Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

"Girl Qiao, what do you want to buy when you go to the city? My master has also opened many shops. Let me take you to buy them! You have just escaped here and you have a lot of things to buy. Save this money if you can."

Butler Zhou felt really sorry for the little girl in front of him. A teenage girl had to show her face and run around like a man. Alas, a child without a father is really pitiful!

I don't know if her family is treating her like a brat because she lost her father.

I don’t know how much suffering I endured during this journey of escaping from famine. I had no food or water, and was exposed to the sun and rain. Look at this thin little body, look at this tanned face, tsk tsk tsk, how can I find my husband’s family in the future? What a crime!

Qiao Ran had no idea that Housekeeper Zhou was complaining about herself. She thought about it and said:

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou! No, we're new here and the house hasn't been built yet, so we don't need to buy too many things for the time being. I'll just buy some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. It won't cost much."

Butler Zhou then thought, yes! They had just arrived and didn't even have a house. It was so cold in the deep mountains and wild forests, so how could they live there?

He slapped his thigh: "Oh! Look at my brain! I only thought that you should be most in need of food, clothing and quilts, but I didn't think about the issue of housing. Otherwise, you and your family can move to Zhuangzi not far from the city gate. Let’s live there! That’s my master’s village. It’s up to me to arrange for a few people to live there. Besides, you are also the master’s savior. The master won’t blame you. I’m just a fellow villager in your village and there’s nothing I can do about it. You’re too human. If there are more, there won’t be so many empty houses in the village.”

Qiao Ran smiled and shook her head and refused: "No, no, we have a place to live."

Housekeeper Zhou thought that when she said she had a place to live, she meant living in a cave. He thought about it and said:

"It must be very cold living in a cave, right? There are no doors or windows, and the wind blows directly in. People are not allowed to freeze to death in the middle of the night? It will take you several months to build the house, right? It looks like the New Year is coming soon , it would be bad if you get cold. Otherwise, let me send you some blue bricks and build a wall at the entrance of the cave to block the wind. "

Qiao Ran didn't expect that Butler Zhou would care about her so carefully. She was a little touched and said with a smile:

"Uncle Zhou, thank you very much! But you have already helped us solve the problem of food and clothing, so you don't have to worry about accommodation. We built our own tent with linoleum cloth, which can keep out the wind and snow, and is very warm. There’s really no need to worry.”

Butler Zhou felt a little relieved after hearing this.

Alas, it's rare for me to care so much about an outsider. They can still do a good job, so I don't have to worry about it at all.

Just as he was secretly laughing at himself, he heard the girl suddenly say again:

"But, Uncle Zhou, I really have something to ask you."

As soon as Butler Zhou heard that he could use his help, he quickly sat up straight and asked with a serious face:

"If there's anything I can do to help you, just tell me."

Qiao Ran smiled happily: "Thank you, Uncle Zhou! That's right. I want to find out which academies in the capital are suitable for ordinary people and have a good reputation. After the Chinese New Year, I want to send my fourth uncle to an academy to continue his studies. He has already passed the exam. Now that Tong is born, his former master also said that he is very talented and will definitely be admitted as a scholar. I don’t want him to study for so many years in vain.”

"So that's it. You've asked the right person! Speaking of academies in the capital, the most famous one is of course Wanlu Academy. The three top imperial examination winners in our dynasty all came from Wanlu Academy, and even The nobles in the capital are also trying their best to send their descendants to Wanlu Academy to study!"

"But this academy is not so easy to get into. Although it is not expensive to train, the requirements for admission are very high. You need to pass the test set by the dean before you can be admitted. The dean of Wanlu Academy has a good relationship with my master, etc. When the master comes back, I will help you to beg for mercy and ask him to help your fourth uncle find a place in the hospital!"

When Qiao Ran heard this, she felt that this academy was pretty good and not mercenary.

Shuxiu is not expensive, and you have to pass an assessment to get in. Then you can filter out those playboys who are ignorant and love to cause trouble. They should be suitable for Fourth Uncle.

She stood up from her seat, bent over and bowed solemnly to Butler Zhou:

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou, for informing me! But there is no need to trouble Young Master Mo. I will just ask my fourth uncle to take the exam when the time comes. I believe he will be able to pass the exam on his own."

Butler Zhou quickly gave her a little help to tell her not to be polite.

Seeing how confident she was in his fourth uncle, he didn't force it.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on the news at Wanlu Academy. As soon as they post the entrance examination notice, I'll have someone notify you."

"Thank you! Then I'll trouble Uncle Zhou!"

At this time, the carriage had entered the lively urban streets, and when it arrived at the Juxian Building, Qiao Ran said goodbye to Butler Zhou and got off the carriage.

Qiao Ran wanted to go find Shopkeeper Chen and ask him if he knew any better schools in the suburbs of Beijing.

Shopkeeper Chen owns a restaurant and comes into contact with all kinds of people every day. If you want to inquire about things in the capital and its suburbs, it is more practical to go to him.

The waiter at the door recognized Qiao Ran. When he saw that she was here to see his shopkeeper again, he made a familiar gesture to invite her in:

"Miss Qiao, the shopkeeper has told me that if you come to her for anything in the future, you don't need to notify her, just go up to the second floor by yourself."

"Okay, thank you, brother!"

Qiao Ran walked into the restaurant, not feeling inferior at all because of her shabby clothes.

The restaurant is decorated in a simple yet grand style. It doesn't look cramped when you walk in, but is spacious and gives you a very comfortable feeling.

She entered the lobby on the first floor and climbed the stairs to the second floor.

But before she reached the second floor, she heard a burst of noise. Some people were shouting for a doctor, some were cursing, some were smashing tables and chairs, and some were crying.

Qiao Ran frowned. Is shopkeeper Chen in trouble?

Qiao Ran quickly went up to the second floor and saw many people watching the excitement in the originally empty corridor of private rooms on the second floor, all looking into a private room.

The noisy sound came from the box with the door opened.

Qiao Ran stood on tiptoes outside the crowd and looked over, and saw the commotion inside the box.

Near the door, there was a woman in gorgeous clothes holding a three or four-year-old girl who was crying sadly. There was an older nanny next to her while comforting her and wiping her tears.

Inside the box, a very tall and powerful man in green robe was furious, commanding several servants he brought to smash the things in the box.

While shopkeeper Chen was comforting the man, he was nervously instructing the waiter to go find the doctor.

However, the green-robed man seemed unable to listen to anything. He grabbed Shopkeeper Chen by the collar and picked him up like a chicken.

Shopkeeper Chen's feet were off the ground, and the collar being grabbed was so tight that he couldn't breathe. His face turned red all of a sudden, and he tried hard to pull at the big hand that was holding his throat with both hands. He struggled to pronounce the words: " Let...let...open..."
