Chapter 231 Settlement 2
The clinic was also busy at night. Some patients with acute illnesses could not tell day or night from the truth. Qin Xiaoning did not see any of the Zhao family. The woman surnamed Wang brought delicious meals to the master and servant. Just as they had finished their dinner, Juxian brought Miss Zhao to the yard.

The young lady of the Zhao family was about seven or eight years old. She had two pigtails tied with red silk ribbons. She had a round and cute face. She was lively and lively. When she saw Qin Xiaoning after entering the house, she said in surprise without waiting for Fengxian to introduce her, "This sister is so pretty, like a fairy in a painting."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Juxian beside him: "Sister Ju, you really didn't lie to me."

Juxian smiled cheerfully, raised her hand and dotingly pinched the little girl's nose, then introduced her to Qin Xiaoning, "This is our young lady, her name is Ling'er. This child is used to being wild and doesn't know any rules. Please don't mind if it's rude, Miss Qin."

Qin Xiaoning smiled and replied, "Ling'er is adorable, I like her so much."

Hearing that Qin Xiaoning liked her, the little girl immediately smiled. She came up to Qin Xiaoning, looked up at her, and asked in a childish voice, "Sister, you have such good skin. How did you keep it that way?"

Qin Xiaoning's skin is as white as snow and softer than tofu. Anyone who sees her will be amazed.

However, this enviable good skin was nourished by eating the priceless bird's nest since childhood. It was Lu Ji who immersed her in the rich nest and slowly nourished her skin. It could not be concealed by ordinary rouge and powder.

Qin Xiaoning glanced at the innocent look of the little girl, raised her hand and stroked her round little face, and said softly: "Sister didn't use any good rouge, it's just that I have loved eating vegetables and fresh fruits since I was a child, and slowly, my skin got better."

"My sister said the same thing as my mother." The little girl smiled with her eyebrows and eyes curved. "I didn't believe it before, but now that my sister has set an example, I will definitely eat more vegetables and fresh fruits in the future."

Juxian smiled and teased the little girl, then said politely to Qin Xiaoning, "Master, she is still busy in the clinic. She has several patients to see in the evening, so she can't spare the time, so she asked me to come and see the girl."

She asked earnestly, "Miss Qin, are you used to living in this room? The master has instructed that if you need anything, just tell Sister Wang."

The Sister Wang that Juxian mentioned is the woman named Wang who serves Qin Xiaoning.

Upon hearing this, the woman said quickly, "Madam, please don't be polite to me, Miss Qin. If you need anything, just tell me. If I don't take good care of you, Madam will blame me."

Qin Xiaoning smiled and asked Juxian to tell Jiang Nu that everything was fine, and asked her to just be busy and not worry about herself. She added, "I want to go to the street tomorrow to see what the rules are in this mansion."

Juxian understood what Qin Xiaoning meant. She smiled and replied, "Although our family is a big family in Suwang City, we have always been open-minded and never restrict the women. Otherwise, how could our master go out to practice medicine in public?" She raised her hand and touched Ling'er's head, smiling and said, "And our young lady also goes out for a run every day."

"If Miss Qin wants to go out, just go out directly. If you want to use a carriage, then let Sister Wang tell the driver. We have our own carriage, and everyone can use it. It's very convenient."

Qin Xiaoning said hurriedly: "I won't go far, so I don't need a carriage. I'll just go outside with Songzhi to take a look."

Upon hearing this, the woman surnamed Wang volunteered, "Miss Qin is new here and is unfamiliar with the place. I will accompany Miss Qin out tomorrow."

Qin Xiaoning nodded and agreed.

Juxian said, "Miss Qin, please rest early. I will go back first."

Juxian was about to take Ling'er away, but the little girl was not happy about it. She pouted and said, "I want to stay with this fairy sister for a while longer."

Juxian hurriedly coaxed her, "Sister Qin will be living in our house from now on, are you still worried that you won't have the chance to get along with her?"

The little girl was still reluctant, and hummed in response: "It's still early, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Seeing that Juxian was still trying to persuade her, the little girl smiled mischievously: "Sister Ju, you are in such a hurry to leave, are you planning to go back and make cakes for your brother?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Juxian blushed and stammered, "I was just worried that Miss Qin might be tired."

The "brother" that Ling'er mentioned should be the young master of the Zhao family. I don't know where this Miss Juxian came from, but judging from the way she addressed Jiang Nu, she should be Jiang Nu's apprentice. She likes the young master of the Zhao family.

You can tell from her shy expression.

Ling Er became even more naughty after hearing Ju Xian's explanation: "Every time my brother comes back, Sister Ju has to prepare snacks for him overnight. I'm not kidding. You're in such a hurry to go back because you want to go to the small kitchen to make snacks for my brother, right?"

Seeing Juxian blushing, the little girl became even more excited and clapped her hands, shouting, "I was right."

"Don't talk nonsense." Juxian's face became even redder.

On the second day, Qin Xiaoning and Song Zhi got up early, and after packing everything, they followed Mrs. Wang out.

When the woman heard that Qin Xiaoning was going to the calligraphy and painting gallery, she was a little surprised.

"Can the girl read?"

In this day and age, only ladies from wealthy families had the opportunity to read and learn to read. The woman didn't know Qin Xiaoning's specific background, but judging from her appearance and demeanor, she seemed like a daughter of a wealthy family. However, since she came here to seek refuge, she must not be from a high-class family.

For a moment, the woman was unsure of Qin Xiaoning's background.

Qin Xiaoning saw through the woman's thoughts and did not hide anything. She replied generously, "I am an orphan who was taken in and raised by a wealthy family when I was a child."

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder he has such a dignified demeanor.

"That noble family also taught their daughter to read and write. That's really rare." The woman praised sincerely.

Rare indeed.

She was a little orphan who was taken in by a government mansion and brought up to be a very smart and lively girl. She was also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

It was her luck, and also Lu Ji's kindness.

I wonder how he is doing now?
He must hate her for being cruel, and he just hoped that this hatred would dissipate quickly so that everything would be fine for him.

Suwang is a prosperous city with many shops lining the streets. The streets are bustling with people coming and going, making it very lively.

Qin Xiaoning was led by the woman and visited many calligraphy and painting galleries along the long street. Shuwang was a prosperous place for business and travel, but it was also a place with rich cultural heritage. There were four or five calligraphy and painting galleries on this long street alone.

Among them, two were the largest, with three floors of exhibition halls, filled with calligraphy, paintings and antiques. Qin Xiaoning wandered around here for quite a while and got to know the market conditions.

If her calligraphy were placed in these two houses, at least one copy could be sold for around forty taels of silver.

The little girl felt relieved. On the way back, she passed by a cosmetics and jewelry shop and picked out a few things that girls would like, intending to give them to Juxian and Ling'er.
