I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

"A three-story courtyard? How big is that?"

Qiao Linxi was amazed. She had only seen siheyuan in later life, which should be a courtyard with only one entrance. Is a courtyard with three entrances as big as three siheyuans placed side by side?

"Sister? What yard?" Qiao Linqin was confused. Her sister had become abnormal since she encountered robbers a few days ago and often talked to herself. Could she really be a fairy?

"Nothing, let's pack up and go. I think the disaster here is not that serious. Let's walk around and see if we can find a place to stay."

Qiao Linxi really wanted to go to the capital to see what the emperor looked like, but the journey was too far. It would take several months for a group of children like them to walk to the capital. She gave up the idea.

Looking at the map, the town ahead is called Lanqing City, and it is estimated to be about ten miles away from their current location.

Qiao Linxi's eyes suddenly lit up. The system gave them a yard in Lanqing City? How magnificent it would be to have a three-story yard in the city.

When she thought of this, Qiao Linxi felt full of energy. Anyway, she had money now, enough for her dozen brothers and sisters to go to the city.

"Everyone hold on, let's all go into the next city and eat something delicious."

Qiao Linxi knew how to make promises. When she said this, all the children became excited. The children of the Qiao family were all farmers, and none of them had ever been to the city. Even before the drought, the adults in the family were buried in the fields all day and never took the children out of the village, let alone into the city.

Perhaps because he knew there was a large yard waiting for him ahead, Qiao Linxi's steps became much lighter.

"Brother, what is the city like?"

Three-year-old Qiao Lintang lay on Qiao Linbao's back and asked in his ear.

"In the city?" Qiao Linbao thought for a moment and said, "There are a lot of people in the city, the houses are tall and big, and there are a lot of delicious food. And they dress very nicely, like Sister Lin Xi."

Qiao Linbao is the oldest boy in his hometown. When he was seven or eight years old, Qiao Linxi's father took him to the city, and he always remembered what the city looked like.

"Brother, can we have delicious food after entering the city?"

"Brother, after we move into the city, can we live in a big house? Can we have beautiful clothes to wear?"

Qiao Linjin and Qiao Linyu are twin girls, just nine years old this year. When they heard their younger brother Qiao Lintang asking their older brother, they also started asking.

Qiao Linbao glanced at Qiao Linxi's back and said, "Yes. As long as we work hard, we will get what we want."

Maybe it was because the delicious pancake they were going to eat in the city was so big and fragrant, all the children walked ten miles in one breath without complaining of being tired.

For the sake of her three-story courtyard, Qiao Linxi felt that she was walking too slowly and really wanted to find a place to stay. She couldn't keep walking with so many brothers and sisters, could she?

If you can have a place to stay, even if the house is a bit shabby and life is a bit hard, it is worth it.

Ten miles, equivalent to about five kilometers in Qiao Linxi's time, would take more than an hour to walk normally, which is half an hour in ancient times. But Qiao Linxi and his friends were all children, and they walked for nearly an hour. When they arrived at Lanqing City, it was exactly noon.

Qiao Linxi brought a group of children to the city gate. This place was no exception and an entrance fee was required to enter the city.

Qiao Linxi took out the purse that Gu Changfeng handed to her from her bosom. She was sure that this purse was not given to her by Miss Qin. This should be Gu Changfeng's own purse, because she smelled the same smell as Gu Changfeng.

She didn't care about that. The money was hers once she got it. She wasn't stupid enough to refuse the money for some reasons.

When he opened the bag, he saw that it was full of silver ingots. Qiao Linxi, who had no concept of money, was a little nervous, so he had to pull Qiao Linqin over and ask, "Qinqin, how much silver do you think there is?"

"Sister..." Qiao Linqin looked at the silver ingots in surprise. There were at least dozens of taels here. She had never seen so much money before.

"Here, one ingot should be five taels, and here there are about twenty or thirty taels."

Qiao Linxi still had no idea, so she asked Qiao Linqin, "Then it will cost us ten coins each to enter the city, so nineteen people will cost one hundred and ninety coins. This should be enough, right?"

"Sister," Qiao Linqin looked at Qiao Linxi in surprise. How could her elder sister not know money after escaping from a famine? "One tael of silver is equal to one thousand coins. Do you think this is enough?"

"Is that so?" But Qiao Linxi was worried again. All she had was silver. How could she turn it into copper coins?

"Sister, you can use a pair of scissors to cut off a small piece. It will be worth at least ten cents."

One ingot is five taels, which is five thousand coins. They only need two hundred coins, which is five thousand coins...

Well, Qiao Linxi’s math was taught by the physical education teacher, so she couldn’t figure it out. She simply didn’t bother wasting her brain cells and directly exchanged her wish points for a pair of small golden scissors from the system. This pair of scissors, which was specially used for cutting silver, was not an ordinary pair of scissors. It cost Qiao Linxi ten points of her wish points.

Qiao Linxi cut out a small piece of silver slightly larger than a fingernail. She looked at it and felt it was not enough. Two hundred coins is one twenty-fifth of five thousand coins. This little bit of silver should not be enough for one twenty-fifth of the ingot.

Qiao Linxi gritted his teeth and cut off one-fifth of it. Qiao Linqin felt very painful when he saw it, as it was worth one or two taels of silver.

Qiao Linxi naturally had her reasons for cutting one or two of them. She walked towards one of the guards under Qiao Linqin's painful gaze.

"It's ten cents to enter the city. No money, no deal."

"Sir, this is the case. I have eighteen brothers and sisters, and we all have to go to the city. I have some money here, and I'll give it all to you, but I have something else I want to ask of you."

Qiao Linxi handed the silver pieces to the official. When the official saw the silver, his eyes widened immediately. He only earned three taels of silver in a month. This girl spent one tael at a time. She must be from a wealthy family.

"Hey, girl, tell me what you want. I will definitely get it done for you." The officer took the silver with a smile and looked at the children's army behind Qiao Linxi. He was a little confused. How could someone who spent one or two taels of silver at a time be dressed so shabbily?

"We are refugees from somewhere else and plan to stay here, but we are unfamiliar with the place and would like to ask you to take us to find a place to eat."

"That's no problem."

The officer took the silver, said something to his companions, and took Qiao Linxi and the others into the city.

"Sir, we want to find a cloth shop first so that my brothers and sisters can change their clothes. Do you know where we can find one?"

The official patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. But prices have risen in recent years. If you want to buy clothes for all the children, it will be a lot of money."
