Qin Hao's daily life in another world

Xu Yi asked the kitchen to make fragrant and hot polished rice noodles. Considering that the children usually have little oil and water, there were only three thin slices of pork belly on the noodles.

As soon as Mai Mai brought the children in the family into the small courtyard, she smelled the warm aroma of food.

"Mai Mai, take the children to eat some noodles first." Xu Yi warmly greeted the children, Xiao Qing'er hugged the rabbit and followed behind him, looking curiously at the extra brothers who came out of the yard.

Mai Mai was carrying a small bundle, and eight children in shabby clothes crowded together, one by one next to Mai Mai's thighs.

Mai Mai stood orderly at the courtyard gate, he didn't move, and the child at his feet followed quietly.

"My lord, did you also buy the blooming cherry tree? The steward on board gave me a tael of silver,"

"Yes, I was the one who asked you to come here. Let's eat noodles first. The children are probably hungry." Xu Yi walked over, picked up the youngest brother, and led him to the table.

Seeing that the children were restless and nervous, Yueyue and Xu Yi greeted each other, and took Brother Qing home first.

Mai Mai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the noble husband who had just left was so imposing, he didn't dare to open his mouth casually.

"Mai Mai, isn't Ah Sheng here?" Xu Yi didn't see the simple-minded man, so he asked casually.

Mai Mai slurped his mouth full of noodles, and replied with difficulty: "My lord, Ah Sheng is at home looking after the store, and Hao Bo can't do it alone."

"Well, did the steward tell you that on the day of the tasting, you will work on the boat, one day and one night, and you will be paid for two days."

"The little ones stay here. There are servants in the courtyard who take care of food and housing. You can rest assured."

Mai Mai lowered her head, stood up after a long time, and bowed deeply to Xu Yi.

"My lord, you, why do you help me?"

Mai Mai dragged eight children and spent a few years barely making ends meet, of course he knew that there would be no pies in the sky for no reason.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why Qin Hao and Xu Yi wanted to help him, and what were they planning?

This morning he went to the ship to deliver the goods. After boarding the ship, he thought he had broken into a fairyland, and the manager said it was the ship of the Maritime Trade Department.

Since they are members of the imperial court, shouldn't they be arrested and sold? !

"What are you thinking?" Xu Yi chuckled, knowing that the child was thinking of something wrong.

"My family lives in Xujia Village. Your surname is Qin. Your lord and I both work in the Maritime Trade Department. The Maritime Trade Department builds a wharf in Xujia Village, and my lord is in charge of the college. We are both good people."

"This time I came to Fucheng to buy some flowers and trees. I happened to meet you, so I bought your cherry blossom trees and sunflowers. It's not considered as a favor to help you."

"A few years ago, my father was also in a shipwreck, and there are two younger brothers in the family. I know what you have suffered, so I thought I could do something to help children who have no father's protection."

"Mr. Lang supported my idea, so I called the husband who had just left to join us, pooled some money, and opened a Fuyuan in Xujia Village to take in children without fathers."

Xu Yi spoke dryly, took a few sips from the water glass, and then said: "I think you are a neat brother who can take care of things. If you want, I want you to take care of the fuyuan. .”

"The husband who just left is the master's husband of the director of the Maritime Trade Department. If you want, he will send capable people to help you. You first look for children without fathers in Fucheng, and wait for the yard in Xujia Village to be built. You guys move there together."

Mai Mai thought that the sky had really fallen, and she even hit him.

Holding back his joy, Mai Mai pretended to be calm and asked: "Is it okay for a child without a father?"

"Children under the age of 14 can be taken in. The Fuyuan takes care of them until they are 14 years old. After [-] years old, they can make a living by themselves."

Mai Mai couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped up excitedly: "My lord, this is really a great thing, I am willing, I am so willing."

Xu Yi knocked on Mai Mai's head, imitating Qin Hao's tone, and scolded: "You're still called nobleman, and I'll be called Brother Yi from now on."

"Oh." Mai Mai touched the painful place, but the corners of his mouth were raised high. After a while, he thought of A Sheng.

Ah Sheng is already 16 years old, and he has grown into a big man again. Are they going to separate in the future?

"Yi, Brother Yi, can Ah Sheng go to Xujia Village? He is very good at taking care of flowers and trees, but he is too old."

Mai Mai's heart suddenly became flustered, and he felt that he was a little greedy. Brother Yi spent money to set up a welfare home, and he wanted to take advantage of it, but they have been with Ah Sheng for many years, and they have long become a family.

"Brother Yi, we don't want the money for the saplings. Can you let Asheng move to Xujia Village? You don't need to go to the Fuyuan, just build a hut next to it, and he can support himself."

Xu Yi thought that this child was quite loyal, and it was not an excessive request, so Xu Yi agreed casually.

"Why don't you want the money for the saplings? Let Ah Sheng take the money to rent or buy a small house in Xujia Village. Didn't you say that he is good at tending flowers and trees? Go to Xujia Village by yourself to find a gardening steward. If you have real skills, you will If you want him, it’s really impossible, there is always some strength left, and now Xujiacun can find a job if he has the strength.”

"Brother Yi, hehe, you're so nice." Mai Mai complimented Xu Yi with a smirk, thinking to himself that Xu Yi was a god sent from heaven, how could he be so nice.

