Tsk tsk tsk, I have to be more careful in serving him in the future. Liu Ji reminded himself in his heart while leading the anxious Qin Feng towards his own camp.

"I heard from your husband that you have no appetite?" Qin Feng asked immediately when he saw Qin Yao. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or the sky was too dark at dusk, but she really looked thinner.

"What do you want to eat? I brought some dates from Wangcheng and I'll make you some soup." Qin Feng thought to himself, "I didn't buy any chicken, duck, fish or meat in the city before, so it won't taste good if I don't have any dried meat to stew."

Qin Yao was confused. She noticed Liu Ji scratching his head and looking up at the sky with a guilty look on his face. She glared at him fiercely and said to Qin Feng, "I have a good appetite and I can eat anything. Just go and do your thing and don't worry about me."

He pointed at Uncle Seven and the others and waved his hand, telling them to hurry over.

The road on the plain is very wide and there is not much shelter on all sides. They can only block the wind by leaning against the small hills. The car is loaded with valuables. It will be very troublesome if they encounter robbery, so protection must be in place.

Qin Feng thought she was being polite, so he said nothing more. He rolled up his sleeves and grabbed Liu Ji, "Let's go to the river to catch some fish."

Liu Ji staggered as he was pulled by him and cried out "Ouch!" He thought weakly, fish stewed with red dates must be very unpalatable, right?

However, how could he let go of this opportunity to get close to his elder brother-in-law alone? In the blink of an eye, he was smiling and bragging about how good he was at catching fish.

There is a big river beside the official road, more than 200 meters away from the camp. The river is 20 to 30 meters wide, winding and flowing quietly on the plain, nourishing the people on this land.

The river bank is covered with lush aquatic plants and many flying birds, and occasionally smaller animals roam among them and prey on birds.

A river with birds is likely to have fish, shrimps and other creatures. Qin Feng has a good idea. He wants to catch two fresh fish for A Yao to nourish her body. After such a tiring journey, how can it be enough to eat only dry food and hot rice soup?

"Let's walk more slowly tomorrow. We can reach the inn near Dayi in the evening and rest. Everyone can have a good meal and take a rest." Qin Feng instructed Liu Ji while using his sword as a harpoon to dig along the river bank.

I was afraid that Qin Yao, this hardworking woman, would only think about getting on with her journey and miss the post station again.

Liu Ji agreed with a sigh. Seeing Qin Feng about to step on the slippery stone, he quickly reached out to help him, "Uncle, be careful!"

Uncle?

Qin Feng looked at him suspiciously, "Qin Yao told you everything?"

Of course, I didn't say anything. But!

Liu Ji nodded, "I know everything."

As for whether someone told him or he discovered it himself, let Qin Feng figure it out himself. He is not lying.

Qin Feng sighed. Although he didn't want to acknowledge this brother-in-law, seeing him showing his sincerity to him, this man was really... Even his flattery didn't seem vulgar. He did whatever he wanted with such an infuriating face!

"How old are you?" Qin Feng began to find out about his family's financial situation.

Liu Ji felt that this was a sign of his uncle's approval, so he took it a bit more seriously and answered with a fist: "Sorry, sorry, I'm one year older than my uncle."

Qin Feng hummed and pointed to the water plants next to him, signaling Liu Ji to continue looking for fish. The two chatted casually.

"Are all your children studying?"

"Thanks to my wife and the eldest princess, the children all went to free school and completed two years of study."

Qin Feng frowned: "What about the rest? No money to study?"

Liu Ji shook his head. "Not really. Once we settle down in the capital, we will let the children continue to go to school. If we can't find a suitable school, we plan to hire a teacher to tutor them at home. After all, this is a matter of great importance to the children's lives, and we dare not delay it."

Qin Feng nodded, he was quite knowledgeable. But the cost in the capital was not as high as that in his country.

"How does your family make a living? Do you have any plans when you arrive in the capital? There are eight people in your family. You have to continue taking the imperial examinations, and the children have to go to school. They also need a place to live. It will cost a lot of money."

Liu Ji raised his hand and said, "I don't have to worry about this. My wife is in charge. She takes care of external affairs and I take care of internal affairs. She takes care of major matters and I take care of minor matters. I just need to read my books, take care of the family and the children's studies, and serve my wife." He looked very proud!

Qin Feng thrust his sword in front of him, "What did you say?!"

Liu Ji continued to dig in the water plants calmly. It was just a sword, so he didn't panic. He proudly asked Qin Feng, "Brother, do you know about the magic book box?"

Qin Feng nodded. Of course he knew about this fashionable gadget that he had seen in the capital last year. It was both good-looking and useful. Although he was not well-educated, he bought one for the sake of novelty.

Other book boxes cost a few hundred coins, or at most two taels of silver, but this magical book box costs five taels of silver!

"Does my uncle know about the Lady's Box?"

Qin Feng nodded again. "The beautiful hand box that the noble ladies in the capital are flocking to? It's from Fulong Commercial Company. They said that the princess is using their book box. My confidant in Sucheng wrote to me and asked me to buy her one. I don't know how much it costs. If it's not expensive, I'll buy one for her and A Yao to play with."

Liu Ji glanced at him jokingly and said, "Just buy it for Miss Yanhong. She has as many as she wants. She's tired of it. The lady's box is not too expensive. It's one hundred taels each and you have to order it one or two months in advance to get it."

"But since we are a family, my uncle's business is my brother-in-law's business. I will ask my wife to reserve two for your confidant."

Qin Feng didn't have time to be surprised that Liu Ji actually knew Yanhong's name. He guessed in his heart that it must have been the big mouth of the second steward who spread it to him.

He asked anxiously, "What do these magical bookcases and ladies' boxes you mentioned have to do with Qin Yao?"

Liu Ji smiled modestly, "It's nothing, they are just items produced by the factory run by my wife."

When Qin Feng heard this, he was happy at first. A Yao also understands business?

Then he was depressed again. No, she was Qin Yao.

But to be famous throughout the country is also very impressive.

Qin Feng drew his sword, patted Liu Ji on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "You are so lucky."

Thinking of the days when he was beaten and threatened with death, Liu Ji immediately wanted to retort: ​​Do you want this blessing?

But when the words come out, it becomes: "That is ~"

In fact, his wife is a very nice person. As long as you don't make her angry, everything will be fine.

The last ray of sunset disappeared, the vision dimmed, and Liu Ji was still rummaging in the grass.

Suddenly, a pair of bright green eyes appeared before my eyes.

Liu Ji used one third of a second to figure out that it was a snake, and another third of a second to determine that he and his foolish uncle behind him could not handle it. He used the last third of a second to yell skillfully and freely: "My wife, save me!!!" (End of this chapter)
