Chapter 949
There was a strange smell in the dilapidated temple, including mold, garbage that had not been cleaned, the little beggar's shit and urine, and the rotten smell of the leftover food that was coming. Ah Huan and Aruo almost vomited as soon as they came in. If they hadn't been watching Zhu Kongshan's sharp eyes, they would have turned their heads out and would never want to come to such a place in their lives. In addition to the threat of gaze, Zhu Kongshan was not idle in words and said in a low voice: "Today you leave this door, I promise that the people from Prince Sheng's Mansion will beat you out in the evening. Don't forget your identity, you are just servants. If you lose your home, you will soon fall here."
The two maids were so angry at Zhukongshan, but Zhukongshan has an eighth prince as their backer, and there is a noble aunt in the palace. Even if they want to do something wrong, they have no confidence. Recently, they have thought about how to send a letter to the eldest lady and the eldest lady in Pangzhou. Unfortunately, Prince Sheng’s mansion is very cautious. No matter where they go, there will be someone to monitor them. It is impossible to secretly leave the mansion. Now they follow Zhukongshan out of the mansion, but the horses they sent them.
The coachman was not an ordinary coachman, but a guard in Prince Sheng's mansion, called the Protective Miss. Under this pressure, no matter how much she was reluctant, she had to listen to Zhu Kongshan's words, so as not to annoy her and go to the Eighth Prince to sue them. That would be really fatal. Now she just hopes that the matter in Beijing will be dealt with quickly and return to Pengzhou quickly. As for the matter of taking the opportunity to take over the opportunity to take office when the young lady came to them, the two of them didn't think about it anymore.
Three unique characters suddenly came into the dilapidated temple. The beggars who did not go out to ask for things were a little stunned for a moment. They couldn't understand why the lady dressed so well could come here? Even if she wanted to buy labor, she should go to the labor market?
Zhu Kongshan was used to it. Looking at the beggars' puzzled and timid eyes, she took the initiative to step forward a few steps, looked around, and finally bent down in front of a little beggar and squatted down, and 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: "It's you? Are you the cousin of Your Highness the Eighth Highness?" He recognized the person, "That day you entered the city, helped me, and gave me silver." This was the child who was helped by Zhu Kongshan at the door of the embroidery shop that day. He looked at Zhu Kongshan very puzzled, "Miss, why are you here? This is too dirty, not where you should come."
Zhu Kongshan didn't say anything, but shook his head, took the handkerchief he carried and rubbed it a few times on the corner of the little beggar's lips. The little beggar was eating, and it was half a dirty broken cake. Seeing Zhu Kongshan wipe his mouth, he was so scared that he hid back: "It's impossible to use it. A lady's handkerchief is more valuable than my life, so you must not be dirty."
Zhu Kongshan sighed and said, "What are you afraid of? I am not a bad person. No matter what you think of the Eighth Highness in the past, I came from Pinzhou. Although I am his cousin, I have never had any contact. I came to Beijing to visit my aunt in the palace, but I don't know what my cousin did before to make the people in the capital dislike. But I am me. When I was in Pinzhou, I never regarded myself as a noble lady. Now I am in Beijing. You don't have to be afraid of me, and you don't have to be afraid of me. Since I can help you clean the corners of your mouth, I didn't plan to care about this veil." She is already beautiful, her voice is soft and beautiful, and she talks so close to people. The beggars in this temple suddenly felt as if the spring breeze was coming, which was so comfortable.
The little beggar didn't understand her words, but he also knew that the lady had no malice, so he stopped backing and just stared at her.
Zhu Kongshan said again: "I am like this. I can't see so many people in the world doing bad things. For me, people should be equal. You should not look at each other differently because you are poor, or even fight each other. When I was in Pengzhou, I told the beggars in Pengzhou that I have never looked down on anyone in my eyes. They are all obedient people. You cannot feel inferior because of poverty. I give them winter clothes, give them porridge and rice, and encourage them to work with their own strength.
Even a few copper coins are earned by strength, and they will not ask others for it. As I said, now that I have arrived in the capital, I will treat you like the beggars in the Pengzhou. I will not treat you differently. Winter is coming soon, and the weather is getting colder and colder every day. I came here today to count how many people in the north of the city need help. I am a little girl. Although it cannot solve the livelihood of all of you, at least one person and one winter coat will prevent you from getting frozen in winter. This is still possible."
"Winter Clothes?" The beggars immediately became energetic when they heard this and surrounded them. "Miss, do you take this seriously? Will you really give us winter Clothes? Don't you have any money?"
Zhu Kongshan nodded, not frowned at all because the beggars were surrounded by severe air quality. Instead, he smiled and said to them: "Of course it's true, one person is one, no one will lose it."
