Chapter 407: Outside the City

It seems that all the troubles have come to the door all of a sudden, and Chu Xiaoxiao is unwilling and uncomfortable.

"Daddy, don't you protect me anymore? Even you've changed, you all want to see my jokes, right? ”

Mrs. Chu was anxious and comforted: "Silly boy, how can we see your jokes, we just hope that you can have a good support, and your father and mother can't protect you for a lifetime." ”

Prime Minister Chu shook his head in disappointment: "Don't you understand where you lost until now?" Even if you can't compare to Su Banxia, but you also have your advantages, it's not that you can't get married, but you're bent on moths to fight the fire, Dad just explained to you, Dad is not omnipotent, although I am the prime minister, but there are more people who can't get used to me, and there are more people staring at my position, why don't you understand? ”

He is really in trouble now, many people impeach him, but fortunately, the emperor has always been merciful to him and suppressed everything, I wanted Chu Xiaoxiao to stay at home quietly, and wait until the matter passed and everything calmed down before going out, but Chu Xiaoxiao didn't think so.

Chu Xiaoxiao sat down dissatisfiedly and said: "You think the same as the people outside, they all think that I am not worthy of Si Nanzhu, and they think that I am not as good as Su Banxia, I am a little worse, and today the eldest princess also said the same thing, and she looked down on me in and out of her words, am I really that bad?" ”

The more I think about it, the more angry I become, how did it become like this.

Prime Minister Chu didn't know what to say, so he comforted Chu Xiaoxiao and went back to the study.

Mrs. Chu leaned on Chu Xiaoxiao's side and sat down and said: "You said that you don't want to get married so early, even though there are many people in the city who come to propose marriage, your father and mother have refused, you are seventeen years old and not young, and the girls who used to play well with you are all mothers, your father and mother don't ask you for anything, they just want you to be safe, why don't you understand the hard work of me and your father?" ”

She was helpless in her heart, and now she began to regret it, regretting that she shouldn't have indulged Chu Xiaoxiao so much in the first place.

Chu Xiaoxiao pouted and said: "I know my father's hard work, but I'm just unwilling, mother, even if I can't become a concubine, I can be a side concubine, as long as I can stay by Si Nanzhu's side, it's enough." ”

She doesn't insist on being a concubine now.

Mrs. Chu shook her head, and the disappointment in her eyes couldn't be hidden: "You are still obsessed." ”

Chu Xiaoxiao stood up angrily: "Why am I obsessed, I have liked him since I was eleven years old, and I have always loved him very much, you and your father both know this, you didn't stop him when I liked him before, and now it's not too late to stop me, I can't get out anymore, I really like him very much." ”

She likes Si Nan Candle so much, how can she give up.

Mrs. Chu calmed down and didn't know what to say.

"You're doing it yourself." After waiting for a while, Mrs. Chu said this, and left Chu Xiaoxiao to leave.

Chu Xiaoxiao was left alone in the room, she was holding her head in both hands, very painful, could it really be her mistake?

After Su Banxia came out of the palace, he went to a secluded shop with Si Nanzhu and took out all the herbs that had been piled up in the space, whether they were concocted or freshly picked, and put them in the house, and the small shop was directly piled up.

Looking at the room full of herbs, Su Banxia clapped his hands and said with satisfaction: "Look, my results are still very gratifying, these herbs are of very good quality, and they can be sent to the palace after they are concocted." ”

Si Nanzhu agreed, stepped forward and wiped Su Banxia's hands with a handkerchief, and the soil was wiped clean before he said: "You are busy all day long, I feel distressed when I look at it, are you planning to go out of the city again?" ”

Su Banxia really has this plan, he hasn't been to Shuiguan Village for a few days, so it's important to go over and take a look.

Explained: "I've been busy for a few days, and I'm not busy when everything is smooth, I'm wondering if there is something suitable in the city to do for those children, in fact, I found that those children are very smart, they can survive until now because their families sacrificed, I still want to help them." ”

The children who survived the begging were not very old, because they were young and did not eat much, and their families loved them, and even if they did not eat, they had to save a bite to eat for them, and in the end they survived.

In the past few days, I heard Xiuniang say that there are many orphans in the begging, and these children are very pitiful.

She thought that Sinan Candle was more familiar with the capital than her, and it would be nice if there was a good arrangement.

Si Nanzhu knew that Su Banxia was kind-hearted, and took Su Banxia's hand and said: "I have a good idea, I have a Zhuangzi outside the city, and the annual harvest of Zhuangzi is not bad, why don't I arrange these children over, and all the harvest on the Zhuangzi will be used to raise children in the future, and I will also ask Mr. Private School to teach them, and teach them to know medicinal herbs by the way, if there are children with good talent and good character, when they are a little older, they can go to the medicine hall, there are many shops in Jishitang, and these children can be fully accommodated." ”

Su Banxia's eyes lit up, why didn't she think of such a good way before.

Jishitang needs manpower, and these children are just right, they only need to raise them for a few years, they can earn money to support themselves, and they can have something to do, and they don't have to worry about them going astray.

Excitedly hugged Si Nan Candle and said, "It's still Nan Candle who is smart." ”

Si Nanzhu's heart was warm, and it seemed that Su Banxia rarely took the initiative to hug him so actively.

Su Banxia is a faction of action, and after separating from Si Nanzhu, she went directly to the city gate, and after telling the person in charge of the soup kitchen, she waited on the side, there were many people who came to ask for porridge at this point in time, and the person in charge just walked around the crowd, and then came back and said: "The little ones have been notified, they have already run to tell each other, and those children should come over soon, the little ones dare to ask Miss, how do these people plan to be placed?" ”

Suddenly, he said that he wanted to take in orphans, and he didn't understand that raising these children without a family was a burden.

Su Banxia glanced at the middle-aged man who spoke, this is an old man in the palace, he is very diligent in doing things, and the housekeeper has always respected him.

Since she asked, it was necessary for her to explain, saying, "Naturally, I have my own arrangements, and I'll talk about it when the meeting arrives." ”

It's still early, and she plans to finish the matter here and go to Shuiguan Village.

Xiuniang saw that the middle-aged man still wanted to ask, and said dissatisfiedly: "I said Qin Laosan, don't talk nonsense, okay, we can just do what Miss does, do you still want to influence the master's arrangement?" ”

Qin Laosan felt that he had said the wrong thing, and he really shouldn't ask about this, so he said repeatedly: "I didn't mean that, I just saw that those children were pitiful, and I wanted to ask clearly, so I could explain to those children." ”

Xiuniang pouted: "I don't need you to explain, didn't you see Miss waiting here, you hurry up and ask those children who have families, and gather them over." ”
