The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

In Daxi Village, in the small courtyard where Su Qingyan rented, everything was kept in order. Except for Mu Yao, all the five girls were hardworking.

Among them, Su Qingyan is the most knowledgeable and experienced. Several people follow her lead and obey her command.

They first cleaned the rooms and assigned sleeping areas. There were two bedrooms to choose from. One was the master bedroom with a large wooden bed. The other bedroom had a brick kang (earthen bed) with a table on top, which could accommodate four or five people.

Su Qingyan and Linglong occupied the master bedroom, while Mu Yao, Xiangcao, and Xiaocao slept on the earthen kang. None of the five had any objections.

The furniture in this house was quite old, but it was polished to a sleek shine. It looked like the owner took good care of it; perhaps it was the mistress's dowry! Su Qingyan urged everyone to be careful when using it, and not to bump or bump it.

They also found some old bedding in the kitchen. Su Qingyan had just been worried about the bedding, but now they had it all. They took out all the bedding and hung it out in the yard to dry.

The kitchen was equipped with all kinds of pots, pans, and utensils. The girls were very happy. Among the five girls, only Zhaodi and Xiaocao could cook.

At this moment, the courtyard, which had not been used for a long time, was filled with the smell of fireworks and the sound of laughter.

Last night, Su Qingyan and a few others sat down and held a small meeting.

Su Qingyan said, "As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. We will be sisters from now on. To make our lives more comfortable, we should talk openly about everything and not discuss it in private. If there is anything, we should discuss it together and solve it."

Everyone said "yes"!

Su Qingyan added, "We've experienced life and death, so we should cherish the hard-earned days ahead. We still have a long way to go! We can't always rely on others, we have to find a way to survive."

Everyone was silent. Yeah! There was still a lot of time left! How were they supposed to survive?

Vanilla was the first to speak: "Miss Su, I will follow you. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I am not planning to get married anyway. I will follow you. Just give me a bite to eat. You can even let me be your maid!"

When Xiaocao heard that she could be a maid, which was her dream, she immediately expressed her attitude: "I can be a maid too."

Linglong was unhappy: "I am the young lady's maid, and my indenture is in her hands. Do you have an indenture?"

"This..." Really not.

Su Qingyan was speechless! When was it ever a matter of pride to have a contract to sell one's body?

"I, I don't want to be a maid anymore. I was kidnapped because I exchanged clothes with a maid." Mu Yao looked at Su Qingyan with tearful eyes.

"Sister Su, I will only listen to you from now on, but I want to go home and find my brother."

Su Qingyan touched her head lovingly and promised with a smile: "Sister will definitely help you find your family in the future."

The sky in Daxi Village has just brightened.

Su Qingyan didn't like to sleep in, so she got dressed and prepared to go wash up. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a person standing in the yard.

Xiaocao wandered back and forth at the door, as if he wanted to go out but couldn't make up his mind.

"Xiao Cao?" Su Qingyan walked over and saw the girl wearing a ragged, unlined shirt and a pair of ill-fitting shoes tied with hemp ropes. The cold wind blew against her, turning her face and body purple. She didn't know how long she had been standing there in the early morning.

"It's so cold, what are you doing standing here?"

"I, I..." She didn't know if it was because she was cold, but she couldn't speak for a long time.

Su Qingyan quickly pulled her to the kitchen, filled the pot with water, and lit the fire in the stove. This was a new skill she learned yesterday.

"Come and warm yourself by the fire, you'll get sick."

Xiaocao was forced to sit on a small stool in front of the stove. She rubbed her hands and tears welled up in her eyes.

"What's wrong with you? I noticed you were very nervous when you entered the village yesterday. Xiaocao, tell me, are you from Daxi Village?"

Xiaocao's tears finally fell, and she choked up and said, "I'm not from Daxi Village, I'm from Dahe Village, but, but, my uncle's house is here."

Su Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. If she was really from Daxi Village, then they would have to find a way to move.

"You want to go to your uncle's house?"

"No, no, no, I can't go. I've already hurt them once, they must hate me to death."

