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

Liu Ji finally got the news and found out that a well-known local wealthy businessman was going to treat him to a banquet. He hurriedly finished his homework in Lianyuan, fooled the teacher into a happy mood, and rushed home excitedly.

When he entered the house, he found Qin Yao who was exercising in the backyard. He stood in front of her and asked excitedly: "Madam, where is my invitation? Please show it to me quickly!"

For the first time in his life, he felt so popular!

Qin Yao put down the big knife. Looking at his happy look, there was only a dog's tail wagging wildly behind his butt.

"It's on the table in my room." Before she could even say the words 'I want to go get it myself', the person in front of her had disappeared.

The corner of Qin Yao's mouth twitched slightly, she picked up the sword and was about to continue the unfinished exercise, when she heard someone's wild laughter coming from the main room. She laughed and shouted excitedly: "There is actually a Fan family!"

Fan family?

Qin Yao vaguely remembered a vague figure, as if Liu Ji had a close relationship with a scholar named Fan when he was in the county academy.

Being able to play with Liu Ji in the past is not a good thing after all. Qin Yao directly crossed out the Fan family from the reply list.

Liu Ji didn't know this. He only knew that Mr. Fan liked to gamble. If the two families were on good terms, he could spend other people's money to see all kinds of things in the gambling shop.

He deliberately put aside the note sent by the Fan family, looking for pen to write a reply, but when he looked up, he found that it was still in the evil woman's room.

"Madam, you are so busy that you don't have time to deal with these posts, so why don't you take your husband to the study and go back together?" Liu Ji leaned out of the window sill and flattered Qin Yao in the backyard for instructions.

Qin Yao's lips curved slightly, "Okay, you write your reply first."

Liu Ji didn't notice the word 'first'. He only heard her say yes and was overjoyed. He picked up the twelve invitations and went to the study.

He thought about the text of the reply many times, but felt that it was not enough, so he called Qi Xianguan and Gong Liangliao to his home for dinner, and asked them for advice.

Qi Xianguan had never seen anything like this before. He looked at his overjoyed junior brother in surprise, "Aren't you deceiving the imperial court?"

Liu Ji is not yet an official, but there are so many profiteers trying to find loopholes in the court. If he becomes an official in the future, how can he repay it?

Liu Ji chuckled and said, "Senior brother, I'm over-worrying. How can this be called deception about a family's affairs? Besides, look at this post, which sentence is wrong? They sincerely gave me the land, house and shop, if I refuse , then didn’t I let down other people’s good intentions?”

Qi Xianguan slapped away Liu Ji's hand that was about to fall on his head, and only looked at Gong Liangxiao, "Sir!"

Gong Liangxiao ate the food calmly, as if he was not surprised at all, and said slowly in a calm tone:

"Jingxuan, as long as it complies with the rules, it's okay."

Qi Xianguan didn't expect that his husband would actually say that, and asked anxiously: "That's right, right?"

He was very worried that Liu Ji, his junior brother, was not a person of good character. If his husband wanted to indulge and protect him like this, wouldn't it be harming him?

Gong Liangxiao smiled enigmatically, "Right and wrong are determined by people. The only difference lies in which side the person who makes the rules prefers."

"Jingxuan." Gong Liangxiao gave Qi Xianguan a loving look, "If you think it's wrong, it's just because you think that if you can't be the one to make the rules, then you can only abide by the rules. Do you understand?"

"Of course, being a teacher doesn't mean that you have to become a person who only knows how to follow the rules and forget your true heart. I just hope that you can be like your junior brother, blame others more, condemn yourself less, and be happier."

Sometimes it's easier to just go with the flow.

Of course, Gong Liangliao would not say this to someone like Liu Ji. It was precisely because he knew what the young man in front of him was holding on to in his heart that he hoped he could indulge a little more.

"Sir?" Qi Xianguan frowned deeper. Looking at the old man with rare loving eyes, a trace of worry suddenly rose in his eyes.

"Why are you talking about this kind of advice that seems to be about leaving me?"

Gong Liangxiao was startled, and then burst into laughter.

Liu Ji and Qi Xianguan looked at each other. For the first time, the two brothers tacitly realized that something was wrong with their teacher.

After dinner, on the way back to Lianyuan with Gong Liangliao, Liu Ji tentatively asked the old man if he wanted to go to the county to find a doctor.

Qi Xianguan also echoed: "Sir, you haven't had a doctor come for consultation for a long time."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them finished speaking, Gong Liangliao's entire face darkened.

The two brothers immediately shut up and had to secretly look at the old man's body to see if there was anything wrong.

But looking all the way to Lianyuan, I didn't see anything strange.

Liu Ji originally wanted to wait for the teacher to take a bath. He took off his clothes and took a closer look to see if the wounds on the severed limbs had ulcers. As a result, the old man gave him a big slap on the back of his head.

Covering his head and escaping out of the courtyard, Liu Jidu could still hear a roar coming from behind him: "I'm in very good health!"

Liu Ji patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

This Qi is more powerful than his. It seems that the teacher's health is indeed fine.

After walking back home, he saw that the lights in Qin Yao's room were still on. Liu Ji handed over the twelve replies that his teacher and senior brother had polished, and asked Qin Yao to find Song Yu to send the replies.

"Got it." Qin Yao was looking at the investigation reports brought back by Awang, without raising her head, and waved her hand to Liu Ji to close the door.

Liu Ji was delighted, "That's all the hard work, ma'am."

After closing the door of the main room, as if there were springs under my feet, I jumped back to the study, looking forward to the wonderful scene of attending twelve banquets in a row, and fell asleep beautifully.

But he never expected that Qin Yao would reply to three posts.

"Why?"

Liu Ji, who knew the truth, held back the tears that were about to fall, rushed to Qin Yao angrily, put his hands on his hips and asked:

"Obviously I only need to go back to three families, why do you want me to write all the replies to twelve families?!"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Aren't you angry because you can't go to twelve banquets in a row?"

Of course it is! Liu Ji replied in his heart.

However, he was not far away from being beaten after saying this.

After all, his little thoughts couldn't be exposed, so he could only question her about his twelve replies.

Qin Yao glanced at him playfully and called Awang and Yin Le over, "Tell him why he only replied to three invitations."

Awang looked at Yin Le and motioned for her to speak.

Yin Le coughed lightly and explained to his master very seriously and rigorously:

"It's like this. After two rounds of cross-investigations by Awang and I, we found that among the twelve wealthy businessmen, the descendants of the Zhang family are deviant, the Xuan family is lustful, the Wu family, Wang family, and Fan family like extravagance, and the Fan family likes gambling. "

"Associating with such people will easily damage the reputation of the master and may affect his career, so in the end only three families, Deng, Qian and Shen, who are diligent, simple and of good conduct, were left."

After hearing this, Liu Ji was moved to tears, pointed at Awang and Yin Le, and said twice: "Very good, very good."

Well done, there was no happy path left for him!
