Chapter 110: Visiting the Xia Mansion

Yang Tangxian was not very far from Ji Zhi's house, so they didn't rent a carriage, but walked over there while talking. While walking on the road, Qu Wu saw a long queue of people not far away, and he was very curious, so he asked Ji Hui, "Ji Hui, what are those people doing in line?" ”

"There is a porridge shop opened by Uncle Sima Xia's family, and many beggars go there to drink porridge every day." Ji Hui replied.

"It's really not easy for you Chen Guo to have such a good official who cares about the people." Chen Shi said.

"I heard that this is set up by Lord Sima's newlywed wife, this Mrs. Sima has just married to Chen Guo, and she is very famous." Ji Hui said.

"Oh, what's the way to get famous?" Qu Wu asked again.

"This Mrs. Sima is Princess Zheng Guo, and I heard that she is very beautiful. Soon after marrying into the Sima family, he began to clean up the internal affairs of the Xia Mansion, which made several famous ghosts panic all day long, and I heard that one of the ghosts hanged himself because he was found to be corrupt, and he also arrested two other ghosts. ”

"I saw this princess when her carriage passed by on the day she married to Xia Mansion, and I saw the princess lift the curtain next to her and look out, and she also glanced at me, her eyes always felt that she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember where she saw it." At this time, Ji Zhi also said on the side.

"That must have been what you saw in Zheng Guo, the first time people came to Chen Guo." Ji Hui said to his brother.

"You coachmen are quite well-informed, and everything that happens in people's mansions is so clear."

"Hehe, we deal with all kinds of people every day, and we are the first to get the news." Ji Hui smiled and said.

"I want to go over and have a look, you guys go to Yokan Xian first, I'll find it later." Qu Wu said that he was very interested in this kind of relief, and wanted to learn from other people's advanced methods, and he would also help those poor people in Gusu in the future.

"Brother Qu Wu, we want to see it too." Chen Huan and Chen Le said that these two little girls were interested in everything.

"Okay."

Saying that, Qu Wu took Chen Huan and Chen Le and walked towards the porridge shop of Lord Sima's house.

Qu Wu saw that this porridge shop was not a faΓ§ade, but a window of a house on the periphery of the courtyard, a middle-aged woman who looked like a maid stood inside and was busy distributing porridge to these beggars in line, the window was opened low, so that it was convenient to distribute the porridge to the beggars queuing outside the courtyard with a water scoop, just like the window of the canteen, so that even if there was chaos, it would not kick over the pots and bowls of the porridge, let alone affect the courtyard, and it was easy to maintain order outside.

Qu Wu looked at the porridge that the beggars had shared, and saw that the porridge was not very thick but not too thin, and it was clean, and at first glance, it was for the sake of the beggars: it could not only maintain their basic needs, but it would not be too good for some people to eat to take advantage of it, and of course it was not the kind of porridge that was very thin to make a name for itself.

Qu Wu appreciated this way of giving porridge, so he and the Chen sisters walked to the gate not far away.

"Master Jun, I am very appreciative of the porridge shop in your mansion for helping the poor, and I will inform the master of your mansion and say that I want to see him to show my respect." Qu Wu said to the gatekeepers.

"This gentleman, Lord Sima went to the field to inspect the border defense, and he is not in the house, sir, please go back."

"Oh, can you let me meet the hostess, I just want to donate a little money to show my support, nothing else."

"I don't know where Mr. came from? How much money would you like to donate to support? The soldier thought to himself that if he only donated a few copper coins, he would not meet his master.

Qu Wu thought that the hostess was the princess of Zheng Guo, and she had just come from Zheng Guo, if she came from Zheng Guo, it might be easier to see: "I just came from Zheng Guo, because I was just passing by just now, and I didn't have too much money on me, only a pound of gold, I want to donate it all to your mansion." ”

The soldiers then went to the courtyard to inform Xia Ji through Chun'e that three young men and women wanted to meet their masters because they appreciated the righteous act of Xia Mansion's porridge, and were willing to donate a pound of gold to Xia Mansion.

