Lin Zifu has a general understanding of the capital, walking in the alleys, it is hard to imagine that the delicate lady of the Qin family would live in such a remote place before, and she always feels a little incredible.

Qin Ya really compromised a lot for Zhou Mingqi, and it can be seen that Qin Ya really likes Zhou Mingqi, and it is precisely because she likes a person that she will work hard to change.

There are many yards in the alleys, and the roads are just big enough for horse-drawn carriages to get in and out, because there are horse-drawn carriages passing by, which can be very congested.

The little servant of Qin Heng's family walked in front, turning around from time to time to tell Lin Zifu and Ye Beichen to be careful.

Near the end of the alley, a small courtyard appeared in front of him, and the Qin family stopped and knocked on the door.

Soon, the maid Taohong beside Qin Ya came and opened the door.

Taohong knew Lin Zifu and Ye Beichen, and when she saw the two of them outside the door, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

followed Peach into the yard, only to find that although the yard was not very big, it was divided into two entrances, and there were flower beds and wells in the outer yard, and Peach took them to the backyard.

Taohong took Lin Zifu and Ye Beichen into a room in the backyard, and as soon as she entered, she saw Qin Ya writing something with a pen, and when she felt that someone had entered the house, Qin Ya raised her head.

Qin Ya was writing the account book, but she didn't expect Lin Zifu and Ye Beichen to come, so she was very surprised when she saw the two of them, and put down the pen in her hand and stepped forward in surprise: "Zifu, why are you here?" ”

Lin Zifu smiled at Qin Ya and said, "I happened to be okay today, I came here to ask if you went to find those stray children." ”

This is a big deal, and the academy is about to start, and if she can find the right person, she can follow it, and she also wants to choose some suitable people.

Qin Ya invited Lin Zifu and Ye Beichen to sit down, and then took a list from the desk and gave it to Lin Zifu, and the names were densely written on it.

Lin Zifu looked at it carefully and counted it, there were a total of eighteen people, and there was age and gender behind the name, which can be said to be very detailed: "Is this the list of those street children?" ”

She didn't expect Qin Ya to move so quickly and get things done so quickly.

Qin Ya took another account book from the desk and gave it to Lin Zifu and said: "The one you see is the list, that is, the children who are willing to follow us to do things, this account book records whether these children have relatives, most of them have no relatives, some have relatives, but they are all elderly people such as grandparents, the reason why they are begging in the capital is because they are poor in other places, and they can't get food, there are many people in the capital and they are rich, and most of these street children are in groups." ”

She didn't believe that there were so many children begging before, but this time she was very touched, and when she saw a skinny child, picking up the steamed buns in the swill bucket, putting them in a bowl as a treasure, and bringing them back to the broken temple for the sick grandmother to eat, her tears couldn't stop falling.

Most of these children she met were because their relatives were not there, because they were young, they could only come out to beg, those children had a miserable life, and they were often beaten and scolded, one of the children, because the smell of the body was too stinky, was beaten by a gentleman with a small servant, she saw that Yu Xin couldn't bear it, and shouted "The official is coming" Then the gentleman was scared to leave.

And the child was rescued by her, taken to see a doctor, and asked if she wanted to follow her to do things, and finally sent the child to a yard bought outside the city, which was reassured.

In the past, she never felt how miserable life was, but this time, she came into contact with so many pure-eyed children, and then she felt that she was too a bastard and spent money like water.

Lin Zifu frowned slightly, sighed and said: "I have seen one or two begging children before, they are not very old, the eldest is only eleven or twelve years old, these children are living a miserable life, these children on the list are willing to follow us to do things, right?" ”

If there really were eighteen children, that would be enough.

Qin Ya nodded very seriously: "I asked about thirty children, I have traveled all over the capital inside and outside, only these eighteen children are willing to follow and do things, I have sent them to the courtyard outside the city, and their families have also let them lead over, we can provide food, drink and accommodation, Qiushui helps on the side of the yard, but I see that the yard I bought is too small, just three rooms, eighteen children temporarily live in one for men, one for women, and the remaining room is reserved for those old people to live, and cooking can only be in the side room." ”

At first, she didn't expect that there were so many children, but to her surprise, eighteen children were willing to follow along.

The three-room courtyard is indeed not large, and it must be crowded to accommodate eighteen children, but it can only be like this for the time being.

After thinking about it, he said: "Let's go and see it later, it just so happens that I will cure the disease, I can help those old people to cure the disease, these children I also plan to choose a few clever ones to follow to learn medical skills, and then go to the academy, there are many rooms in the academy, and the rest is to find someone who understands pharmacology, so let these children follow to learn pharmacology." ”

She wants to cultivate a few people of her own, in short, everything has to be done slowly.

