Well?

Didn't you just say that these people are pitiful?

How did it get on me?

Am I being tricked?

Wang Wen couldn't help but look at Zhou Xingyu and Wang Ye, but when he saw the two of them looking at him kindly, his eyes were full of appreciation.

This is not the most numb to Wang Wen's scalp, not only Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu looked at themselves, but even the rescued children also looked at themselves, and the originally numb eyes emitted a trace of light, as if walking alone in the night, and suddenly saw a little candlelight shining not far away.

Wang Wenwen wanted to refuse, but seeing those children with bright eyes, as if there was finally a glimmer of hope in their dark lives, and their eyes were full of expectation, Wang Wen's heart could no longer speak.

After a while, he finally softened his heart, and said helplessly to Wang Ye and Zhou Xing: "Okay, my Wang family also has an industry in Qingtan City, and when the time comes, I will let the steward over there arrange it, at least let them have something to do, and they won't worry about starving to death, until they have the ability to support themselves." ”

Speaking of this, his eyes looked at Zhou Xingyu and Wang Ye, and said, "Brother Wang, Brother Zhou, although I can arrange it, but the distance from the mountain village to Qingtan City, I have no choice, you can't let it go." ”

Seeing that Wang Wen agreed to arrange these people, the two of them had nothing to do with his request, and agreed without hesitation.

The last point was properly arranged, and this trip to the backer village could be regarded as a good beginning and a good end, and Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu were both relieved at the same time.

After finding a home for the children and women, the three of them trimmed it, simply made some food for the women and children, and then took the men out of the place that frightened them.

The group walked slowly, because they had more than twenty people to take care of the footsteps of these people, and the three of them did not ride horses, but chose to walk.

It wasn't until they left the backing village far behind and couldn't see any trace of them that these people's faces improved, but they still didn't talk much.

The journey was very slow, nearly a hundred miles, and if there were only three people, it would take two days at most. But because they had to take care of the steps of these women and children, the three of them walked for ten days before they arrived.

Qingtan City, a small city inside Xuanzhou, the whole small city is surrounded by a two-zhang high stone wall, and Jinyang City is naturally incomparable, but although the sparrow is small, there are all kinds of organs, and there should be no shortage of shops, inns, markets, and government yamen.

The three of them took the others into the city, and came directly to the outside of a manor, where there was already a short and fat old man with a warm face, and when he saw Wang Wen and the others coming, he immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face and greeted: "Young master, you are here." By the way, what are these? ”

The old man's eyes looked at the tattered-clad children and women behind Wang Wen, and asked with open eyes.

Compared with when they left, these people who were rescued by the three of them were much better mentally and physically, their faces were bloody, and their eyes were not as numb as before.

Seeing the old man's gaze, these children instinctively hid behind Zhou Xingyu and the others, looking at each other vigilantly in their eyes.

Wang Wen looked tired and relieved, looking at the old man in front of him, he replied respectfully: "Uncle Chen, didn't I tell you, just call me Awen, I have been studying at home all these years, and the affairs of Qingtan City have always been your troubles, and I will trouble you." ”

The old man in front of him is the Wang family's steward in Qingtan City, because Jinyang City and Qingtan City are far apart, it is naturally inconvenient for the Wang family to do everything themselves, almost everything is handled by the old man in front of him, and the monthly turnover is no less than 100,000, which can be imagined The Wang family's trust in the old man.

The old man has not lived up to the trust of the Wang family over the years, and has taken care of all affairs in an orderly manner.

Hearing Wang Wen's words, the old man's face suddenly turned solemn, and he said solemnly: "Young master, rules are rules, and they should not be wasted lightly. Young master, you must not treat your subordinates so kindly, the reason why the Wang family has this family business is because the rules of the Wang family have not changed. ”

The old man's tone was serious, not at all like the way the subordinates saw the treatment of the master, but like an elder in the family treating the juniors earnestly.

Looking at the old man's glance, Wang Wen suddenly shrank his head and begged for mercy: "Uncle Chen, I understand, I understand, I'll listen to you." ”

The old man sighed in his heart, knowing that Wang Wen didn't listen, so he had to say patiently again: "Young master, it's not the old servant who wants to talk about you, it's really the master If you are too close to your subordinates, you will inevitably lose your majesty, after a long time, those who have ill intentions will inevitably despise the master, you are familiar with the Confucian classics, and you understand the truth in the book......"

The old man muttered for a long time, and Wang Wen's gaze gradually became wooden, and he kept nodding his head, like a puppet.

Zhou Xingyu and Wang Ye glanced at each other, it was the first time they had seen such a Wang Wen.

After talking about Wang Wenxiao for half an hour, Wang Ye, Zhou Xingyu and others were about to fall asleep, and the old man stopped talking.

"By the way, young master, you haven't introduced these guests to the old servant yet!"

Hearing the old man's words, Wang Wen burst into tears in his heart, your old man can be regarded as thinking of the right thing.

was really afraid of being lectured by the old man, Wang Wen immediately pointed to Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu and introduced them to the old man, and then roughly talked about the situation along the way.

