Chapter 117: A Little Song at the Banquet

Zhuang Rou didn't expect someone to give him a gift, a pair of hairpins of red coral, which sounded like a good look, and it was just confiscated in the silver that the little county king wanted.

She also has some jewelry herself, which is not very valuable, and she usually wears it for fun. But there was no need to do those things that should be arrested, and she didn't bring any of them with her to Hongzhou this time.

Holding the box to the fourth floor, Zhuang Rou found that it was very quiet, although each box was full of people, and the windows were wide open. But everyone pricked up their ears to hear the movement in the largest box, and it was uncomfortably quiet.

No matter how delicious the dishes are, no one on the third or fourth floor really wants to eat, and it is the right thing to win over the relationship to find out the news and pat on the back.

Zhuang Rou went upstairs and took a look at the boxes with wide open windows, and walked towards the box where Shi Zang and Yang Qing stood at the door, and knew that the little county king was in it at a glance.

Seeing Shi Zang standing at the door and emitting a cold breath, she felt that the person sitting on the fourth floor was so pitiful that she didn't dare to speak loudly.

She walked over to the two and smiled, "Two brothers, have you received any gifts?"

Shi Zang glanced at the box in Zhuang Rou's hand and did not say anything. Mo Cong smiled heartily: "How can there be, it's all for adults."

"I have." Zhuang Rou raised the box in his hand and shook it, and opened it with great joy in his tone, "Just now on the third floor, someone gave me a pair of red coral hairpins, you can take a look." ”

When the box was opened, a pair of golden peach blossoms and red coral hairpins were revealed, although they were not large enough, but the three golden peach blossoms inlaid with red coral were very delicate and very suitable for girls to wear.

Mo Cong was stunned, and immediately praised: "It's really good, the person who gave the gift really has a heart."

"Yes, I've made a note of who he is, and I'm sure I won't trouble him in the future." Zhuang Rou picked up the hairpin and gestured in front of her, and then put it into the box with satisfaction.

Then she smacked her lips and muttered to herself, "I can have a little free tonight, and I will patrol the streets from tomorrow, and I think I will catch a lot of people coming back, I don't know if the prison is enough to close ......"

Mo Cong glanced at her and smiled.

But Shi Zang said very appropriately: "Why are you catching it back, like before, the one who attacked the tolerance will be killed."

"Brother Shi is really good at joking, I just smashed a few stores, although there were a lot of injuries, but there were only about twenty deaths." Zhuang Rou squinted her eyes and smiled at him.

Shi Zang looked at her gloomily, "Go in, don't get in the way." ”

Zhuang Rou pouted, covered the box and pushed open the door, and before the person stepped in, he shouted, "My lord, someone has sent me something, it's very beautiful, take a look." ”

She thought that the people inside must be characters, so she had to give some greeting gifts if she shouted like this, so that the small treasury would have more transactions.

"Such a blatant gift, this classic history is really comfortable." Mo Cong nodded in agreement.

Shi Zang glanced at him coldly, and continued to stand at the door with a cold face, and the aura on his body that no one should enter was stronger.

Chu Xia was talking to an old man in Hongzhou who had been given the title of loyalty by the previous emperor, who had donated almost all of his family property to fight against foreign enemies, and four of his five sons also died on the battlefield.

After that, the emperor named him the man of Hongzhou County, and personally gave him the word loyalty, and he was also the most prestigious person in Hongzhou. No matter how big the matter is, as long as Song Yi, the county man of the Song family, comes out to say something, there is no injustice here.

If you want to be a stable governor in Hongzhou, you have to get the approval of Song County's man, if he supports him, it will be like a fish in water, and you can be a local emperor.

Zhuang Rou came in and shouted, everyone in the room looked over, and the atmosphere was not like a banquet at all, but as if the two countries were playing a game with each other.

Chu Xia looked at her and frowned slightly, but her face was still kind, and when she was about to speak, Zhuang Rou, who was stunned when she saw that the situation was wrong, spoke first.

