Nangong Yue casually threw her purse on the desk and said with a smile: "You guys have a chance to see me, take it and buy some snacks."
Huamei thanked him jokingly: "Those servants are already in the favor of the Crown Princess and Sister Baihui."
As she spoke, she opened her purse, weighed the pieces of silver, and said with a smile: "Prince Concubine, Sister Baihui, Boss Jin is quite generous. Isn't this at least two taels of silver?" It is enough for ordinary people to eat for a year.
Quie'er smiled and said: "Our sister Baihui is the first person beside the Crown Princess, so two taels of silver are nothing!" Huamei and Ying'er both laughed.
The maids were laughing and making a fuss.
Huamei proudly ran out and bought a lot of snacks, and all the maids in the yard were interested. Nangong Yue also rewarded her with a few boxes of snacks, and it was as lively as a festival.
Baihui has always done things well, and only two days later, she brought some news about Qianjintang.
The owner of Qianjintang, whose surname is Jin, opened this pharmacy in Luoyue City five years ago.
Because he had a skilled pharmaceutical master and an old doctor with superb medical skills, he quickly established a foothold in Luoyue City. Boss Jin is good at charity. He provides medical care and medicines every year, and has also helped many elderly and children. He has a good reputation. When neighbors mention Qianjintang, they are full of praise.
"Does this mean that Boss Jin is a good person?" Nangong Yue asked.
"Yes. Crown Princess." Baihui replied, and then asked, "What do you think is wrong?"
"It seems that there is nothing unusual for the time being." Nangong Yue said thoughtfully, "It's just that the pharmaceutical issue is of great importance, not to mention..." She lowered her eyes slightly, changed the subject, and said, "Baihui, you will come back tomorrow. Go to Qianjin Hall and give me a break..."
Baihui wrote it down carefully.
The three-day deadline passed in a hurry. Because it was an urgent order, Lijia Pharmacy, Huichun Hall and Deji Hall did not dare to neglect. They worked day and night and finally made more than 3,000 pills each. After Baihui brought the pills back, Nangong Yue carefully checked them one by one, and asked Zhu Xing and Zhou Dacheng to take them to the Luoyue City camp and hand them over to Tian He. As before, they would be sent to the battle in Tian He's name.
After instructing three drug stores to continue making the remaining pills, Nangong Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then it was time to make an appointment with Xiao Fei to go to the shantang.
"This lady, girl, please come in."
The person who manages the charity is an old woman named Fu who is in her fifties. She wears a half-worn purple jacket, her gray hair is neatly combed into a bun, and she has a round face. He smiled very kindly.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei followed Aunt Fu into the charity hall.
This charity hall is a courtyard with two entrances. The place is quite large, but the location is a bit remote. After the old King of Zhennan drove the Nanman people out of the country, he built this charity hall to house some orphans who had no parents or relatives.
These orphans will learn some skills to make a living in the shantang. When they are fifteen years old, they need to leave the shantang to make a living on their own. Of course, some orphans simply stay in the shantang to do odd jobs.
Decades have passed, and the number of orphans in the charity has been reduced by half compared to the past. Most of the orphans in the charity now are abandoned baby girls and some disabled children.
In those days, boys were more likely to be given priority over girls. Even if a wealthy family gave birth to more daughters, it would only mean a few more people in the family. They would not be short of food, but ordinary people could barely feed themselves. As a result, people often drowned baby girls and abandoned them. Baby girls, after the charity hall was established, some people threw baby girls at the door from time to time, but these baby girls saved their lives...
The Shantang has been able to support itself for so many years mainly because of the money allocated by the Luoyue City Government Office every year. On weekdays, some wealthy people would come to donate some property, clothing, food and so on from time to time.
This nanny Fu has been in charge of the charity hall for many years and is very used to receiving ladies and girls from various houses. While taking Nangong Yue and the two to visit the environment of the charity hall, she talked about the plight of these children and also From time to time, he answered questions from Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei.
The empty courtyard looked a bit old and desolate because it had not been properly repaired for many years. The sound of children reading loudly came from the front, adding a bit of vitality to the originally quiet charity hall.
"Mrs. Xiao, Miss Xiao, the children will read for an hour every morning and afternoon. The girls will learn some sewing and cooking skills in the afternoon, while the boys will learn some carpentry and arithmetic, which can be regarded as giving them skills in the future. "Nanny Fu led the two of them towards the school.
Xiao Fei said in agreement: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish."
