There is a strange smell in the ruined temple, including mold, uncollected garbage, beggars' feces and urine, and the rancid smell of the leftovers that are coming. Ah Huan and Ah Ruo almost vomited as soon as they came in. If it weren't for Zhu Kongshan's sharp gaze, they would have turned around and left. They never wanted to come to a place like this in their entire lives. Besides Zhu Kongshan's threatening gaze, he was also not idle with his words. He lowered his voice and said, "If you walk out of this door today, I guarantee that the people from Prince Sheng's Mansion will beat you out with sticks at night. Don't forget My identity is just that of a servant. If I were to lose my master’s family, I would soon end up here.”
The two maids were really angry at Zhu Kongshan, but Zhu Kongshan had the eighth prince as his backer and a noble aunt in the palace. Even if they wanted to make a mistake, they had no confidence. Recently, I have been thinking about sending a message to the eldest lady and eldest lady in Pengzhou. Unfortunately, Prince Sheng's Mansion is heavily guarded. They are monitored wherever they go, and it is impossible to sneak out of the mansion. Even if they follow Zhu Kongshan out of the mansion now, the carriage driver who brings them here is not an ordinary coachman, but a guard from Prince Sheng's palace, euphemistically called Miss Protector Biao. Under this kind of pressure, no matter how much they were reluctant, they had to listen to Zhu Kongshan's words, so as not to offend her and sue them to the Eighth Prince, which would be really fatal. Now they just hope that the matters in Beijing will be settled quickly and they can return to Pengzhou as soon as possible. As for what the eldest lady told them about taking the opportunity to rise to power when they arrived, the two of them now don't want to think about it anymore.
Three distinctive characters suddenly came into the ruined temple. The beggars who had not gone out to ask for anything were a little dazed for a while. They couldn't understand why such a well-dressed lady came here. Even if you want to buy labor, you should go to the labor market, right?
Zhu Kongshan was used to it. Seeing the confused and timid looks of these beggars, she took the initiative to take a few steps forward, looked around, and finally bent down and half-crouched down in front of a little beggar and spoke. He said softly: "Little brother, do you still recognize me?"
The little beggar looked at her for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Is it you? Are you the cousin of His Highness the Eighth Prince?" He recognized the person, "That day you came into the city, helped me, and gave me back Give me my money." This was clearly the child who was supported by Zhu Kongshan at the door of the embroidery shop that day. He looked at Zhu Kongshan and said very puzzledly, "Miss, why are you here? This place is too dirty and is not the place you should be."
Zhu Kongshan didn't say anything, just shook his head, took the handkerchief he carried with him and wiped the corners of the little beggar's lips a few times. The little beggar was eating, which was half a dirty piece of broken cake. When he saw Zhu Kongshan wiping his mouth, he was so frightened that he hid back: "I can't do it, I can't do it. One of the lady's handkerchiefs is worth more than my life. It must not get dirty."
Zhu Kongshan sighed: "What are you afraid of? I'm not a bad person. No matter what you thought of His Highness the Eighth Prince in the past, I came from Pengzhou. Although I am his cousin, I have never had any contact with him. . I came to the capital to visit my aunt in the palace, but I don’t know what my cousin did in the past to make the people in the capital dislike him. But this is me, and I never thought of myself as superior when I was in Pengzhou. My dear ladies, you won’t be able to do it now that you’re in Beijing. You don’t have to be afraid of me. You don’t have to be afraid of me. Since I can help you clean the corners of your mouth, I have no intention of worrying about this scarf.” She is already pretty. The voice was soft and sweet, and the distance between people was so close. The beggars in this temple suddenly felt as if a spring breeze was caressing their faces, and they felt so comfortable.
The little beggar didn't understand her words, but he knew that the lady meant no harm, so he stopped retreating and just stared at her.
Zhu Kongshan said again: "That's how I am. I can't bear to see that there are so many people in the world who are not living well. For me, everyone should be equal. You can't be judged just because you are poor. Look at each other differently, even fight with each other. When I was in Pengzhou, I told the beggars in Pengzhou that I, Zhu Kongshan, have never looked down on anyone. They are all Dashun people. You can't do it because of poverty. I feel inferior to others. I give them winter clothes, give them porridge and rice, and encourage them to use their own strength to do work. Even a few copper coins are earned with strength, and they will not reach out to others for it. Still. That said, now that I have arrived in the capital, I will treat you the same as I treat the beggars in Pengzhou. I will not treat you differently. Winter is coming soon, and the weather is getting colder and colder day by day. I came here today just to make statistics. There are so many people in the north of the city who need help. I am a little girl. Although I cannot solve the livelihood of all of you, at least I can give you a winter coat so that you will not freeze in the winter. This can still be done."
"Winter clothes?" When the beggars heard this, they immediately became energetic and gathered around. "Do you really mean what you said? Are you really going to give us winter clothes? No money?"
Zhu Kongshan nodded, not frowning at all because of the serious drop in air quality as the beggars gathered around him. Instead, he smiled and said to them: "Of course it's true, one person per person, no one can Less."
"But that requires a lot of money." The little beggar was a little worried for her, "Miss, it really needs a lot of money, you have to think about it, so much money is no joke."
