Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 71: Do One Kindness Every Day

It's no secret that Jiang Erlang loves beauties, but it's really unique that he loves to be so flattering and deliberate without regard to face.

At most, he used to chase beauties to check their faces, or stay near places where beauties haunt, and when he finished painting or found other beauties, he would throw away his hands. He has never taken the initiative like this before. When you strike up a conversation.

The dandy who claims to be a gentleman has done a dirty thing this time. Appreciation of beauties is admiration, and obsession with them is inferior to the end.

This beauty fairy obviously didn't like him very much. When she opened the door and saw him, her kindly beauty's face was covered with frost in an instant.

It can be seen from this that it is definitely not the first time that her second brother came to the door hastily. What is the so-called offering love and doing charity, not an excuse?
What's even worse is that she actually dragged herself to come together under her banner!

"Wait a minute. My brother and sister are here today to visit the elderly in the courtyard. Look, we have prepared food and cloth." Jiang Chengfu moved very nimbly, he could squeeze half of his body into the crack of the door and let the beauty close the door Action blocked.

He pointed to the stuff in the hands of the servants behind him, and smiled like a weasel about to steal a chicken: "Yuan Niang just for the sake of these things, how about a smile?"

Liu Yuanniang grew up in the market, but she lost her father's support when she was young, and she lived under the fence of others. She has never seen anyone of all kinds.

Because she was born very well, some dandies often took advantage of the bad money in the family to molested her. She hid when she could, and if she couldn't hide, she would scold and go back.

After so many years, I have long hated such people.

Jiang Erlang was the strangest one she had ever met.

She hated him, no doubt about it.He is the son of an official, and he is a common man, so his status is naturally different.He is a man, she is a woman, and the other party's gender is naturally dominant.

Since she went out to do part-time work not long ago, in the resort where an accident happened recently in Yanshan, the two met by chance, and they don't know how Jiang Erlang has become a dog skin plaster that she can't even shake off.

He actually figured out where she is now so quickly, and found all sorts of weird reasons to insist on seeing her.

A few days ago a kite fell in, and yesterday I wanted to hire a few child laborers with money, and today I will come to deliver the Dragon Boat Festival gifts.

She could refuse the previous excuse, but today she couldn't refuse it no matter what.

The operating condition of Ji Shan Tang is very poor.The above policies are all good, but when it comes to the actual implementation at the bottom, it can only be expressed in four words: living a difficult life.

If it weren't for the quietness here, no one would harass her, and Liu Yuanniang would also look down on the five copper coins that were paid for this day.

One should know that for a person of her age to be a short-term envoy in another family, even if she has no skills and only sells her labor, she still needs at least five kuai a month, an average of more than a dozen coppers a day.

With such a small wage, she often couldn't get it, and the food was poor, Liu Yuanniang felt that she couldn't hold on anymore.

She couldn't remember the last time she had a full meal, her eyes were fixed on the meat that Chen Pi was carrying, wishing she could take a bite while it was still alive.

She opened the door subconsciously, letting in those who were not welcome in this group.

Jiang Erlang has never successfully knocked on the door and realized his dream of entering the house. Today's happiness came so suddenly, he secretly scolded his elm head, why didn't he think of the trick of delivering food earlier.

The scene in Jishan Hall surprised Jiang Jiuying.

In a place like this, she had already made mental preparations, and there would be all kinds of mess inside.

However, broken is really broken.A courtyard wall collapsed, and bamboo was improvised to build a half-person-high fence.The thatched roof is also shining with light, and it is obvious that it is raining heavily outside and it is about to rain lightly inside.

Such a house is basically regarded as a dilapidated house, and it will collapse when the wind blows, making it uninhabitable.

However, the five or six children playing in the yard, and the seven or eight elderly people under the eaves escaping the summer heat, although they were all sallow and emaciated from hunger and had a bad complexion, the clothes on their bodies were clean, and the collar and cuffs of the clothes could be seen. background color.

Patch upon patch of coarse cloth, the colors are all monotonous, gray, white and black are the most common, and only the patches are very bright. At first glance, it looks like the leftover scraps left by the fabric shop.

It can be seen that at least they have been meticulously cared for.

The elderly and children in Jishantang have no family members, and no outsiders come here all year round.

It is a custom in Anqing Mansion that people with extra money will give porridge to the street or donate to temples when they celebrate their birthdays or get newly married, but no one will remember that there are these poor people in the forgotten corners.

Nowadays, people feel that old people have nothing to rely on, and young people have nothing to rely on. Although they are pitiful, they are mostly ominous.

Quanfu talents with all four corners are really blessed. They are like this, which is all bad luck. Naturally, no one cares about them, and they are quietly waiting to die in this world.

Let's look at a few old people, seeing strangers, seeing food and clothing, pairs of cloudy eyes are like ancient wells, there is no slight ripple, neither joy nor sadness, some are just numb.

Jiang Jiuying doesn't like such a place in her heart.It's not that she has a clean nature and looks down on these lonely old people, but that there is a gloomy atmosphere everywhere, which makes people feel heavy for no reason.

Chen Pi and Dang Gui were already moving their things to the kitchen in the northwest corner with winking eyes, while Ji Jiao and Lonicera didn't dare to leave the girl, fearing that these curious children who were watching them would accidentally bump into them.

In this group of children, the oldest was no more than ten years old, and the youngest was just able to speak. They shrank to the side, blinking their watery eyes, and did not dare to go forward.

Jiang Jiuying was not afraid, she took out the purse that she always carried with her, in it were some candied fruits she packed to pass the time, sweet and sour, perfect for coaxing children.

"Kids, come over for some snacks~~" The candied fruit on her tender white palms can be both yellow and red, which should be very attractive to children.

But these children not only did not approach, but also took a step back at the same time. Some young children who were not sensible wanted to step forward, but were dragged back by the oldest one.

The two groups of people suddenly felt a little tense.

What is this sudden hostility?Jiang Jiuying thinks that although she is not very good-looking, at least she is sweet when she smiles, and she doesn't have the ability to stop children from crying at night?

It was Liu Yuanniang who came out to smooth things over: "Girl, they haven't met strangers very much, they are timid, please give me this candied fruit, I will send them later."

Jiang Jiuying quickly followed the steps down the steps like a gentleman, and greeted her second brother who was still drooling at the beautiful woman and wanted to go home.

They are obviously not popular, so just do your best, and don't have to stay to make people hate them.
