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

Chapter 733 I’m Tired

"My wife!"

Qin Yao heard Liu Ji's loud shouts from a distance.

He sighed silently in his heart, but did not go out immediately. He calmly picked up the letter in his hand and continued reading.

It’s a letter from Qin Feng.

He had returned safely to Wangcheng. As soon as he got home, he wrote a letter to her and asked the escort agency to send it to her as soon as possible. He also brought a jar of large red dates, saying that the women in Wangcheng loved to eat them and they were good for beauty and skin care.

Qin Yao looked at the small ceramic jar beside the table, lifted the oilcloth on it, revealing a jar filled with dried red dates.

She grabbed two grains in her hand, ate them while spreading out the paper, grinding the grains and picking up the pen to write a reply to her brother.

Qin Feng's letter was concise, and her reply was even simpler, with only a few lines: Brother, I have received the dates, and I am fine. The letter was sent during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I wish you a happy holiday in advance.

Finally, she added: If you have any difficulties, just ask and I will definitely help you.

After finishing writing, he put the letter paper aside. Just as he put away his pen, the door was pushed open by Liu Ji.

"Madam, I'm back~" Liu Ji smiled and strode in.

He found the dried dates in the ceramic jar on the table, and the letter paper that Qin Yao had left to dry on the table. He walked over to take a look and said in surprise, "Is there a letter from my uncle?"

I searched everywhere, expecting to see the good things that my uncle had sent with the letter, but after looking around, the only thing I saw was the date jar on the table.

Qin Yao smiled secretly. Of course her brother not only brought her a jar of dates, but also a box of silver ingots, but he had asked her to put them away.

Qin pointed to the pottery jar and motioned Liu Ji to try it. The dates in Wangcheng seemed to be sweeter than those in other places.

She grabbed another handful. Although she didn't know whether the so-called beauty-enhancing propaganda was exaggerated, it seemed that after eating a few more, she felt better.

As the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart, happy people always look good.

Liu Ji felt a little disappointed because he couldn't find the good things his uncle sent him.

But he quickly put this disappointment behind him, gave Qin Yao a mysterious smile, and began to take something out from the sleeves of his wide robe.

First, there was a palm-sized wine pot, "carvings of the Yellow Crane Tower!"

Then he took out a small paper bag, "Pork with lotus root, white jade glutinous rice cake, and lotus seed fruit made by the best chef in Kyoto"

There were also three silver pumpkins from the old craftsman's silver shop, which he voluntarily handed over. He pushed them all in front of Qin Yao like offering treasures, and waited expectantly to see her surprised expression.

But there was no surprise, but she was astonished. Qin Yao looked him up and down and asked curiously, "How did you hide so many things?"

Liu Ji waved his hand proudly, "Don't worry about this, just tell me whether you are happy or not. Look, there are delicious food, drinks and fun things here, and I haven't forgotten your share, my lady!"

After saying that, he proudly put his hands on his hips.

There is no other man in the world as good as him!
Qin Yao really couldn't help but laugh at his boasting. She reached out and flipped through the paper packages. Although they were already cold, the aroma of the remaining food filled her face, tempting her appetite.

But she did not touch the snacks. She just picked up the small wine flask, uncorked it and took a sip. A rich and mellow aroma permeated her heart and went straight into her lungs.

It is worthy of being a famous wine from a famous building, and its purity is much higher than the wine available on the market.

Qin Yao is not a wine lover, but at this moment she couldn't help thinking that if this were paired with a plate of braised beef in soy sauce, it would be absolutely delicious with a sip of wine and a bite of meat.

The small wine flask can be held in one hand. He held it in his hand and sniffed it gently, but he was reluctant to take it away. "Tell me, what trouble have you gotten into again?" Qin Yao narrowed her eyes and savored the aroma of the wine, and asked casually.

"My lady, what you said is too rigid." Liu Ji sat down opposite her and explained seriously: "I always remember your teachings, how could I get into trouble?"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yao opened her eyes and looked over. His guilty face was clearly reflected in her black pupils.

Liu Ji smiled awkwardly, "It's not a big deal, actually. If you want to blame someone, blame Si Kong Jian for arranging me to serve those northern barbarians. The customs between the two countries are always a little different, so there was just a little misunderstanding."

"But, I can assure you, my lady, this matter will never be blamed on me!"

Who asked him to be sent from the Imperial Master's Mansion?
It was perfectly reasonable for Prince Chan to blame Si Kong Jian for his dissatisfaction.

"But today, that guy Sikong Jian really scared me!" Liu Ji said in an exaggerated tone.

Qin Yao frowned, "What do you mean?"

Liu Ji then told them about how he had 'accidentally' left the villa early, causing the northern barbarians to have a small misunderstanding between him and the imperial teacher.

"I had just stepped off the carriage when Sun Jiang invited me over. He must be well-informed. He must have secretly planted spies around me to monitor our every move."

Liu Ji patted his chest. He felt that Si Kong Jian was a terrible person.

But this time, such a terrible person not only did not blame him, but also praised him for doing a good job, so as to prevent others from misunderstanding that the National Master's Mansion was close to the northern barbarians.

"My lady, Si Kong Jian said that someone wanted to use the northern barbarians to kill the teacher. What do you think is wrong with this world? The teacher is an old man who is almost buried in the ground. Who did he offend?"

The more Liu Ji spoke, the angrier he became. He slammed the table and stood up. "Can't they tolerate an old man spending his twilight years in peace?"

Qin Yao's brows furrowed more and more. Why did Sikong Jian say these words to Liu Ji?
"And there's that guy Si Kongjian!"

Liu Ji said angrily and fearfully, "Didn't he lock up the teacher and use him to death? We are enemies, and he told these things to the enemy, as if he cares about the teacher."

If he really cares so much, why doesn't he release the teacher from Puyuan?
They had to lock the person up in that small yard and sent three layers of guards to watch him day and night. This is not the way to treat a death row prisoner.

"Bah!" Liu Ji spitted fiercely, "You have bad intentions! You are just a hypocrite!"

Qin Yao clicked her tongue twice and jokingly said, "You seem very excited to find out that the Imperial Master actually cares about Mr. Gong Liang."

Liu Ji excitedly retorted: "How am I excited?"

Qin Yao glanced at him indifferently. The volume is so loud, aren’t you excited?
Liu Ji: "."

"Ah~" He sighed heavily, sat down again, put his head decadently on the table, and muttered:

"My lady, why are all the people in this city like a mystery? They are impossible to solve and understand."

Suddenly I really want to go back to the countryside.

Liu Ji rarely felt depressed, because in his world, there were always countless new things dangling in front of him, keeping him eager to chase them forward.

But at this moment, he really felt tired.

"My lady, I am so confused. What on earth are we going to do in Kyoto?"

Liu Ji tilted his head and thought about it, and found that there was a vast expanse of white fog in front of him and he could not see a way out at all.
