Chapter 54: Poor People

In the rhythmic clatter of the horse's hooves, the carriage quickly drove to the main street, Jiang Xinyi and Xiaoping got out of the car, and bought a lot of things along the way, what quilts, grain, cakes, and Dagui followed behind, and sent them to the carriage first, and they were very busy, and when they arrived at the residence of Xiao Yiran's brothers, the carriage was already very full, and Jiang Xinyi and Xiaoping's feet were sore.

Before I got out of the car, I heard Xiao Yiran shouting excitedly: "Brother, come on, sister is here." ”

After Jiang Xinyi got out of the car, she hugged Xiao Yiran in her arms and praised, "Ah, Yiran is wearing new clothes, so handsome." ”

"The third aunt said that she bought it with the silver you gave, sister, you see, my brother also has it." Xiao Yiran put his arms around Jiang Xinyi's neck and said.

At this time, Xiaohu also came over, wearing the same blue cloth cotton clothes and cotton pants as his younger brother, these two brothers are already good-looking, and when they dress up a little, they are even more lovely, thinking that their father and mother must be a beautiful person who is talented and beautiful, but unfortunately, a good family has become like this, and I don't know what kind of mistake their father made, looking at the child's words and deeds, their father should not be a heinous bad person, Jiang Xinyi secretly guessed.

"So well-behaved today, didn't you go out to play?" Jiang Xinyi regretted it as soon as she spoke, damn, where are these two children going to play, they are still hungry and anxious, so they went out to find food?

"Ah, madam, come and sit down in my room." The "woman" I saw yesterday came back with a basket, and greeted Jiang Xinyi happily when she saw her.

"No, I'll take a look at these two kids, if you're not busy, come and talk for a while." After Jiang Xinyi finished speaking, she hugged Xiao Yiran and entered the low thatched hut.

It can be said that it can't be described only as shabby, a few wooden planks are spread on the ground, look at the shabby bedding on it, needless to say that it must be the so-called "bed", two of the legs of a table by the door are grafted with sticks, Jiang Xinyi lifted a dusty blue cloth on the table, and saw that there were several broken bowls covered underneath, and each bowl was like the front teeth of the old "milk" and "milk".

The sensible Xiaohu wanted Jiang Xinyi to sit, but he didn't know where to let her sit, so he rubbed his hands anxiously.

At this time, the "woman" actually moved a chair and walked in and said to Jiang Xinyi, "Madam, please take a seat." "When I put down the stool, I wiped the surface of the stool with my sleeve.

Jiang Xinyi hugged Yiran and sat down, "I don't know what to call you." She asked the woman.

"Mrs. Yu, the slave's surname is Gao, and the husband's surname is Li, ranking third, so the neighbors call me Li San's family." The woman replied.

"Oh, it turned out that the surname was Li, so what kind of relatives are you related to his family?" Jiang Xinyi asked.

"Mrs. Hui, we don't know his family, their family originally lived in the north, they only met a year ago, I heard that the child's father committed something, was confiscated of the family property, and was imprisoned, these two children and their "milk" and "milk" three people, not even a place to live, just slept in the broken temple outside the city, but was met by my family, I took them home, let them sleep in this grass hut, it is better than the broken temple, before the child's "milk" and "milk" were there, but also to help people wash clothes, Earn a little money to support these two children, but last month I suffered from the cold and left the two children behind, alas. Li Sanjia burst into tears when he said this, and Xiaoping, who came in with something, was also infected, and gloomily helped them lay out the newly bought bedding.

Jiang Xinyi twisted her head to the side, holding back her tears from flowing out, and just happened to see Dagui who came in with a big bag and asked her, "Master, where are these placed?" ”

"Just put it on the bed, by the way, Dagui, you hurry home to see your mother, don't worry, anyway, just rush back to the palace before dark." Jiang Xinyi then remembered the matter of Dagui.

"Thank you, master, Dagui will definitely return home sooner, and he won't make you embarrassed." Dagui bowed to Jiang Xinyi gratefully, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Xinyi again.

"Ping'er, didn't the pastries we bought earlier be doubled? Take one of each and give it to Dagui. Jiang Xinyi said to Xiaoping.

"Don't need the master, let's leave it to these two babies to eat." Dagui hurriedly refused, after all, his mother still had a hot meal to eat, which was much better than these two children.

"Take it, I originally bought a copy of your mother, say hello to your mother for me." Jiang Xinyi said and gave Xiaoping a look, Xiaoping hurriedly handed over a few packets of pastries she had found, Dagui didn't say anything, so she only took it gratefully and left.

"By the way, madam, the silver you gave me yesterday bought them each a set of cotton clothes, and there is a lot left, all here." Li Sanjia took out a small bag wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Jiang Xinyi.

"No need, third aunt of the Li family, seeing that you are also a kind-hearted person, the rest will be used as their food, please add more rice when you cook by yourself, and I will leave you some silver taels." After Jiang Xinyi finished speaking, she took out the loose silver that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to her.

