"It's such a beautiful spring day, so it's a good opportunity for your teacher to test you and see how you have done with your homework over the past few months." Gong Liangliao suddenly said.
The sun was scorching hot above his head and Liu Ji felt a sudden chill on his back. Looking up, he saw dark clouds rolling in and he could faintly hear the sound of thunder coming from the clouds.
"Okay." Liu Ji pretended to be calm and smiled confidently at the teacher.
Gong Liangliao lowered his eyes slightly, a playful gleam in his eyes.
This day was destined to be a day of torment for Liu Ji.
Qin Yao leaned against the back door, holding the sunflower seeds sent by Carpenter Liu. She ate them while watching Liu Ji sweating profusely and answering cautiously. She felt that the seeds in her hand smelled even better.
I don't know if he was lucky or if his hard work for the past three days and three nights was worth it, but he actually passed this sudden test smoothly.
Gong Liangliao couldn't help but open his eyes wide and look at him again. Is this still the Liu Saner who only knew how to make jokes?
"What have you eaten recently?" Gong Liangliao asked curiously.
Liu Ji turned his back and took a deep breath, wiped the sweat off his forehead, then turned around and answered while recalling:
"Pork, fish, wolf meat, and these common vegetables in farmers' homes, teacher, why are you asking this?"
Gong Liangliao did not answer, but lowered his eyes to think about which of these foods could nourish the brain.
The results showed that none of them were brain-boosting foods.
But this is even stranger.
"San'er, why does your master feel that your brain is working better?" Gong Liangliao asked suspiciously.
Liu Ji said "Ah?" and then laughed heartily, "Hahaha, teacher, you are kidding, my brain has always been very useful!"
Gong Liang choked and said, "Okay, let's leave it at that."
Gong Liangliao said calmly: "I used to think that your brain was not as good as your brother's, so the homework I prepared for you was not difficult. Now that your brain has improved, then..."
Before Gong Liangliao finished speaking, Liu Ji suddenly squatted down holding his stomach, "Ouch! Oh no! I must have had an upset stomach from eating this morning!"
"Awang!" Liu Ji shouted at the top of his voice.
Awang flashed in front of the master and his apprentice, holding a long-handled gourd ladle for watering manure in his hand, and asked seriously, "What do you want, Master?"
When Liu Ji smelled the odor of feces and had not rested for three days and three nights, he almost orgasmed.
He suppressed the churning in his stomach, told Awang to take good care of Gong Liangliao, and then ran away with the stool.
Only Awang, who was holding a dung ladle, and Gong Liangliao, whose beard was sticking up with anger, were left staring at each other.
Qin Yao glanced towards the toilet a few times, but there was no sign of Liu Ji. He had already slipped back into his room.
The test was passed, and Liu Ji felt relieved. He fell into bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Yao curled her lips in amusement, threw away the melon seed shells in her hand, and walked towards Awang and Gong Liangliao.
"Sir, do you feel sleepy? Do you want to go back to your room and take a nap?"
Gong Liangliao waved his hands. He was in good spirits and did not feel sleepy.
After not hearing any movement from Liu Ji for a long time, he asked, "What happened to San'er?"
Qin Yao joked, "When he knew that Mr. was coming back yesterday, he was so happy that he didn't sleep all night. Now he has a stomachache again, so he probably went back to his room to catch up on some sleep."
"How about I push you to the edge of the field for a walk?" Qin Yao asked tentatively.
Gong Liangliao first sighed for Liu Ji, and then nodded to Qin Yao. It just so happened that he also wanted to see the scenery of the mountain village in spring.
Qin Yao signaled Awang to continue feeding his vegetable seedlings, and Gong Liangliao could just leave it to her.
Awang looked at Qin Yao with gratitude, then quickly turned around and went back to the vegetable garden, busying himself with manure for the newly planted peas.
Qin Yao pushed Gong Liangliao to the fields for a walk, then pushed him to take a look at the lotus courtyard. She casually mentioned that the abandoned land next to it had been bought by someone.
Gong Liangliao asked: "Who is it?"
"Song Zhang." Qin Yao was afraid that he didn't know him, so she added, "The county magistrate of Kaiyang County."
Gong Liangliao sneered and stopped asking. He knew why the other party chose this position.
In the past, he might have felt unhappy.
But now, I have let it go. Everything in the world has its own destiny, so I just let it be.
"I won't see guests." Gong Liangliao instructed.
Qin Yao nodded in agreement. She knew in her mind that using the great scholar as a gimmick was one thing, but the other party wanting to meet the great scholar had nothing to do with her.
Gong Liangliao is the one who makes the decision. He can see whoever he wants to see, and if he doesn't want to see someone, she will help him stop them.
However, Gong Liangliao hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but worry a little more, and asked tentatively: "Does he ask you for anything?"
Qin Yao smiled lightly, "I guess so."
Gong Liangliao paused for a moment and asked again, "Did you meet anyone in the city before the New Year?"
Qin Yao was stunned. If the old man hadn’t mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about General Mu Ling.
However, since the old man asked this, he must have known that Mu Ling had extended an olive branch to her.
Awang once said that Gong Liangliao's legs were crippled because of the eldest princess.
But Gong Liangliao's tone of questioning now did not sound like that of questioning an enemy.
Qin Yao was a little unsure of what he meant, but she answered truthfully: "I did meet General Mu Ling. She wanted to recruit me into the Guards, but I refused."
When Gong Liangliao heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at her. His cloudy eyes were full of seriousness, and his tone became cold. He said:
"You and San'er are just two ordinary people. Just stay on your own path. It's best not to touch these other things, no matter how tempting they look."
"I know you are a smart person and you have abilities, but now is not a good time for you to display your abilities." Gong Liangliao reminded seriously.
He had never mentioned his legs in front of outsiders, but at this moment, he pointed at his two broken legs and warned Qin Yao:
"My two legs are a bloody lesson. I don't want you and San'er to repeat my mistakes!"
"The Princess's Guards, it does sound impressive now."
"But what happened in the court is also the family affair of the Baili family. No matter who outsiders are loyal to, as long as the one who sits on the throne is still surnamed Baili, those who have offended the Baili family will still die a miserable death!"
Thinking of this, Gong Liangliao sneered, "The He family is too impatient and reckless. Don't be influenced by them. When San'er passes the imperial examination, you can also get an imperial decree and enjoy wealth and glory."
Qin Yao was surprised. She didn't expect Gong Liangliao to tell her so much from his heart.
Since the old man treated her sincerely, she would naturally return his sincerity and hurriedly thanked him.
However, she disagreed with the latter sentence.
Qin Yao sneered and said, "Sir, if this world did not leave a way for women to move forward, women could also earn this imperial decree, this glory and wealth, and they would not need to rely on anyone."
Gong Liangliao was shocked when he heard this. He turned around and took a deep look at the woman who was pushing the cart behind him. There was a scornful smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she didn't care about the whole world and was frivolous and wanton.
The familiar feeling that made him feel uncomfortable came back again. Gong Liangliao gritted his teeth and said angrily, "They are all crazy!"
