Chapter 694: Daily Life of a Servant
It was cloudy in the early morning.

After a while, a strong wind came.

The sky, which had just begun to shine, suddenly became as dark as night.

It seemed as if a hole had been opened in the sky, and heavy rain poured down on people's heads.

The three Dalang brothers, who were about to go out to the private school, hurried back to the corridor, but the splashing raindrops still wet their shoes and trouser legs.

Dragging her small bookcase and preparing to go to the women's garden, Si Niang turned around and shouted into the house, "Dad! It's raining!"

Liu Ji had just finished reading in the morning, stretched himself and went out to see the sky. It was dark and the rain was heavy and fast, and he was afraid that it would not stop for a while.

The four siblings looked at their father anxiously, knowing that if they didn't go out, they would be late for school.

This is Si Niang's first day going to the women's garden, and she doesn't want to leave a bad impression on the teacher.

But the rain was so heavy that you would get soaked even with an umbrella.

The little girl was so anxious that she was pulling the book box around in the corridor. The wheels made a rumbling sound, which made her brothers even more anxious.

Liu Ji hushed his daughter, "Your mother is still asleep, don't make any noise, Dad will think of a solution."

Si Niang stopped immediately, with a frustrated expression as if saying oh no, I forgot.

Liu Ji found it funny and nodded at the four people in front of him, "Wait, let your Uncle Awang drive the car."

Awang, who was still feeding the horses in the backyard, heard the noise in the front yard. Without waiting for his master to come over, he had already led the horses out, pushed out the carriage, and set up the carriage.

He put on a straw hat and raincoat, led the horse to the front door, and without shouting, the four brothers and sisters waiting in the corridor immediately came over cheering, holding umbrellas to avoid the heavy rain.

The third and fourth daughters were young, so their two elder brothers helped carry the school boxes. The four siblings rubbed against each other and rolled into the carriage.

No matter how heavy the rain is outside, you won't get wet inside.

It’s just a pity for their Uncle Awang, who has to withstand all the wind and rain outside.

What about Liu Ji?
He was sitting calmly in the open hall, waiting for the luxurious carriage from the Imperial Master's Mansion to pick him up.

As a distinguished guest, you don't have to worry about not being able to get to work on time due to heavy rain.

On the contrary, if I come to the Imperial Master's Mansion late and delay the teacher from enjoying the delicious breakfast made by his beloved disciple, and he gets angry, someone will be punished~
Speaking of the fact that Sikong Jianzong was scolded so harshly by Gong Liangliao, Liu Ji found it unbelievable.

You say Sikong Jian is very good to his teacher, but that’s not necessarily true.

Putting people under house arrest is in itself the greatest malice.

Besides, this unfilial disciple had already been unilaterally expelled from the teacher's apprenticeship. The two had different political views and were on the verge of a showdown when they met.

but!

The teacher hit him, but he didn't fight back.

The teacher scolded him, but he didn't talk back.

Not only that, in the face of various unreasonable demands from the 'new servant', as long as the teacher was willing to cooperate with the treatment and recuperation, they would actually let it go.

If it weren't for the strong murderous intent that Si Kong Jian often inadvertently revealed, Liu Ji sometimes couldn't help but wonder whether this guy was captured by his charm and loved him deeply.

"Huh——" Just thinking about it gave Liu Ji goosebumps all over his body.

He quickly shook his head to put aside this ridiculous thought, and took a gulp of goat milk to calm himself down.

In the midst of the heavy wind and rain, a carriage stopped in front of the gate on time.

It really fulfilled the saying, rain or shine. Liu Ji thought that he might not have to go to the Imperial Master's Mansion to work today, so he had to give up his luck and said to Yin Le who stayed at home,
"When your master wakes up later, remember to tell her that I'm going to the Imperial Master's Mansion."

Yin Le: "Okay, Master, I understand."

After getting the response, Liu Ji opened his umbrella, rushed into the rain, hurriedly got into the carriage, and started his day as a worker.

When we arrived at the Imperial Master's Mansion, the heavy rain subsided.

As soon as Liu Ji got off the carriage, a man dressed as a servant came up to him with an umbrella.

This is the follower sent to him by the Imperial Master’s Office, Anzi.

An Zi held an umbrella for Liu Ji and hurried him into the mansion, saying, "You are finally here. The heavy rain today came later than yesterday, and the master already looks unhappy."

Liu Ji asked: "Have you bought the vegetables I asked you to buy?"

An Zi nodded, "I've already bought them. They're all in the kitchen. I've washed them and am waiting for you."

Passing by the Peacock Garden, Liu Ji didn't have time to tease the golden peacock that was spreading its tail as if it was dying, so he just passed by and headed straight for Puyuan.

In order to meet his requirements, the Imperial Master's Mansion built a kitchen in Puyuan overnight.

However, due to time constraints, it was just a shed surrounded by bamboo mats on three sides.

It rained heavily all morning, and the shed was holding on in the wind and rain, looking a little shaky.

But Liu Ji couldn't care less about that at this time. Not only Si Kong Jian was afraid of his teacher's temper, but he was too.

Without even having time to go into the house to say hello to the teacher, I rolled up my sleeves and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Anzi was a diligent and perceptive man. He always remembered that the servant in front of him was a distinguished guest, so he bent down and started to light a fire for him.

Soon, the aroma of frying food wafted from the kitchen - Liu Ji planned to make a bowl of egg fried rice and crucian carp soup for the teacher.

The people in the room seemed to smell the fragrance and walked to the door and looked towards the kitchen.

Liu Ji looked up inadvertently and was disappointed. Why didn't Sikong Jian go to the morning court?
The two men looked at each other, Si Kong Jian stared at Liu Ji warningly, and then stood in the corridor, clasped his hands, and looked at the kitchen intently.

Liu Ji reasonably suspected that he was really hungry and even he wanted to eat!
I imagined a villain in my heart and thought it was common, so I slapped him hard several times.

Liu Ji didn't dare show any emotion on his face. He worked hard to flip the pan and concentrate on making his own fried rice.

He was not stupid. It was strange enough that Sikong Jian did not attend the morning court today, and he stared at him with murderous eyes. Who knew who was the blind man who provoked him, and he, Liu Saner, had to bear the brunt of the anger.

When it comes to kitchen matters, Liu Ji is second to none in the family, and only Awang dares to claim to be first.

In just over a quarter of an hour, the crucian carp soup had already boiled and was served together with the egg fried rice. Liu Ji and An Zi each took one portion and brought it into the house.

Gong Liangliao got up early. Ever since Liu Ji came to serve him, the old man moved from the bed to the wheelchair - perhaps he wanted to live longer, so that his beloved third son would not die of filial piety because of him.

Liu Ji felt that the doctors at the Imperial Medical Bureau were quite capable. The damaged skin and flesh on the teacher's leg had been scraped off and was now wrapped with medicine, and was getting better day by day.

"Teacher, it's time for breakfast." Liu Ji brought the food directly to the desk in front of Gong Liangliao.

The old man was reading a book. He put it down when he heard what was said. He looked up at him unhappily and said, "Do you want to starve me to death? Look at what time it is now, and you still want to have breakfast?"

He thought it was almost time for lunch!

Liu Ji was not panicked. He pointed to the sky outside where it was still drizzling and foggy. "Teacher, you can't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame God. Oh, and the coachman from the Imperial Master's Mansion. He knew that the road would be difficult to drive on because of the rain, but he didn't come to pick me up an hour or two earlier."

Gong Liangliao didn't want to listen to his excuses, so he raised his hand to signal him to shut up, then took the boiling hot fish soup that Liu Ji handed to him and took a few sips to warm his stomach.
