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

Wei Cailan's husband's surname was Zhou. He had served in the imperial court for decades. However, when he was about to return home in glory, he was framed by a treacherous villain and his entire family was exiled.

He had been an official all his life and he loved the court. Although this pastoral life was very comfortable, he always felt that there was still some heat in him that had not dissipated.

But an exiled person like him was a criminal. Not only was he not allowed to return to the court, he was not even allowed to do anything to make a living outside.

This made Mr. Zhou feel uncomfortable. Now that Qiao Linxi came to him, it was an opportunity for him to make use of his remaining energy. He shouldn't have taken Qiao's.

Therefore, they did not think about it for long, nor did they rush to agree to Qiao Linxi's request. Instead, they replied to Qiao Linxi on the third day. The old couple was willing to follow Qiao Linxi to Lanqing City. Qiao Linxi was not surprised at this.

After staying in Qiaojiazhuang for a few days, Qiao Linxi and his group set out for Lanqing City. Perhaps because they were suppressed by Yue Li's force on the way here, the journey back was unusually smooth.

It was already evening when they arrived at Lanqing City. Qin Xiaoqing was still staying at Qiao's snack bar, while Qiao Wan'er followed Old Lady Qiao back to the capital.

"Miss Qiao," Qin Xiaoqing's heart fell back into his stomach when he saw Qiao Linxi and the others.

"I figured you would be home in the next few days, so I prepared dinner and waited for you."

It has been almost half a month since Qiao Linxi and the others left Lanqing City. Qin Xiaoqing is always worried about them, fearing that something might happen to Qiao Linxi and the other children.

He heard from Qin Guozong that the bandits on the border were rampant, robbing homes and doing all kinds of evil. They were all children and had no guards. If they encountered bandits, they would definitely not be able to protect themselves.

"Good work."

Seeing that the snack bar's business was becoming more and more popular, Qiao Linxi was considering whether to expand the scale and also reform it, not just limited to this snack bar.

However, we have to deal with the academy affairs first.

"Brother Qin, I have two people here who can teach at the academy. Do you think it's okay?"

As they spoke, Wei Cailan and Zhou Lao got off the carriage. Seeing these two people, Qin Xiaoqing opened his mouth in surprise.

Who said Qiao Linxi was just a country girl? Although she was born in the countryside, her circle was full of big shots in the capital.

"Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou..."

Qin Xiaoqing naturally knew Mr. Zhou, he just didn't expect that they would be here and know Qiao Linxi.

"Qin family boy, why are you here?"

Old Zhou was also very surprised to see Qin Xiaoqing. Isn't the Qin family in the capital? Why is it here?

"My father has been assigned to serve in Baiyun City for three years. Recently, someone came to the court to impeach my father, arguing that it didn't rain and the people had no food to eat. I was worried that something might happen to my father, so I came here."

Speaking of this, Qin Xiaoqing still felt a little uncomfortable. Except for Qin Guozong and a baby Qin Ruxun, all the other people from the Qin family who came to Baiyun City were still in prison.

"Oh. Is it Gu Changfeng? Only that person would do such a thing."

Qin Xiaoqing shook his head: "No, it was someone else. But I was still a step too late. When I arrived, the Qin family had already been raided and the Qin family members had been imprisoned."

Mr. Zhou walked up and patted Qin Xiaoqing on the shoulder, saying, "Everything will be fine."

Qin Xiaoqing nodded: "Yes."

Because he knew how to clear the Qin family's name. He just needed to wait for the right time.

This time, Qiao Linxi and the others came back with Yue Li, in addition to the Zhou couple. Qiao Linxi really couldn't understand why this female warrior refused to leave.

Looking at the masked knight with a cold aura all over his body, Qin Xiaoqing felt that Qiao Linxi was really a strange man who knew everyone.

The construction of the academy is nearing completion. The road surface in the courtyard has been paved, the landscaping has been completed, and the tables and chairs have been moved in. Now everything is ready, and only the east wind is missing. All that is missing is the unveiling ceremony.

In order to increase the popularity of the academy, Qiao Linxi specially set up several buffet tables and invited those who had children to bring their children to visit the academy.

This approach attracted a lot of people to watch, and of course, this is the best way to recruit students. It is equivalent to the university open day in civilized society.

The affairs of the academy were handled and everything was going smoothly. Only then did Qiao Linxi have the energy to carefully ask Yue Li why she had been following them.

Before Yuefa could answer, a few down-and-out scholars came to the door of the snack bar.

"Boss, can I still have a free meal today?"

After these words were spoken, Qiao Linxi then remembered that her system had been collecting gratitude points, so she took a look.

I saw a new data opened next to the gratitude value, and the data header was written as "Wish Value".

Wish Points? When was this collected?

"Host, have you forgotten? Didn't the Qiao family guard wish for wine before? I collected it at that time. The wish points can be directly exchanged with the system for what the host wants."

This system is getting stronger and stronger.

"Of course, this system is super invincible in the entire system world..."

Here we go again. Qiao Linxi rolled his eyes at the system in his heart and went to greet those down-and-out scholars.

After being reminded by the system, Qiao Linxi remembered that these were the scholars who had said before that they were going to Beijing to take the imperial examinations.

Seeing their dejected looks, Qiao Linxi knew that they had failed the exam.

"Sure, come in."

A few scholars then walked into the snack bar. Unlike the confidence they had when they came before, they were now full of frustration.

"Hey……"

The scholars looked at each other and sighed.

"Hey, what happened? Did you fail the exam?"

Qiao Linxi didn't mean to laugh at them, but looking at their expressions, she really couldn't help but want to speak.

"I don't know who said it a few months ago that if you don't pass this year, you can take it again next year. If you still fail, you can take it again. Why are you so depressed after failing just once?"

"Boss Qiao, you don't know. We have studied very hard. When others are playing, we are studying. There is no reason for us to fail the exam."

The speaker paused and said, "You don't know the situation in my family. We are not a wealthy family. In order to let us prepare for the exam with peace of mind, my parents didn't let us do any housework at home, just to let us study hard. My parents are farmers, and they have spent all their savings on this exam. Now that we failed, I'm afraid our family will no longer be able to raise enough money for us to take the exam again."

"I don't think it's anything. Let's eat first."

Qiao Linxi prepared some simple meals to entertain a few unfamiliar scholars. She also sat down and said, "Eat, or it will get cold."

A scholar was stunned and asked, "Boss Qiao, are these all free?"

"Well, eat. After that, I have something to discuss with you."
