Before Xu Han came to Yusheng Academy, he heard Uncle Quan say that it was a place to adopt orphans from the battlefield, not without doubts.

She knew that the Xu family had a good hall, which was dedicated to sheltering the elderly who had lost their parents on the battlefield.

She also knew that Shantang was not here, but in another place.

When I first entered the Yusheng Courtyard, there were stewards in each courtyard in front of me, and they were cleaned and cleaned everywhere, and the children's bunks were neatly folded with pillows and bedding.

She just asked Uncle Quan, are there so many orphans in the Xu family?

Uncle Quan said with a smile, "It's not exactly the orphans of the Xu family, only twenty percent of them are some unattended orphans of the Xu family, and the rest are the children of the Xu family's comrades."

My father died in battle, my mother remarried, and some of them were not wanted. The Xu family took people over and put them here to take care of them. ”

To be honest, Xu Han is still proud in his heart.

Because no matter what Xu Jun is doing in his mother's affairs, he is still very good in other aspects, she looks at the account books, if it weren't for Xu Jun's care, where would she be able to provide for so many people's expenses.

Xu Han then looked at the little girl Wei Ting was asking.

The little girl looks very good, with apricot eyes, melon seed face, and some baby fat on her face.

But now she is rolling up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white forearms, like a teapot spraying water, with a fierce momentum, which really doesn't match the word 'dignified'.

Just now, a few children ran over and coaxed, and even clapped their hands, as if hundreds of ducks had been stocked.

Xu Han had never seen anything like this.

"Wei Ting, which Huo family are you talking about? This is a good hall run by the Xu family, where will there be children of the Huo family. ”

Wei Ting was already a little excited, and he didn't know how to get better.

His impression of Xu Han has always been silent, silently doing all kinds of errands assigned, as excited as today, Xu Han has never seen it.

Wei Ting turned his head and glanced at Uncle Quan on the side, obviously he didn't expect to see such a situation, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

Xu Han clenched his fists, frowned slightly, and looked at Uncle Quan, "This is ......"

Uncle Quan said seriously, "The child in this courtyard is indeed the Huo family, the hussar general back then." ”

"Back then, the Huo family also ran such a good hall, but after the Huo family was gone, these children had no livelihood, and the people who began to go out of the Huo family good hall would send money and things every now and then, but later, it gradually decreased, and the children had nowhere to go.

A child stole from the old prince, and after the child was arrested, the old prince learned of his situation, so he asked the little one to prepare this Yusheng courtyard and move the children of the Huo family here.

Because of the bad reputation of the Huo family, the prince was afraid of suspicion, so he moved some orphans from the family over and raised them together until now. ”

Xu Han suddenly understood why the money was allocated here in the account book in recent years, and there was obviously a Xu Jiashan Hall, but a Yusheng Courtyard came out.

The little girl looked at Wei Ting who rushed in, as well as Xu Han and Uncle Quan behind her, the little girl's eyes were round and cute, but she immediately lowered her head, a little uneasy.

In response to Wei Ting's question, the little girl just shook her head and did not answer.

Xu Han watched Wei Ting pull the little girl aside, and then several more children came to Wei Ting's side.

"What's going on? But if there is any dispute, even if there is, it should be talked about properly, and it should not be done. ”

The little girl obviously recognized Wei Ting, hung her head slightly, and called in a low voice, "Uncle Wei." ”

The other children nodded their heads in unison like chickens pecking rice, and hurriedly responded.

Xu Han pressed the excitement in his heart and stepped forward to touch the top of the heads of several children.

It turns out that the Huo family, there are still many people and things left, and they have not really disappeared into this world like smoke and dust.

What is in it always has to go back to the house to ask Xu Jun to know better.

And the Huo family, just go back and ask Wei Ting.

Uncle Quan whispered a little embarrassedly on the side,

"They didn't fight before."

"It doesn't matter. It's not a big deal. Xu Han interrupted Uncle Quan's words, these children didn't seem to be fighting, but fighting for what to be the big brother.

Although the coaxing was great, there were no bruises on his face, and the two who were thrown on the ground by the little girl were a little embarrassed.

I think these children still know how to measure, and they are not red-eyed.

