Chapter 529 Take away in one litter
Chapter 529: Take away in one piece
“Wha, what?”
Qi Xianguan suspected that he had just heard wrongly.
But seeing Liu Ji continue to read out the content of the article he had written in a recalling tone, the young man's expression completely collapsed, his eyes were as wide as bells, his mouth was wide enough to eat two eggs, his shoulders slumped, and he looked completely frightened.
Awang, who was concentrating on cooking, was interrupted by the two brothers.
He raised his eyes and looked at the three masters and apprentices opposite him. Liu Ji, who was calmly recalling the contents of the examination papers with a calm heart, Gong Liangliao who was indifferent and focused on picking fish bones, and Qi Xianguan, who could no longer maintain his dignified temperament and turned into a sick young man. , I thought to myself, it turns out that the scientific examination can still be played like this.
Then if he wrote "My life-and-death bond with King Feng and the Holy Queen", would he be able to win a prize?
Liu Ji finished speaking about his scientific research article. Seeing that his little senior brother was still looking dull, he secretly sighed in his heart for the poor child and manually closed his open mouth.
“It’s because the teacher is so good at knowing things and taught his disciples such useful methods that he won the exam this time.”
Liu Ji stood up, looked at Gong Liangxiao gratefully, raised his glass, "Disciple, here's a toast to the teacher! Thank you very much, teacher for your advice."
Having said that, I drank the wine in one gulp, feeling very refreshed.
Gong Liangliao curled his lips indifferently, said yes, said nothing more, and just concentrated on eating.
Qi Xianguan looked at his teacher and then at his junior brother. His heart was shaken for a long time. He didn't expect that the teacher was so unruly.
Liu Jichong blinked at the young senior brother, touched the young man's head, and perfunctorily soothed the young man's shocked heart.
After dinner, Liu Ji asked: "The results have come out. When does the teacher plan to return?"
"Return?" Gong Liangliao held a tea cup filled with wine and raised his eyelids to look over, his eyes filled with anticipation, "Back to the village?"
Liu Ji nodded as he should, "Yes, I have been away from home for a long time. My wife must have missed me very much. I can't bear to ask her to wait any longer."
Hearing this, Gong Liangxuan almost spit out the wine he had just put in his mouth.
But he is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves after all. He swallowed the drink in his mouth, put down the tea cup and glanced at Liu Ji's worthless look, "I think you are already lovesick."
Liu Jijun’s face turned red, and he lowered his long and curled eyelashes, “How can there be~”
Qi Xianguan finally found his sense of existence as a senior brother. He stood up seriously and patted Liu Ji's shoulder, "Junior brother, your studies are the most important thing. If you don't accomplish your great cause, you have to put aside your love for your children first."
Liu Ji took away the little hand on his shoulder, not intending to discuss the feelings between these adults with a little kid with no hair.
He and his wife are very loving. He has never seen his wife treat another man the way she treats him!
His body is now covered with marks from her hammering!
Liu Ji snorted, turned to look at Gong Liangxiao, and continued the topic of the return trip.
Gong Liangxiao really wants to go back to Liujiacun, but Qi Xianguan is still in trouble.
Hence, the master and the apprentice, who were in agreement, looked at the little Qi Xianguan together.
Qi Xianguan is very excited. Who doesn't like to go out for a wander? Moreover, he has not returned to the Lotus Courtyard this year. It is a small world he built for himself. However, "I have to go back to my ancestral home first."
Gongliang’s eyes were deeply colored.
Liu Ji's eyes flashed with danger, like a hungry wolf. Anyone who prevented him from returning to the village to see his wife would be killed without mercy!
Qi Xianguan changed his tone and said, "But after worshiping our ancestors, we can go back to the Lotus Courtyard and stay together until the year before."
Liu Ji nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, "Then let's set off the next day."
Gong Liangliao had no objection, neither did Awang, nor did Qi Xianguan, Shitou and others.
