Quick Transmigration: Snatching Golden Fingers - Chapter 13
[Concubine’s Palace Fighting System 2]
The old man was dressed in tatters, his clothes did not cover the cold, and his lips were purple from the cold, but he unbuttoned his clothes shiveringly, wrapped Wen Qing inside, and used his body temperature to warm the frozen Wen Qing.
The smell on the old man’s body was really bad, but Wen Qing was very grateful. Even though he was not hungry, he still picked up on her as a burden. She sighed in her heart, there are still many good people in this world.
As soon as her mind moved, she took out two golden beans from the space, held them in her palms, and “inadvertently” let the old man see them later, and took them for some food and clothing. Before she came, she chose the space gold finger, and it really came in handy. This space is the golden finger of the heroine who was taken away in the apocalyptic world before, and it is filled with a lot of materials collected in the apocalypse, which is exactly what she will need in her life.
The old man held the little baby in his arms, so he didn’t stay outside, and carried her back to his shelter, a ruined temple.
Wen Qing was placed on the haystack, and then the old man raised a fire in the center of the temple, and the ruined temple with air leaking from all sides gradually warmed up.
“Wa’er, drink some pads first, and then Grandpa will ask for some rice soup to feed you.”
The old man, surnamed Qi, has no children and no daughters, and is a lonely old man. At this moment, he picked up a little baby. Although it is a female doll, it makes him feel that after having it, it hurts like being a granddaughter.
Wen Qing took two sips from the broken bowl, and then stopped drinking. If she drank too much, she would urinate. She didn’t think that she had the conditions to change her clothes now. Wearing wet clothes in this winter would be fatal.
The old man Qi muttered to himself, “This baby is really worry-free, she doesn’t cry and doesn’t make trouble, why did your parents throw you away so cruelly?” After speaking, he touched Wen Qing’s swaddling clothes again, “Look at this material. It’s also from a rich family, so you can’t afford to support it, right? Could it be that some big family was in trouble and had to put you there?”
Wen Qing showed his small hand while he was turning over the swaddling clothes, and when he spread it out, a golden bean was exposed.
“Huh? This is…” The old man Qi was stunned first, then startled, quickly put away the golden beans, looked around to see that no one was there, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
“Looking at it this way, it is indeed a child of someone in distress. Since your parents took great pains to leave you money, they should not throw you away. It is also fate that our grandparents and grandchildren met. The old man will definitely take good care of you, and maybe we will be able to meet you in the future. Parents know each other…”
The old man rambled, the fire was warm and warm, Wen Qing couldn’t hold back the sleepiness, and gradually fell asleep.
When she woke up again, Wen Qing found that she was no longer in the ruined temple, but a farmhouse. The old man Qi also changed his ragged shirt full of patches to a brand new green cotton padded coat, and was standing in front of the stove cooking.
The air was filled with the sweetness of rice, making Wen Qing unable to help swallowing. Seeing her awake, the old man Qi smiled cheerfully, “Wa’er awake? Grandpa will cook porridge for you, and I’ll give it to you later.”
Well, it was porridge. In the end, Wen Qing only had rice soup. She was too young to eat porridge. But just drinking rice soup is not enough. After a few days, Old Man Qi brought back a sheep and boiled goat milk for her. Although goat milk has a strong odor, there is no way to do it. In order to survive, I have to drink it hard.
There was milk powder in her space, but she was afraid that it would scare Grandpa out, so she had to guard Baoshan as a poor man.
Under the careful care of the old man Qi, Wen Qing gradually grew up. The old man also took her to the village scholar’s house and gave her a name, still called Wenqing, but with the old man’s surname Qi, Qi Wenqing.
The old man Qi had been starved for many years, and his body had long since fallen into disrepair. If it wasn’t for Wen Qing’s two golden beans to improve his life, he might not be able to survive that winter. But even so, the old man Qi didn’t live long. When Wen Qing was two years old, he died.
Before his death, he handed Wen Qing to the Xiucai family for support, and gave the rest of the money to the Xiucai family. He knew that the Xiucai family were good people and would not treat Wen Qing harshly, so he could feel at ease.
However, Wen Qing did not stay at the Xiucai’s house. She had a plan, but she was too young and could not bear to leave her grandfather alone, so she did not leave. Now the only concern has passed away, so Wen Qing left Xinghua Village after Old Man Qi passed the first seven.
Her space can enter, she secretly climbed into an ox cart going to the city, and then entered the space, so that when the ox cart moved, she would move with it. When she got to the city, she did the same thing and got into a carriage and was taken to the wharf by the carriage. Then all the way down the boat to Guangzhou…
Wen Qing promised Xu Wenqing to change the status of women in the world. This is easy to say, but it is not easy to do. How can the thousands of years of tradition of male superiority and inferiority be changed? Must use some special means.
Overthrowing the rule of feudal dynasties and establishing a modern country where men and women are equal is the most fundamental way. It is simple and crude, but it is not realistic at all. The economic base determines the superstructure, and the people of the Qing Dynasty are still in the era of small peasant economy relying on the sky. It is impossible to overthrow and start over all at once.
