Chapter 68: Young Master's Offensive

"Zhu'er, I heard that this is the quilt that the noble man slept on, you cover it, and the cover will not burn." An old woman touched her grandson, who had been burning all night, "We also bring the blessings of nobles......"

The little grandson burned in a daze, but he could still feel that this quilt was very soft and warm, better than all the quilts in his house. Originally, he was only wearing a jacket, and it was cold as if he had been soaked in ice water, but now he was wrapped in this thick and soft quilt, and he suddenly felt that he was alive again.

'God, please don't take me, if you take me, my grandmother will have no one to raise in the future!' ’

"Aunt Liu, shall I exchange my thick cotton coat with your padded jacket?" Zhang Haozi grinned and discussed with his neighbor Aunt Liu flatteringly. He was hit on the head by the hailstone, his family also collapsed, and nothing was saved, so Wang Youzi also gave him a cotton coat.

"I said Zhang Hemp, I advise you to put away that stinky and shameless heart. This is a cotton coat given by a noble family, I'm afraid which lady wore it, I'll give it to you? I'll give you a slap in the face! Aunt Liu shouted. If you don't want your padded jacket, tell me as soon as possible, I will ask the poor master to give your padded jacket to others, and you can save others! ”

"Don't, don't! Aunt Liu, don't I just want to see what kind of clothes the noble lady wears......"

"Let's go, let's go, go farther, I'll be bored when I see you!"

Those who received cotton clothes and quilts were destined to be excited for a long time tonight. Although the clothes are all old, for these poor people, even if they are old, most of these materials have never been seen, and they have never used such thick cotton clothes.

There are not many quilts brought by the Xinguo Mansion, but they are big enough and very thick, and there are old, weak, sick and children in the family to divide one, and the family squeezes in the quilt, and they can paste it overnight, and they don't even use the brazier.

Things are not enough for everyone, and the noble family said that things are only given priority to the elderly, weak, women and children, and those who have no long things.

This is understandable, people are here to help the emergency, not to help the poor. Besides, there are so many soldiers with knives and guns watching from the sidelines, even if they want to rob the scoundrels, they still have to think about whether the cotton clothes are worth or their lives.

Zhang Xuan looked at the jubilant crowd in the courtyard of Li Dahu's house, and admired the old lady Qiu in the Xinguo Mansion.

The distribution of winter clothes and the provision of porridge and rice are secondary, and these rich families can do it. The main thing is that these things come so quickly, so timely.

In addition, these winter clothes and quilts were taken directly from the Xinguo Mansion and were being used, and these victims could not even enter the inner city on weekdays, and they could only hear about the lives of high-ranking officials and nobles in the books of those storytellers. Now, the unattainable dignitaries in their eyes actually sent the things they had used, and they saw the things used by the rich and noble, and suddenly there were countless things to talk about, and the common people quickly got rid of the oppressive atmosphere caused by the hail during the day.

Now, many people are preparing to give these things up after the disaster and keep them for future generations.

Such as "the vest worn by the nobleman", "the quilt covered by the lady", "the cloak worn by the child......

The imagination of the common people is endless, and I wonder how many anecdotes around these objects will be in the storytelling hall after the hailstorm.

Many women can stare at the patterns on their padded jackets for hours, just to study how the needles and threads of the embroidery of large families are used. Many of the manservants' winter coats have names embroidered on them, and those who get them have this name in mind, and some of them decide to repay them when they have the opportunity to do so.

Even the officials of Jingzhao Mansion who wore winter clothes were a little red-eyed.

There are some clothes that these civilians don't know, but they do. There was a child's eighty percent new cotton jacket, which was made of eggplant-colored Doro, and I was afraid that it would be a tribute, so I gave it to Wang Youzi and gave it to a child with lung disease.

The clothes were sent to the pawnshop, I am afraid that they can cover their monthly money for half a year.

What a fucking pity!

Xinguo Mansion, Zhiyun Courtyard.

Gu Qing heard the report from his family, saying that Jingzhao Mansion was already boiling porridge, and the family general was also watching the messengers distribute winter clothes and quilts, ensuring that each one was used for the old, weak, sick and children, and the satisfaction in his heart almost burst.

She doesn't know how to rescue disasters, and she doesn't have any common sense about many things in ancient times, but she has grandchildren and subordinates, as long as she tells her, others will definitely think of doing it perfectly.

It's good to be an old lady!

