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

The next morning.

Qu Jingyao had just put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands when she heard Lingling's voice outside.

"Yao Yao, Yaoyao!"

Liu smiled as she cleaned up the dishes on the table. She looked outside the yard and saw Cui Lian and her daughter walking in with smiles on their faces.

Following behind her were Fu's mother and daughter and Yu. She hurriedly handed the dishes and chopsticks to Baiguo, wiped her hands on her apron, and welcomed them into the house.

Aunt Cuilian looked at the beads arranged on the kang and said in surprise, "Wow, these are all what we made yesterday. There are so many. I hope we can sell them for a lot at the temple fair today."

Lingling then pulled Qu Jingyao's arm and shook it, saying that she must go to the temple fair with her today.

Liu Zhier, standing by, looked at the two sisters with envy at their good relationship. She lowered her eyes shyly and stepped back behind her mother.

Qu Jingyao also noticed her at this time, raised a faint smile and asked: "Sister Zhier, do you want to go to the temple fair with us?"

Liu Zhier looked up at her in surprise. She didn't expect her to ask her. Her face instantly turned red. She shook her head embarrassedly and said timidly that she would better accompany her mother to do the work.

"Well, Sister Zhier, take a look at this. Can you embroider it?"

Qu Jingyao took out a drawing and handed it to her.

When Liu Zhier saw the pattern, her eyes lit up. Her favorite thing was embroidery.

"The little animal in this picture is so... so special and so cute!"

Several aunts also praised the pattern, saying it was unique and would look great if embroidered.

Seeing their reactions, Qu Jingyao smiled and explained that this was used to embroider a handkerchief. The pattern was drawn according to the twelve zodiac animals, and the little animals on it all looked cute.

She took out the embroidery tools and silk thread she had prepared earlier and gave them to Liu Zhier, and told her the requirements. Fu's mother and daughter nodded in response with joy in their eyes.

However, Qu Jingyao looked at Fu's hesitation and asked in confusion.

"Auntie, are you having any trouble?"

"Auntie knows I shouldn't speak now, but..."

"Just tell me straight."

After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Liu also tried to comfort Fu.

Fu's mother and daughter exchanged a glance and sighed, "Yao girl, I'll be humble this time and ask you to convert this month's wages into rice. We're running out of rice at home, and the price of grain in this town has skyrocketed."

Only then did Qu Jingyao realize that Fu's mother and daughter had reached such a state of distress. Looking at the mother and daughter crying in each other's arms, she tried to persuade them. Even the aunts beside them sighed and comforted them.

"Baiguo, go to the kitchen and fill up twenty kilograms of rice for Auntie. Auntie will eat first."

When Fu's mother and daughter heard this, tears immediately rolled down their cheeks and they were about to kneel down.

She and Liu stopped her.

"Aunt, there's no need to be like this. Even if we're not an employer-employee relationship, my mother wouldn't stand by and watch you get into trouble!"

Aunt Cui Lian was also there to persuade and comfort them, telling them that if they felt bad, they could just work as good servants here in the future. Wouldn't that be helping Miss Yao?

After thinking it through, Fu's mother and daughter nodded in agreement.

Qu Jingyao saw that it was almost time and reminded her mother that it was time to leave.

"Aunt Cuilian, I'll leave the housework to you and the two aunts. Sister Zhier, you can embroider slowly first. I have something to do today so I won't be with you."

After saying that, Qu Jingyao smiled and took Lingling with her and walked out of the house first.

Outside the courtyard gate, Qu Qingchen and Dashan were waiting for them with the oxcart.

"Mom, Yaoyao, are you all ready? Don't leave anything behind."

"Don't worry, Master. Everything is ready."

As he spoke, Baiguo smiled while holding a package.

Liu and several others got on the ox cart. Looking at the prey on the cart, she told her son to go to the town and be more careful about everything so as not to let the Wu family take the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I'll be with Qingchen this time and everything will be fine. We'll take you to the temple fair first and pick you up later."

Liu nodded in agreement and reminded the two to be careful.

Dashan drove the ox cart towards Lingshui Temple at the foot of Qingyang Mountain.

Qu Jingyao sat beside Liu and looked at the many people on the road carrying loads or riding in ox carts, all running towards Lingshui Temple. She thought that the temple fair must be very lively.

"Yaoyao, look, there are a lot of people at this temple fair." Lingling pointed to the foot of Qingyang Mountain in the distance, where a dark mass of people was crammed in.

Liu told the two men to follow her closely and not get lost, otherwise it would be bad if they met a beggar.

"Mom, don't worry."

"Madam, don't worry. I will stay by your side." After Bai Guo finished speaking, Lingling gave her a thumbs up, praising her for having Bai Guo around so that she wouldn't have to worry about anything.

Baiguo coughed lightly in embarrassment.

The ox cart had already arrived not far from the foot of Qingyang Mountain. Because there were too many people in front, it was impossible to continue driving the ox cart forward, so Dashan could only park the cart on the side of the road.

"Auntie, the oxcart can't go through. There are too many people."

"It's okay, Mom, let's walk over. It's not far anyway."

Qu Jingyao looked ahead and could only see the backs of heads in the distance.

Liu was helped down from the ox cart by Qu Qingchen. After she stood still, she gave her son a few words of advice, then called her daughters behind her and they slowly walked towards Qingyang Mountain.

Lingling took Qu Jingyao's arm and saw the crowd chattering excitedly with her.

Qu Jingyao kept an eye on his mother.

Bai Guo followed Liu and Qu Jingyao all the time, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings, fearing that the crowd would squeeze their master.

They looked at the people around them carrying baskets filled with incense, candles and other things needed for burning incense. Qu Jingyao patted her forehead and muttered that it was bad and she had forgotten about it.

"You! Mom has prepared everything." Liu lifted a corner of the basket and said to her in a reproachful tone.

Qu Jingyao and Lingling looked at each other and laughed foolishly.

While chatting and laughing, they soon followed the crowd to the foot of Qingyang Mountain. They walked up the stone steps to the wide area in front of the temple gate, where there were vendors selling all kinds of goods.

"Mom, there's still room. Let's put it there!" Qu Jingyao raised her eyebrows and looked happily at a place selling pancakes.

Seeing Liu nod in agreement, Baiguo hurried forward to take that position.

"This is the place we've chosen first! Go aside!"

While Baiguo was packing her things, she heard a harsh sound coming from above her head. She frowned in displeasure.

"Is your family's name written on this? And you chose it, who are you?"

Bai Guo looked at the girl in front of him with cold eyes. She was not much older than herself. She was wearing a linen dress with floral patterns and patches on the shoulders. At this moment, she was looking at her with arrogance and looking down on her.

Qu Jingyao was dragged by Lingling to walk around the temple fair. She saw that there were many people gathered in front of each stall, and there were even more people gathered in front of her own stall.
