Chapter 283: Good Deeds
The officers and men at the head did not expect such an outcome at all.
I put something in the inn last night.
But now there's nothing in it, could it be that the thyme they've already discovered?
But in such a short period of time, how could they find out what they were hiding.
The thoughts in my heart turned back and forth, and soon the officers and soldiers led by him returned to normal.
His face also became calm.
Leave with your own people in disgrace.
Thyme looked at the senior brother with some puzzlement.
After everyone left, he asked suspiciously: "Did they put something to frame them?" ”
The senior brother nodded: "I did put something, you come with me." ”
After speaking, the senior brother walked into the kitchen with thyme.
Then Thyme saw the elder brother nimble up to the roof.
When he came down again, the senior brother took a bag in his hand, and when he opened it, the thyme opened it, and it contained clothes and a few darts, and there were blood stains on the clothes.
"Is this what they framed?" Thyme frowned and asked, feeling that Emperor Chongzhen was not smart enough to go there.
Senior Brother nodded: "Although Emperor Chongzhen is stupid, he is also careful, you can see that these clothes are almost the same as the ones I wore yesterday, and they look like real ones from a distance." ”
Thyme was also aware of the problem and frowned and nodded.
Indeed, this dress is similar to that of the elder brother.
The senior brother looked at Thyme and continued: "You put away your clothes, I estimate that I can't make a plan, and Emperor Chongzhen will have a back hand at that time." ”
Thyme nodded. Say you know.
After putting the clothes into the space, Thyme was relieved.
The senior brother sighed: "I'm afraid it's not peaceful recently, Emperor Chongzhen has fought back, and he is making the last effort, you have to be careful in everything." ”
Now in such a situation, Thyme also knows that the situation is serious.
You must not be careless, otherwise you will only be in trouble.
"And what do you think I'm going to do?" Thyme is a little confused now.
Senior Brother Xiaoxiao has obviously thought of a way out for Thyme: "Have you noticed that there have been more beggars in the city recently?" ”
Thyme thinks about it carefully, and usually encounters beggars on the street.
"What does this have to do with beggars?" Thyme was puzzled.
Senior Brother continued: "Emperor Chongzhen is doing so much now, mainly because he wants to ruin your reputation, and now at this time, I think you should build momentum, and it is good to build momentum." When the time comes, Emperor Chongzhen can't move you if he wants to. ”
Thyme thought carefully about what Senior Brother said just now. First talking about beggars and then talking about Emperor Chongzhen, Thyme is not a stupid person, and suddenly thought of the key in the middle.
"You mean to tell me to help those beggars?"
The elder brother nodded and continued, "Helping the beggars is not complete either. I mean helping people in need in the city. Now it's getting colder. You can open the porridge canopy, or hand out cotton clothes and quilts, and so on. And you can leave the rest of your work to your subordinates to do for you, and you sit outside every day. In this way, even if the emperor wants to wronged you, no one will believe it when he says it, so that the emperor's conspiracy and tricks, at least temporarily, will not dare to do it to you, and you have also gained a good reputation for you and your Baili family. ”
After the senior brother finished speaking, Thyme couldn't help but clap her hands.
"Your method is really good, I will do what you say, and I will start preparing for the porridge pie today, I don't think I will look for other places, I will do it directly outside the inn, and I will go to find someone to prepare things in the afternoon."
Thyme felt that the senior brother's method was too good.
The senior brother nodded and said, "I'll go with you." ”
Rich is easy to do, thyme is not only rich, but also people.
In a word, the owner of the rice shop sent rice, and the cotton clothes and quilts were also prepared by the garment shop.
In the afternoon of the same day, Thyme sent people everywhere to publicize and Tongji Inn to distribute porridge.
Maybe Emperor Chongzhen saw that Thyme was on guard, or he was brewing other conspiracy, in short, Thyme slept peacefully all night.
Early the next morning, when Thyme got up, she heard chattering outside.
The people who needed to cook porridge and pie porridge last night stayed at the inn, and now they heard the noise outside, and Thyme called to open the door.
Some people in ragged clothes stood in the doorway, some with bowls in anticipation.
After Thyme asked if the porridge was ready, she opened the door.
Tables were moved out and blocked the doorway, and buckets of porridge were brought out.
Thyme knew that most of these poor people were hard-working.
Therefore, it is also called the kitchen to prepare vegetables, and pots of vegetables fried with fat meat grains are also served.
The chefs who help with the stir-fry today are all borrowed from other restaurants by thyme.
Thyme stood at the door and looked at the crowd that began to be a little chaotic, and said loudly: "You don't have to worry, everyone has it, as long as you line up and come one by one, you will be indispensable when the time comes, but if it is unruly, then we are sorry that such people are not welcome." ”
After Thyme finished speaking, the people who had arranged to maintain order began to organize the team.