Xia Ji was very happy to hear this, although she said that she didn't set up a porridge shop to get anything, but she really hoped to get everyone's recognition and support, it was difficult to have any big effect by relying on Xia Fu alone, and it was the best way to guide everyone to work together to save the poor. So she happily said let the three of them in.

Chun'e just turned around to convey Xia Ji's meaning, Xia Ji suddenly felt that it was safer to know where the other party was, so she asked Chun'e to ask the soldier where the three people came from, and the soldier replied that it was from Zheng Guo.

Xia Ji thought about it, Zheng Guo's people might know about Princess Ji Shao, they were a little embarrassed, but they still didn't see it, so she asked Chun'e to bring these three people to Jiang Lu and let Jiang Lu receive them on her behalf.

Chun'e walked to the gate, saluted Qu Wu and told him that the hostess Xia Ji was not suitable to see guests because she felt slightly unwell, and asked him to forgive her, saying that the hostess had ordered Mr. Housekeeper to receive guests on her behalf.

Chun'e brought Qu Wu and his party in from the gate of the Xia Mansion. The first time Chen Huan and Chen Le saw this kind of high-ranking mansion, it was like Liu Lao Lao entering the Grand View Garden, looking left and right, and he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

Chun'e took Qu Wu to Jiang Lu, and after introducing Jiang Lu, she withdrew.

"Sir, just now the maid introduced you very much to our porridge shop, and I would like to thank you on behalf of our master. I don't know where Mr. and Miss come from? Jiang Lu said after giving a salute.

After Qu Wu took Chen Huan and Chen Le to return the salute, he said: "Sir, you don't have to be polite, your mansion's kindness is admirable. In Xia Qu Wu, one of these two is Chen Huan and the other is Chen Le. ”

"It's a blessing. The porridge shop was also opened after the year, and now it is a time when the green and yellow are not connected, and the hostess of my house is kind-hearted, and she can't see the poor struggling on the line of life and death, so she built this porridge shop. Jiang Lu said.

"Saving people from the poor is a great good. I also told the military master guarding the gate just now, because he was just passing by, he didn't have much money on him, so he only took this pound of gold, and I am willing to donate all of it to your mansion to support your mansion's righteous deeds of squandering wealth and relieving the poor. With that, Qu Wu took out a pound of gold and handed it to Jiang Lu. Qu Wu said this because he was worried that the person in front of him would not hand over the money.

"Thank you, sir, for your kind gesture. Rest assured, all this money will be used for the porridge shop, and I will tell those who have been relieved of your kindness. ”

"Yes, Mr. Lao, then we will leave here, and there will be a period later." Qu Wu hugged his fists and said goodbye to Jiang Lu.

"Mr. Qu and the two Miss Chen walk slowly." Jiang Lu also returned the salute with his fists and said goodbye to them.

After Qu Wu and the three left, Jiang Lu came to Xia Ji's lobby.

"Mrs. Xia, this is a pound of gold donated by the gentleman and the two young ladies to the porridge shop in the Xia Mansion just now."

"Take all the food you have to buy for the porridge shop. Who are they? Xia Ji took the gold and looked at it, and then gave it back to Jiang Lu, how could she have known that this piece of gold still had the body temperature and fingerprints of Qu Hao's brother that she thought about day and night.

"They came from Zheng Guo, the gentleman's name is Qu Wu, and the two young ladies are named Chen Huan and Chen Le."

Decontamination? Xia Ji thought to herself that this name was too funny: "Okay, I hope that the more people like this, the better, and those poor people will have a better life." Natsuhime said.

At the moment, neither she nor Qu Wu realized what they were missing.

Life is often like this, and perhaps inadvertently, you miss the most beautiful waiting of your life.