Looking at this group of children who are not very tall, where can Xu Han be angry.

It's just that just now, Uncle Quan can say everything in other courtyards clearly, but after saying this, he is a little at a loss, and he can't say why.

So, who said that the reason for the Yusheng Temple is because of these children?

"Uncle Quan, isn't there a steward or helper in this house?" Xu Han asked Uncle Quan officially.

Uncle Quan opened his mouth, his expression was very rare, "I remember that the old prince transferred his grandmother over, could it be that they are lazy now?" ”

Xu Han sat on the edge of the stone table in the courtyard, put his hand on the stone table, and said coolly,

"Seeing the children so casual, you know when you think about it, the stewards are not just lazy."

There is also this courtyard, which is obviously more dilapidated and cluttered than the others.

The children's clothes and faces of some of the younger children were not as clean as those of the children in the other yards.

Xu Han's eyes darkened, and he immediately said to Uncle Quan,

"Before you go, I will transfer two people over to take care of the children in this courtyard, and how to deal with the food of these children, it seems that it is about to be eaten."

Wei Ting was also asking the little girl about the situation in the courtyard, but the little girl's face turned red and she refused to say anything.

There was a child on the side who wanted to talk, but he was also stopped by the little girl.

"You bear-like, what kind of general do you want to be in the future?" The little girl glared at the children, "Didn't you say that whoever wins the battle is the eldest brother?" Big brother tells you to shut up. ”

Xu Han, "......"

It's really laughing and crying.

Xu Han was a little sad, the little girl didn't allow everyone to say it, because they only came occasionally, and those grandmothers were sent to take care of them.

If she sues those grandmothers now, no matter whether she is punished or not, how she is punished, the children will not be able to get half of the benefits in the future.

If the punishment is not punished, or if the punishment is light, then the children will definitely be retaliated.

If the punishment is severe, these grandmothers will always be related to each other, and the people who will be sent in the future will not be good either.

The little girl knew Wei Ting, knew Uncle Quan, but didn't know her.

Wei Ting is just a small soldier, and it is impossible to support her.

Although Uncle Quan would come occasionally, it did not make their situation any better.

As for Xu Han, a stranger, do you want to expect her to do anything?

The more Xu Han thought about it, the more sad he became, and he suddenly made up his mind to take this opportunity to sort out the rules here.

Soon, Uncle Quan went to the front and called someone to come over to take care of the children, and at the same time Xu Han instructed them to call a few mothers-in-law in charge of the yard over for questioning.

When the little girl heard this, she was suddenly a little anxious, and said a few words in Wei Ting's ear, and then Wei Ting came over and said,

"Lord Wang, Xiao Tao said that those grandmothers don't come all the time, but they still come here occasionally."

That's what explains it for those grandmothers.

After Wei Ting came over, she heard a few children on the side secretly ask Xiao Tao, "Why don't you let us sue those old pious women?" ”

"Don't you want Uncle Wei to help us get revenge?"

Xiao Tao glanced at Wei Ting and said in a low voice, "What do you know, now that we are living here, it is very good to have food, clothes to wear, and tiles to cover our bodies." ”

"Those old women don't care about us at all, they just let us do it, do you want to be kicked out then?"

The children looked at it as a whisper, but in fact, they heard it clearly, Wei Ting said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, if there is no one to testify, what if those people don't admit it?" ”

"Why don't I go talk to the children and let them testify against the grandmothers?"

Xu Han looked down at the hem of his clothes and said casually,

"The master disposes of the subordinates, do you still need to find someone to confront them? If you still want to play tricks, then you only need to add one more sin. ”

Her expression was faint, but the words she said unconsciously brought some anger.

Coincidentally, she had just taken over the palace, and she originally wanted to take her time, but since this was the case, she simply ordered some fierce medicine and had some pleasure.

In front, Xu Han has already asked, Xu Jun is indeed not stingy with this side, whether it is money or manpower, there is no shortage of money, from the steward who is responsible for purchasing, and then there are ordinary sweepers, helping with laundry and cooking, each yard has enough manpower, more than the people of ordinary wealthy families.

It didn't take long for the housekeeper and a few others to be passed over.

The head of the steward was called Mama Wei, and when she saw Xu Han, she knelt down.

