Chapter 659: No Fight, No Acquaintance
Gong Liangliao was lying on the bed, he opened his eyes and watched Sikong Jian walking around his room as if he was looking for something, but he didn't find anything, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I thought to myself that if you could find this person, the leader of the three evils in Kaiyang County, the master of beheading, and the legendary evil ghost lady would not be called Qin Yao!
When Sikong Jian turned around, he saw a flash of pride in Gong Liangliao's eyes, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
But he pretended nothing happened and asked with concern: "I heard from the servants that you are finally willing to eat these days?"
Gong Liangliao snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Si Kong Jian sneered: "Teacher, are you planning to never speak to me again from now on? In the past, you said that I was the smartest child in the world and your most satisfied disciple. Now it seems that people change."
He was talking to himself, and the person on the bed didn't respond at all. Si Kong Jian suddenly felt like he was covered in a quilt. He couldn't breathe and was very irritated.
Very good, you are worthy of being his teacher. You can always easily stir up his emotions and make him angry.
Sikong Jian frowned and stared at Gong Liangliao until his eyes became sore, but Gong Liangliao didn't even open his eyes to look at him. Sikong Jian snorted angrily and walked away.
Since the teacher is unkind, don't blame him for being unfair. Liu Ji, right? Then let him see how capable this disciple who can satisfy the teacher is!
"Sun Jiang!"
"I am here."
"Go write a recruitment letter and send it out immediately after I finish praying for the blessing." Si Kong Jian ordered.
Sun Jiang asked doubtfully, "What kind of person do you want to recruit, sir?"
Sikong Jian said: "We need to hire a male servant who can take care of you. He must be a Juren or above, handsome, and no older than 30 years old."
When Sun Jiang heard these conditions, he thought to himself, who would come from a good family to be a servant?
However, if the person being served is the great scholar Gong Liangliao, there would probably still be scholars coming to him because of his reputation.
Sun Jiang could more or less guess what his master was thinking, so he nodded quickly and agreed.
There was still half a month left before the end of the prayer period, so he prepared the recruitment letter first and would have people post it once the prayer period was over and the gates of the mansion were opened.
I just don't know where the person the master wants to recruit lives, and Sun Jiang is a little worried that the recruitment letter will not be delivered to the person the master wants.
Thinking of this, I have to use some ingenuity so that all the people in the city can know about it, and by the way, win a reputation for the national teacher as a respectful and filial person.
As the sky gradually darkened, in Yongtongfang under the east wall, the adults began to shout at the top of their voices for their children who were out in the fields to come home.
In front of the Qin Mansion’s gate, a group of children were playing “Eagle Catches Chicken”, and Dalang and his four siblings were among them.
These days, my parents go out early and come back late. When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes the king. The four brothers and sisters have no one to supervise them and have been playing crazy.
There are a lot of children in Yongtongfang, and the living conditions of every household seem to be similar. They can eat until they are 70% full, and they can also have meat during festivals and New Year.
But there are only a few families with children who go to school, and the rest are mostly children who cannot afford to go to school. They wander around the streets and alleys in the market during the day, making it very lively.
If they smell the aroma of meat from someone's house, they would go together to climb over the wall or sneak through the back door of someone's house, greet the neighbors in a friendly manner, and if they met a kind person, they could even get a piece of meat.
The four brothers and sisters of Dalang got to know these kids through fighting.
The whole day at home, people either cooked meat or made cakes. The aroma wafted far away, making the children very greedy.
In addition, someone from the Qin Mansion suddenly moved in, and each family was actually quite curious about who was living there. With the parents' gradual indulgence, the children completely let themselves go.
That day, he smelled the tempting aroma wafting from the mansion again, so he called together four or five friends with ideas to climb over the wall.
The wall of the Qin Mansion was only two meters high. There was an old locust tree growing in a corner of the wall, and its branches spread to the top of the wall.
The children climbed up the Qin family's wall along the tree trunk.
At that time, Dalang was practicing swordplay in the yard with the small sword given to him by his uncle. When he heard rustling noises on the wall, he thought that a thief was so bold as to steal in broad daylight, so he immediately squatted under the wall to wait.
As soon as the children climbed onto the top of the wall, Dalang pointed a sword at them and they were almost frightened to the point of falling off the wall.
The noise caused Erlang, who was still forcing the twins to review their lessons, to come running over immediately. The four siblings trapped the man against the wall and shouted to Uncle Awang and Senior Sister Le that there was a thief.
The kids quickly shouted that they were not thieves, they just came here following the scent.
Awang took a quick look at it, then turned around and continued to deal in the goat milk he bought from nearby herdsmen under the city gate.
Yin Le jokingly drove the group of children out of the yard, asked them to come in through the main gate, brought out a plate of freshly baked egg cakes, handed them to Dalang and his four siblings, and asked them to treat the children to the cakes.
So, after eating the cake, Dalang and his two siblings became the new popular people in Yongtongfang.
Now the children in the neighborhood would come to the gate of Qin's mansion from time to time and shout: "Liu Dalang, Liu Erlang, Liu Sanlang, come out and play, let's go catch crickets!"
There were also two girls of eight or nine years old, who called out in a cute voice: "Liu Si Niang, we picked some red stamen flowers, do you want to paint your nails?"
Sometimes, when the four brothers and sisters were still doing the homework assigned by their father, they would send Sanlang out to politely decline.
Sometimes when Dalang and Si Niang were free, they would come out and play with them.
Anyway, the place they were going to was not far away, just within this neighborhood. Now that they knew the way home, they were not afraid of getting lost.
How could children coming out of the mountains not love to run and jump? This small mansion could not restrain their wild hearts at all.
What's more, when parents are not at home, the happiness is doubled!
Only a trace of sunset glow remained hanging in the sky, smoke rose up, and the smell of rice drifted in from all directions, reminding the children who were playing outside to focus and go home.
Hearing his father's full-throated roar, the eagle-like Yongtong kid Wang Ahu stopped chasing the 'chickens' and said helplessly, "I have to go home!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran. His father was a butcher, and very fierce, so he didn't dare to delay.
Even without the eagle, the chicks were still not satisfied and planned to choose another eagle to catch them.
Unexpectedly, an old lady holding a large spatula rushed out from the door diagonally opposite and grabbed the two children away.
From a distance, one could hear the two captured "little chickens" making a fuss and begging, "No, no," and "Play for a while longer."
As the oldest one, Dalang could only wave his hand helplessly at the group of little guys in front of him and said, "Go away."
His stomach growled and he wanted to go home for dinner.
After watching the children from each family disperse, Dalang waved his hand and was about to call his three younger ones home when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the alley.
They could ride horses and came to Yongtongfang, where all the people were civilians. They were either female guards patrolling nearby or officials from the Southern Yamen.
Of course, there is another possibility -
The four siblings looked at the tall horse that was getting closer and closer, and shouted in surprise: "Uncle is back!"
