Volume 2 - Growth Chapter 53 - Hypocrisy and Hypocrisy
When the sun rises in the east and the sky is shining, more than ten porridge tents have been set up in front of Xue's mansion. Bursts of white smoke also continued to drift into the air from Xue Mansion. The day of Xue Mansion's monthly opening of the canopy soup kitchen has come again!
On the third pole of the day, the noise outside Xue's mansion was extremely overcrowded.
Bursts of porridge fragrance wafted out of more than a dozen large porridge tents, wafted across the entire alley, and reached the street.
The aroma of porridge attracted beggars in the vicinity, as well as poor people who had no food at home.
The people and the beggars rushed to the porridge tent and pushed each other, for fear that they would not be able to grab a bowl of white porridge.
Just when everyone was in a mess, the housekeeper of the Xue Mansion, holding more than ten pairs of chopsticks, walked out of the mansion gate.
The butler held chopsticks in his hand and came to the porridge tent and said loudly: "Don't worry! Please wait a while and wait for me to try the chopsticks, and then I can make porridge!
At that time, please line up and don't compete with each other! Rest assured, the porridge that Xue Gongzi prepared today is enough!"
The housekeeper's voice fell, and he immediately walked to the porridge tent and threw the chopsticks in his hand from left to right. Everyone looked at the chopsticks in the pot with their eyes, for fear that the chopsticks would float up the next moment.
However, the chopsticks that fell into the pot quickly sank into the pot and disappeared.
"Everyone, look, porridge can sink chopsticks! Let's start the soup kitchen! Please line up in an orderly manner!" The butler yelled at the crowd.
"Good!"
"Master Xue is very kind!"
"Master Xue is such a good person!!"
Everyone watched the chopsticks disappear, and they were overjoyed and praised the Xue family. It is no longer the same as before, but an orderly queue.
These people and beggars, each holding a pottery bowl, lined up in front of more than ten porridge tents. The people and beggars in line looked at the porridge canopy with white smoke on their faces.
Under these more than ten porridge canopies, there is a big cauldron, and the subordinates of the Xue Mansion are busy, going in and out with a bucket. The subordinates in front of the tent kept adding porridge to the empty bowls of the people.
The people who came in and out carried buckets of white porridge and poured them into the cauldron.
The people who received the white porridge thanked them without exception. The housekeeper standing in front of the mansion watched the people eat porridge, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
Soon, it was already three poles in the morning, and the people and beggars in front of Xue's Mansion all got a bowl of white porridge. And the more than ten cauldrons in front of the mansion have also bottomed out at this moment.
The people gradually dispersed after eating the porridge, while the subordinates of the Xue Mansion cleaned up the porridge canopy and cleaned the garbage in front of the mansion.
All this is imprinted, and it has been in the eyes of Li Changfeng, who has been on the eaves. Li Changfeng saw that there was so much soup porridge in Xue's Mansion, and he couldn't help but think a little highly of Master Xue in his heart.
While admiring, Li Changfeng couldn't help but feel sad for Master Xue in his heart, what a good person, why was his son murdered by a bastard like Wu Liang?!
The fallen leaves are golden all over the ground, and the bright moon hangs high in the clouds.
The cicadas are singing all over the alleys, and the cold wind spreads the world.
The sun sets over the western mountains, and the bright moon hangs high. The silence in front of the Xue Mansion returned to the past.
The magnificent gate of Xue Mansion also closed with the arrival of the night sky.
"Hah"
Li Changfeng, who had been lying on the eaves, couldn't help yawning, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, jumped forward, and headed towards Xue's mansion.
The moonlight is faint, and the autumn wind is blowing. The alleys were filled with barking sounds; The huge Xue Mansion has entered the dead of night.
When everything was silent, a figure jumped down from the edge of the wall and walked cautiously. The fallen leaves in the courtyard made a slight noise at Li Changfeng's feet.
"Gollum"
Li Changfeng's belly made an inappropriate sound at the right time.
"Damn, it's useless tonight, but I'm sorry for the old man's hungry stomach!" Li Changfeng touched his stomach and said.
The climb by the wall fills the entire courtyard. Li Changfeng walked all the way along the wall After the first two days of exploration, Li Changfeng had already figured out the structure of the Xue Mansion and the work and rest time of the people in the mansion.
Li Changfeng followed the wall and came all the way to the arch. He was about to lean out of the arch when he heard footsteps in the hallway.
When Li Changfeng heard the sound, he hurriedly dodged and hid behind the wall, only poking his head out, his eyes staring at the corridor.
Looking through the moonlight, I saw a sneaky figure coming down the corridor.
The man held a small pot in his hand, and his eyes looked around from time to time, as if he was afraid of being discovered. I don't know what is in the small pot, but I see bursts of heat in the sea.
Just as Li Changfeng was staring at the steaming cauldron in his hand, a pungent smell of herbs suddenly entered his nasal cavity!
When Li Changfeng smelled it, he reacted that this pot was filled with herbs! Herbs? Li Changfeng immediately thought of Wu Liang, who framed Wu Ming and the others!
didn't have time to think about it, just by intuition, Li Changfeng felt that the herbs in that pot might not be so simple! Li Changfeng immediately followed softly, intending to follow the man to investigate carefully.
At this moment, at the end of the walk, there was another voice, but this time it was the sound of talking!
Li Changfeng didn't dare to hold it up, so he jumped lightly, and jumped to the eaves of the porch to hide.
"Miss, this way, please!"
"Why does it smell so much herb?"
"Oh, it's possible that it's in the house, and the little guy who delivered medicine to Childe just passed by here."
Soon, a man and a woman came closer, and Li Changfeng listened to the woman's voice and felt familiar. When the two of them came closer, Li Changfeng looked down by the moonlight, and his heart was suddenly shocked!
