Chapter 767: All Thanks to My Wife’s Support

Liu Ji received the gift inexplicably.

When Ma Yang got up, the two of them continued walking forward.

Liu Ji couldn't help but be curious. He took a look at the patched bookcase strap on Ma Yang's shoulder and asked tentatively:

"Brother Ma has also been elected, why are you still in such embarrassment?"

He won't talk about others, but he himself, under the lady's strict selection criteria, also selected three wealthy families.

If there were no conditions, there would only be a few civil servants in the county, and the wealthy people would have already crossed the threshold of Ma Yang's family.

So Liu Ji felt even more puzzled when he saw Ma Yang being so poor.

Ma Yang didn't hide it, anyway, sooner or later the other party would know about living together.

Moreover, the host and hostess of the house were kind enough to take him in, and he did not hide the reason for his benefactor.

So, he told Liu Ji that his ancestors had no savings and had a lot of debt from studying before, but now they had just paid off the debt.

Ma Yang looked at this three-level house that could be called magnificent in his home county, and sighed with envy in his eyes:

"It's rare to see a wealthy farmer like Mr. Liu."

Liu Ji raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it common?"

Ma Yang shook his head sincerely, "It's rare. It's even rare among people who are from farmers."

But the reason why it is rare is because it is rare for a farmer to reach the capital.

He comes from a poor family and has no connections. Even if he is born with talent, he may die on the way to Beijing to take the exam.

Liu Ji: "I'm sorry, I all rely on my wife's support."

Ma Yang was surprised, "Huh?" and thought to himself: I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be a freeloader?

Liu Ji had long been accustomed to this kind of look. He was not ashamed of it and was deeply proud of it.

He straightened his back and asked out of curiosity: "Is Brother Ma getting married?"

Ma Yang smiled bitterly, "I'm ashamed that my family is too poor to afford the betrothal gift, and I haven't gotten married yet."

Liu Ji glanced at him up and down and nodded, "That's right. Brother Ma has no money and looks. It's really difficult to get a wife."

Ma Yang: "." It hurts my heart!

"In short, being able to meet Mr. Liu and Mrs. Qin and being rescued by Mr. and Mrs. Qian must be a blessing that Qian has accumulated in his previous lives."

Ma Yang solemnly said: "If I am in high school in the future, I will never forget the kindness of my husband and wife in saving my life and taking him in!"

Liu Ji laughed awkwardly and thought to himself, let's wait until you don't run away after knowing the true identity of me and my senior brother.

When the guest room arrived, Yin Le had already arranged everything. The lights were on, the charcoal pot was burning, and all the utensils were clean and tidy, with a fresh fragrance.

Ma Yang had long been exhausted from the journey, and as soon as he entered this warm and comfortable environment, he felt sleepy.

Liu Ji also yawned. Adhering to the principle of troublesome others but never himself, he pointed to the courtyard opposite and said:

"My senior brother and Shitou live right across the street. If anything happens, just go find them."

After saying that, he asked Ma Yang to get up early tomorrow and go to the kitchen to help Awang prepare breakfast for the whole family, and then Liu Ji left.

"Master Liu!" Ma Yang stopped him.

Liu Ji turned around impatiently, "What are you doing?"

Ma Yang was a little embarrassed and asked about the Yamen that Qin Yao had just mentioned.

Liu Ji shouted, thinking it was nothing, and gave Ma Yang a reassuring look.

"After breakfast tomorrow, I will take you to find my younger brother Lu Xiaofeng. Jingzhao Prefecture Yin is his uncle. I will definitely find your wallet!"

Ma Yang was extremely grateful, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Liu and your younger brother Lu Xiaofeng, Mr. Lu!"

"Why are you so polite? Please call me Liu Ji from now on." The eldest master is the proper name for Awang, so he would be unhappy if an outsider calls him that. Liu Ji thought narcissistically.

Awang who was in the stable: Thank you, sir!

Since he could remember, Ma Yang had never slept for more than three hours.

In order to study as much as possible, he only slept for two and a half hours a day.

