No. 971: Lord Cai, who cherishes feathers

Chen Liu was thinking about something, and when he heard this, he cut off his train of thought and said with a smile, "No, I just asked casually."

Master Cai glanced outside, "Lord Chen, it's not too early at this time, otherwise you can rest in the mansion for the night, and I'll take you to the dock early tomorrow morning."

"Well said!"

Chen Liu walked inside with him, while looking around, and immediately found that this Cai Mansion really had the smell of the four walls.

It's not that poor that really, but that this house is a little too empty, and there is no accommodation in the outer courtyard, so I just looked at it, and this outer courtyard doesn't seem to have a courtyard.

It can be seen that the place outside is not big.

When I got to the inner courtyard, there were several courtyards, but there were faint lights inside, which showed that there were people living there.

But when I walked all the way, I didn't see two people on the road, and there were very few lights everywhere, and it seemed that the whole backyard was a little too dim.

Lord Cai seemed to notice his observation, so he smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Let Lord Chen see it, now the finances of various places are a little tight, not to mention our Datong, there is no salary in the yamen, and the people in the city still need to settle down, this food and clothing is a big expense every day.

Although I am not a good official who has helped the people in the world, I also know the truth that the common people are like water, and they can carry the boat and restore the boat.

Now we are so tense here, if we don't settle these people well, it will be a huge hidden danger, so ......

"So Lord Cai gave up his assets to settle the victims in the city?"

Lord Cai just smiled when he heard this, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Chen Liu bowed his hand, "The adults are righteous, and the people of Datong will remember the efforts of the adults."

"I don't want these people to remember, I just hope to survive this time and see them return to their homes, work in the fields again, and build their homes again."

When Lord Cai said these words, his tone was a little heavy, and the lights were shining in the distance, and the corners of his eyes were a little shining.

Chen Liu didn't say anything more, but finally followed him into the main courtyard.

"Lord Cai, this ......"

"It's okay, I've been away from the house for a long time, and now I live alone in this main courtyard, I can't hide it, and there is no extra mattress for Lord Chen to sleep in elsewhere, and please don't make jokes about Lord Chen."

As Lord Cai said, his mansion in Datong is really a little too poor.

I didn't see it very clearly last night, but I couldn't really see it until I got up in the morning.

The back and forth is just a mother-in-law and two maids waiting, and the three servants are all a little yellow and thin, and the food served is also very simple.

But observing the expressions of Lord Cai and everyone in this mansion, it can be seen that this kind of life is ordinary.

Chen Liu also noticed a detail, although Lord Cai looked dressed quite modestly, in fact, the cuffs of the one inside had been ground out of the raw edges.

If this news reaches the capital, it is estimated that no one will be able to believe it!

After all, even though this Lord Cai is only a member of the local government, in fact, he is still a fourth-grade official appointed by the imperial court.

The two of them hurriedly ate a steamed bun, drank half a bowl of porridge, and left the house.

The grandmother of the Cai family called the maid over to clean up her house.

Seeing that the maid carefully placed the open-ended bowl on the tray, Grandma Cai was angry, "Do you say your father is sick in the brain?!"

He said this to the man sitting in the corner of the room.

Naturally, it was her husband, the eldest young master of the Cai family.

"How do you speak?" When the eldest young master heard her words, he frowned, "You are not the girl who came out of the small portal, why don't you even have such rules?"

As soon as she heard what he said, Grandma Cai was so angry that she stood up directly, "What did you say? You're telling me the rules? Why don't you tell me about your family?

Whose house is with your father?

Dear like this? The family can't eat enough, and they are still trying to move their own things outside?

Let's just say that the set of tables and chairs with small leaves and red sandalwood in front of you, which was sent by Jingli to your mother's birthday, was reluctant to use it when her mother was there, and was locked in the warehouse all the time.

Originally, I thought it was for the sake of the children who were hungry, and I wanted to sell it and change it to something good to make up for the child, but what happened? It's all gone to the porridge shed!"

Speaking of this, Grandma Cai cried aggrievedly, "Who can live such a life, it is your own son, your father's own grandson.

I know that your father loves fame and likes people to call him a son who loves the people like a son, but no matter how much he loves the people like a son, he is also like a son! You're still his own son!

Why don't you see him be nicer to you and to your son? Look at what the children have become, every day is these white porridge and white steamed buns, not to mention the children, even I can't stand it."

Young Master Cai has been back for more than two months because he was excluded.

originally felt that he was in that office, fighting wits and courage with those people every day, and he was bullied so badly, so fortunately, he was directly printed and left.

Hengzhu's father can also be regarded as the day of Datong, and he is currently at war, and when the war is almost over, let his father find a way to operate, maybe he can take another way, if he can vote under the prince's door, do you still need to worry about the future?

But who knew that after coming to the house, it would be like this.

He was also dizzy with hunger, and he ate those things so much that he wanted to vomit, but what could he do?

Now it is precisely because of these actions of my father that those refugees living in the city have nothing to say, and they are huddled in the shack in peace.

It's one thing to understand, it's another to accept.

On weekdays, he takes into account decency and his father's thoughts, and he never dares to say a word.

At this time, the daughter-in-law read it out, and her heart couldn't help but become nameless.

But this kind of fire can't really be sent to the father, so he can only point the finger at his wife, "I've loved, I haven't loved you, you don't look at your mother's house, and now I don't know how many people are still there, and you can't even find out where they are."

If you are at your mother's house at this time, you may not be able to eat a mouthful of white, haven't you seen those refugees in Datong City?

Look at what they're eating, they can eat like that, isn't it just to live, and if you don't persevere, do you want to die when it's so difficult?"

Unexpectedly, her husband would say such a thing, Grandma Cai was stunned for a while before she slowly came back to her senses, and immediately cried, "At the beginning, I didn't know who came to my house to propose, and I just said that everything is up to me, and there are people who serve me in and out, and I will never be treated badly if I eat and dress well every day, what kind of life am I living now!"

She began to scold and cry at the same time, and Young Master Cai felt that the noise hurt his head when he heard it, so he simply walked out, and suddenly remembered something, "Is there any news from my mother?"
