Chapter 133:
In the morning, when Dongfang was just turning pale, in a small courtyard in the Imperial Capital, around twenty children surrounded a man in a white shirt and a silver mask, the expressions on their faces were full of parting. meaning.
"Master, how long will it take you to come back from this cloud tour?" A seven or eight-year-old boy asked Chen.
Chen raised his hand and rubbed the top of the boy's hair: "It's as long as a year, and as little as two months."
"Oh, that's what you Yunyou said last time, but I waited from five to eight years old!" The boy obviously didn't believe Chen's words.
Chen couldn't hold back his face, and coughed: "Last time I was delayed for various reasons as a teacher, this time I will keep my word for my teacher!"
"Master, you said that you will find a senior sister to help. When will the senior sister come?" asked the oldest child.
"Today, she will definitely come over. With her here, you may live a much better life than now. In short, as a teacher this time, I will definitely not find the wrong person. Don't worry!" Chen said solemnly.
However, those children, especially the older ones, didn't believe it at all. Earlier, the master also asked someone to take care of the asylum, saying that he would let them live a good life, but in the end, that person was taken care of in a few days. They couldn't help but left after hard work, and they have been living frugally with old man Yugui relying on the savings left by their master.
"Okay, let's go have breakfast, let's go for the teacher!" After Chen finished speaking, he put on a black gauze hat and left the yard with a small burden on his back.
The children watched him leave helplessly, then closed the courtyard door and went into the dining hall to eat.
Inside the Xianlaiju restaurant.
Mo Dai climbed up to the third floor with her breakfast, pushed open the door of a certain guest room, and closed the door behind her.
"Qiongqing, get up and have something to eat." Mo Dai put down the tray and looked helplessly at Qiongqing lying on the bed with her head covered.
Qiong woke up early in the morning, and the reason why he continued to lie with his head covered was because he felt ashamed to see others. Although he didn't regret that he got married with Mo Dai last night through Jiu Jin, but this morning he followed his instinct to do that kind of thing again in a daze, thinking of Mo Dai blushing, he dare not Looking at his expression with confidence, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and drill into it.
Suddenly, the quilt on his head was forcibly pulled away, he looked directly into Modai's bright black eyes, and was a little dazed for a moment, when Modai smiled, his mind exploded, she was laughing at him? So embarrassment and embarrassment surged again, and the blood in the body screamed to escape from this place.
When Mo Dai saw that Qiongqing's fingers were suddenly transparent, she panicked. Without thinking, she leaned over and kissed Qiongqing's lips. Between is an unrivaled soft touch.
"You look like you are tempting me!" Mo Dai said with her forehead against Qiongqing's.
"..." Qiongqing's long and slender eyelashes moved, like feathers lightly brushing against her heart, itching, the purple halo in her eyes became more and more mysterious, but at the same time, there was an air that could penetrate one's heart. pure.
"Please, try to refute me, if you do this, I will really turn into a beast!" Mo Dai sighed helplessly, kissed his eyes, and said unwillingly.
Qiongqing finally laughed. It turned out that he was not self-indulgent, so he whispered into her ear: "My wife, you make me so happy..."
While Qiong Qing was talking, he suddenly noticed that Mo Dai was trembling all over, and hugged him tightly, and it took a while to calm down.
This time it's embarrassing for Modai, she is voice-activated, and she was already fascinated by Qiongqing's voice, but what Qiongqing said just now made her mind sway, and she almost couldn't control the incipient emotion.
After Qiongqing finished his breakfast, Mo Dai planned to go to the asylum with him to find out about the situation. After all, it was Mu Qianche's savior who asked her to do it, and she couldn't let it go.
At Chen Shi, a carriage drove up to the Xianlaiju Restaurant, and Zhao Yingzi, who was dressed in black and wearing a black gauze hat, jumped off the carriage and strode into the restaurant. At this time, Mo Dai and Qiong Qing were coming down from the guest room on the third floor, also wearing black gauze hats.
Zhao Yingzi recognized Mo Dai at a glance, and walked down the stairs in two or three steps, not at all throwing up to the little mistress who came to greet her, her eyes shining behind the black veil, and the smile on her lips widened.
When Mo Dai was still three steps away from her, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled Modai into her arms to hug her: "Xiao Dai Dai, I finally see you again!"
Mo Dai had seen Zhao Yingzi a long time ago. Although she didn't expect her to hug her so shamelessly in the lobby, she was not too surprised. Qiongqing had seen Zhao Yingzi's various perverted behaviors before. It's not surprising that you come back.
