Concubine's true colors

Chapter 259 Confused
Being a child prostitute and being bullied at will by men is miserable enough, but when these boys were serving others, they were only six or seven years old, and even five-year-olds abound. the vast majority.

And once these boys grow up to be eleven or twelve years old, no one is willing to spend money on them, so at this time, the old bustard of the brothel will drive them away, leaving them to fend for themselves and become outcasts.

These abandoned children and orphans, because of their humble birth, were either abandoned or came out of the fireworks place, so compared to beggars, people will think they are more unlucky.

Usually avoid them far away, let them fend for themselves, maybe death is more like a relief for these people.

And seeing Xiao Jinxuan's expression, Wen Xin knew that the other party also knew about the existence of abandoned children and orphans, so she immediately said again in a heavy voice:

"When I was in Yangzhou, I often suffered from hunger and hunger because of my poor family. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am like a little beggar. But because of this, I got to know some abandoned children. For these people, as long as they can Let them have enough food and live a little bit like human beings, then you just let them do whatever they want. And the orphans and orphans are all without relatives, Jinxuan, if you really want to train people, and don't be like others If you despise their origins, then I think this group of people living in the dark corners is the most suitable for your requirements."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan immediately smiled indifferently, unlike those daughters of aristocratic families, she grew up well-clothed and well-fed, and did not suffer from the sufferings of the world.

The more than ten years of life in Meizhuang when she was a child was full of hardships, but in everything, there will be gains if there is a loss. At least Xiao Jinxuan has learned what it means to treat everyone equally.

In her eyes, a prince and general may not be more noble than ordinary people. As for arrogance and discrimination against people in need, it is even more impossible for her, Xiao Jinxuan, to do it.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan immediately nodded, and then told Wenxin:
"There are not a few abandoned children and orphans like this in Yangzhou. As the most prosperous place in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the capital is probably not many of them. Besides, as you Wenxin said a lot, they have no family members, so they have less worries about the future. It will become a luxury if you go on, so you will try your best to be loyal. The most important thing is that although they are not born well, they have a clean background and will not have anything to do with any powerful nobles. It is urgent to cultivate people who can be used by us. You Let go of other things recently, let’s start with this matter first.”

Knowing that Xiao Jinxuan was in a hurry to expand his manpower, Wen Xin responded immediately, got up and was ready to go out of the house immediately.

After all, these abandoned children and orphans generally do not appear in the streets and alleys, but mostly hide under the exposed tiles of ruined temples, and it takes some effort to find them.

Seeing Wenxin leave the room and talk for a long time, Xiao Jinxuan's mouth was also dry.

Just about to take a sip from the teacup to moisten her throat, but Wen Xin, who had only just left, turned back in a hurry.

And just stepped across the threshold, Wen Xin said with annoyed expression:

"Jinxuan, look at my memory. When I talked to you, I even forgot about the fact that the people of Gu's family will leave Beijing tomorrow. Although Gu Qingge is not bad, Mr. Gu has saved you. So after getting this news, I think it's better to tell you, after all, this parting may be hard to meet in this life, so you can make up your own mind whether you want to give it away or not."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan didn't even bother to drink tea, and immediately asked in surprise:

"Isn't the emperor already exonerated the Gu family from the crimes? Why was he released from the prison this morning, and he will leave Beijing tomorrow. It's too hasty to leave."

Wen Xin took a few steps forward, then sighed, and said rather helplessly:

"Who says it's not, but although the Holy Majesty is kind enough not to pursue it, it might be the Gu family who don't want to stay in the capital. After all, if it were me, I would lose my official position and lose my daughter, my wife would go crazy, and my son would never be able to stay in the capital." To take part in the imperial examination and become an official, you have to guard against the crime of persecuting the royal family, and one day you will be brought up again, and you may be able to leave as soon as possible because of helplessness, but it is also the best choice for self-protection."

Nodding silently, Xiao Jinxuan felt that Wen Xin's analysis was very reasonable, so she immediately asked the other party to go to work. As for whether to go to see off the Gu family, she would think about it before making a decision.

And when Wenxin left again, and only Xiao Jinxuan was left in the room, she immediately closed her eyes exhaustedly, and let out a long sigh.

In this sigh, there was her sympathy for what happened to the Gu family, but more of it was a sense of powerlessness full of confusion and doubts about the unpredictable future.

Thinking back to his previous life, Lu Qingge died for love.

Although there was her intervention in this life, Qian Yingluo died first, but Lu Qingge was still burdened by love, and also ended up with an unhappy end.

And let's talk about Gu Qingping, in this life he was an educated and refined person, so in his previous life, the other party must have been talented and educated, so he must not be a mediocre person.

But Xiao Jinxuan suddenly discovered that she had no idea that Gu Qingping existed in her previous life, but she was sure of one thing, that is, Ji Lingfeng was nominated for the imperial examination on the gold list, and the other party was still the same as in this life, there was no such person at all. Participate in.

Moreover, based on Xiao Jinxuan's contact with Gu Qingping, she even dared to assert that if the other party had participated in the imperial examination in his previous life, it is really unknown who will win the number one scholar.

