Chapter 260: Drinking, playing cards and cursing
Seeing the guards hesitate, Qi Xianguan became angry.
But Qin Yao had helped him out, and Liu Ji was her husband, so she had to give him face.
He suppressed his anger and reminded Liu Ji that he would not fail to give him the due thank-you gift, and asked him not to make such unreasonable demands as becoming his master's disciple again.
Liu Ji didn't care about him. This little brat had no say.
He just stared at Gong Liangliao who hadn't said a word from beginning to end, letting his apprentice get angry while drinking porridge and watching the show.
Qi Xianguan was certain that his master would not be attracted by a country bumpkin like Liu Ji, and he puffed out his chest with confidence.
Gong Liangliao drank the porridge slowly and put the bowl down. Then he looked up at the two people in front of him, one big and one small. He hid the teasing in his eyes and said, "You guys."
"Liu Ji!"
A chilling voice suddenly sounded from outside the tent: "Where's the breakfast I asked you to make?!"
Everyone in the tent looked at Liu Ji, who was holding on to Gong Liangliao's sleeve tightly, and saw that the man who had been holding on to Gong Liangliao's sleeve just now quickly let go as if facing a powerful enemy, picked up the Confucian scholar's robe that was in the way, and rushed out of the tent.
The speed was so fast that only a faint shadow could be seen. I was afraid that if I was half a step slower, I would encounter a catastrophic disaster.
Gong Liangliao only felt a gust of wind blowing past his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, the person was gone, and the fun was gone too.
Liu Ji's voice came from outside the tent, trying to please: "My wife, breakfast is here, here! I took the pot to Brother Shitou to learn cooking from him. The big bones are boiling. Are the children awake?"
"Oh, you're up. I'll serve breakfast right away. Eat more, my lady. We'll set off after you're full."
"But my lady, you look best when you're angry."
Qi Xianguan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Liu Ji was also a henpecked man.
He originally thought that Liu Ji was so flattering to his master that it was annoying, but he didn't expect that he would be so humble in front of his wife.
It's so refreshing and funny!
Master hates spineless men the most. Thinking of this, Qi Xianguan immediately went to look at Master's expression.
I thought the master would show a look of disgust.
Unexpectedly, the corners of Master's mouth actually slightly raised, as if he had discovered something interesting?
impossible!
He must have seen it wrong!
Qi Xianguan shook his head vigorously and looked at his master's face again. Well, gloomy and indifferent, looking down on everything. This was the master he knew. He was indeed mistaken just now.
Patting his chest, the young boy secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Corner of the Taoist temple wall.
Qin Yao's family of six sat around the door of the tent eating breakfast, eating baked bread and bone soup, which was delicious and fragrant.
Sanlang liked to eat soft food, so he tore the pancake into pieces and poured it into the soup, then put it into his mouth in big mouthfuls with a wooden spoon. He ate until sweat appeared on his forehead, and the soup looked delicious just by looking at it.
"What are you doing over there?" Qin Yao asked in a low voice.
Liu Ji munched on a scone, but his eyes were fixed on the tent opposite, without blinking.
Liu Li and Ding Shi just wanted to meet Gong Liangliao but were unable to get in. This made him feel that his hope of becoming a disciple of the great scholar was very great.
"We saved them, it can't be in vain, I have to ask for some benefits." Liu Ji muttered softly.
Qin Yao glared at him and was about to tell him not to be too greedy. Qi Xiangun had already said that he would give a thank-you gift, so that was enough.
Then Liu Ji continued to mutter, "This is the famous Confucian scholar Gong Liangliao. If I could become his disciple, would I still worry about not passing the imperial examination?"
Qin Yao slowly put the last piece of pancake into her mouth, tilted her head, and looked at Liu Ji in disbelief. She was too narrow-minded!
She thought Liu Ji only wanted some gold, silver, yellow and white things, but she didn't expect that he would have such an idea!
"Go and help the old man pack up his things. He is so tactless." Qin Yao decisively pushed Liu Ji, who was ready to move, out.
Liu Ji was flattered, and the bowl of soup in his hand almost fell off. He quickly put it down and pointed at the tents, carriages, pots and pans that had not been cleaned up yet. "My wife, our house is not cleaned up yet. It's not good for me to leave you alone, right?"
Although he asked this, his left foot had already taken a step back, ready to turn around and go to the other side at any time.
After seeing Qin Yao patting her chest and saying that she would take care of this, he walked over to the other side with a "haha" laugh without hesitation, and rushed to do any work that could get him close to Gong Liangliao.
Liu Li witnessed the whole process next to the family of six. He looked at Liu Ji, then at Qin Yao, who smiled and stood up to clean up the pots and pans. He supported Liu Ji very much. He clenched his fists secretly, hating himself for being too thin-skinned.
However, Qin Yao did not have much work to do. After the three brothers and sisters of Dalang finished their breakfast, they took the pots, pans, and other utensils to the spring to wash them.
As soon as they got up, they packed their luggage and stuffed it into the carriage. Then they folded up the tent, led the horses out and put them on the carriage, and that was it.
The sun gradually rose, and seeing that Qin Yao had finished packing, the Ding family and Liu Li, master and servant, also quickened their work.
The Qi family had a large number of people and had already set up the carriage and folded up the tent. They were just waiting for the master to finish breakfast before they could set off.
By the time the sunlight had fully shined, the families were all ready and set off together.
The Qi family walked in the front, followed by the Ding family, and then the Qin Yao and Liu Li families.
Their group consisted of five carriages and more than thirty people. They looked like they were not someone to be trifled with. The refugees they met along the way no longer had the courage to surround them and snatch food from them. At most, some would come forward to beg, holding their children or supporting the elderly.
Liu Ji had not returned to his own carriage since he was sent out by Qin Yao. From the beginning, he squeezed into Gong Liangliao's carriage.
The reasons he found were impeccable.
"The master likes me to help him with his toilet duties. It's inconvenient to stop along the way. Guard brothers, just keep the master safe, and leave the rest to me."
When Liu Ji said this, he looked so proud that his life would be complete if he could serve the master to go to the toilet. Even Qi Xianguan felt that if he rejected him, it would be a bit too cruel for this country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
After all, he just wanted to help his master go to the toilet, what bad intentions could he have!
So Liu Ji sat in Gong Liangliao's carriage.
Along the way, Liu Ji's hearty "hahaha" sounds could be heard from the carriage from time to time, and occasionally one could hear Gong Liangliao coughing, obviously to hold back his laughter, which attracted everyone's attention, curious about what he had talked about with the gentleman.
It was not until lunchtime that Liu Ji got out of the carriage for a while, prepared lunch for his family, and then returned to the carriage to serve Gong Liangliao.
Before leaving, Liu Ji leaned close to Qin Yao's ear and shared with her mysteriously, "Madam, do you know why the gentleman has the title of a weird madman?"
Maybe it was because Liu Ji had just finished cleaning the toilet. Qin Yao felt that there was a strange smell when he was close. She resisted the urge to dodge and asked with a breath held, "Why?"
Liu Ji was disliked by Qin Yao more than once or twice, so he didn't think much about it. He just laughed twice before answering: "Gong Liangliao drank, played cards and cursed!"
