Chapter 594 My name is Liu Ji, remember
The new county magistrate woke up after a night's sleep, and the old servant Wen came to the back hall of the yamen with a hot breakfast.
"Village Chief Qin, the master ordered me to bring some food over."
The old servant's voice suddenly stopped, because he saw an inappropriate scene in front of the desk in the back hall, and his old eyes suddenly widened.
The village chief Qin he was talking about was sitting lazily cross-legged on a table covered with a quilt. His clothes could not be said to be untidy, but they were very messy.
Behind her was Mr. Liu, who was holding a small mirror in one hand to look after his wife and combing her hair with the other hand with skillful technique.
The intimate and loving scene of the couple in the room suddenly appeared in the bright and open back hall. Old servant Wen was not at all prepared and stood frozen at the door for a moment, not knowing whether to go in or back out.
The couple heard the voice and looked over. They looked at each other, and the couple's eyes were calm, but they found him strange.
"This is breakfast. Please have breakfast first, Village Chief. I will come back later. Your Excellency has woken up. I will come back later to take you two to see Your Excellency."
After putting down the breakfast, the old servant Wen ran away in a hurry.
Liu Ji looked puzzled. He tied the cloth on Qin Yao's head, restored her hair to 80% of its original style as yesterday, and asked her to look in the mirror to see if she was satisfied.
"It's okay, just passable." Qin Yao was barely satisfied, but her craftsmanship was far inferior to Yin Le's.
She got up, tidied her clothes that were messy from sleeping, and opened the breakfast left by the old servant Wen. There was fresh hot soy milk and fried dough sticks as a side dish, and the portion was very large. I guess he had specifically asked about her appetite before coming.
Qin Yao was very happy to have a full meal. She signaled Liu Ji to stop looking at his face and come over to eat. After eating, she could see the county magistrate and finish her work early and go home early.
As the aroma of food wafted over, Liu Ji reluctantly put down his small mirror, combed his hair with a small wooden comb, and had a delicious meal with his wife.
As for why he was on the ground when he woke up instead of on the table covered with a quilt, smart people never take the initiative to cause trouble for themselves, so just let it go with the wind!
Old servant Wen estimated the time and turned back, bringing the couple to the former Song family mansion.
This house was prepared by the government for the county magistrate and his family. The previous owner had left, and only two new county magistrates came. The house was empty, deserted, and quiet.
Following the old servant, I came to the flower hall in the main courtyard. The new owner had just arrived and the place had not been decorated yet. There was only a set of tables and chairs for guests and a pair of flower stands. Wen Changli was sitting in the main seat waiting, and his complexion seemed to have recovered.
Qin Yao and Liu Ji went inside to pay their respects to the county magistrate, but they were called before they finished paying their respects.
It was dark and windy last night, and she fainted later. Wen Changli had no idea what Qin Yao looked like. But now he could see her face clearly. She was cool and beautiful, strong but not fat. It was hard to associate her with a strongman.
But the breakfast that was delivered was enough for four or five people, so when the two of them sat down, Wen Changli immediately asked Wen, "Did Madam Qin have enough breakfast?"
Qin Yao nodded, "I'm full. Thank you for the breakfast you prepared. It's very filling."
Wen Changli glanced at her waist and abdomen. She was wearing a belt and looked just like an ordinary person, only narrower and thinner. If he didn't think it was impolite, he would have wanted to ask her where all the food she ate went.
But to be honest, none of this matters. What matters is that we were safe and sound last night on Liaofeng Mountain thanks to the other person.
Wen Changli winked at the old servant, who understood and brought the thank-you gift that he had prepared early this morning to Qin Yao and his wife.
"Thanks to Madam Qin for helping my master last night, this is a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants. I heard that Madam Qin and Liu Juzi are a loving couple, so my master specially selected this pair to show his love. I hope you don't mind."
In fact, this was a pair of jade pendants that Wen Changli hurriedly changed after returning from the back hall.
Previously, he had only prepared a piece of jade ring, but just now his old servant came back and told him that Village Chief Qin and her husband were extremely affectionate, and they were so intimate that they tied their hair and dressed neatly in broad daylight without anyone around, which almost embarrassed the old servant to death.
Therefore, giving a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants to a loving couple can be considered as making the couple a perfect match.
Wen Changli felt that his gift was quite thoughtful and was secretly looking forward to the recipient's reaction.
He thought that the couple must be both excited and shy, and would probably smile at each other affectionately and then stand up to express their gratitude.
Unexpectedly, the hall suddenly fell into silence.
In fact, Liu Ji was very happy about this gift, not because of any meaning, but because he thought the jade was of good quality and must be valuable.
But! After secretly glancing at the evil woman beside him who showed no emotion at all and even looked a little disgusted, he had no choice but to hold his hands tightly and remain silent.
"Madam Qin, are you dissatisfied?" After waiting for a long time and not seeing any reaction that met his expectations, Wen Changli finally couldn't stand the strange silence anymore and took the initiative to ask to break the deadlock.
Qin Yao sighed lightly, stood up, and said seriously: "My Lord, it's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that it's just a small favor, and I'm not worthy of such a valuable gift. I'm just worried."
Hearing this, Liu Ji's eyes widened instantly. It's you, Qin Yao, who is worthy of being called a master. You are a master at retreating in order to advance. It's really great!
Wen Changli was stunned. Seeing Qin Yao pushing the gift back with a determined look on her face, he was very surprised.
Qin Yao pulled Liu Ji up and bowed, "Sir, now that you are safe, my mission is also completed. There are still many things to do in the village, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying this, he turned around and strode out.
Liu Ji was stunned for a moment. Wasn't he supposed to retreat in order to advance? Why did he really leave?
He hasn't even spoken a word to the adults yet!
But since the head of the family had left, he, a small soldier, had to leave too. Liu Ji had no choice but to look back every few steps and shout to the new county magistrate: "The night rescue at Liaofeng Mountain, my name is Lord Liu Ji, remember it--!"
He shouted all the way to the door, and only stopped when he was sure that the other party could no longer hear his voice.
Qin Yao had already walked four or five meters away. Liu Ji hurriedly caught up with her, complaining, "My lady, what are you talking about? Favors are favors, and gifts are gifts. Even if you take the gifts, the master will definitely remember our favors. Why do you have to pretend to be noble? I think the pair of mandarin duck jade pendants are of good quality and have good meanings. They are worth more than ten taels of silver."
Qin Yao suddenly stopped when she heard a loud noise. Liu Ji almost bumped into her and quickly stepped back. He stared at her in horror and asked weakly, "Madam, what are you doing? Did you drop something?"
Qin Yao was so angry at his cowardly look that she laughed and sneered, "He only brought a carriage and an old servant, which shows that his family is not wealthy. Why did you ask for his things for that little bit of money and let him think that you have done enough for him? Just let him remember this favor forever."
She saw that the village head was already quite old. If he abdicated during his three-year term, the favor she had left with Wen Changli would be of great use.
