(Don't think I don't know you have a ticket~~)

There were two baskets of hot steamed buns at the door of Cao's mansion, and two beggars stepped forward to reach for them, but they were drunk back by the servants on the side.

Xie Qian was furious when he saw this scene, and stepped forward to reprimand: "Since steamed buns are used for almsgiving, why don't these beggars be allowed to eat?" ”

Seeing that the servant was extraordinary, he didn't dare to slack off, and said, "This gentleman doesn't know that the Cao family's charity is different from the other family's. My lord said that the disease comes from the mouth, so you need to wash your hands before giving alms, the Cao family has prepared hot water, sir, please see ......"

Xie Qian looked in the direction pointed by the servant, and sure enough, he saw a wooden basin filled with hot water, and two beggars who had just taken food were washing their hands. Xie Qian's face turned a little pale, and he arched his hand and said, "It's the old man who is presumptuous, and I ask the little brother to forgive me." ”

The servant smiled: "Sir is polite, just now the villain said that the Cao family's charity is different from the side family, and the Cao family's charity is not exactly charity."

My lord said that getting something for nothing is a disease, and if it is not treated, it will get sicker and sicker, so he set a rule, the Cao family can only give beggars part-time, that is to say, they still need to help the Cao family do some work after eating, and my Cao family will also distribute wages to them.

In the past, there were many more beggars in Cao Mansion than now, but when they felt that they could support themselves with their hands, they would take the initiative to find a job to live and stop begging for a living.

My lord said that this is to save people, which is 10,000 times better than saving people for a while. Steward Wang has come back from shopping, if you have any questions, you can ask him, Steward Wang is notoriously kind-hearted. ”

Wang Sheng saw a middle-aged man looking over, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Is this gentleman coming to Cao Mansion to apply for Xixi?" ”

The old servant of the Xie family, who was following aside, was about to speak, but Xie Qian waved his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask the housekeeper, does the Cao family already have children studying?" ”

"That's not it, my lord and wife are both well-meaning people, although they don't have children yet, but they want to give the servant children a chance to study, not asking them to get ahead, just asking them to be literate and understand etiquette."

Wang Sheng paused for a moment and said, "Mr. doesn't look like he's here to teach, he's in Xia Menglang." If my husband comes to visit my lord, then you should come back in a few days, my lord has been ordered to go to the border in the past few days, and I am really embarrassed. ”

Xie Qian stroked his head and said, "It's okay, the housekeeper told you about his wife, so he said that the elders of Yuyao came to visit." ”

Wang Sheng was taken aback, looked at Xie Qian carefully, and found that he really looked like Xie Wan by one or two points, and hurriedly saluted: "This gentleman, please wait with me in the front hall, and I will go to the backyard to ask Mrs. to come out." ”

Xie Qian followed Wang Sheng into Cao's mansion, only to see that although the mansion was not luxurious, it was clean and tidy, which made people feel very comfortable, and he couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart. In his opinion, although the Cao family is shallow, it already has the prototype of a family.

"Dare to ask the housekeeper, why are the servants of the Cao Mansion so scarce, and the old man can't see a few along the way!"

Wang Sheng said with a smile: "My lord said that everyone has the right to enjoy life, and the lifeless one becomes a piece of wood, so he set the rule, as long as the servants in the family finish their work, they don't care where they go." It's unitary time, and the servants in the house have basically finished their work, either going out to play, or closing the doors and windows to sleep, so the husband can't see people. ”

Xie Qian's spirit perked up, although he had never seen Cao Wei, he gradually had a general understanding of Cao Wei in his heart, the more he saw it, the more he felt that what Li Dongyang said was right, this Cao Wei was extraordinary and had great wisdom.

If you can take care of your own house in an orderly manner, then this person must also be a great talent.

Xie Qian sat on the chair in the front hall, drinking the hot tea that the servant had just served, and his heart was full of joy, and anyone who suddenly knew that he had such an excellent junior would feel relieved and satisfied.

Although Xie Wan had never seen Xie Qian, when she saw Xie Qian for the first time, she knew that the middle-aged man in front of her was her uncle, because he was very much like her father.

"Xie Wan has seen uncle!"

Xie Qian laughed, stroked his chin and said, "Okay, good, the old man only knows today that he has a good niece in the Jingshi, and she also has a good husband." ”

Xie Wan said with a guilty face: "Uncle, Wan'er has been in Beijing for many days, but she hasn't visited you, please don't blame." ”

"It's okay, you have your troubles, the old man can understand, when Cao Wei comes back, remember to come with him to see the old man. He's very good, really good, and the old man wants to talk to him. ”

Xie Wan hesitated: "Uncle, what happened to you and your father at the beginning, they have been strangers for twenty years?" As a junior, Wan'er shouldn't have asked, but Wan'er wanted to help the two elders......"

Xie Qian sighed and said: "Back then, your grandmother was seriously ill and wanted to see the old man for the last time, but the old man was the right moral edict of Youchunfang at that time, and he was about to be promoted to the East Palace lecturer.

Later, the old man was promoted to the East Palace lecture officer as he wished, and asked His Majesty to resign and return to his hometown, but when the old man returned to Yuyao, your grandmother had already passed away. Since then, your father has regarded the old man as an enemy, and he will never say a word to the old man again, and the old man has written many letters to him over the years, and he has never replied.

The old man has lived a bright and upright life, but he has remorse in this matter...... It's too late to say anything. ”

Xie Wan was silent after listening, the choices she made would be different depending on her position and situation, so she couldn't say who was right and who was wrong.

"The old man just came to see you today, and when Cao Wei comes back, you come to see the old man with him. The old man is old, and he just wants to talk to your juniors, and our two families will be closer and closer in the future. It's not early, and the old man won't stay long! ”

Xie Qian got up to leave, Xie Wan sent him to the door, and said softly: "Uncle, in fact, my father has been reading the letters you wrote to him, and I secretly saw ...... when I was young."

Xie Qian laughed, but his eyes were red for some reason, and he didn't look back, waved his hand and went straight to the carriage.

In the palace, Zhu Youzhu was furious after reading the letter in his hand, his face was flushed with anger, and he almost overturned the table in front of him.

"This Zhang Jincheng is really a bastard, I trust him so much, let him guard the Xuanfu, I didn't expect him to be able to do things to fund the enemy, it's really a wolf-hearted thing, pass the decree down, arrest Zhang Jincheng and put him in prison, I want to try him personally!"

"Your Majesty, Zhang Jincheng is the chief soldier of the Xuanfu Mansion, and he has tens of thousands of armor soldiers, if he is forced to rush and causes a mutiny, it will not be good......"

Zhu Youzhu also calmed down, frowned, and said, "What do you think about it?" ”

Mu Bin said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't forget, Cao Wei is still in Xuanfu......"

Zhu Youzhu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Yes, then let Cao Xiaozi have a headache." Write to him and let him do it cheaply, and if necessary, he will cut it off and then do it, and since he says in his letter that he will show his loyalty, then share his worries for the king. ”