The crowd was neatly organized.
Thyme looked at the neat line and was in a better mood.
Thyme was also hungry, so she scooped a bowl of porridge by herself, and began to sit on the table in the lobby and eat it.
Seeing that people as rich as thyme eat the same things as them, most of the people of all ages and children surrounded outside were moved.
Thyme also found that most of the people in line were old, weak, sick and disabled, and when she thought that these people should have lost their families and homes, Thyme felt a little uncomfortable.
The senior brother opened the door at this time, saw Thyme sitting and eating, tidied up his clothes and walked over.
"What's the matter, look at your sullen look?"
The elder brother is sensitive, and it is easy to see the problem from a slight expression, a slight movement.
Thyme sighed and raised her head: "I was thinking that most of these people outside are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they feel uncomfortable." ”
The elder brother is also not inhibited. I also went to scoop a bowl of porridge and a dish and brought it over.
"In fact, these people are people who have lost their homes and families, you see most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, in fact, there is a reason, men are in the army, women can't stand the misery of the family and many secretly run away, older children can work, many girls are sold as rich and noble families as maids, and the rest is these, if not children. Or an elderly person who has no ability to move. Now the taxes are heavy, so many people dare not farm the land, because the crops grown in the land all year round are not enough to pay the taxes. Not enough to pay the rent. ”
The elder brother said this. He sighed heavily.
The atmosphere was a little dreary.
Thyme thought for a while and said, "I think this kind of porridge is also a symptomatic thing." After this time, I'm going to get something out of the way so that these people can have a home. ”
Now we can only take it step by step, and many things cannot be rushed.
You have to plan.
Senior Brother nodded with a smile. Very appreciative of thyme's behavior.
"Do you know why I'm helping you, dad helping you?"
Thyme didn't know, anyway, his intuition told Thyme that the senior brother was definitely not just for eating, there must be other reasons.
And it can't be entirely because of happiness, there must be some other purpose.
The senior brother smiled and said: "Actually, I think your father is a good person, and I can't stand the hardships of these poor people, I have seen too many sad things in the days when I was a beggar, but I don't have the money to help everyone, now you have, I know that your Baili family is not short of anything, especially silver, some things in thyme have cause and effect, since God arranged you like this, arranged for you to come here, then you have your responsibility." ”
Thyme seemed to understand it.
"Didn't you say I came here because of your master? Doesn't it have anything to do with your master that I'm here? ”
Thyme is confused.
Senior Brother smiled and whispered, "My master only helped you, but in fact, it was God who really brought you here. ”
Thyme was surprised at this moment, and hurriedly asked: "You make it clear, what do you mean by this, why is it God who asked me to come here, why do I think I can't understand what you are saying?" ”
The elder brother smiled weirdly and handed Thyme a look that you would understand.
The senior brother seems to have made up his mind not to say it clearly, no matter how Thyme asks at this time, he just doesn't say it.
Helplessly, Thyme could only pout and think about it herself.
In the previous layout of Baili, since Baili said that it was handed over to the senior brother, she would not interfere, but she still paid attention to it secretly.
After eating, thyme participated in the task of pieting porridge.
More and more people heard the news of the porridge pie, and they all lined up in long lines.
The kitchen has not stopped, boiling porridge and stir-frying, and is very busy.
Thyme decided to send porridge to Baili Xiao when he arrived in the royal city.
At that time, Thyme didn't believe that Emperor Chongzhen could make any trouble.
Cotton clothes still need to be prepared, and ready-to-wear shops do not have inventory, so they have to be made new, and they need manpower.
When Thyme heard the news, she immediately hung up a sign and went out.
Recruit people who can do needlework, do needlework well, pay money for food and shelter, and most importantly, give priority to homeless people.
Now this is the time when everyone is most confused and confused, as soon as the news came out, many women and girls came to take the life that day.
Thyme asked someone to prepare the house, arranged for these people to stay, and also sent all the needlework to the house, and paid according to the number of pieces.
The royal city was shocked by such news for a while.
A lot of people come here.
The outside thyme is proud of the spring breeze, and she is called a female bodhisattva.
And in the palace.
Emperor Chongzhen was in an unbearable atmosphere, and his face was uneven.
In the imperial study, Emperor Chongzhen directly threw the cup on the table on the ground.
"Thyme is so cunning."
Now Emperor Chongzhen is only left with Lord Meng.
Lord Meng was hit by the splashed pieces of the teacup, and the tea was poured directly on the instep of Lord Meng, and the hot tea scalded Meng to the point of gritting his teeth. (To be continued......)
