Chapter 163: Confession

After dinner, Kaichi helped his mother clean up the table.

Although he likes to make his own food, he actually doesn't like to wash dishes. But it's rare to go home, of course, you have to make a show.

In the kitchen, Erica was washing the dishes, and suddenly, she said to Jiayi, "Jiayi, tell me, what did you and your teacher learn? A few thousand gold coins are nothing in your eyes, and I think even the lord can't ignore so many gold coins." Also, you're going to do experiments, what experiments?"

Erica was very flustered now, he knew that his eldest son was very smart, and the family was able to develop so well thanks to him, but she was also afraid that her eldest son would go astray. Because he is too smart, the common problem of smart people is that they always like to take shortcuts, and they are more easily tempted.

In particular, it is okay for a stupid person to go the wrong way, and there is more room for manoeuvre, because the damage caused is small, and the mistake is not great. But if a smart person goes the wrong way, there is less chance of turning back, because the smart person is more difficult to be discovered, and the harm caused is more, and then there is no turning back.

Erica is now afraid that her eldest son has become an evil wizard, and legend has it that evil wizards are always inseparable from "experiments", and they always like to use children's hearts to do some evil experiments.

Seeing that his mother was so nervous, Jia Yi also figured it out a little, as if she had thought something wrong.

He hurriedly said, "Mom, I didn't do anything bad! But I'm going to talk to you about it." After a while, although it has not yet been decided, I may have to go away for a while. ”

When Erica heard this, she became even more nervous, this was clearly the rhythm of running.

"You, have you been discovered?" she put down the bowl in her hand, trembling a little, as if she wanted to reach out to touch Kaichi's face, and remembered that there was water in her hand, "You will always be my son." ”

After speaking, there were tears flashing in his eyes, and the tears were almost about to flow down.

Jia Yi felt a little inexplicable, why did his mother's mood suddenly rise, what is this, how did he make himself feel like he was dying.

"Hey, Mom, what's wrong, I'm fine, I'm just going out to study. ”

"Studying?"

Seeing Erica, Kayi suppressed her tears and said, "Yes, you also know, I am very smart, and now I have learned almost everything from the teacher, and the teacher thinks that if I want to develop more, I need to go to school to study." There are more teachers, better and able to learn more. ”

Erica breathed a sigh of relief, but then thought about it and said, "What about your gold coins? Your teacher would give you so many gold coins so easily, who is your teacher?"

Jia Yi thought about it, and felt that it was not okay to hide it from his parents all the time, so he thought about it for a while and said, "My teacher is a mage. ”

Seeing that his mother's face immediately changed, he hurriedly explained: "It's a mage, it's different from a wizard, we never do any evil spell experiments. And the lord's daughter and son also studied with me. A lord will never harm his children. ”

Hearing this, Erica was a little relieved, but still said: "Who knows, do you think that the lord is a good person? I have also heard rumors that a lord worships the demon and sacrifices his daughter and wife to the demon." ”

Jia Yi didn't expect his mother to have such insight, after all, his own lord was not bad, and the taxes he collected were not too much, although it was more than half. And he also lent money to some poor families at low interest, although the interest rate was as high as 30%, but this is already a rare good deed, because the interest rate of usury is higher.

However, there are always people who are the first and the last to the last, especially the aristocracy, who are particularly concerned about the glamour on the surface. It is not that the higher the person, the better the moral character, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, including the other world. But some people just have this kind of thought, thinking that all the suffering is caused by the low-level officials, and there must be a big master of the blue sky above.

This reminds Jia Yi of the peculiar system in his own country in his previous life-on... Visit.

To be honest, if there is really a so-called Qingtian master, there should not be this kind of silverfish who are greedy for money and harm the people. It's all a joke in the play, which can be regarded as a kind of feudal remnant.

Jiayi's thoughts passed by in a flash, and these had nothing to do with him now. And according to his observations, his lord was barely a decent person.

He didn't pay attention to the demon in his mother's mouth, they wouldn't know this thing even in front of them, and most of the so-called demons were false.

He continued to explain to his mother: "Mages are already open among the nobles, and all nobles are proud to know mages, especially when we are relatively remote here and there are not many mages. It's just that the nobles want to maintain their authority that there are so many rumors about wizards. ”

Erica listened and was skeptical: "You mean, these wizards' claims are all false?"

"Actually, not all, there are also some mages who have degenerated into wizards, but this kind of is basically unsightly, and there are very few. It's just that the nobles don't want the commoners under their rule to know so much, and deliberately confuse the difference between mages and wizards, making people mistakenly believe that all spellcasters are evil. ”

"So, do you know spells?"

Now Jia Yi was really asked, if it was a month ago, Jia Yi could immediately use a mage's touch to prove it, but now that he is injured, if he uses magic to release magic again, he will definitely deepen his injury. He's not so naΓ―ve yet, he has to prove something forcibly, and when he heals from his injury, won't it still be the same?

Jia Yi said: "That, my spell has not been practiced yet, and I can't release it now, so I can wait for two months." It was also because my spells were almost completed that the teacher asked me to go to his school to continue my studies. ”

He was afraid that his mother would be worried when he found out that he was injured, so he had to say that he hadn't learned the spell yet, and he didn't have any external injuries outside now, even if he said that he was injured, it was likely that his mother would see it as an excuse, so it was better not to say it.

After listening to Jiayi's words, Erica was a little skeptical, and she didn't know whether to believe it or not. It wasn't until Jia Yi said that she was free to bring Daile back and ask her in person, that she reluctantly believed it.

Kaichi stayed at home for more than two weeks without waiting for Donna to come home. Donna went to the provincial capital to continue her studies with a scholar and could not come back often. And Jia Yi felt that he was not going to come, so he didn't need to inform Donna to come back on purpose.

Then, he waited for news from Flower from his own servants that the teacher had returned.

This gave him the urge to hold on to a small advertisement on a telephone pole and shout "I'm cured of my illness."