He doesn't need to do any work at home, he just needs to study.

In order to live up to his family's hard work, he devoted all his energy to studying.

Two and a half hours was the bottom line he set for himself.

Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes today, the sky was already bright.

Ma Yang was so frightened that he sat up from the bed. The warm and clean quilt slipped from his body, and a stream of air that was not particularly cold hit his chest. Only then did he realize with hindsight that he had now arrived in the capital.

I am currently living in the guest room provided by my benefactor.

The brazier in the house is still warm, and the charcoal fire covered with ashes can burn all night.

There is a ventilation bucket on the bed, so that the air in the room can escape, but the cold wind from outside cannot blow in.

So you don’t have to worry about being suffocated to death if you burn charcoal indoors at night.

Ma Yang stared at Feng Dou for a while, but he didn't know that this was the masterpiece of the mistress of the family.

I thought it was a good item only found in the capital city.

There was sound of sweeping in the room opposite, and Ma Yang quickly got dressed and got out of bed.

Opening the door, it was Young Master Qi's sturdy guard Shi Shitou who was cleaning the courtyard.

Qin Yao's family has no servants to serve them, so they have to do their own work in each house.

The stone is now available for cleaning, sewing and mending!

Ma Yang nodded and said hello to Shitou, then headed towards the kitchen.

He felt ashamed to live in such a nice house and just help with cooking.

Hearing that the four young masters and young ladies in Mrs. Qin's family would be on vacation tomorrow, Ma Yang planned to prepare children's books before going to bed tonight and start making up their homework for them early the next morning.

In the kitchen, Awang had already lit a fire and was kneading dough.

Ma Yang came to help, but he was not good at these housework, and was finally sent by Awang to feed the horses in the stable in the backyard.

Fortunately, although he had never ridden a horse, feeding the horse only required grabbing ready-made grass and throwing it into the trough.

Ma Yang completed the task very well, and cleaned up the horse manure and other things by the way, then washed his hands and returned to the main hall to have breakfast with everyone.

The children had already gone out to school.

They were tired of eating at home, and always liked to buy breakfast at the breakfast shop outside.

Qin Yao let them do it, and it could save Awang some trouble.

Qin Yao's family did not have the system of superiors and subordinates, and even Qi Xianguan and his servants were also guests at the host's convenience. Shitou now sat at the table to eat with everyone.

After a breakfast with a relatively relaxed atmosphere, everyone was busy.

Qi Xianguan and Shitou went to the martial arts training ground to practice swordsmanship. They did not study this morning-because Liu Ji wanted to take Ma Yang to the government office to find a money bag.

It was also quite boring without students to teach.

Yesterday, Qin Yao said that he should have a balance between work and rest, and Qi Xianguan took her words to heart.

He had indeed pushed Liu Ji a little too hard during this period, so it was just right for him to relax these few days.

As for Qi Xianguan himself, he had an extraordinary memory and could remember everything he saw.

There was no book in the family collection that he had not read, and his knowledge reserve was huge, so he did not need to worry about the Spring Examination at all.

Before, in order not to think about the death of his teacher, the boy used this method of teaching his mentor and apprentice to divert his attention.

Now the teacher has been gone for more than a month.

He had to learn to accept reality.

Qin Yao looked at the boy's mature eyes that exceeded his age and sighed softly.

When the old man was alive, he always hoped that this disciple could learn from Liu Ji's "letting go of himself and making things difficult for others".

Perhaps he had already seen through it. The smarter the person, the more he thought and the more painful it was.

Qin Yao put on the white fox cloak given by his brother, passed by the martial arts training ground at the door, raised his hand to help Qi Xianguan lift his trembling arm, smiled encouragingly, and went out in style.

Qi Xianguan wanted to cry but had no tears. The sword in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds of iron.

He secretly took a break and lowered his hand a little, but Shitou didn't notice it at all.

Now, when Qin Yao mentioned it, Shitou's sharp eyes immediately swept over, and he couldn't take a break anymore!
