After dealing with the clan leader, Qin Yao came to Liu Dafu's old house.
Yin Le had just returned from work in the cafeteria. She finished her work early today and had some time left. She took out a piece of thick cowhide that she had exchanged for wolf skin and prepared to make herself a belt that could hold darts.
In order not to waste such good leather, Yin Le first thought of the pattern and cut it out with rough paper made of tree pulp.
When I really get the hang of it, I put the paper model on the cowhide. This way I won’t cut it and I can also save some material to make two cowhide purses for my master and Xiao Si Niang.
Yin Le was concentrating on her work and didn't notice Qin Yao's arrival until Qin Yao coughed twice. She looked up in surprise and said, "Master, why are you here?"
Qin Yao walked into the room and said, "Your vigilance is still too low."
Yin Le drooped his eyelids in shame, regretting that he had kept his master waiting for so long. He quickly put down the work in his hands and stood up to pour water for his master.
Qin Yao waved her hand, "No need to bother, just sit down."
"I will leave for the capital city early tomorrow morning and may be away for ten days. During this time, I will leave all the household affairs to you. Can you handle it?"
The news came suddenly, and Yin Le was a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down and nodded heavily, "I can do it."
Qin Yao smiled appreciatively, as if her teacher had not made a mistake in choosing him, and explained the family situation to Yin Le in detail.
The first thing is to pick up and drop off the children from school.
Because it would conflict with the cafeteria's morning working hours, Qin Yao would tell Song Yu and ask him to coordinate it.
The second thing is the matter of laying the floor at home. Old Man Liu has already ordered the materials, so Yin Le doesn’t have to worry about it.
But there will be a lot of people around, and she will have to keep an eye on things at home, especially her bedroom. Qin Yao suggested that Yin Le live directly in her own bedroom for the next ten days.
Yin Le felt a little embarrassed and said quickly, "I'll take the quilt over and sleep on the floor."
Qin Yao nodded. It was just right. She was not used to having other people's smell on her bed.
"There is one last thing. I will leave one key to the warehouse at home for you and Li. The daily necessities are in the outer room. Li has the key and does not need to look for you. But if there is something at home, you can discuss with Song Yu and his wife and go to the inner room to get cash for emergency."
There was not much cash at home, only two baskets of copper coins and one hundred taels of loose silver. She deposited the rest in a money shop.
As for the hiding place of the banknotes, only Qin Yao knew it. If it was stolen, she could only blame herself for her bad luck.
After all, even if Awang was there, he might not be able to stop the thief who stole the silver bills she had hidden.
Qin Yao took the key and handed it to Yin Le, and then added in a low voice: "You and Song Yu's family of three are the only ones left at home. Although their indentures are in my hands, I have known you longer than you, and I trust you more."
Hearing this, Yin Le quickly clenched the small copper key in his hand, straightened his chest and excitedly promised: "Master, don't worry, I promise not to let any trouble happen at home during your absence!"
"I will not fall behind in training. I will strictly follow your standards!"
Looking at the apprentice in front of him who seemed to be full of energy, Qin Yao was very satisfied and patted the young man's shoulder heavily, "Come on, your master is rooting for you~"
Yin Le managed to hold on to his body and avoid being knocked to the ground by his master's slap. He bit his cheek and uttered a muffled "hmm" in response.
Qin Yao picked up the unfinished purse of her apprentice, looked at it, pointed at the closure and said, "Add a wooden buckle."
He put it down, clapped his hands, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
The eager gaze behind me followed all the way until it was blocked by the wall and disappeared.
Qin Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Having such an enthusiastic disciple, it must be quite stressful for her as a master.
In the evening, at the dinner table, Qin Yao told the children that she was going out, and that Senior Sister Le would be responsible for picking them up.
As for Dalang’s martial arts practice on his days off, he can seek sparring with Senior Sister Le.
Even though his senior sister Le might not even be able to beat him, the most important thing was to have her accompany him.
Dalang glanced at Yin Le, who was sitting opposite him and eating madly with his bowl in his arms, sighed helplessly, and accepted it reluctantly.
Erlang has always been self-disciplined, and Qin Yao never worries about him.
The twins now also like to stick to Yin Le and don't feel any pain about this short separation from A Niang.
Before going to bed at night, Qin Yao looked at the quiet children's room and remembered that the children did not cry or make a fuss when she went out this time. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "They have all grown up."
I closed the door, blew out the candle, and was about to lie down on the bed when I caught a glimpse of the heavy wooden box in the room. The curiosity that had been suppressed during the day suddenly resurfaced.
Qin Yao walked to the wooden box, knocked twice, patted it a few times, and heard a sound. It was obvious that the box was not full.
It's so heavy even when it's not full, it must be filled with stones or high-density heavy metals.
Of course, it could also be objects such as bamboo slips and jade.
Qin Yao stared at the palm-sized tiger-head padlock on the wooden box and pondered for half a minute. In the end, she threw away the big knife that she had picked up at some point and gave up the idea of chopping the lock.
Since you have taken other people's money, you must abide by good professional ethics so that your business can last long.
Qin Yao sighed, cut the sword into two parts and put them into the wooden box customized by Carpenter Liu. Then she fell asleep on the bed.
The next day, Qin Yao got up at dawn.
He ate a tray of mushroom and meat buns made by Li, packed a box of fresh and crispy wheat cakes as dry food, and filled a bamboo tube with boiled water.
After packing her luggage, Qin Yao harnessed the carriage and loaded Wang Jin's large wooden box and the two latest edition ladies' boxes that she was going to take to the city.
He put on a bamboo hat to protect himself from the sun and rain, said something to his family, and urged his horse to head towards the county town.
The cargo was heavy and it took more than an hour to arrive outside Kaiyang County.
Wang Jin was waiting at the foot of the city with one man, one horse and two empty boxes.
Seeing Qin Yao driving towards him from afar, Wang Jin finally felt relieved.
According to Wang Jin's idea, Qin Yao would go in front and he would follow behind to ensure that the evidence was safely delivered to Zijing Mansion.
Unexpectedly, before meeting up at the city gate, Qin Yao drove directly onto the official road to Zijing Mansion.
He gestured to him from a distance, "You go ahead," and then never looked at him again.
The two of them seemed like they didn't know each other, but their destination was the same: Zijing Mansion.
Wang Jin's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly realized that she wanted him to go to the front to attract firepower and help her clear the way!
Who is the employer and who is the guard?
Qin Yao whipped the horsewhip, indicating that it didn't matter as long as the evidence could be delivered safely.
Seeing that the carriage was going farther and farther away with no intention of stopping, Wang Jin finally faced reality and rode his horse quickly to catch up.
When the two of them crossed paths, Wang Jin said in hatred, "Qin Yao, you'd better make sure I don't get hacked to death!"
Qin Yao looked him up and down and said jokingly, "Aren't you an expert? You have recovered from your acclimatization problem, but you can't even protect yourself?"
Wang Jin was silent. It was a crude way of provoking someone, but it worked.
