MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 594 My name is Liu Ji, remember
The new county magistrate woke up after sleeping all night. Old servant Wen came to the back hall of the Yamen carrying a hot breakfast.
“Village Chief Qin, the master ordered the servant to bring some food.”
The old servant's voice suddenly stopped, just because he saw the inappropriate scene in the back hall a few days ago, and his old eyes suddenly widened.
The village chief Qin he mentioned was sitting lazily cross-legged on a table covered with quilts. His clothes could not be said to be untidy, but rather messy.
Behind her was Liu Juren, who was holding a small mirror in one hand for his wife to look after, and a hairbrush in the other hand, combing his hair skillfully.
The scene of intimate love between husband and wife in this room suddenly appeared in the bright and upright back hall. Old servant Wen was not prepared at all. He froze at the door for a while, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
The couple came over after hearing the reputation, and looked at each other. Their eyes were calm, but they found him strange.
"Here, this is breakfast. Village chief, please have breakfast first. The villain will come back later. The elder has woken up. He will come back later to take the two of them to see the elder."
As soon as the breakfast was put away, Old Servant Wen ran away in a hurry.
Liu Ji had a puzzled look on his face. He tied the cloth on Qin Yao's head, restored her eight-quarter bun to yesterday's, and asked her to look in the mirror to see if she was satisfied.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Qin Yao was reluctantly satisfied, but it was far inferior to Yin Le’s craftsmanship.
Get up and tidy up the clothes that were scattered after sleeping, and open the breakfast left by Old Servant Wen. There is fresh hot soy milk and fried dough sticks, and the portion is very large. I guess I asked her about her appetite before coming here.
Qin Yao was very happy to have a full meal and signaled Liu Ji to stop looking like him and come over to eat. After eating, he could see the county magistrate and finish his work early and go home early.
The aroma of the food came, and Liu Ji reluctantly put down his small mirror, combed the broken hair on his head neatly with a small wooden comb, and had a beautiful meal with his wife.
As for why he was on the ground instead of on the quilt-covered desk when he woke up, smart people never take the initiative to cause trouble for themselves, just let it go with the wind!
Old servant Wen calculated the time and turned back, bringing the couple to the former Song family's mansion.
This house was prepared by the Yamen for the county magistrate and his family. The predecessors had left, and only two people came to the new county magistrate. It was empty, very deserted, and very quiet.
Follow the old servant to the flower hall of the main courtyard. The new owner has just arrived and has not decorated it yet. There is only a set of tables and chairs for guests and a pair of flower stands. Wen Changli is sitting at the head of the table waiting, and his complexion has recovered.
Qin Yao and Liu Ji entered to pay homage to the county magistrate, but were called out before they finished paying homage to the county magistrate.
It was dark and windy last night, and he fainted immediately afterwards. Wen Changli didn't see what Qin Yao looked like at all. Now he could see her face clearly. She was cold and beautiful, healthy but not fat. It was really difficult to distinguish her from Hercules linked together.
However, the breakfast meal that was sent was for four or five people, so after the two of them left, Wen Changli immediately became concerned about Wen: "Is Madam Qin still satisfied with her breakfast?"
Qin Yao nodded, "I'm full already. Thank you for the breakfast prepared by your Excellency. It's very generous."
Wen Changli glanced at her waist and abdomen, which was tied with a belt. It was no different from ordinary people, but narrower and thinner. If it wasn't rude, he would have wanted to ask her where all the food she ate was piled up.
But to put it bluntly, these are not important. What is important is that I was safe and sound on Liaofeng Mountain last night thanks to me. Wen Changli winked at the old servant. The old servant understood and brought the thank-you gift that he had prepared early this morning to Qin Yao and his wife.
"Thanks to Madam Qin for rescuing my lord last night, these are a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants. I heard that Madam Qin and Liu Juzi are very affectionate as husband and wife, so my lord specially selected this pair to express our feelings and hope not to dislike them."
In fact, these are a pair of jade pendants that Wen Changli changed into in a hurry after returning from the back hall.
He had only prepared a piece of jade ring before, but the old servant had just come back and told him that Village Chief Qin and his Prime Minister were very affectionate, and they tied their hair and dressed up without anyone else being intimate in broad daylight, which almost embarrassed him to death.
Therefore, giving a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants to a loving couple can be regarded as a perfect match.
Wen Changli felt that his gift was quite thoughtful and secretly looked forward to the recipient's reaction.
He thought that the couple must be excited and shy at the same time. I am afraid they would smile at each other affectionately, and then stand up to thank the gift.
Unexpectedly, the hall suddenly fell into dead silence.
Actually, Liu Ji was very happy about this gift, not because of its meaning, but because he felt that the jade was of good quality and must be valuable.
but! Secretly taking a look at the evil woman beside him who showed no emotion at all and even looked a little disgusted, he had no choice but to hold his hand firmly and remain silent.
"Mrs. Qin, are you dissatisfied?" After waiting for a long time and not seeing any response that met his expectations, Wen Changli finally couldn't bear the strange silence and took the initiative to ask to break the deadlock.
Qin Yao sighed lightly, stood up, and said seriously: "My lord, it's not that I'm dissatisfied, I'm just worried that it's not worthy of such a great gift."
Hearing this, Liu Ji's eyes suddenly widened. As expected of you, Qin Yao, take retreat in order to advance, high! It’s really high!
Wen Changli was startled and was very surprised when he saw Qin Yao pushing the gift back with a determined look on her face.
Qin Yao pulled Liu Ji up and bowed, "Sir, since you are safe, my mission has been completed. There are still many things to be busy with in the village, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he turned around and strode out.
Liu Ji was stunned for a moment. Wasn't he trying to retreat in order to advance? Why did you really leave?
He hasn't said a word to the adults yet!
But with the head of the family gone, he, a small soldier and general, had to leave too. Liu Ji had no choice but to turn back three times at a time and shout loudly to the new county magistrate: "Liaofengshan night rescue, my name is Liu Ji, please remember-"
Haunted all the way to the gate, making sure that the other party could no longer hear his voice, and then stopped.
Qin Yao had already walked out four or five meters away. Liu Ji hurriedly caught up and complained, "Madam, how can you sing this? Favors are favors, and a thank you gift is a thank you gift. Even if you take the thank you gift, you will definitely return it." Remember our favor, why do you pretend to be aloof and don't want me to see that pair of mandarin duck jade pendants, which are of good color, have good meanings, and are worth more than ten taels of silver."
There was a real noise in her ears. Qin Yao stopped abruptly. Liu Ji almost bumped into her and quickly backed away. He stared at her in horror and asked weakly: "Madam, what are you doing? Did you leave something behind?"
Qin Yao laughed angrily at his cowardice and sneered: "He only brought a carriage and an old servant. It shows that the family is not rich. Why should he ask for his things for that little money? Let him think that Is the favor enough? Just let him remember this favor."
She seems to be quite young. If he abdicates during his three-year term, the favor she left with Wen Changlin will be of great use. (End of chapter)
