Chapter 259: The road ahead is confused
It is miserable enough to be arbitrarily bullied by men as prostitutes, but when these boys serve people, they are only six or seven years old, and even five years old abound, so in the past few years, the vast majority of them have been tossed alive and died.
And once these boys reach the age of eleven or twelve, then no one wants to spend money on them, so at this time, **the** will drive them away and leave them to fend for themselves and become outcasts.
These abandoned children and orphans, because of their humble births, are either abandoned or come out of the fireworks place, so people will feel that they are more unlucky than beggars who ask for food.
Usually avoid them far away, leaving them to fend for themselves, perhaps death is more like a relief for these people.
As soon as he saw Xiao Jinxuan's expression, Wen Xin knew that the other party also knew the existence of the group of abandoned children and orphan girls, and immediately said again in a somewhat heavy voice:
"When I was in Yangzhou, I was often hungry because of my family's downfall, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I was like a little beggar, but because of this, I got acquainted with some outcasts. And the abandoned children and orphans are all people who have no relatives and no reason, if you really intend to cultivate people, and don't dislike their origins like others, then I think this group of people living in dark corners is the most suitable for your requirements. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan immediately smiled indifferently, she is not like those daughters of the family, she has been clothed and fed since she was a child, and she does not eat the hardships of the world.
The more than ten years of life in Meizhuang when she was a child were full of hardships, but there will be gains in everything, at least Xiao Jinxuan has learned what it means to treat everyone equally.
In her eyes, a prince and general may not be more noble than ordinary people, as for arrogance and discrimination against suffering people, it will not be something that she Xiao Jinxuan can do.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan immediately nodded, and then instructed Wen Xin:
"There are not a few abandoned children and orphans in Yangzhou, Jingshi is the most prosperous place in the Great Zhou, I'm afraid there must be only a lot of such people, and Wen Xin said a lot, they don't have a family, so they have less worries, because even living has become a luxury, so they will try their best to be loyal, the most important thing is that although they are not from a good background, they have a clean background, and they will not have anything to do with any power and aristocrats.
Knowing that Xiao Jinxuan was now in a hurry to expand the manpower, Wen Xin immediately responded, got up and prepared to go out of the house immediately.
After all, these abandoned children and orphans generally do not appear on the streets and alleys, but hide under the ruins of the temple, and it takes some effort to find them.
Seeing Wen Xin leave the room and talking for a while, Xiao Jinxuan's mouth was also very dry.
I just wanted to pick up the teacup and take a sip to moisten my throat, but Wen Xin, who only went out only when I saw it, turned back in a hurry.
Just after stepping over the threshold, Wen Xin said with a look of annoyance:
"Jinxuan, look at my memory, talking to you, I actually forgot about the Gu Mansion people, who are about to leave Beijing tomorrow, although Gu Qingge is very harmful, but Gu Gongzi can be regarded as saving you, so after getting this news, I think it's better to tell you, after all, this farewell may be difficult to see again in this life, do you want to send it, just make your own idea."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan immediately couldn't even drink the tea, and immediately asked in surprise:
"Didn't the emperor have already exempted the Gu family from responsibility, why was he only released from the prison this morning, and he will leave Beijing tomorrow, so he is too hasty."
Wen Xin took a few steps forward, then sighed, and said helplessly:
"Who says it's not, but although the saint is not pursuing it, I think it may be the Gu family, and I don't want to stay in Beijing, after all, if it were me, I would lose my official position and lose my daughter, my wife would be crazy again, and my son would not be able to participate in the imperial examination for the rest of his life, and he had to guard against the crime of persecuting the royal family.
Nodding silently, Wen Xin's analysis, Xiao Jinxuan felt very reasonable, and immediately asked the other party to get busy, as for whether to send off the Gu family, she would think about it before making a decision.
And as soon as Wen Xin left again, and only Xiao Jinxuan was left in the room, she immediately closed her eyes very tiredly, and let out a long sigh from her mouth.
In this sigh, there is her sympathy for the Gu family's suffering, but more of it is a sense of powerlessness full of confusion and doubts about the unpredictable future.
Thinking about his previous life, Gu Qingge died for love.
Although there was her intervention in this life, Qian Yingluo died first, but Gu Qingge was still burdened by love, and she also ended up with a bad end.
And besides, Gu Qingping, in this life, he is a learned and elegant person, so if you want to come to the other party in your previous life, you must also be a talented person, and you must not be a mediocre person.
But Xiao Jinxuan suddenly discovered that she didn't know that Gu Qingping existed at all in her previous life, but there was one thing she was sure of, that is, the imperial examination titled by Ji Lingfeng's gold list, the other party was still alive and did not participate at all.
And after Xiao Jinxuan's contact with Gu Qingping, she even dared to assert that if the other party had participated in the imperial examination in her previous life, it was really unknown who would be the champion.
