Chapter 289 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (79)

After entering the mansion, Jiang Qiuchen separated from Gu Yun. Gu Yun went straight to the princess's bedroom without hesitation, shouting that she must sleep with her mother tonight.

It can be seen that she had a very torturous time during the few days she was away from home.

As for Jiang Qiuchen, after learning the purpose of her visit, the servant took her to Gu Shaojing's yard.

After a period of rest, Gu Shaojing's leg injury has mostly healed, but to be on the safe side, he still needs to rest in the mansion.

When Jiang Qiuchen came, he was feeding the fish in the pavilion.

Gu Shaojing, wearing a brocade robe, transformed from an iron-blooded god of war on the battlefield into a gentle and elegant nobleman.

The brocade robe was embroidered with delicate cloud patterns, which looked like rolling sea of ​​clouds as he walked.

Although his face still had that cold and indifferent expression of "keep away from strangers", there was a rare tranquility and peace between his brows. It was obvious that after returning to the palace, his mood had become much more relaxed.

The eaves of the pavilion are slightly raised, like a phoenix spreading its wings to fly.

There is a stone table and several stone benches in the pavilion. On the table is a pot of tea, and the fragrance of tea is floating in the air.

Gu Shaojing had already noticed Jiang Qiuchen's movements out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't say anything first. Instead, he walked casually to the fish pond with a handful of fine fish food in his hand.

In the fish pond, colorful koi swim freely in the water, like lively ribbons.

Gu Shaojing gently scattered fish food, and the koi jumped out of the water one after another, scrambling for the food. Ripples appeared on the water surface, reflecting Gu Shaojing's calm and deep eyes.

After feeding the fish all the food in his hands, Gu Shaojing clapped his hands and swept away the remaining fish food in his hands.

The servant came forward with a wash basin and helped Gu Shaojing wash his hands.

After wiping his hands, the servant retreated with the basin, and Gu Shaojing also gestured to Jiang Qiuchen.

"Miss Jiang, please sit down."

Jiang Qiuchen nodded slightly, put her palms close to her body, smoothed out the wrinkles on her skirt, and sat down.

"I wonder why Miss Jiang came to visit so late at night?"

Jiang Qiuchen looked up at the dark sky around him and the lanterns hanging around the pavilion, and smiled a little embarrassedly. Now was not a good time to visit.

If it weren't for the fact that if this matter wasn't dealt with, the three of them would not be able to sleep well for the whole day, she wouldn't have wanted to come here in such a hurry.

"Um, I'm so sorry to bother you so late."

"I came here today mainly because I want to ask Master Gu for help with something."

Although he had been prepared in his heart, Gu Shaojing still raised his eyebrows curiously when he heard that Jiang Qiuchen wanted to ask him for help.

He had only met Jiang Qiuchen briefly before, but he felt that Jiang Qiuchen was the type of person who would not ask others for help unless it was necessary.

It must be a big deal for her to take it to heart and be so anxious about it.

"Oh? What's the matter? Miss Jiang, just tell me. If I can help, I will certainly not turn a blind eye." Hearing this, Jiang Qiuchen felt relieved. She was right in her judgment of the person. This Gu Shaojing was still very reliable.

"It's like this. Prince Gu doesn't stay in Lingzhou City for a long time. He may not pay much attention to some small corners of this city."

"Although Lingzhou is relatively stable at the moment and the people live in an orderly manner, with a little happiness in their ordinary lives, there is still a group of people who exist that we cannot completely ignore."

"I wonder if the prince knows about the 'Zashi'? There are a group of poor people with difficult lives in that place, as well as a group of abandoned, lost, and parentless children."

When he first heard the word "zashi", there was a little confusion in Gu Shaojing's eyes, but after careful recollection, he remembered it.

This market was even more chaotic and undisciplined at first, and later it had to be specially rectified before it could barely maintain its current appearance.

There are too many dark corners here, and the people and things involved are extremely complicated and cannot be solved in a short time.

Sometimes, what you see is a mess, but this mess is the result of a balance between the two. If you want to untie it hastily, you may only get a dead knot.

"I know this place. Most of the people here escaped from other states during the previous chaos among the states. They don't have Lingzhou household registration and don't have proper jobs, so it's difficult to manage and accommodate them."

"I had thought about sending them back, or letting them find a job to make a living and create some value for Lingzhou City."

"But the people here are not only lazy, but also extremely unruly. No matter how hard we try to help them, it's hard to get an ideal result. We have no choice but to put them aside for now."

"As for those homeless children, there seemed to be only a few at the beginning, but I'm afraid the number has increased unnoticed over the years."

"Miss Jiang, why are you interested in the market for no reason? Did you have a conflict with someone there? If necessary, I can always send someone to resolve it. I will never let you suffer any injustice."

Gu Shaojing thought that they were excluded and bullied by others in the process of opening the clinic, and wanted to come forward to support them.

Jiang Qiuchen smiled and waved his hand to refuse.

"No, we are bullied for no reason. Besides, if there are really those blind people, don't bother you. I can handle it myself."

Gu Shaojing looked at Jiang Qiuchen's slender wrist with some disbelief.

"What I want to say is that there are many homeless children in the market. They are still young and can hardly find anything else to do except begging."

"If these homeless children are not intervened and managed, over time, I'm afraid it will have a negative impact on Lingzhou's public security."

When Lingzhou City was mentioned, Gu Shaojing became more interested.

"I have brought them all back to the clinic today. Just taking a bath and eating almost cost the three of us our lives, not to mention the other things."

"According to my original plan, I was going to keep a few smart girls to be apprentices in the clinic, and the rest of the children would be given other things to do according to their personal interests and ambitions."

"There is strength in numbers. If you have any trouble, go to the boss. I think it's not too late. Why don't you take action now, Prince, and let a specialized organization take over so that these children can learn some skills to survive."

"It's hard for adults to manage, but there's still hope for these little kids to get on the right track."

After saying that, Jiang Qiuchen stared at Gu Shaojing expectantly.

Under such a scorching gaze, even Gu Shaojing's body stiffened for a moment. He bent his hands on the stone table, supporting his forehead, and seriously thought about a solution.