Qin Ya was worried about how to settle these children before, but since Lin Zifu had a plan, it would be easy to do.

"Anyway, I listen to you, I will do what you tell me to do, this is much better than shopping with the rich wife outside." In the past, she thought it was good to go shopping and drink tea with a rich lady, but now that she thinks about it, she used to be not comfortable at all, although she spent a lot of money, she lived a busy life every day, and it was not as interesting as it is now.

When I saw those children who were miserable, I wanted to do something for those children.

Lin Zifu began to trust Qin Ya's ability to do things, and it was really good to be able to make everything so smooth, or in such a short period of time.

It's good to have this heart, and said: "There are a lot of interesting things, the key depends on what you want to do, I just think that you have to do something meaningful in life, and being able to help others within the scope of your ability is also a very meaningful thing." ”

Qin Ya smiled brightly, and agreed with what Lin Zifu said: "What you said is right, anyway, just leave these little things to me, Qiushui I let her settle over there, you guys are okay now, or we will go over now." ”

Lin Zifu is fine, this time is the best.

So the three of them went out of the alley, found two carriages, and went out of the city.

On the carriage, Qin Ya said the situation of the yard, because it was bought in a hurry, it was a little far away from the city, about three miles away, and the yard was not very big, but the house was very good, and the tiles covered by the mud walls cost more than a dozen taels of silver to buy a house.

Rice and noodles have been bought, and the stove room in the side house can also be cooked, and there is a communal well outside the yard, so it is also very convenient to draw water.

The carriage soon arrived at the village, Lin Zifu took a look, most of the houses in this village are very good, unlike Hejia Village, which is full of mud walls and thatched roofs, there are also blue brick and tile houses here, but the most are mud wall tile houses.

This kind of condition is good, and it is estimated that this situation can only be seen in slightly larger cities.

The carriage could not enter the village, so it stopped at the entrance of the village, paid the money to the coachman to wait, and several people entered the village.

Pink led the way in front, and soon arrived at the door of a small mud-walled courtyard, standing at the door, you could hear the noise inside, and there were children playing in the yard.

Pushing open the door, Lin Zifu saw three children about six or seven years old playing in the yard, most of these children were not well dressed, holes and patches were standard, and the black faces and messy hair made people feel distressed.

Qiu Xin was cooking in the stove room, and Qiu Xin's voice was faintly heard.

These children have all seen Qin Ya, so they are honest when they see Qin Ya, after all, they know that they are the ones who take them in, so they still have to be more or less behaving.

Peach went to the stove room and called Qiu Xin out, Qiu Xin told her about today's situation, and was a little angry: "There are five girls and thirteen boys here, but these children can't cook." ”

She rarely cooks, let alone delicious, and she hasn't done these things with Qin Ya, but now that she does it, she can't figure it out, and she doesn't have to worry about giving birth to these children.

Lin Zifu looked around, most of the children were sitting under the eaves, staring at them with blank eyes.

"Go and call the children over, fight in two rows, I have something to say." She was not polite, and directly ordered Qiu Xin.

Mo Hong and Mo Cui helped to call the children over, and the children's eyes were a little evasive.

Lin Zifu looked at the children who were standing crookedly, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you feel that you are not used to standing like this?" ”

After she finished speaking, she kept staring at the children in front of her, one of whom was a little older, about eleven or twelve years old, and said timidly: "Do you have any instructions for this young lady?" ”

They are used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, and they are still vigilant against Qin Yadu who helps them, and they don't have a sense of trust in Lin Zifu who suddenly appeared.

Lin Zifu is like a mirror in her heart, to put it bluntly, most of these children are insecure, they are used to seeing human nature by begging at the bottom, and they definitely don't believe in people very much at first, not to mention that there is no pie in the world, I can follow Qin Ya here and promise to do things with Qin Ya, and I don't know how much work Qin Ya has took.

smiled softly at the little girl, "What's your name?" ”

The little girl who spoke timidly said: "My father and mother call me Xiaoya, and my name is Wang Xiaoya." ”

Lin Zifu's voice was as soft as possible, and she paid special attention to the five girls present, so she knew that Wang Xiaoya had a sick grandfather: "Then I can call you Xiaoya?" Don't be afraid, this Mrs. Zhou and I are both people who are here to help you, my surname is Lin, you can call me Sister Zifu, or you can call me Doctor Lin, Xiaoya, did you bring your grandfather here? ”

Wang Xiaoya looked at Lin Zifu with some shock, and immediately understood something, nodded and said, "Take it, just lie in the house." ”

Lin Zifu glanced at Ye Beichen and smiled gently: "Beichen, you go to Grandpa Xiaoya, as well as Tongfu's mother and Xiaoquan's grandmother to take a look at the illness." ”