But no matter what the reason was in her previous life, Xiao Jinxuan was keenly aware of one thing, that is, the lives of Gu Qingping's siblings, although the details have changed a little, but the final fate has not changed at all.

The damn ones are still dead, and those who are difficult to enter the official examination still fail to participate in the autumn examination.

A deep sense of powerlessness engulfed Xiao Jinxuan, because she suddenly felt a little dazed, as if she had been reborn, even though she had tried everything possible to change her current situation, she didn't want to live like this. It was as ridiculous and tragic as the previous life.

But brother and sister Gu Qingping, who ended up exactly the same in these two lives, felt like a heavy hammer, and Xiao Jinxuan even felt a little panicked when it hit.

She was really worried, afraid that if she worked hard to the end, she would still be unable to escape the fate of her previous life just like the two brothers and sisters.

As a result, she will marry Ji Lingfeng again, and maybe she will work with Xiao Jinyu again, and it is more likely that she will still die in the hands of these two people in the end, repeating the tragedy of her previous life again.

And if it is said that what worries Xiao Jinxuan the most is not herself, but Zhou Xianyu's current life, whether she will get rid of the fate of the previous life.

Because this man who suddenly broke into her life, although he was still the king of war in his previous life, died young in the 47th year of Emperor Ming, and died under the poisonous arrow when he was nearly 25 years old.

Seeing that it has been 42 years since Emperor Ming, if he followed the trajectory of his previous life, Zhou Xianyu only had five short years left in his life.

And every time she thinks of this, Xiao Jinxuan will feel extremely uneasy in her heart. This matter is like a huge rock, and she can't breathe.

But she didn't even have anyone to confide in, so she could only bear this pain and worry quietly by herself in the sleepless night.

Now seeing that the Gu brothers and sisters failed to escape the fate of the previous life, Xiao Jinxuan would naturally worry that Zhou Xianyu would die as scheduled.

Although she told herself countless times that she must change the fate of the other party, how can anyone ever fight against fate.

If all this is destined to be arranged by God long ago, doesn't it mean that when the other party is about to die five years later, the only thing she can do is to watch this happen, but there is nothing she can do to keep him.

After being reborn, Xiao Jinxuan's character has not only become tougher, she has never given up and compromised lightly, but she really has no way to deal with the unpredictable future, let alone how to change it.

In an instant, she only felt that her heart was very disturbed. Xiao Jinxuan, who has always been able to control her emotions freely and seldom lost her temper, even smashed the cups on the tea table to the ground. It can be seen that she was indeed extremely restless at this moment Uneasy.

And it was almost in Xiao Jinxuan's room that the sound of porcelain breaking was heard. Bai Shu had already pushed the door and walked in anxiously. Seeing that her young lady was fine, she was slightly relieved, but looking at the broken cup on the ground, she still felt worried. asked:
"Miss, what's the matter with you, if you really don't want to see that Miss Bai, I'll find an excuse with Zhu Xin and just ask her to go away, and you won't even drop your glass in such a hurry, it will scratch you." How can I get it myself?"

As soon as the cup fell to the ground, Xiao Jinxuan was woken up from her restless contemplation by the sound of falling. Seeing that Miss Bai was mentioned in Bai Shu's mouth, she immediately asked inexplicably:
"Who are you talking about coming to our Forsythias Courtyard? You're referring to Miss Bailiu who came to our Xiao's house after going through the house with Mrs. Wu."

Nodding in doubt, Bai Shu hurriedly said with a puzzled face:
"Miss, I knocked on the door for a long time just now, and I explained that it was Mrs. Wu's beloved daughter, the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, Bai Liu, who came to visit. Don't tell me you didn't hear a single word of these words? Miss, you But you don't feel well, would you like me to cook some tonic for you?"

Knowing that she was too engrossed in her thoughts just now, she didn't even hear the knock on the door. Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly signaled Bai Shu not to worry, and then stood up.

"The mother and daughter of Mrs. Wu came to me, and now they found me so quickly. When I come to the door, I am a guest. I have no reason to refuse people. I am also very curious. I want to go and see, this Bai family Miss, come here in person, what do you want to talk to me about?"

After saying this, Xiao Jinxuan walked out of the room first, and walked towards the living room again.

Speaking of which, today is only the second day since she returned to the capital after she fell off the cliff. Now that the sun is setting, this day can be regarded as a day for her. Not available.

And when Xiao Jinxuan came to the living room, as soon as she entered, she saw a tall and slender woman with gentle eyebrows and eyes, sitting in the living room with a smile, elegantly,
Although this woman's appearance is not exceptional, but that kind of noble demeanor that seems to be natural, makes people dare not feel slighted when they first see it, and Xiao Jinxuan knows that this must be Mrs. Wu's daughter Bai Liu .

And just at this moment, Bai Liu also saw Xiao Jinxuan who was walking in, and immediately showed a friendly smile on his face, and stood up without pretensions, and greeted her with lotus steps.
