Chapter 693 Sanlang, You Have to Rely on Yourself

Liu Ji waved his hand and asked the coachman who brought him to the Imperial Master's Mansion to withdraw.

With a few words, he sent away the curious neighbors who came over and slammed the door.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, forced a bright smile, coughed twice, and then walked towards the dining room.

But before he even reached the dining room, he couldn't pretend anymore. He smiled at Qin Yao and said excitedly:

"My lady, do you think I am so powerful? You don't know that I have Si Kong Jian firmly under my control. If I tell him to go east, he dare not go west. If I tell him to go to the sky, he dare not go to the ground!"

"All this is thanks to you, my lady!" These words came completely from Liu Ji's heart.

If it weren't for my wife's superb martial arts skills, she would not have been able to subdue that guy Si Kong Jian.

"Dang, dang, dang!" Liu Ji came to the dining room. He pushed the four children who came to greet him aside and walked straight towards Qin Yao. He spread out his palms and revealed a purse as if he was offering a treasure.

The four Dalang brothers and sisters who were pulled apart looked at each other, then looked at their father who only had their mother in his eyes, and sighed helplessly.

It looks like Dad will never be able to escape from Mom's control in this life.

"What is that?" Qin Yao asked suspiciously.

Liu Ji gave her a wink with pride, "Silver, a full one hundred taels."

Liu Ji stuffed the purse into Qin Yao's hand, motioning her expectantly to open it and take a look. He stared at her face without blinking, not wanting to miss any expression of surprise.

Qin Yao opened her purse, and inside lay two large silver ingots, one weighing fifty taels. These plump silver ingots were very pleasing to the eye.

"Where did so much silver come from?" Qin Yao took out the silver ingots and played with them while looking at Liu Ji in disbelief.

She roughly guessed where the silver came from, as Awang had already told her about Liu Ji's deeds in the Imperial Master's Mansion.

But actually seeing Liu Ji take back the one hundred taels of silver and listening to Awang's description were two completely different feelings.

Seeing Qin Yao looking at him with suspicion, Liu Ji rolled his eyes in annoyance and quickly explained that this was his monthly salary as a servant in the Imperial Master's Mansion.

"One hundred taels a month?" Qin Yao couldn't believe it. "The Imperial Master also agreed?"

Liu Ji nodded proudly and immediately told Qin Yao all the conditions he had negotiated with the Imperial Master's Mansion.

After saying this with spit flying all over his body, he sat down at the table and shook his head proudly, "How is it? Am I awesome, Master?"

The small Imperial Master's Mansion can be easily controlled!

Is Si Kongjian stupid? This is the common thought of the whole family.

He was picked up and dropped off by car, treated as a VIP, and given an attendant to be at his disposal at any time. He was also paid a monthly salary of one hundred taels of silver.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would believe it if you told them!

Erlang was surprised. For the first time, he realized that his father had some real skills. Adhering to the fine tradition of being studious, he moved in front of Liu Ji and asked sincerely:
"Father, can you teach me this skill of yours?"

Dalang, Sanlang and Si Niang also came over. Si Niang served tea, Sanlang massaged his legs and Dalang kneaded his shoulders, intending to study together.

Father's trick is really powerful. He has taken it to the extreme of getting something for nothing. If you can learn one or two of his skills, you won't be afraid of starving to death in Kyoto anymore.

Liu Ji was very happy, enjoying the flattery of the children, and said leisurely: "Actually, this is not a big deal, I just borrowed your mother's reputation."

He was telling the truth, but the four children simply didn't believe him.

Si Niang: "Father, don't you want to teach us?"

Erlang was also annoyed. It was a rare opportunity for him to humble himself and ask for advice from someone he looked down upon the most, but he was so ungrateful as to say that this was not a big deal?
"Dad, if you don't want to teach me, just say so." Erlang waved his hand, signaling his brothers and sisters to disperse and stop serving this stingy guy.

"Hey, hey, hey?" Liu Ji was shocked. He raised his hand to try to keep them, but no one stayed.

Qin Yao said, "Eat first, the food will get cold if you don't eat now." She weighed the two silver ingots in her palm happily and prepared to put them in her pocket.

"Madam!" Liu Ji suddenly shouted anxiously.

Qin Yao looked over unhappily. Liu Ji was a little scared, but he still mustered up the courage to stretch out four fingers and reminded quietly:

"You have six, I have four, so."

Qin Yao sighed, but still gave him a silver ingot under Liu Ji's hesitant gaze.

"Give me ten taels."

Liu Jigang thought that his wife would be generous and give him an extra ten taels of silver, but when he heard the change, he secretly curled his lips and reluctantly took out ten taels of silver from his purse and handed it to her.

Qin Yao received sixty taels of silver. She put the money in her pocket with a satisfied smile and sat down, saying, "Let's eat!"

Perhaps because of the bonus of the money, the family enjoyed this meal very much.

After dinner, it was completely dark.

According to the daily routine of the neighbors in Kuanzhengfang, he washed up and prepared to go to bed.

But Qin Yao's yard was still brightly lit.

Dalang, Erlang and Sanlang continued to write their unfinished homework on the Eight Immortals Table.

They were considered to be transfers into the class and had missed many courses of others. Master Fan specially assigned the three of them homework of copying books so that they could familiarize themselves with the courses they had not learned before.

Sanlang wanted to cry. There were thousands of big characters, and he didn't know how long it would take him to finish copying them. With a sad face, he looked around, occasionally checking on the progress of his two brothers.

It turned out that his elder and second brothers had already finished copying most of the text, but he had not even finished one-fifth of it. He got so emotional that he couldn't hold back his tears.

Liu Ji, who was playing the piano with his daughter, was startled by the sound of "wow".

The father and daughter looked up and saw Sanlang looking up to the sky, crying his heart out. While crying, he did not forget to lower his head to write something. It was both pitiful and funny.

In the front yard, Qin Yao and Awang, who were practicing with Yin Le, looked over when they heard the sound and clicked their tongues twice.

Fortunately, it is not me who needs to learn.

Yin Le, who was lifting the millstone, looked at the people of all sizes in the yard and complained secretly, what a bunch of heartless guys!

Looking at Sanlang who was crying loudly, he decisively decided to let the child grow up freely.

Just cry, you will feel better after crying.

The whole family was in a very good mood. When Si Niang saw that the little brother was crying because of his study, she handed him a glass of water and told him to drink some water to moisten his throat before continuing to cry so as not to make his voice hoarse.

Dalang and Jilang also extended their sincere greetings to their younger brother.

Dalang: "I still have to write after crying."

Erlang: "I won't help you write a single word. Our handwriting is different, and the teacher can see it."

So, Sanlang, you have to rely on yourself!

The two brothers patted Sanlang's shoulders heavily, hoping to give him strength and make him stronger.

With a dull thud, Sanlang fell to the ground. He was so frightened that he forgot to cry.

This child has always been a little silly. He looked around with tears in his eyes. Seeing Sister Le being hit by a double blow from A Niang and Uncle Awang and looking so funny after being exhausted, he actually burst out laughing.

Then she wiped away her tears, got up again, ran to the kitchen and got a plate of cookies baked by Yin Le, and continued to copy the book while eating them.

The night is beautiful, and the courtyard is warm and harmonious.