"Stop being talkative, do a good job at the tasting, and have a good relationship with husbands, it will always be useful in the future."

Mai Mai rolled his eyes, understood, and patted his chest to make sure that what he knew best was to make the soft-hearted noble husband willingly pay.

The eight children, deaf to world affairs, were buried in noodle bowls, unable to lift their heads.

The servants tidied up the house and took the children who were fed and drunk to resettle. Xu Yi looked outside the door from time to time, why Brother Hao hasn't come back yet.

This morning, Ah Jiu came from the capital to participate in the tasting. Qin Hao and Wang Li took him on the boat, but he has not returned yet.

Four days later, Ah Jiu will return to the capital to hold a similar tasting in the capital. The one in the capital is also the highlight. The capital is full of talents, and I hope to attract a few great Confucian scholars. If there are big people in charge, the college will not worry about recruiting students.

Waiting until it was dark, Qin Hao returned to the courtyard with a roast chicken, followed by two big men carrying wooden boxes.

Xu Yi came up to meet him, took the roast chicken from Qin Hao's hand, and asked softly, "Brother Hao, why haven't you eaten yet? What's in this box?"

"Let's go back and talk about it." Qin Hao turned around and said to the two men, "Brother, just let it go, thank you for your hard work."

After the two left, Qin Hao picked up the wooden box, and Xu Yi hurried forward to open the door. The two husbands tacitly agreed not to disturb the servants.

"Brother Hao, it's so mysterious, what is in the wooden box?"

"Come and see for yourself, it's for you."

In a few days, it will be Xu Yi's 19th birthday. Xu Yi is thinking about what kind of rare thing this time is. Although there is nothing missing now, he is still happy to receive a gift.

But he muttered: "Brother Hao, where do you buy gifts with money, did Ah Jiu secretly give you money again?"

While talking, he went to lift the lid of the wooden box. Before he finished speaking, Xu Yi opened his eyes and covered his mouth, and the smile spread to the corners of his eyes again.

"Wow, Brother Hao, where did you get so much gold?"

Xu Yi remembered that there was still a dividend from the Maritime Trade Department at home, more than 1 taels of silver, brother Hao, could it really be exchanged for gold? !

"Didn't you say you want gold? Count it yourself, 1 taels of silver has been exchanged for 1000 taels of gold."

Qin Hao pinched Xu Yi's chubby cheek, and the little money fan at home saw Jin Jin's eyes shining, which was a lot of fun.

"You and Wang Lifulang talked about the Fuyuan. The three rich people worried that we didn't have enough money, so they asked people to send us the dividends."

"Ah Jiu also donated 2000 taels to the Fuyuan. You, the dean of the Fuyuan, have a lot of face. At the beginning, you raised 4000 taels of silver from others."

Xu Yi closed the lid of the box and said triumphantly: "That's nothing, just watch, I can support many people in the future."

"Xiao Deser, Yibao, let's support your husband first. Your husband hasn't had dinner yet. With so much gold, can you cook something delicious for your husband?"

Qin Hao stroked Xu Yi's face, it was so fleshy, he never tired of playing with it.

Xu Yi covered her face, struggling to escape from Qin Hao's clutches, pouted and said, "How about noodles, I'll put a lot of dried tofu and pork belly for you."

Xu Yi couldn't help complaining: "Wang Li and Yueyue are so stingy, Ah Jiu came from the capital, and I didn't invite you to come back after dinner."

Qin Hao thought amusedly, it seems that the little husband is really familiar with them, and he can talk small things about others without any scruples.

"Let's eat noodles, heat up the roast chicken, let's eat some together."

"Okay, Brother Hao, remember to put the gold in the space. Mai Mai is really a lucky star. Once he came, our family got a lot of gold today."

Qin Hao grew behind Xu Yi like a tail, commanding Xu Yi to add meat, noodles and vegetables like a master. Cooking a bowl of noodles is more troublesome than frying several dishes.

Xu Yi listened with a good temper, answering everything like coaxing a child.

Holding the finished noodles and roasted chicken, the couple entered the space after returning to their room. Like a virtuous little daughter-in-law, Xu Yi cut another plate of fruit for Qin Hao.

"Yibao, don't be so busy, sit down and have something to eat with me." Qin Hao pulled Xu Yi's sleeve to prevent him from walking back and forth.

Xu Yi sat down next to him, and gave Qin Hao most of the noodles in the bowl.

"Yibao, tomorrow morning, let's go to the beach to burn some paper money for my parents. There is a stone monument at the foot of the mountain by the sea to offer incense to the victims of the shipwreck. Let's go early to offer the first stick of incense."

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, the good mood brought by Jin Zi immediately fell down, leaning softly on Qin Hao's shoulder, her throat was sore.

Unexpectedly, Brother Hao always remembered this matter, and he was so busy these days that he actually forgot about it.

"Yeah." Xu Yi was like a piece of rice cake, crooked in Qin Hao's arms without making a sound.

Qin Hao put down his chopsticks, hugged him across his arms, and tapped the tip of his nose helplessly.

"Yibao, your lord is so hungry, you can act like a baby later, okay?"

Xu Yi hugged Qin Hao's neck, refusing to let go, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, Brother Hao."

Qin Hao put his arms around Fu Lang, the two were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeat.

"Little fool, thank you, I am your husband."
