Many times, Xiao Heng felt that there was an indescribable sense of tacit understanding and closeness between him and Su Yao. No matter what he was thinking, as long as he gave Su Yao a hint, she would understand it all.
It feels so good to have the other person understand what you want to say.
After talking about this topic with Su Yao, Xiao Heng laughed and said, "Everything is ready. When the soldiers are almost done with their training, it's time to start the war. We will be able to return to Beijing around this time next year."
He paused, and without hiding anything, he looked at Su Yao very straightforwardly: "I'm sure you've heard about the talent show in the capital. Don't be nervous. The Royal Grandfather is holding the talent show this time for Uncle Five and the others, and I'm not among them. As for me... I've already written a letter to the Royal Grandfather to express my feelings."
Although Xiao Heng had said before that he would ask Emperor Yuanfeng for a marriage, Su Yao did not expect that he would tell Emperor Yuanfeng about this matter so quickly and without hesitation, so he could not help but be a little surprised: "So soon?"
"Not happy anymore." Xiao Heng smiled slightly: "I don't know how other people feel, but when I like someone, I want to take good care of her emotions and do everything to the best of my ability. I can tell everyone everything. This is how I am now. As long as you want to know and as long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."
I don't want even the slightest possibility of misunderstanding to happen.
What else could Su Yao say
This man has said a thousand times that he is different, but his difference is so obvious, and he does not hide his preference for her. There are so many people in this world, but he is the only one who regards her as unique and precious. This is more worthy of her happiness than any sweet words.
She smiled.
They had only been talking for a while when Su Rong came over. He had been able to ignore the fact that Xiao Heng ran back and tried to get close to Su Yao whenever he had the chance - but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't really beat the Crown Prince out with a stick, could he
He rolled his eyes and said to Xiao Heng, "Lord Liao wants to see you about something. It should be about the property of Councillor Yang and General Fu."
They said that they would divide the property of Councillor Yang and General Fu equally among the local soldiers, but before that, sorting out their property was also a big project. I believe that the staff of the Governor's Office have already figured it out.
Since he had something important to do, Xiao Heng nodded and was about to leave. Before he left, he thought of something, so he said, "Oh, by the way, Yaoyao, there is one more thing... There are some girls among the native military households whose parents have both passed away and have no family to take care of them. They are still very young, and I don't know how to place them. Can you think of a way?"
Su Yao never thought that having nothing to do was a good thing. Having something to do was more in line with her personality.
She raised an eyebrow and agreed.
Su Rong poked his sister's forehead with some dissatisfaction: "You, you just listen to whatever others say, and you don't have any ideas at all!"
Su Yao disagreed with this and looked at his elder brother: "I remember that elder brother said to Sister Fenfen..."
When Su Rong mentioned Wang Yuerong, his expression became gentle, and he snorted, "How can this be compared? I am devoted to you, Sister Fenfen."
"Why can't we compare?" Su Yao looked at him with a smile: "Sister Fenfen is not an ordinary girl, but I think my brother listens to her. She likes riding horses and staying at the farm. Isn't my brother very supportive of her?"
Su Rong stopped arguing with her. He sighed and said that girls are outgoing. He then told her about the situations of those girls: "They are all very young..." He paused before continuing: "The older ones can't stay until this age."
How could the family afford to support an idler when they were so poor and destitute? The older girls were all sold to brothels.
Some even sell themselves.
Even Su Rong felt heavy in his heart and very uncomfortable these days.
Su Yao also fell silent, understanding what Su Rong meant.
But when she saw those girls, she couldn't help but be shocked.
After the shock comes sadness.
Most of these girls were only about six or seven years old, and some were even only two or three years old. Some were held in the arms of older children. They were all thin without exception, looking bony, with almost no flesh on their bodies and sunken cheeks.
She looked at such a large group of children and tears welled up in her eyes.
Su Rong knew she was sad, so he lowered his voice and said, "These are the lucky ones. There are many who could not survive. Yaoyao, we really don't know how to place so many children. After all, the local people are poor, and we can't let them adopt them out of kindness."
Besides, even if they were given the money, they might not be able to use it.
Su Yao hummed and quickly reacted.
Su Yao went down and touched a girl's head, then sighed deeply.
The hair of these children was dry and dark yellow, and was covered with lice. How could children without parents care about being beautiful? As Su Rong said, being able to survive was already a blessing.
She turned around and asked Ruan Xiaojiu and the others who had just arrived to ask Mrs. Liao for some maids to come over, count the number of people first, and then give them a wash.
We can't let them stay in such tattered clothes.
Su Rong was dissatisfied before, not because he really disliked the job, but mainly because he felt that the job was difficult.
Now seeing Su Yao letting people go, he sighed: "Even so, what will they do in the future? So many people, there must be a place to go."
It is too difficult for the Governor's Office to support these people.
Su Yao thought about it seriously, but couldn't think of any solution for a while. After all, at a glance, there were at least several hundred people in the crowd.
Xiao Heng was really rude enough to bring so many people back at once.
She smiled bitterly. She was afraid that now it was not just her who had to worry about it. The chef in the Governor's Mansion would be extremely busy as well.
Fortunately, these girls had all suffered a lot since childhood, so Su Yao first asked Yan Cao to get some dry food to fill their stomachs. They were actually very happy and ate happily. One little girl choked, and Su Yao was startled. He picked her up and patted her back repeatedly. He was relieved to see that she was just choked and had swallowed the food.
The more this happened, the more uncomfortable she felt. Now she finally understood why Xiao Heng had so many emotions when he went out.
Faced with these children, who would not hope for peace in the world
Some people will do anything to get that position, even at the cost of selling out the country. How can such people have the qualifications to get involved in the country
