I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

After staying in Qiaojiazhuang for a few days, Mrs. Qiao felt relieved. She was anxious to go back, so she suggested that Qiao Linxi and her four siblings should follow them back to the capital to trace their roots.

At the dinner table, several children looked at the unusually sumptuous dishes and felt a little uneasy.

When they heard Mrs. Qiao ask them to follow her back to the capital, the four children all looked at Qiao Linxi at the same time.

"No, what are you looking at me for?"

Qiao Linxi was speechless. How come these kids had no opinions at all? She really didn't want to follow Old Lady Qiao back to the capital, but her thoughts didn't represent those of Qiao Linqin and the other four.

"I've said it before, whatever you choose is fine."

"Sister, aren't you going?"

Even though Qiao Linxi beat Qiao Linshu several times, the boy became closer to her.

"Don't worry about me. If you want to go, go ahead. I won't stop you."

Qiao Linshu held Qiao Linxi's arm and asked, "If elder sister doesn't go, I won't go either."

This kid called Old Lady Qiao so sweetly a few days ago, but he refused to go back to the capital with her.

"If Big Sister doesn't go, we won't go either."

Qiao Linqi also said so, only Qiao Linqin bit her lip, she wanted to go. Only by going to the capital and having a prominent status can she be worthy of Brother Xiao. Only by going to the capital can she have more opportunities to get along with Brother Xiao.

Qiao Linqin was only ten years old, but children in this society matured early. In addition, she and Xiao Ji had been through hardships together, so she had the idea of ​​marrying Xiao Ji to repay him.

"Lin Qin, you want to go, right?"

Qiao Linxi noticed the confusion on Qiao Linqin's face and asked.

But Old Lady Qiao looked at Qiao Linxi and asked, "Why don't you want to go? You are all the blood of my Qiao family. I can't let you wander around outside."

After reading the letter written by Qiao Zijin, Old Mrs. Qiao was able to accept Qiao Linxi, but she never expected that Qiao Linxi actually didn't want to go.

"Grandma, you know I've always been free and easy. The places like the capital, which are full of etiquette and rules, are not suitable for me. The Qiao family is a big family. If I, a country girl, go to the capital and make a mistake, it will be the Qiao family who will lose face."

"You can learn the rules if you don't know them. You are so smart, you will definitely be able to learn them."

Qiao Linxi shook her head. "I don't like that kind of life. I don't want to spend my whole life in the backyard of my house. They can go if they want, but I won't go."

Just kidding, Qiao Linxi is a modern person. She was born in a free and peaceful era, without so many rules. Under great pressure, there was even crazy criticism of literature. No one would laugh at someone for having no rules.

Old men and women of her era would not stay at home all day. They would go out to do square dance, play chess, walk the dog, and lead a colorful life. No old person in any family would stay at home all day, staring at their children and grandchildren.

"Sister, I, I won't go either." Qiao Linqin gritted her teeth and said, "I think Brother Lin Bao is right. We are just a group of country kids now. If we go to the capital, we will only be ostracized. We must climb to the highest position through our own efforts, and then stand proudly at the gate of the Qiao family and tell everyone that we are children of the Qiao family."

Qiao Linxi looked at Qiao Linqin in surprise. She was willing to give up the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich lady.

Having said this, Old Mrs. Qiao said no more. She looked at her five children and realized that there was some truth in what Qiao Linxi said.

Except for the fifth child Qiao Linhua, who was only five years old, the others were eight or nine years old, not to mention Qiao Linxi, who was already a marriageable girl. Habits were already formed and it was difficult to change them.

"In that case, I won't say much. I've been away from Beijing for more than a month, and it's time for me to go back. Lin Xi..."

Old Mrs. Qiao took out a jade pendant from her bosom and placed it on the table: "This is a token of my Qiao family. Since you can open a shop and do business, I will hand over the Qiao family caravan to you to manage, and you can slowly get familiar with the Qiao family's business."

To Mrs. Qiao's surprise, Qiao Linxi still rejected her. "Grandma, you don't have to hand over the caravan to me. I am confident that I can make my snack bar stronger and bigger. Then no one will look down on us."

"Even if you don't take over the caravan, you still have to take this jade pendant. It's a symbol of our Qiao family. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can go to the Qiao family's store and offer this jade pendant, and the people in the store will help you."

In this case, Qiao Linxi couldn't postpone it, and she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't encounter difficulties in the future.

After receiving the jade pendant and eating the meal, Qiao Linxi prepared some dry food and water for Old Lady Qiao and instructed the guards to send Old Lady Qiao to the capital safely.

"Lin Xi, remember to send the letter home..."

Qiao Linxi stood at the entrance of the village with her four children and watched Old Lady Qiao and her group leave until they could no longer see their figures, then they turned around and went home.

"Sister, are we going to stay at home? Are we not going to Lanqing City?"

Qiao Linxi scratched Qiao Linshu's nose and said, "If you stay here, can you farm? If you can't farm, what will you eat?"

Before leaving, Qiao Linxi specially brought some sealed meat to Wei Cailan's house.

"Xixi is here?"

Wei Cailan was surprised to see Qiao Linxi and didn't understand why they didn't follow Old Lady Qiao back to the capital.

"Grandma Wei, you came from the palace in the capital, right?"

Wei Cailan was stunned. She had always kept her identity a secret. How could Qiao Linxi know it?

"Grandma Wei, don't be nervous. I don't mean anything else. I just thought that you came from the palace and must be very familiar with the court etiquette. I want to ask you to go with me to Lanqing City. I built a school there and I want you to teach the girls the court etiquette. You know, although we are still here now, we will have to go back to the capital one day. We can't embarrass the Qiao family by not knowing anything, right?"

Seeing that Qiao Linxi really came to ask her for help, Wei Cailan breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at her old man, she asked Qiao Linxi again: "Do you know why we are here?"

Qiao Linxi shook her head. "I don't know. I just want you to help me teach the girls etiquette. And Grandpa, if possible, both of you should go to Lanqing City with me. I think Grandpa has a lot of experience and can definitely teach the children a lot of things."

Wei Cailan smiled and said, "You are such a cunning girl. Go back and let me discuss this with your grandfather."

Qiao Linxi nodded and left.

Wei Cailan then looked at her husband and asked, "Well, what do you think? Do you want to agree to Qiao Linxi?"

The man was over sixty years old, and although his hair had turned completely white, he was still full of energy. Although he was dressed like a farmer, his majesty could not be concealed.

"This little girl went out for a while and came back a completely different person. Since she knows our identities and can still say such things, she will definitely not care about our sins."
