Chapter 129 Moved
People kept greeting them on the road. It was unlike their own orphanage, which was so cold and unruly. When they reached the end, the woman in charge distributed the women and children who were going to live there to other managers.
The little girl waved at Zhao He and said with a smile: "Goodbye, brother~"
Zhao He smiled in response. Before he could come to his senses, he heard the woman say, "I also heard your doubts just now. You asked why they didn't resist."
The woman chuckled, with a hint of sadness in her tone, "Officials have power, and the little bastards under their control also have power. If the people want to resist, how can they resist? Revolt and cause trouble? Wouldn't that turn them from refugees into rebels?"
"Tell the prefect? If the offending official is replaced, will the new official be nice to them? He might even become more rampant. If so, what will the refugees do? Therefore, everyone thought that since they have already arrived in a foreign land, they should just endure it."
After listening to this, Zhao He fell silent.
"Now that you have finished your tour, sir, would you like to donate some silver to us?"
The woman asked, this was what their master had instructed, that if there were young ladies or young men from high-ranking officials' families coming, after making sure they would not cause trouble, they could generously let them in to visit, and then tell the young men and women some real events, and then ask if they wanted to donate silver.
Zhao He silently wanted to take out some silver from his arms, but he felt his chest and found nothing. He turned his head to look at Pei Yuan who had been following him.
Pei Yuan took out a small bag of silver with a cold face and handed it to the woman.
The woman accepted it with a smile, muttering, "Miss, your idea is really useful. Now someone will send money to your door."
The mumbling naturally reached the ears of the two. Zhao He's face was calm, as if she didn't hear it, while Pei Yuan looked at her with a face as cold as an iceberg.
The woman said to them, "If you have nothing else to do, you should be leaving soon. We are all women and children here, so it is not convenient for us to receive you two. But don't worry, your donation will be hung on the wall outside the courtyard for the world to see. So, please leave your name for us to post outside."
……
Girls.
Zhao He took the words he overheard to heart, and wondered who it was. After thinking about it, a name emerged in his mind.
I walked to Guo Xin's mall unconsciously, and saw that it was still so crowded with people. My original contempt for it began to waver.
This time he did not go in through the side door, but went through the door that the common people used, and he could hear the people's praises constantly.
Standing outside the door of the familiar private room, he hesitated for a long time, and finally knocked on the door.
"Who?" A familiar female voice sounded.
"Xin'er, let me go take a look."
When Guo Ruo opened the door, the first person he saw was Pei Yuan behind Zhao He, and then Zhao He.
"Sixth Master? Please come in." Guo Ruo made way for Zhao He.
Seeing Pei Yuan standing motionless outside the door and showing no sign of going in, he walked outside and left the door ajar to prevent outsiders from saying that Xin'er was alone in a room with someone else.
"Pei Yuan, are you okay with your injury?" Guo Ruo asked, staring at Pei Yuan's arm.
When Pei Yuan heard this, his eyebrows raised and his eyes were a little flustered. He had long forgotten that he had a wound, and that wound was made up by himself. He stammered, "My wound has healed a long time ago. After all, I am a martial artist, and getting injured is a common thing."
After hearing this, Guo Ruo became even more worried and asked, "Can you still move as usual with your injury?"
Pei Yuan looked at the space outside the door and saw that it was still relatively empty, so he performed a few moves to prove that he had really recovered.
"But even though you are a martial artist and Sixth Master's personal bodyguard, you can't ignore your own body. After all, your body and hair are given by your parents, so how can you not take good care of them?" Guo Ruo said, with a tone of blame that he himself was not aware of.
"It's okay. I asked someone to check it out. My body is very strong. It's considered the best among my peers. They said I can live to be a hundred years old in good health."
Guo Ruo didn't say anything, but looked into Pei Yuan's eyes, trying to see something from his eyes.
Pei Yuan originally wanted to look away. After all, Guo Ruo was still a virgin, and staring at her was against etiquette.
But for some reason, once his eyes touched Guo Ruo, it was as if there was a strong fish bladder glue sticking to his eyes, and he could not look anywhere else.
When our eyes met, it seemed as if something indescribable was heating up.
……
"Sixth Master, what east wind brings you to my dilapidated temple again?" Guo Xin looked up at Zhao He who sat down by himself, and said lazily.
"This is not a dilapidated temple. When I came up, I saw that the mall was crowded with people and business was very lively. I was wrong before." Zhao He seemed not to hear the deep meaning of Guo Xin's words and answered based on the implication of the words.
Guo Xin laughed and looked at Zhao He, wanting to see what tricks he was going to play.
"But I am not here for the mall, but for your Salesian Home."
Guo Xin looked at him suddenly. She had told no one about the matter of the orphanage except Su Zhizhou. If anyone wanted to reveal the matter, it would be her subordinates. But they were all very tight-lipped and would not say anything.
She was determined not to let anyone know about the orphanage. After all, her grandfather had joined the fight for the throne. It would be bad if the orphanage became a target of the fight for the throne. So she thought of doing this quietly.
"Miss Guo, don't worry. No one told me about this. I guessed it myself. I just want to know why you want to run a salesian home that mainly caters to women and children. Aren't you worried that the salesian home will be called a brothel?"
Guo Xin's orphanage is completely different from his orphanage, but his orphanage has now come to this point. If we break it down, he has an unshirkable responsibility.
Seeing that this was the question, Guo Xin smiled brightly and said, "Some things always have to be done by someone, right?"
"The court is now in chaos from top to bottom, and countless people are dying of starvation and cold. Men are still a little better off, as they can support themselves with their own strength. But who cares about women? Just looking at the refugees today, I think you should know the plight of women, right?"
"As a woman, I want to do something for them, no matter how small the situation. I hope to save as many people as possible."
Zhao He looked at Guo Xin in front of him, and the seeds that had been planted before seemed to slowly take root and sprout. His original contempt for Guo Xin slowly disappeared, and was replaced by an indescribable emotion, either respect or shock...
