It was mid-afternoon, and the sound of reading and children's play could be heard in the house. Han Yun walked into the gate and looked inside. He saw more than a dozen children in the courtyard, some playing, some practicing martial arts, and some working on fetching water.
In the classroom in the house, there are also rows of children studying with their teacher. The clean and comfortable courtyard, the neat and warm house, and the teacher who specializes in teaching children. If Qi Xiaoyu saw this scene, he would definitely be envious.
This kind of living conditions is something that the children of Yumenguan cannot even imagine. Several children who were playing inside saw Han Yun coming in with Xin'er in his arms. They greeted her enthusiastically and called Xin'er's name with a smile.
And Xin'er also responded happily. Han Yun put Xin'er on the ground, and Xin'er ran to find them.
Those children were all boys, the youngest was seven or eight years old, and the oldest was only eleven or twelve years old. They were wearing small disciple robes. They were not clean, but they were still complete.
"Xin'er, Xin'er, have you brought any money today?" the oldest boy asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Xin'er shook her head in disappointment. The boy's face changed slightly, then he glanced at Han Yun, and immediately smiled again,
"It doesn't matter. We are willing to play with you even if you don't have money. We are good friends." Han Yun frowned when he heard this. Now Xiner has to pay money to make friends?
"Really?" Xin'er raised her chubby little face, her two big eyes sparkling, and she said with a milky voice,
"You guys are so kind." Han Yun turned to Liang Chao and asked in a low voice,
"Did Xin'er's money just go to them?" Liang Chao shook his head.
"Not all of it, some of it is for the other children in Fuze Garden."
"Oh, she has become a money-splitting boy." Han Yun chuckled. At this time, a steward came in and saw a group of young men and women standing at the door. He was startled, thinking that they were playboys. Troublemaker.
After all, Han Yun and others were wearing casual clothes. Han Yun was wearing a white robe and a white cape, and the others were not wearing Yin Yang Sect disciples' Taoist robes.
They are gorgeously dressed and have an extraordinary appearance, and at first glance they look like wealthy people. Even Peng Cheng, the poorest man, had saved a lot of money after working in Yunwu Hall for a year, so that he could not even afford decent clothes.
"You gentlemen and ladies, what are you doing?" The middle-aged steward came over and asked with a frown.
"Let's just come over and take a look. Could you please ask the manager a question." Han Yun pointed to the children playing with Xiner,
"Were those children wearing sect disciples' Taoist robes also children from Fuze Garden before?" The steward glanced at the children, shook his head and said,
"No, they just come here occasionally to play, have a meal, or take a nap. The children who join the sect in Fuze Garden basically have their own residence and canteen. Occasionally, some sensible children will We used our hard-earned money to repay the garden, but we all declined. Why would they come to the garden to eat and drink again? It’s just these few children who will come.”
"Since they are not the children of Fuze Garden, why are they kept here?" Seeing Han Yun asking directly like an official, the steward thought to himself that some big shot must be here to inspect.
He had no confidence in his heart and was afraid of making mistakes, so he could only answer honestly,
"They are just poor children from the surrounding villages. For a meal, as long as they have a few bites, just eat it."
"Oh, that's it. Sir Steward, you are really kind-hearted, I admire you." Han Yun smiled and then asked,
"Is there any deduction in the money distributed by the sect to Fuze Garden? Or maybe the amount distributed is too little, which is not enough for the children's daily needs. If you have any problems, sir, just tell me, I can solve it It will be solved.”
"How can there be deductions? We are directly issued by the sect, and we are not exploited by the imperial court. Besides, our sect has a big business. Who can value the small money from Fuze Garden? As for the children's It must be enough for daily necessities. I won’t tell you. If you look at the environment and look at the food in the kitchen, it will prove that it is enough.”
"Oh, in that case, why do your children here take Xiao Yuxin's money?" Han Yun's eyes turned cold.
"We occasionally accept donations from well-wishers outside, and we welcome all comers." The steward answered frankly, without evading his gaze.
"I understand, thank you, steward." Han Yun nodded and walked forward, followed by everyone behind him. Arriving in front of Xiao Yuxin, Han Yun took her hand and waved to the oldest boy, asking him to come over.
"Senior brother, are you calling me?" Several young disciples gathered around.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Liu Kai."
"Where do you live? Are your parents still at home?"
"I live in a mountain village outside, and my parents are still here." The young disciples looked at Han Yun curiously. Han Yun nodded and asked,
"You are young and studying martial arts in the sect. Doesn't your family support you with some money?"
"Don't ask for help. I have a monthly salary of two taels of silver, which is enough to spend." The child said proudly.
"Oh, is there an older disciple who is blackmailing you for your money?"
"No, there is no one in our Yin Yang Sect who extorts money." "Then if that's the case... why do you still take Xiao Yuxin's money?"
"I..." The child choked for a moment, then continued,
"We are good friends. I don't have enough money to spend, so it's normal for her to lend me a little."
"But you still spent enough money just now." Han Yun pointed at Peng Cheng behind him.
"He is a child from a mountain village just like you. He has been in the sect for three or four years and can still save twenty or thirty taels of silver while ensuring that he has enough food and clothing. Why don't you have enough money to spend?"
"I..." the child said angrily,
"Is it enough to have enough food and clothing? I also want to be like other people's children, eat better, wear better, and play better. I am a child in a mountain village, my family is poor, and I can't compare with them. , Yuxin is so rich, what's wrong with giving me some? Don't poor people like us deserve help?" After speaking, he looked at Han Yun up and down and said,
"Senior brother, I see that you are so well-dressed and wearing gold and jade. You must be very rich. You are a kind-hearted person, so please help us poor children. We don't want much, just a few dozen Just two taels of silver. This amount of money is nothing to you, but it can greatly improve our lives. You are so rich, you will definitely not be stingy with this small amount of money." Looking at the other party.
"I'm poor, I'm justified, you're rich, you deserve it", Han Yun even laughed angrily. Did you kidnap Xiao Yuxin morally, and now you want to kidnap me again?
Do you really think that Qing Lao Mo is made of mud?
