Chapter 116: Whose help is not to take advantage of
"My mother said that I should marry a virtuous woman. If the heroine is still unmarried, I don't mind marrying her. Oh, brother Liu, why are you hitting my head?"
The young scholar felt very aggrieved. He stared at Liu Ji who hit him on the head in confusion, not knowing what he had said to offend him.
Liu Ji glanced at the evil woman who was immediately showing off her dominance, and his excitement instantly disappeared. He turned around and left, dragging his classmates with a sullen look on his face.
"Hey, hey, hey! We haven't seen enough!"
He ignored the complaints of the crowd until he dragged all the young people back to the academy, then he said with a sullen look on his face:
"That's my wife! She's already married, so don't think about her!"
"Huh?" The young scholar who was hit on the head seemed a little regretful, but soon showed an exaggerated expression, "That's the evil woman in Brother Liu's family?"
Seeing Liu Ji nod with a sad face, someone immediately murmured: "Sister-in-law is so heroic, she doesn't look like an unreasonable evil woman."
Liu Ji snorted angrily, "Brothers, you are still too young. Does her heroic spirit conflict with her unreasonableness and disrespect for her husband?"
The young men looked at each other blankly. Is this a conflict?
Liu Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Not at all!"
Young people, yes, it seems that there is no conflict.
But so what? She was a hero who killed the bandit leader!
Isn't it reasonable for a hero to disrespect her husband?
As soon as Liu Ji saw the admiring eyes of the young people, she knew that they were hopeless. She was too lazy to talk to them, who hadn't even grown all their hair yet, and strode towards the classroom.
He was the first one to return to the classroom and took the opportunity to tell the teacher that he was not at all interested in the excitement outside the door. He had tried very hard to pull other students back, but they did not listen to him and went out anyway. He hoped that the teacher would not be angry.
How could the Master not be angry?
His beard was so angry that it flew up, and he walked out with big strides, holding the ruler.
After that, there was a burst of wailing.
Liu Ji looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and felt instantly relieved.
However, this comfort did not last long.
During lunch break, someone excitedly ran to the dormitory, "Brother Liu Ji! Brother Liu Ji! My sister-in-law is here to see you. She's just outside the back door of the academy!"
Liu Ji, who had just finished cooking for himself, had his lunch and was about to lie down for a nap, suddenly sat up with a start.
He glanced at the man helplessly. Was it necessary to shout so loudly?
Now everyone knew.
Liu Ji looked back every time he took a step, looking at his classmates who were shamelessly following him and wanted to catch a glimpse of the heroine. In his heart, he prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in heaven.
Amitabha, the Jade Emperor, please hurry up and bless his wife to speak to him nicely, give him some face, and not touch him casually.
Praying to God in his heart, Liu Ji finally walked to the back door of the academy with difficulty.
The door opened, and Qin Yao, dressed in plain clothes, holding a knife and carrying a bow, appeared in front of him.
There was an old brown horse with shed hair behind her. When it saw him, the horse snorted angrily. Qin Yao patted the horse's back as a warning, and it finally calmed down.
"How is it? Are you adapting to college life?" she asked with a smile.
He tilted his head slightly, taking in the inquiring faces of the young scholars hiding behind him. He remained calm and waved at them, "Hi!"
The young men had never seen anything like this before, and they immediately retreated shyly, crowding behind the door and whispering excitedly.
Liu Ji rolled his eyes speechlessly, pretending that the person behind him didn't exist. He looked at the horse and asked in confusion, "Where did you get this horse from, madam?"
"I bought it." Qin Yao was happy when she saw the horse. "The county magistrate sold me his old horse at a low price. Although it's a little old, old horses have their own advantages. It will be very useful after some training."
After all, she only spent ten taels of silver to buy a tall horse of Western breed.
As for the horses on the market, a slightly taller and better breed would cost at least forty or fifty taels of silver.
Even an ordinary pony would cost at least twenty taels of silver.
Liu Ji suddenly realized that Qin Yao had uncovered the list and completed the task, so there was a bounty!
He immediately changed his expression to one of concern, walked forward and circled Qin Yao three times, "Madam, you were not injured in the fight with the bandits, were you?"
Qin Yao pushed him away, "I'm fine, it's just killing someone, it's much easier than farming."
This magical metaphor made Liu Ji's breath catch. Thinking that she hated beating around the bush, he simply asked directly:
"Is there a bounty?"
Qin Yao nodded, glanced at the students behind the door, waved to Liu Ji to come closer, and whispered to him in a low voice,
"But it has nothing to do with you. This is not something you should worry about. Study hard. I'm going home. Remember the task I gave you. Complete it. You'll benefit from it later."
After saying this, he smiled at the curious heads at the door, patted Liu Ji's shoulder, and led the horse away.
Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Buddha, Guanyin and the Jade Emperor. His wife was very considerate of him today and did not give him the cold shoulder in front of his classmates.
It's just that he had just said a lot of bad things about Qin Yao to his classmates before, and now he was the one who falsely accused her.
But my wife said that there would be benefits for him to come back. What benefits were they?
Liu Ji raised his eyebrows excitedly. He looked miserable when he came here, and now he was back in the academy, humming a song.
"Liu Ji!"
Suddenly someone called him.
Liu Ji smiled and looked back, his eyes lit up, it was actually Scholar Fan!
He was just wondering how to approach these scholars, he didn't expect them to come to him on their own initiative.
However, Liu Jixing rushed over, and the other party asked immediately: "Are you the husband of the heroine who married King Xiang's head?"
Liu Ji was embarrassed for a fraction of a second, then he immediately said proudly, "That's me."
Who cares whose face they are looking at? After all, the husband and wife are a family. It doesn't matter who takes advantage of whom.
There is no law in this world that only the wife can take advantage of the husband, but the husband cannot take advantage of the wife.
Liu Ji adapted to the change in status very quickly. Taking advantage of everyone's interest in female heroes and relying on his identity as the husband of a female hero, he quickly broke into the scholar circle.
Qin Yao didn't know he was so impressive. She left the academy and went to the horse market first to buy a good saddle for her BMW.
The county magistrate was very happy to give the reward of 100 taels of silver. Qin Yao was also very tactful and took the money and left, rejecting all the invitations from the wealthy businessmen and leaving the glory to the officials in the government office.
This horse is her reward for her wisdom and understanding.
Even though her old brown horse is a little bald, it just has a mild skin disease. She can go to the veterinarian and buy two packets of medicine powder to apply it, and it will be cured in a month.
With the heavy ninety taels in her arms, Qin Yao felt that a well-off life was not far away.
Qin Yao spent two taels of silver to buy a saddle, and then took the horse to Manager Fan's restaurant to pack two signature meat dishes. Only then did she ride the horse leisurely home.
Now she had 102 taels of silver in her hand, and her state of mind was completely different from when she came.
I was calculating how to spend the money all the way, and I felt like I had finally made it after working outside for many years.
