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

"W-what?"

Qi Xianguan suspected that he had just heard wrongly.

But seeing Liu Ji continue to read out the content of the article he had written in a recalling tone, the young man's expression completely collapsed, his eyes widened as if he were the same age, his mouth opened wide enough to eat two eggs, his shoulders slumped, and he looked completely frightened.

Awang, who was concentrating on cooking, was interrupted by the two brothers.

He raised his eyes and looked at the three masters and apprentices opposite him. Liu Ji, who was calmly recalling the contents of the examination papers with a calm heart, Gong Liangxiao who was indifferent and focused on picking fish bones, and Qi Xianguan, who could no longer maintain his dignified temperament and turned into a sick young man. , I thought to myself, it turns out that the scientific examination can still be played like this.

Then if he wrote "My life-and-death bond with King Feng and the Holy Queen", would he be able to win the title of Juren?

After Liu Ji finished speaking about his scientific examination article, when he saw that his little senior brother was still looking dull, he secretly sighed for the poor child and manually closed his open mouth.

"It's because the teacher is so good at knowing things and teaching his disciples such useful methods that he succeeded this time."

Liu Ji stood up, looked at Gong Liangliao gratefully, and raised his glass, "Disciple, here's a toast to the teacher! Thank you very much, teacher."

After that, he drank the wine in one gulp, feeling very refreshed.

Gong Liangxiao curled his lips indifferently, hummed, said nothing more, and only concentrated on eating.

Qi Xianguan looked at his teacher and then at his junior brother. His heart was shocked for a long time. He didn't expect that his teacher could be so crooked.

Liu Jichong blinked at the young senior brother, touched the young man's head, and perfunctorily soothed the young man's shocked heart.

After the meal, Liu Ji asked: "The results have come out. When does the teacher plan to return?"

"Return trip?" Gong Liangxiao held a tea cup filled with wine and raised his eyelids to look over, his eyes filled with anticipation, "Back to the village?"

Liu Ji nodded as he should, "Yes, I have been away from home for a long time. My wife must have missed me very much. I can't bear to ask her to wait any longer."

Hearing this, Gong Liangxuan almost spit out the wine he had just put in his mouth.

But after all, he was a person who had experienced strong winds and waves. He swallowed the drink in his mouth, put down the tea cup and glanced at Liu Ji's worthless look angrily, "I think you are already lovesick."

Liu Jijun's face turned red, and he lowered his long and curled eyelashes, "How could it be~"

Qi Xianguan finally found his presence as a senior brother. He stood up solemnly and patted Liu Ji's shoulder, "Junior brother, your studies are the most important thing. If you don't accomplish your great cause, you have to let go of your love for your children."

Liu Ji took away the little hand on his shoulder, not intending to discuss the feelings between these adults with a little kid with no hair.

He and his wife were very loving, and he had never seen her treat another man the way she treated him!

He is now covered in marks from her hammering!

Liu Ji snorted, turned to look at Gong Liangxiao, and continued the topic of the return trip.

Gong Liangxiao really wanted to go back to Liujia Village, but there was still some trouble with Qi Xianguan.

Ever since, the master and the apprentice, who were in agreement, looked at the little Qi Xianguan together.

Qi Xianguan was very excited. Who wouldn't like to go out and hang out? Moreover, he has not returned to Lotus Courtyard this year. It was a small world he built for himself. However, "I have to go back to my ancestral home first."

Gong Liangxuan's eyes were deeply colored.

Liu Ji's eyes flashed with danger, like a hungry wolf. Anyone who prevented him from returning to the village to see his wife would be killed without mercy!

Qi Xianguan's voice changed, "But after worshiping our ancestors, we can go back to Lianyuan together and stay there until the new year."

Liu Ji nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, "Then let's set off the next day."

Gong Liangliao had no objection, neither did Awang, nor did Qi Xianguan, Shitou and others.

