After eating, Li Yao was ready to leave the college, bid farewell to the dean and the county order, and Li Yao and Qizhi got into the carriage and went to the county seat!

In the carriage, Qizhi said: "It seems that there are still many people who understand Master Hou, and they all know that this academy is not easy to run!" ”

Li Yao asked: "Am I a little crazy about the college that has been built after spending the annual financial income of the county!" ”

Qizhi shook his head and said softly: "If you didn't come here, I confirm that you are a little crazy, but after coming to the academy for a while, I think you have done a good job, husband, and children really need to grow up healthily in such an environment!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "You can come to the academy as a teacher tomorrow, have you figured out what courses to teach?" ”

Qizhi smiled and said, "Husband, I think it's better for me to teach vocal lessons, and I'm not very good at the others!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "I think so too!" ”

Came to the Hou Mansion, Qizhi returned to the small courtyard accompanied by the maid, Li Yao walked to the lobby by himself, Yu Linlin and they also rushed to the lobby, although they were playing poker before this, but there were maids guarding the door, as soon as Li Yao returned to the house, the maids reported to the hostesses in the backyard!

Yu Linlin and the others have also lived in the mansion for a long time, and they also know about the beautiful woman Qizhi, and every day there will be the sound of the piano coming out of that small courtyard, the sound of the piano is very beautiful, they can't ignore it if they want to, and once Li Yao returns to the Hou Mansion, he will definitely spend half of the night in that small courtyard, but they don't dare to say anything, because it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a Hou master!

So they can only grasp every opportunity for Li Yao to come back, as soon as Li Yao stepped into the mansion, they immediately gave up playing poker and gathered in the lobby to wait for Li Yao!

As soon as Li Yao stepped into the lobby, he saw four wives and concubines waiting in the lobby, Li Yao smiled and said, "What are you all doing in the lobby?" Four people can put together a table of mahjong! ”

Yu Linlin heard the word 'mahjong' and asked, "Husband, what is mahjong!" ”

Li Yao looked at the four people in front of him, if he played the landlord, there was always one who couldn't play, it was better to invent mahjong, the four of them happened to be a table of mahjong, Li Yao said: "Mahjong this thing, wait for me to make it, you play!" ”

Seeing that Li Yao is going to make new things again, Yu Linlin and the others are looking forward to it, they have already tasted the sweetness of playing cards, and I wish Li Yao could make 'mahjong' now!

Li Yao couldn't make mahjong by himself, so he said to them: "I'll go out and find a craftsman to make mahjong, you just wait at home!" ”

Yu Linlin said: "Husband, we want to go out shopping tomorrow, and it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a few days, and we also want to buy some lanterns and come back!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow you let the guards follow you, and you can buy whatever you want!" ”

After speaking, Li Yao walked out of the Hou Mansion, first looking for a carpenter, and then looking for a carver, so that he could make mahjong!

Li Yao came to Dongshi, there are more craftsmen here, Li Yao found a carpenter and said, "I want the strongest and most durable wood!" ”

The carpenter asked, "Would you rather have aged rosewood or rosewood?" Both pieces of wood are strong and durable! ”

Li Yao didn't know which one was better, so he said casually: "Take the rosewood!" ”

The carpenter continued: "What are you going to build? Bed or cabinet? ”

Li Yao said: "You just divide the wood into 136 pieces of one inch in size!" ”

Although the carpenter didn't know what Li Yao was going to do if he wanted to divide the wood into this, as long as Li Yao gave money, he didn't want to ask much, so he said: "Okay, you wait, I'll get it for you in half an hour!" ”

Li Yao said: "Then hurry up!" ”

Half an hour later, the carpenter handed Li Yao 136 pieces of one-inch wood and asked, "What do you think of this?" ”

Li Yao looked at it and said, "It's not bad, so be it!" ”

Li Yao asked the guards to pay and went to find the carver, Li Yao came to a carving stall and asked, "I want to carve something on wood!" ”

The carver asked, "What do guests need to carve, I have a lot of carved ones here, you can take a look at them first!" ”

Li Yao took out 136 pieces of wood and said, "I need you to carve things on all 136 pieces of wood, and I will draw them for you!" ”

Then Li Yao threw out a silver ingot of ten taels of silver and said, "You call a few more carvers to come out, I only have one hour at most!" ”

The carver hurriedly kicked the silver into his pocket and ran to the back to find a few carvers!

Li Yao also drew the carved thing at this time, Li Yao pointed to the pattern drawn on the paper and said, "You just follow this carving!" ”

After reading it, the carver nodded and said, "Okay, guest, you wait a while, we will go to carve now!" ”

An hour later, the carver took out the mahjong and said, "Guest, everything is carved, look at it!" ”

Li Yao took out a mahjong and looked at it, and said, "Okay, it's very good!" ”

After putting the mahjong back in his bag and leaving, the carver said, "Guest, come often when you have time!" ”

Seeing Li Yao leave, the carver took out the silver ingot of ten taels of silver and looked at it, and then carefully put it back in his arms, this ten taels of silver is a year's income! I really hope that such a wronged boss will come more times!

Li Yao took the mahjong back to the house, the sky was already dark, Yu Linlin saw that her husband was back, and immediately greeted her and asked, "Husband, are you back?" "But looking around, it looks like he's looking for something

Li Yao naturally knew what Yu Linlin was looking for, so he smiled, pointed to the burden in his hand, and said, "Mahjong is here, you come in with me, and I will teach you how to play!" ”

Letting the servants spread a blanket on the square table, Li Yao sat them down and said, "Playing mahjong requires some color to be fun, this is similar to playing poker!" I'll teach you how to recognize the cards and how to play! ”

Mahjong and playing cards are actually similar, you may not understand at first, but after you look at two rounds, you will definitely play, it took more than an hour to teach a few of them to play mahjong, Li Yao let them start playing by themselves!

The cook came over at this time and said, "Master Hou, the meal is ready!" ”

Li Yao looked at a few of them and said, "If you want to play mahjong, you have to wait until you finish eating, now you all go to eat!" ”

Although the four girls were all interested, they didn't dare not listen to Li Yao's words, so they all obediently went to eat!

After everyone sat down at the dinner table, Li Yao looked at the big fish and meat in front of him and said, "I went to the academy today, do you know what I saw?" ”

Yu Linlin asked, "What did the husband see?" ”

Li Yao said: "I saw a teacher eating the leftover steamed buns from the students! ”

Yu Linlin asked, "I remember that the meals in our academy are all free, why would he eat the leftover steamed buns from the students?" ”

Li Yao said: "That's because he wants to save some food for the academy and make the academy run for a longer time!" ”

The girls were all taken aback and said, "This teaching gentleman is worthy of respect!" ”

Li Yao looked at the big fish and meat on the table at this time and said: "We can't be extravagant and wasteful in the future, we can't eat so many dishes at all, and the five of us will eat in the future, the standard is four dishes and one soup, do you have any opinions?" ”

The women all shook their heads and said that they had no opinion, they usually ate very little, and the rest of the dishes were basically thrown away, which was indeed a big waste!
