Chapter 24: Strike

For this master Dong who has been in the yamen for three years, the errand clerks in the yamen can only guess that he is roughly the son of a powerful man in the capital, but they don't understand why he came to this remote and small place to be a master.

The county commander's mouth was as if he had been locked with a few copper locks, which was called a strict one, and he couldn't inquire about any internal information.

From the attitude of the county commander to Master Dong, everyone understands one thing, that is, the county magistrate is careful not to provoke the people who look at their faces carefully.

Fortunately, this Master Dong from the capital, except for his temper is not very good, don't provoke him, and everyone has always been safe.

That is, in the past few days, there are friends in the capital, this Master Dong is in an unusually good mood, when he sees them in and out of the yamen, he will not only smile at the big guys, but also give them a rare silver to invite them to go to the wine shop to drink at night when they are not on a bad day.

However, Master Dong's friend is also a young man, who looks more handsome than his master, and is more like a master with a polite and polite style.

Now, I am roughly familiar with that little lady?

The handsome little lady in Mopan Town is not nothing, this master met him, and he didn't find him to take a few more looks.

"Less gossip and do things." Jin Zhutou looked at the person who walked away and said in a low voice.

After a while, Hong Xiaoduo, who didn't know that he had become a person known to Master Dong, followed him to a small teahouse.

Master Dong seems to be a frequent visitor here, as soon as he arrived at the door just now, the shopkeeper greeted him familiarly, and carefully instructed Xiao Er to share a table for the seven children to sit together.

Hong Xiaoduo noticed that when he just entered the teahouse, Tianshu whispered something to his younger brothers and sisters, and the seven little ones all nodded seriously.

When the man brought the melon and fruit snacks to the tea table in front of them, the eyes of the seven children widened a lot.

"You tell them to eat as they please, and don't be restrained." Master Dong saw the seven little bald heads sitting still in an orderly manner, and said with a slight sideways Hong Xiaoduo.

Hong Xiaoduo smiled and turned to look at the children: "You can eat whatever you want on the table, it's okay." ”

Hearing her say this, Xiao Kaiyang and Yaoguang looked at Tianshu first, and when they saw that he also nodded, they stretched out their little hands, took the butterfly cake closest to them, and ate it in small bites.

The other children also took it one after another, but only Tianshu didn't take the food, but poured himself a cup of tea, and still sat upright and looked at the storyteller in front of him.

The children are so well-behaved, sensible and cautious, Hong Xiaoduo only feels distressed, they have never eaten melon and fruit snacks, and their eyes are bright the moment they see it.

In fact, even if they grab food unruly, she will not scold, she will not feel embarrassed and embarrassed.

"How? If I don't like it, I'll ask them to change it? Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo picked up the teacup and took a sip and put it on the tea table, Dong Yuefan asked.

Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile: "I'm not good at tasting tea, as long as it is not bitter and can quench my thirst, so Brother Dong, no matter how good the tea you are, it is also for the cow to chew the peony." ”

Her words made Dong Yuefan couldn't help laughing, and her impression of her was even better.

In fact, there are not many tea customers in the teahouse, and the storyteller is an old man with gray hair and beard, and what he says is full of emotion, but Hong Xiaoduo has something on his mind and doesn't listen to it at all.

Similarly, Dong Yuefan didn't have the heart to listen to the book, she was too curious about the little lady sitting next to her, and she had too much to ask.

But he was afraid to ask something he shouldn't ask, and he annoyed people to ignore him, so he finally met something interesting.

Seeing that he wanted to speak several times and stopped, and picked up the teacup again, Hong Xiaoduo also felt like laughing.

"They were picked up by me on the road, little beggars. There are bugs in my hair, so, that's it. After thinking about it, he told him the answer he was curious about at the bun stall.

"Huh? It turns out that this is the case, the little lady has a chivalrous heart, and admires it. Dong Yuefan was very surprised when he heard the truth.

This is the good brother Mu Zitao, and he can't guess it!

"Chivalrous?" Hong Xiaoduo smiled bitterly.

Seeing her like this, Dong Yuefan felt that there was a story in it, and she was even more curious: "What, what is the embarrassing thing about the little lady Hong?" If you don't have enough money, you can have it below. "If silver can solve it, then it is not a problem.

Hong Xiaoduo shook his head: "It's not about silver, it's not enough silver, I can find a way to make it." But I ignored a problem, if they are still beggars, they don't need a guide where to go, and now they can't. ”

Speaking of this, Hong Xiaoduo looked at the children's position from him again, and made sure that even if his voice was low, they could hear it, so there were some words that could not be said here.

The reason why I agreed to come here to listen to books and drink tea with this person before, in fact, one of the biggest reasons is that when I heard him introduce himself, he said that he was the master of the yamen.

