Chapter 230 Settling Down
After finishing the treatment, Doctor Jiang finally had some free time. Qin Xiaoning slowly walked forward, bowed slightly to Ms. Jiang, and slowly told her about her origins.

Jiang Nv looked at the girl and saw that she had an extraordinary temperament and a sweet appearance. She couldn't help but like her. She smiled and said warmly, "Su Nv has already written to me. I have been waiting for you."

Then, he pulled Qin Xiaoning and said, "I'll take you back to the house to talk first."

Qin Xiaoning said politely: "Please take care of the things here first."

Seeing that she was sensible, Jiang Nu liked her even more and said repeatedly, "It's okay. The woman is out of danger now. Juxian can take care of her."

Having said that, he personally took Qin Xiaoning back to the house.

Doctor Jiang's husband's surname is Zhao, and they are a medical family in the Qianzhou area. The Zhao family's house is also on the Suwang main road. The house is spacious and built in an ancient style. It is obvious that this family has a profound heritage.

Ms. Jiang personally took Qin Xiaoning to the residence prepared for her. It was a neat and quiet courtyard with three full main rooms and two side rooms. Flowers and plants were planted in the courtyard, and the row of asparagus fern under the east wall was particularly lush.

The main room is also elegantly decorated, and every furnishing is carefully designed.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoning bowed to Jiang Nu and thanked her: "A Ning left the mansion and was alone and helpless. I am sorry for causing trouble to Madam."

Jiang Nu smiled and helped the man up, saying, "Mr. Su and I are close friends. Since you are her favorite disciple and I have been entrusted by her, I am doing this as a token of my gratitude. Miss Qin, please don't be so polite. Our family has nothing else, but we have plenty of houses and mansions. As long as Miss Qin doesn't mind, you can live here with peace of mind."

Qin Xiaoning naturally wouldn't live here forever, but she had just arrived and having this safe place to live wouldn't keep her from getting too rushed.

"Thank you ma'am for your kindness. Ning is very grateful."

Qin Xiaoning thanked her politely and chatted with Jiang for a long time. Jiang inquired about Su's situation in detail and was very relieved to know that she was fine.

After she finished speaking, Jiang Nu called a maid named Wang and asked her to take care of Qin Xiaoning's daily life.

The woman was in her early thirties, with a long face. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but her features were kind, and her words were clear.

After Jiang Nu left, she started to prepare water for Qin Xiaoning to wash up, and called the maid at the door to bring pine branches to fetch Qin Xiaoning's luggage from the inn. She took care of all the affairs for Qin Xiaoning in an orderly manner.

From the woman surnamed Wang, Qin Xiaoning got a general understanding of the situation of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family currently has an old man, who was the old man who was seeing patients in the inn just now, Ms. Jiang and her husband, and their two children, a boy and a girl. The eldest son is also a doctor and is in his twenties, and the youngest daughter is only seven or eight years old.

After settling down in the Zhao family, Qin Xiaoning began to make plans for the future.

She currently had more than one hundred taels of silver on her, all of which was the monthly allowance she had saved from the mansion. As for the huge treasury that Lu Ji had given her extra, the girl didn't bring a single cent with her.

The Lu family raised her, and she had no way to repay them. She took the hundred taels just to make a living, and she didn't want to take anything more.

In addition to the one hundred taels of silver, she also brought out some jewelry, which were all given to her by Lu Ji on a daily basis. However, the girl did not want to exchange them for money to make a living. These were all Lu Ji's love for her, and she just wanted to keep them as a keepsake.

With the current price, one tael of silver is enough to cover the expenses of a family of three for three or four months. For her and Songzhi, if they just want to have enough food and clothing, four or five taels of silver a year will be enough.

But Qin Xiaoning didn't intend to live such a hard life. She planned to rely on her own ability to lead her sisters to live a good life. Even if it was not as good as the luxurious clothes and food in the mansion, at least they had to have enough food and clothing, and be decent and wealthy.

When Qin Xiaoning first arrived in Qianzhou, she planned to explore the area first to see how her calligraphy was doing here.

When she was in the capital, she once took her calligraphy to a calligraphy and painting gallery. The shopkeeper gave her sixty taels for one piece of calligraphy, and that was without bargaining. Although Qianzhou was not as prosperous as the capital, it was also a rich place. There were many shops on the street, and there were no fewer shops reselling antique calligraphy and paintings than in the capital.

Qin Xiaoning and Song Zhi packed their luggage while planning: "Tomorrow, let's go to the calligraphy shop on the street to have a look."

Qin Xiaoning and Songzhi had mentioned that they wanted to make a living by selling calligraphy. Upon hearing this, the little maid said hurriedly, "I wonder if the people here know what they are talking about? I see that this place is close to the sea, and business is prosperous, but I hope that all the people here are uneducated."

Qin Xiaoning smiled faintly: "You don't have to worry about this. In any rich place, people pay attention to reading. Although it's not as good as in the capital, a copy of my calligraphy can at least sell for twenty or thirty taels of silver."

Songzhi immediately felt more confident after hearing this.

If this is the case, they will never have to worry about food and drink.

There will be something to look forward to in the days ahead.

Qin Xiaoning continued, "After we have a look at the market, we will pay attention to the mansion."

"We still need to buy our own house?"

This was beyond the little maid's expectations.

Songzhi stopped what he was doing and asked anxiously, "It costs a lot of money to buy a yard."

Qin Xiaoning replied: "So I have to see what the market is for my calligraphy first, and then I will plan to buy a regulated yard."

"If it's not worth the money, we'll buy a smaller house first. If the market is good, we'll buy a decent house directly."

Seeing that the little maid was fascinated by what she heard, Qin Xiaoning said, "Then we can buy two guards and hire a maid to take care of the housework, and we can just enjoy our lives."

"I'm not destined to be blessed." Songzhi smiled. "If I could have my own house, that would be the best. As for enjoying life, I don't want that. I have plenty of strength and can work."

Qin Xiaoning folded the clothes in her hands carefully and continued, "When I am older and we are familiar with this place, I can go to the wealthy families to teach the young ladies how to play the zither. I can play the zither quite well. During those years in the mansion, I practiced the zither hard so that I could make a living in the future."

She raised her eyes to look at the pine branches, her bright eyes gleaming with brilliance: "Anyway, I believe that as long as we work hard, the days ahead will surely get better and better."

Qin Xiaoning encouraged him, and Song Zhi also became excited. He said with a smile, "When we have our own house, I can make snacks and sell them. I grew up in a wealthy family, and I don't have any other skills. But I can make snacks and soups, which are definitely better than those made by ordinary people."

"A Ning, let's all work hard and we won't have to worry about having a bad life."

The two little girls are looking forward to the future and are full of confidence.