"But that requires a lot of money." The little beggar was a little anxious for her, "Miss, it really requires a lot of money. You have to think about it. That much money is not a joke."
"What are you afraid of!" she rubbed the little beggar's head and said, "Even if my sister's money is not enough, isn't there any prince Sheng's mansion? I don't care what Your Highness did in the past and made you unhappy. Now I'm here, I can still get some money from him." She said as she looked around and said, "Maybe it's not enough today. In this way, when you wait for everyone to count, how many men there are, women there are, and how many children there are. Or just don't go out early tomorrow morning, and you are waiting for me here. I will come here early and bring the tailor to tailor your clothes."
Her decision made the beggars cheer. They might not feel anything like spring, summer and autumn, but winter is dead. In winter, it will not die! Some people talk to you warmly before going to bed, but when they wake up, they die. They are not buried, so they can only throw the body outside the temple, waiting for the officers and soldiers to take it away and throw it outside the graves. Now some people say they want to make winter clothes for them, so people are of course happy, which means that there is no need to be frozen in winter, and no one will freeze to death. For a time, the cousin of the eighth prince's hearts has risen rapidly in the hearts of these beggars.
Zhu Kongshan felt that this was not enough. She looked at the temple and turned to Aruo and said, "You should go to the place where the window paper is sold now and ask them to send a friend to calculate how many windows there are in this dilapidated temple, and replace all the window papers. Remember to change the thick ones, so you can't break them like you do now, and you will get air leaking everywhere."
As soon as Aruo heard that he could go out for a job, he quickly agreed to leave in a hurry. Finally, he could breathe a breath of fresh air. Even if he ran errands, she was happy.
"A Huan." Zhu Kongshan continued to instruct, "Go and find a carpenter and ask them to install a door in this dilapidated temple. With such a large opening, even if you wear a thick winter night, you can't resist it at night." A Huan responded, and Zhu Kongshan began to look around the dilapidated temple with a worried look on his face, and said helplessly: "I actually really want to move you all from here, but a winter clothes are small, and I can't do anything about moving so many people away. Don't blame me, live for now, at least I will stay with someone to repair the place to be repaired, and I will never let you be exposed to the wind and rain again."
She said sincerely, and some female beggars wiped their tears and kept calling the female Bodhisattva.
Zhu Kongshan felt very helpful, but he kept saying, "You can't do that, you must not call me like this. I just do what I want to do. I just don't see the poor suffering. Your lives should be the same as us."
Soon, the two maids brought all the door repairers who sold window paper. She paid the silver notes on the spot and picked the thickest window paper and the best wood. Both of them praised her for her good heart.
Zhu Kongshan did not use all of his methods. She walked out of the ruined temple and didn't know where to get two brooms, handed them to Aruo and Ahuan, and then pointed to the ruined temple and said, "You two spoke ill of evil words when they entered Beijing that day, and threw copper coins to tease the people. Today, we will compensate for those mistakes!"
The two girls stood there on the spot, not understanding what Zhu Kongshan said for a moment. She explained again: "Don't you understand? You just want to clean the temple, clean up all the garbage, and transport it away by others, and you must not pile it in the temple anymore."
Where did Ah Huan and Aruo do such errands? Even when they didn’t climb to the first-class girl’s position before, they were just doing some cleaning in the lady’s yard. The yard of the wealthy family is so clean, at most they are just the leaves and petals that fall to the ground, but now...
Zhu Kongshan knew that the two of them were definitely not happy, but with a look, the two of them had to obey with warnings and threats. Even if they were not happy, they had to clean up with their fate. But the guard outside also walked in and stood beside Zhu Kongshan, obviously supporting her.
The cousin of the Eighth Prince made winter clothes for beggars in the north of the city, built a dilapidated temple, and asked the maid to apologize and clean it. Before the clothes were finished, such deeds had already spread, and not only came to Xuan Tianmo of the Prince Sheng's Mansion, but also to the noble Yuan of the palace.
Yuan Guiren was so happy that he couldn't stop talking. He felt increasingly that it was too wise to ask his niece to come to Beijing. He even felt that if such a woman was with her son in the future, she would be truly at ease.
Xuan Tianmo was more practical, and asked the tent to allocate more silver to Zhu Kongshan for her use, and also made a lot of clothes for her and gave her a lot of jewelry. Before the previous group of people who went to Pinzhou came back, he sent another group of people over there, and the things they gave were more precious than the last time.
Zhu Kongshan was not very interested in the clothes and jewelry given by Xuan Tianmo. In the final analysis, she didn't want to do this, but she was a smart person. At this time, let alone mentioning it, she would not let herself think too much. If you want to become a useful person, you have to do useful things. She must help Xuan Tianmo more, so that she can gain a firm foothold in this Shengwang Mansion and this capital, and have the capital to let noble Yuan fulfill his promise in the future.
