After the contract was written, Liu Ji carefully blew the ink dry before handing it to Qin Yao with both hands, saying with a smile, "Madam, please take a look."
Qin Yao took it and looked at it. After confirming that there was no problem, she handed it to Bai Shan and confirmed it again. After confirming that there was no problem, the two of them signed on the paper.
In rural areas, people don’t pay much attention to the notarization step, so it is not done.
It won't have much effect even if it is done. The laws are not perfect and there is still a privileged class. Explicit regulations are not as binding as underworld rules.
Bai Shan came prepared. He immediately put down two hundred and forty taels of silver, took the contract, and left with satisfaction, carrying more than six hundred stationery gift boxes.
Liu Ji held it in for a long while, and finally had the chance to say: "This is another big order. Madam, your stationery factory is getting better and better."
Qin Yao raised her hand to interrupt, crossed her arms and asked, "What do you want to do? Just tell me!"
"Hehe~" Liu Ji didn't want to do anything. He just wanted Qin Yao to remember the promise he had made before. "My dear, you said before that you would build a study room for me, and plant plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum at the door. Did you remember?"
Qin Yao curled her lips and said, "I haven't forgotten." No way!
Qin Yao took the contract to discuss the new production line with Carpenter Liu, but found that Liu Ji had followed her. Qin Yao said impatiently, "I know. I'll build a study room for you when I get back from the city after this busy period."
"But!" Qin Yao changed the subject and reminded: "You have to prove to me that you deserve the new study room, otherwise, forget it!"
After saying that, she waved her hand, signaling Liu Ji to move aside so as not to affect her speed in making money.
Liu Ji watched Qin Yao walk away, and angrily punched the air. He put his hands on his hips and imitated Qin Yao's tone in a sarcastic tone: "You have to prove to me that you deserve a new study room~, being rich is really amazing~"
Who are you looking down on!
He was going to prove to her that he not only deserved a study room, but even ten or a hundred!
In the evening, Qin Yao returned home after arranging affairs at the factory. As soon as she entered the house, she found that the atmosphere at home was a little strange.
The noisy children were silent and all of them were practicing calligraphy and doing their homework in the room.
Qi Xianguan and Gong Liangliao were in the main hall, each sitting in a corner. The younger one was reading a book, and the older one was playing chess with himself.
Awang was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and his servant and maid were helping him.
It should have been lively and bustling, but it was all very quiet, with everyone communicating through gestures and eye contact.
Qin Yao glanced around and was about to ask where that useless Liu Laosan was.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw a man in white clothes walking out from the backyard with a bunch of wild daisies in his hands.
His long black hair was completely covered, reaching past his waist and hanging down below his body, fluttering in the wind. He looked handsome and elegant.
The handsome man walked slowly towards her holding flowers. Taohua looked at her affectionately and sang as she walked:
"There is a beautiful woman, her name is Yao——"
"Her neck is like a cicada's, her teeth are like gourds. She has a beautiful forehead and eyebrows, a charming smile, and beautiful eyes. I can't forget her after seeing her..."
After presenting the flowers, Liu Ji stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "What do you think of the song "Beauty Yao" that my teacher and senior brother composed for me today? Isn't it wonderful and lingering?"
Qin Yao took the flowers and smiled meaningfully. For a study room, she really worked hard.
Everyone in the kitchen, children's room, and main room pricked up their ears.
Liu Ji raised his hand and gently brushed away the naughty hair that was blown into his eyes by the wind, and smiled like a flower.
Qin Yao looked down at the wild daisy in her hand, then looked at the man in front of her who exuded a charming manner, threw the flower into his arms, and chuckled, "Put it in and put it in my room."
Liu Ji immediately responded with an "Ah!". When she smiled at him, he became excited and said happily, "My lady, if you like to listen, I will write poems and sing them to you every day in the future."
After saying that, he ran like the wind to find a vase, put the flowers in it, carried it into her room, and placed it in the most conspicuous place in the room. Then he leaned out of the window and smiled brightly at her.
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and glanced him up and down, said "tsk tsk" twice, smiled, rolled up her sleeves, turned around and went to the water tank to fetch water to wash her hands and prepare for dinner.
No wonder loyal ministers have always been framed by treacherous ministers since ancient times, and those in power are always unable to see the bad side of those treacherous ministers.
How can he be a treacherous villain?
It is obvious that he is a person who wholeheartedly writes poems and music for me to make me happy!
Awang walked out of the kitchen carrying the dishes. When he passed by Qin Yao who was standing by the water tank, he saw the extent to which the corners of her mouth were raised. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, she shook her head, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Let's eat!"
All the people who were watching the show returned to their seats instantly. They were not active in eating and had problems with their thinking. Now that they have watched the show, it is time to eat.
At the dinner table, Liu Ji actively served food to Qin Yao. He had learned the skill of observing and reading people's expressions from the maids in the Qi mansion at some point. While taking care of Qin Yao, he also did not forget to act nice and please his teacher.
Being alone, he managed to liven up the atmosphere, which was very harmonious.
After dinner, Qin Yao went back to the house to get the silver. When she looked up from the corridor, Liu Ji immediately appeared in front of her.
"What do you want, madam?" Liu Ji wiped the sweat on his forehead from sweeping the floor and wiping the table, and said happily, "I am very willing to serve you, madam!"
Qin Yao suddenly felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye today than usual, so she didn't keep him in suspense and handed him the three taels of silver she had taken.
"From the look on your face, I know you are impatient. I will be going to the capital the day after tomorrow and may not be back for three to five days. You can take the money and find someone to build your study."
Anyway, he didn't go to the county academy anymore, and with Gong Liangliao teaching at home, he had more free time than before, so he was just sitting around doing nothing.
I also participated in the renovation of the old house and gained experience, which made me a good supervisor.
When Liu Ji saw the silver, his eyes lit up and he patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, my lady, I will do it well!"
I roared in my heart: I can finally have my own new house!
He was trying to please others in this way, which made Gong Liangliao and Qi Xianguan frown, angry at him for not fighting back.
But when he thought of the last time Liu Ji was beaten to the point of nearly dying, he could only mourn for him in his heart.
Upon learning that Qin Yao would be away from home for a few days, the three brothers and sisters of Dalang felt a little depressed.
Qin Yao comforted him, "Your father is still here. When I'm not around, you can go to him if you have any problems."
Before Liu Ji went to the academy, she was not at home, but he still managed the household affairs in order.
As for the housekeeper, Qin Yao still has confidence in Liu Ji.
Besides, Awang is watching over us, so nothing will go wrong.
"Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow. I also need to prepare." Qin Yao urged with a smile.
Dalang and Erlang nodded, as if she was going to leave tomorrow, and went back to the house, looking back every few steps.
The twins were happy because they could sleep in the same room with Qin Yao. They went into the room obediently, lit the lights, and waited for their mother to come.
There were guests at home, so Qin Yao specifically told Gong Liangliao and Qi Xianguan that she would be away for a few days. They expressed their understanding and told her not to worry about them.
Qin Yao left some more silver for Awang in case of emergency, and then went back to her room to sleep.