Therefore, it is a good way to emulate Wu Zetian as a female emperor. During Wu Zetian’s period, although the status of women did not change fundamentally, it was much better than other dynasties. Women could show their faces, become officials in the dynasty, even raise their faces and keep male pets… What men can do, women can do , even the emperor is a woman, who dares to say anything?
However, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, and Wu Zetian had worked hard to become the emperor. In the more conservative Qing Dynasty, it was even more difficult for her to become an emperor. But no matter how difficult it is, how do you know you won’t succeed if you don’t try?
Her going to Guangzhou this time is not the ultimate goal. Her ultimate goal is to go overseas, travel around the world, and find a more reasonable excuse for the future rebellion, oh no, reform.
Therefore, Wen Qing did not stop after arriving in Guangzhou, and took a boat to Nanyang to start an overseas trip.
She has space, so she doesn’t have to worry about food and clothing. Everywhere she goes, she searches for local specialties, jade and jade in Southeast Asia, gems and crops in America, robberies and steam engines in Europe, etc. Anyway, her space is infinite. As long as they take away everything they see, of course, they give money.
It took her nearly fifteen years to travel almost all over the earth. During this period, she not only gained huge wealth, but more importantly, increased knowledge and experience. These invisible gains are her most precious wealth.
In the 45th year of Kangxi’s reign, Wen Qing, a wild phoenix in distress, finally returned to the Qing Dynasty, and the Kowloon Conquest of Inheritance had already begun.

In Xinghua Village, the cicadas were chirping and the summer breeze was refreshing. A few urchins were playing in the creek beside the village. Suddenly, a regular “ta-ta” sound came, and a carriage drove by the entrance of the village.
A handsome and well-dressed young man jumped out of the carriage and asked, “Excuse me, where does Li Changchun and Li Xiucai live?”
A few urchins saw strangers at first glance, and the other party was respectful and courteous, and they looked like nobles, but they didn’t dare to answer, and pushed each other away.
The teenager, Wen Qing who just returned from overseas, smiled and grabbed a handful of candy, distributed it to several children, and asked, “Can you tell me where Li Xiucai’s house is?”
A few children were conquered by the candy, and they became bolder. They laughed and showed her the way. They took them all the way to Li Xiucai’s door. Only then did they shout, “Grandpa, there are guests in your house!” Then they ran away with a laugh. .
Li Xiucai’s family heard the reminder and hurried over to open the door, only to see an unknown young man standing outside the door.
“You are?”
“Grandma Li, I’m Wenqing! Qi Wenqing, I lived next door to your house with my grandfather when I was a child.”
Surprised and delighted, the Li family quickly welcomed Wen Qing in, “Oh, it’s really Wen Qing! This face still looks like a child! Where have you been all these years? You disappeared when your grandfather passed his first seven years. , the people in the village searched for it, but they couldn’t find it for several days, and they all said that your grandfather couldn’t bear you, and the first seven came back and took you away…”
Wen Qing smiled and said, “Lao everyone is worried, I was taken by kidnappers, and then I was living in Guangzhou. By chance, I went to Nanyang with a ship that went to sea. Later, I went to many places and just came back this year. I can remember early. , I still have some vague memories of my childhood, and after inquiring many times, I finally found this place…”
Wen Qing explained the whereabouts of these years in a few words. She has been missing for fifteen years, so she must fill in the blanks of these years, otherwise her origin will be unknown.
When the Li family heard this, they sighed in their hearts that the child had a bad fate, was abducted and lived overseas. They were afraid that she would think of the sad things, so they didn’t ask more, but said that she would go home and live well in the future.
Wen Qing politely declined, and handed over the gifts one by one, all kinds of gems, pocket watches, dioramas… all kinds of rare items filled the table, staring straight at the Li family. When he came back to his senses, he shied away, saying that it was too precious and so on.
“Grandpa Li, just accept it. This thing is considered rare and worthless. When you were young, you took great care of our grandfather and grandson, so it’s not a big deal.”
The Li family could not shirk, so they had to accept it. Wen Qing stayed in Xinghua Village for a few days, repaired the tomb of the old man Qi, built a village school for the village, and asked the Li family to complete the household registration before leaving the north.
The goal this time is the capital.

The drizzle in early autumn was already a little cool. Wen Qing was walking on the streets of Beijing in a windbreaker, a pair of long boots and a transparent umbrella.
Her gentile attire attracted the attention of many people, and she turned heads 100%. Wen Qing didn’t care, she dressed like this on purpose, so that people could see her identity as a “returnee” at a glance.
Wen Qing’s body looks really good, it can be said that the country is alluring. Although she dresses strangely, she looks tall and heroic. Pedestrians on the road only looked at her, and head-butting incidents occurred from time to time. This scene was also seen by several nobles on the third floor of Hongyun Building.
“Ninth brother, is this a French woman? The clothes she wears are very similar to Zhang Cheng’s tuxedo.”
“Zhang Cheng is blond and blue-eyed, so must a French woman. This woman has black hair and black eyes. She should be from Qing Dynasty. However, I am more curious about the umbrella in her hand. I have never heard of such a transparent material!”
“Since you’re curious, just go down and ask where she bought it!”
“Don’t be abrupt, old ten, she’s unknown, so let’s just observe for a while.”
“Mynah, you’re just too careful, why don’t you just ask? Wait, I’ll ask!”