So Xiaocao told the story of being sold for the first time and the second time.

Su Qingyan felt that she was already quite miserable, but she didn't expect that there were many people in this world who were more miserable than her.

She patted Xiaocao's head gently and said, "Don't worry. You're lucky to have such a good uncle protecting you. Once we get to know the villagers, I'll go and ask around for you. Don't go out for the next few days. If someone recognizes you and alerts the human traffickers, it will be terrible."

After hearing this, Xiaocao was frightened and kept assuring everyone that she would never cause trouble.

At this time, except for Mu Yao, everyone got up. They all had a good sleep last night, and the girls looked more lively today.

Su Qingyan suggested that they take apart the clothes picked up from the carriage, alter them, and give each person a piece of clothing. This task was given to Linglong, who was best at needlework, and the other girls could also help.

People in the courtyard began to alter clothes in full swing.

Mu Qingcheng and Xiao Hei have arrived at Daxi Village in a carriage.

The big locust tree at the entrance of the village was crowded with people again. Two elderly men in their octogenarians sat in the middle with dull eyes, surrounded by women. Everyone's hands were busy, some were picking beans with winnowing baskets, some were mending clothes with needles and thread... their hands were busy and their mouths were busy too. The scene was very lively.

Mu Qingcheng was still a little girl, and she loved to join in the fun. Whenever the carriage passed the big locust tree, she wanted to jump out and join the women's meeting.

"Hey! Look, look, that's a carriage!"

"That's right! Whose relative is this? This is incredible."

"Does that coachman look familiar to you?"

"Does he look like the person who delivered the ox cart to the Xu family a few days ago?"

"What's similar or not? I just look at it."

Xiao Hei quickly lowered his head and thought to himself that he might not be able to be a secret guard in the future because the scar on his face was too recognizable.

The carriage stopped at the village chief's house again. Xiao Hei went to knock on the door, and this time a woman in her forties opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "You are the wife of the village chief, right? The village chief is at home."

The woman had never heard anyone call her "Madam" before, and her face immediately lit up with a smile.

"You're here to see the village chief, right? He's at home. What do you want from him?"

"Who is it?"

Before Xiao Hei knew how to answer the village chief's wife, the village chief had already walked out of the main hall.

"Mo Yu is here to disturb you again, village chief." After saying that, he bowed to the village chief.

The village chief was surprised again. Why did this guy come again? Although he was surprised, he still went out to greet him.

"Oh! Nephew Mo." This time he no longer called him young knight, but directly called him nephew, which made the relationship closer.

"Hurry up, please come home!"

The village chief enthusiastically wanted to pull Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei turned around, walked to the carriage, and reached out to open the curtain.

The village head and his wife saw a very dazzling girl getting off the carriage.

The girl wore a lotus-pink top embroidered with pink and white crabapple blossoms, paired with a plain off-white pleated skirt. She also wore a rabbit fur cape over her clothes. She looked like a goddess descending from heaven, so dazzling that it was hard to open your eyes.

Mu Qingcheng wore a friendly smile and bowed to the village head and his wife. Actually, she didn't know how to bow. She just watched too many TV dramas and imitated them.

However, in the eyes of the two village chiefs, this was a big deal. This person was obviously a person of great value, and how could they return the favor when they, the local farmers, paid their respects?

The village chief kowtowed and bowed, and his wife didn't know how to return the gesture. She wanted to imitate him and perform such a beautiful gesture, but how did he place his feet just now? Which one was in front and which one was behind?

I haven't figured it out yet! I only heard Mu Qingcheng slowly say: "Excuse me, village chief. My last name is Mu Gui and my given name is Qingcheng. I am Mo Yu's cousin. I came here today to ask for something."

"Oh, no problem, no problem." The village chief finally came to his senses and looked up to see that he was surrounded by villagers.

The village chief was anxious. She was a real lady from a noble family, how could he let people see her so easily?

Looking at Mu Qingcheng again, she looked calm and composed, without a trace of timidity or shyness. The village chief praised her in his heart, thinking that her demeanor was definitely not that of an ordinary girl.
