back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 362 Give the Poor a Hope

After walking two steps, he almost stepped out of the ruined temple. Lu Chengqi suddenly thought of a place that could accommodate these beggars with hands and feet, so he stopped and said without looking back: "If you want to eat , come with me!"

The beggars who had retreated to the ruined temple wall after being frightened by the Pu Dao of the imperial guards thought they were hallucinating.When Lu Chengqi and his party had gone far away, they cheered and trotted to follow.

Lu Chengqi let the old beggar's family get into the carriage and put the stretcher on it.Let a royal guard lead the horse and walk slowly to the north of the city.Another burst of crossing the streets and alleys, attracted countless curious eyes, before arriving outside the orphanage.

Ask the imperial guards to carefully carry the woman out on a stretcher and transport her to the room of the orphanage.After hearing the news, Zhou Zhiruo threw herself into Lu Chengqi's arms in surprise, ignoring what others thought.

Lu Chengqi fondled her hair, while Zhou Zhiruo buried her head in Lu Chengqi's arms, and said like a mosquito, "Why are you here?"

Lu Chengqi said narrowly: "I can't worry about you being alone!"

Zhou Zhiruo didn't appreciate the joke in Lu Chengqi's words, she really believed it, she raised her face in Lu Chengqi's arms, showing a smile immersed in happiness.Their intimacy as if there was no one else around them stunned the people around them.Fortunately, the children are in class now, and they didn't come out.Otherwise, Zhou Zhiruo would really be ashamed to see this kind of unsuitable scene for children.

They didn't notice that inside the orphanage, a pair of red and phoenix eyes were staring at the two hugging each other.Suddenly noticing that there were still people around, Zhou Zhiruo really didn't dare to lift her head from Lu Chengqi's arms.Fortunately, Lu Chengqi was considerate, and after carrying Zhou Zhiruo, who was lying on top of him, into the orphanage, he said softly, "There's no one else, come out."

Zhou Zhiruo was so ashamed that Zhou Zhiruo responded with a fist, Lu Chengqi pretended to beg for mercy and said, "Oh, this is unreasonable, who threw himself into the arms first? How could it be my fault?"

This one-liner, coupled with the exaggerated dodging action, made Zhou Zhiruo chase Lu Chengqi all over the court.After finally stopping, it was Lu Chengqi who was afraid that she would fall, so he hugged her.

Zhou Zhiruo gave him a blank look, ran to the pool to tidy up her appearance, and then asked, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly come to the orphanage?"

Lu Chengqi also put away his playful heart, and said seriously: "Be careful that the walls have ears, I'd better call you a lady."

Zhou Zhiruo felt that this common name was full of novelty, and smiled with spring in the corner of her eyes: "Then I will call you Mr. Lang."

Noticing Zhou Zhiruo's infinite style, Lu Chengqi's heart beat several times.He is not Liu Xiahui, he is in his youth, and his body's reaction is also very honest.I was distracted for a while, finally calmed down, and forced myself to calm down: "My lady, it's like this..." After talking about the misfortune of the old beggar's family, he finally said: "...I saw that the orphanage still needs a The gardener who takes care of the flowers and plants is short of a cook, so I let them come here on my own initiative."

Zhou Zhiruo's sympathy also began to flood, she affirmed Lu Chengqi's approach, and said considerately: "There is a medicine pot in the kitchen of the welfare home, which can be used to decoct medicine. Since Liu Yuyi has diagnosed it, then this medicine is very effective. This It's no problem for my son to settle in the orphanage."

Lu Chengqi smiled awkwardly, and said: "There are more than a dozen beggars outside, all farmers who have lost their land. I thought, isn't there a shortage of craftsmen in the silk factory over there in Songjiang Mansion, so I just send someone to lead them there. Most of them are able-bodied, and if they are given wages, board and lodging, they will be very happy."

After Lu Chengqi finished speaking, he observed Zhou Zhiruo's expression, saw that she was still thinking, and quickly said: "If it doesn't work, there is still a shortage of people in the Royal University to take care of the plants, I..."

Before finishing speaking, Zhou Zhiruo said: "The orphanage and the silk factory are all the idea of ​​the gentleman. The gentleman wants to find a job for the people. As a lady, how can he refute the gentleman? I was just thinking, Only people from the silk factory will come to Chang’an City to deliver samples tomorrow, why not arrange for them to stay in the orphanage today, change their clothes, and go to Songjiang Mansion tomorrow.”

Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo was still so understanding, Lu Chengqi showed a sunny smile and didn't speak.Just when the eyes of the two met and they could express their feelings without any words, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly said in a panic, "Sister Han, are you here?"

Lu Chengqi knew that the sister Han that Zhou Zhiruo was talking about was Han Feng'er. After being frightened, he quickly turned around and found that Han Feng'er was standing in front of the round arch in the small garden, dressed in a strong outfit, looking at Lu Chengqi and Lu Chengqi with her extremely energetic Danfeng eyes. Zhou Zhiruo turned around.

Zhou Zhiruo stabilized her mind and explained in a low voice: "Sister Han was invited by me to teach the children martial arts."

Lu Chengqi knew that although Han Feng'er was young, she was extremely skilled in martial arts, and Zhou Zhiruo knew how to use them well, so it was good.It's just that Han Feng'er is the daughter of Han Boke, and Han Boke's death is inseparable from the late emperor.If Han Feng'er really did something wrong to Zhou Zhiruo, at such a close distance, who can stop it?
Lu Chengqi vindicated Han Boke before, and he didn't know if he could quell Han Fenger's dissatisfaction with the Lu family, and he was full of anxiety.

On the contrary, Han Feng'er was very generous, saluted and said, "Mr. Zhuge has finished his lecture and has gone back. Madam, what about the beggars outside this door?"

Zhou Zhiruo said, "Sister Han, please bring them in, change their clothes, and give them food. They are all poor people, and they will go to Songjiang Prefecture to work in the silk factory tomorrow."

After Han Feng'er understood, she didn't look at Lu Chengqi directly, and walked out of the small garden on her own.Lu Chengqi felt that this Han Feng'er was not simple, and on the surface he didn't take him seriously, but he always had a strange feeling that Han Feng'er seemed to not pay attention to himself for a moment.Thinking of the sword that seemed to have been born out of nowhere not long ago, Lu Chengqi felt chills in his heart.

After Han Feng'er went out, Lu Chengqi didn't recover.Seeing that Lu Chengqi was absent-minded, Zhou Zhiruo was secretly happy and a little bit jealous. An indescribable feeling lingered in her heart, and she asked tentatively: "Why, Mr. Lang has taken a fancy to Sister Han? That's right, Sister Han has such a good figure. , with a good heart and a kind heart, it is reasonable for Mr. Lang to like it."

Lu Chengqi shuddered when he heard the words, he knew women's psychology, if he said he liked it right now, he wouldn't have any good fruit to eat.As soon as Zhou Zhiruo finished speaking, he interjected, "Young lady, I'm joking, I have only one lady in my life, that's enough..."

It's just that when Lu Chengqi said this, he didn't believe it himself.As a generation of emperors, there is only the empress in the royal family, and no one will believe what they say.When Lu Chengqi said this, he suddenly compared Zhou Zhiruo, Han Fenger and Yu Linglong who had only met once in his heart, and found that these three women were either gentle and considerate, or strong in martial arts, or unparalleled in piano skills. It's hard to distinguish Xuan Jin from the strange woman she sees at first sight.As for the words of loving only one person, maybe it is really just lip service...