Nanny Fu smiled: "That's what the old prince said when he built the Shantang. He said that every child should at least learn the Three Character Classic. In the future, if nothing else, he could always write a letter to his family or something. , it doesn’t matter if the handwriting is ugly, as long as others recognize it..."
Of course this was not the first time Xiao Fei mentioned her deceased grandfather from others, but the respect in Mammy Fu's words came from the heart, which was particularly touching.
The school was transformed from a hall. Fans on all sides were opened, and the inside was clearly visible. The children were shaking their heads one by one and chanting: "... One makes ten, ten makes hundreds. One hundred makes thousands, and thousands makes ten thousand. Three talents Those who are heaven, earth and people. The three lights are the sun, moon and stars..."
Looking at their concentration, they seem to be no different from ordinary children.
Xiao Fei looked at them intently for a while, then turned to face Grandma Fu and said, "Mother Fu, my sister-in-law and I specially brought some books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones today, and we want to donate them to the charity..."
When Grandma Fu heard this, she was overjoyed.
The price of books is very expensive. Places like Shantang can barely provide food and clothing for children, but books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones are relatively luxurious things. They can only rely on charity from some kind-hearted people occasionally. On weekdays, children Most of them used branches to draw on the sand, or used charcoal as a pen to write on wood chips...
"Thank you, Miss Xiao." Aunt Fu thanked Xiao Fei repeatedly. Looking at her sincere expression, it was obvious that she sincerely cared about the children here.
"Aunt Fu, is there a study here? Can you take me there to have a look?" Xiao Fei said again, thinking to herself, it would be best to see what is missing in the study here first, and then consider whether she can do her best. We strive to make the environment for children to study better.
Nanny Fu was naturally in a hurry to respond and bowed to make a petition: "Miss Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, please go this way..."
Under the leadership of Nanny Fu, the group continued to walk forward when they heard a commotion coming from a side hall in front of them. Following the sound, they could see through the open windows that there were many people inside. There are people and a few children, most of whom are no more than three or four years old.
Grandma Fu hurriedly explained: "Boss Jin from Qianjin Hall in the city specially brought a doctor to give free medical consultation to the children." As she said that, Grandma Fu stopped by a window in the side hall and looked at it with a smile. The hall continued, "Boss Jin and the others came early in the morning and have been busy all morning. They also said that they would come every month to help the children with medical treatment and medication. He is really a great benevolent person."
Qian Jin Tang? Nangong Yue looked in that direction.
In the side hall, an old man with gray hair and beard was checking the pulse of a boy about three years old. The boy was held in the arms of a woman, who seemed a little uneasy. The woman comforted him softly.
Other children formed a crooked line next to them. A middle-aged man in a brocade robe was handing out sesame candies to the children. The sweet sesame candies made the children smile with joy. His black eyes smiled into crescent moons.
The children's smiles have the power to infect people's hearts. Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei couldn't help but smile slightly.
Baihui walked to Nangong Yue and whispered something in her ear.
This person is none other than Boss Jin from Qianjintang!
Nangong Yue nodded calmly and focused on the children in the side hall. She heard Nanny Fu saying with emotion: "...I heard that Qianjintang often helped those poor people in the past. Reducing or exempting drug fees, donating medicines to doctors, and having more drug dealers like Boss Jin are also a blessing for our people."
Before she finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of messy footsteps in front of her, and a woman in Tsing Yi hurried over, shouting out of breath: "Mom, can the charity house accept children? A child is injured!"
Behind the mother-in-law, a middle-aged man wearing a coarse cloth was holding a five or six-year-old little girl. The little girl had yellow and thin hair, ragged clothes, and a small face, hands and feet that were all gray. , dirty, looking like a little beggar, her hands and legs were twisted at a weird angle.
Nangong Yue frowned, and she could tell at a glance that the bones in the child's hands and feet were broken. What happened to cause such injuries? Her eyes continued to move up and fell on the little girl's dirty cheeks. She was breathing weakly and her lips were so white that there was no trace of blood. She seemed to be dying.
Nanny Fu no longer bothered to greet Nangong Yue and the others, she hurriedly greeted her and said with worry in her eyes: "What's wrong with this girl?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly explained: "Auntie, I picked up this female doll in a small forest outside Luoyue City. There was no one around at the time... I didn't have money to send her to see a doctor... …”
The mother-in-law couldn't wait to say: "I think it must be someone who abducted a child, broke off his hands and feet to beg for money, and saw that the child was sick and didn't want to be treated, so he threw it away. What a sin!" The mother-in-law became more and more angry as she talked. , with an angry look on his face.
Xiao Fei on the side shrank her pupils in disbelief, also showing anger.
