The moon hangs high outside the window.Xiao Qi walked to the windowsill and knocked on the half-open window, and whispered to the person sitting in the window: "Second Miss, it's already time, it's time to rest." ”Wei Xi came back to his senses from his contemplation and looked up at Xiao Qi, "Wait, I can't sleep today." ”"Miss, are you still thinking about the day?""
Well," Wei Xi nodded, "I seem to remember that there is a saying that if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world."
I want to do more for those kids. ”Xiao Qixin said that you are also a child."
Xiao Qi, do you want to learn to read?"
Xiao Qi was stunned by the question, thought about it and replied: "When I was a child, I thought it was great, but now that I am older, I think that practicing martial arts is actually not bad." ”At least the lady who can protect her.Wei Xi flicked the glass lamp hanging by the window, "Then, Xiaoqi, have you ever thought about it, is there a day when all the children in Dayong have the opportunity to learn to read and write."
Whether rich or poor, rich or poor, rich or poor, everyone can learn something?
”Xiao Qi couldn't help but look up at the moon hanging high in the sky.When it got dark, her young lady began to dream.Early the next morning.Nursery Hospitality Hall.The girls were holding their pitiful luggage, nervously and expectantly waiting for someone to pick them up.Xiaomeng held Ning Ning's hand in one hand and stood in the corner with the burden in the other.The door creaked open.Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look over.I saw that the man who asked them to pay the ransom money in the name of the last night was kneeling in the middle of the courtyard and kowtowing and begging for mercy.Not long after, Aunt Hu was also dragged out of the backyard by two officials in official uniforms, and her whole body was trembling with fat and trembling, and she was dragged out of the gate of the nursery like a fat dead dog.Everyone looked at this scene and couldn't help but look at each other.Xiao Jun moved a few steps to Xiao Meng's side, "Aunt Hu and Lao Lin Tou have been arrested?"
”"I don't know, but I've seen officials arrest people before, and it's really from the government."
The two looked at each other, and Qi Qi shut up and decided to wait for the situation to develop.These two people were arrested, but they were not reluctant at all, but they were a little happy in their hearts.In addition to the people in the hall, there were also many children in the courtyard, who were all hiding far away at the moment, watching the two people who usually beat and scold them being dragged away with ghosts and wolves, and their faces were dazed.Wei Yan and Wei Zhizhou's matter against the Nursery Hall this time can be described as vigorous and resolute.Overnight, he sent people to collect evidence that the two people in the Nursery Hall were greedy for the silver and grain of the imperial court, and ordered them to arrest people early in the morning, without any ambiguity.I'm afraid that the two of them went to prison, and they don't know why they were arrested.The screams and begging for mercy became farther and farther away, and a group of frightened children slowly moved.A few bold sneaked to the door, and saw a person with a horizontal knife on his waist guarding the door with an expressionless face, and ran back with a cigarette in a hurry.The sun slowly rose high in the sky, and a few rays of sunlight leaked in through the cracks in the surrounding buildings.Just when everyone was becoming more and more overwhelmed, three figures finally walked in outside the gate.They were all women, dressed in cotton clothes, with kind smiles, and they were clean and neat all over their bodies.The children in the courtyard retreated back into the house, looking at them with some wariness through the crack in the door, but there were also a few who did not know what was going on and were squatting on the ground playing with mud, looking up at the people with curiosity.When one of them walked in front of the child squatting on the ground, he stopped and bent down to reach out and pick him up, frowning, "Oh, it's so light, it's too thin!"
”As he spoke, he reached out and wiped the mud off the child's face.The child couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to wrap his arms around the woman's neck.The woman was not angry, but laughed and teased the child.Seeing this scene, Xiao Meng took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk out of the hall, "Dare to ask, are the three eldest ladies coming to our nursery?"
”"Good boy."
Two other women approached her, and one of them smiled kindly and asked, "What's your name?"
”"Xiaomeng, this is my younger brother, Ning Ning.""
Little Meng, you can call me Aunt Wei."
The eldest of the two spoke first, "The three of us were all sent to take over the Nursery.Don't be afraid, we are all official relatives.Among the guards outside is my son. ”"What about Aunt Hu?""
They are self-inflicted, and they shall not live."
Aunt Wei reached out and touched the little girl's withered yellow hair in front of her, and couldn't help but feel distressed again, "You children, you have suffered." ”The three of them were also suddenly notified last night that Mrs.
Zhizhou was invited, and they all went over to the appointment excitedly and apprehensively.When I arrived at the Zhizhou Mansion, I realized the intention of Mrs.
Zhizhou to call them in the past.That's why they came to the nursery this morning.Originally, they also knew that there was a nursery in the city, which was a place for the imperial court to adopt orphans.But I didn't expect to come here in person, and what I saw were skinny children, which really made them feel very distressed."
Little Meng, Aunt Wei has one more thing to trouble you.""
Aunt Wei, you say."
Aunt Wei glanced at the heads in the surrounding room who were secretly looking out, "I see that these children are afraid of life, and Aunt Wei wants to trouble you to help call them all out."
It's not a good place to live, so let's pack up and go to our new home. ”"A new home?""
Yes, your new home."
Xiaomeng is the one who has been in this nursery for the longest time, and because of his good temperament and often caring for the young, he also has excellent popularity among these children.In addition, there is always a lively temperament, and Xiaojun, who knows the most people, helps.Half an hour later.The small courtyard was crowded with children of all sizes who came out of the house, holding their luggage and standing in an orderly manner."
Mother," an official walked in and stopped in front of Aunt Wei, "the carriage that came to pick up the child has arrived." ”"I know my son," Aunt Wei replied, waving her hand at her son, "Go out quickly, look at your angry face, don't scare these children." ”Someone who was disliked: "I'm afraid he's not biological.As soon as the people left, Aunt Wei looked at Xiaomeng and their expressions suddenly softened, "Let's go, let's go out and take the carriage." ”"Aunt Wei," Xiao Meng led Ning Ning and didn't move, "We still have to wait for someone here, I'm afraid we can't go with you." ”"Wait for someone?"
Aunt Wei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered, "Are the two young ladies who came over yesterday?"
Don't worry, the eldest lady has already informed the two young ladies, and they will go back to your new home to pick up people. ”Saying that, she still secretly said in her heart: It was still the Miss Wei who told her personally!
When Xiaomeng heard this, he was relieved.Walking all the way out of the alley where the nursery is located, my vision suddenly opened up.But what caught the eye was the long row of horse-drawn carriages parked on the side of the road.There are more than 50 vehicles, which is quite spectacular.There are more than 300 children in the nursery, and it takes six to seven people in a carriage.However, nine out of ten of the children had never been in a carriage, and they sat in the carriage with trepidation for a while, before they slowly relaxed and began to look left and right curiously.Xiaomeng hugged Ning Ning and sat by the window of the carriage, and when the carriage slowly moved, she lifted the curtain, turned her head, and took one last look at the place where the nursery was located.I don't know if the road ahead will really be hard, but it will certainly not be worse than before.