However, Li Xianlai, the treasurer of Xianlaiju, was stunned by Zhao Yingzi's actions, and with a look of being struck by lightning, he secretly guessed the relationship between Modai and this mysterious woman. And the guests enjoying breakfast in the lobby also looked at Zhao Yingzi and Modai one after another, either they were frightened, or their thoughts were ambiguous and dirty.
Mo Dai pushed Zhao Yingzi away, glared at her, and growled: "You are shameless, I want more!"
Zhao Yingzi glanced at the people in the lobby. She was full of aura, and if she leaked a little from the side, it would have a deterrent effect. The people who had stretched their necks to look at her immediately lowered their heads and ate breakfast without squinting.
Zhao Yingzi raised her eyebrows proudly at Mo Dai, and then said: "Go, today I invite you to my house as a guest!"
"Not today, I have something to do." Modai directly refused.
"What is more important than my invitation?" Zhao Yingzi was unconvinced, "Then I will go to work with you first, and then you will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me after finishing the work!"
"Master Zhao, you are really free."
"For you, I'm taking a break from my busy schedule, let's go!"
Zhao Yingzi pulled Mo Dai and walked out, but Mo Dai turned her head to look at Qiongqing, wondering in her heart, didn't Zhao Yingzi admire Qiongqing in the past? Why didn't you even look at it today? Of course, Qiongqing is her husband-in-law now, and if Zhao Yingzi still has the frivolous and wretched eyes as before, she will be the first to let her go!
In the carriage, Mo Dai and Qiongqing sat on one side, and Zhao Yingzi sat on the other, Qiongqing suddenly bowed his head to Zhao Yingzi and saluted: "Thank you Commander Zhao!"
"Your Highness, why did you say that? Have I done anything to make you thank me?" Zhao Yingzi took off her hat and put it aside, she still had that wicked smile, but she addressed Qiongqing in a more serious manner. , no longer call him "Xiaoqing'er" as before.
Qiongqing smiled, and his impression of Zhao Yingzi improved a little.
Mo Dai is also satisfied with Zhao Yingzi's wit and interest.
The carriage drove to the gate of the asylum, and Modai knocked on the door. Since it was daytime, she didn't knock out a set of codes and imitate a shocking kitten meow like Chen did that night.
Sure enough, not long after knocking on the door, Yu Gui came to open the door for her. He was very happy after seeing Mo Dai and Qiong Qing, but when he saw Zhao Yingzi and Lie again, his smile became a little stiff: "Miss Mo, what's the matter?" yes?"
"They are my friends, people from the imperial capital. I want to take them to see the asylum. Maybe there will be a care for them in the future." Modai said with a smile.
When Yu Gui heard this, he immediately beamed with joy: "Really? Then please come in quickly!"
Zhao Yingzi and Lie followed Mo Dai and Qiong Qing into the yard, looked around the yard, and suddenly felt that what Mo Dai just said about "there is a care" was actually a trap for her.
Yu Gui walked to the main house and shouted inside: "Children, your sister Mo is here!"
After the sound, the children ran out of the main house with a whoosh, and bowed to Mo Dai and Qiongqing in two rows from tall to short: "Hello, Sister Mo! Hello, Big Brother!"
Mo Dai was taken aback by such a battle, and couldn't help but look at Yu Gui, but seeing him dodging his eyes, with an unnatural expression on his face, there was nothing they could do, Chen entrusted them to Mo Dai, if they didn't try their best To please Mo Dai, maybe he will have to rely on the savings left by Chen in the future.
Zhao Yingzi looked at the children, then looked at Mo Dai with a smile that was not a smile, and whispered: "Xiao Daidai, you are so kind, you have taken in these homeless children just after arriving in the Imperial Capital, it is really my Da Yue Dynasty role model!"
"Hehe, why, I have to rely on Mr. Zhao in the future!"
"Hey, although I understand that you are pushing a hot potato towards me, as a servant, how can I not accept it? Don't worry, I will do whatever you tell me to do, and I will definitely satisfy you!"
"Zhao Yingzi, you are really loyal!" Mo Dai gave Zhao Yingzi a thumbs up without hesitation, Zhao Yingzi is so beautiful in her heart!
Next, Qiongqing followed the children to learn how to weave bamboo baskets, and stood guard at the door, while Mo Dai and Zhao Yingzi checked the yard inside and out.
At noon, Modai and the others had dinner with the children. Lunch is still made by Yu Gui and the older children. Brown rice with sweet potatoes, more sweet potatoes and less rice grains, a pot of shredded pickles, a pot of fried Chinese cabbage with pork fat, and a big bucket of clear soup with thinly shredded eggs. This is to beat one or two eggs in a large bucket of water.
