Chapter 36: The Wanderers

The crane finally took his eyes away from the bustle outside the window. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The capital is really prosperous!" Xiao He sighed.

The red clothes and orange clothes in the car nodded in unison, and only Mama Zhang wanted to say nothing.

Xiaohe naturally saw Mama Zhang's expression, and knew what Mama Zhang was afraid of.

It was not easy for a woman to do things after all, especially in the small area on the north edge of the city.

Xiaohe knew that it was a slum in the capital, which was originally a gathering place for ordinary people, and later there was an influx of people who had left their homes due to various natural and man-made disasters, so the place became poorer and more chaotic, and it can be said that one-third of the cases in the capital happened there.

The whole capital, there is an imperial city in the south, there are many powerful and high-ranking officials on the east and west sides, and the middle position is full of various shops, and there are many small officials in the six departments, rich merchants, and people with a little bit of family background.

As for the north part of the city, the left and right sides of the road from the north gate to the imperial city are also rich and lively.

Xiaohe's Chengqi Bookstore and Tianyi Pavilion are all here, and they don't receive low-level people.

Xiaohe wanted to go to Luhua Street, a street that seemed poor and chaotic compared to the rest of the capital, not far from the city gate. It's really a street as its name, as worthless as a fluttering reed flower!

Xiaohe can understand Mama Zhang's feelings, she decided not to go shopping, and went to Tianyi Pavilion to take a spin first.

Summoned Xiao You, who was following behind the carriage, to whisper a few words. Xiao You nodded, and Xiao He's carriage turned to Tianyi Pavilion.

Mama Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Half an hour later, Xiaoyou and a teenager came out of the back door of Tianyi Pavilion and headed for Luhua Street.

The boy was dressed in ordinary clothes, his face was a little dark, but his eyes were dark and bright. The body is a little thin, and the clothes seem to be bigger, at first glance, it is a clever little guy from a big family.

Xiaoyou is dressed as a rich uncle, and it is rare to lose a smile on the baby's face, and he has a bitter face, as if someone owes him.

Can you not be bitter? Xiao He, who is about to officially become the cousin of the Zhenguo Mansion, is beside him.

This girl's master willfully wants to disguise himself as his little maid and go to Luhua Street, can he not be worried......?

Xiaoyou didn't dare to think about it, so he could only secretly ask the Buddha for his blessing.

Xiaohe is the opposite, she is too excited. How wonderful it was for her to go back to the way she had been, to go shopping freely.

As for the slum street, Xiaohe really doesn't have too much resistance, not to mention the equality of all living beings in Buddhism, that is, in her own thoughts, there is a difference between people and people, but the poor are also people, and Xiaohe never discriminates against the poor.

At this time, Mama Zhang, Chiyi and others who were fooled were still waiting in the Tianyi Pavilion box!

Luhua Street is actually not too far from Tianyi Pavilion, Xiaoyou walks fast, and Xiaohe is not slow.

One of the two has a sad face, and the other has a happy smile, although this combination is strange, but the mood of getting to the destination quickly is the same.

In only a quarter of an hour, Luhua Street arrived.

The crane's smile slowly retracted.

As soon as you enter Luhua Street, the bustle and bustle of the capital have disappeared, and there is a dirty mess in front of you.

The streets that were not big in the first place, a pile in the east and a lump in the west, were full of messy things. The houses on both sides are very old, and there may be a lot of leaks, and everything looks very messy.

Most of the people who rush through the streets are dressed simply. There are yellow-skinned children playing on the street, the big ones are with the small ones, many of the children's clothes are patched, and a few are even wearing autumn clothes, and their noses are hanging down for a long time.

There are also many small shops on both sides of the street, most of which sell simple food and daily necessities.

In front of a food restaurant, children look eager for freshly baked bread.

Xiaohe's face had an unbearable look, and her hand unconsciously reached into her pocket, and when she touched it, there was nothing.

Xiaohe was embarrassed, as if after having them in red clothes, she no longer had the habit of hiding her own money.

Xiao You next to him handed over a money bag knowingly.

Xiaohe took it, motioned for Xiaoyou to wait for her, and then walked quickly into the shop that sold noodles.

The chubby boss greeted him warmly, "This young man, what are you going to do, bread or soup?"

Xiaohe took out a piece of broken silver from the bag and put it on the board, "Did you see the group of children on the street?"

The fat boss nodded, "See, it's all from this street, and they all know each other!" and then wondered, "Did the child offend the master?"

Xiao He choked and glared at the fat boss, "My uncle is kind-hearted, invite these children to eat cakes, is this silver enough?"

"Enough, enough......" The fat boss was stunned, and was sighing that this little guy had good eyes! The children in the neighborhood are hungry for food in their own store, but they are also small businesses, so how can they take care of it?

The fat boss arched his hand towards Xiao You who was standing on the street, and he didn't know which young master had a good heart.

Xiaohe thought for a while, and took out another piece of silver, "Since you know these children, this silver will buy winter clothes for a few people who need them!"

"Thank you, uncle, thank you!" The fat boss nodded again and again, beckoning, "Children, come here!"

With a hula, more than a dozen children rushed in.

While the fat boss greeted the children, Xiaohe retreated and stood next to Xiaoyou.

"Aunt, the son is really kind!" Xiaoyou sighed, is it because of this that these people were already loyal to the girl when they were in Qingshan Town, not after the girl is rich and powerful now.

Xiaohe glanced at Xiaoyou, "You are the uncle, I am the little guy." Gone!"

Xiaoyou was dumbfounded, and continued to walk forward.

By the time the fat boss explained clearly to the children, served the cake and found a good Samaritan, the two of them had already gone away.

"More than half of the people on this street are homeless people who have settled in the capital, but life is not easy. Xiaoyou said as he walked.

"What do they do for a living?"

"Men drive cars, deliver vegetables, kill pigs, build houses, and send funerals, pull dung, do everything, women's laundry, spinning, and being wet nurses, and the boys compete to go to big families as small maids, and many girls are sold to big families as maids, and some are sold to Qinglou by ruthless fathers and mothers. Xiaoyou said, with some sadness in his voice.

The crane noticed. Lin Mao mentioned that Xiao Zuo and Xiao You were both sold since childhood, and their father and mother died and were sold by their uncle.

"Yes, the life of the people at the bottom will never be easy!" Xiaohe sighed, if he can get by, how many children can be willing to endure hardship?

Xiaoyou agreed, maybe his uncle was like this! Thinking about it like this, his heart was much more comfortable.

"By the way, Xiaoyou, take a closer look, if there is any abandoned big yard here, buy one or two places down. ”

"Yes," Xiaoyou didn't dare to call the girl, so she could only nod, "Don't worry!"

Xiao He smiled sideways, "You find a few more diligent and good-hearted, regardless of men and women, how to do it, and when you are busy in the past two days, come to me to get the charter." ”

Xiao You was about to continue nodding, but a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face.

The crane was puzzled and was about to speak. I only heard the sound of horses' hooves, and my body was light, and I was carried on the back of a horse, and before I could react, my neck hurt, and then I didn't know anything.
