Getting up in the morning is not too difficult for Wan Qing. Self-discipline has always been her zodiac sign, and a strong will is even more necessary.
I have long been used to dressing myself.
It's not difficult to leave Xiao's Mansion. Her yard is right next to the wall. She only needs to climb over a few connected walls to get outside.
Going to the Su Mansion, judging from her master's tone, it was naturally impossible for her to go there on a horse or in a sedan. Instead, she had to use her legs to walk or run there step by step. Otherwise, she would not be allowed to go there.
It's been an hour.
When she came back, she secretly calculated that it was about five kilometers from the Su Mansion to the Xiao Family. If an adult walked at a normal speed, he could get there in half an hour. If he walked faster, he could get there by running.
Yes, it is completely unnecessary.
But for a normal seven-year-old child, even an hour is unlikely.
Fortunately, Wan Qing has never been a normal child.
As soon as she left the Xiao Mansion, Wan Qing recognized the road and started jogging in the direction of the Su Mansion. The speed was not fast, but steady.
Because it was still early, there were no pedestrians on the road yet. Even on the street Zhao Yan mentioned during the day, Wan Qing did not see a single person.
Exactly one hour later, Wan Qing arrived at the Su Mansion. She was panting, almost breathless, and couldn't even speak. But she still didn't dare to sit down and rest directly. Instead, she kept walking on the school grounds, lap after lap.
Circle until your breathing returns to calmness, then slowly stop.
During this period of time, except for her master who glanced at her when she first arrived at the school grounds, there was no one else in the entire school grounds.
"Girl, madam, please come and have breakfast."
Wan Qing had just stopped when the old woman she saw yesterday appeared out of nowhere and stood on the edge of the school field, waving to her.
Wan Qing immediately walked over with a smile, "Mother-in-law, morning!"
The old woman smiled and patted Wan Qing's hand, looked at Wan Qing up and down, "Girl, when did you get up?"
"Yinshi."
The smile in the old woman's eyes deepened, and she led Wan Qing to the front hall. Next to the reception hall, there was a small hall where breakfast was served. Mrs. Su was already sitting in her seat, still looking calm.
Make a face.
"Disciple Wan Qing, I would like to pay my respects to the master." He bowed politely.

"Keeping your respect in my heart, come and have a meal." Mrs. Su still said calmly.
"Girl, there is water over there, go wash up." The old woman pointed to a wooden shelf in the corner of the small hall, with a copper basin on it, half full of water.
Wan Qing walked over immediately, and subconsciously grinned as soon as she put her hand into the basin. However, she didn't say anything. She just washed her hands quickly, took some water, patted her face, and wiped it with a cloth.
After wiping off, I walked to the table.
"Sit down." Mrs. Su was still cold.
Wan Qing sat down with a smile on her face. Mrs. Su was in charge, the old woman was on the left, and Wan Qing was on the right. There were only three of them on the same table, and breakfast was very simple, with white porridge, steamed buns, and a plate of salted radish.
.
When Wan Qing looked at the plate of salted radish, she was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that the radish was anything special, but that she didn't expect that the Su family's breakfast would be so... uh, simple.
He quietly looked up at Mrs. Su and the old lady, and saw that they were eating breakfast as usual, so he suppressed his curiosity and concentrated on eating.
However, I still subconsciously muttered in my heart, "Is the master's family very poor?"
Thinking about this, she felt that it was very possible. Mrs. Su didn't seem to see any maids waiting for her. Yesterday, she saw only four or five women of different ages, some unmarried and some married.
, miscellaneous women, cleaning and delivering tea.
The one I saw the most was the old woman, but although the old woman was sweeping the snow together yesterday, she didn't look like a servant at all. How could a servant eat with the master?
"Wash dishes with Granny Lan." After dinner, Mrs. Su stood up and left, but before leaving, she left another sentence lightly.
Wan Qing was stunned again after hearing this, but she still just blinked and immediately responded obediently, "Yes."
It's okay to wash dishes with ice-cold water, it's just a little colder. As long as you move more, your hands will soon stop being numb and regain consciousness.
However, the curiosity in her heart became more and more intense, reaching the point where she could hardly suppress it.
So, while she was washing the dishes, she asked Granny Lan.
"Mother-in-law, the master's family is very... uh..." After thinking about it, she changed the way of saying it, "Isn't the master's family rich?"
Disaster arises (6)
She probably didn't expect Wan Qing to ask such a direct question. Granny Lan was stunned for a moment, and then she didn't hide it: "That's right!"
"how come?"
"The Su family was once brilliant, but later it declined, and only the wife was left in the entire Su family. Although the wife was very strong, she knew nothing about running a business. Not only did she not make any money, but she continued to lose money...
In the end, we can only rent out the remaining shops and collect some rent to survive..."
"It's a pity that by that time, there are not many shops left in the Su family...the rent collected every year is only enough for daily expenses."
No wonder, no wonder it’s so economical. Since we can’t increase revenue, we can only cut costs.
"Grandma Lan, Madam asked Miss Wan Qing to go to the school grounds."
Wan Qing had just finished drying the last bowl, and the voice urging her sounded at the right time.
"Go, girl."
Granny Lan waved her hands.
There was no one to guide her, but she could find it anyway, so she went directly to the school grounds.
"Choose a weapon you like." When Wan Qing arrived, Mrs. Su was standing in front of two rows of weapon racks. When she saw Wan Qing, she said calmly.
There were many more weapons on the weapon rack than when Wan Qing saw it yesterday. Wan Qing looked at the weapon rack again carefully. There were swords, hooks, hairpins, guns, pestles, halberds and axes. Whether they were long or short, as long as