"Tell the family general and the family sent over that you won't come back tonight. A person is placed in every place where the victims gather, beware of people robbing the elderly, the weak, the sick and the children at night. ”

"Mrs. Tai, the villain thinks it's unnecessary." Butler Li bent down and said, "I heard that the Chinese army has passed. With the Chinese army patrolling the city, no one will dare to make trouble. Besides, what effect can just one person play? ”

'Let me know if I'm doing the right thing!' Or is it another trouble for the victims! ’

As soon as Gu Qing made a suggestion, he was swept away, and the ugly look on his face was a little unbearable.

She can see that this old lady Qiu has not been at home for many years, and she has no prestige at all for these stewards. Take this disaster relief as an example, Steward Li and several other housekeepers had the idea of looking down on her in their words, thinking that she was adding chaos to the house.

Butler Li was Li Mao's companion in the past, and he was the number one confidant of Li Mao and his wife. He was not at all willing to give relief to the victims of the old lady this time, but several masters of the whole house were revolving around this, so he could only help.

The rice, grain, charcoal, and firewood that flows out of the river are all money! The old lady didn't say that the money was subsidized from her private treasury after the disaster, or she went to the public account, which gave him a headache.

That's such a loss......

I heard that at the end of the past few years, the old lady issued silver, and the lady was anxious to smoke in seven places and fire in eight places. The old lady's hands are so big, they can't do it in the future.

Now the old lady's housekeeper didn't pit the lady, but pit them as the outside stewards.

I don't know when the master will come back, Mrs. raised the baby at this time, didn't she give Mrs. Tai a chance to fool around!

Gu Qing didn't know that Lu Dao didn't make it clear that the cost of this relief went from her, which had made the housekeeper of the family not very happy. She looked at the big steward who always denied his words with an ugly face, and thought about how to "knock on the mountain and shock the tiger".

Directly beating and scolding back, it will inevitably fall behind, and it will not be able to convince the public, it will only make them more rebounding.

Someone else replaced him, not to mention that he had not made any mistakes for so many years, and even if he did, she could not find someone more capable to replace him.

The most important thing is that she really wants to use people now, and she has to endure this breath.

said that he was the master, what he could do was limited, and he had to rely on the help of these subordinates, Gu Qing felt that he had failed as an old lady. There are fewer people who can use it.

She is going to wait for this matter to pass, so she will take Mama Hua back and take care of her family affairs.

"Let them all stay overnight, and they will be rewarded when they come back." Gu Qing said with a straight face: "Things are out of our house, if something goes wrong, our house is also responsible." ”

"Mrs. Tai insists, then we can only be vigilant, and I will send someone to order." Butler Li sighed in his heart. This old lady has a bad temper, so it's better not to stand up to her.

But if she says it too tactfully, she may not be able to understand it.

"Then you go and instruct that the Xicheng side must keep in touch with the mansion at any time."

The inner city is still some distance from the west city, and it is inconvenient to have no mobile phone in the world!

Li Xiaopang hasn't come back yet, and I don't know what happened to Lu Dao.

Gu Qing was worried about Li Xiaopang, and at this time, Li Rui and Qi Shao were gathering a group of young people to "plan big things" in the private room of Songhe Tower in Dongcheng.

"I think we should ...... like this"

"No, I think we should ...... that"

"I don't think what you said is good, it should be ......"

Li Rui frowned with a headache. People say that "Xiucai rebelled, and he didn't raise it for three years", he didn't think so before, but now he looks at it, and it's really the case.

Qi Shao had already seen the "debate" skills of his classmates, and hurriedly stopped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the victims are still waiting for 'food on their bodies', and let's not discuss what to do. In my opinion, the Xinguo Mansion has already sent a batch of things over tonight, and we will follow their instructions for what they do at night. It's just that the porridge and clothes are these things, it's better not to let the officials come, we do it ourselves. ”

"Good!"

"That's how it should be!"

This group of students has never done any of these things, and although they know that there will be difficulties, they firmly believe that they can overcome them. Now there is only excitement in my heart.

"Also, if we want to do this, we have to get the support of our families. We don't force everyone to take things out of their homes, and the artists often say, 'Those who have money will get a place for money, and those who don't have money will get a market,' and I think we should do the same. Those who can contribute money will pay, and those who cannot contribute money will give money. ”

Qi Shao thought very clearly, there are always some family members who have scruples about this and are unwilling to make a move.

"Those standing here today are not ordinary people behind them. Jingzhao Mansion and the yamen in Beijing still have to sell us 'little masters' a face. ”

The students beside Li Rui laughed.