Xu Han didn't wave away the stewards and helpers in the other courtyards, but gently raised his eyes to look at Mama Wei,

"What are all the people in this courtyard doing?"

Mama Wei also came out of the palace, and she also had old friends in the palace, so naturally she had heard about Xu Han.

It's just that I didn't expect to come to Yusheng Temple.

Xu Han looked at Mama Wei for a long time, knowing what the situation was, but he didn't say anything, and let Mama Wei suffer there to find a reason.

Uncle Quan was embarrassed in front of Xu Han today, and immediately stepped forward to ask,

"At the beginning, the government sent people here to take care of the children and manage the affairs of the yard, what have you done now?"

Mama Wei knelt there, hesitated for a long time, and when she heard Uncle Quan's words, she immediately pinched herself, and then tears rained down.

"Lord Wang, this matter is indeed the fault of the slave maid, and there has been something in my family recently, so there are fewer people here. But I didn't expect those helpers to dare to be lazy one by one when they didn't see me.

It was the slaves and maids who were negligent for a while, betrayed the trust of their masters, failed to control them well, and voluntarily accepted the punishment. ”

Mama Wei said a handful of snot and tears, and said that she was willing to accept the punishment, and it seemed that her attitude was still very sincere.

She didn't know how good this man was, but at least he was a talker.

She first said that she had something at home and couldn't come, and then threw all the fault on those helpers.

However, she also knew that she couldn't take them all out, so she pleaded guilty to the charge of lax discipline.

Xu Han sneered in her heart, is she not strict in discipline? It is clear that it is dereliction of duty.

looked at the crying tears, sincerely admitting his mistakes, but he was just thinking about playing with the people above.

Xu Han's brows adjusted slightly, and his tone became cold,

"Do you think everyone else is stupid? If you take care of everything you should have over the years and follow the rules, those people will not come because you don't come for a few days? ”

There was something fierce in her voice, which made Mama Wei shrink for a moment.

"Also, the other yards are well kept, the windows are bright and clean, and the children are clean and refreshing."

"Why are the kids here different? Or are you not as good as the stewards of other yards? If so, why do you still occupy the pit and do nothing? ”

On the side, the smaller, bolder child muttered, "Isn't it occupying the pit and not shiting?" ”

This courtyard is not big, and after Xu Han came in, because of Wei Ting, he didn't have time to check in other rooms.

Naturally, she didn't know that in the wing room on the east side of the courtyard, someone had heard her words clearly.

The man sat in front of the bookcase, and when Xu Han's voice sounded, the hand holding the pen paused, and the ink smudged on the paper.

On the side is a stack of written notebooks, which seem to be for children's enlightenment.

He put down the pen in his hand, leaned back on the back of the chair a little lazily, and listened to Xu Han's words outside, and the smile on his face became thicker and thicker.

When I first met Xu Han, because of her evaluation of her paintings and the somewhat similar back on the street corner, it left an impression on his mind.

Later, after getting along one after another, I found that she was a strange person, and the sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger.

His evaluation of Xu Han is that he is a little clever and has a good temperament.

Today, when he heard the steward of the courtyard that Xu Han disposed of, he felt that he was wrong.

For example, he relied on a passable skin, and he didn't know how many people he had deceived, but he didn't expect to be deceived by this little prince.

In fact, Xu Han also learned housekeeping from Huo's mother in the past, no matter what the result is, it is still better on the surface.

It's just that when he saw these children of the Huo family today, Xu Han didn't think of any scruples at all, and he didn't bother to twist and turn, but put the most aggressive side out.

"Uncle Quan, I think it's time to check it out here, don't talk about other courtyards, this courtyard, let them spit out the silver that is greedy for ink."

"Besides, the money here will remain the same in the future, but the steward of this courtyard will be changed."

"After all, you also know that the children in this courtyard, their fathers all died fighting for the country, just for fame, and they should not be treated harshly."

What is not said is that without these children, Yusheng Temple would not exist.

In the east wing, the man in the chair hooked his lips, raised his hand to brush the rice paper, and chuckled lowly.

"Eleven Niang, I actually saw someone who is as housekeeper as you."

The person inside turned out to be Xu Xiuyan......
