Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

Qu Jingyao spent one hundred and eighty taels.

Wang Ya had someone harness the carriage, and the girl went with him to see the yard.

Bai Guo took a few people and carried Mrs. Lin's son to the clinic first.

The Xiaoyang brothers followed Qu Jingyao and headed towards Qing Academy together.

Sitting in the carriage, the siblings looked at the bustling market and the endless calls of hawkers. Wang Yaren then mentioned that the scholar had a request for selling his house.

"Just speak frankly, Wang Yaren." Qu Jingyao's eyes flickered slightly, and a strange color flashed across them.

Wang Ya Ren rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly that the scholar had an old servant in his family who was too old to follow his master.

The old servant also had a mute son, but he had always been the cook in the mansion.

The person who bought the house wanted to keep the father and son, and all the furniture and other belongings in the house.

Qu Jingyao didn't expect there was such a condition.

"Of course you can. Let's take a look at the yard first."

As they were talking, the carriage soon arrived at the destination and the servant stopped the carriage.

Wang Yaren got off the carriage first, and Qu Jingyao's two younger brothers quickly helped their sister down from the carriage.

"Sister, be careful with your step." Xiaochen reminded her considerately.

Wang Yaren really appreciates the warmth of the relationship between the siblings.

He knocked on the door of the second house in the alley.

With a creaky sound, the door opened a crack, and half of the old slave's body popped out from inside.

"It's Wangya people! Please come in."

"Uncle Liang, this girl wants to see the house." Wang Yaren introduced Qu Jingyao behind him. The old man looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, was stunned at first, then opened the door and stepped sideways to welcome everyone in.

As you enter the house, the first thing that catches your eye is a courtyard paved with bluestone slabs. The blue-gray slabs reveal traces of time, and the occasional touch of green moss between the cracks adds vitality to this quaint courtyard.

"Miss, this is the front yard and the main hall."

Uncle Liang walked beside her and introduced her.

Qu Jingyao asked curiously if the owner of the house had moved away.

Uncle Liang nodded and said that at this time only the two of them, father and son, were guarding the house, as the owner of the house had already moved away.

"Xiaoyang, take a look and see if you like it here."

Qu Jingyao took her two younger brothers to look around.

This house is far away from the downtown area, which makes it quiet and suitable for reading. Moreover, the courtyard is elegant and unique. The previous owner was a person who was fond of culture.

Seeing her two younger brothers nodding at her embarrassedly, Qu Jingyao turned around and asked Wang Yanren about the price of the house.

"This house is next to Qing Academy, so it's a bit more expensive than the ones in the downtown area, 380 taels. However, the furniture given by the previous owner has saved you a lot of money."

Qu Jingyao pursed her lips and frowned slightly:

"Wang Ya, please tell me the real price. I'm not from a wealthy family, I just want to be closer to my two younger brothers so they can go to school."

As she finished speaking, Xiaochen pulled her sleeve and said:

"Sister, it's too expensive. We won't buy it. My brother and I can live in the school."

Xiaoyang was also helping out at this time.

Wang Yaren saw this and saw the two little guys trying to drag their sister out. He was panicked.

"Oh, oh, can we discuss this? Look at these two little guys, they're really impatient. Let's put it this way, girl. I'll lose a little, and it will be three hundred and fifty taels."

When Qu Jingyao heard Wang Yaren's words, a gleam of light flashed in her lowered eyes. She took the hands of her two younger brothers and said:

"Xiaochen and Xiaoyang, we are still not destined to own this house. I have 310 taels left after scraping together all this money. I will give you 10 taels as a gift."

The two brothers were also smart. They pulled her and persuaded her that it didn't matter if they couldn't buy a house. If that didn't work, they could just rent one.

Wang Yaren watched the brother and sister talking and drinking, and his heart began to beat fast. He had originally wanted to use the house to make more money, but who would have thought that he would meet someone who was broke? What a shame...

If he wasn't in urgent need of money, he really wouldn't want to sell it so cheaply.

"Miss, the price is three hundred and ten taels, no less. I don't want to lose money on selling a house."

"Deal!" Qu Jingyao nodded happily in agreement without waiting for the Wang Ya man to finish complaining.

Wang Yaren was suddenly stunned. He felt something was wrong. He seemed to be...

When I looked over, I saw the girl comforting her two younger brothers with a worried look on her face. She said she would think of a way to get the money for the repairs when she got back, so her two younger brothers could rest assured.

Seeing the two little guys' expressions as if they were about to cry, Wang Yaren really believed it. He felt that he was too ruthless and the price he quoted was a bit high.

"Wangya people, can we sign the contract now? I have something to do later, so..."

"Yes, of course. I'll take the girl there right away."

As he said that, Uncle Liang handed the indentures of the father and son to Qu Jingyao.

"Miss, this is the indenture between us father and son."

While Qu Jingyao was taking it, she asked Uncle Liang that if she wanted to redeem herself, he would not have to give it to her anymore.

"Miss, do you mean you don't want us father and son anymore? We are old and disabled and we really don't know where to go if we leave the house. How are we going to survive?"

Qu Jingyao quickly asked him to stand up, saying that she didn't mean that. She didn't want to drive them away, she just wanted to ask for their opinions.

"The old slave wants to stay."

Wang Yaren stepped in to smooth things over. The old man was so old and disabled that he didn't know how to survive if he were free again.

If I go out, I will be bullied. It is better to stay at home and be ordered around by my master. I have been used to it all my life.

Uncle Liang nodded with tears in his eyes, and said tremblingly that although he was old, he was still strong and could work for the master for many more years.

"No problem, just stay. You and your son will continue to do your original work. Even if you can no longer work, the family will provide for your retirement. The only condition is your loyalty."

Uncle Liang and his son were so moved by Qu Jingyao's words that they kowtowed to her.

There was a knock on the door, and Uncle Liang hurriedly said he would go open it.

The people who came were Bai Guo and a group of servants.

Qu Jingyao heard Baiguo's voice from a distance and ordered Xiaochen to bring the person in.

"Uncle Liang, this is Sister Baiguo from the family. Behind her are the new people she bought. Let them in."

Baiguo saw Master Xiaochen and walked up to ask, "Where is the master?"

"Sister is inside. We just negotiated for this house. Sister Baiguo arrived just in time. How did you find her?"

Baiguo explained that she had asked for the location when she came out of the pawnshop, and the pawnshop's carriage was outside.

Xiaochen tapped his forehead and smiled, saying that he was confused.

"Baiguo, you came just in time. Go with Wang Yaren to the county government office to get the deeds and their indentures done."

As he spoke, Qu Jingyao had already taken out the silver notes he had prepared earlier, which he had asked Baiguo to exchange, and handed them to Wang Yaren.

"The girl Wang left first."

Baiguo bowed to her and followed Wang Yaren out of the yard.

Qu Jingyao walked towards the main hall with her two younger brothers. She instructed Uncle Liang to settle Mrs. Lin's son first.

"Hey, I'll go right away."
