rich concubine

Chapter 2120 Nursery Hall

And on this day, this was not the only thing that shocked Jiayun.

After leaving Baifuyuan, the mother took the three of them to the kindergarten.

This is the oldest asylum in the capital. It has gone through several turmoils and changed several generations of owners. It is now in the hands of a middle-aged woman named Hu Zhen.

Mrs. Zhen is about 44 or [-] years old, and her black hair has half of it white because of her usual worries.

The fine lines at the corners of her eyes accentuated her gentle smile. Facing these noble people, her back was bent, but she was not considered servile. It looked a bit contradictory to others.

Just like in Baifuyuan, Rongyi did not identify himself, but just walked inside like a sudden guest.

There are three children, mainly the two eldest ones. I can feel more intuitively that the children in the kindergarten are completely different from the children in Baifuyuan. The children here are very messy and busier. They seem to have endless things to do. thing.

Moreover, their backs never seem to be straight, but always bent, their heads lowered, and their faces have the same expression.

They really made people feel what it means to be an abandoned child, and what kind of treatment will they receive if they don't receive special protection?They have no chance to study and change their destiny.

Mrs. Zhen was very pleasantly surprised, but also a little heavy: "I didn't know that the noble lady is visiting today. There is a lot of chaos everywhere at the moment, and the children don't know the rules. Please bear with me, noble lady."

Rong Yi shook her head and said, "You don't need to take it to heart. I brought some things today and brought my children over to take a look. You don't need to follow me. Madam, please go and do your own business first. "

Mrs. Zhen is not Mr. Chen. When Mr. Chen heard these words, he bowed his hands and retreated, but Mrs. Zhen did not dare. There was no protection here. There was a noble person coming, so how could she dare to treat him lightly?

I'm afraid that there is some lack of hospitality that will cause the noble person to suffer.

Rong Yi saw her hesitating, paused slightly, and said, "If there is any forbidden area here, Madam, tell me, if I don't go, the children won't go either. Madam, I really don't need to follow you."

Mrs. Zhen was surprised. This noble man was also very good-tempered. How could a small temple like theirs accommodate such a giant Buddha?She came and brought so many things with her. She didn't sound condescending or domineering in her words. Instead, she asked if there was any forbidden area...

For noble people like them, even if there is a forbidden area, they will always care about how much the forbidden area of ​​this small temple cannot be offended. However, she asked herself, and there was really no trace of contempt in her eyes and tone.

Mrs. Zhen said hurriedly: "The noble people have gone everywhere, but... today, the noble people came suddenly, and many places have not been properly collected yet, and everything is in chaos..."

"No problem." Rong Yi spat out two words with a calm expression.

In this case, Mrs. Zhen had nothing to say. She nodded repeatedly and stepped back.

The mother, son, and daughter looked at it slowly and leisurely. The conditions here were not bad. The tables, chairs, and benches were all very well made. Although they were not made of high-quality wood, they were enough to show that they had taken care of themselves.After a while, the few of them separated. Rong Yi didn't look at her anymore. She found a quiet place to sit down and waited quietly.

It's so quiet here that it's easy to wander.

There were several children around who looked at her curiously, but no one dared to come forward. Although they did not know the identity of this lady, they could tell by looking at the maids who followed her and the quiet and dignified posture of her every move. Come out, this noble lady has an extraordinary background.

In this way, you are even more respectful and don't dare to offend.

Rong Yi also noticed the gazes of these children and looked back with a gentle expression. The living conditions and things the children here received were not as good as those in Baifuyuan. After all, the children in Baifuyuan were the first to have national characters. Therefore, whether they use it or eat it, it must be inferior.

Although the quality is not that good, it is enough to show that the people who manage this place are careful. At least every child here is dressed cleanly, and they are not made to suffer injustice, hunger, or the hardship of being hungry and cold. .

Rong Yi saw a child about the same age as Ling'er, with pigtails and dull eyes, being pulled by another slightly older child.

Rong Yi sighed lightly but made no move.

If she had come here before, she would have talked to them and left her things with them, but now she can't. Now Rong Yi understands a truth better. For these children, her own neglect , perhaps it would be more appropriate to treat her gently.

When the children here grow up, the boys may go out to work. When the girls reach a certain age, they have to marry someone else, but such cases are very rare. The children here are favored by God and have not given up. They starved to death and froze to death on the roadside because they were abandoned. They were adopted and managed, but at the same time they also lost their lives.

They will be well educated and taught how to serve others and do their duty as slaves.

Therefore, the children here are naturally cowardly, and being abandoned makes them unable to hold their heads up. But for the rest of their lives, after entering this courtyard, the people who set their lives will make them realize more clearly that they are like this. I can't be a human being for the rest of my life, I can only be an abandoned object, a chosen object.

Of course, it is not that pessimistic. The imperial court is very tolerant and caring for places like Yuyutang.

The people who go out here to work as slaves, servants, grooms, and pawns are different from those bought from outside. They have received strict discipline since they were young, and they can be regarded as innocent and harmless. .

When the children in the kindergarten grow up, even if they join someone's house as a slave or maid, they will still be decent compared to ordinary people. What's more, they will become maids as soon as they enter the house, and they don't have to be like other people. After working hard for five or three years, she was recognized by her master. Step by step, she rose from the rank of junior maid to the rank of eldest maid. The time when she was the most innocent, young, and most capable of being trained had passed.

People outside, no matter how big the official, no matter how powerful the person is, if a servant in the house enters the nursery and comes out of the nursery, they cannot really treat her like a beast and beat her to death, sell her, or even tamper with others at will. Think about it, if something happens to someone for no reason, and the head of the family can't come up with an explanation, the kindergarten can go to court to seek justice for the children who left it.

This is the most humane place in Dameng. The children who come out of here are already in difficulties. They are born to be abandoned. Their parents can abandon them, but the country cannot abandon them, let alone let them live in the country. After encountering such unfair treatment, I still live inexplicably and suffer inexplicably.