Wang Wen: "Uncle Chen, that's probably the way things are, these people still need to trouble you to arrange, whether it is to arrange to work in the family's workshop, or what, how much to arrange a way out for them, of course, it would be better if they could learn a craft, after all, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." ”

After listening to Wang Wen's words, the old man sighed, and then said bitterly: "Young master, you also know that there is a great drought in Xuanzhou, and the whole year of Xuanzhou has not been good recently, and this year's grain production has been greatly reduced, and it is already difficult to maintain basic expenses in the store." If you add these twenty or so people......"

Speaking of which, the old man's words did not continue.

The children behind Wang Ye and the others couldn't help but show apprehension.

Even Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu showed nervous looks.

Hearing the old man's words, Wang Wen hurriedly gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Chen, you just have to think of a way!" These are poor people, and if we don't take them in, these people really won't be able to live. If there is a problem with money, it is a big deal to deduct the head office from my share. ”

Although there is only one Wang Wen in the Wang family, there are many people in the side house and other clansmen, so the business of the Wang family is not only his family's, but also includes other people in the Wang family.

Even Wang Wen, the titular head of the Wang family, can't say a word about the family business, just express his opinion according to his share, and then pay dividends on schedule.

Hearing Wang Wen's words, the old man was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Since you have already spoken, young master, the old servant naturally can't help but listen, and I will help arrange these people. However, the young master can't do this kind of thing to cause trouble to his family in the future. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he shouted to the manor behind him, and suddenly six or seven sturdy healthy women walked out of the manor, and according to the old man's orders, he wanted to take these people away and make arrangements.

Seeing the old man's movements, both Wang Wen and Zhou Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally did a good deed.

The three of them couldn't help but feel relieved.

Just as the women were about to lead the children away, a little girl suddenly ran from the crowd, came directly to the three of them, and cried and said, "Three big brothers, thank you! ”

Although the others did not speak, they also looked at the three of them in unison, and their eyes contained gratitude.

Before the three of them came to their senses, the little girl had already run away and returned to the group again.

Looking at the children who had already walked away, the three of them did not speak for a long time, and there was an indescribable throbbing that echoed in the hearts of the three of them, and they could not calm down for a long time.

Until the children's figures disappeared, Wang Wen and others lived in the manor under the arrangement of the old man.

After a night of repairing in the Zhuangzi, the next day, the three of them hurriedly packed their bags and set out on their way to the state city again.

When they were on the road before, the three of them slowed down a lot in order to take care of other people's feet, which caused the trip to be delayed, and if they didn't hurry up, it was estimated that it would be a problem to be able to reach the state city on time.

"Young master, you bring these things."

Standing in front of the manor, the old man handed over a small mahogany box to Wang Wen.

"What is this?" Wang Wen was puzzled, and took the wooden box in the old man's hand, there were only four people present, whether it was Wang Ye or Zhou Xingyu or the old man, Wang Wen believed them, all opened the box on the spot, looking at the box, Wang Wen couldn't help but show doubts.

"Uncle Chen, who are you?"

The old man said as a matter of course: "The so-called money is a man's guts, when he goes out, how can he do without money, this is the benefit of Qingtan City this year, although there are still a few months, but at present, the Wang family's business in Qingtan City is very stable, and it is not a big problem to spend money in advance to give it to the young master." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Wang Wen closed the box and handed it to the old man.

"Uncle Wang, didn't you say it before, you arrange those children, and the money that is not enough will come out of me, and you can take the money back."

The old man smiled, stroked his beard under his chin, showed an expression that was really like this, and said: "I knew that the young master would say this, those words were just for those children, and the reason why I said this is to make them understand that they can have their current life, all thanks to your generosity, kindness, and kindness, and help them at the expense of their own interests, so that they can know that the Wang family is not easy, and learn to be grateful, so that they will not feel that the Wang family is rich, and it is natural to be good to them." In fact, with the financial resources of my Wang family, what is the difficulty of taking care of more than 20 people? ”

Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy!

There is no shortage of self-righteous people in the world, who will always take for granted what others have to give, and think that others are obligated to do anything for them.

In fact, they don't want to think about it, and they are not their parents, why should they take care of him, why should they do everything according to them, who do they think they are, slave owners? Everyone else is their slave?

Even if they are parents, shouldn't they be filial parents for their children, and do their filial piety and dedication for their parents?

The old man obviously saw it very thoroughly, so he had what he said yesterday, not asking those children to be grateful to the Wang family when they grow up, just asking for a few fewer white-eyed wolves in the future.

To be able to do this, I have to say that the old man has good intentions.

In the end, the three of them left the manor under the warm gaze of the old man. However, before leaving, Wang Wen left 10,000 taels of silver tickets.

Although the old man said it was very reasonable, his heart to help those children was true, if 10,000 taels of silver were saved, it would be enough for those children to grow up and have enough ability to live on their own.

After that, it's up to them.

The world is long, and others can accompany you for a while, but most of the distance is still on your own.
