The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 36
Xie Zhong was busy arranging a place for A Kuan. Xie Qiming didn't see anyone in the backyard when he came, and he didn't pay attention when he entered the kitchen. He picked up a bowl and ate with A Kuan.

Everyone is the same outside, and Kuan doesn't care about dignity.

But now that he has entered Xie's house, if he doesn't pay more attention, he is afraid that life will not be easy in the future, so he got up to say hello, and squatted aside with a bowl.

Xie Qiming picked up the rice in two or three mouthfuls, took the tea from the mother-in-law and rinsed his mouth.

"Where do they live, girl, take me there to see."

The mother-in-law was speechless for a moment, and knelt down as soon as her knees softened.

"Master, Madam and Miss are not here, you should ask the butler for the specific situation, I don't know anything."

Hearing this, Xie Qiming suddenly felt that the cup in his hand was hot, and fell to the ground with a bang.

At this time Xie Zhong just came back to pick up Ah Kuan and the others to rest, seeing the situation he hurried forward to explain.

"Master, calm down, Young Madam and Young Miss are just missing, there is still a glimmer of hope.

There were not many people in the mansion on the day of the fire, and the boy from the other side of the ruined temple came to help. The fire was too big, and everyone fled separately.

Few people in our other courtyard know about it, and there are some who can't find it for a while.

But don't worry, sir, people have come back one after another in the past few days. We searched carefully in the fire scene. The young lady and the young lady must have escaped safely.

We have also sent people to search outside, and it is only a matter of time before we come back. "

Xie Qiming said silently in his heart, calm down, after the disaster happened, he cared most about this girl, if something happened to his daughter, he didn't know what he would do.

"Have you seen those boys in the ruined temple in the past few days? The leader is Gu Lian. I asked him to do something for me before entering the palace. Did he answer you?"

Xie Zhong shook his head: "I was not in the mansion when the fire started, and I also heard from people who came back that they went to the mansion to fight the fire and brought the people out of the mansion.

Then it was too chaotic, and neither you nor the master were here, so I could only do important things in the clan first, and I still haven't figured it out yet.

Fortunately, the master and uncle are both back now, and it should be smooth soon. "

Xie Qiming pondered for a moment and said, "I see, can father tell you to give food to the surviving victims?"

Xie Zhong nodded, "The price is slightly more expensive than usual, sir, is there anything else you want to explain?"

"It's an extraordinary time, so it's understandable that it's more expensive. When the food is released, you spread the news and find the children who live in the ruined temple to see me.

Don't mention the matter of Young Madam and Young Miss, it's chaotic outside now, if someone finds out their identities, they might threaten them with this. "

Xie Zhong agreed to come down, helped Xie Qiming stand up, and prepared to wait for him to take a bath and change clothes.

Turning his head to Ah Kuan who was squatting in the corner, he said: "My little brother, I have already arranged the accommodation, let's go together."

Only then did Ah Kuan stand up with a laugh, beckoning the children to follow them out of the kitchen.

After washing and changing into new clothes, Ah Kuan's true appearance was also revealed. His skin was fair and clear, and his eyes were bright.

The children are also clean, well-behaved and cute. Seeing this situation, Xie Qiming couldn't help but think about his daughter's safety. He hoped that his children would be as lucky as these beggars wandering outside.

Instruct Xie Zhong to take good care of him, and tell Ah Kuan to let him live in Xie's house with peace of mind.

Ah Kuan nodded in agreement, put away the old clothes he had changed, and followed Xie Zhong into a servant room specially set aside for them.

An oil lamp was lit in the room, and Datong was covered with thick straw mats and a few half-new quilts, which were much better than when he was working on the altar.

Xie Zhong helped A Kuan arrange the children, and said to A Kuan: "Don't blame my son, time is short, so I can only arrange you here first, and after I have been busy for a while, I will change you to a better place."

Ah Kuan couldn't remember how long it had been since no one called him son, so he choked up.

"The manager is polite, it's a good time to be in troubled times, you don't have to worry about your busy affairs, and thanked the Patriarch for me.

When he is free to call, I will thank you personally. "

Xie Zhong was a little surprised, he thought this young man was just an ordinary civilian husband who survived the fire, and he kindly protected a few children.

By chance, I ran into my uncle and sent him back, thinking of getting some benefits and eating a few full meals.

I didn't expect that there are still some rules in receiving people and things. Before listening to him, he should be a well-educated and sensible person.

Being able to help the sick and young in such a world is not bad, and this person should be useful.

Xie Zhong is thinking about how to ask Ah Kuan to help him.

Ah Kuan was also thinking about how to ask Xie Zhong for an errand. He took a few children with him, so living for free like this would definitely not work.

Although Xie Qiming promised Jinbo to take care of them, such a big family couldn't take care of them after a long time.

It's better to find an errand, so that others can't gossip, and you can live a stable life for a longer time.

The two of them walked to the door with a lot of hesitation, and opened their mouths at the same time. Ah Kuan was overjoyed, and quickly bowed to let Xie Zhong speak first.

"In my view of your son's virtue, you should have read the book. The food will be delivered tomorrow, and there is still a lack of a gentleman who keeps accounts. My son may be willing to help.

The children can be sent to the kitchen to be watched by the mother-in-law, and they will stay with you at night. "

Ah Kuan was naturally willing, agreed, sent Xie Zhong out and closed the door.

I thought to myself that there is no such thing as free food in this world, but that's fine.

Because he stays in Xie Mansion to take care of these cubs, he has more confidence.

As soon as the news of Xie's family opening a granary to release food spread, it really caused quite a stir.

The surviving victims in the capital rushed towards the food distribution site in waves.

Because there is a ration every day and the price is much higher than usual, most of the food did not fall into the mouths of the victims, but was bought by many rich households and hoarded.

Most of the disaster victims pooled money from several families and bought some leftovers from rich families to barely fill their stomachs.

After two days like this, the result Xie Xian expected appeared.

A team of well-armored city guards trotted to the other courtyard of Xie's house, without informing or asking for invitations, they kicked the door in very arrogantly.

It will be lunch time, and the servants at various food distribution points have just collected their things and reported the accounts in the yard.

Suddenly a group of officers and soldiers rushed in, everyone was startled.

The leader of the soldiers didn't expect so many people to gather in the courtyard, he was a little guilty, shook the big knife on his waist, stepped forward and said loudly.

"It's you who are selling grain, you are really good at business, when is it now, you dare to make such a fortune for the country.

Where is the shopkeeper, come out and talk to me. "

Xie Zhong walked out from the crowd, "Where does this official work in which house? Ask if there is a document to seal my crime?"

The soldier stared at Xie Zhong fiercely, "It's not you, ask the manager to talk to me."

Xie Xian's voice suddenly came from the back room: "Ah Zhong, invite someone in."
