Chapter 56: Save the Poor Children

"Childe, this snowman you built is so beautiful. Look at the ugly one I piled up. ”

"Well, it's better to look at the snowman that Childe has built."

I saw four snowmen standing in the open space in the backyard of Jingyixuan, three of them lacked noses and eyes. Shu Ruo put a hat on the head of a snowman, looked at the snowman in front of him, his nose was a carrot from the kitchen, and his eyes were two small pebbles that he had picked up.

"Sixth son, your hat boy will borrow it for a few days, and if it's cold, go to Jingshang to find your mother to make another one." After speaking, I was ready to go back to the courtyard of Xishu Hutong, and I forgot the time to play, and I don't know if I missed the carriage of the Four Kings' Mansion. Nizi, who was playing crazy, turned around and saw Leng Han.

Leng Han's eyes swept over the snowman, glanced at Shu Ruo, saw her little hands that were frozen red, her eyes flashed a trace of strangeness, and she didn't speak, and walked out. Shu Ruo watched and followed, followed the cold carriage, and muttered to himself in his heart, this person is angry again, so angry, didn't he just wait for a while.

Shu Ruo just sat down, and Leng Han stuffed a stove into her hand. Shu Ruo suddenly felt so warm, and said gratefully, "Thank you, without your hand stove, I really didn't notice that my hands were frozen." ”

"Fool."

"Hey, hey! It's crazy to play! Shu Ruo didn't notice that there was a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Looking at such a stupid Shu Ruo, his cold eyes were full of pampering, he pinched the gloves in his hand, and stretched out his hand to hand them to Shu Ruo. Shu Ruo looked at the delicate cowhide gloves in front of him, a little stunned, "For me?" ”

"Hmm!"

"No money."

"No, you don't." Leng Han wanted to open this Nizi's mind to see what she was thinking, when the king would ask her for silver.

Hearing that there was no silver, Shu Ruo happily took the gloves, looked at them, and tried them on again.

"Is it wool in there? It's so warm! Thank you! ”

"If you like it."

What's wrong with this prince lately, he gave me the same thing after another, is it because of Jingshang, and he wants to rely on me to make money?

The heavy snow has been falling for three days in a row, and it has not stopped, and the snow has been more than a foot thick, and the down jackets in the special area at the entrance of Jingshang have been sold out. Shu Ruo's excitement at seeing the snow at the beginning turned to worry. The weather was so cold that many old people didn't survive this winter.

This Shu Ruo was standing at the door of Jingshang, looking at the snow. Suddenly, two young boys and girls appeared out of nowhere, ragged and thin, and suddenly knelt in front of Shu Ruo, so frightened that Shu Ruo took a step back.

"Nobleman, you are a nobleman, please be merciful and save us, save those poor children, my eldest brother and I are willing to repay your kindness as slaves and maids, cattle and horses."

Shu Ruo looked at the girl in front of her who looked up at him tremblingly, her pale face and lips were purple from the cold, and she shivered from time to time, she felt cold when she looked at it.

What are you doing, it's so cold, how cold it is on the ground, get up quickly, or you'll freeze to death. ”

Hearing this, the young man and girl didn't get up, and if you didn't agree, I kept kneeling.

Although Shu Ruo didn't know what they meant, he really couldn't stand being kneeled at every turn. In ancient times, it was really bad, begging people to kneel, and thanking people to kneel.

"Hurry up, let's talk about it when we come into the house, it's really cold outside, you don't want me to accompany you here to get cold."

When the boy and girl heard this, there was a trace of hesitation.

"Sister Qin, come over and help me help them into the shop." After speaking, he entered the shop.

How dare the young boy and girl be helped, they stood up and followed Shu Ruo into the shop. Seeing Shu Ruo sitting by the fire, he wanted to kneel down again, but was interrupted by Shu Ruo.

"Kneel again, I'm going to let people bomb you out, freeze it, come over and roast the fire."

Shu Ruo said this, but the boy and girl did not step forward. The charcoal fire in the shop is booming, except for the door of the shop is open, the tuyere that should be blocked is blocked, it is too warm compared to the outside, and the boys and girls no longer shiver.