After the date was set, everyone suddenly felt that time was tight and they hurried back to the house to pack their luggage.
Liu Ji's luggage was not much, and Awang's was even more simple, just a change of clothes.
On the other hand, Qi Xianguan and his party were very large, with many people and many things. They only had one day to pack up, so it was even more hectic. But returning home is like an arrow, and no one has any complaints.
After Liu Ji packed his luggage, he remembered something, put out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter home explaining his return date and the fact that he had won the exam.
If the wife knew that he was so promising, she would never call him an incompetent waste.
She was not sure, but she could still cling to his arms with admiration, saying that he was her great hero, and telling him to do good things for the people in the future, and to be a great man in the sky.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji's heart beat wildly twice. He quickly put down his pen, covered his face with his hands, and sank into the darkness. It took him a while to slowly control his excitement.
Ah Wang, who was in the same room with him, leaned against the door. He glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and his face twitched violently. He was a bit pretentious.
Awang moved his eyes away and looked at the moon in the sky. It was a quarter moon at the beginning of the month, and a little bit of the crescent moon was pointed.
The sky in Yingtianfu always seems to be covered with a layer of mist, and even the moon looks much dimmer.
Awang suddenly remembered the moon in the village. Even if there was only one crescent, it was always shining brightly.
I don’t know if Dalang and his children made moon cakes for Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
“It’s written!”
Liu Ji put down his pen, blew the letter paper, and pressed it with an inkstone. When it was done tomorrow, he took it out and asked someone to help him send it home.
Take off your clothes and go to bed, pull up the thin quilt, close your eyes and fall asleep with a smile.
A Wang sighed sadly, extinguished the candle, and fell asleep on his own bed.
At dawn the next day, the two of them left everyone behind and went out early.
Let someone send the letter away first, then find a small restaurant to have breakfast, and spend the rest of the time planning to stroll around Yingtianfu.
Liu Ji weighed the money bag. The copper plates and pieces of silver inside collided together, making a pleasant sound.
He raised his genius once, and next time Ying Tianfu may be next time.
This is a rare opportunity. Picking out some local specialties and bringing them back can also make your family happy.
Having made up his mind, Liu Ji beckoned and asked Awang to join him, preparing to let him be the delivery horseman.
However, he waved for a long time, but there was no movement behind him.
Liu Ji looked back impatiently and saw Awang standing blankly in front of a stall selling jade carvings, staring blankly at a nest of jade rabbits on the stall.
There were six rabbits in the nest, two big and four small. The big ones were as big as goose eggs and the small ones were as big as bird eggs. They were all light blue and crystal clear, and they didn't look cheap at first glance.
Seeing Liu Ji approaching, Awang pointed to the six jade rabbits, with a faint smile on his lips, and introduced them one by one, "Me, Madam, Da Lang, Er Lang, San Lang, and Si Niang."
Liu Ji glared at him, pointed at the six jade rabbits, and said viciously: "Me! Madam! Da Lang, Er Lang, San Lang, and Si Niang."
A Wang didn’t argue with him, and said sincerely: “Buy it and take it home.”
Liu Ji was very impressed by his knowledgeable attitude. He pointed his nostrils at the stall owner and asked for a price.
The boss glanced at the two men and thought that there was probably something wrong with these two grown men. They couldn't recognize people from just a few pieces of jade.
But there was business to do, so he said, "Ten taels of silver."
Liu Ji secretly took a breath and said, "Forget it." Hesitating for a second longer is disrespectful to his own pocket!
Not thinking about it, Awang touched his waist, took out ten taels of silver ingots, put them on the stall, and took away the six jade rabbits in a nest.
Liu Ji was shocked. He didn't know how clean Awang's pocket was, but he actually took out ten taels of silver without blinking. Where did he get the money?
Liu Ji strode to catch up with Awang and asked in shock: "How come you have so much money?"
Don’t be the answer he least wants to hear.