"Everyone brings some sturdy family members to prevent the victims from looting things, and with so many of us, we can get together a lot of people." Qi Shao said with a smile, "At most, in two or three days, the court will issue an order to appease the people, and then we will be able to retire." Since the last time I made a statement, the world has called us too many students 'white-clothed ministers'. It's about to be a spring festival again, and I can't say that there will really be a few ministers and prime ministers among us. If you don't let go of this time, when will you wait? ”

When you have fame, you can't be as chic as when you were a student.

"Qi Shao, you say, what do you want us to do? You say, we do! ”

"Well, listen to me......"

In the palace of the Imperial Doctor.

"What do you say? Are you going to disaster relief tomorrow? Who is leading the way this time? Doctor Yu Shi looked at his son in amazement. Last time, he silently followed a group of students to the palace gate to "show his feelings", which scared him into sweating.

Fortunately, the saint did not blame, and the mistake also fulfilled his family's family style of "direct advice", otherwise it would really cause a big disaster.

"Dad, you don't care who leads the way. We want to do this, how much food do you say there is in the house, and give a little bit for my son to take to help the victims? ”

Outsiders say that his father is rigid and unreasonable, but Huang Sheng knows that his father is interesting, although he looks serious and scary, he is a person who will cry when he sees a wild dog run over by a car.

"When you ask me, I don't know. Isn't your mother in charge of all the housework? You go to your mother. "Doctor Yu Shi hurriedly tried to find a way to drive away the son of the grinding man.

"Mother's character, you don't know the way, I must not be allowed to do this!" Huang Sheng begged and said: "Or, I'll give all my money this year to my father, and father, you can buy me rice?" ”

"Gotta get it, I really can't do anything about you. Jiang Er, go and call the person in charge of the grain depot in the house! ”

"Xie Lu, Xie Dad! Xie Lu, thank you! Is there a charcoal fire and cotton clothes at home, and you give them together? ”

"Get out! Lao Tzu is not a corrupt official, where is there so much to donate! ”

will be used as a supervisor at home.

"What are you going to do, you son of a! Do you want me to lend you the craftsman who will be the overseer? All the things in our yamen are the emperor's errands! The supervisor glared, "Your father and I are just a supervisor in charge, and there is no order, how dare you call craftsmen at will?" ”

"Dad, I don't want you to give me all of them, introduce a few carpenters, bricklayers and masons to me." The son of the supervisor said: "My son is also doing good deeds, you don't know what to do, Qi Shao said that most of the houses in Xicheng have collapsed, and the victims are all in big families, and sooner or later there will be chaos." My father sent me some craftsmen to repair the dilapidated house first, so that the victims could have a place to live and shelter from the wind and rain. This winter's ......"

"You're going to disaster relief? Not going to mess around? ”

"What a disaster relief! Aren't there craftsmen in your office who are resting for the New Year, Dad, you write me a few letters, and I'll go to these people's homes myself. If someone really asks you, you can say that these craftsmen feel the hardships of the victims and volunteer to help during the break. ”

"It's all in the New Year, where will I volunteer to help!"

"At most, my son will give them an extra salary!"

"Where did you get the money? Your mother secretly stuffed your money again? ”

"Isn't it just the end of the New Year! Dad, do you write? If you don't write me, I'll go to my mother! ”

"Okay, good, write to you! This Qi Shao, three days and two ends of you do this and that, last time I asked our Shuli craftsmen to buy palace lanterns, and also took away a newly made lotus eight-treasure lamp, which is ready to supply the harem......"

"Dad, don't nag, that time was also a good deed! You've been nagging for half a year! ”

"Can I not nag? As soon as I heard that for that lamp, the Xinguo Mansion and the Xiangcheng Mansion were fighting, my heart jumped to my throat, do you know the Tao! ”

Tai Hospital Embassy House.

"Dad, do you have any apprentices who haven't returned to their hometowns, can you write a letter to ask them to do a favor?"

"What are you looking for? I heard that Qi Shao came to you just now, is he going to pull you to do something? "Since the last 'grievance' incident, parents of various families have itchy teeth when they see Qi Shao.

