Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 464 Ci'an Hall

"Will Brother Tai really be fine?" Luo Yunrui mumbled to herself with her head lowered on the carriage back to the capital.

Qin Shaotian sighed slightly in his heart, even though the monk said with certainty just now, he still had no idea, presumably Luo Yunrui was the same, right?
Wealthy life...

As a parent, sometimes what you want is the safety and health of your children, not the so-called monstrous wealth.

"Rui'er, don't worry, Tai Ge'er is auspicious, and will return to us safely." Although Qin Shaotian didn't know what to do, what Qin Shaotian said was comforting.He knew very well that although two months had passed, Luo Yunrui still had hope in her heart.I hope that one day, Tai Geer can return safely...

"Shaotian, I want to go to Ci'an Hall."

Unexpectedly, after being silent for a long time, Luo Yunrui actually said this sentence.

Qin Shaotian was a little surprised, but he didn't object.Ci'an Hall was the place where he had the greatest hope, so he even sent a servant to guard there all day long, and whenever there were new children brought in, he would check them one by one.If there is any news, it will be sent back to the Qin family as soon as possible.

After entering the capital, the coachman did not go back to Qin's house directly, but went to Ci'an Hall first.

There are three Ci'an Churches in the capital, and this is the one closest to the city gate.

"This is the Ci'an Hall. Basically, it needs to be allocated by the imperial court. Sometimes some people will subsidize some, but the amount is not much."

Places like Ci'an Hall are definitely the last place to save lives for the poor.But for big families, it's tasteless. They probably never thought that their old people or children would come to this kind of place, so for big families, even if they had money, they would not send them here.

If it was before Tai Ge'er's accident, Luo Yunrui would never have thought that she would say hello to Ci'an Hall one day, and what she didn't expect was the situation of Ci'an Hall.

As a place to house the elderly, widows and orphans, even with the appropriation from the imperial court and money from wealthy families, the conditions in Ci'an Hall are still not that good.

Although Luo Yunrui can be considered a person with rich experience, no matter in the previous life or the present life, even in the most difficult period of the previous life, the Luo family never treated her badly in terms of basic necessities of life.Those fashionable and luxurious clothes and jewelry may not be her turn, but she has never had enough food and clothing to keep warm. Even in her previous life, her body and bones were always bad, and she had to take a lot of expensive tonics every day.

"Ci'an Hall is like this?"

With an unbelievable expression on her face, Luo Yunrui felt a little unstoppable just looking at it from a distance.In fact, God still treats her well, even though she thought she was born to suffer, but in fact there are too many people in this world who are more pitiful than her.

Qin Shaotian has been paying attention to Luo Yunrui's expression. Seeing her being so shocked, he comforted her: "The capital city is considered good. As for the streets, there are very few beggars. Those who are over 15 years old or under [-] years old, You can all have a good time here.”

"Is that good?"

Looking at the surrounding houses, the houses here are all wooden, and they are of the kind that look very old.It's clean, but it's fairly clean. Whether it's an old man or a child, since they have food and shelter, they will do what they can.But it can be called clean and tidy at best.Most of the clothes on the old people and children were patched.

When Luo Yunrui and the others arrived, some people had already started eating.There are two meals a day here, usually one meal in the morning and one meal in the evening, and they can go to bed soon after the second meal. After all, there is no lamp oil here for them to do things at night.In the middle of the day, there is absolutely no refreshment, let alone candied snacks, even fresh fruits are rare.

"That's right, here in the capital...you have to pay attention after all. If you've been to Luzhou City, you'll know what it means to be terrible."

Although Qin Shaotian didn't know much about Ci'an Hall, what he said was true.

Whether it is public security or the cleanliness of the streets, no place can compare with the capital.That's because in the capital, even though the Holy Majesty will not leave the palace, there are still many royal families who will come out for a walk.It is also because those "superficial skills" in the capital are absolutely the best.

"Shaotian, I want to give them some money."

"Yes." Qin Shaotian agreed without hesitation, although there are not many people in the three Ci'an halls in the capital, but in fact the cost is not much.Generally speaking, young children will be looked after by those old people who can move, and they will do the work here by themselves, and all they need is some food, drink and the cheapest linen clothes.

There is one more thing that Qin Shaotian didn't tell Luo Yunrui.As long as the children in Ci'an Hall are healthy, they will be taken away when they are raised until they are five or six years old.Whether it is a family without children who wants a child to take care of them, or a wealthy family who wants to find a maid, as long as they pay a small amount of firewood, rice, oil, salt, or cloth, they can take the child away.