"My lord, the people of Hongzhou are so kind. They heard that the adults were going to sell all the gifts they received at this banquet and exchange them for silver to repair the temple and the school, and to open a medical clinic that would be free of medical fees. It is also necessary to let all children go to school, so that orphans and widows can have something to rely on, and all rush to give their hearts. ”

Zhuang Rou walked over and put the box on the table, her expression was full of excitement, "This is what one of them offered, I didn't expect the people here to be so moral, I think it's all the adults in Hongzhou and the local family to set an example." ”

"My lord, this matter has to be carved and erected in the most conspicuous place, so that the people of Hongzhou can know how blessed it is to live in Hongzhou. We must be grateful to those who contribute money and efforts, or in a few years, Hongzhou will inevitably become a place of virtue and righteousness that people talk about! ”

The whole room looked at her carefully, and some were confused by her ambitions. Chu Xia looked at her in surprise, thinking that even if she came in and said the wrong thing, there was no need to make it up so much. If you can't do these things when the time comes, will you end up by yourself?

He immediately said: "Your idea is good, but this is a huge expense, and it is not enough to collect these donated gifts."

Chu Xia definitely didn't fall for her, and he just wanted to push this matter away, not to mention that there was no place to do this, even if there was money for him to spend, it was a super troublesome thing.

It's not like being a coolie to be an official here, so don't work so hard, just eat and have fun.

Song Yi touched his beard and said with a smile: "My lord really cares about the people, it's really amazing." The people of Hongzhou have this blessing, it is really a blessing for three lives! ”

Zhuang Rou stretched out his head and leaned over, grabbed his hand sleeve and thanked him excitedly: "Grandpa, I think you are an elder with prestige, and it's great that you support us so much in doing this." When the time comes, if there is a place where you need to use silver, it will depend on your strong support and that of all of you. ”

"On behalf of the state capital and the people of Hongzhou, thank you, my grandfather died early, from today onwards, you are my grandfather and the grandfather of the people of Hongzhou!"

"Slow!" Song Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately stopped the enthusiastic Zhuang Rou, "Let's discuss this matter again, I don't dare to be this grandfather, the little girl is very cute, let's sit down and sit down first." ”

"So it's just a polite remark?" Zhuang Rou looked at him in a daze, let go of his sleeves, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, staggered around and walked to the corner, and squatted down against the wall.

No one in the room said a word, and Song Yi didn't expect that someone would be so emotionally exposed that they were very embarrassed, and the atmosphere in the room was even worse than before.

Hey......

Chu Xia stiffened his head and laughed a few times, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere, "Don't mind Elder Song, my subordinate always cares about the people, and he did everything in Douhu County before, just for the well-being of the people." ”

"Let everyone laugh, she is still young and impulsive, and please don't blame Song Lao."

There are steps to go down, so Song Yi also said: "It's okay, it's best to be able to care about the people, whether it's a man or a woman."

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a lot, an official took the opportunity to say: "It's better to call someone to sing a little song, today is a good day for adults to take office, and it will be more festive."

Chu Xia nodded, "Okay." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a singing sound in the corner of the room, "I want to eat, I sleep in a broken temple, I am hungry and cold, I don't have a father and mother, my mother ......."

Zhuang Rou squatted facing the wall, sniffed and continued to sing this song, and then changed another song, "I have no support, and I eat swill on the side of the road." The young have no fathers and mothers, and the wild dogs feed the children. There is no heart in the world, lying in the frost and snow, pitiful, miserable, and the world is desolate......"

She just squatted in the corner, humming a little song from nowhere in a desolate voice, each worse than the other, and no one had any appetite to listen to.

The sound of the song spread outside the wing, Shi Zang and Mo Cong glanced at each other inexplicably, although the voice was desolate, but it could be heard that it was Zhuang Rou's voice, and others would not dare to touch their heads like this.

