"I'm here, Brother Cui takes his leave."

"Farewell ......"

……

After saying goodbye to Cui Qingze, after Chen Chong returned to the house, he went straight into the study, picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and changed the pen to the other hand.

He wrote a few lines with a pen, put it in an envelope, and sealed it with clay.

He raised his head and asked, "What is the third lady doing?" ”

The maid who served at the door immediately replied, "Miss is bathing, and she will go out in a while." ”

Over the years, if he hadn't taken the initiative to accompany her out for a walk, Miaoyu would not have left the house easily, but these days, she had to go out almost every two days, Chen Chong naturally knew where she was going, put the envelope in her sleeve, and said lightly: "When Miaoyu comes out, let me know." ”

"Yes."

The maid replied softly, Chen Chong sat back at the desk, took out a book and flipped through it, before muttering, "Yingfu guards your heart......"

……

In an alley in Kyoto.

A woman with a large bag of things in her hand turned her head and smiled: "The girl is so kind to these children, no wonder they often talk about you." ”

As if Ruoqing was also carrying something in his hand, he said with a smile: "They are all fatherless and motherless, they come to the hook bar to help a little on weekdays, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, send some things over, it should also be, this year everyone celebrates in the hook bar, it is better to call them over, there are many people, and it is more lively." ”

The place where the two of them are at the moment does not belong to the downtown area, it is a poor dwelling in Kyoto, and more than a dozen steps behind them, there are several figures following from afar.

The woman nodded, "It would have been more interesting if these little ones had been here tonight." ”

The two came to the front of a small courtyard and knocked on the door, and soon there was the sound of cheerful footsteps inside.

After the courtyard door opened, a little girl with two pigtails appeared in front of her, looked at them, and said in surprise: "Sister Ruoqing, you are here!" ”

The woman beside her pretended to frown, and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you only see Sister Ruoqing?" ”

The little girl immediately made a look of surprise again, and said with wide eyes: "Little Green Sister, you are here too!" ”

Wan Ruoqing leaned over, touched her little head, and said, "Xiaobei is wearing so beautiful clothes today, and her hair is also very beautiful, did Sister Shuangshuang comb it for you?" ”

Hearing Sister Ruoqing praise her beautiful clothes and braids, the little girl was even more happy, her eyes were bent into crescents, and she hurriedly said: "It's not Sister Shuangshuang, Sister Shuangshuang won't comb such beautiful braids, it was the eldest brother who combed it for me, and the beautiful clothes were also given to us by the eldest brother." ”

"Big brother?" A look of doubt appeared on Ruoqing's face.

"Sister Ruoqing is here!"

A cheerful voice came from the room, and several figures immediately ran out of it, all of them were children, the eldest was twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest was only six or seven years old.

Of course, there are also older ones, Li Yi was held by a little girl and walked out of the room, and when he saw Wan Ruoqing, he was "surprised" for a moment, and then smiled: "What a coincidence......"

……

"Sister Ruoqing, these candied fruits given to us by my eldest brother are delicious, you can taste a ......"

The girl named Xiaobei ran out of the house, put a candied fruit in Wan Ruoqing's hand, and after thinking about it, she ran in and took one for Li Yi, and then ran away again.

Li Yi threw the candied fruit into his mouth, and then said: "I heard Sun Lao say yesterday that these children are lonely, and it is not easy to help them support themselves in the goulan on weekdays, and it is almost the New Year, so I will come and see them......"

"Poor kids." Wan Ruoqing looked at the figures running around in the yard, a smile appeared on her face, and said: "When they are older, you can teach them something, and in the future, you don't have to worry about life." ”

Li Yi knows that she has lived a hard life since she was a child, and has experienced those hardships, and for those who have the same experience or some lower conditions, she will be full of pity, of course, it is not pure pity, it is the soup soup at the door of the goulan, and it will also let those beggars obtain it through their own labor......

Not to mention that there are no beggars in Kyoto, but the life of beggars in Kyoto is undoubtedly much better than that of beggars in other places.

Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, both of them have a lot to do, after seeing these children, they walked back together.

"I've thought about it in the past few days, if we want to extend our hook fence to the Qi country, it's not impossible, but we need to cultivate some people there that we can trust first......" On the way, Wan Ruoqing shook his head when he talked about the incident he mentioned a few days ago, "If there is only one state, it is simpler, and there are still great obstacles in the entire Qi country......"

"I'm not in such a hurry about this matter." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Actually, Jingguo is already big enough, and if it expands outward, it may be uncontrollable, so let's take one step at a time." ”

The two talked about it for a while, and they could already see the tick bar in front of them.

"Get out of the way, you stained Ben Gongzi's clothes, can you afford it!"

A sharp voice suddenly sounded from the front, Li Yi turned his head and saw a richly dressed young man carrying the hem of his clothes, looking at the beggar who fell to the ground with a look of disgust, and raised his feet to leave.

"Please, please save my child, she is very sick, please, please!"

A ragged woman fell to her knees on the ground, still holding a little girl of four or five years old tightly in her arms, the little girl had her eyes closed, and her little face was dirty, and she could still see the pale color.

"Get out of here, get out of here, this son is not a doctor, how can I save her......" The young man looked at her again in disgust, ripped off his clothes violently, and walked away quickly.

The woman was brought to the ground, still holding the little girl tightly, her eyes were blank, and she just kept muttering: "Help her, save her, she is only five years old, she is only five years old......

Seeing a white shadow walking in front of him and walking briskly forward, Li Yi smiled and slowly followed.

Wan Ruoqing walked over, leaned over, looked at the woman, and said with concern: "Auntie, what happened?" ”

The woman looked up at her, and was about to open her mouth, but her eyes suddenly widened, and her body trembled, and she could not speak.

Surprise appeared on Wan Ruoqing's face, "Auntie, auntie......"

Li Yi squatted down beside her, reached out and touched the little girl's forehead, turned back to the old man and said, "The little girl has a fever, time is urgent, take her to the doctor first." ”

The old man strode over and wanted to take the child from the woman's arms, but found that the child was hugged tightly by the woman, and said helplessly: "This sister-in-law, the child is important......

The woman finally came to her senses and hurriedly let go of the child, but immediately fell to her knees and kowtowed: "Thank you Niangniang, thank you Niangniang!" ”

"Let's go." The old man picked up the child, looked at her, and strode out of the crowd, the woman stood up, looked at Wan Ruoqing deeply, and soon disappeared into the crowd.

After the crowd dispersed, Li Yi shook his head and said angrily: "It's obviously me who helped her, why does she only thank you?" ”

Wan Ruoqing smiled and said, "Maybe that lady was too anxious just now......

Recalling the scene just now, Li Yi was surprised again: "Why does she call you Niangniang?" ”

Wan Ruoqing shook her head and muttered, "It should be that she recognized the wrong person." ”

Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Maybe she thinks of you as Guanyin Niangniang." ”

Wan Ruoqing was stunned, and then a trace of panic appeared on her pretty face, and she shook her head again and again: "Where can I compare to Guanyin Niangniang, this kind of thing, you can't talk nonsense." ”

Li Yi looked at him and said: "Guanyin Niangniang saves the suffering, Pudu sentient beings, our Ruoqing girl is also kind-hearted, saving people in danger, where can it not be compared?" ”

was a little blushing by what he said, "Our Ruoqing girl", Ruoqing lowered her head, and hurriedly said: "I, I'll go in first......"

Li Yi looked at her back as she left in a panic, smiled, and slowly followed.

On the street, the old man who was supported by a middle-aged man knocked on the ground with a cane and asked, "This is the minister?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes, he is Li Yi." ”

The old man turned his head again to look in the direction where the young man had left at the beginning, and asked, "Whose family is that bastard just now?" ”

The middle-aged man's face was complicated, and he said in a low voice: "It seems to be, it seems to be, which side branch of the Cui family ......"
