After rebirth, she took off with her cubs in space
Chapter 168 The Storm is Coming
The emperor was speechless after hearing this, but in order to show his support, he ordered the prince to donate a sum of money. With the prince taking the lead, the ministers ordered their wives to donate money.
Liu Rouniang wrote down the donations one by one and pasted them on the notice board of Jigu Hall so that all the children who benefited from it would remember who they had received the favor from. As for choosing someone to take care of them, Rouniang didn't have anyone suitable at the moment, but she told the matter to Old Lady Liu.
Old Lady Liu recommended two women, Madam Huang and Madam Hong, to her. Both were old friends of Madam Liu. They were tall and strong, spoke in a rough voice, looked very fierce, but had a soft heart. However, Liu Rouniang believed them and handed over the management of the villa to them.
The rest of the donations are naturally used for the children’s food, clothing, housing and transportation. The Jigutang is divided into male and female sections.
Huang Ma and Hong Ma were in charge of their respective areas. Of course, Liu Runiang did not have maids or servants, but she had two extra guards to take care of any trouble.
Besides that, the housekeeper would come over to check from time to time. Of course, he would also bring the accounts. In addition to the accounts of the Princess's Mansion, the accountant also had to record the income and expenses of the villa. Every item had to be recorded clearly. Everything was complete.
Now, everything is ready, except for the child.
This month passed like this, and Li Rouniang was thinking that her publicity was very effective. She also asked people to walk around the place where the little beggar lived that day, and no such child was seen again.
Adult beggars who were lazy and idle and wanted to go to the Jigutang were rejected by Liu Rouniang because she only accepted children who had lost their parents. She would not accept those who had relatives to rely on, after all, it would encourage some lazy people to give birth to children without raising them, which would ruin her original intention.
"Princess, no one has come to visit for a month. Maybe there aren't so many children in the capital? We might as well look outside." Mingyue suggested.
Rouniang nodded. At this moment, the doorman brought word that a brother and sister had come from Nanny Huang's place.
Rouniang was very happy to hear this and said to Chunhong, "Let's go and take a look."
Although it was sad to have a helpless child, it was comforting that her Jigutang finally had a child.
Soon they arrived at Jigu Hall and saw two children standing there. They looked very frail from a distance. Liu Rouniang got off the carriage and walked over to take a closer look. They turned out to be acquaintances.
It was none other than the beggar brother and sister. When the little beggar saw Liu Runiang, he quickly pulled his sister and said, "This is the benefactor I told you about. Kneel down and kowtow!"
The two siblings knelt down and kowtowed to Rou Niang. The little beggar said, "Thank you for saving my life, benefactor. I didn't expect to see you here." He paused, his eyes turned, and said, "This is the place where you are. My brother and I were originally helpless, and we heard about this place and wanted to come here to try our luck."
Rouniang nodded and said, "Yes, this is my place. You two brothers and sisters can stay here peacefully. If you want to learn something in the future, just tell the two maids. They will arrange for you to learn some life skills. When you turn 16, you can leave here and live on your own. As I said, I don't need you two to do anything for me. I just hope that when you grow up and have the ability, you can pass on this kindness to those in need!"
The little beggar was extremely moved. Li Rouniang asked again, "By the way, I haven't asked you your names in the two times we've met."
The little beggar said: "My name is Shen Feng, and this is my sister Shen Yu."
Rouniang nodded and said, "Okay. Xiaofeng, Xiaoyu, you can stay here peacefully."
Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu both nodded obediently. Xiaofeng was already eight years old this year, and Xiaoyu was only five years old, but they both tried their best to help the two maids do what they could, such as lighting the fire, washing dishes, and cutting vegetables. Because there were not many people, they didn't need to do a lot of work, but Maid Huang and Maid Hong didn't spoil them by not doing anything. After all, they were not destined to be rich young masters, so they couldn't develop such bad habits.
The life skills they develop now will become the foundation of their future lives.
The two children seemed to have suffered a lot, and were very well-behaved. They never complained about anything they did. At first, they didn't dare to eat freely. Nanny Huang and Nanny Hong looked ferocious, and Xiaoyu was also a little scared.
Once she accidentally scratched her hand, and Aunt Hong scolded her coldly while applying medicine and bandaging her. Although Xiaoyu was young, she had experienced too many so-called good and bad people. Some people looked compassionate, but when no one was around, they beat her up, mocked her, and bullied her.
Some people may look ferocious, but they will also shove a hot steamed bun into her mouth viciously.
So Xiaoyu has understood this saying since she was a child: Don't judge a book by its cover. From that moment on, Xiaoyu felt that Aunt Hong was the best person in the world. Even though she was still fierce to her, in Xiaoyu's heart, she was a good person.
The breeze was stronger than the rain. After two days of getting along, it was clear that the two maids were cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Although they spoke rudely to the brother and sister and asked them to do this and that, they only did things that they could do. They had clean clothes to wear and hot soup and rice to eat, and they did not bully them. In this respect, these two maids were not bad.
In his spare time, Xiaofeng would try to please the two guards to learn Kung Fu. Actually, the two guards were guarding here, and it was boring with few people. Rou Niang also said that anyone who wanted to learn could be taught, so the two of them just passed the time to teach Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu. The two of them also studied seriously. Xiaoyu was a girl and was not interested in this, but as the saying goes. It is good to have many skills. After experiencing so many sad things, naturally, they want to stand up quickly.
Rouniang felt distressed when she heard the two children's performance, but she knew that this was all she could give. She could also take the two children to the princess's mansion and let them enjoy a life of luxury, but that was not her original intention. She wanted them to stand on their own feet instead of relying on her.
If she relied on her, she might become the second Zhao Daya or Zhao Xiu in the future. She didn't want that.
"Princess, don't you ask about their past?" Mingyue asked.
"Don't ask. Their past has nothing to do with us. I just want to help some helpless children. If they have the ability to leave one day, they can leave. I won't stop them. Everyone has their own way to go. I just lend a hand and plant a seed of kindness in their hearts. I hope it will sprout and bloom one day."