It turns out that the woman below is Xiaoyan!
Li Changfeng looked at the girl who was following closely behind the little girl, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
What's going on? It's so late, how could Xiaoyan appear in Xue Mansion? A series of questions suddenly surged into Li Changfeng's heart.
After a moment of weighing, Li Changfeng decided to follow the two and find out!
Li Changfeng jumped off the eaves of the porch, tiptoed behind the two, and followed the two all the way to the door of the inner courtyard. But seeing what the little maid said to a few people at the door, he took the girl into the inner courtyard.
Li Changfeng looked fixedly, and saw a large room in the inner courtyard, which was brightly lit at the moment, and the girl followed the little maid into the square.
Due to the strict security in the courtyard, Li Changfeng had to fly the eaves and walk the wall again, and enter the inner courtyard with the help of the eaves.
Li Changfeng walked along the eaves, avoided the family, and came all the way to the roof. With the experience of the past, Li Changfeng not only checked the quality of the tiles this time, but also deliberately lightened his steps.
Halfway through, he came to the middle of the eaves, Li Changfeng slowly lay down, gently lifted the tiles in front of him with his hands, and looked into the middle of the house with his eyes.
But seeing that the house was brightly lit, dozens of candles lit up the entire room. The room is full of bookshelves, and each shelf is lined with books, and as far as the eye can see, it looks like a sea of books.
In addition to the books, in the southeast corner, there is a large desk.
The desk is full of the four treasures of the study, and the brushes are long and short, thick and thin; There are large and small inkstones, various shapes, styles, and all kinds of four treasures of the study, which can be said to have everything.
There are three people in the room, standing in front of and behind the desk, the two behind the table are Master Xue and the housekeeper of the Xue Mansion, and the person in front of the table is Xiaoyan.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng on the eaves held his breath and listened carefully with his ears, and the conversation of the people in the house entered Li Changfeng's ears.
"What are you doing here? Isn't it because you want to regret it?!"
Master Xue's voice sounded, and his tone was full of unkindness and questioning.
"No, Xue Bo misunderstood! The little girl did what she said, how could she regret it? The little girl came to ask for something......"
Before the girl's voice fell, she was interrupted by Xue Lao: "Don't call me Uncle Xue!" Although your father saved the old man's life, when your father was seriously ill, the old man had already paid for him to find a doctor and medicine, and the old man had repaid this kindness!
My Xue family has nothing to do with your Xiao family! The old man doesn't owe you anything to the Xiao family! Although you and Xue Feng are childhood sweethearts! But don't forget, you are just the daughter of a little lang, and you are not qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Xue family!
Your marriage contract with Xue Feng has been dissolved! I advise you to go back wherever you came from, and stop thinking crookedly! Come and disturb the peace of my Xue family!"
Master Xue's words were full of bitterness. And on the eaves, the chivalrous Li Changfeng, after listening to the words of the two, naturally understood what was going on.
When Li Changfeng heard Master Xue's words, he immediately scolded in his heart: "The old man also said that you are benevolent and righteous and do good deeds!" I didn't expect it to be all pretended! Bah, hypocrisy!
Old thief, you are also a helper who hates the poor and loves the rich! It's really blind to the old man's eyes!
The ancients all said that it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage! It seems that your son was killed, and that is what he deserved, and you deserved it! You deserve it, old thief!"
"Good! The little girl doesn't call you Uncle Xue, the little girl calls you Master Xue! The little girl came to ask Master Xue to release Wu Ming and Zhang Danshen!
The little girl is willing to guarantee with her life that the two of them did not poison Xue Gongzi, and if they release the two of them, they will definitely be able to cure Xue Gongzi's illness!"
The girl's voice was slightly choked, and Li Changfeng on the roof didn't feel faintly distressed when he heard this, the little girl in the house.
"Smack!"
"Humph! How many times do you want the old man to say it?!You have nothing to do with the Xue family, why do you want to ask the old man?!
Moreover, Feng'er's current life worries are not caused by those two poisonous doctors! Why does the old man believe the words of outsiders?!Why does the old man believe your words?!"
When Master Xue heard this, he was immediately furious, picked up the inkstone on the table, and threw it to the ground, glaring angrily, pointing at the girl in front of him and saying sharply.
"Someone, send off!"
Immediately, without waiting for the girl to speak, Master Xue issued an eviction order. He turned away and didn't look at the girl again.
"Please!"
When the little guy outside the door heard this, he hurriedly entered the room.
The next scene shocked Li Changfeng, who peeked on the eaves.
I saw the girl in the house, kneeling down in the house with both knees, and prayed to Master Xue: "Master Xue, just beg you as a little girl, I believe that the little girl once, Xue Gongzi's poison is not the two of them, and please let Master Xue let him go, the little girl is willing to guarantee with her life, and the little girl kowtows to you!" ”
Xiaoyan's voice fell, and he kowtowed to Master Xue without listening, and the girl's forehead collided with the cold step, making a dull collision sound.
"Sending off!" Master Xue in the house turned a deaf ear to this, and said sharply again.
"Master, this ......"
"Drop-off! Didn't you hear that?!"
The housekeeper on the side saw that the girl was like this, and he was also a little unbearable, and was about to open his mouth to intercede for the girl, when Master Xue's angry shouts sounded again.
This angry shout not only made the housekeeper behind him dare not say much, but also broke the hope in the heart of the girl who was kneeling on the ground and kept kowtowing.
The girl got up slowly, and walked out of the house in a daze, accompanied by the little maid.
"Tell the people below that not everyone can enter the Xue Mansion! In the future, if anyone dares to let people in arbitrarily, then don't stay in the mansion! ”
After the girl walked out of the study, Master Xue's angry shouts sounded again.
