After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 232
"Dad, was the Dragon King's Banquet delicious?" Siniang couldn't help but lick the corner of her mouth.

Liu Ji thought of the yearning looks of the scholars in the front hall and said uncertainly: "It must be delicious. If it's not delicious, can it be called the Dragon King's Banquet?"

Siniang immediately raised her little hand: "I want to participate!"

The little girl thought that anyone could participate in the competition.

Liu Ji said that several major families in the city had already rounded up the team and had been practicing a month ago. Ordinary people could just take a look.

Si Niang sighed, "Okay."

But it would be great if you can join in the fun!

"Auntie, let's go?" Da Lang, Er Lang, San Lang, and Si Niang looked at Qin Yao expectantly.

Can Qin Yao still refuse?
"When will the game start?" Qin Yao asked Liu Ji.

Liu Ji replied: "The game starts on time at noon, but we have to go early. If we go late, we may not be able to find a good seat!"

"Well, then go to bed, wake up, finish your morning reading and then go over."

As soon as Qin Yao said this, a burst of cheers erupted in the room. Qin Yao quickly made a booing gesture. The four children laughed and covered their mouths.

"Be quiet and don't disturb other guests." Qin Yao warned warmly.

The four brothers and sisters nodded, but they couldn't stop the happiness in their eyes.

For the first time, the four siblings got up very early the next day, just to finish their morning reading and then find a good seat to watch the dragon boat racing.

But the one who preceded them was Liu Ji, who deserved the title of King of Volumes in Kaiyang County Academy!
He finished his homework in advance, borrowed a vegetable basket from Aunt Zou who managed the kitchen by brushing his face, and went out to buy the vegetables.

I took out the groceries I had bought this morning and put the rest in the room.

Because Qin Yao was still sleeping, she entered and exited the house as quietly as a thief. She could not help but grin when she saw a row of Da Lang, Er Lang, San Lang and Si Niang sitting at the door reading quietly in the morning.

Fortunately, Qin Yao chose a room on the first floor facing the inner courtyard yesterday, with stone steps to sit on.

Otherwise, if there were other guests entering or leaving the guest room at this moment, they would have to step over the four siblings.

There were many people who got up early to endorse, and [-]% of the people in the inn were scholars who came to take the government examination. Not long after dawn, the good place of the patio was discovered, and many scholars came one after another.

The sound of reading aloud is like the sound of bells and drums.

This was an atmosphere of morning reading that the Dalang brothers and sisters had never experienced before. They were immersed in it for a while and forgot where they were.

The tender children's voice sounded, and the scholars looked around in surprise. They saw four little children, holding books in their hands, sitting neatly on the stone steps. They were also reading selflessly.

The two sides looked at each other inadvertently, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but raise slightly.

Someone with an outgoing and cheerful personality came over and read an article with them.

So one passed to two, and then to four, and the whole courtyard was filled with the sound of reading.

The morning sun rose, and the entire city was shrouded in golden light, shining brightly.

People passing in front of the inn couldn't help but stop when they heard the neat and loud sound of reading.

They are hawkers who get up early to do business, women who buy vegetables, hard-working people who are getting ready to go to work, and officers who have just come off their posts.
Maybe they didn't understand what those words meant, but they were inexplicably attracted to them.

Because what they heard was the righteousness of the scholars, and what they saw was the prosperous future of the prosperous country.

"The sound of reading is so nice." The grocery shopping lady praised.

It wasn't until the sound of reading stopped that the people parked at the door of the inn reluctantly dispersed.

"Aniang, many big brothers are studying with us this morning."

When the family gathered around the table to have breakfast, the twins were very excited and told Qin Yao what happened to them this morning.

There were only four benches, so Liu Ji consciously stood up to eat. Dalang gave up his seat to Qin Yao and squatted on the ground to eat.Anyway, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to pay too much attention.

Qin Yao didn't do that trick of you let me and I let you. She ate quickly, finished in three or two bites, got up and backed out of her seat, beckoned Dalang to sit and eat slowly, and listened to them with a smile as they talked about what happened in the morning.

In fact, the villain in my heart is shouting crazily: Thank you, I can't sleep at all in the morning!

But such a rare experience, why don’t we write another diary?
"Come back tonight and I will teach you how to write a diary. Let's record this special day." Qin Yao said with a smile.

The expressions of both the dragon and the phoenix who were talking excitedly changed.

Dalang and Erlang almost choked on the food they had not yet swallowed.

Qin Yao asked doubtfully: "Are you unhappy?"

The four brothers and sisters shook their heads stiffly, tried their best to smile, and said numbly: "Happy."

"Okay, get ready, let's go watch the dragon boat race."

Four brothers and sisters: "Okay!!!"

It can be seen that I am really happy this time.

Liu Ji asked if he wanted to ask Liu Li to come with him. Qin Yao nodded and asked him to ask.

Liu Li readily agreed and called Da Zhuang, and the two families happily left the inn and walked towards the competition venue in the south of the city.

I thought I was early enough, but I didn't expect that everyone thought of going together. They all thought they could predict others' predictions, but one of them left earlier than the other.

When Qin Yao and others arrived at the competition point, the best viewing position - the stone bridge above the finish line, was already crowded with people.

Even both sides of the river are full of human heads.

Qin Yao secretly sighed, it felt a bit like zombies attacking the city.

Dalang's sharp eyes noticed that there was an empty platform next to the stone bridge. Just as he was about to call his parents over, Liu Ji, who saw what he was thinking, said:

"That side is specially reserved for the prefect and ladies from the city's aristocratic families to watch the game."

Liu Li asked: "How do you know?"

"I've asked about it, of course I know!" Liu Ji said sternly, "But I also know a great location. Come with me."

Under Qin Yao's suspicious gaze, Liu Ji proved with practical actions that he was seriously planning for today's dragon boat race.

Under his leadership, everyone squeezed through the people on the river bank and came to a big tree on the east side of the stone bridge.

There were also people under the tree. Dalang looked at his father distrustfully, "You can't even see them."

Due to his height limitation, he looked over and felt that he was about to be submerged by human legs. It was so scary!
Qin Yao held Sanlang in one hand and Siniang in the other. She glanced at the strong tree in front of her, and thought of Liu Ji's inconsistent temper. She raised her eyebrows in disbelief, "You don't want to Shall we go up the tree?"

When he asked, Liu Ji showed an ecstatic expression of 'you understand me', "Yes!"

"Your dad is really a talent!"

Qin Yao looked up at the branches above her head. The nearest branch was more than four meters above the ground, and most people couldn't climb it.

But it was no challenge for her.

"Are you afraid of heights?" Qin Yao asked the smallest twin in her hand.

The brother and sister said excitedly: "Don't be afraid!"

"Okay, let's go up!" As Qin Yao finished speaking, she threw her hands upwards. Amidst the frightened inhales of Liu Li and Da Zhuang, San Lang and Si Niang landed firmly in the middle of the tree branches.