"Nanny Fu, let me..."
Nangong Yue was about to step forward to check the little girl's injuries when a figure suddenly strode out of the side hall and rushed straight to the little girl.
"What's wrong with this child? Is he okay?" The other party looked at the weak little girl worriedly, and then said to the middle-aged man, "Quick, quick, come with me! I have a doctor here." He She eagerly called the middle-aged man into the side hall, and Grandma Fu and her mother-in-law hurriedly followed.
Through the open window sash, you can see them carefully placing the little **** a long table. In contrast to the large red lacquered wood table, the child is obviously so weak and petite, as fragile as Like a pitiful kitten.
"In this bright world, there is such a thing!" Xiao Fei said angrily from the side, staring at the little girl worriedly, "Sister-in-law, will the child be okay?"
Nangong Yue's expression was a little inexplicable, and she said: "Sister Fei, she will be fine. ... This child suffered a trauma, and it was discovered in time. Although it will take several months to raise her, she is still young after all. They are still young, and as long as they are raised well, it will not affect their future."
The old doctor Yu with gray hair and beard was carefully checking the little girl's hands and feet... When he touched the painful spot, a lot of cold sweat oozed from the little girl's forehead, and she moaned in pain.
The old doctor's hands and feet were very fast, and he skillfully connected the little girl's bones, cleaned the skin at the broken bone, applied medicine, and fixed the broken bone with wooden boards and white cloth strips.
Nangong Yue watched carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw his skill in setting bones.
Xiao Fei said with indignation: "Sister-in-law, these kidnappers are really hateful! If this child's biological parents knew that she had suffered such a big crime, how heartbroken they would be. Fortunately, this child was lucky enough to meet her. Kind-hearted people..." Finally saved a life.
At this time, the old doctor Yu treated the little girl's injury, turned around and said a few words to Boss Jin and Aunt Fu, and then followed by Aunt Fu and took Boss Jin and Old Doctor Yu out of the side hall. Walked out.
As the old doctor walked away, he said to grandma: "Don't move the child for the time being. If the injury gets worse, it will be troublesome. There is no need to change the dressing tonight. I will come to see her tomorrow."
Nanny Fu was in a hurry to respond.
Boss Jin followed: "Nanny Fu, don't worry, I will bring Dr. Yu over every day to check on this child every day in the past few days. The child is still young and the wound will be healed."
"Thank you so much for your hard work, Boss Jin." Mother Fu thanked her repeatedly and sighed with emotion, "Boss Jin is such a kind person."
"Mama Fu, you deserve the award. I'm just trying my best." Boss Jin smiled and said, "Mama Fu, you still have guests, so there's no need to see them off."
He hugged Grandma Fu politely, and then left with Old Doctor Yu.
Nanny Fu watched the two of them go away, then she remembered Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei, turned around apologetically and said, "Mrs. Xiao, Miss Xiao, you were really negligent just now. I hope you two won't take offense."
"Nanny Fu, you're welcome. Since she has something to do, we won't bother you." Nangong Yue said goodbye knowingly.
Nanny Fu said no again and personally escorted the two of them to the entrance of the charity hall.
After getting on the carriage, the smile on Nangong Yue's face faded.
Previously, she had asked Baihui to deliberately spread the word that she would come to Shantang today. Regardless of whether the boss of Qianjintang really wanted to do business with her or had other purposes, he would probably come over to meet him by chance, and she wanted to take this opportunity to observe him up close.
Boss Jin is indeed here.
But, was the girl with broken arms and legs a coincidence, or...
It's just a coincidence, but if it was deliberately arranged to show kindness, then Boss Jin's intention may not be as simple as doing business.
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes slightly and said thoughtfully: "Baihui, after you return home, arrange for a clever little maid to go to the charity hall to take care of the girl. Send some more rice and noodles."
Baihui responded: "Yes, Crown Princess."
Xiao Fei then asked: "Sister-in-law, can I go over and have a look tomorrow?" As a girl who has not yet left the court, she needs permission from her elders to go out.
Nangong Yue nodded, "Of course."
Xiao Fei smiled, frowning and murmuring to herself: "What should I bring? I wonder if she likes snowflakes..."
The carriage entered Bixiaotang from the East Street gate, and Huamei came up to greet him and said: "Prince Concubine, Mrs. Zhou is here. The servant told her that you are not in the mansion, but she insists on waiting in the concierge. He stayed and refused to leave."
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and thought: "Please Madam Zhou go to the main room, I will go there later."
Huamei Fushen took the order and left. Xiao Fei and Nangong Yue said goodbye and returned to Yuebiju.
