Qin Yao waved her hand to signal Liu Ji to move his head away from her desk, folded the letter with the ink already dried and put it into an envelope, lit a candle, sealed the envelope with wax, and put it aside.

Then he stood up and walked behind Liu Ji, saying:

"We came to Beijing for two purposes. The first is to prepare for the next spring exam in advance."

"Second, you are here to visit your teacher Gong Liangliao. These are the only two things you need to do. The rest is just asking for trouble."

Liu Ji stood up immediately, "Yes!"

He clearly only had two things to do, so why was he suddenly sent by Sikong Jian to receive the King of the Northern Barbarians?
Liu Ji suddenly had an epiphany, and excitedly stood up and tried to grab Qin Yao's hands. Even though she easily dodged them, he did not give up, and grabbed her sleeves, saying happily:
"My lady, you are so wise. After your suggestion, I suddenly know what to do."

"How to do it?" Qin Yao looked at him suspiciously. Did he realize it so quickly?

Liu Ji said: "Fuck the Northern Barbarian King Chan. How can I, an ordinary citizen, be in charge of the diplomatic affairs of two countries? I'm done with it!"

The more he thought about it, the happier he felt. Tomorrow he would go to Sikong Jian to resign from this job, so as to avoid having to hang around in front of Princess Huhe Tixiang all day, which made him nervous, fearing that his charm would spread and cause unnecessary bloodshed.

Qin Yao asked tentatively: "You said you don't want to do it, so you don't want to do it? What's the reason?"

Liu Ji chuckled but didn't say anything. "We'll know tomorrow morning. My lady, you must be hungry. Let's eat. I can smell the aroma of Awang's cooking."

She rubbed her stomach, walked out of her room and went to the front hall.

He said he would know tomorrow, but in fact he hasn't figured it out yet.

So, what kind of excuse should he find?

It's hard to think of a reasonable way to make people feel that he did it on purpose. It seems that I have to eat more tonight to replenish my brain~
Qin Yao looked at Liu Ji who left happily, and raised the corner of his mouth expectantly. He wanted to see what solution Liu Ji could come up with tomorrow morning.

But based on her understanding of Liu Ji, it was most likely not a good strategy, as it would harm the enemy by 800 and hurt one thousand of his own people.

There came a noisy noise from the Dalang brothers and sisters at the gate. They had all returned from school, and the four kids together were as powerful as eight hundred ducks.

Qin Yao took the snacks and wine that Liu Ji had "offered" in her left hand, picked up the jar of red dates that her brother had given her in her right hand, and walked out of the room.

When they passed the second courtyard, he told Yin Le, "Go take the letter on the desk in my room and send it to my brother."

Yin Le agreed and took action immediately to pick up the letter first. When she went out to Nanshi to meet Liu Fei the next morning, she would take the letter with her and ask someone to send it.

After handing the letter to her apprentice, Qin Yao felt relieved and went to the front hall with her hands full of food. As soon as she entered the door, the four children in the family turned their heads to look at her as if they had radars installed on their heads.

Seeing her arms full of paper-wrapped pottery jars, with a tempting aroma wafting from them, people came up to her one after another.

"Mother, let me help you get it!"

This is Dalang, who is considered to be relatively sensible. He took the heaviest pottery jar from Qin Yao's hand.

"Aniang, Aniang, let me help you get these fragrant paper packets."

This is Sanlang. He took the oil paper package, sniffed it, and immediately turned back to Qin Yao in surprise to confirm: "Mother, it's food!"

After Qin Yao nodded, Erlang immediately reached out to help his younger brother. The two brothers pushed each other, and finally after being yelled at by their father Liu Ji, they obediently put the food on the dining table.

Si Niang was standing in front of the table, looking here and there. She was patient and slapped away the little brother's hand, saying fiercely, "Don't eat secretly. Wait until everyone is here and we can eat together."

Sanlang had no choice but to swallow his saliva and said, "Oh." Suddenly remembering something, Dalang winked at Si Niang, who hurried to the small flower room next to the dining room and took the things on the table over there.

Qin Yao and Liu Ji looked over curiously. The little girl brought over two ears of rice and happily presented them as treasures.
"Look, Mom and Dad, the rice is ripe this year and growing so well!"

Liu Ji asked in surprise: "Where did you get the rice ears? There is not even half an acre of farmland in this city."

Qin Yao remembered that the little girl said yesterday that their girls' school had an agricultural class today, and they would take the students to a farm outside Beijing for a field experience in the morning.

For this purpose, Yin Le specially made a light little veil hat for the little girl last night.

"Have they returned from the farm?" Qin Yao asked as she took the two golden rice ears and pinched the grains on them. Each grain was full and plump. This year would be another bumper year.

Si Niang nodded. She was just showing off her trip to the farm to her three brothers.

This kind of thing only happened in their girls' garden, but not in Fan's private school.

"The farm is very interesting. The old lady who looks after it is very nice. She not only took us to see the first rice fields that matured this year, but also took us to pick watermelons from her fields. The big, red watermelons were picked from the old lady's farm and sold."

"Most of the watermelons we buy in the city come from my mother-in-law's house." Si Niang raised her little head proudly, looking very proud of it.

Liu Ji looked at Qin Yao in surprise and said, "These city people are interesting. Things that can be seen everywhere in the countryside are taken as lessons in the city."

Si Niang glared at his father, "Not everyone can distinguish the five grains when they are born. The dean took everyone to the farm to let everyone know the hard work of farming and to learn to cherish food. This is a good thing."

Qin Yao touched her daughter's head in agreement, "Fourth Mother is right, we should be humble and not use what we know to make fun of those who don't know."

Erlang suddenly interjected in a low voice: "But in the city, if we, the people from the countryside, ask questions about the tall buildings and carriages, they will just laugh at us."

Liu Ji, Dalang and Sanlang nodded heavily and agreed deeply with this.

Si Niang also sighed like an adult, but there was still light in her eyes, and she said with a bit of confidence:

"But not all city people are like this. Xu Jiajia will patiently answer many of my questions and she won't make fun of me."

This was strange. The whole family looked at Si Niang. Didn't you two fight to the death before?

Si Niang stuck out her tongue and laughed, "We are reconciled again. We are good friends now." She couldn't stop showing off in her eyes.

The whole family laughed and were happy that Si Niang had made friends.

Awang and Yin Le brought all the food to the table and joined Qin Yao and her son in the discussion about the differences between people in the capital and Liujia Village.

Everyone took turns looking at the two rice ears that Si Niang brought back, and as they looked at them, they all fell silent.

Qin Yao whispered, "Counting the days, the crops in the village have already started to be harvested."

The eight members of the family looked up and looked at each other, all of them breaking down.

They missed the golden rice fields and the peaceful little village.

To what extent do you think?

Liu Ji didn't know about others, but he had already thought that even if he saw Liu Youcai, whom he hated the most, he would hug him tightly! (End of this chapter)