"Daddy is so discerning! It is the great merit that Qi Shao gave to his son! The son of the royal envoy smiled and said, "I want to take some Langzhong to Xicheng to see, there will be an epidemic after the great cold, and my son is worried that a hail rain today will spread the epidemic." ”

"How many times have I told you! Don't read medical books anymore! Your father and I finally got through the relationship between all parties and sent you to the Guozijian, just so that you could go to the imperial examination and become a serious official. The Holy Lord will naturally order the Tai Hospital to take care of this epidemic, and the Tai Hospital will send someone to do it! ”

"You just have to do your studies now, and preparing for this year's imperial examination is serious!"

"Dad, I don't think there's anything wrong with going to the hospital. Why do you always want me to be a foreign official? ”

"You know the! You give me a good study! Don't get involved in these things, when the time comes, you will catch the wind and cold, and you will miss the spring of next year, and you will have to wait for three years. It may not be once every three years, and now the clan is guarding against the imperial examination, and maybe something will be delayed! ”

"Dad, the disease comes like a mountain, the disease goes like a thread, if the epidemic spreads, the harm is even worse than the hailstorm! Being an official is to help the world, being a doctor is to save the people, no matter what the son wants to do in the future, he can't stand idly by! ”

The royal court makes the son look calm, but in the calm on the outside, there are hidden waves in the heart.

"If the son cannot face up to the suffering in front of him now, even if he becomes an official in the future, he will ignore the hardships of the people. Dad, such an official, the child doesn't want to do it! ”

"Master, the child is right." The royal court sent his wife out of the inner chamber. "Please write a letter to the master, and let Zhao'er go to the hospital doctors. Home Chinese medicine, if there is a symptom, you can also take it. If the son can only be a mediocre and stupid official in the future, why let him go out and harm the people? ”

"You, how are you...... He wants to study medicine, you keep thinking about him, where did he read the book! The royal envoy was so angry that he slapped the table.

"Dad, is this a conflict?" The royal court made the son argue on the basis of reason. "Is there a conflict between being an official and studying medicine? The medical saint Zhang Zhongjing also served as the Taishou of Changsha and left a good story of 'sitting in the hall' for the world. The son knows how to use medical skills, and won't he be better than others in the future for disaster relief and epidemic prevention when he is an official? ”

"You, you, you!"

The royal court made his son kneel down with a "poof".

"Dad, for the sake of so many people in the capital who may be suffering from epidemics, write a letter to your son!"

Not to mention how the students begged hard at home, or coquettishly played tricks, Qi Shao and Li Rui, who were summoning the family generals in Songhe Tower and Xicheng at this time, inquired about today's situation in detail.

“…… In this way, Wang Youzi is really a useful person. Qi Shao couldn't help but smile when he heard the Li family's general's narration, "Sometimes the head snake is much more useful than Shangguan's words. ”

"Hmph, this is the guy who wants to fool me." Li Rui said angrily, "This person is extremely slippery, and he is good at speculating on people's hearts, I almost suffered a big loss!" ”

"It is often much more difficult for the little people to survive than for us 'nobles'." Qi Shao didn't think he was wrong by doing so. "Jingzhao Mansion itself is trying to survive in the cracks of the yamen in the capital, and he is a small official, and if he wants to do something, he will inevitably have to 'take advantage of the situation'. This person is not afraid of retaliation from others afterwards, and he is obviously a bachelor. This kind of person who doesn't even want his life is easy to succeed. ”

"What Qi Gongzi said is true. In the military, it is also the person with such a personality who is most likely to survive. Many people think that those soldiers have no ability, but they can often turn danger into disaster, which is really incredible, but they don't know that these people are the best at judging the situation and making decisions on the spot, and they are thick-skinned and black-handed, and they can often do unexpected things. ”

"Li Rui, tomorrow we will borrow this person's ability. Those of us who are not familiar with Xicheng can't completely avoid Jingzhao Mansion. Using this person, firstly, to show our respect for the government, and secondly, to quickly familiarize ourselves with the world. Qi Shao smiled and said: "Don't look down on such a person, he cheats you, but once he recognizes you, he is also the most righteous." ”

"Who wants his righteous anger?" Li Rui pursed his lips, "Since you said that he is useful, then I will go to meet him tomorrow, and I will have to spend some money." ”

"Young Master Rui, no." The leader of the family will stop him. This kind of person buys with money, but will have a rebellious mentality. The young master made the appearance of a corporal and respectfully invited him to help! ”

"What, do you want the master to beg him?" Li Rui's eyes widened, "I am the young master of the dignified Guogong Mansion, and I ask for a little official who is not in the stream......"

