After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 109 Seeing Treasurer Fan Again

After checking in, Qin Yao took Liu Ji to the street to buy a lot of daily necessities and paper.

I brought pens, ink, paper and inkstones at home, and I have some commonly used paper. I bought more this time, so that Liu Ji could record the questions of the previous county examinations, and Qin Yao was going to use them to make mock exam papers.

Liu Ji didn't understand what she wanted to do with these past years' scientific examination questions, but she didn't dare to resist, so she just followed suit.

"It would be even better if you could know the answers of those who have achieved fame. Remember to copy them all down and bring them back to me every [-]th holiday." Qin Yao urged.

Liu Ji frowned and said: "How can it be so easy? How can a scholar like me talk about this with a naked person like me?"

Qin Yao stopped, crossed her arms and asked, "How much more money do you want?"

When she said the word "yinzi", the light in his eyes seemed to shine through, and he immediately changed into a positive look, counting with his fingers:
"You have to invite the talented masters to drink some good wine and eat some good food. You have been to the restaurant in this county. The cheapest table is also five or six yuan. Including the daily private exchanges, it will be worth it. Some people can see that it is necessary to pay a book rental fee in advance and pay someone a meat bag."

"Madam, please give me one tael of silver a month, that's almost enough."

After he said this number, he was ready to be cut in half by her, or even [-]% directly.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yao actually took out a tael of silver coins from her purse and threw it to him.

"Next time Muxiu, I will see what I want."

A cruel grin appeared at the corner of her mouth, "If you can't get these things back, you'd better not go home and go wandering around the world, or you will definitely die by my knife!"

Given this, plus the five cents of silver I just bought for daily necessities and paper, as well as one year's tuition and accommodation fees, half of the money I earned from working on the waterwheel in June was spent.

Now the total remaining money is only 14 taels, of which there are still three taels in the public account of the water mill.

It can be seen how far away it is for ordinary people whose annual net income is only between two taels and four taels to take the test of academic achievement.

Qin Yao sent Liu Ji, who was stunned by a tael of silver, to the gate of the academy, handed him the daily necessities and papers he had bought, and said, "The rice harvest will be in the middle of the month. You and Muxiu, please ask for two more." It's a day off, come back after harvesting the rice with me."

"Ah? Going to the ground again?" Liu Ji suddenly came to his senses, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Qin Yao didn't answer, but the meaning was already obvious. Do you think you don't have to go to the ground to study?

Before he passed the examination, he, Liu Ji, was still that mud-legged person who should go underground.

"Miss, then, what if my master doesn't allow me to take a vacation?" Liu Ji had the last hope.

Qin Yao cut off his hope directly, "Whenever the busy farming season and autumn harvest, students need to go home to help, the academy will allow two extra days off."

Liu Ji asked in disbelief: "How do you know?"

Qin Yao glanced at him contemptuously, "I saw that you didn't listen to what the guard said when you just checked in. I'll go back and ask again myself. I'm leaving."

When Liu Ji heard that she was leaving, he should have been very happy, but he was inexplicably uneasy, as if his confidence had suddenly been taken away. He took two steps forward and asked eagerly:

"Where are you going, lady? It's getting dark, you can't go back today, right?"

Qin Yao looked up at the deep twilight in the sky, waved her hands, "I have my own place to go, don't worry about me, just read your book carefully."

Liu Ji had no choice but to stop, like a discarded wild dog, and watched her go far away, until she disappeared, then carried a lot of things, and entered the gate of the academy nervously.

When he thought of the tasks that were on his head, he had no intention of entertaining him.Half a month, ah half a month, how come the academy rests every half a month instead of a month!
However, when he saw a few roommates making a fire and making tea for leisure under the eaves, he immediately regained his energy.

By nature, I can't think too much, I just want to have fun in time.

Aside from his previous scientific examination questions, there are still half a month left. After finally leaving that wicked woman's subordinates to gain some freedom, let him refresh himself for a few days before we talk about it!
On Liu Ji's side, he casually mingled among his classmates with a few words, enjoying the moon and drinking tea with them.

Qin Yao is still looking for a place to stay overnight.

There is no curfew in the city, but during non-holiday periods, the common people go home to eat and rest, and there are not many pedestrians on the street.

Qin Yao walked to the front of the restaurant.

As soon as he raised his eyes, the shopkeeper who planned the plan in the hall also just raised his head, and the two met face to face. The other party showed a puzzled look at first, then rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not dazzled, and walked out excitedly.

"But Mrs. Qin?" Shopkeeper Fan asked in disbelief.

Seeing Qin Yao nodding, she smiled at him and called, "Shopkeeper Fan, long time no see."

It's been a long time, almost a year!

Qin Yao didn't expect Shopkeeper Fan to recognize her, and told her that he knew she had done a big thing at the beginning of the year.

"What?" Qin Yao didn't even know.

There were only two tables of guests in the hall, which was a little deserted, but this was the norm. After all, it was not every day that we received such rare items as the Blind Bear.

Shopkeeper Fan pulled out a stool and asked Qin Yao to sit down at an empty table in the corner. He first asked her what she wanted to eat, and then asked the waiter to bring it to her.

He poured her a cup of tea himself, then sat down opposite her with a smile, and said, "The little leader of the horse bandit, you killed him, right?"

This matter was not publicized specifically, and Qin Yao asked curiously, "How did you know, Shopkeeper Fan?"

Shopkeeper Fan smiled mysteriously, "On New Year's Eve, when someone came to report to the officials, as soon as I heard that I was going to Liujia Village under Jinshi Town, I guessed that it must be your village. After that, the officials went back and forth several times, saying that Liujia Village encountered horse bandits. It’s all right, someone in the village shot and killed the little leader of the horse bandit who escaped, then I thought, except you, no one else has such a skill!”

"Am I right?" Shopkeeper Fan asked confidently.

Qin Yao nodded, and the waiter in the shop brought up the steamed buns with white flour and a large bowl of mutton soup, and also served her an extra plate of sour and refreshing pickled cucumbers, which whetted the appetite.

Qin Yao picked up the food and ate it, while shopkeeper Fan talked to her, saying that she should have come to the county to receive the reward.

There is a law in the Sheng Kingdom that stipulates that if the common people are killed by robbers on the road, they can bring the leader of the robber to the government to report the crime and receive a reward.

If you kill a thief, you get one tael of silver, and if you kill a gangster, you get two taels of silver. If you kill a group of bandits, in addition to the silver tael, you can also stay in the county government office to seek employment as a petty official.

Although this kind of position has no official position, it is still paid by the government. For ordinary people, it is already unattainable.

It is said that the King of Hades loves to deal with little ghosts, and these little officials often even give way to the county magistrate.

After all, it is a county magistrate with flowing water, a small official with iron, and the county magistrate changes every three years, but those officials in the yamen are always there.

　Tomorrow is five more, the last two days ask for a wave of monthly tickets!