After the date was set, everyone suddenly felt that time was tight and they hurried back to the house to pack their luggage.

Liu Ji didn't have much luggage, and Awang was even more simple, just a change of clothes.

On the other hand, Qi Xianguan and his party were very large, with many people and many things. They only had one day to clean up, so it was even more hectic.

But returning home is like an arrow, and no one complains.

After Liu Ji packed his luggage, he remembered something, put out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter home explaining his return date and the fact that he had won the exam.

If my wife knew that he was so promising, she would never call him an incompetent waste.

Maybe she could cuddle up in his arms with admiration, saying that he was her greatest hero, and telling him to do good things for the people in the future and become a great man in the sky.

Thinking of this, Liu Ji's heart beat wildly twice. He quickly put down his pen, covered his face with his hands, and sank into the darkness. It took him a while to slowly control his excitement.

Awang, who was in the same room with him, leaned against the door. He glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and his face twitched violently. He was a bit pretentious.

Awang looked away and looked at the moon in the sky. It was a quarter moon at the beginning of the month, and a little bit of the crescent moon was pointed.

The sky in Yingtian Mansion seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and even the moon seemed much dimmer.

Awang suddenly remembered the moon in the village. Even if there was only one crescent, it was always shining brightly.

I don’t know if Dalang and the other kids made mooncakes for Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

"It's written!"

Liu Ji put down his pen, blew on the letter paper, and pressed it with an inkstone. When he finished it tomorrow, he took it out and asked someone to help him send it home.

I took off my clothes and went to bed, pulled up the thin quilt, closed my eyes and fell asleep with a smile on my face.

Awang sighed sadly, put out the candle, and fell asleep on his own bed.

At dawn the next day, the two left everyone behind and went out early.

First, I asked someone to send the letter away, then I found a small restaurant to have breakfast, and spent the rest of the time planning to go shopping in Yingtian Mansion.

Liu Ji weighed the money bag. The copper plates and broken silver inside collided together, making a sweet sound.

For a genius like him, if he wins the exam in one try, the next time he comes to Yingtian Mansion will probably be the next time.

It’s a rare opportunity to pick out some local specialties and bring them back to make your family happy.

After making up his mind, Liu Ji beckoned and asked Awang to act together, preparing to let him be the delivery groom.

However, he waved for a long time, but there was no movement behind him.

Liu Ji looked back impatiently and saw Awang standing blankly in front of a stall selling jade carvings, staring at a nest of jade rabbits on the stall.

There were six rabbits in that nest, two big and four small. The big ones were as big as goose eggs and the small ones were as big as bird eggs. They were all light blue and crystal clear. They didn't look cheap at first glance.

Seeing Liu Ji approaching, Awang pointed to the six jade rabbits, with a faint smile on his lips, and introduced them one by one, "Me, Madam, Da Lang, Er Lang, San Lang, and Si Niang."

Liu Ji glared at him, pointed at the six jade rabbits, and said viciously: "Me! Madam! Da Lang, Er Lang, San Lang, and Si Niang."

Awang didn't argue with him, he said sincerely: "Buy it and take it home."

Liu Ji was very impressed by his knowledgeable attitude. He pointed his nostrils at the stall owner and asked for a price.

The boss glanced at the two men and thought that there was probably something wrong with these two grown men, because they could recognize people from just a few pieces of jade.

But of course there was business to do, so he said, "Ten taels of silver."

Liu Ji secretly took a breath and said, "Forget it." Hesitating for a second longer is disrespectful to his own pocket!

Not thinking about it, Awang touched his waist, took out ten taels of silver ingots, put them on the stall, and took away the six jade rabbits in a nest.

Liu Ji was shocked. He didn't know how clean Awang's pocket was, but he actually took out ten taels of silver without blinking. Where did he get the money?

Liu Ji strode to catch up with Awang and asked in shock: "How come you have so much money?"

Don't be the answer he least wants to hear.
