefore, he had no choice but to ask Qin Yao to see if he could help deliver a message to Magistrate He.

He also hurriedly invited the owner for this list of five thousand book boxes last night, thinking that Qin Yao still had a chance of survival. Who would have expected that she would not admit her relationship with the He family.

Qin Yao understood. No wonder Jiang Wen looked so ugly last time. It turned out that the trading company was seized by the Water Transport Department, causing the capital chain to break.

This matter is very serious. If it continues, the entire Fulong Trading Company will be brought down.

"Do you know who did it?" Qin Yao asked tentatively.

A trading firm like Fulong Trading Company that conducts inspections every year generally does not deliberately conduct strict inspections on water transportation.

Unless someone else maliciously reports it and interferes with it.

It seems that he is a villain.
