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

After an hour, Qu Jingyao, her mother and her two sons finally cleaned the wooden house from top to bottom.

"Yaoyao, it's clean now, but if we want to live here, we need to buy some more quilts and rice, but right now..."

Liu was in a dilemma as she was short of money at the moment. The mother and her two children were penniless and they didn't know how to fill their stomachs tomorrow.

"Brother, where is the thing I just gave you?" Qu Jingyao asked her brother with blinking eyes.

Qu Qingchen then patted his forehead lightly, took out the bag of silver from his arms and handed it to Liu.

Liu raised her eyebrows, a hint of doubt flashed across her face.

"Mom, this is what I found when I came here before. It's enough for us to live on for a while, don't worry."

Qu Qingchen was discussing with Liu at this time. While it was still early, he went to the town to buy some food.

When Qu Jingyao heard that they were going to the town, she pulled Liu's arm and shook it, saying that she wanted to go with them too.

"Mother... Don't worry, I have you around, mother..."

"Alright, alright, there's really nothing we can do about you. Qingchen, please take good care of your sister. Go and come back soon."

Liu reached out and poked her, then shook her head helplessly and laughed.

Qu Jingyao communicated with Manman in the space and confirmed that there was no danger before following her brother out.

Liu looked at her worriedly and smiled reproachfully.

"Mom is not a child anymore, you guys go ahead."

When Qu Jingyao and his sister came out of the cave, it was just noon outside.

"Let's go, Yaoyao. I'll take you on a shortcut."

The brother and sister walked through the dense forest and headed straight for a path deep in the forest. Qu Jingyao, however, held Qu Qingchen's arm and looked around cautiously.

At first, Qu Qingchen thought she was afraid of the appearance of wild beasts, so he comforted her that the wild beasts in the mountains were not here and this was not a deep mountain.

"Oh!"

The sharp-eyed Qu Jingyao finally saw her natural enemy on a tree not far ahead. She screamed and grabbed Qu Qingchen's arm tightly.

"Snake...ah!"

"Puff!" Qu Qingchen couldn't help laughing, picked up the stick on the ground and lifted the rat snake away, then turned around and comforted her: "It's okay, Yaoyao, why are you still so afraid of snakes like when you were a child?"

In her previous life, Qu Jingyao was most afraid of mollusks like snakes. Still frightened, she patted her chest and followed her brother closely.

An hour later, the two men saw the city gate.

----Ruyang City.

Qu Jingyao looked at the majestic characters in front of her and followed her brother into the city. She discovered from the original owner's memory that she had never entered the city twice, and both times the old woman Xu did not allow it.

Qu Qingchen watched his sister looking around curiously, and he raised the corners of his lips and patiently explained:

"This Ruyang City is King Li's Shu territory. Although it is relatively poor compared to other places, fortunately, under King Li's care, the people live a comfortable life."

As he said that, he led his sister to the grocery store.

The waiter of the shop asked the two with a smile what they needed.

Qu Qingchen looked at his sister beside him.

"Brother, give us some salt, icing sugar, and some seasonings. Take some of each. Oh, and also the pots, pans, and utensils."

When the waiter heard that this was a big customer, he smiled and asked if they had moved to a new place, and led the two to a nearby cabinet.

The brother and sister picked out a lot of things, and finally asked the waiter to buy two backpacks.

"Sir, the total is eight taels of silver."

Qu Jingyao took out a silver ingot and handed it over. The waiter looked at the two of them curiously and saw that they were very generous in their attire.

Qu Jingyao had asked Manman to help remake all the gold and silver and erase the traces on them before using them.

After paying the silver, she pulled her brother out of the grocery store. The brother and sister decided that one would go to the grain store and the other would go to the embroidery workshop, and finally meet at the city gate.

When the brother and sister separated, Qu Qingchen repeatedly reminded her to be careful.

"Don't worry, bro. I'm not a kid anymore."

She followed the direction her brother pointed and walked straight towards the embroidery workshop.

This embroidery workshop is not very big. My brother told me that the owner is a very nice person and my mother used to take embroidery jobs here.

"What do you need, little girl?"

Seeing such a delicate and clean girl like Qu Jingyao walk in, the owner of the embroidery workshop asked with a smile.

"Um...I want a few quilts, and some fabric and ready-made clothes."

Qu Jingyao looked at the charming woman in front of her. Her neat black hair was tied up with a silver hairpin, and her phoenix eyes were smiling charmingly.

"Come, come, little girl, take your pick here."

She led the person to another cabinet and introduced to her one by one that these were poplar and reed quilts.

Qu Jingyao touched the quilts in surprise and asked with her mouth slightly opened:

"There's reed and poplar fluff in here? Isn't there anything else to keep warm?"

Wan Niang blinked in a daze, then looked at the little girl's clothes and realized that her family must be poor...

She smiled slightly and explained that ordinary people used this to keep warm in winter, while the rich and powerful used wool quilts, rabbit fur quilts, and quilts made of other animal furs.

Qu Jingyao then realized that there was no cotton in this dynasty, and the fabrics people wore were mostly linen, with the better ones being silk brocade and gauze.

"Then let me have a look at the wool quilt and the rabbit fur quilt." After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Wanniang curled the corners of her lips, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She nodded slightly and called to the people behind her to bring the quilt she wanted.

In the end, Qu Jingyao chose two rabbit fur quilts and two wool quilts. In addition to simple linen and poplar cotton clothes, she also selected furs for warm weather.

Finally, he didn't forget to buy two pieces of cloth and needle and thread.

"Little girl, I see you've bought everything. Do you want to pick out some shoes?"

Wanniang kindly reminded her, and Qu Jingyao slapped her forehead. She almost forgot about this because she had seen her brother's shoes being worn out.

After buying these, Qu Jingyao asked about the price, but she didn't expect that the quilt was so expensive.

"The total is fifty-two taels and three cents of silver. The three cents will be erased from your account." Wanniang said with a smile as she clattered the beads on the abacus.

Qu Jingyao was surprised. No wonder ordinary people could only wear reed-flowered clothes.

She took out the silver and put it in front of the counter. When she turned around, she saw a bag of rags in the corner of the cabinet. There were a lot of silk and satin scraps in it. She could take them back and use them.

She pointed and said, "Could you sell me that, Madam Boss?"

Wanniang looked in the direction of her finger and saw that it was the bag of useless scraps. She raised the corners of her lips and smiled slightly.

"If you want to give it to you, then I will. It's because I like you so much!"

As she spoke, Wanniang reached out and pinched her smooth little face, scaring Qu Jingyao so much that she shrank back with a silly and shy look on her face.

This made Wan Niang cover her face and laugh. The little maid beside her shook her head helplessly and explained to Qu Jingyao that their boss lady had no ill intentions, she just... just liked to tease pretty girls.

Qu Jingyao smiled awkwardly, paid the money and discussed with them whether she could come back later to let her brother pick it up, as she really couldn't move it by herself.

"Okay, leave it here and don't worry."

After saying that, Qu Jingyao said goodbye to Wanniang and turned to leave the embroidery workshop.

She walked towards the meeting place her brother told her to go, only to see her brother standing under a tree not far from the city gate, looking around anxiously.

"Brother, I'm back. Hey, why didn't you buy any food?"

Qu Qingchen frowned and said in embarrassment that the price of food had suddenly risen, and many people were rushing to buy food.

"Price increase, did you ask why the price increased?"
