Chapter 286 287 West City Corner

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu with a smile, "Okay, you can handle this, Awei and Ruyi will also breed, you can just go ahead and don't make yourself too tired. After the farming is busy, I will also go down to check the river, In case of flooding during the flood season, the dikes will be destroyed.”

"Okay." The two of them looked around, got in the car and walked back, Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and said, "Xiaoxi, I'm thinking of waiting for Zhuangzi to build it up. Let's pick some lonely old people or orphans who are responsible. When Zhuangzi goes to work, the children ask craftsmen to teach them a handicraft, and when they reach a certain age, they are released to go out and make a living, do you think?"

Zhou Jia thought for a while, looked at Li Yu and said, "Yu'er, I know you have compassion for these orphans and widows, but these people are of mixed quality, in case they cause trouble..."

Li Yu took Zhou Jia's hand and interrupted him, "Xiaoxi, I know that you are afraid that my child and I will be hurt, but there is trouble in doing anything, we just need to be careful, and we will find out if we find out and hire us back. It's alright, and besides, it's a good thing!"

Zhou Jia saw that Li Yu had made a decision, and thought: I can only find a way to cooperate with her. After thinking about it for a while, she looked at Li Yu and said: "The origin of these people and the character of the yamen and arresters who patrol the streets are clearer. Go back and ask Mr. Qian to bring someone to find you, remember, even if you want to hire them, you must sign a contract, and we have to use that person's name for this matter, otherwise we will win people over."

Li Yu knew what he meant. In this era of imperial power, if you are a prefect who wants to win over people's hearts, you just want to do something wrong, and kissed him on the cheek, "I know, thank you Xiaoxi." Zhou Jia pointed at his lips with a smile. , "And this."

Li Yu pecked his lips with a blushing face, "You are getting more and more ruffian." The couple flirted with each other and returned to the mansion.

Zhou Jia went back to the yamen and told Mr. Qian about Li Yu's idea of ​​taking in orphans and orphans. When Mr. Qian was in Qingchuan, he knew that Li Yu was most jealous of evil and pity the weak. These are all good things, and I will do my best to help Mrs.

Zhou Jia instructed: "Mr. Qian, Madam, she has a good nature. She might be deceived by those who misbehave. You and the clerk should explain clearly that those who are of bad character should not be brought to Madam."

Mr. Qian cupped his hands and said, "It's your lord, I'll go to the yamen on duty, and let them pick the ones to bring to Madam."

Mr. Qian excitedly went to the office of the yamen and the catcher, and met Liu Yi, the head of the yamen. Liu Yi was in his forties, tall and strong, with a plain appearance and red and black complexion. Seeing Mr. Qian's hearty smile, he said, "Mr. Qian. , I have an order to come to the class."

Mr. Qian laughed and said: "I can't talk about the order, please ask Liu Bantou for help."

Liu Yi smiled and said politely: "You said, there is nothing in Yunzhou City that I don't know about Liu Yi!"

"That's right, Madam bought a piece of Zhuangzi outside Xicheng, and today I went to check on Zhuangzi with the adults, and I saw those little beggars outside Xicheng..."

Liu Yi listened and thought to himself: Grandma, are those beggars in your eyes? To drive people away. After thinking about it, he said, "Those little things bumped into Madam? I'll send someone to drive them away."

"Hey! Just listen to me!" Mr. Qian took Liu Yi and told Liu Yi what Zhou Jia meant, "Mrs.'s request is very simple, as long as you don't suffer from any extraordinary disease, and you are a good person. "

Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, clasped his fists at Mr. Qian and said, "Don't worry, sir, I know that Madam's kindness can't be deceived. I know the origins of beggars and widows in the West City, and some of them are indeed They are forced to be rogues, but some of them take the blame for themselves, and they pretend to be pitiful to deceive people.”

Mr. Qian agreed: "Yes, what the adults mean is to get rid of those wicked villains, let those who really need help change their way of life, and let those children learn the same skills of living in peace."

Liu Yi patted his chest with sincerity, "Tell your lord, wrap it up with me, Liu Yi, and I will definitely help Madam pick a good person."

Mr. Qian cupped his hands and said, "Okay, it's too late today. You go to the prison to find me at the end of tomorrow, and I'll take you to see Mrs."

Liu Yi sent Mr. Qian away, hung up the Pu Dao and went out towards Xicheng. When he arrived in Xicheng, he bought a dozen steamed buns at a steamed bun shop, and went to a dirty alley at the corner of Xicheng.

I saw rotten vegetable leaves on both sides of the alley, and occasionally feces, and a sour smell came from the nostrils. Liu Yi quickly walked towards a row of grass huts at the end of the alley, pushed open the dilapidated wooden door, and the house was empty. There was no one, and Liu Yi shouted, "Shuisheng, Erya, Sanzi, Uncle Liu bought you steamed buns, and I have good news to tell you."

Liu Yi shouted a few times, but no one answered. He turned around and walked out. When he went out, he saw a scrawny boy of seven or eight years old, followed by two yellow and skinny children of five or six years old, kicking and kicking from the entrance of the alley. walked in.

The boy saw Liu Yi showing a smile: "Uncle Liu, why are you here?"

The two children looked at the paper bag in Liu Yi's arms and swallowed. Liu Yi handed the steamed bun to Shuisheng, "You eat first, I have good news to tell you."

"Thank you Uncle Liu." The big baby took the steamed buns and gave them to the younger siblings, and the two children devoured them.

Liu Yi looked at the yellow-faced and skinny child and sighed in his heart. He turned around and entered the door. The three children followed into the house. Liu Yi said to Shuisheng, "Shuisheng, tomorrow the prefect's wife will come and pick someone to work in her house's Zhuangzi. , I heard that you will sign the body deed, I want to introduce your three brothers and sisters to the wife, you can learn a craft when you go to Zhuangzi, and when you release the body deed, you will have the ability to settle down."

Shuisheng looked at his two younger siblings, with a sad expression on his face that didn't match his age, "Uncle Liu, will my younger siblings want us at such a young age?"

Liu Yi looked at Shui Sheng with a positive look, "Yes, the adults said, if they want to help a dutiful child like you, as long as you want to go, Uncle Liu will report the situation of your family to his wife tomorrow. "

Shuisheng took his younger brother and sister in a salute and said, "Thank you Uncle Liu, we are willing to go, as long as the prefect is willing to take us in, I will definitely work hard."

Liu Yi touched the sparse hair of several people, and said warmly: "You are good boys, Uncle Liu is willing to help you, you clean up at home, Uncle Liu finds Aunt Xue at the end of the alley."

"Understood, walk slowly." Shuisheng sent Liu Yi to the door, Erya and Sanzi came up to hold his shirt, Erya looked at him timidly and said, "Brother, Erya is obedient!"

Shuisheng knew that since their parents were gone, they were afraid that they would leave them behind. "Brother knows, Liu Bo said that there are good people who are willing to take us in. Brother will take you with us. Let's pack our things."

"I'll help my brother pack up together." Erya and Sanzi followed him restlessly, and together they packed up the shabby and hard bedding, and a few pieces of old clothes, folded them, and put them in the back basket.
