After the carriage traveled for a while, Zhao Wanning was about to separate from Pei Yue.

They are in different directions. Pei Yue and the people of Dali Temple wanted to bring the stunned subordinates back to Dali Temple in the capital, while Zhao Wanning wanted to take these children to Jishan Hall outside the city.

"Just let me get off here." Pei Yue said and lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

Zhao Wanning also got out of the car.

"Why are you coming down too? Outside—"

"It's windy outside, I know." Zhao Wanning interrupted him, she took a tiger skin blanket out of the carriage and put it on Pei Yue.

"This is a tiger fur blanket from the Holy Heaven, and I just lent it to you. You remember to pay me back. ”

If you want to act tonight, Pei Yue and they are not good at wearing too thick, they are wearing some light and cheap clothes. It was late at night and there were snowflakes. The snow was heavy in the middle of the night, and Pei Yue's face was about to freeze.

Something went wrong tonight. The man with strong martial arts was very vigilant, and the wine mixed with sweat medicine seemed to be of no use to him, but he did not show it. Watching the brothers around him fall down one by one after drinking, he did the same, lying on the table and pretending to be poisoned and unconscious, but in fact, he kept an eye on his surroundings.

Zhanzhi was also deceived by him.

When the people of Dali Temple rushed in to save those children, the man suddenly became in trouble, and Pei Yue and the others had to fight with him. In the end, it was the silver needle in Pei Yue's hand that knocked him out.

Originally, Pei Yue planned to set fire to the courtyard after rescuing these children, and then call the surrounding villagers to put out the fire. When Uncle Zhong's men woke up, they told them that they had accidentally set fire to the yard while they were drinking, and the children had taken the opportunity to escape.

But this master found Pei Yue and a few people, so he and Uncle Zhong's other subordinates couldn't be left behind.

Pei Yue had no choice but to repeat the old trick, and while these people were still in a coma, he tied them directly into Dali Temple.

Because of this, Pei Yue and the others delayed for a while and almost missed the appointed time.

The tiger fur blanket was still warm with the temperature inside the carriage. Pei Yue held the tiger fur blanket tightly with both hands, and his heart was very ironing.

Zhao Wanning is caring about him.

Pei Yue raised his eyes to look at Zhao Wanning and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely return it to you." ”

Zhao Wanning felt that everything was starting to develop in a strange direction again, her eyes dodged around, and she deliberately pretended to be cold and said, "Aren't you going back to the capital?" Aren't you going to Dali Temple tomorrow? Then let's go. ”

"Okay." Pei Yue glanced at Zhao Wanning greedily before turning around and leaving.

He took a few steps forward, then suddenly turned around and called Zhao Wanning, who was about to get into the carriage: "County Lord, this year's first snow ......"

"It's beautiful."

Zhao Wanning felt a little inexplicable. On such a cold day, in the middle of the night, they still have to do things in this place where there is no village and no store, which is miserable enough. Who knew that the house leaked and was windy and rainy, and suddenly it snowed, the weather was colder, and the road was more difficult to walk. Pei Yue still has the heart to stay here to enjoy the snow?

Pei Yue looked at Zhao Wanning deeply, his eyes reflected in the moonlight and snowflakes, shining in the dark night.

Zhao Wanning deliberately ignored the throbbing in his heart, waved his hand at Pei Yue, and motioned for him to hurry back.

In the middle of the night, three horse-drawn carriages drove leisurely on the small roads on the outskirts of Beijing.

The moonlight is cold, and the snowflakes are trickling.

It was very warm inside the carriage, and more than a dozen children of different ages were huddled together in one carriage. The man who rescued them from the sea of suffering said that he was the official of the court, and that he would bring these bad people who had hurt them to justice, and that someone would take them to a safer place.

At this time, the children were sitting in the carriage, and the road ahead was vast, and their hearts were also extremely worried.

However, there is no more painful experience than becoming a tool for others to make money. The children also decided to believe in this court official, if the bet is right, they can usher in a good life for themselves, if the bet is wrong, it is just to return to the darkness.

The carriage seemed to have been traveling for a long time, until the children were asleep, and finally reached Jishantang.

It is also inaccurate to say that it is Jishantang. The real Jishantang is located on Xuanwu Street in the capital. It was a drugstore, and from the outside it looked like no other drugstore, but it didn't charge any money, or very little. Most of the doctors in charge of seeing doctors and taking medicine are women.

It was a pharmacy opened by the eldest princess Zhao Wangshu to help the hard-working people.

Before meeting the eldest princess, Zhao Wanning had heard of the name of Jishantang, and also knew that Jishantang did not charge money for medical treatment. They provide free aid to the poor, and they also give porridge during the coldest part of winter, so that those who are desperate can survive the long winter. Later, there were even some poor families who could not afford to raise their children, so they left their children at the door of Jishan Hall and sneaked away.

Fortunately, Jishantang received all the orders.

But there are so many miserable people in this world, where can they be saved by a small Jishantang. The original small courtyard of Jizentang was soon filled with people. After all, it was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the capital was expensive, so Jishantang later built a house in Zhaojia Village around the outskirts of Beijing and transferred people there.

Zhao Wanning is going to send these children to Zhaojia Village today.

Zhaojia Village.

Xiao Hongyi has been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time. She was afraid that Zhao Wanning would not be able to find the way in this dark night, and she was afraid that if something went wrong with Pei Yue, the whole person would be restless, like a headless fly, walking around under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

It's already three minutes past the agreed time, and Xiao Hongyi really can't wait. She thought that if she waited for another stick of incense, if Zhao Wanning hadn't come after a stick of incense, she would ride forward to meet Zhao Wanning.