"Why not?" Qi Shao leaned his forehead against the wall, he was already a little sleepy, and his speech was also fluctuating, "The master is a teacher, this person has something extraordinary, why can't you ask him?" You are just the young master of the Guogong Mansion, and you are not the Guogong, he is an elder, why can't he afford to ask you? ”

Li Rui pursed his lips and gritted his teeth.

"Okay, I don't want to lose my face!"

"That's right!" Qi Shao stood up and stretched. "I've been planning for a long time today, and I'm sleepy. Don't go back to my house, just rest in my house for the night. I have to work with many alumni early tomorrow morning, and if I don't rest well, I will make a mistake tomorrow. ”

Li Rui nodded.

"Okay, I won't be going back to the inner city today."

Shinkoku Mansion.

"You said Rui'er stayed in Qi Mansion?" Gu Qing asked strangely the family members sent back by Rui'er to report the news. "What did he do today?"

"Young Master Rui and Grand Master Qi have been to Xicheng a few times. Then he went to many homes in the east and inner city with the eldest prince of Qi, and stayed in the private room of the Songhe Tower with many sons for a while. The family said in an almost respectful tone, "It seems that a lot of things are being discussed for tomorrow's disaster relief." ”

Pine Crane Tower? It's either a tavern or a teahouse.

"Did Rui'er say that the Japanese government should send more people or money and food?" No, let Li Jun go over tomorrow, he is a teenager, in case the victims make trouble......

"Young Master Rui didn't say what he wanted."

"Then you go back to Qi Mansion and continue to listen to the errand." Gu Qing asked his subordinates to go back in a daze.

Even the supplies funded by the government are gone, what are these children going to do?

Qi Shao Courtyard.

"Don't you have a guest room at home?" Li Rui said unhappily, "I don't want to sleep with you." ”

Who knows if you have any smelly feet! If you don't grind your teeth, you can't snore, you don't talk in your dreams, do you have any hidden diseases......

"Since they have all stayed overnight, it is natural to talk with Brother Wei at night and sleep on their feet, so as not to come to my house in vain." Qi Shao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't have a few girls to serve, if you are worried about this, you don't have to, at most I will let them retreat to the outside world." ”

He has many younger brothers in his family, and he has long been accustomed to sleeping with his brothers when he has nothing to do. This Li Rui only has a younger brother, so naturally he doesn't know how ironing the love from his brother is.

Come on, come on, big brother let you know what is called warm brotherly affection.

"Didn't you say that you should rest early if you are sleepy, otherwise you will make a mistake tomorrow?" Li Rui showed an inexplicable expression, "Why do you want to talk at night?" ”

Qi Shao was stunned.

This dead kid has such a good memory!

"Talking together for a while before going to bed is also a good way to fall asleep."

"Don't. I've always slept well, and I can sleep as soon as I touch my pillow. Li Rui shook his head violently. How weird it is for two men to sleep in the same bed, and I'm not a child! ”

"Huh? Could it be that the virtuous brother wants to find a woman to sleep with? My family is a noble family, and I don't have that kind of family......"

"What a woman!" Li Rui said angrily, "I don't sleep with men and women!" ”

"That's not going to work. The virtuous brother is the descendant of the public government, and he will inherit the incense in the future, how can he make such an idea! ”

"You, you, you! That was not what I meant. I mean, I'm not at odds...... , what the hell am I going to say? Li Rui hurriedly burst into a foul language.

Qi Shao saw that Li Rui was interesting, and teased him for a while, so he was satisfied and called the servant over.

"Take Master Li to the guest room, and let the subordinates wait carefully."

Only then did Li Rui realize that Lu Dao had been tricked, so he angrily punched Qi Shao in the shoulder, turned around and left with the servant.

Qi Shao grinned and rubbed his shoulders in the room, but there was a burst of amusement in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing.

This kid has a gentle personality and likes to make friends, but he often pretends to be cold and doesn't deal with people, which is really funny.

wanted to come to Mrs. Qiu to shelter him everywhere, also because of this son's pure heart.

It's just that I don't know how Mrs. Qiu subdued this grandson, seeing Li Rui and Li Ming stacking Mr. Qiu so much, I don't think it's like ordinary people who are blindly doting.

Shouldn't he think about it......

Persuade your father and mother to have more children?

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Who knows if you have any smelly feet! If you don't grind your teeth, you can't snore, you don't talk in your dreams, do you have any hidden diseases......

Li Jun in his sleep: Ah! (quack). Who speaks ill of me?
