Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 221 Shun Fei

Pink House was jointly opened by Song Sanniang and the mother and daughter Jin. On the one hand, it can provide an additional channel for publicity, and on the other hand, it can really help those in need, killing two birds with one stone.

Because we promoted it through Tian Mi Mi in the early stage, many customers came to the store as soon as it opened.

Some of them really need to buy things, some come to watch the fun, and some come to do good deeds.

For example, the wife of the Minister of Rites, Mrs. Liu, who was on good terms with the Jin family, came to buy things with her two daughters. She bought a lot of things at once and donated ten taels to the donation box at the counter of the Pink House.

The accountant at the front desk records the amount. The donation box is together with the account book. Once a kind-hearted lady donates money or clothes, it will be recorded.

A summary will be made every month, and the details of money and clothing expenditures will be clearly listed so that everyone can check at any time and not a penny will be embezzled.

This approach also makes many ladies who come here feel very satisfied, because doing good deeds is one thing, but doing good deeds and knowing exactly where your donations go is another thing.

In the past, there was always a group of little beggars begging on the streets in Xicheng District of Beijing. This year, some people found that these little beggars had disappeared.

So some people asked about those old beggars. Some of them had eyes full of jealousy, some flashed with malice, and some had eyes full of joy, just like Old Man Yu.

Old man Yu scratched his chicken-cooped hair and grinned, revealing a few missing teeth.

"Haha, the little kids don't have to suffer like us. Some kind-hearted people took them away and they are now enjoying a good life."

The person asking the question was curious, "Who took them away? Did they sell them?"

Old Man Yu looked at the man with cloudy eyes and said, "Sell? Who wants these people who are missing limbs and thrown out by their families? Do you want them?" The man was speechless.

At this moment, these little beggars have changed from their previous slovenly appearance to neatly dressed.

They followed the maids in the yard to do handicrafts. Although their hands and feet were disabled, they were all very dedicated. Some made head flowers, some made beaded bracelets, and each of them learned to do it well.

The steward of Miss He's farm sent some fresh fruits and vegetables. She kept some for her husband's family, sent some to her parents' family, and sent the rest here. Song Sanniang accompanied her.

Seeing the two people, the little beggars ran over to greet them. Most of the little beggars were boys, and there were only two girls, but they were sent to the Pink House to live with He.

"Sister He, Sister Song, you are here." Goudan is the healthiest child here.

It was just that he had different eyes, one black and the other blue. This made his family think that he was an unlucky person, so they raised him and threw him away when he was five years old.

The rest of the children also surrounded Song Sanniang and the others. They all had missing limbs. Although they had experienced a lot of hardships, now that their lives were better, they still retained their childish nature.

Seeing the servants carrying fruits and vegetables coming in behind Miss He, they were all drooling.

"Okay, stop looking. Go get it and eat." As soon as Miss He said this, they all ran towards the servant.

Yongle Palace

Concubine Shun stared at the note in her hand for a long time, tears streaming down her beautiful cheeks. She said in a daze, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is. The heaven has failed me, the heaven has failed me."

Seeing her like this, Aunt Gui also started to cry, but she quickly wiped away her tears, grabbed Concubine Shun's hand and said firmly,

"My queen, you have to cheer up. You have been depressed for so long. Now you have to seize this opportunity and strive for the greatest benefit for the Third Prince and the Sixth Princess.

If the Queen Mother hadn't insisted on marrying you to His Majesty, you wouldn't have had this experience, and neither would the Third Prince and the Sixth Princess.

Now I know it's not your fault, but the fault of your bloodline, but you and I both know that it's that person's fault. " As she spoke, Nanny Gui pointed in the direction of the Queen Mother's palace.

"I'm sure His Majesty and the Queen Mother feel guilty about you after wrongly blaming you for so many years. They must also feel bad for neglecting the Third Prince and the Sixth Princess.

It is impossible for you and His Majesty to have children, but you are his cousin, you should strive to become the imperial concubine and let those two compensate the third prince and the sixth princess. "

Yangxindian

The emperor, who was nearly fifty years old, was also looking at the paper. He sighed and put the paper down.

"I and Concubine Shun are so innocent, and my Ping'er and An'er are so innocent." After saying this calmly, he flew into a rage again.

"Why is it so obvious, yet no one in the world knows what the imperial physicians and the people at the Imperial Observatory do?

Why don't you know such a simple thing? I will chop them all off to make amends for my children!"

The old eunuch Huang Gonggong beside him did not bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please don't do this."

After the emperor had vented his anger, he calmed down. He murmured, "Why is it that other people's cousins ​​get married without any problems, but mine does? Could it be that I am really being punished by heaven?"

Eunuch Huang kowtowed even louder. He said, "Oh, my Lord, you can't talk nonsense. That means you and Concubine Shun both have blood from the father-in-law's family. You are blood relatives."

The emperor sighed and said nothing more. At this time, the eunuch outside came to report that Concubine Shun had arrived. The emperor was startled, but soon came to his senses and said, "Call her in."

Although Concubine Shun has dressed up carefully, she is still different from the innocent girl she was back then.

She was about to pay her respects to the emperor, but Eunuch Huang tactfully stopped her and helped her sit down on a chair.

"You know everything?" His Majesty looked at Concubine Shun, who no longer looked like she used to.

"Yes, I understand." Concubine Shun said with a choked throat, trying hard not to let her tears fall.

The emperor sighed, came to her, stood up and held her in his arms, "What a trick of fate! If I had known earlier." He could not say any more after saying this.

Concubine Shun cried in his arms, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the past decade. The emperor was not angry and just let her cry.

When she finally calmed down and tidied her appearance, she asked, "Why did you come here today?"

Concubine Shun held his hand and pleaded, "Cousin, if I didn't know about this, I would just spend the rest of my life with Ping'er and An'er.

However, I can do whatever I want, but I don't want Ping'er and An'er to be wronged. It's me who caused them to be like this.

I want to ask you for a favor, so that after I leave, they can live the rest of their lives well and not be bullied."

The emperor could no longer remember the appearance of Ping'er and An'er. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel even more guilty.

He shook Concubine Shun's hand and said, "Don't worry, I have treated them badly. I will compensate them, and you as well. You have suffered all these years."

Concubine Shun lowered her eyes to hide the mockery in her eyes and pretended to be aggrieved and surprised.
