Heir and wife

Chapter 156

Before Luo Weitong could think deeply, why Yuan Ke, who lived in seclusion in the Shenshan College in poverty since he was a child, was so familiar with the orphaned children of the Salesian Bureau.

With the swaying, surrounded by many low one-story houses, the wooden door of the brick house that looked particularly solemn opened, and a middle-aged man walked out of the slightly dark main room.After he took two steps into the sunlight, Luo Weitong was stunned when he recognized his appearance.

"The liquor dealer..."

"What is Jiaojiao talking about?"

Zhou Yuanke leaned forward with a handsome face, asked in a low voice and gently, and at the same time looked at the visitor from the corner of his eye.The back mountain is where the teacher's gate is located. He practiced martial arts here when he was young, so he is naturally familiar with the manager of the Salesian Bureau.

This person looks serious on the face, and he is strict in his actions, but in his heart there is a kind of compassion that the scholar-bureaucrats do not often have.If not, His Majesty would not have entrusted him to take care of the Salesian Bureau under his nose.Gai's place seems to be inconspicuous, but it can support so many orphans without parents, and the daily consumption of money, rice and food is like running water, and even a little thought can easily fill one's own pocket and make a fortune.

But in these years, he has managed everything well and kept himself clean.But unexpectedly, at this moment, he looked at the little girl beside him with a surprised expression, and then dodged.

Not only Zhou Yuanke saw his dodge, but Luo Weitong also saw it clearly, and the three-point uncertainty in his heart because of the wrong location and timing suddenly became real.

"Master Ninth, I didn't expect it to be you."

Luo Weitong didn't know the name of the wine merchant. He only knew that every year during the sultry rainy season in Huizhou, when the weather gradually cooled, a caravan led by a middle-aged man would come from afar to transport away the peach blossom wine fermented in the temple for a summer. .

This incident has existed since as long as she can remember, when she was young, she hated the old monk for teasing her in every possible way and even robbing her of snacks, and once almost exposed the old story of peach blossom stuffing.Although the wine is so expensive, it is just the peach blossoms and leaves of Houshan that the old monk scratched up with a broom when he had nothing to do.

A bunch of pink and tender peach blossom leaves were thrown into the brewing tank without even washing it, and it was unknown whether there were bugs in it.Such a dirty thing is not worth such a high price.

Unexpectedly, when she just started, she was caught straight by the old monk and punished for three days to copy the scriptures. When she was released, the wine caravan had already left the mountain temple.At that time, she was still secretly slandering the old monk for being black-hearted and having no Buddhist compassion at all. As she grew up with this idea year after year, she realized that the life of the old monk was not considered a luxury, and after she became sensible, she respected her teacher more and more, so she didn't do it any more. mentioned this.

Of course, the main reason is that the old monk sat on the ground without any image and cried: You damn girl, you were born to be an official lady, and you still have a real God of Wealth at home.I keep such a big temple for my teacher, and provide food, drink, and sleep for such a big family of monks. If I don’t do something else, I can’t take you to the streets for alms.It's nice to say beggars, but then you will be that little beggar.

While crying and telling him that he still didn't forget to steal a few snacks, when she realized that the plate had already been emptied, there was another chase between master and apprentice.

Collecting his thoughts, Luo Weitong showed helplessness.Some truths hidden under the appearance made her dumbfounded.Just like back then when she thought that the God of Wealth was her mother, she presided over the middle school so neatly. After entering Jinling, she found out that her grandfather, who had been quiet for more than ten years, was the real big thick legs.

But now the truth about peach blossom wine is about to come out, why a bottle of gold wine is continuously pulled out of the temple gate, but gold and silver mountains are never seen in the temple.And why there are only a few young monks in the temple, but the old monk yells that there is such a big family to support.

In the Salesian Bureau, children came running from all directions, surrounding Yuan Ke and Master Jiu.They all had no father or mother, their faces were rosy, and their expressions were quite happy, almost all of them retained the innocence that a child should have.Hearing Tiannuo's chirping, the corners of Luo Weitong's lips couldn't stop rising.

At this moment, the old monk became a veritable eminent monk in her heart—Master Hongzhen.

"Miss Luo, take a step to speak."

Leaving the child to Yuan Ke, Master Jiu rushed out of the encirclement and whispered in her ear.

Luo Weitong subconsciously looked at Zhou Yuanke, but he came over, pulled the rein from her hand, and nodded to her without asking any reason.It was strange to say that even though the two had only met a few times, she subconsciously trusted him and followed his wishes.

Zhou Yuanke was very familiar with this Salesian Bureau. Not only did he walk well with his eyes closed, but even if he closed his five senses, he would walk without the slightest deviation.

After distributing maltose in the shape of various small animals in the baggage to the children, and arguing with them for a while, he finally found time to enter the main room.It is said to be the main room, but it is actually the school of the Salesian Bureau.The school here is not like the Guozijian, which meticulously recruits talents from all over the world for the collection of classics and history to cultivate the pillars of the country. Instead, both boys and girls can enter and teach some simple arithmetic and literacy.
