Chapter 503: Cents
Listening to her words, Chu Qiaomeng felt extremely reasonable.
"You're right, An Lan's heart for Chu Xingze is clear, and I also think she will return to the capital. Why don't we stay in the capital for three days to see if we can find Anlan, and if not, how about we make other plans? Chu Qiaomeng smiled and spoke.
Chu Qiaosi agreed, and the two decided to stay in the capital for the time being.
They quickly found a restaurant that was not too big to live in, and it was clean.
The next day, they began to search for a place outside the capital.
I wanted to look here, but who would have thought that I would see a group of ragged people, men and women, begging along the street by the roadside, but the people here didn't pay any attention to them.
"Where did the old thing come from, get out of here! You are so dilapidated in the capital, you see that our beggars here are much better than you refugees from other places. ”
A man was so angry that he kicked an old refugee with gray hair to the ground, and then tried to smash something at the elderly refugee.
The old refugee immediately fell to his knees and begged for mercy.
Chu Qiaosi couldn't look at it, so he immediately rushed over and slapped the man with a loud face.
"Stinky girl, you dare to hit me?"
"It's you who hit... Get out of here, or Miss Ben wants you to look good." Chu Qiaosi was rough and rude, but he didn't pay attention to his image.
Looking at Chu Qiaosi's angry appearance, this man actually weakened for a while.
This woman's aura is too strong, and she still has a breathing aura all over her body.
With a cold snort, the man left, and Chu Qiaomeng hurried over and helped the old man up with Chu Qiaosi.
"How did you come here, old gentleman? How did so many of you leave your homeland? Is there something going on in your hometown? Chu Qiaosi asked softly.
Hearing this, the old man burst into tears in an instant.
"You don't know that there was a big fire in our hometown, and we are all mountain people, and how do we eat after this fire? For many years, we had relied on that mountain for food, so we had to leave our homeland and want to come to the capital to make a living. Unexpectedly, we met robbers on the way, and all of our more than 200 people in the village were robbed, and some of them died of illness on the way, and my young daughter was also taken away by them......"
Speaking of these sad things, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears.
"You guys are so pathetic. It's better to do this, I have some broken silver, old man, you can use it first. Chu Qiaosi took out some broken silver and stuffed it into his hand.
Chu Qiaomeng hurriedly distributed the silver he brought to the others.
Seeing this, the other refugees rushed to them to ask for money.
Seeing that so many refugees had no place to live, Chu Qiaosi decided to find them a place first, and then let them live and work here in peace.
"Why don't you find a place to live tonight. Come here early tomorrow morning to meet here, and I'll arrange a place for you then, I don't know what you think? Chu Qiaosi asked gently.
They have now reached such a point that they can only follow their arrangement, buy some steamed buns for them and leave.
"You girl is nosy, although we can give them alms, but outside the palace, there is not much money, how to settle it now?" Chu Qiaomeng sighed helplessly.
Just now, she persuaded Chu Qiaosi not to do much and just give some money, but this girl had to find a place for these people to live and live.
"Okay, Sister Huang, isn't it just money, money is simply something outside of our body for us, how much we want. But they are different, we only need to spend a few hundred taels of silver to let them live and work in peace, why not! Chu Qiaosi smiled and spoke, she thought it was a beautiful thing.
"Besides, all the people in this world are the children of my father, and if my father knew about it, he would agree with my approach."
"Having said that, we don't have much money at the moment, and we only carry a few hundred taels, if we give them all, what will we spend in the future? Have you ever thought about this? Chu Qiaomeng frowned.
She had a deep plan in this matter, after all, she was a few years older than Chu Qiaosi, and she also knew the truth.
Chu Qiaosi grabbed her hair, she didn't realize the problem.
She had already said these words just now, Chu Qiaomeng was not a vicious person, and she would not let these refugees really care.
She pulled out a jade pendant from her bosom.
"This jade pendant is an ordinary gift from a minister on his birthday, even if it is ordinary, it should only cost a few hundred taels of silver. This time, my grandfather told us to keep a low profile, and I didn't bring much jewelry. What did you bring? ”
Chu Qiaomeng naturally knows that women like to wear jewelry.
Chu Qiaosi took a jade bracelet from his hand.
"This time I only wore a jade bracelet, why don't we sell the jewelry......"
Right now, they are away from home, they don't have much money, so they can only sell their jewelry...
When they came to the pawnshop, the two gave the jewelry.
The shopkeeper picked up the jade bracelet and glanced at it, and gave two hundred taels of silver. Glancing at the small jade pendant, he gave a hundred taels of silver.
"Boss, you're a little too black-hearted. Although this jade pendant is small, it costs at least three or four hundred taels of silver when you buy it, why do you suppress the price so hard? Chu Qiaomeng was dissatisfied.
"This is the property of the official family, and it should not be owned by the two of you. Therefore, the price is high enough, and ordinary people dare not accept these objects from you. The boss knew the truth and laughed happily.
He took out three hundred taels of silver and put them on the table and pointed them out.
"The money is here, if you don't want to, you can go somewhere else, this is the most money you can give under it, or it depends on the two girls who have eyes." The boss said a lot of polite words.
With a look, Chu Qiaomeng and Chu Qiaosi both agreed to sell the jewelry.
They knew that these pawnshop owners were also black-hearted, and they couldn't afford to pay a high price here, and they couldn't go anywhere else for too much silver.
With these three hundred taels of silver, they directly bought a large mansion.
Early the next morning, they met in place, and Chu Qiaosi and Chu Qiaomeng led them to a special mansion. It is a very spacious and large house, and although it is in the middle of nowhere, it is cheap.
"Yesterday I distributed you silver, and this place is so spacious that you can settle down here, and the rest of the road is up to you. As long as you have two hands, you can get paid for your labor......"
In front of everyone, Chu Qiaomeng said an impassioned and encouraging word to them.
Some of these people are old, weak, sick and disabled, but more are young and strong. Moreover, in the capital, even if they are sixty or seventy years old, many can find some jobs that suit them.