Of course, it is up to the child whether to leave or not. If he wants to leave, he can;

There is no need to tell Luo Yunrui these inside stories.

"Rui'er, don't worry. Didn't the signature say that? Meeting a nobleman in Mayday... It's already May now, maybe wait a little longer, and Brother Tai will be back."

Luo Yunrui nodded silently, turned and left Ci'an Hall without saying anything.Seeing this, Qin Shaotian didn't take her to the other two, but went straight back to Qin's house.

Everything in the Qin family is as usual, and it seems to be completely different from before.

Tai Geer is the second child in the family, he is a bit naughty on weekdays, his knowledge is not as good as Jie Geer, and he is not as stable as Jie Geer.Although Qin Shaotian thought he was impartial, subconsciously he still valued Jie Geer as the eldest son.As for Luo Yunrui, after all, because Brother Hao is young and has a sticky personality, she always pays more attention to Brother Hao on weekdays.

But it was this Brother Tai who was usually slightly ignored by his parents. After he got lost, the Qin family almost collapsed.

There is no child who is not the darling of their parents, and no parent is willing to lose any child, even if he has been neglected for a while.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Luo Yunrui and his wife returned to Qin's house, before they could rush to the second gate, the butler came trotting over to answer.After careful questioning, it was the Emperor Taizu who ordered Qin Shaotian to be summoned!
Qin Shaotian was extremely shocked. He had some contacts in the capital, but he had nothing to do with the royal family, let alone the emperor Taizu.But now it was not the time for him to think about it, so he hurried back and changed his clothes. Fortunately, he was a man, so he changed his clothes very quickly.

Watching Qin Shaotian leave, Luo Yunrui's mind became a complete mess.No matter how rich her experience was, she grew up in a three-acre land in the back house, and she didn't even know much about the officialdom, let alone the royal family.

Not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing this time, Luo Yunrui couldn't calm down at all, so she went to the old lady of the Qin family.

"The Emperor Taizu summoned?"

The old lady of the Qin family was also taken aback. In the past, she had come into contact with the wives and mistresses of some high-ranking officials, and even made friends with the daughter-in-law of the princess.But this Great Ancestor Emperor...

Luo Yunrui's original intention was to find someone to discuss countermeasures, or simply to talk to the elders so that she could feel more at ease, but she didn't want the old lady of the Qin family to worry with her.Seeing this, she immediately changed the subject and talked about the signature that was drawn today.

This topic made the old lady of the Qin family feel better, but only slightly.To put it bluntly, such things as signing documents are to give people psychological comfort, thinking that they will get better in the future, but the actual effect is completely useless.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said some things and comforted each other for a while, but both of them knew in their hearts that these words were just for reassurance. Let’s not mention Brother Tai’s matter for now. He has been missing for two months. It's really hard to say, but Qin Shaotian...

The dinner has been set, but neither of them can eat it.Luo Yunrui persuaded her for a while, but she only let the old lady of the Qin family drink a bowl of soup. At this time, she also regretted it a little. If she had known this, it would be better to press the matter first, rather than worrying about it together.But that being said, Luo Yunrui actually understands that two people worrying together means that there is someone else to accompany her. If she is left alone in the room waiting for Qin Shaotian, she will probably feel even more uncomfortable.

But no one thought that the wait would last for two hours, seeing that the curfew time had come, and the sky outside had already completely darkened.Although the sky is good today, the bright moonlight and the sky full of stars will not make people feel like they can't see their fingers.

But, it's really late at night.

"Mother, I'll wait outside the second gate."

Two months ago, she lost her beloved Tai Geer, and there is no news about him so far, and she can no longer admit any blows anyway.Although she also understood that with Qin Shaotian's personality, it was impossible to do things that would annoy the Emperor Taizu, especially recently, Qin Shaotian had asked for leave from Taichang Temple, so it was impossible for him to make mistakes in official affairs.

But even so, before seeing Qin Shaotian return safely, Luo Yunrui couldn't feel at ease no matter what.

The old lady of the Qin family sighed heavily, but didn't speak, she just got up and went outside the second door with Luo Yunrui.If Brother Tai is just lost and still has the hope of coming back, then Qin Shaotian absolutely cannot have any accidents.

Fortunately, the old man took good care of the Qin family. Not long after they arrived outside the second gate, Qin Shaotian came back.
