149. Do bad things with good intentions

Emperor Qianling looked at Ye Jingjing with a dissatisfied look and smiled, "It's because I didn't say it clearly enough, the person I want to test is not the prime minister." ”

"But by the hand of the prime minister, he tested another person."

Ye Jingjing was stunned.

What does Emperor Qianling mean by this? He gave his precious jade seal to her father, saying that he wanted to tempt, but now he said that the person who was tempted was not her father, but another person.

What does that mean exactly?

Emperor Qianling looked like he wanted to buy Guanzi, patted the back of Ye Jingjing's hand, and ended the topic by himself, "Okay, when you go back to the capital, you will understand." ”

"Now, let's go back and get ready and hit the road before dark."

Ye Jingjing nodded a little blankly.

The two of them walked hand in hand through the small fishing village, listening to the sound of the waves not far away, and the wind blowing with the smell of the sea, Ye Jingjing's heart gradually calmed down.

Even the peace that has never been seen before.

Even in the middle of the city, there are only a few merchants selling fish and shrimp that have just been brought in the morning, and a few women selling handicrafts made from seashells picked up by the sea.

Ye Jingjing looked at the Emperor Qianling pitifully, and there were two bright words flashing in her bright eyes, wanting to buy it.

Emperor Qianling really couldn't resist her eye attack, and obediently took out the silver ticket on his body.

Ye Jingjing only spent a few copper coins to buy a wind chime strung with shells, and carried it in her hand, but her heart was full of joy.

Emperor Qianling looked at Ye Jingjing, who could be so satisfied so easily, and a charming smile slowly opened up at the corner of his mouth.

They walked hand in hand in the direction of the inn, but in the corner of the downtown area they saw a grandmother who had made all kinds of small tigers, small fish, or small squirrels out of small shells.

Grandma looks like she should be in her seventies, with her back slumped, and her face is full of vicissitudes carved by wind and frost.

She was dressed in a rough blue dress with colorful puddings sewn on it, and although she looked very poor, she was very neat.

Grandma's eyes also seem to have something wrong, cloudy, and she can't see things clearly, just like her two hands

Clutching the pants on his knees in a cramped manner.

Ye Jingjing's heart was moved, she squatted in front of Grandma, and asked softly, "Grandma, how much is this?" ”

She picked up a little tiger, lifelike.

Grandma seemed to be even more nervous when she heard someone inquiring, her lips squirmed for a long time, and she couldn't say a word.

Ye Jingjing hurriedly comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry, I just asked how much this is, I want to buy one." ”

"Ten cents, ten cents, this lady, these things, all of them are ten cents."

Behind Grandma, a thin old man ran over quickly.

Regardless of whether there was anyone standing in front of him, he grabbed Grandma's hand and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm back, a lady came to buy the tiger you made, it's a very beautiful lady, if you see it, you must like it." ”

“……”

Grandma, who was clearly still cramped and uneasy, seemed to relax all of a sudden, and a warm smile appeared on her face.

The old man turned his head to look at Ye Jingjing, "I'm sorry, madam, Neiko has been very afraid of people since she lost her sight, and the old man couldn't bear to leave her alone at home, so he brought it out." ”

"Please don't blame the old lady."

Ye Jingjing asked puzzledly, "Why are there only two of you in the family?" ”

The old man nodded, "My son was swept away by the waves when he went out to sea to fish, and my daughter-in-law was still young, so we let her remarry before she gave birth to a child." ”

"It's just that Uchiko is heartbroken and cries all day long, which hurts her eyes."

"Now that we are the only old couple left in the family, if I am here, I can stay with her for a few more days, but if I am not there one day, she is the only one left, but how is it good?"

“……”

The old man wiped away his tears as he spoke, and Grandma was also very sad.

Ye Jingjing already had red eyes.

In this era, there are not many people who can remarry their daughters-in-law, not to mention that only this old couple is left in their family.

The old man is right, if he is still alive, there is still a care between them, but if he dies one day, leaving Grandma alone, what will he do?

Ye Jingjing wiped a handful of tears, proud

He said, "Grandma, Grandpa, don't worry, how many such things do you have here, I bought them all!" ”

Ah Gong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly wanted to kneel and kowtow.

Ye Jingjing hurriedly helped him up, "Don't do it, this will break me." ”

She took out a silver ticket from her purse, and without even looking at the face value, she handed it to the old man, "All of this is for you!" ”

Di Qianling looked at her eagerness and stopped her helplessly.

Ye Jingjing was anxious, thinking that Emperor Qianling felt sorry for the silver taels she spent, and hurriedly explained, "Xianggong, I'll return the money to you when I go back, really, count me as borrowing!" ”

Emperor Qianling smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The lady has heard of a saying, called the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty." ”

“……”

"You can indeed give them all the money you have, so that they can buy a house and live in their old age, or you can let them buy a large number of maids and servants to take care of their daily life."

"But you forget, they are all too old to keep this windfall."

“……”

Ye Jingjing looked at the two old couples thoughtfully, and the old man also nodded.

"Yes, madam, we appreciate your kindness, but if it is known that our husband and wife have so much money, we are afraid that we will suffer a disaster!"

Everyone here is very poor, and it is not easy to barely survive, but if it is found that they have received the sky-high price of silver from this lady today, I am afraid that everyone will come to rob it, and when the time comes, if they are dead and injured, even the government will be helpless.

Ye Jingjing shuddered fiercely, she really almost did something bad with good intentions.

So, Ye Jingjing thought about it and proposed, "Then why don't we find a reliable person, give her the money, and let her take care of them?" ”

But Emperor Qianling still shook his head.

"People's hearts are not ancient, how do you know that the people who invited them will not have bad intentions for a moment and want to keep all this silver for themselves?"

“……”

Ye Jingjing hung her head in disbelief and shook her head, she really didn't know.

Therefore, until the end, Ye Jingjing only paid them thirty pieces of silver, and the old couple had already left happily and gratefully. 2k reading web