In that case, can you talk to him about the possibility of placing these children? There is also the problem of no way out.

This Master Dong, although he feels a little unreliable in his actions, is indeed not a bad person.

Therefore, just now, she directly told the identity of the child and her own difficulties, thinking about whether she could hear useful advice in the mouth of him, who works in the yamen.

"Then this is indeed a problem, you can take them to some small places, but if you really go to those big cities and counties, it won't work. Unless, don't go to the capital. Dong Yuefan also became upset when he heard this.

Don't go to the capital, yes, the capital is the most important place, the emperor is there, the closer you get to that side, the stricter the management.

"Where is the little lady Hong's house? The family should be well-off, right, do you want to bring them home? Dong Yuefan asked again.

Where is home? Would you believe me if I told you that I only knew that I was from another plane, but where my home was and where I was in amnesia?

"Oh, if it's inconvenient to say, Hong Xiaoniang can't say it, it's abrupt." Seeing her hesitation, Dong Yuefan immediately apologized.

Hong Xiaoduo thought for a while and organized his words: "I don't want to lie to Brother Dong, so." ”

When Dong Yuefan heard this, he immediately nodded: "I understand, I don't ask." ”

"Brother Dong, in fact, I want to know from you, for their situation, can the government yamen be accommodated?" Hong Xiaoduo still asked this question, and Yu Guang saw Tianshu's small bodies stiffening.

The children really were, paying attention to her conversation with this master, and didn't listen to the book.

Although knowing that letting them hear it will make the children feel uneasy. But. In fact, they have never been at ease, and they are careful to follow her no matter what they do, aren't they afraid of displeasing her, so they don't want them.

However, she herself is involuntarily, and she doesn't know when she will disappear and leave here.

Now let them listen and let them know that although it is a little cruel, it is still necessary to do it ruthlessly. can't know what they expect in their hearts, they can always follow her, but she can't guarantee that if she can't do it, she will let their expectations get higher and higher.

Hearing her question, Dong Yuefan put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the seven children over there and shook his head: "Little lady Hong doesn't know, although the imperial court treats them like this, the next order is to set up a shelter and relief hall in the local area.

However, in fact, the actual implementation is not so smooth.

I'm not afraid to be honest with you, that kind of containment department is usually done by local good people in the government and yamen.

However, the imperial court did not actually allocate relief funds.

The big place is okay, there are businessmen who contribute some money for the name, and there are good people who can barely maintain it.

A small place like Mopan Town is not rich in the first place, and the poor people who do things in the yamen are all worthy of supporting the family. The official has no oil and water to enter, not to mention that there is no such containment institution, even if there is, you can imagine what the situation will be.

Otherwise, why do you think that people in various places who encounter beggars and homeless people will not be expelled as long as they do not cause trouble?

Also, even if it is a shelter in those big places, it is not a place where they can live with food and clothing, and people will not support them for nothing all the time. Managers with good hearts will arrange for them to find work.

When I meet someone with a crooked heart, I will pick the one whose body is not broken, saying that it is sent to a large family to work, but in fact, it is sold to be a person.

If you are good-looking, your luck will not be so good, and you will be sold into the hook bar to make a living as a joker.

Boy, there is still a possibility that he will be sold into the palace and be a prisoner.

You don't even think about this kind of thing when a good person adopts, it's something that can be met but not sought. If you really can't have children, if you have some conditions, you will take a concubine. ”

Dong Yuefan's words were like a hammer, smashing Hong Xiaoduo into the ice cellar one by one.

The more she listened, the more hopeless it became, and the more hopeless it was, and it was terrifying, and she couldn't imagine that these seven children would be sold into those places by unscrupulous people.

She knew that what Dong Yuefan said was not alarmist, but that she was too simple and thought about the problem too simply.

Turning his head to look at the children, he saw that the faces of the seven children were tense, and Yuheng had tears on his face.

Dong Yuefan looked at her pale and ugly, and didn't know what to say to comfort her for a while: "Little lady Hong, don't be sad and embarrassed, so let's do it, I'll solve the problem of a few of them." ”

Yes? The conscience of heaven and earth, Hong Xiaoduo really didn't want to let him open the way, after all, it was a violation, and if he was discovered, it might affect him.

Let's talk about it again, Pingshui's acquaintance has not reached the point where she can help her do such a risky thing!

"Don't worry, I can still do this little thing." Seeing her looking at herself in a daze, her expression was cute and dumbfounded, so cute.

He couldn't help but want to pinch her cheek, but that was not appropriate, he controlled his paws and served tea.

Hong Xiaoduo blinked her big eyes, hesitated and plucked up her courage: "That's really good, but, But, Brother Dong, if I say it, I don't have a way......
