Chapter 35: Do One Kindness Every Day

It was winter, and there was not much scenery along the way. Gu Qingyou lacked interest, but before closing the door, he saw a group of gray shadows parked on the side of the road not far ahead.

As the carriage approached, I gradually saw the outline of an old man in sixties, but his body was bent and he carried a huge sack on his back, so he looked like a sphere from a distance.

Looking at the past curiously, in such a cold day, the old man was wearing very thin clothes, and his clothes were covered with patches. His gray hair made his complexion even darker, and his whole body was crumbling in the cold wind.

Seeing a funeral convoy passing by, he struggled to move and leaned against a dead tree on the side of the road to make way.

Gu Qingyou looked up at the sky, it was gloomy and it might rain at any time, and the place was deserted, so he didn't know where the old man was going.

After thinking for a while, he recruited Zhang Yong who was accompanying him and said, "Butler Zhang, can I trouble you to send someone to ask, what does the old man do?"

Naturally, Zhang Yong also saw the old man, he responded to the words, and walked over in person, and after a while, he came back and reported: "Young Madam, the old farmer is going to the city to sell field potatoes."

Field potatoes?Isn't that sweet potato?Such a big bag weighed nearly a hundred catties at least, probably heavier than that old man, no wonder he had to stop after taking two steps.

Look at the sky, when he moves to the city, it will be midnight.

At such an old age, there was no one to help her when she went out. Looking pitiful, Gu Qingyou said, "I wonder if Steward Zhang has any money? Can you buy him sweet potatoes? I'll make it up for you later."

"No, no, no, the young lady wants to eat, so the villain just goes and buys it." Zhang Yong waved his hands repeatedly.

He knew that the Young Madam was short of money, so for a few copper coins, he had the right to repay her for excused him in the morning.

Thinking of what he saw just now, he reminded him kindly: "Young madam, his sweet potatoes grow in mountains and are small in size, and there has been a lot of rain these days, so they probably don't taste very good. Why don't you bear with it and I'll let you Let me go to the market to choose some good ones?"

"No, go and see how much he has, buy them all and let the old man go home early!"

Zhang Yong couldn't help being ashamed of his own thoughts, he hurriedly brought two servants over to buy all the sweet potatoes, and pointed to the carriage and said something.

The old man was surprised at first, then bowed gratefully, and finally knelt down in the direction of the carriage.

But such a trivial matter, how could it be such a great gift, Gu Qingyou quickly motioned for Zhang Yong to help the old man up, and retracted his head back.

"Ah~ Ah Choo!"

"Close the door quickly, it's time to catch a cold later."

Xue Lan threw the blanket from the car to her, and Gu Qingyou took it and put it on, and then said in a nasal voice: "I knew it was so cold, I would have packed more clothes inside."

Xue Lan said: "When you go down later, you will not be cold if you hide a hand stove on your body."

"Don't, it will be bad if someone sees it."

Gu Qingyou didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she reached out to close the car door, just in time to see the tall figure on the horse in front again.

It’s less than ten degrees below zero outside. If he’s walking, it’s fine. He’s riding a horse, and his hands are probably already frozen~
Looking back at his mother, Gu Qingyou poked his head out and whispered, "Second Young Master, do you want to come in and warm up?"

Song Hengye turned his head and nodded slightly at her: "No need, thank you, Young Madam, for your kindness."

She couldn't say anything more, she gently closed the door of the carriage, and couldn't help saying: "What a pity."

Xue Lan understood her subtext, and said with emotion: "It's a pity, if we are just outsiders, Hengye is actually the best candidate for the son!"
