"Madam, why give the food to those beggars? It's such a waste." A hint of displeasure flashed across Qingyan's face.
I don't know what's wrong with Gao Pan'er. It's understandable that she wants to get rid of the young lady and leave the property to Young Master Mo Lu. But it's really puzzling that she often takes money and food to help those beggars or seemingly honest people. It's just a thankless task!
However, he also wanted to use her, and the thought of the master's strong arms made his body heat up...
"What do you know? Go do it." Gao Pan'er said impatiently.
"Yes, Madam, I'll go and prepare right away." Qingyan's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered, went out, and closed the door behind her.
"Hmph, whenever I give some food to those beggars and lowly people, I feel a sense of superiority, a feeling of trampling them under my feet and playing with them. Haha, they grovel on the ground, begging me for food, praising my kindness, with a sense of utter humility, as if they could lick my shoes. This feeling is just too wonderful, hahaha." Gao Pan'er said with a wicked smile.
"It's just a loss of money and grain. Besides, this amount of money and grain is just a drop in the ocean for the huge Mo family."
"Young Miss, Concubine Gao has once again given away grain from the manor indiscriminately!"
"The world is not peaceful now, and we don't have much food in our household. Yet Aunt Gao is still giving out her good deeds indiscriminately."
"Just now, Xiao Hong told me that Aunt Gao asked the kitchen to make two steamers of buns, which are obviously for outsiders."
“Normally, when the master is home, he always indulges her. Now that the Mo family is in charge, Miss, and Aunt Gao is still acting like this, taking the Mo family's things and throwing them away like a money-spending machine. This is disrespecting the young lady!”
Du Juan rushed in from outside the door, looking anxious and disapproving of Aunt Gao, and kept complaining.
"Alright, I understand. Give the order later that Concubine Gao is no longer allowed to take any grain from the manor. If she wants to help outsiders, she'll have to pay for it herself." Mo Qian lay back in her chair, holding a novel that Du Juan had collected from outside.
Although I've collected quite a lot in modern times and stored it all in my storage space, including hundreds of gigabytes of downloaded ebooks, I'm not lacking in intellectual nourishment.
However, each era has its own characteristics. I haven't read any novels from the Republican era before, so Mo Qian became interested.
I randomly picked a book; it's about a wealthy young lady and her servant during the Republican era. One day, by chance, the young lady saw the servant showering in the courtyard. Water droplets rolled down his Adam's apple, past his eight-pack abs, and finally slid into…
The young lady, who had never been in contact with a man before, blushed instantly, and the servants were also a little flustered when they realized they had disturbed her.
However, he quickly calmed down and pretended not to recognize the woman in front of him as the master of the house, treating her as a servant of the same status as himself.
Seeing the other person's handsome appearance, the young lady did not reveal her identity, assuming that the servants truly did not know her, and did not pursue the matter.
However, when she went to sleep at night, she kept thinking about the scene of meeting the servant, which made her feel uneasy and caused her face to flush. After meeting the servant a few more times, she missed him even more.
The other servants were all very respectful and lacked any interest; it was the servants who were different.
Furthermore, on another occasion, I witnessed a maid from the household leading other servants in a fight between demons in a deserted courtyard with artificial hills.
She finally understood why she felt hot every time she saw a servant. After reading a few more books and studying, she finally understood and confronted the servant, asking them to serve her.
The servants initially appeared reluctant, but that didn't stop them from working efficiently.
The young lady's parents also indulged her; he was just a servant, and they let their daughter do as she pleased.
It's worth mentioning that this is not the historical Republic of China era; although the name is the same, it is a fictional one.
Because the previous epidemic mainly affected women, they were initially too weak to stand and had to stay in bed.
Two months later, whether due to the epidemic or something else, the woman's physique changed. She became stronger day by day. Now, a woman who was originally delicate can lift a 500-pound stone mill. Naturally, the social structure changed quietly.
More and more women are going out, and men are gradually changing their views on women.
Nowadays, capable women, let alone one, even if men in the past had three or four wives and concubines, would only attract the admiration and envy of many women!
So it's not a big deal for a young lady to want someone; it's a romantic and elegant affair if word gets out.
Just as Mo Qian was seeing the young lady leading a servant to a hot spring, unbuttoning the servant's outer garment to reveal her porcelain-like abs..., she was startled by Du Juan entering the room.
He gave her a few perfunctory words and sent her away.
Mo Qian casually flipped through the novels that had been delivered. Apart from the one in her hand, the rest were all sweet romance novels about youth and innocence. They were probably accidentally mixed together and delivered.
Mo Qian was also curious, but she forgot about it after reading it. Now that she thinks about it, it wasn't that great, especially since modern times are even more...
Let's focus our energy on the female lead now.
Gao Pan'er, you want to continue giving the manor's food to those beggars? Dream on!
Not even a single grain of rice. I reckon that Gao Pan'er, with her saintly nature, will probably pay out of her own pocket later. Ha, does Gao Pan'er think those people are pushovers?
Those people already lived at the bottom of society, and they didn't want to work hard. They were lazy and only wanted to get something for nothing. Gao Pan'er had raised them for so long. When she ran out of money and couldn't provide food anymore, wouldn't those people make a fuss and behave themselves?
I don't even need to lift a finger; Gao Pan'er can ruin herself.
However, those beggars cannot be let off the hook either. Although Gao Pan'er was the main cause, those beggars were not innocent either. In addition, the original owner's life was also taken away. Those who benefited must also bear the consequences!
Although they are still beggars and have no proper livelihood, thanks to Gao Pan'er's charity, they have long since stopped begging on the streets, and their clothes have changed from being tattered and barely covering their bodies to being quite decent.
However, a beggar should act like a beggar! How can you just think about eating and waiting to die without going out to beg for food and enjoying the fruits of others' labor?
Now that these beggars are around, it seems Gao Pan'er's little treasury will have to spend some money. Before, she used the Mo family's things to do good deeds without spending a penny herself, and all the good reputation went to Gao Pan'er. There won't be such a good thing in the future!
Hopefully, by then, Gao Pan'er will still be able to cheer up and wholeheartedly continue being a good person!
Just thinking about it made Mo Qian happy. The more miserable Gao Pan'er was, the more she had an appetite. Hmm, she was hungry. What should she eat?
It's getting cold, so let's have something hot. Self-heating hot pot with fried skewers and a cup of Xiangpiaopiao milk tea, perfect!