"Thank you Madame for your trust, it's just that I don't often stay at home, my family went to Qilin Mountain to do hard labor, and when I was in a hurry, I often did it, you know, it's not easy for us people to make some money, otherwise, when I'm not at home, I ask Granny Lin in front of me to cook for them, she is also a kind-hearted person, do you think it's okay." Li Sanjia discussed with Jiang Xinyi.

"That's fine, anyway, I + Passion will come and walk around often." Jiang Xinyi thought about it and had only this way, so she could only deal with it temporarily, maybe after she left the palace, she could really take care of them personally, but it was best to find out what their father was wrong, he was sentenced to a few years, if the pervert could help, as long as it was not murder and arson, 'adultery', 'adultery' and plunder, and disobedience to the emperor, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with it!

"It's the same, you have to listen to your brother and third aunt, don't run around and be bullied by bad people, you know? My sister will come to see you in a few days. After Jiang Xinyi finished speaking, she put Yiran beside Xiaohu, and led Xiaoping to get into the carriage and leave.

"Master, where do you want to go?" Lao He asked outside the carriage.

"I want to look around the capital, is that okay?" Jiang Xinyi opened the curtain and asked Lao He.

"Master, look at what you said, you can go wherever you want, the prince has commanded, let's go north first." Old He Le replied hehehehe.

Jiang Xinyi didn't put down the curtain when she heard this, her eyes were not good enough to look to both sides, trying hard to remember the buildings, streets, and alleys on both sides, Xiaoping looked at her so seriously and seriously on the side, and she didn't dare to speak, but she felt that the master was very strange now, so she didn't laugh with her!

When the carriage passed by the north gate, Jiang Xinyi saw two pairs of guards standing at the gate, and then looked up at the city tower, where there were also people guarding them, with bows and arrows on their backs.

"Why do you have to get these soldiers to defend the city? I was flustered when I watched it, and I felt that I was going to fight. Jiang Xinyi asked Xiaoping half-jokingly.

"It's to be defended, Xiliangguo and our Dongliangguo are mortal enemies, they always send Xiaozuo here, and they fought a few years ago, and a lot of people died." Xiaoping explained to Jiang Xinyi very seriously, and didn't ask her why she didn't even know this, because the master's head was in water, so she forgot a lot of things, for example, when the master's menstrual event came, she couldn't even remember what kind of mat she used, or she taught her to wrap cotton in a cloth by herself, and she also said that the menstrual affair was the unlucky aunt who came, and she didn't know how the master's aunt offended her!

As a result, Xiaoping began to have a great fear of water, and even when she was fetching water at the well, she was extra careful not to let herself fall into the water, otherwise it would be really pitiful if the water entered her brain.

The carriage slowly drove south, and Jiang Xinyi began to discover the advantages of the horse-drawn carriage, no need to refuel, and it would not pollute the air, just feed the horse some hay when it stopped, and there was a special pocket for horse manure at the tail of the horse, which was also harvested by farmers.

Hey, why is this street so deserted? Most of the shops on the street are closed, except for a few small shops with their doors open. Jiang Xinyi couldn't help but ask Xiaoping curiously.

"I heard that the feng shui here is not good, and strange things often happened in the past few years, and a few shops died inexplicably, so this is like this." Xiaoping didn't answer, and Lao He, who had sharp ears, hurriedly explained.

Oh, I see, then the rent of the store on this side must be terrible cheap, and the feng shui is not good? It's pure rumor, what if a few shops died inexplicably, and the other streets would be fine? Maybe it's artificial, Jiang Xinyi looked at the closed shops one after another, and secretly planned in her heart, if it really doesn't work, she will rent a building here to open a restaurant, find a profitable assistant, she is not bad to be the boss behind the scenes, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and her craftsmanship is not afraid that the restaurant will not be prosperous.

"Master, the noble family lives in front." Lao He turned back to Jiang Xinyi and said.

"Really? Since we're passing by, let's go and have a look, maybe we can have a meal. Jiang Xinyi said to Lao He with a smile.

"Are you really going to his house?" Lao He thought she was joking.

"That's right, it's been a long time, my mouth is thirsty, my stomach is hungry, Dagui won't be stingy and won't even give us saliva to drink, right?" Jiang Xinyi said with a smile.

After turning two corners, the carriage stopped in front of a small courtyard, and the three people in the carriage were full of joy and wanted to scare Dagui, but unexpectedly, a person ran out of the door and walked out of the door, frantically smashed the door frame with his fist, and after a few clicks, blood stains were seen on the door frame.

"Dagui, what are you kid doing? Something happened at home. Lao He jumped out of the car and grabbed the man's fist again.

That person is really Dagui, when he just let him go home, he was excited like a child, and he kept smiling stupidly, but now?

Dagui raised his head and looked at Lao He in front of him, and Jiang Xinyi and Xiaoping, who were jumping out of the carriage, without even saying hello, squatting on the ground aggrievedly, crying, and grabbing his hair with two bloody hands.

Jiang Xinyi, Xiaoping and Lao He exchanged glances with each other, could it be that his mother had already ......
