Chapter 61: Guangde Marquis Mansion asked us to come
The curtain fell.
Block the beauty's face.
Bai Wutong was eating the candy man, but he felt bitter in his heart.
Seeing the bustling streets of the capital again, she couldn't help but think of her father and mother.
They were also on such a noisy street at the beginning, but were stuffed into a cage by Jin Zhi who was beside them and taken into the palace. From then on, they were separated from each other and would never be reunited again.
Zhang Chengyan looked at her furrowed brows and asked softly, "Is this candy man not tasty?"
"No, I just thought of something. Third Master, I almost forgot that the Queen Mother's birthday is coming up in a few days. There will be a big banquet in the palace. Will we miss it?"
Zhang Chengyan didn't expect that she still remembered this. "I will go back to attend the banquet, but you have to stay in Huguo Temple. There are many people at the banquet and it's easy for something to go wrong. You must be careful for the sake of the child. After three months, I will take you back to the palace."
Three months...
This is a bit long.
Who knows what will happen during the three months she is away from the palace.
Jin Weige can make a lot of arrangements.
Bai Wutong was thinking in his mind how to find an opportunity to go back earlier, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said he was tired and leaned back on the couch in the carriage to take a rest.
I don’t know how long I walked.
The carriage stopped suddenly.
"Sir, please have mercy on us and give us some food."
A woman's sobbing sound came from outside the car, hoarse and helpless.
Bai Wutong opened his eyes, lifted the curtain and looked outside.
A middle-aged woman was kneeling in front of the carriage. She looked to be around thirty years old, but the child on her back was only about two or three years old.
She could not be more than twenty years old, but she looked older probably because she had lived a hard life.
The child was very thin, with a pale face. The occasional sound he made was like the meow of a kitten, which was difficult to hear if you didn't listen carefully.
The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Please give me some food, sir."
A mother always devotes herself to her children.
Bai Wutong picked up the cakes from the carriage and handed them to Chan'er, "Send them down to them."
After she finished speaking, she remembered that Zhang Chengyan was still beside her. "Third Master, these mother and son look so pitiful. Since they stopped our carriage, it must be fate. If we take care of them, maybe we can accumulate some merits for the baby in our belly."
Zhang Chengyan nodded. It was just some cakes, so he gave them to him. He was more concerned about something else. "Let me ask you, since you have no food to eat, why don't you go to the city gate? They should still be giving out porridge every day."
For the sake of the royal heir, he provided free porridge for a hundred days. How could someone fall to the point of stopping a car in public?
The woman took the cake and shed tears with emotion. "You don't know, it's true that there is porridge at the city gate, but some bullies have occupied that place. Every time I want to go over, they will take out sticks to drive me away. I really have no choice but to do this."
If she hadn't been unable to survive, she wouldn't have stopped the carriage.
Those who could afford to ride in a carriage were either wealthy businessmen or high-ranking officials. If they encountered something bad, their lives might be in danger.
Her husband died in an accident and she lost her income. As a woman with a child, she simply could not make a living.
Zhang Chengyan's face turned pale, "How can this be absurd? We are praying for the royal heir, and yet someone is doing something evil!"
He gave out porridge for the benefit of the people of the world and also to accumulate merit for the royal heir.
When someone commits a crime and those who really need help cannot get it, how can you accumulate virtue?
Bai Wutong's eyes flushed red, "Chan'er, take the remaining cakes and some copper coins."
Chan'er searched the bag, "Madam..." She hastily changed her words, "Master, there are no copper coins, only small change."
"Not small change. Even though it's a bit more, they can't keep it." Bai Wutong understood the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure. "How about this, you go to a nearby restaurant and book seven days of meals for them and their son. As long as they come, they can eat."
She raised her voice so that the people around her could hear clearly, "Chan'er, take them there yourself so that the owner of the restaurant can see clearly. If it weren't for them, no one else would be able to eat there."
"yes."
The mother and son knelt on the ground and expressed their gratitude profusely.
Bai Wutong lowered the curtain and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Zhang Chengyan hugged her and said, "Why are you still crying? There are too many pitiful people in this world. If you cry for every one you see, I'm afraid your tears will dry up in one day."
"There are many pitiful people in this world, but I have not seen many of them. The old Taoist priest in the mountains always said that you should be kind-hearted in order to succeed, and I have always remembered it. Third Master, please go to the porridge distribution area and take a look. Don't let the bullies do evil again, otherwise how can you pray for the child?"
Zhang Chengyan nodded, "You are right, Jin Zhi, go to the city gate first to see what is going on, we will be there soon."
"Third Master, I will protect you here." Jin Zhi called a subordinate and asked him to go and take a look.
After Chan'er came back, the carriage continued to move forward.
She also brought back a lot of cakes and pastries, but Bai Wutong pretended to have no appetite and lay listlessly on the couch.
Outside the car.
Jin Zhi turned around and looked towards the restaurant.
The mother and son were kowtowing to the restaurant owner.
Bai Wutong is not only kind, but also thoughtful. He actually came up with such an idea. If they were given silver, the mother and son would not be able to protect themselves at all. If they were given food, there was a possibility that they would be robbed. This was the only way they could continue to have enough to eat.
It seems that she is better than she thought.
At the city gate.
The soup distribution is still going on.
Several tall and strong men were scattered around, looking lazy, but in fact their eyes were extremely sharp, specifically staring at the beggars and poor people who came to get porridge.
Seeing someone coming, one of the men came forward with a stick and threatened in a low voice, "Get out of here quickly. If you want to eat porridge, let me see if your head is hard enough. I'm going to hit you with this stick. If you're fine, then go and eat."
The beggar was so scared that he stepped back and ran away with the broken bowl in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Chengyan was furious, "It turns out that he is not a bully. I am afraid there is a mastermind behind it. Jin Zhi, arrest all of them!"
"yes."
Jin Zhi dismounted and walked up to one of the villains. Without drawing his sword, he raised one hand and knocked the man to the ground.
"Ouch, who!"
The other bullies heard the noise and gathered around. Seeing that Jin Zhi had an extraordinary demeanor and was not like an ordinary citizen, they did not dare to act rashly and could only shout, "Who are you?"
"I also want to ask who you are and how dare you do evil in the soup kitchen. Tell me, who sent you here?"
He stepped harder, and the bully screamed in pain, "Let me go now."
"If you don't tell me, I will break your bones right now."
The bully looked at the person next to him and said, "Brother, please save me."
Seeing that he was pointed out, the leader of the bullies had no choice but to come out and say, "My brother, you look like a rich man, so you must look down on these pots of porridge. We are also doing things for others, so please don't embarrass us, okay?"
Jin Zhi sneered, "You won't tell me, right?"
The bully screamed again, "Isn't it enough for me to say that? Be gentle, it was the Guangde Marquis Mansion who sent us here."
