"Sanjin's courtyard? How big is it?"
Qiao Linxi was amazed that she had only seen that kind of courtyard house in later generations. That kind of courtyard should only belong to the first entrance. Is the third entrance courtyard equivalent to the size of three sets of courtyard houses side by side?
"Sister? What yard?" Qiao Linqin was confused. Her sister had become abnormal since she met the robbers a few days ago and often talked to herself. Could it be that she is really a fairy descended to earth?
"Nothing, let's pack up and let's go. I think the famine here is not that serious. Let's take a walk 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 distance was too far. It would take several months for children like them to reach the capital with their own strength. She gave up the idea.
Looking at the map, the town ahead is called Lanqing City, which is estimated to be about ten miles away from their current location.
Qiao Linxi's eyes suddenly lit up. Then the yard the system gave them was in Lanqing City? How arrogant it would be to have a courtyard with three entrances in the city.
Thinking of this, Qiao Linxi felt energetic all over. Anyway, she now had money, enough for her dozen younger brothers and sisters to go to the city.
"Everyone, keep holding on. When we get to the next city, we will all go in and eat delicious food."
Qiao Linxi knows how to draw cakes. As soon as she said this, all the children became excited. These children in the Qiao family are all farmers' children, and none of them have ever been to the city. Even when there was no drought before, the adults in the family were buried in the crop fields all day long and never took their children out of the village, let alone into the city.
Perhaps because she knew there was a large courtyard waiting for her ahead, Qiao Linxi's steps became much more brisk.
"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 while: "There are many people in the city, the houses are very tall and big, and there are a lot of delicious food. And they dress very nicely, Nuo, just 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. He always remembered what the city was like.
"Brother, can we eat delicious food after entering the city?"
"Brother, can we live in a big house after entering the city? Do we have beautiful clothes to wear?"
Qiao Linjin and Qiao Linyu are twin girls who are just nine years old this year. When their younger brother Qiao Lintang asked his brother, they also asked him.
Qiao Linbao glanced at Qiao Linxi's back: "Yes. As long as we work hard, we will definitely get what we want."
Maybe it was because the delicious cakes eaten in the city were too big and too fragrant. All the children walked ten miles in one breath without feeling tired.
For the sake of her three-in-one yard, Qiao Linxi felt that she was walking too slowly and really wanted to find a place to stay. You can't go on forever with so many younger brothers and sisters, right?
If you can have a place to stay, even if the house is dilapidated and the life is poor, it is still worth it.
Ten miles, equivalent to a distance of about five kilometers in Qiao Linxi's era, would take more than an hour to walk normally, which is half an hour in ancient times. But Qiao Linxi and the others were all children. They walked for nearly an hour and arrived at Lanqing City at noon.
Qiao Linxi brought a group of children to the city gate. This was no exception. There was a city fee to enter the city.
Qiao Linxi took out the money bag that Gu Changfeng handed her. She was sure that this bag was not given to her by Miss Qin. This should be Gu Changfeng's own money bag, because she asked about the same smell as Gu Changfeng's.
She doesn't care so much, the money is hers once she gets it. She wouldn't be so stupid, not wanting this free money because of some reasons.
When she opened the bag, she saw that it was full of silver ingots. Qiao Linxi, who had no idea about money, was a little nervous, so she had to pull Qiao Linqin over and ask, "Qinqin, do you think how much silver is there?"
"Sister..." Qiao Linqin looked at the silver ingots in surprise. There must be dozens of taels at least. She had never seen so much money.
"Here, there should be five taels per Yuanbao. There are about twenty or thirty taels here."
Qiao Linxi still had no idea, so she asked Qiao Linqin: "Let's go to the city for ten cents each, and nineteen people will be one hundred and ninety cents. This money should be enough."
"Sister," Qiao Linqin looked at Qiao Linxi in surprise. How could she escape? She, the eldest sister, didn't know money yet? "One tael of silver is equal to a thousand cash. Do you think you have enough here?"
"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 scissors to cut off a small piece. It's worth ten cents anyway."
A treasure of five taels is equivalent to five thousand coins. They only need two hundred coins, which is five thousand coins...
Well, Qiao Linxi was taught mathematics by her physical education teacher. She couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't waste her brain cells and directly exchanged the wish value from the system for a pair of small gold scissors. These scissors are specially designed to cut silver. They are not ordinary scissors. , I used Qiao Linxi’s ten wish points.
Qiao Linxi cut off a small piece of silver a little larger than a fingernail and took it out. She looked at it and felt it was not enough. Two hundred coins is one-twenty-fifth of five thousand coins. This bit of broken silver should not be enough for one-twenty-fifth of the Yuanbao.
Qiao Linxi gritted her teeth and cut off a fifth of it. It made Qiao Linqin feel a lot of pain. It was only a tael of silver.
Qiao Linxi naturally had her reasons for cutting off her hair once or twice. She walked towards one of the guards under Qiao Linqin's painful eyes.
"It's ten coins to go to the city. If you don't have money, you don't have to talk."
"Master, it's like this. I have eighteen younger brothers and sisters, and they all have to go to the city. I have some money here, and I will give it all to you, but I still have something to ask you."
Qiao Linxi handed the broken silver piece to the official. When the official saw the silver, his eyes immediately went straight. He only had three taels of silver for a month on the job. This girl always makes one or two, so she must be from a wealthy family.
"Hey, girl, tell me, I will definitely handle it for you." The official smiled and took away the money. He looked at the army of children behind Qiao Linxi. He was a little confused. How could someone pay back a tael of silver at a time? How about wearing such shabby clothes?
"We fled from other places and plan to settle here, but we are unfamiliar with the place and want to ask the official to take us to a place to eat."
"That's no problem."
The officer collected the money, spoke to his companions, and took Qiao Linxi and the others into the city.
"Master, we want to find a cloth shop first to change clothes for my brothers and sisters. Do you know where to buy one?"
The official patted his chest: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. But prices have risen in recent years. If a girl wants to buy clothes for all her children, it's not a small sum of money."
