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

Chapter 649 Identity is given by myself
Qin Yao is calculating something with pen and paper in front of the newly bought dressing table.

There were three lamps lit in the house, one in the outer hall, one by the bedside, and one on the dressing table. The light was so bright that it was so light that nothing could be seen.

It only took Liu Ji a second to realize that he might have thought wrong. There was no such deal waiting for him in the room.

He sighed secretly and brought the hot sugar water to the dressing table.

Qin Yao naturally reached out and took over half of the bowl, then returned the bowl to the tray and continued to draw a few strokes on the paper before stopping.

"I spent almost seventy taels of silver today. Things are expensive in this capital, and money is not spent at all." Qin Yao complained, silently crossing out the balance of the deposit calculated on the paper with a pen.

No matter how fast Liu Ji looked, he could only scan the number one. But he was sure that there were at least four numbers falling behind this one!
With so much money, a mere seventy taels of silver is nothing. The villain in Liu Ji's heart burst out laughing with pride.

Qin Yao motioned him to the small hall, and the couple sat down face to face and started talking about business.

Liu Ji sat upright with his hands on his knees, looking serious.

Qin Yao said: "Tomorrow morning we will go out to explore the way to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion to see the defense situation there. I will be responsible for exploring the way and you will be responsible for inquiring. The more information related to the Imperial Preceptor, the better."

Qin Yao said, and Liu Ji remembered that although he didn't understand why he wanted to inquire about the Imperial Master's preferences, who he was friends with, and who he was hostile to, the lady's words must have her own reasons.

The two chatted for half an hour and agreed on details such as tomorrow's main route of action, meeting place, etc. Qin Yao yawned and kicked Liu Ji out of the room.

Looking at the quiet room, Qin Yao took a gentle sniff of the comfortable air in the room, fell down on the new bedding laid out today, and fell asleep beautifully.

In the early morning, Qin Yao woke up when the neighbor's chicken crowed.

A voice came from outside the hospital: "Collect the night fragrance! Collect the night fragrance!"

There seemed to be an indescribable smell in the cold morning air.

Awang had already gotten up, opened the back door and called to the old man collecting night incense, and poured all the barrels of night incense stored in the latrine at home into the big wooden barrel the old man brought.

A new day begins with this wonderful smell.

Instead of having breakfast at home, Qin Yao and Liu Ji simply packed up and went out.

Before leaving, Qin Yao asked the four children to sort out the self-reviews they had written and come back tonight to check them themselves.

When the four brothers and sisters who were still a little sleepy heard this, they suddenly woke up from their drowsiness and hurriedly responded. They stood in a row and watched their parents go out.

Children shouldn't inquire about adults' matters. The four siblings were very sensible and didn't ask anything. They each went back to their rooms to prepare their own review manuscripts.

Qin Yao and Liu Ji walked out of Yongtongfang, bought a bun each at a roadside stall, and headed north while eating.

Both of them have foreign accents. Whenever they ask for directions, most people are very friendly and give directions to the two new outsiders.

Just like this, the two of them finally came to the place where they crossed the river.

It turns out that there are three bridges under the Yang River, and one bridge leads directly to Ziwei Palace. It is the only way for all officials to go to court. No one can enter.

The other two bridges, one leading to the westernmost Shangyang Palace, a holy place for royal vacations and banquets, are closed all year round. There is only one bridge on the east side, which is for ordinary people to lead to Beishi.

There are many boats under the bridge, and you can row on the river. Both sides of the river bank are full of pubs and restaurants, which are just ordinary during the day.

But at night, both sides of the river are brightly lit, with singing, dancing, fine wine and delicacies, beauties, poets and immortals. It is the number one gold-selling cave in Kyoto.

I don't have the confidence to come to this place without having a lot of money in my pocket.

Qin Yao grabbed Liu Ji, who was staring at the beauties playing and singing in the flower house across the river, and crossed the bridge to the north.

The Imperial Master's Mansion is easy to find. It is the largest house in the mansion closest to the East Palace.

Once here, the husband and wife divided their troops into two groups and acted according to the plan.

"See you downstairs in Xichu across the river in the evening." After leaving these words, Qin Yao disappeared in a flash.

Liu Ji didn't have time to say a word before the lady was gone. He spread his hands helplessly and followed the singing voice of the beauty he had just seen. He straightened his back and exuded the aura of sudden wealth, and swaggered into the flower house. .

It was still early, but this kind of self-proclaimed elegant restaurant opened very early. Inside, there were mostly young officials and officials who were not in high positions. They chanted a few sour poems and listened to two clear songs, which made them feel like they were the same as those on the other side of the river. Playboys who only come out at night are not the same kind of people.

Liu Ji has a good skin and a strange face, so he attracted a lot of attention as soon as he walked in.

Liu Ji, who had thirty taels of private money in his pocket, had already received a promise from his wife that the expenses would be reimbursed. He arrogantly invited all the guests in the building to have a pot of tea each, which attracted the attention of the gentlemen in the building.

Some people sneered inwardly, wondering where the nouveau riche from the countryside was, so vulgar.

However, it is absolutely unacceptable for someone to try to get the limelight out on them!

Within a few moments, a group of people gathered around the small private room by the river where Liu Ji was staying, trying to find out more about him, either probing, being polite or sarcastic.

Liu Ji's face was as thick as a city wall, and he was able to deal with these immature young men like a fish in water with ease.

Anyway, when he was away from home, he gave his identity to himself. He claimed to be from Wangcheng in the northwest to take the exam, and secretly revealed that he had a salt mine at home and had relatives living in Xiuwenfang, where senior officials of the Sixth Ministry were located.

The person who had just secretly laughed at his sudden wealth suddenly changed his face. There is really a mine, so what does it look like to be rich?
There are also relatives from the six tribes here, and they must be children from some prominent families in the northwest.

The leader of the group of young men lifted up his robe and sat down opposite Liu Ji, "Brother Lu Xiaofeng, I wonder if you can invite Brother Liu to the private room on the second floor to listen to a piece of music? Can you guys make friends?"

Liu Ji: "Thank you for Mr. Lu's kindness, but I'm not interested in listening to music. I just heard that the Imperial Master has profound moral principles, and I want to find a place closer to the Imperial Master to get some good luck."

"It would be even better if I could have the opportunity to meet the Imperial Master from a distance. It will definitely help me successfully enter the rankings in the next spring." Liu Ji looked expectantly and worshiped, and inadvertently took out the peace charm he carried around his waist. Show a corner.

These young men look glamorous, but because they are protected by their elders and enjoy all kinds of privileges, it is hard to find two or three among them.

Hearing that Liu Ji was still confident of getting married, the look in his eyes was a little different.

Lu Xiaofeng said "Oh~", it turned out to be a believer. He didn't believe anything himself, but that didn't stop him from understanding. He immediately told Liu Ji the news that the Imperial Master was currently in retreat, and advised him not to wait, as he wouldn't be able to see anyone for the next month.
