After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields

Chapter 47 is all about acting

 At the fourth watch, there was a rustling sound in Qin Yao's house.

Yawning and sleepy, Liu Ji came to the kitchen in the dark, touched the flint, lit the oil lamp on the stove, started the stove fire, and heated up the ten extra multi-grain steamed buns that he made last night, which was today's breakfast.

Qin Yao packed her bags and walked out of the room, knocking on the door next door.

“Dalang, Erlang! Tell your brothers and sisters to get dressed and get up. It’s cold in the morning, so put on all your clothes.”

 A new cotton cloth, with a new thick cotton jacket in the middle, and a second-hand old clothes on the outside. When the temperature rises, just take off the outermost old clothes.

 At the same time, it also plays a role in protecting new clothes. If they are dirty in this winter, there is no way to change them.

Liu Jiduan went to the river to wash the old linen clothes once, and they were already rotten into rags.

As for what kind of work, Qin Yao guessed it. With Liu Ji's character, he was just working as a thug or an accomplice.

There are servants around the gentlemen, and the ladies and ladies wear power fences on their heads and silks and satins on their bodies. There are strong women beside them to separate the crowd, so as to prevent the master's house from being rushed by the servants.

The advantage is that there is no fear that important property such as an ox cart will be **** outside the city gate and will be missed by thieves, thus eliminating part of the risk of loss.

By the way, because we took the oxen, we spent two more cents, which is called the carriage and horse management fee.

 Liu Ji glanced at her suspiciously. Could it be that he knew that he knew the official and was afraid?

However, the money is not paid in vain. After paying the money, the carriage and horses can be parked in the livestock shed at the gate of the city, and there will be special officials to guard it.

Liu Ji raised his eyebrows sternly, "I also attended the county academy after all. It's strange to know a few people."

The entry fee for each person is still one penny. Except for babies who cannot walk, as long as they can get down to the ground and walk on their own, no one can be exempted from the entry fee.

Dalang was surprised when he saw it. He didn't expect that his father was doing so well in the city.

The family of six had breakfast, locked the door, and walked toward the village chief's house with torches on.

What Qin Yao didn't expect was that the two officials at the city gate actually recognized Liu Ji and called him by his name.

Liu Ji's driving skills were not very good. The cow would go fast for a while, and then stop to nibble grass on the roadside. In this way, the family of six finally arrived at the gate of Kaiyang County.

Coupled with the government's sale of cattle, the two events combined brought people from all directions and formed a long queue at the entrance to the city.

Such a polite and tentative look relieved Liu Ji's heart that had been pent up at home for a long time. Regardless of whether he had a penny in his pocket, he said:

"Let's take a look first. If it's strong, how many of them will it bring back?"

 “What’s that look in your eyes?” Feeling that Qin Yao looked at him in the wrong way, Liu Ji responded by asking.

The oxen have been well fed by the village chief’s youngest son. The oxen-cart is not very fast, but it is much faster than people walking. It can reach Kaiyang County in less than two hours.

The stewards sent by several trench gentry came forward and politely asked Liu Ji if he also wanted to buy cattle.

They found that the people in the city were well dressed, with colorful clothes and exquisite embroidery on their collars.

But as long as it can still be used, poor people will not throw it away, and now it has become a rag, footcloth, etc. at home.

From the moment they entered the city, ordinary people like them walked along the streets, because the commercial roads in the middle were occupied by these privileged people. Ordinary people were afraid of bumping into these people, so they naturally avoided them.

Anyway, he himself didn’t say what his identity was, and it was these people who wanted to misunderstand him.

Since it was no longer so crowded, Qin Yao finally had the opportunity to ask Liu Ji, "Are you familiar with the guards at the city gate?"

Qin Yao shook her head gently and said nothing more.

Although these people are servants and servants, they are much better dressed than most of the people here. They have rosy complexions and are taller. Some people who don't know think they are rich farmers.

 There are many restaurants and shops on the East Street side, and street stalls are everywhere on the West Street side.

 East Street and West Street are like two places.

We haven't even entered the city yet, and we have already spent thirteen cash in one round.

The government's cattle were to be sold, and everyone wanted to buy them. People were surrounding the open space on three levels inside and three outside, waiting for the officials to bring out the cattle so that they could bid for the money.

 Qin Yao saw Liu Ji's pretentious look, and it was obvious that he was used to doing this kind of thing based on his excellent appearance.

But after passing the busiest section, the number of people walking in the center of the street gradually increased.

Therefore, there are very few people who come with children. Most of them are couples, or father and son, brothers, or adults from the same village.

Liu Ji also acted like a brother and a couple. He exchanged pleasantries with the two of them, handed over six copper coins, and led the cow into the city.

 Obviously he was overthinking it. Qin Yao just discovered the place where the cattle were sold, told Dalang Erlang to follow closely, and rushed over first with Sanlang and Siniang in his arms.

It is not easy to borrow this car. It all depends on Qin Yao's face. If Liu Ji wants to borrow it, the door will not be opened for him and he will be kicked out directly.

Liu Ji is tall and good-looking. He is wearing a newly purchased blue cotton-padded jacket. He walks straight and has the aloof look of a scholar. Some people think he is an academy student and actually give way to Qin Yao's family of six. Entered the first floor.

　Today is a cloudy day. The sky is already fully lit now, but it still looks foggy.

 After queuing for ten minutes, it was finally Qin Yao’s family’s turn.

Many gentry families also sent people over, waiting to buy cattle.

The ox cart stopped, and Qin Yao asked the four brothers and sisters to get out of the car. Dalang Erlang was old enough to follow the adults by himself. Sanlang and Si Niang were still young, so Liu Ji and Qin Yao each held one in their arms and led them through the crowd.

But this cannot resist people's enthusiasm, because today is a big market, the New Year is approaching, and there are especially many people coming to the market to buy new year's goods.

“Don’t you only have two days of rest every month when you study in the academy?” Qin Yao immediately grasped the flaw in his words and asked: “Where do you find the time to make friends with these people?”

Of course, you have to pay an additional parking fee, which is generally a flat fee of five cents regardless of the length of parking.

Liu Ji had already agreed in advance that he would borrow an ox cart. The village chief's youngest son had already gotten up, set up the ox cart and handed it to Liu Ji, giving him careful instructions.

The four Dalangs entered the city, their eyes were full of novelty, but at the same time they were also a little cautious.

Qin Yao's eyes darkened, and she glanced at him coldly and warningly. Then Liu Ji muttered: "I have helped them a few times, so I know them."

 The four Dalangs were sitting in the car, and even a city gate was a novelty for them.

When the four of them got up, they were extremely excited. After a lively wash, the steamed buns were also steamed.

Liu Ji thought his family had arrived early, but he didn't expect someone else to arrive earlier than him, so he had to wait in line at the back of the long queue to enter the city.

 Liu Ji suddenly stopped talking.

 Looking at so many people around, speaking various dialects and bustling with people, it’s almost hard to see them.

The four men were holding on to the handrails on three sides of the car. They were excited to get on the car at the beginning, but then felt exhausted after being jostled.

Qin Yao clearly saw that several of the probing stewards were wary of Liu Ji. They really regarded him as a competitor.

It will be released tomorrow. There will be five updates (10,000 words). I hope everyone can support it!
