Chapter 24 The Kindergarten Bureau
The wounds on Xue Shu's face have all healed up, and she has been bored in this Hou's mansion for half a month, so she should go out for a walk.

So Xue Shu entrusted Lu Yingyuan to tell Mrs. Zhenbeihou, while she took the little sister's hand and took Qingyu with her. The three of them happily left the Hou's mansion and went straight to Jinyu Street.

On the way, Qin Xiang didn't stop for a moment, and told her about the new things in the capital in the past half month: "Do you still remember the girl from Chu brought into the capital by Prince Xiaoyao?"

"Remember."

"Prince Xiaoyao liked her, so he wanted her to integrate into the circle of the capital as soon as possible, and then arranged for her to match the status of the king. Guess what happened? The king of Xiaoyao, a big man, even brought Miss Chu in and out of those female relatives. "The banquet," Qin Xiang said here, and clicked twice, "What a county king, it is almost a joke in the capital now, but that girl Chu doesn't think there is anything wrong, and she always dresses up every time she attends." To show off in every possible way, stealing the master's limelight, naturally, also offending people all over the place."

"Huh?" Xue Shu raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

The reason why Chu Chu in her previous life was able to smoothly integrate into the circle of the capital was that Prince Xiaoyao walked around in the capital.

At that time, all the people in the capital said that Xiaoyao County King was infatuated, how could his praise become a joke.

Incredible.

"You don't even know that no matter whose banquet the Chu girl goes to, she only wears white clothes, as if she is going to a funeral. I think, if it wasn't for the face of Xiaoyao County King, there would probably be many families connected to each other." They won't let her in!"

It doesn't matter if you wear white, that Miss Chu especially likes to wear a veiled hat to cover her face, and she goes from head to toe white all at once. No matter how well-bred she is, she can't resist such stimulation.

In short, in the past half a month, King Xiaoyao took Chu Chu around, and participated in many banquets, but no one was willing to take them to play, and they were left on the sidelines every time, thinking that Chu Chu was full of talent There is no chance to display it.

Seeing Chu Chu's life is not going well, Xue Shu is very happy, and the smile on her face is uncontrollable.

Qin Xiang only thought that she was bored in the Hou's mansion for too long and was so happy and silly, so she turned her head to look out the window without being surprised.

"Hey—hey, look, isn't that Chuchu? He...isn't Xiaoyao County King?" Qin Xiang's eyes widened, "That's...the eldest son of Changshenghoufu?"

Xue Shu also raised her eyes and saw Chu Chuzheng and Sheng Gu, who were dressed in white, talking and laughing on the street. The two of them seemed to forget themselves, they didn't care about the eyes of others, and their demeanor could even be called intimate. .

It was because of Chu Chu that Sheng Gu came to divorce at the beginning, Xue Shu was not surprised that these two could get together.

To her surprise, the two of them didn't even know how to avoid suspicion.

If this matter got to the ears of Prince Xiaoyao, the Changsheng Hou Mansion would only fall faster, and without the status of the son of the Hou Mansion, I am afraid that this grand story would never be able to catch Chu Chu's eyes again.

I don't know what this Shenggu is thinking about as the heir of the Changsheng Marquis Mansion. He only cares about true love, and he doesn't even care about his family.

Dutiful son.

"The two of them don't seem to be here for shopping..." Qin Xiang observed for a while, then suddenly said, "Why don't we follow them and see what they are going to do!"

"Okay." Coincidentally, Xue Shu was also very interested.

Those two were walking, but Xue Shu and Qin Xiang didn't want to walk, so they just sat in the carriage so big. Fortunately, the coachman of the Hou's mansion also has some skills, so he stayed far away from the first two. It will neither be lost nor easily discovered.

It wasn't until the two of them turned around and turned into a quiet alley that the coachman had no choice but to tighten the reins: "Girl, if you continue to follow, you will be discovered."

Only then did Xue Shu and Qin Xiang poke their heads out to take a look.

The alley in front of me is quiet, with peeling walls and overgrown moss, with almost no traces of life.

"Where is this?" Xue Shu asked suspiciously.

She grew up in the capital, but she didn't know there was such a remote place in it.

"This is Beicheng," the coachman replied respectfully, "There is a Salesian Bureau in this alley, which is dedicated to taking in orphans who have no father or mother."

It was called the Salesian Bureau, but it was just decades ago that a group of widows, old and weak occupied an unowned yard. The Ministry of Industry saw them as pitiful, so they simply gave the land to them and wrote a sign to hang it. After going up, at any rate, it can be regarded as providing them with a place to stay.

What the Ministry of Industry can do is limited, and the usual living expenses still have to be figured out by themselves.

A few years ago, a prince suddenly noticed this land. He originally wanted to drive away all the old and weak in it, but suddenly changed his mind and offered to provide money to take care of their lives, but later gradually There is no more text.

The old people here left one by one, leaving only a group of children, who lived by begging on weekdays.

Xue Shu wanted to ask a few more questions, but Qin Xiang pulled down the curtain and winked at her.

"People in this place are all lowly. Miss Chu is like a fairy in the clouds, how could she fall into such a muddy place." Outside, Sheng Gu's voice came from far and near.

"All people are born equal, so what's the point of being lowly and noble? These children are really pitiful, but it's a pity that I'm alone and weak, so I can't help much." It was Chu Chu's voice.

"Miss Chu is kind-hearted, and she left all the silver on her body, which must be enough for them to spend the winter," Sheng Gu seemed to be sighing, "Miss Chu is delicate, it is better to come to such places as few as possible."

The two people outside gradually walked away until they could no longer hear the sound, the driver outside tapped the wall of the car twice, and the three girls inside were relieved.

"This Miss Chu is so strange." Qingyu frowned, "Just hearing Miss Chu's footsteps, I feel like she wants to leave this place quickly, but what she said..."

"It's strange enough." Qin Xiang said, looking at Xue Shu again, "Shu'er, let's go down and have a look, I've never been here before!"

"That's good." Xue Shu nodded, thinking that if there is anything that can help, it's really hard to endure the long winter.

"Girl," the two girls were about to get out of the car, but the coachman stopped the two of them in embarrassment. Some of the bodies are incomplete, I'm afraid it will scare the girl. If the girl is frightened, the villain will die forever."

Xue Shu and Qin Xiang looked at each other and shook their heads: "No problem. Qingyu, you wait in the car."

She is someone who has lived her entire life, and Qin Xiang has never known what it means to be afraid. Among the three, only Qingyu needs to avoid it.

Qingyu originally wanted to be bold and say that she was not afraid, but when she met her girl's eyes, she could only shrink her neck and nodded: "Then girl, the servant is waiting for you here..."

She knew that if she insisted on going in, if something happened, Xue Shu might have to take care of her instead, which would be really troublesome.

Seeing that Qingyu was obedient, Xue Shu looked away in relief, got out of the car with Qin Xiang, and walked to the Salesian Bureau.
