Chapter V: Poverty Alleviation Plans
Seeing that he was so resolute, Du Xiaomeng was no longer reluctant. They don't want to accept financial help, so they should find a different way to help them.
After putting the money away, Du Xiaomeng and Lin Xinru chatted about some things that happened after separating from the Lin family, and Xiao Gongzi went outside the house to chop wood.
The two women chatted in the house for a while, and they could hear Xiao Gongzi talking to someone outside, listening to the voice, it was a woman.
Lin Xinru stood up with a smile and said, "It's Sister-in-law Jiang who is here!" ”
The woman outside the house said, "Today my family made some stew, bring some and give it to you to taste!" As he spoke, a woman walked into the room with a broken bowl. The woman saw Du Xiaomeng in the room, paused, she lowered her head a little, the distorted face pulled out a smile, a deformed hand put the bowl on the table, and then turned around and walked out without saying anything.
Seeing that woman, Du Xiaomeng immediately remembered that she was one of the lepers who was responsible for escorting lepers.
Seeing Du Xiaomeng stunned looking at the woman's figure, Lin Xinru said beside her: "She is Aunt Jiang." Although her appearance is a little scary, she has a good heart, and without her enthusiastic help, Xianggong and I would have been living on the streets waiting to starve to death. With that, she stood up and rolled up her sleeves, "It's time to cook." Xiang'er, let's leave after dinner. ”
Du Xiaomeng shook her head and said, "I ran out secretly, and I can't stay outside for too long." Miss, I've got to go, I'll come to see you next time! ”
Lin Xinru said: "It's inconvenient to come and go here in Liulipo, and it takes a lot of time for you to come and go back and forth, Xiang'er." It's better to do this, if Xiang'er wants to see me in the future, go to the Ruyi Painting Workshop in the south of the city. Xianggong works as a painter in Ruyi Painting Workshop, that place is not far from the General's Mansion, Xiang'er can go there to find Xianggong and ask him to pass on the word, and then we will make an appointment to meet somewhere again, okay? ”
"Good!" Du Xiaomeng agrees with this suggestion. Liulipo is far away from the General's Mansion, not to mention that it is inconvenient to run around, and it is easy to attract suspicion if it runs far.
"Alright, I'll send you out."
Lin Xinru didn't do much to stay, and called Xiao Gongzi to send Du Xiaomeng out of Liulipo together.
In the General's Mansion, Liu Lu hid in the room of Jicui Garden, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
When she went to get a pen and paper, she found that her wife was no longer in the room. Her heart immediately panicked, and the other end that said she was going to write a letter disappeared, needless to say, she must have gone to Liulipo by herself!
Liu Lu hurriedly threw down the things in his hand and hurried to chase people. However, Du Xiaomeng already knew that she would chase her out after she found out that she was gone, so before leaving the General's Mansion, she grabbed a maid ring and asked her to tell Liu Lu a word: Come back before noon.
Before Liu Lu could chase out of Jicui Garden, the girl who passed the word came.
Liu Lu looked at the sky and complained. Madame is not a stupid person, since she has the intention to leave her and run away, even if she chases her out immediately, she may not be able to catch up; Also, if she chases after her like this, it will definitely attract attention, and when it is known that she is not well guarded and lets her wife go to Liulipo by herself, she will not be able to eat and walk around. After Liu Lu hesitated again and again, she hid in the room and didn't dare to go, waiting for her lady to come back.
When it was almost noon, Du Xiaomeng had not come back, Liu Lu was so anxious that his heart was on fire, his body was in a cold sweat, and his brain kept making all kinds of random guesses to scare him. The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she finally couldn't bear to go out to find someone.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Du Xiaomeng, who was as excited as a life-saving straw, walked in with a relaxed pace.
"Madame!" Liu Lu's tears poured out all of a sudden, and he rushed over and hugged Du Xiaomeng with all his strength, as if she was afraid that she would disappear into the air.
The anxious and nervous heart fell back to its original position from a high place in a short moment, and this great contrast made Liu Lu's body tremble uncontrollably. It seems that she was frightened enough by her wife's arbitrary behavior.
Du Xiaomeng's secret run to Liulipo alone has come to an end. Du Xiaomeng didn't say where he had been, and Liu Lu was tight-lipped about this matter, and no one else in the general's mansion knew about it.
After meeting Lin Xinru and Xiao Gongzi, Du Xiaomeng put her mind on how to help them.
They want to support themselves with their hands, and they are unwilling to accept financial support from others, but a reader who can only read sage books, and a young lady who is raised in the deep boudoir and see not many people, they do not have exquisite communication methods, do not have excellent livelihood skills, and they have no connections in the background. With their two pairs of hands that don't have any strength, relying on their enthusiasm, if they want to mix up here in the capital and get out of it, it's very difficult!
If you want to mix up a little look, there is no backstage, no luck, no opportunity, then what is talented, what ambition is full of plans, it will just become nonsense.
Expecting Miss Xiucai to go backstage for opportunities is no different from expecting a sow to climb a tree. This matter, let's wait for her Du Xiaomeng to do it!
Although she Du Xiaomeng is also a little person with no background, doesn't she also have a titular general's husband? Although this "husband" had warned her a long time ago not to get any benefit from him for her or her father, but that was a long time ago, and now she is not seeking any benefit for herself or her "father", that old warning can be ignored.
As for the identities of Lin Xinru and Xiao Gongzi, she has nothing to worry about. Calculating the benefits for them from Zhan Qi's body does not mean that the two of them have to stand in front of Zhan Qi, even if they let the two of them stand up and let Zhan Qi see, there should be no problem. Xiao Gongzi is a poor and sour talent who has bought calligraphy and paintings in a small place, and few people in the capital know him; As for Lin Xinru, she is a young lady who has never been out, she saw Zhan Qi when she was a child, and the appearance of the child will change a lot when she grows up, she doesn't believe that Zhan Qi and Old Man Zhan have such eyesight to recognize the real Lin Xinru at once. If she really has such an eye, can she still let her, an impostor, eat and drink in the General's Mansion for so long?
But how do you start? Run directly to someone to ask for backstage support? She is not the Qiu Sha who made Zhan Qi favored to the heavens and trusted incomparably, no, this white and straight way is not suitable for her to use. Zhan Qi is just eliminating the prejudice against her in her heart at present, and treating her a little better, if she doesn't know how, she will ruin all the efforts she made before, and she will become the daughter of a vulgar businessman who climbs to power in order to get cheap and beg for benefits.
Du Xiaomeng thought about it for a while, knocked on his forehead, there is, let's do this!
Don't take the initiative to provoke Zhan Qi, let him consciously provoke himself, and then take advantage of the situation to seek benefits for the young lady!