"What are you afraid of!" She rubbed the little beggar's head and said, "Even if my sister doesn't have enough money, doesn't there still be Prince Sheng's Mansion? I don't care what the Eighth Prince did to make you unhappy, but now I'm here. You can still get some money from him." As she spoke, she looked around, and then said: "Maybe there are not all people today, so when you wait until there are all people, count how many men there are, how many women there are, little How many children do you have? Or just don’t go out early tomorrow morning and wait for me here. I will come over early and bring a tailor to tailor your clothes."
Her decision made the beggars cheer. They may not think much of it in spring, summer and autumn, but it will be fatal when winter comes. What winter doesn’t kill people? Some people chatted warmly to you before going to bed, and then died when they woke up. They didn't bury them, so they could only throw the bodies outside the temple, wait for the officers and soldiers to see them, take them away, and throw them into graves outside. Now someone said that they would make winter clothes for them. Of course people are happy. This means that they no longer have to suffer from the cold in winter and no one will freeze to death. For a time, the eighth prince's cousin's status in the hearts of these beggars rose rapidly.
Zhu Kongshan felt that this was not enough. She looked at the temple, turned to Aruo and said, "Go to the place selling window paper now and ask them to send a guy over to figure out what's inside this broken temple. How many windows are there in total? Replace all the window paper. Remember to replace it with thicker ones. They can't break when blown and leak air everywhere like now."
As soon as Aruo heard that she could go out to run errands, she quickly agreed and left in a hurry. She could finally breathe a breath of fresh air, and she was happy even if it was just running errands.
"Ah Huan." Zhu Kongshan continued to give instructions, "Go find the carpenters and ask them to install a door in this ruined temple. With such a big hole open, no matter how thick the winter clothes are, Night, I can't resist it at night." Ah Huan left in response, while Zhu Kongshan looked around the ruined temple again with a worried look on his face, and said helplessly: "I really want to move you all out of here, but A winter coat is a small thing, but I really can't do anything to move so many people. Don't blame me, just stay here for now. At least I will help people repair the place that needs to be repaired, and I will never let you be exposed to the wind again. Rain."
Her words were so sincere that some female beggars wiped away tears and kept calling the female Bodhisattva.
Zhu Kongshan felt very happy, but he kept saying: "No, you must not call me that. I just do what I want to do. I just don't want to see the poor suffer. Your lives should be the same as ours." It’s the same.”
Soon, the two maids brought over the window paper seller and the door repairman respectively. She paid the check on the spot and picked out the thickest window paper and the best wood. The two maids were stunned to see that Praise her for being really kind-hearted.
Zhu Kongshan did not use all of her tricks. She walked out of the ruined temple and got two brooms from nowhere. She handed one to each of Aruo and Ahuan, then pointed to the ruined temple and said: " When you two came to Beijing that day, you made bad remarks and threw coins to tease the people. Please make up for those mistakes today!"
The two girls were stunned on the spot, not understanding what Zhu Kongshan meant. She then explained: "Don't you understand? I'm asking you to clean this temple, clear out all the garbage, and then transport it away. It must not be piled up in the temple again."
Where have Ah Huan and Ah Ruo ever done such an errand? Even before I climbed to the position of a first-class girl, I was just sweeping the eldest lady's yard. The yards of wealthy families are so clean. At most, there are only leaves and petals falling to the ground, but now this...
Zhu Kongshan knew that the two of them would not be happy, but he gave him a look with warning and threat, so that the two of them had no choice but to obey. No matter how unhappy he was, he had no choice but to accept his fate and start cleaning. However, the guard outside also walked in and stood beside Zhu Kongshan, clearly supporting her.
The eighth prince’s cousin made winter clothes for beggars in the north of the city, repaired a dilapidated temple, and asked the maids to apologize and clean the clothes before they were finished. Such deeds had already spread, not only to Xuan Tianmo of Prince Sheng’s Mansion The news reached the ears of Yuan Guiren in the palace.
Yuan Guiren was so happy that she couldn't help but feel that it was really wise to ask this niece to come to the capital. She even felt that if her son was with such a woman in the future, she would be able to truly feel at ease. .
Xuan Tianmo was more practical and asked the accountant to allocate more silver to Zhu Kongshan for her use. He also asked people to make a lot of clothes for her and gave her a lot of jewelry. Before a group of people who went to Pengzhou came back, another group of people were sent over, and the things they sent were even more precious than the last time.
Zhu Kongshan is not very interested in the clothes and jewelry given by Xuan Tianmo. In the final analysis, these are not what she wants, but she is a smart person. At this time, let alone mentioning it, even thinking about her will not allow him to think too much. think. If she wants to be a useful person, she must be able to do useful things. She must make herself more helpful to Xuan Tianmo, so that she can gain a firm foothold in Prince Sheng's Mansion and the capital, and only then can she become a useful person. Have the capital to allow Yuangui people to fulfill their promises in the future.
She put away her clothes for the time being. She didn't wear any that were too luxurious, and only picked out a few relatively low-key ones for her use. As for those jewelry, she has better arrangements...
