Chapter 120 Chaos
Unfortunately, as soon as Qi Shuo entered the house, he saw Qi Qiong walking towards him.
Learning from the last experience of being discovered by his sister when he and Lin Hao made an appointment to eat sauerkraut and pork hotpot, Qi Shuo changed direction.
“Brother——”
The girl's intimate call made Qi Shuo unable to stop: "Little sister, are you going out?"
"The snow finally stopped today. I'm going out for a walk and want to ask if Ah Hao is home." Qi Qiong said, noticing something was wrong. "Brother, why are you so far away from me?"
"No." Qi Shuo denied seriously.
Qi Qiong tilted her head to look at her brother, and a guess suddenly flashed through her mind: Could it be that her elder brother went to eat delicious food without telling her again?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she took two steps towards Qi Shuo and moved her nose.
Qi Shuo had a bad feeling.
"Little sister, why are you sniffing around me like a puppy?" Qi Huan came over. This was a rare opportunity to criticize his sister, so he couldn't let it go. "Look at you, you don't look like a lady at all."
He should let his father and mother see it so that they don't scold him all the time.
The second brother's ill intentions did not distract the little princess: "Big brother is going to eat hot pot again, this time it's mutton hot pot!"
When Qi Huan heard this, he immediately forgot about his sister's criticism and said, "What? Big brother, are you eating alone again?"
Facing the accusing eyes of his younger brothers and sisters, Qi Shuo smiled calmly: "I didn't eat alone, I went there with my friends."
This answer did not make Qi Huan and Qi Qiong feel any better.
Qi Huan covered his chest and said, "Brother, what friends are closer than brothers?"
Qi Qiong was curious about the identity of his brother's dinner friend: "Brother doesn't seem to have many friends."
Everyone knew that the eldest brother was frail and liked to be quiet, and she had not seen anyone get close to him over the years.
Qi Shuo was silent.
It's not necessary to do this just for a bite.
He told them the name of the restaurant: "You can go and try it, it's really delicious."
After finally sending his younger brothers and sisters away, Qi Shuo quickly walked towards the study.
The assassination of the crown prince is a hot topic in the capital, and it is a good time to reveal the truth.
Without mentioning Qi Shuo's subsequent arrangements, Lin Hao took Baozhu to the house where the beggar was housed and glanced at the words "Lin's House" on the door plaque.
She once thought of giving it a name that people could tell at a glance was a charity hall, but after careful consideration she gave up the idea.
There are conditions for taking in beggars here. If it is named a charity hall, people will misunderstand that everyone is welcome, which will cause trouble. "Lin's House" is obviously a private residence, so it will be more convenient to do things here.
The gatekeeper was a skinny old man with gray hair. He looked sixty, but was actually only in his early fifties. He had once been a beggar wandering the streets, but after being taken in, he was given the job of gatekeeper.
Although Lin Hao didn't come often, the old man still remembered him firmly in his heart.
"Miss Lin is here." The doorman greeted her warmly, feeling indescribable gratitude in his heart.
His son and daughter-in-law both died of illness, and his grandson ignored him after he got married. He was lame and couldn't find a job, so he became a beggar. He never thought that there would be a day when he would have enough food and warm clothes.
This is all thanks to the kind young lady in front of me.
"Is my brother here?" Lin Hao walked in and asked casually.
Ah Xing is mainly responsible for the affairs here. Ah Xing practices martial arts with Uncle Liu in the morning and will probably come here to arrange things after lunch.
"Mr. Xing is here."
Lin Hao nodded and walked into the yard.
"Miss Lin is here." Someone shouted, and the little beggars came from all directions, but they were too embarrassed to get close, and looked at her with bright eyes.
Lin Hao didn't talk to any beggar in particular. He smiled at the children and walked in slowly.
Ah Xing came out after hearing the shouts. When he saw Lin Hao, he frowned slightly. After entering the house, he whispered, "Don't come here so often. After all, this place is not as safe as the general's mansion."
"Is someone causing trouble?" Lin Hao took the hot water poured by Baozhu and asked in a relaxed tone.
Doing good things is not easy, and she was mentally prepared for it.
The girl's relaxed look made Ah Xing relax his brows subconsciously: "A few unqualified beggars came here twice to cause trouble, it's not a big trouble."
Lin Hao took a sip of hot water and smiled, "I'm glad it's not a big problem. This is my initiation. I have to come and check on it occasionally. I can't just leave everything to you."
"But you are a girl from the general's mansion. People will gossip about you if they know that you often deal with beggars." Now, Ah Xing was finally sure that Lin was a kind-hearted person, so she naturally considered her sincerely.
Lin Hao disagreed.
Isn’t their family talked about enough? If you are really afraid of gossip, the safest thing is to do nothing.
"Don't worry, that gossip can't affect me."
Ah Xing was disappointed: "Why can't it affect you? Are you not going to get married in the future?"
Isn’t it said that wealthy families have a lot of rules for their daughters, for fear that their bad reputation will affect their marriage?
Lin Hao looked at him in surprise.
"What?" Ah Xing was a little confused.
Lin Hao chuckled: "I just wonder why you are so worried even more than my grandmother and the others even though you are only a few months older than me."
Ah Xing glanced at her sideways: "I'm just thinking about you."
Lin Hao waved her hand casually: "Don't worry about it, maybe I won't have to get married."
How did he end up asking for trouble? Ah Xing complained inwardly, then realized, "Don't you need to get married?"
Lin Hao didn't really think that far ahead, and casually said, "There are only my eldest sister and I in the General's Mansion. My eldest sister is going to marry into the Prince of Wei's Mansion next year. Maybe my grandmother will consider finding a son-in-law for me."
Recruiting a son-in-law?
Ah Xing frowned and blurted out his objection: "It's not a good idea to marry a son-in-law. Ah Hao, you're not very worldly-wise, so you probably don't know that nine out of ten men who are willing to marry into the family are not very good."
The girl's eyes are clear and her smile is as beautiful as a flower, like a dewdrop rolling on the grass in the early morning, clean and beautiful.
Ah Xing said silently in his heart: They are not worthy of you.
"Are there any beggars who meet the requirements and want to move in recently?" Lin Hao skillfully changed the subject.
Ah Xing's attention was indeed diverted: "There are three. One of them is very smart. He memorized several words after just one lecture..."
There was a sudden noise outside.
Ah Xing stood up and walked to the door, and saw a boy of eight or nine years old running towards him: "Brother Ah Xing, there are so many people here, so many people!"
The boy was panting as he spoke, which showed how fast he was running.
Ah Xing's face darkened.
No need to think, it’s the beggars who don’t meet the requirements but are unwilling to do so.
"Okay, stay in the room. I'll go check it out."
"Let's go together." Lin Hao walked over.
Baozhu looked around, picked up a fire stick beside the stove, and walked silently to Lin Hao's side.
Ah Xing couldn't help but glance at the fire poker in the maid's hand, and then saw that Lin Hao had no reaction, and was shocked: the noble lady was actually accustomed to her personal maid grabbing fire pokers and fighting!
Then... let's go and take a look together.
When Lin Hao and Ah Xing walked to the gate, they saw several teenagers holding the gate tightly. More children were frightened and at a loss, and some were crying.
