Chapter 304 Providing for the Elderly
These two people, the one in front of them is described as upright and honest, with a noble spirit, and his words and actions exude the demeanor of a gentleman.
In their eyes, he seemed to be someone in whom all evil in the world could not hide.
He acted justly and selflessly, and was always full of compassion and care for the weak. He was a role model and example in the eyes of everyone.
The other one is Hua Yunshu, Lu Yunqing's cousin from her maternal uncle's family. Because of his grandmother, he is wicked and unruly in his actions, and his behavior is unpredictable and eccentric.
Feng said he always had a playful smile on his lips and deep eyes, as if he could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
He often acts unconventionally, yet he always manages to achieve unexpected victories at crucial moments, earning him both awe and hatred.
He was also the leader of the Four Evils of the Capital, one of whom was the young prince Cang Lingxuan who was next to him.
The message Feng sent this time said that after the destruction of the Zheng family of the Duke of Wu's mansion, Hua Yunshu was no longer as carefree and unrestrained as before.
He also frequently visits the palace with Prince Lan and the others.
Thinking of his older brother...
He found it hard to imagine what kind of person that was.
Lu Yunqing's lips twitched as she looked at Gu Chenglin, who was lost in thought, her eyes full of calculation: "I've already made contact with Qin Meng."
He divided his men into three teams, one of which had already followed Eleven.
One team is still busy finishing up at Ci'an Hall; the rest of you can go to your home to build a house.
After everything is arranged, have Axi accompany you to choose a place to fire bricks.
Qin Meng has left Ling'an County and is personally recruiting various craftsmen and workers in other counties.
Once you've found a place, I'll arrange someone for you.
After you return, keep an eye on the old housing renovation project in the county.
Gu Chenglin frowned, his tone somewhat cold: "It's just Xiao Jin at home, how can she manage?"
He didn't stand on ceremony and packed his schedule full of things for him, which wouldn't do.
County Magistrate Lu Yunqing put on airs: "Don't you have Shen Qijun and Mengshan in your family?"
Besides, didn't I already send someone over to her?
After he finished speaking, four people came out of the house and stepped forward to bow deeply to Dongfang Jin: "This old servant, this servant, greets Master."
Dongfang Jin didn't dodge, but stared blankly at Lu Yunqing, waiting for him to explain: "What is this?"
These two old women must be palace maids; just standing there, their presence gives one a profound and experienced impression.
They were dressed in exquisite clothes, and although they were old, their demeanor still revealed the strictness and discipline they had maintained in the palace.
The eyes of these two old women were deep, as if they held countless secrets of the palace and the vicissitudes of time.
Every wrinkle on their faces is a testament to the passage of time, and their demeanor exudes an air of quiet authority.
Even when speaking softly, one cannot help but feel respect.
Although the hands of these two nannies are no longer as slender and smooth as they used to be, they are not rough at all.
It seems that after experiencing the ups and downs of the palace, the old women have long since learned to read people's expressions and moods.
They stood there quietly, without showing her the slightest contempt or disdain.
His eyes were calm, suggesting an exceptionally keen insight into human nature.
Think about how they survived the scheming and intrigue of the inner palace to reach their current position, only to be assigned to her side.
Doesn't he harbor resentment?
However, this calm and peaceful atmosphere, coupled with Ruyi's statement that she did not see any malice in them, was still evident.
It is evident that it is quite remarkable to maintain such clarity and composure amidst such a turbulent environment.
Once they step outside the palace gates, the matrons may no longer be the authoritative figures who control palace affairs.
But their temperament and charm are still impossible to ignore.
Dongfang Jin pondered to herself, vaguely feeling that she lacked confidence in whether she could control them.
As you wish, [this is simple. If you want to keep them, you just need to provide for their old age.]
Since the Yu family already has the elderly couple, we won't add two more.
People like them are most worried about getting old and having nowhere to live out their days.
Dongfang Jin swirled her tongue in her mouth, then asked uncertainly, "Is it okay?"
She doesn't care about providing for the elderly until their death; she's quite adept at taking care of them.
What she couldn't do in modern times, she could have done in ancient times.
As you wish, don't worry, it will definitely work. If you don't believe me, just try it. If it doesn't work, they can simply go back to where they came from.
Besides, there are quite a few elderly people at Ci'an Hall, so the nursing home I mentioned is no problem.
Once a school is built next to Ci'an Hall, the orphans will have a place to go, and the elderly will have something to do, right?
Dongfang Jin nodded. "If the elderly are to be cared for, then so be it."
One of the old women stepped forward and bowed to Dongfang Jin: "Master, this old servant's surname is Xu, and I was called Old Servant Xu Mama in the master's house before."
This old servant is in charge of the food, clothing, and daily necessities of the maids in my master's household.
When she left the palace, His Majesty and the Empress told her not to mention to this lady that she came from the palace.
They must not flaunt their power here just because they served the Empress, nor can they bully their master.
If they behave well, perhaps this young master will take care of them in their old age and see them off in their final days.
This is also one of the reasons that attracted her here.
Instead of dying while enjoying immense prestige in the palace and being sent to a mass grave.
Such things are commonplace in the palace. Once you reach their position, none of them have clean hands.
Dongfang Jin understood; this Granny Xu was in charge of the palace maids in the harem.
At this moment, Cang Lingxuan walked to Dongfang Jin's side, tilted his head and pointed to the person next to Xu Mama, raising his eyebrows and saying, "She is the head nanny of my cousin's house, in charge of all matters in my cousin's house."
This is Granny Qiao. Like Granny Xu, the two of them were in charge of different departments within the same organization.
Granny Qiao could be said to be in charge of all matters, big and small, in her sister-in-law's courtyard.
Occasionally, I would be invited by some prominent families in the capital to teach etiquette to women who were of marriageable age.
"Are your cousin and his wife treating you well?"
The two old women and the two middle-aged men all felt uneasy upon hearing the young prince's words.
It seems they underestimated the situation.
Dongfang Jin smiled as she looked at him. Was this guy suddenly appearing to support her?
Is this a veiled way of telling these two old women that she is the person the Emperor and Empress have their eye on?
They're all incredibly capable. Well then, let's give this Granny Qiao to Xian'er.
Since she frequently visits various residences in the capital, she must command a certain level of respect from those people.
That way, when Xian'er goes to the capital, she won't be bullied if she has her by her side.
"Where's yours? Didn't you say you were going to send someone to me?"
Cang Lingxuan said calmly, "Yu Ying was injured while saving Cang Ying. She'll come over once she's recovered."
As he spoke, he blew a whistle in one direction, and suddenly four women in black appeared in the courtyard.
They were as light as swallows and as swift as the wind.
Ruyi said that even the place where they had previously hidden had not been discovered by it.
The four women were dressed in tight black clothes, their graceful figures highlighting their slender and agile physiques, yet their aura contained boundless power and determination.
Her face was veiled, revealing only a pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes that gleamed with calmness and shrewdness, as if they could see through all the illusions of the world.
Her aura was cold and elegant, like a lone plum blossom in the frost, standing proudly alone in the world.
Ruyi, [These four beauties are great, but I regret to inform you that, Sister Jin, only one wants to stay by your side.]
The other three are somewhat dissatisfied, probably feeling that you don't deserve to have them by your side.
The guy's tone was somewhat gloating.
Dongfang Jin laughed. "Oh ho, you can even tell that? Tell me, which one is it?"
[The shortest one on the left, oh, Sister Jin, aren't you lazy? This one still has the highest fighting ability among these four.]