The two of them didn't know what was going on inside, but it was certainly nothing good, so it was better not to go inside.

The other wings also heard it, and everyone was full of confusion, quietly guessing what was going on, why did Lord Zhizhou come out with such a tune?

"That's enough, you get out." Chu Xia finally spoke, although he didn't know what Zhuang Rou was doing, but it was not a way to keep singing like this, Lao Tzu was not dead yet, and he was singing so frustrating here.

Zhuang Rou stopped, only thinking that these people were really annoying, they all sang so badly, but no one took the initiative.

She stood up, walked to the door and opened half of the door but did not go out, stood at the door with her back to everyone and said, "I just want you to come out and say a word when you open a free school." Let those people who are not poor but want to take advantage of them, and want to send their children to study for nothing, know shame and not do this kind of taking advantage. ”

"I just didn't expect that I was thinking too simply. You don't need to think of a way to get money or land, you just want to borrow prestige, and you can't send away the people who take advantage of it. ”

"Sure enough, women are short-sighted, think things too straightforwardly, and don't think about things well enough, so they can't be compared with you." She looked back at the people in the room and turned to leave.

At this moment, a loud voice came from the house, "Sister Zhuang! ”

Zhuang Rou looked back and found that Chen Mufeng was actually here, it must be because of his father's status that he was sitting here. And Chen Mufeng, a big and strong guy, was in tears at this time.

He was saddened by those miserable songs, but unfortunately he was in a rich family and had never experienced such a thing. Thinking that there are so many people living so hard, the kind man really can't help it, so he can only endure it and cry bitterly.

"Mu Feng......" Zhuang Rou looked at him aggrievedly, pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry.

Chen Mufeng rushed to her from the table, grabbed her shoulders and shouted, "They don't help you, I'll help you!" I immediately wrote to my father that I must report this matter to the emperor, and ask the court to allocate money and send someone over. We can't let the people be so pitiful, so let's write now! ”

"Okay." Zhuang Rou nodded vigorously, and before she could say a few more words, the officials in Hongzhou suddenly stood up, grabbed Chen Mufeng left and right, and dragged him to the chair.

"What are you going to do, let me go, I'm going to write a letter!" Chen Mufeng struggled in confusion, not knowing what these people were trying to do.

At this time, Song Yi stood up and slowly walked to Zhuang Rou, and said cautiously: "Girl, I agreed to what you said." If someone wants to take advantage, I'll stop it, so it's possible. ”

At this time, he didn't let go of the money, but Zhuang Rou originally wanted this, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted at Chen Mufeng excitedly: "Mufeng, there is no need to write a letter, we can save the people from fire and water."

Chen Mufeng stopped struggling when he heard this, and shouted excitedly: "Sister Zhuang, let's go do this, what kind of food are we going to eat!"

"Well, come with me, let's go and count all the gifts you have received, so that we can exchange them for silver!" Zhuang Rou nodded vigorously, didn't pay attention to Chu Xia, and started to advocate on her own.

The two happily picked up the box on the table, said goodbye very casually, and left a room of people who were in a very unhappy mood and ran away.

Rushing to the second floor quickly, Zhuang Rou stopped, threw the box in his hand to Chen Mufeng, the previous excitement was long gone, and he said very calmly: "Wipe away your tears, follow me, sister will teach you a few tricks."

"Ah, aren't we going to count the gift list?" Chen Mufeng looked at her stunned, he couldn't react, how could he say that he wouldn't be excited if he wasn't excited.

Zhuang Rou looked at him and said, "Just now, I wanted to deceive the people inside and ask them to give me some gifts, so that I could exchange them for silver and give them to my lords." I didn't expect the play to be over, but it was a good thing to help the adults add a little more merit. ”

"It's just an emergency just now, and now it's time to get down to business, don't talk when the time comes, just shut up and put on a fierce face, go."

Chen Mufeng looked at her dumbfounded, what about Xiaoqu? Where did those little songs come from, are they now compiled!
