Chapter 146: Neighbor Jiang Mansion
Not noticing his abnormality at all, Hotaru Yue said very confidently: "Of course, I don't want to be a canary, I have what I want to do, and I have my own career, only by getting rid of the Hou Mansion can I let go of my hands and do things." ”
Speaking of her career, she gushed endlessly, Jiang Jiayu found that she didn't seem to care that she had lost her proportion, but her eyebrows were fluttering, and she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile silently when she said that she was going to prepare a great blueprint for splitting and listing next.
Jiang Jiayu didn't understand many words, but Firefly Yue's energetic appearance was infectious.
"Actually, I should have moved out of the Hou Mansion a long time ago, after all, the life of a noble lady who lives in a simple place really affects the speed at which I make money." In the end, Hotaru sighed.
Seeing that Yingyue was talking quickly, Jiang Jiayu suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and said: "This is very good, when I saw Mrs. Yue for the first time, I felt that Mrs. Yue was not like other women, and sure enough." ”
"Oh, stop complimenting me, this hat is high enough."
Hotaru waved her hand embarrassedly, and although she said this, she couldn't hide her joy.
Jiang Jiayu said: "I am sincere, not hypocritical. By the way, do you remember tomorrow's promise? ”
Hotaru nodded: "Of course I remember." ”
***
Time goes back to a few days ago, and Firefly asked Jiang Jiayu for help, but overheard Jiang Jiayu talking about the Salesian Bureau.
Yes, it is the Salesian Bureau that Jiang Jiayu donated 1,000 taels of silver tickets before!
This matter was still caused by Chi Shuguang's stalking and stalking to see Firefly Yue and Jiang Jiayu betting with a thousand taels of silver tickets.
After resolving the misunderstanding, Jiang Jiayu donated the silver ticket to the Salesian Bureau, and by the way, he sold a wave of goodwill in front of Firefly Yue.
In fact, the Salesian Bureau is similar to an orphanage in modern times, but in ancient times it was generally called a solitary garden, and the Salesian Bureau is a government-run institution, different from those privately managed, more systematically.
Jiang Jiayu donated money to the children last time, but when she heard a message in the Taishi Mansion, she hurriedly relayed it to Yingyue: "In the past few days, I overheard a news, and after thinking about it, I am still going to tell you." ”
At that time, Hotaru was still thinking about how to survive the crisis in Linglong Pavilion, and when she heard him speak, she only responded lightly: "What news?" ”
With a serious expression, Jiang Jiayu stared at her silently.
didn't hear him speak, Hotaru Yue raised her eyes to look at him, and when she saw that he was so serious, she put down the things in her hand and said, "You say." ”
Jiang Jiayu said slowly: "I heard that in the past few days, many wealthy businessmen have privately set up a lonely garden dedicated to adopting street children. ”
Gently bowing her head, Firefly Yue only thought it was a good thing, but she didn't understand why Jiang Jiayu suddenly had to talk to herself about it.
Jiang Jiayu explained: "This matter is not so simple, I have heard that there are many orphanages such as orphanages such as lonely gardens and health halls of wealthy businessmen, because the children have no one to take care of, they are either thrown to the Salesian Bureau or sent to become coolie laborers on the black market, which is even more miserable than slaves." Not only that, but recently there have been a lot of children on the street who cut off their hands and feet to become beggars on the side of the road. ”
"What?" Hotaru stood up suddenly: "You mean they...... They ......"
She felt so cruel that she couldn't even say it.
Nodding solemnly, Jiang Jiayu looked sad: "Their purpose is nothing more than one, how can a businessman do something loss-making?" ”
In fact, 1,000 taels is not a small amount, but perhaps in front of too many orphans, there are more monks and less porridge.
Maybe last time Jiang Jiayu's 1,000 taels of silver tickets turned into gossip and spread out, it made the already miserable orphans' lives even worse.
Jiang Jiayu thought that this was his responsibility, and he said guiltily: "All this is my responsibility, so I want to visit in secret, would you like to join me?" ”
Hotaru sat back slowly, not immediately agreeing.
Seeing this, Jiang Jiayu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will respect your decision, if you don't want it, then I'll go myself." ”
Originally, he had a lot of confidence that Hotaru would go with him, but when he saw Hotaru Tsuki's unclear attitude, that confidence vanished and sneered at himself.
"No, I'm going! Knowing such a thing, how can I stay in the Hou Mansion with peace of mind, I want to go with you to find out the truth of the matter. Hotaru agreed.
For this unannounced visit, they made an appointment a few days later.
But I didn't expect it to be so coincidental before this, and I met again.
"Tomorrow, I will send someone to pick you up at Linglong Pavilion, and when the time comes, you can follow his explanation."
Jiang Jiayu arranged, looking at his temperament of controlling the whole audience, Hotaru Yue chose to believe in him unconditionally.
She said, "Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow." ”
Saying goodbye to Jiang Jiayu, Yingyue returned to Linglong Pavilion, thought of tomorrow's plan, and put Ning Shuyao back in advance for the first time, rested early, and waited for tomorrow's secret visit.
***
The next morning, when the sky was bright and the fog had not yet lifted, there was a knock at the back door of the Linglong Pavilion.
"Here we are."
As the sound fell, the back door opened.
Hotaru Yue cautiously glanced at the carriage outside, turned back to Chunlan and explained, "Remember what I said?" If Mrs. Ning asked me, she would say that I had something to do and would come back later. ”
"The slave remembers."
Nodding solemnly, Chun Lan responded.
After getting into the carriage, Yingyue found that there was still a set of brand-new clothes in it, and she held it in the palm of her hand with some doubts, and heard the coachman outside say: "Madam, this is the clothes that Jiang Gongzi has prepared for you, and I want you to change them after you get in the carriage." ”
"Okay."
Hotaru didn't hesitate and changed her clothes.
After about an hour, the carriage slowly stopped, and as soon as Hotaru came over, she saw that she had also changed into a very different merchant costume from her usual life, and the clothes of the two were similar.
Jiang Jiayu approached and said, "Later, you will follow me, and we will pretend to be a couple who plan to adopt, and go inside to find out the truth and take a walk." ”
"Okay." Without any objection to his proposal, Hotaru nodded in response, wetting her palms a little nervously.
Seeing her nervousness, Jiang Jiayu soothed: "Don't be nervous, I'll come when something happens." ”
She said stiffly, "I'm not nervous. ”
The two were about to go in together, but Jiang Jiayu stood still.
Hotaru Yue wondered, "What's wrong with you?" ”
glanced at her helplessly, and then looked at the arm he had already carried: "Don't you think we don't look like a couple now?" ”
"Ahh
Hotaru Yue, who reacted, hurriedly hugged his arm and stuck out her tongue apologetically.
Looking at her so cute, Jiang Jiayu couldn't help but chuckle.
