General, please stay

Chapter 81 The Inside Story of Renyi Mansion
Yan Junxing changed the subject tactfully, and said, "By the way, do you know who Chen Envoy is this time?"

Qi Gui asked, "Who is it?"

Yan Junxing sneered and said, "It's Lu Jingyao."

It's him!

Qi Gui gasped.

Lu Jingyao, that is the son of an old minister of Zhao State, who later surrendered to Chen.Originally, when a country perished, it was common for old officials to be recruited to surrender.But why is Qigui so anxious about this person, in fact, it is because they still have a relationship.

Lu Jingyao's father, Lu Yuancheng, was talented, but he was used to flattery.Although his family does not have a title, but he is favored by the king of Zhao, and he has concubine Jin, after all, the title of concubine, and his relationship with noble concubine Yide is also good.

Qi Gui fought with Lu Jingyao when he was a child.

But then she was dispatched to the temple.Although Zhao is dead now, everyone knows that she is still deeply loved by the Zhao royal family and all aunts and aunts, but at that time, her wealth plummeted.

Concubine Jin took the opportunity to be a matchmaker, saying that she wanted to tell Lu Jingyao about her.At that time, Lu Jingyao was just a cute and sensible kid who knew how to please adults.Concubine Yide also liked it, so she agreed.

All of a sudden, he sat firmly in the position of the prospective son-in-law, and this kid was proud of himself for a while.His playmates have also changed from some sons who beat the Chen family to a group of princes, princes and so on.

But later, Zhao died, and Lu Yuancheng brought his whole family to Chen.Chess returned to the rivers and lakes and became a beggar.

I thought the relationship between the two was broken like this.

But just two years ago, the two unexpectedly met once by accident.Chen Guoren's attitude towards surrenders has always been lukewarm, so Lu Yuancheng is somewhat uncomfortable in Chen Guo.But two years ago, he got an opportunity. The prostitute's daughter of Prime Minister Chen fell in love with Lu Jingyao, a white-faced scholar.

At that time, Qigui and Shitou were hiding outside an inn, and wanted to buy a few clean big white steamed buns with the money they begged.But even if a beggar has money in his hand, it is inevitable that he will be looked down upon.The two waited by the door for a long time.

Finally, the big steamed buns came.Lu Jingyao happened to pass by.I saw Qigui.

In fact, thinking about it now, Qi Gui should have recognized her at that time.Because he's been staring at her ever since he saw her.The people with him called him several times before he could react.

Then that night, a master came to assassinate her.

At that time, because someone intervened, she and Shitou managed to escape for their lives.Of course, although Shi Shi coaxed her at the time, saying that they might have admitted the wrong person.Qigui still instinctively felt that Lu Jingyao was here to silence him.

Now that I think about it, this is indeed the case.Because another group of people at that time should be the people of the eight cavalry.

Qi Gui seldom thinks of anyone and feels numb in his chest, and Lu Jingyao is one of them.

"Chess return?"

Qi Gui regained his senses fiercely, and then bumped into Yan Junxing's eyes, and she understood that Yan Junxing might have already had this information.

Her absence made Yan Junxing suddenly feel a surge of hostility.It suddenly occurred to him that there were actually many things in her heart that he didn't understand.

He hugged Qigui fiercely, and when he pushed her to the desk, he realized that he was in the study.

But hesitation is only a momentary effort.He hugged her tightly, then bowed his head and kissed her passionately.Qi Gui just froze for a moment, and then kissed back passionately.

Afterwards, Yan Junxing carried her back to the room with great pity, the two washed up, Yan Junxing didn't read any more, and they lay side by side on the bed talking.

Qigui honestly told about the past that was not counted as the past.

Yan Junxing still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, and said, "Oh, I was engaged to you."

Qi Gui said abruptly: "You have ordered four kisses."

"..."

Yan Junxing coughed lightly, changed the subject cleverly, and said, "I heard that envoy Chen was coming, but I didn't take it seriously. I saw this name on the roster presented by the Ministry of Rites today, and I was so excited." Remember."

Hearing what Qi Gui said, that kid probably can recognize Qi Gui.Things got a little trickier.In any case, the two of them cannot be allowed to meet, and it would be better to send that little bastard back early.

Chess turned over and over again, obviously a little irritable.

Yan Junxing stretched out his arms to hug her and said, "You are upset."

Qi Gui said, "Of course I'm upset."

Although he didn't have any feelings for that person, but he actually wanted to kill him... After all, he was the husband candidate in his mind, even though he was still young at that time.Not only that, but this man was also associated with treason, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Also... I hate him even more.

Yan Junxing hugged her and said, "Don't worry, it's fine."

Qi Gui bit his arm and sighed: "I don't mean to hate him. But what he did is really..."

Yan Junxing said: "I know."

His eyes were a little cold.

The two fell asleep.

The next day, Qigui regrouped, without telling anyone, he took Guoguo and ran to Renyi Mansion suddenly.

This is the whole picture of Renyi Mansion.Although he was mentally prepared, he still took a deep breath.

The small yard is densely packed with children.The older ones are in their teens, and the younger ones are only a few years old.Everyone is wearing worn, patched clothes.All unkempt.Because it happened to be at the time of lunch, these children, all carrying small tattered bowls, lined up in a long line.

