After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

"Aunt."

Da Lang appeared in front of the stable, and Qin Yao just put the saddle on Lao Huang's back.

"Are you going to the city to see daddy?" The young boy asked curiously, with worry in his eyes that could not be concealed, and Qin Yao could see through it at a glance.

How could he not be worried? Liu Ji had not returned home for two consecutive rounds of rest. Apart from sending a coachman to collect living expenses, there was no news at all.

Adults all say that dogs can't change from eating shit, and Dalang expressed 100% concern about this.

He couldn't imagine what terrible consequences would happen if his father continued to eat, drink and have fun outside as before and had no intention of studying.

Qin Yao's calm at this moment, in the eyes of the young boy, is the last calm before the storm.

You never know when it will completely break out and turn the world upside down!

Qin Yao took the horse out and told Dalang, "I'll be back in the evening."

By default, she did go to the city to find Liu Ji.

Dalang hummed, "Then, I'll prepare dinner for you when you come back. There's also meat. I'll make broth slices for us to eat, and add some tofu. Aunt Zhou's house just made tofu this morning."

Qin Yao couldn't help laughing when she heard this long list, "I can't take you there. You can't ride a horse. I don't care if you fall on the way."

As he said that, he patted his little shoulder again, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Dalang wanted to laugh, but almost cried. He was not worried about her, he was worried about his father's life!

"Let's go, go in. The sun is shining brightly. Let's take a nap to recuperate and practice two more words in the afternoon."

Today it is Erlang and Sanlang's turn to go to the water mill to collect the cash box, wash dishes, feed chickens and do housework. Dalang and Siniang should cherish their time to study more when they are free.

"drive!"

Qin Yao pulled the reins, and Lao Huang immediately let go of the girl and ran away.

One person and one horse disappeared on the winding road at the entrance of the village in the blink of an eye, heading towards the county seat.

More than an hour later, Qin Yao arrived in Kaiyang County, paid the entrance fee as usual, parked the horse, and entered the city on foot.

It was already evening, the sun was going down, and the streets were filled with vendors closing their stalls and getting ready to go home.

There were still a few customers in the shops lined up on the street. The small tea stall was the most crowded, and a storyteller sat in the middle. Everyone was reluctant to leave home while listening to the book.

The red lanterns outside the restaurant were taken down by the waiters, lit, and hung up again. The red lanterns illuminated the scene with joy.

The two restaurants were facing each other, and it was a good time to have dinner. The waiters from the two restaurants stood on the street to greet the guests, and would shout when they saw someone walking by.

Qin Yao coldly rejected a waiter who blocked her way, and was about to walk towards the academy when she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from upstairs, and her footsteps suddenly stopped.

The guy who was just frightened by her cold face couldn't help but feel nervous. Why did he stop suddenly?

Do you want to scold him?

Apparently he was overthinking it.

Qin Yao turned around, her ears twitched, and she looked up at the eaves of the second floor of the restaurant. Five or six young men dressed as scholars were leaning on the fence with their backs to the street, drinking from glasses and taking turns composing poems.

When he gets excited, he opens his robe, pulls out his hairpin, and spreads his wild hair, then stands up and dances.

One hand is holding the pipa girl's shoulder, and the other hand is raising a glass to pay homage to the goddess of heaven. She thinks she is an elegant scholar, but others think she is a drunken lunatic.

The fellow travelers clapped their hands and cheered, saying repeatedly: "Wonderful! Master Fan's words are truly wonderful!"

When Qin Yao heard this voice, a chill ran out of her body.

The waiter soliciting customers at the door felt bad, so he raised his head and looked upstairs. Oh, it turned out that it was students from the academy who were drinking and writing poems with Fan Xiucai.

Then why does the lady in front of me look so gloomy?

Could it be that she is the wife of a scholar upstairs?

Thinking of this, the waiter immediately cheered up and was about to ask, when a group of scholars upstairs were already walking downstairs arm in arm.

They stayed here from morning to evening. They must be tired of it now and want to go to the next show to continue having fun.

The man thought to himself, which scholar will this lady go to find out? It will be lively in a while.

As a result, he turned around expectantly and said, "Huh? Where is that lady just now?"

"Lady?"

The most handsome one among the scholars was suddenly shocked!

He raised his eyes and looked towards the waiter, his face smelling of crimson wine, "What wife? Whose wife?!"

The boy quickly pointed to the north and said, "Here, what about that!"

I thought there was a good show to watch, so why did I just leave?

Isn't it someone's wife among these scholars?

Just as a gust of wind blew over, the smell of alcohol dissipated for three minutes. The handsome scholar looked at the back of the man striding away like a meteor, and a thunder struck in his heart with a "bang"!

"Brother Liu?"

His companion waved his hand in front of him, laughed and asked, "What are you looking at? Have you seen Xian'e?"

Liu Ji looked at the hands in front of him in a daze, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked up at the familiar back again.

After just a short delay, the sky darkened and the figures became blurry.

But he could still recognize that person's figure even if it turned into ashes!

Just when I wanted to confirm again, the city gate slowly closed, and I saw only one person riding a horse running out of the city and disappearing into the dark green mountains.

"Liu Ji?" Fan Xiucai saw that others could not call him, so he stepped forward personally, put his arms around Liu Ji's shoulders, and said with a drunken smile:

"Let's go, let's go to Xingwang Casino, and my brother will take you to experience it!"

What casino?

What experience do you have?

Liu Ji's mind was confused and his heart was trembling.

Looking at the darkening night, the red lanterns hanging on the restaurant opposite seemed to be the monster's evil eyes, a bloody mouth that wanted to swallow him up, chewing blood and flesh, and preventing him from rebirth!

The wine was not strong. Fan Xiucai looked drunk, but he was not completely drunk.

Seeing that Liu Ji was so attentive and eager before, but suddenly ignored him, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

He immediately turned cold and asked again: "Liu Ji, are you going to Xingwang Gambling House or not?"

Liu Ji was confused and flustered at the moment, but he still remembered not to offend these people. He was so anxious that he suddenly bent down while holding on to a pillar on the side, covering his stomach, showing a look of pain.

"Oh no, no, man! Man! Where is the toilet? Take me there quickly!" he shouted anxiously.

The waiter hurriedly stepped forward to show him the way. Liu Ji, while holding his stomach, said apologetically to Fan Xiucai:

"Brother Fan, you go first, I will come later. Oops, I can't help it anymore, hurry up!"

The waiter was really afraid that he would be pulled in front of his store, so he hurriedly quickened his pace. Seeing that he was walking crookedly, he turned back to support him. The two of them rushed into the backyard together, and a broken wail came from far away:

"Ouch! Pants, my pants."

All the scholars in front of the restaurant frowned, as if they felt that the air was filled with a different smell. They subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, and ran away with Fan Xiucai in their arms.

Liu Ji held his nose and stayed in the latrine for two quarters of an hour before coming out. The so-called diarrhea was all made up.

I had completely sobered up from the wine and walked all the way back to the academy. Looking back, I felt scared.
