Chapter 79: Can't Hide It

Inside the compound.

A group of teenage children, all with wide eyes, looked at Mr. Gong Miao.

Mr. Gong Miao looked at the scene in front of him and was shocked.

"This ......"

In April, he was introduced: "These children, the youngest is only six or seven years old, and the eldest is eleven or twelve years old. Fifty-two people were harvested since the snowfall, and they were kept for one meal a day. As the weather gets colder, there will be more orphans like them living on the streets. It's a heavy responsibility! ”

Mr. Gong Miao's eyes were a little moist, and his heart hurt fiercely, "What can the old man do for them?" ”

"Teach them to read, read, understand, and learn a skill. In terms of food and clothing, I will find a way to not worry about Mr. Lao. ”

"Madame has a noble character, but the old man was shallow before. The old man solemnly apologized and asked his wife to forgive me. Mr. Gong Miao bent down and bowed, and he was about to apologize.

April avoided this big gift.

"Sir has tormented me. I just can't see the children suffering, and I can't help it. There are many people out there who die of cold and starvation every day, and my ability is limited, and these are the only people I can save. They are too young to do anything else. Some children have been wandering for so long that they can't speak clearly. If the gentleman does not dislike it, ask the gentleman to teach them. I won't let my husband work in vain. ”

"Is Madame humiliating the old man? Madame can do her best for these children, why can't the old man. Madame rest assured, this group of children will be handed over to the old man, and the old man will teach them with his heart. Anyway, the palace won't need me for the time being, but the rice and grain will not be less than half a cent. ”

April smiled, "Thank you, sir!" The children were finally saved. ”

She can be regarded as fooling a real university scholar.

Mr. Gong Miao, she had heard of the other party's reputation in her previous life, and she was one of the few scholars who stood up and asked for her life, and once led the neighboring families to defend the city against the thieves. After the city is broken, if it does not fall, it will be killed!

After working hard for so long, she finally snatched a talent from the palace.

She told the cycad, "In the future, you will also follow Mr. Gong Miao to study, you must read attentively, not perfunctory." The weather is very cold, and the drill is changed from one training a day to one training every two days, so as to avoid getting sick with a cold. Now there is a shortage of doctors and medicines everywhere, and it is difficult to treat if you get sick. ”

"Don't worry, boss, I know."

There are too many people to live in the compound. In April, he took charge and rented the courtyards on the left and right.

In this way, the children and the recruit training can be placed in two compounds without interfering with each other. The courtyard in the middle is used for reading, eating, and being a female celebrity.

Mr. Gong Miao does have a heart for the people, not just talking. He directly moved his luggage and stayed in the compound. Even the little maids who served around him were rushed by him to work, helping to discipline the children and take care of the children's diet and daily life.

On the side of the palace, he said hello and said that he had something to leave.

Linchuan Wang Yang Ding didn't care about his stay at all, and was even a little glad that there was one less person who was noisy in his ears. But the treatment of rice and grain that should be given is not less than that.

The palace is not short of this money.

Gong Miao took out all his money to buy food and improve the lives of his children.

In April, he advised him, "The price of grain is high, and buying grain now is to help grain merchants make money." I still have some food stored here, so I can save some food, and I should be able to eat it until the beginning of spring next year. ”

"How do you have so much food?"

Mr. Gong Miao paid attention to it, and the people in the three courtyards combined, to say the least, there were two or three hundred. It is said that there are still some people outside, and he did not inquire about what they are doing.

Raising so many people is not a small pressure on food.

In April of Yuan, an inconspicuous concubine in the palace was also driven to live outside the mansion. Where did she get so much money, so much food?

She is a concubine, what is she doing with so many people?

The three-day two-end drill is stricter than the regular army, what do you want to do?

He had too many questions, but he also knew that there were some questions that should not be asked. Because, what Yuan April is doing so far is all good deeds, good deeds. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a bodhisattva who saves people.

Because he inquired, the people here were basically little beggars in the past, orphans without father and mother. Everyone, in this winter, is alive because of Yuan April.

She is the living bodhisattva.

"Earlier, when the price of food had not yet risen, I stocked up on a little food." April was not hidden.

I can't hide it.

With so many people eating, there must be an explanation for where the food came from.

"Earlier, you started hoarding food? Could it be that you knew in advance that food would skyrocket? ”

"I'm from the countryside and I'm sensitive to food prices. I heard that there were thieves outside, and the trouble was a bit terrible, so I kept an eye on it. Unexpectedly, with good luck, these grains came in handy. ”

"You?"

Mr. Gong Miao did not believe this explanation. There are so many peasants, all of whom are sensitive to grain prices, but why is it that no one can anticipate the sharp rise in grain prices in advance, and no one hoards grain in advance.

But if it weren't for that, there would be no other reason.

He can only regard all this as Yuan April's luck and the children's luck. Without Yuan April's early hoarding of food, these children would all die this winter, without exception.

No one paid attention to Mr. Gong Miao's whereabouts, but some people paid attention to the movements of April.

Because of this, when Yang learned that Mr. Gong Miao was teaching there in April, his jaw dropped in shock.

Yuyin told him, "Mrs. Yuan took in many homeless children, and they were all placed in the courtyard on the other side of Nancheng. Mr. Gong Miao is teaching there, and he enjoys it every day. ”

"She's kind. Where did she get the food to take in those children? ”

"I don't know. The slave maid sent someone to check the yard over there, and Mrs. Yuan not only took in homeless children, but also raised hundreds of young soldiers. ”

"What did you say?"

Yang thought he had heard a fantasy.

"The slave didn't dare to hide Lang Jun, this matter is true. The oldest of those young soldiers was only eighteen or nineteen years old. In the past, it was practiced once a day, but now it is cold and it has been changed to a practice every two days. The slave and maid secretly went to see it, and they practiced it very well, not like blind practice. ”

Yang Ze's face sank slightly, "Are you sure what you said is true?" ”

"If it is a lie, the slave and maid are willing to die."

"Check! Find out where she got the money and where the food came from. She is a woman's family, raising so many private soldiers and hiding from the palace, what does she want to do. ”

Yang directly smashed the teacup in his hand.

He once thought he had seen through April, but now it seems like a joke.

She's been hiding something from herself!

His instincts were right, and she had been hiding herself all along. No wonder they want to leave the palace alive or dead, no wonder they disdain the wealth of the palace.

This is the way to make money!

Or, there is another financial support behind it.

Outrageous!