Nangong Yue went inside to change her clothes, dress up again, and then went to the main room.
Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Wang, was sitting there awkwardly, looking a little absent-minded. When she saw Nangong Yue coming in, she quickly stood up and said politely: "I have met the imperial concubine."
Nangong Yue raised her hand and said, "With no courtesy, Mrs. Zhou, please sit down."
Nangong Yue sat down on the main seat and said bluntly: "I wonder why Madam Zhou came here today?"
"The Crown Princess." Wang held the handkerchief in both hands and hesitated to speak.
After the Crown Princess left that day, she passed away. When she woke up, her second brother, sister, and daughter had already gone back, and only Sister Jia was staying by her side to take care of her. Mrs. Wang felt that she was really sorry for her daughter. Not only did she allow her daughter to give in again and again, but now she couldn't even keep her daughter's marriage. A mother like her was simply a drag on Sister Jia's son.
Wang could tell that although Sister Jia acted nonchalantly, she still covered up the haggard look on her face with a thick layer of makeup.
The more Sister Jia was like this, the more Wang hated herself, so she finally plucked up the courage to come to Bixiaotang.
Wang gritted her teeth and said bravely, "On that day, the Crown Princess came to visit and asked about my daughter, but was interrupted at that time, so... my daughter has not agreed to anyone yet."
After Wang finished speaking, he looked at Nangong Yue longingly.
Nangong Yue was slightly startled. It had been a long time since she had seen such a...well, such a "simple" person like Wang.
Whether it is the royal capital or southern Xinjiang, any lady from any mansion can reveal three or four meanings in every sentence, unlike the Wang family. Wang's trip was clearly to test whether the Zhennan Palace still intended to marry Zhou Roujia, but she made this "test" too "directly".
Nangong Yue slowly stirred the tea foam with the tea lid. After a while, she put down the tea cup and met Wang's nervous eyes.
"Mrs. Zhou." Nangong Yue spoke in a clear voice, "With all due respect, when it comes to family background, the Zhou family and the Zhennan Palace are not a good match. But Miss Zhou has a strong and gentle temperament. I quite like how he advances and retreats appropriately and acts rationally and orderly."
There was a hint of surprise on Mrs. Wang's face, and she hurriedly said: "The Crown Princess..."
Nangong Yue raised her hand to interrupt her, "It's just that I am satisfied with Miss Zhou, not the Zhou family. But when you get married, you get a good relationship between two families. The Zhou family's family tradition is not correct and the family tradition is not strict. , I, the Prince of Zhennan, really don’t dare to bear it.”
Wang hurriedly defended: "Prince Princess, what happened that day has nothing to do with Sister Jia!"
"It does have nothing to do with Miss Zhou. It would be fine if it were another mansion, but the Zhou family is different..." Nangong Yue said sharply, "How can Madam make me believe that once the Zhou family becomes the in-laws of Zhennan Palace, in the future, We will not implicate our Zhennan Palace because of our unscrupulous behavior."
Nangong Yue did not beat around the bush and said bluntly: "Madam cannot guarantee that although she has the title of Madam of the Zhou family, she cannot be the head of any of the Zhou family."
Wang's face was pale, and Nangong Yue's words were like a wake-up call.
Yes!
If it were another mansion, no matter how close the relationship was, each room would have to be separated sooner or later.
But the Zhou family is different. Although they are divided into the eldest brother and the second brother to the outside world, Wang knows in her heart that the eldest brother is just a vassal and foil of the second brother. The second sibling, Lu, is the head matron of the Zhou family. Therefore, She was able to break in without permission when she was seeing guests, and confuse right and wrong in front of the Crown Princess in front of her. Maybe in their hearts, there is no such thing as a eldest wife, and in their eyes, she is just a humble concubine.
The only blame is that I am too cowardly. I have not been able to support my eldest son and a world for my daughter all these years.
Now, my daughter has lost her life because of her own cowardice...
"...The Crown Princess." Wang's voice couldn't help but add a touch of crying, "What should I do."
Nangong Yue sighed. Although she could appreciate Wang's motherly love, she actually had no right to comment on the Zhou family's private affairs.
However, she does like Miss Zhou a little, and she does have some pity for Wang.
Nangong Yue was silent for a while, then spoke, and gave a reminder: "The so-called two-bedroom house is to inherit the incense of the two houses at the same time and continue the roots of the two houses, not to merge the two houses into one house." The wife of the second son of Prince Nan’s family may not have a high family background, but her family background must be upright.”
After saying that, Nangong Yue served tea to see off the guests.