It's not that Zhao Yingzi and Lie have never experienced hardships, but they still have some maladjustment to such a clear meal with little water, and Qiongqing's eyes are red again, and he keeps asking himself in his heart, what can he do to help these children?
Before leaving, Mo Dai took out two hundred taels of silver and handed it over to Yu Gui, asking him to provide extra meals for the children in the next few days. Zhao Yingzi also wanted to pay, but was stopped by Mo Dai, because she would spend money in the future.
On the way back, Mo Dai told Zhao Yingzi her thoughts. Right now, the children's accommodation and food conditions are too poor. It is best to build a large-scale shelter. Considering the expensive land of the Imperial Capital, it can be built in the countryside outside the city. The place is large and the children have a lot of room to move around. It is also necessary to find a teacher to teach the children some basic survival skills, such as embroidery, cooking, and arithmetic literacy.
Mo Dai looked at Zhao Yingzi and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to drop your armor and return to the field? If you really don't want to be an official anymore, you can be the dean of the asylum, responsible for the children's daily life, education and education. You have plenty of money Right? Even if you don’t have one, you can ask the Holy Majesty for an imperial decree, and in the name of charitable relief, you can ask those wealthy businessmen for funding, how about it, are you interested?”
Zhao Yingzi raised her eyebrows, and a look of narrowness flashed in her eyes: "I can't get rid of my official position right now, and an asylum of the above scale can't be realized for a while, but I can take care of those children for you, feed them and clothe them warmly, You can send someone to teach them the skills, you want to go home early to meet your husbands!"
Mode smiled: "Thank you so much!"
"Don't be polite with me, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you don't get drunk today, you won't come home!" Zhao Yingzi clenched her fists.
"Okay, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home!" Mo Dai also clenched her fists and touched Zhao Yingzi lightly, this is a bosom friend.
When she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Yingzi found that there were many carriages parked in front of the door, one of which was extremely luxurious, more than twice the size of her own carriage, and it was driven by two horses.
Zhao Yingzi immediately understood who it was, and gave a cold snort, not taking it seriously.
Zhao Yingzi led Mo Dai and Qiongqing into the mansion, walked through the winding corridors towards the courtyard where she lived.
Zhao Yingzi was very excited, chatting with Modai while walking, she talked the most, and Modai just listened and occasionally responded.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is several times larger than the house where Mo Dai lived in Luling Town, and there are many water pavilions and pavilions inside. The overall view is very grand and elegant.
The weather is still cold now, except for some bonsai kept in the house, there are not many green scenes in the mansion. Looking around, it seems that the vision is much wider. Mo Dai glanced casually, and saw several people walking and chatting in another corridor, the two people walking in front, Mo Dai knew, one was Lu Yun from the Lu family, and the other was Lu Yun's husband Zhao Yantian, the younger brother of Zhao Yingzi.
Mo Dai immediately looked away, it was the first month of the month, Zhao Yantian came to her mother's house is the most normal, nothing unexpected.
Zhao Yingzi also noticed Lu Yun's gang, her brows were frowned, and the cold snort sounded again.
"Xiao Daidai, let's move faster, so as not to bump into those people!" Zhao Yingzi said.
Mo Dai nodded, and pulled Qiongqing to quickly follow behind Zhao Yingzi. Except for Qiong Qing who was still wearing a black gauze hat, Zhao Yingzi and Mo Dai had already taken off their hats and put them in the carriage.
However, even though Zhao Yingzi, Modai and Qiongqing had walked a good distance ahead, Lu Yun, who had no eyesight, caught up with Zhao Yingzi and talked to her.
Zhao Yingzi turned around impatiently and waited for Lu Yun and Zhao Yantian: "My friend and I are going to get together, where are you going, don't bother us!"
Zhao Yantian got angry when he heard this, his pretty brows frowned, and just about to refute Zhao Yingzi, when he suddenly discovered the existence of Modai, he couldn't help being stunned, his face was cloudy and uncertain. Lu Yun noticed Zhao Yantian's strangeness, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Yantian, what's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable again?"
Zhao Yantian didn't respond, his eyes fixed on Modai.
At this time, one of the people brought by Lu Yun suddenly said in surprise, "Mo Daxi? Sister, is that you?"
Mo Dai heard that voice very familiar, followed the voice and aimed at the back of Lu Yun, and couldn't help being startled, Shi Lan?