Originally, Xiao Hongyi planned to pick up those children with Zhao Wanning. But Zhao Wanning said that if Pei Yue saw her, I am afraid that he would be able to guess that the boss behind Jishantang was the eldest princess. I'm afraid this is not good for Princess Celestia. In order to protect the eldest princess, Xiao Hongyi had to give up.

At this moment, Xiao Hongyi regretted that he didn't go with Zhao Wanning, even if he couldn't stand by Zhao Wanning's side, hide in the dark and secretly protect her. Zhao Wanning is a pampered county lord after all, if something really happens, she will definitely not be able to deal with it.

Xiao Hongyi sighed heavily and looked in the direction where Zhao Wanning came. In the darkness ahead, three lights suddenly appeared.

The light was as dim as a bean, but it made Xiao Hongyi breathe a sigh of relief.

didn't care about anything else, Xiao Hongyi directly made a light effort, and flew to the carriage at the front with a few horizontal jumps.

The driver who was driving the car thought it was a sneak attack, and held the reins with one hand and the dagger at his waist with the other.

"Old Niu, it's me." Xiao Hongyi said.

The coachman called "Lao Niu" relaxed when he saw that it was Xiao Hongyi.

Xiao Hongyi took the opportunity to lift the curtain.

The carriage was crowded with several sleeping beggars, all so dirty that they could no longer see the color of their clothes, and their hair was dry and messy like straw.

Zhao Wanning, dressed in dark purple brocade, sat among them, her cloak draped over several little beggars.

Xiao Hongyi smiled, she knew that Zhao Wanning was a good person.

"Shh Zhao Wanning was startled by Xiao Hongyi, who suddenly appeared, and she raised her hand to make a silent gesture. The children didn't seem to have had a good rest for a long time, and they fell asleep in the rickety carriage.

The carriage soon drove to the door of the house.

This house is usually tended by a woman. After she got the orders of the eldest princess, she had already prepared a place to live for the group of children in advance.

At this moment, she was waiting at the door with several aunts, waiting for the arrival of these children.

Xiao Hongyi helped Zhao Wanning get out of the carriage, and then led her to meet these aunts.

As soon as Zhao Wanning looked up, she saw a bewitching woman with a peach blossom face, she was wearing a pink jacket, standing in front of the porch, and the warm lights shone on her face, adding a bit of beauty to her.

"Jiao Niang?" Zhao Wanning blurted out.

"Do you know Jiao Niang?" Xiao Hongyi felt very strange.

When that Jiao Niang saw Zhao Wanning, she also recognized her. She covered the corners of her mouth and smiled, "I've met once." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Hongyi to continue to ask, Jiao Niang explained: "Last time, this girl came to my gambling house disguised as a man, and she brought people from the official mansion over, and she almost destroyed my gambling house. ”

Zhao Wanning felt very embarrassed when she thought of the situation last time. She scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "I'm really sorry, Jiao Niang." Last time, it was my maid who was not sensible, and she was too worried about me, so she went to call someone. ”

"Haha." Jiao Niang smiled heartily, raised her hand and patted Zhao Wanning's shoulder and said, "It's okay, we don't know each other." ”

Then, Jiao Niang put away her smile and solemnly saluted Zhao Wanning: "The little girl Nian Nujiao has seen the county lord of Qinghe. Last time, I neglected the county lord in the gambling house, and I hope that the county lord will not count the villain. ”

Zhao Wanning hurriedly helped Jiao Niang up: "Sister Jiao Niang, what are you talking about?" Last time in the gambling house, we also acted recklessly, which caused a lot of chaos for you and the gambling house. Although it was also to save Tao at that time...... I hope it doesn't bother you. ”

"It's just a small thing, it's not a trouble." Jiao Niang saw that Zhao Wanning was thinly dressed, so she hurriedly led her into the house: "It's deeper and heavier outside, let's go into the house and talk." ”

"The Tao you saved last time was also with them, right?" Although it was a question, Jiao Niang had an affirmative tone.

Jiao Niang raised her finger and pointed to the little beggars who were rubbing their eyes and yawning one after another from the carriage, and several ladies waiting at the door were already arranging for them to move in. It's getting late today, so let them stay first.

Zhao Wanning nodded and said, "Their affairs must have been told to you by Hongyi, and Ah Tao and Meng Meng were the same as them before." Oh, Meng Meng is the little girl who hugged Ah Tao that day. I had saved Meng Meng on the street before, so I asked about the rest of the story. ”

Jiao Niang sighed with emotion: "The county lord has a good heart, and there will definitely be good rewards." ”

Zhao Wanning smiled and said, "I haven't thought about any good people and good rewards, it's just a gesture." We, the noble ladies of the clan, are pampered in fine clothes and food on weekdays, and how much we have been worshipped, we should naturally take on more responsibilities, which is worthy of my identity as the county lord. ”

"And Jiao Niang, don't call me the county lord anymore. Since we don't know each other, then you can call me Wanning like Hongyi. ”

That Jiao Niang is also a person with a bold personality, and she stroked her palms and said, "Okay, I will call you Wanning in the future." ”

Zhao Wanning took a sip of hot tea, and then asked, "Jiao Niang, if I didn't find Ah Tao that day and took her back, would you also take her back to this mansion?" ”

Jiao Niang took a soup woman for Zhao Wanning and stuffed it into her hand, and said leisurely: "Yes, if you don't come, I will take her back to this house." Now that she can follow you, it can be regarded as her creation. ”

Xiao Hongyi, who was on the side, couldn't help but interject: "That Ah Tao is really related to the two of you." ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