Shu Ruo saw this situation and did not force it, "If you have any business, tell me about it." What about saving those poor children. ”

When the girl heard Shu Ruo ask, a surge of hope immediately rose in her heart, and her eyes lit up because of this. Tell Shu Ruo the truth of the matter.

After hearing this, Shu Ruo's eyebrows frowned slightly, "You are taking care of more than a dozen children?" ”

The girl nodded humbly, and shook her head violently, "There is also Grandma Huang, but because it was too cold, Grandma Huang fell ill." In fact, we all worked hard to earn money, but the snow crushed our house, and there was really nothing we could do. ”

"How did you come to beg me?"

Hearing this, the girl's eyes flashed, and she was hesitating whether she could say it.

The young man, who had been silent, spoke.

"Childe, I helped Jing Yixuan deliver goods before. Know that you later took in a few of them to deliver together. ”

"Then why do you think I'm going to help you?"

These words knocked down the boy and girl, and they were stunned for a moment.

Although Shu Ruo asked like that, he was already thinking about how these people were going to live. Jing Yixuan can still live in one person now, Jing Shang originally had three rooms for people, one for tailors, one for embroiderers, only one room for people, and now there are two people. It's okay to stuff three bunk beds, but it's a little squeezed, but if you go to the courtyard of Xishu Hutong to live one person, you can only live six people.

There are fifteen people now, how can they live? Rent another boyfriend's yard? I don't know if I can rent a suitable one for a while.

At this time, Jingshang came in two more people, Tianyi, who went to deliver the goods back, Shishi, and saw the young boys and girls in the house with a worried face.

"Sister Xin'er, why are you here. Is something going on at home? Tianyi couldn't help but ask.

"Our house was crushed by snow." The girl who called her heart choked up.

Shu Ruo saw that she didn't need to know the answer to the question just now. In fact, she guessed that on this day, she and Liu Yan would let them stay, all because she asked them to deliver the goods and distribute the steamed buns before, these two babies couldn't bear to eat and keep the steamed buns, thinking that these two babies should have someone else to take care of.

Sister Qin also told her in the past two days that several of the down jackets in the Jingshang special price area were bought by these two babies, and she didn't see them wearing the winter clothes she sent in Jingyixuan. She has actually been waiting to see if these two babies will come to her for help.

"Childe, please help us." Tianyi, the stone said at the same time.

It turned out that they were all a group of fatherless and motherless children, who were taken in by Grandma Huang and grew up together. Some of them are lost, some are abandoned, some are bereaved, and some are ...... Although he guessed it, Shu Ruo was still sad in his heart.

"And where are they now? Don't continue to get frostbite, you go and pick it up, take it to Jingyixuan, and ask Grandpa Tian in your house to help warm up the charcoal fire. As he spoke, he commanded, "Sister Qin, you go and let Aunt Xu boil some ginger soup, and the big guy will come back in a while to drink some ginger soup to go to the cold, by the way, you have to boil some more porridge, you should also be hungry, drink some hot porridge to warm up." ”

"Thank you, Childe, you are such a good person."

"Alright, don't thank you, let's go."

After arranging these, Shu Ruo was still worried about how to live. It's winter now, isn't it okay to squeeze two people in a bed, it should be okay, it's warmer. I'll talk to the big guy in a moment.

Master Zhang, who makes clothes in the shop, sees everything in his eyes.

"Childe, you are too kind-hearted, look at this heavy snow will not stop for a while and a half, I don't know how many people will freeze to death, you can't help like this."

"Ah, could it be that serious? Isn't Yanjing the capital of the Tang Dynasty? Is there so much prosperity and so many poor people? ”

"Childe, Yanjing is prosperous, but in a place you don't know, there are still a group of poor people living there."

"The people of the government, don't you have any solution?"

"Childe, it's all about treating the symptoms but not the root cause."

"Well, it's a little bit if you can help. I still have the batch of cloth left by the proprietress before, so let's make some more down jackets. Just do it according to the style I came out before, you can wear it without picking people, and you can do it quickly. ”

Fortunately, Jingshang has been opening for a few days, and has made a lot of money every day, otherwise it is also powerless.