But no matter what the reason was in her previous life, Xiao Jinxuan keenly discovered one point, that is, although the details of Gu Qingping's brother and sister's life have changed slightly, the final fate has not changed in the slightest.
The damn ones are still dead, and those who are difficult to get into the scientific examination still haven't been able to participate in this autumn exam.
A sense of powerlessness deep in her heart, which will envelop Xiao Jinxuan's whole person, because she was suddenly a little dazed, and felt as if she had been reborn, even if she had done everything possible to change her current situation, and she didn't want to live as ridiculously and miserable as her previous life.
But Gu Qingping's brother and sister, the fate of these two lives is the same, but it is like a heavy hammer, and Xiao Jinxuan, who was beaten, was even a little panicked.
She was really worried, for fear that the final result of her hard work, just like the two brothers and sisters, still couldn't get rid of the fate of her previous life.
will marry Ji Lingfeng again, and maybe work with Xiao Jinyu again, and it is even more likely that she will still die in the hands of these two people in the end, repeating the tragedy of her previous life.
And if Xiao Jinxuan is most worried, it is not herself, but Zhou Xianyu's present life, which will get rid of the fate of her previous life.
Because this man who suddenly broke into her life, although he was still a war king in his previous life, he died young in the forty-seventh year of Emperor Ming, and died under poisoned arrows at the age of nearly twenty-five.
Seeing that it is now the forty-second year of Emperor Ming, if you follow the trajectory of your previous life, Zhou Xianyu's life will only have a short five years left.
And every time she thinks of this, Xiao Jinxuan's heart will be extremely uneasy, and this matter will be like a boulder, pressing her breathlessly.
But she didn't even have anyone to talk to, so she could only bear the pain and worry quietly in the sleepless night.
Now seeing that the Gu brothers and sisters have not escaped the fate of their previous lives, Xiao Jinxuan will naturally be worried, and Zhou Xianyu will also die as scheduled.
Although she told herself countless times that she must change the fate of the other party, how can people fight for their destiny.
If all this is destined to be arranged by God a long time ago, then doesn't this mean that when the other party is about to die in five years, the only thing she can do is to watch it happen, but she can't do anything about it.
After being reborn, Xiao Jinxuan's character has not only become tenacious, but she has never given up compromises lightly, but she really has no idea where to start with the unpredictable future, let alone how to change it.
In an instant, she only felt that her heart was very disturbed, Xiao Jinxuan, who had always been free to control her emotions and rarely lost her temper, actually smashed the cups on the tea table to the ground suddenly, which shows that she is indeed extremely restless.
And almost in Xiao Jinxuan's room, the sound of porcelain breaking sounded, Baizhu had already pushed the door and walked in anxiously, seeing that her young lady was fine, she was slightly relieved, but looking at the broken cup on the ground, she couldn't help but ask worriedly:
"Miss, what's wrong with you, if you really don't want to see that Miss Bai, I'll find an excuse with Zhuxin and ask her to leave, and you can't be angry and drop the cup, how can you scratch yourself."
As soon as the cup hit the ground, the sound of breaking woke Xiao Jinxuan from her restless contemplation, and when she saw what Miss Bai family was mentioned in Bai Shu's mouth, she immediately asked puzzled:
"Who did you say came to our Forsythia Courtyard, but you mean the Miss Bailiu who came to the house with Mrs. Wu and came to our Xiao family."
Nodding suspiciously, Baizhu said with a puzzled face:
"Miss, I knocked on the door outside for a while just now, and I have already explained that it is Mrs. Wu's beloved daughter, the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, Bai Liu, who came to visit, have you not heard a word of these words, Miss, you are not feeling well, do you want me to stew some tonic for you."
Knowing that he was too engrossed in what he was thinking, he didn't even hear the knock on the door, and immediately Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly signaled to Baizhu not to worry, and then stood up.
"This Mrs. Wu's mother and daughter came, and now they have found me so quickly, and they are guests when they come to the door, how can I refuse to see people, and I am also very curious, I want to go and see, this Miss Bai family came in person, what do you want to talk to me about."
As soon as she finished saying this, Xiao Jinxuan took the lead out of the door and walked towards the living room again.
Speaking of which, today is just the second day since she returned to Beijing after she fell off the cliff, and now she sees the sunset gradually setting, and she can really be regarded as a day, from morning to night, no time to rest.
And when Xiao Jinxuan came to the living room, as soon as she entered, she saw a tall and slender woman with soft eyebrows and eyes, sitting in the hall with a smile and elegance.
Although this woman's appearance is not unusually outstanding, but the kind of noble bearing that seems to be natural, but when people see it at first sight, they dare not have half a contempt, and Xiao Jinxuan knows that this must be Bai Liu, the daughter of Mrs. Wu.
Seeing this, Bai Liu also saw Xiao Jinxuan who walked in, and immediately showed a kind smile on his face, and stood up without any shackles, and greeted the other party with a light move.
