C17 Trickster
Smelling the fragrance of the dishes coming from the third room, Old Granny Liao's expression turned ugly. "I'm so poor that I can't even open the wok. I didn't think that I'd be able to get some good food from the silver."
"Alright, stop talking!" Old Master Liao patted her on the shoulder, still thinking about what to do next. "I think that girl Qiuhua probably already has an idea in her heart."
However, Old Granny Liao did not take it to heart. A trace of disdain appeared on her face, "What kind of idea can a girl have? If I don't make that girl suffer, do you think we can be easily bullied? "
Old man Liao opened his mouth, but the words that came out of his mouth were just a sigh. He decided to continue eating the dishes in the bowl. He had already made up his mind.
In the third room, upon seeing that Jiang Teng had not appeared, Mrs Zhao's originally happy mood immediately fell to the bottom, and her complexion became much uglier.
"Mother, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy? " Sensing that something was wrong with her face, Liao Qiuju put down the plate in her hand and walked over to her.
Mrs Zhao slightly sighed, she only looked at the door in the yard, but didn't even see a shadow: "You said that Mr Jiang wouldn't be messing with you? We prepared a table of food here, and they didn't even want to come. "
"How could that be? He promised me that he would come over once the private school is over. Didn't Mother say that those who study are the most faithful? " Liao Qiuju didn't have much confidence when she said this.
That bastard, Jiang Teng, if he dares to put his pigeon down and brew any other wine in the future, he will definitely only let him see and not drink it!
Jiang Teng didn't know that he was being hated by others anymore. He was also being held back by others now: "Lady Yu, I've also arranged to meet someone. I'll come and bother you another day."
"Teacher, there are some things I really don't understand, so …" Yu Yating's face blushed slightly, but she had no intention of letting him go.
Jiang Teng's brows creased into the word "Chuan". It was already against the rules for a man and a woman to be alone in a room. If he continued to drag and pull like this, it would be hard to explain himself.
"Miss Yu, please behave yourself. I'll come visit another day." Jiang Teng turned his body and left the room. He didn't care about the fervent gaze behind him as he quickly left the room.
Seeing that the sun had already set in the west, Mrs Zhao's already worried heart dropped to the bottom again. "Forget it! "It's better if we eat by ourselves. I think Mr. Jiang is busy today and won't come."
Liao Qiujiu cursed silently in her heart, but she still stood up and supported Liao Qingshan as he walked over, "Father, I'll pour you a cup of wine that I brewed."
"Don't, don't, don't. Keep it to sell." Liao Qing Qing knew that the wine was used to sell silver, and quickly rejected it with a wave of her hand.
"It's nothing. It's just a cup. I can still taste it on the way, can't I?" Liao Qiuju ignored the look Mrs Zhao gave her, stood up and poured two cups of wine, placing them in front of her parents.
Mrs Zhao looked at the wine cup in front of her and pushed it to the side, placing it in front of her son. "Qiujun, let me give it to you. Mother is not suited to drink."
"Mother, Qiujun is still young, this fruit wine is the best for women to drink." Liao Qiuju glared at her younger brother, who was reaching out his hand, and placed the wine cup in front of Mrs Zhao with a slightly relieved expression.
Just as they were about to start their meal, there was a knock on the door and Jiang Teng's voice asking, "Is there anyone inside?"
Liao Qiuju stopped what she was doing and listened attentively for the sounds coming from the other side of the door. Only then did she put down her chopsticks. "You're finally here. I thought you wouldn't come."
"There's something going on at the private school, so I came late." In his hand, Jiang Teng carried a brine flavour wrapped in leaves: "Bring some brine flavour to uncle to drink."
"You really came at the right time!" It couldn't have come by smell, could it? " Liao Qiuju couldn't help but mutter to herself, but she still invited him in.
After three rounds of drinking, both Liao Qing and Madame Zhao's faces were slightly flushed. By their side, Liao Qiujun looked especially eager. "Young mistress …"
"It's already getting late. Help dad to go back to his room to rest." Liao Qiujie rejected his psychological thought of wanting a drink from him without the slightest hesitation.
Liao Qiujun pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, but still supported the half-drunk Liao Qingqing into the room.
After blowing on the door for a while, Jiang Teng's muddleheaded mind cleared up a lot: "Oh yes, what did you call me for?"
Liao Qiuju looked at him with slight hesitation, confirming that he should still be awake. With slight hesitation, she asked, "Are you familiar with the Yu Family?"
"Not bad." Thinking about what had happened before he came here today, Jiang Teng frowned, a trace of unhappiness still flashing across his eyes.
Liao Qiuju frowned and looked at him, this didn't seem to be impossible. On the contrary, he wanted revenge, but since he was able to teach under Yu Clan, their relationship shouldn't be that bad.
"Two days later, I heard that it's Madam Yu's birthday. When the time comes, help me introduce my business and I'll split 30 to 70 percent with you. How about it?" Liao Qiuju looked at him expectantly.
Jiang Teng frowned and looked at her, as if he was trying to see something different from her eyes: "Three seven? I'll pay you seven, you three? "
"Big Brother, you're thinking too much!" "Look at how poor my family is, why does it have to be you and me?" Who said that scholars could not settle debts? Liao Qiujie wished she could drag out the person who said that and beat him up to vent her anger.
Jiang Teng chuckled and leaned against the door frame, "Lady Liao, although I am a teacher, I am not a fool."
"Then what about six or four? I have also obtained some craftsmanship and utensils. You don't want me to fail at all, do you? " Liao Qiuzhu thought about it and agreed.
"Sure!" Jiang Teng didn't really care about the money, but when he saw her conflicted expression, he could not help but have a funny feeling in his heart.
Liao Qiujin muttered the words "evil merchant" in his heart, but he was still a little worried. "Then you'll sign a contract with me tomorrow, and we'll sign it so that we won't be unable to explain things clearly in the future."
Hearing this, Jiang Teng looked at her with a hint of concern, "Alright, I'll get Qiujun to bring it back tomorrow at noon."
Liao Qiuju nodded and looked outside, thinking that it was getting late, "Then you should go back earlier. It's getting late, it's not good for you to stay here."
Two days ago, Jiang Teng had also witnessed the speed at which rumors were being spread in this village, so he just nodded his head and walked outside.
Just as he was about to open the door, someone suddenly opened it from the outside. Liao Qingyun, who had been aggressively looking for Liao Qiujie to settle the score, immediately withdrew his hand as he prepared to smash the door. "Mister Jiang …"
Jiang Teng didn't have much of an impression of her, only giving a faint "En" before leaving. Liao Qingyun couldn't help but look at his back …
