Chapter 512
Sister Yu didn't finish her sentence, Qingzhu already understood what she wanted to ask, she shook her head slightly, and then said to Sister Yu: "It's all about poverty, don't mention this question in the future, and don't think about it."

"Yes." Sister Yu was just curious at first, but now that Qingzhu said this, she naturally obediently agreed, and never mentioned this again, just said: "Miss, I will comb your hair for you."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Qing Zhu couldn't comb the hairstyle of this ancient woman well so far, so she either simply tied her hair, or asked the servants in the mansion to help comb her hair.

As for the way back from Shangjing to Xiajia Village, Sister Yu helped her comb all her hair.

Sister Yu just finished combing Qingzhu's hair, Xia Xiaobao also washed the dishes and chopsticks for the morning, came to look for Qingzhu, looked at her and said, "Sister Qingzhu, I have washed and packed everything, Is there anything else you need to do here?"

Qingzhu looked at Xia Xiaobao, shook his head and said: "It's nothing, Xiaobao, if you have something to do, go back first, I'm going out here too, I'm going to the county town. Your parents are very busy, you go home and help It’s good to do something, I won’t take you to the county seat.”

"Well, good." Xia Xiaobao nodded, looked at Qingzhu and said, "Then Sister Qingzhu, I'll go back first."

"Okay. By the way, Xiaobao, an ethnology school may be established in the village in the future. Do you want to go to school?" Qingzhu asked after thinking about it.

"Sister Qingzhu, is it true? We want to establish an ethnology in our village? Can I go too?" Hearing Qingzhu's words, Xia Xiaobao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Qingzhu and asked repeatedly.

"Of course it's true. When did Sister Qingzhu lie to you?" Qingzhu looked at Xia Xiaobao and smiled, but then, Qingzhu looked at Xia Xiaobao again and said, "Actually, Sister Qingzhu wants to take you to the capital, but I don't know if your parents Will you agree?"

"Because I want to open a pharmacy in Shangjing, and you can learn from a clerk at that time. But it will be a little harder. If you want to learn to read and write, it's not as easy as at home. At least there will be a professor at home , when we arrive in Shangjing, only Sister Qingzhu or someone else is free, so I will teach you a little bit."

"By the way, you can secretly discuss this matter with your parents, so don't make it public, do you understand?"

"Well, I understand." Xia Xiaobao nodded, looked at Qingzhu and said seriously: "Thank you, Sister Qingzhu."

"Silly boy, why are you thanking me. It's alright, go back quickly. When Sister Qingzhu comes back from the county, Sister Qingzhu will bring you a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Qingzhu patted Xia Xiaobao's head and said with a smile.

"Ah? Why, but sister Qingzhu, didn't you say you would take me to the capital? If my parents agreed, wouldn't it be a waste for you to buy me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone?" Xia Xiaobao scratched his head, looked at Qingzhu and said .

Qingzhu looked at Xia Xiaobao and said with a smile: "It's just a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Even if you don't stay at home to study, but go to Beijing with Sister Qingzhu, it can still be used. Don't you want to be ignorant for the rest of your life? Then But the lads can’t do well.”

"To be a pharmacy clerk, you must not only learn to recognize and grasp medicines, but also be able to recognize prescriptions and the names of medicinal materials on the medicine cabinet. You don't want to be a handyman doing rough work for the rest of your life, do you?"

"Besides, Sister Qingzhu can't even afford a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Hey, then I won't be polite, thank you, Sister Qingzhu." Xia Xiaobao looked at Qingzhu and grinned, showing his white teeth, and said.

"You boy, when have you been polite to Miss Qingzhu?" Qingzhu looked at Xia Xiaobao and said.

"Then I'll go back first, Sister Qingzhu, my mother is probably still at home waiting for me to get back the money for the eggs." Xia Xiaobao smiled again and said to Qingzhu.

"Well, let's go. We're going out too." Qingzhu said to Xia Xiaobao.

At this moment, sister Yu also combed her hair, and she didn't need to bring anything else, she just took the money and went out.

Wang Er took two guards and went to the county with Qingzhu.

Because there is no carriage or anything, Qingzhu and the others can only walk to Qingshan Town, and then take a boat from Qingshan Town to the county seat.

Just a few steps out of the entrance of the village, before Qingzhu said anything, Wang Er suddenly said: "Miss, the little one in this town has been there before, and it's quite far away, or let the little one go to the town first and hire a Come back to pick you up in a carriage, anyway, the small foot is fast, and you can run very fast."

Qingzhu shook her head, looked at Wang Er and said with a smile: "No need, we can just go together. I used to walk to the town too often. It didn't make sense that I could walk there before, but now I can't."

"However, miss, you are the head of the county, so walking like this seems a bit inappropriate." Wang Er said looking at Qingzhu.

Sister Yu listened and nodded in agreement.

Qingzhu shook his head again and said: "It's okay, anyway, as long as we are away from the boundary of Xiajia Village, whether it's Qingshan Town or Yongning County, few people will know who I am as the county lord, what rules, identity, They are all used to restrain people, we don’t like that.”

Seeing that Qingzhu persisted like this, Wang Er couldn't say anything.

After walking for almost an hour, Qingzhu and the others finally arrived at Qingshan Town. It happened that the boat from Yongning County to Qingshan Town was already there in the morning. The rope was drawn, the anchor was raised again, and the boat was ready to sail.

Two more burly men ran from the pier, and quickly ran towards the passenger ship, but at this time, the ship was already a few feet away from the pier.

The boss of the boat saw it, and hurriedly planned to stabilize the hull, and prepared to go back a little bit.

As a result, without waiting for the boss of the boat to turn the stern back, the two big men jumped up with the strength of running quickly, and jumped onto the boat with a bang.

Because the boat was already a little unstable at this moment, and the movements of the two burly men were particularly brutal, so the moment they jumped onto the boat, the hull actually shook violently.

As the passenger ship swayed, Qingzhu's body also shook violently, if Wang Er hadn't been quick to grab Qingzhu, she might have fallen into the river.

Qingzhu stabilized her body, but suddenly heard a cry of surprise, turned her head to see, it was an old man who fell directly in the cabin and rolled on a wheel.

"Grandfather, are you alright?" A young man about fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting next to the old man. Seeing the old man fell, he quickly stood up and went to help the old man.

The two big men who had just boarded the boat didn't seem to notice that the old man on the boat accidentally fell because of their 'wrong posture' when they boarded the boat.

"Brother, we are lucky, there are still two seats." One of the slightly shorter men pointed at the place where the old man and the young man sat before, and said to the other man.