At the front of the line, Madam Xu and several other elderly women stood in front of several vats, serving porridge to each child.

Seeing the stunned Qi Gui, everyone was stunned.The children don't understand anything yet.All he knew was to look at her stupidly.

At this time, several people hurried out from the kitchen, all wearing aprons. One of them was young, about 40 or [-] years old, but he seemed to be the leader of the group.

She fell to her knees at once, and said in a trembling voice: "Servant, servant, please greet the princess."

She came here yesterday, so everyone knows that she is Marquis Wu's wife, Princess Chen Guojinhua.What's more, they are a group of people who actually know all the rich and powerful very well.Because, every year, I live on that little pension money.

Guoguo said, "She's Mother Dong."

Qi Gui gasped, and said, "Mommy Dong, please get up."

Mammy Dong sighed, stood up, and stood aside restrainedly with her hands tied. Several elderly mammies also stood up tremblingly.

Qigui had been hungry before, looked at those children, and understood their eyes.Then he couldn't bear it, and said: "Sisters, hurry up and serve porridge for the children, don't delay. Mother Dong, come with me."

Everyone quickly agreed.

Nanny Dong returned the chess to the room, but there was not even a place to sit in the room.The Renyi Mansion looked neat from the outside, but the yard was in a mess, with the children's laundry hanging everywhere.Not to mention the inside of the room, even Mammy Dong's room is full of Datong shop, there are about a dozen small pillow-shaped things.

Mammy Dong awkwardly invited Qi Gui to sit down.

Qi Gui sat down and couldn't help but said: "Why is this happening? Isn't there a pension and donation every year?"

Mammy Dong smiled wryly, and said, "Where is that little money enough? There are wars every year... more and more orphans. The money that comes to us every year is only three to four thousand taels."

If you don't know how to return the game, that's a lot of money.

Mother Dong knew what she was thinking, and said, "In addition to orphans, there are many widows, and they also receive pensions every year. A family of twelve taels, if distributed, there will not be many. But we have a lot of children here, slaves Thinking about it, I was a child, and when I was growing up, I didn't have the heart to skip eating, and I still took three meals a day. But in this way, it is inevitable that I will be tighter."

Qi Gui said, "Why didn't you tell your superiors?"

Mother Dong said with her hands down, "We have received so much pension money every year, we are already very grateful."

Qi Gui is a smart man.Judging by her appearance, she knew she must have said it, but it was useless.

She frowns.

Dong Momo was a little uneasy, and said, "Princess, the annual compensation money is already quite a lot..."

Qi Gui was surprised and said: "You don't want me to report this matter to the queen?"

Madam Dong is nah.

This is strange, is there some unspeakable secret?

At this time, Guoguo tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "Mother, don't scold Mammy either. Mammy is a good person. Every year, apart from us orphans whose parents both died, Mammy will take in some vagrants on the streets. beggar..."

Dong Momo didn't have time to stop her, she immediately knelt down in fright, shaking like chaff: "Princess, spare me!"

She said "forgive me", but Qi Gui knew that she was not afraid of death.

Qi Gui sighed softly, and said: "Renyi Mansion, how many children are there?"

Aunt Dong burst into tears and said, "There are more than 500 children in total. Most of them are orphans. There are also..."

Qi Gui was disappointed, and said: "Nurse, you shouldn't do this. Some things must be done, but can't be done. It's not that we don't want to do it, but we can't do it. Do you understand?"

Madam Dong said: "My servant understands that the orphans of the generals who sacrificed their lives for the country should be the first priority, but looking at those street children, this servant really can't bear it...My own child is walking in the chaos of war. It was lost. Until now, it has not been found!"

After all, it is the children who suffered in the war!
Qi Gui is very sad, she knows that this is wrong, adopting too many orphans, doing unlimited things with a limited amount, will naturally be stretched.But Madam Dong is also kind.

She has been a beggar, so naturally, she will not bear it.

If it weren't for the protection of the stone and the eight cavalry, she would have starved to death on the street long ago.

At that time, although she occasionally ate beggar chicken, she was often hungry.That's why I have broken my body now and have to take medicine every day.

She sighed, "Mammy, please get up quickly, I don't mean to blame you."

Guoguo was beside her, and said softly, "Mother, don't blame Mammy. Mammy herself has had a hard time, and the new babies, some of which are very small, are all brought by Mammy herself. There are also some children who are born with disabilities or are seriously injured, and the mother treats them as things."

Hundreds of children, hundreds of mouths, such a small amount of money will not be enough for the day, and I am afraid that the gold and silver will be exhausted.What's more, looking at Madam Dong's appearance, the number of children is still increasing every year.

Qi Gui subconsciously followed Yan Junxing's example and rubbed his brows, saying: "It's not a solution for you to continue like this, the children will never have enough to eat, and it's not a problem if there are more than a dozen people crowded together."

Madam Dong lowered her head and dared not speak.

After a while, Qi Gui said: "Forget it, let me think of a way."

Saying that, Lily and Laner took out their pockets for a long time, but they didn't take out much money.
