More and more people were handing invitations to Xu Shichu. She was confused at first because she didn't know the reason. But when several maids heard the maids who were out shopping talking about the rumors about champagne and the Marquis of Zhen'an, they realized that her wife had been involved again. A hit.
Xu Shichu could already imagine that the noise caused by Chambord Guo must be bigger than the previous exotic flowers and plants. If she stayed in the house, she would be even more uneasy.
So she patted her head and said, "Spring has just begun and the weather is getting warmer. Let's go somewhere else to play?"
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Zhaozhao immediately clapped his hands and cheered for his aunt with a smile, "I want to play!"
"You can say whatever I say, brat. You have to ride a carriage every day when you go out and sleep in the open air. You are definitely not as comfortable at home. Aren't you afraid of hardship?" Xu Shichu pinched the little chubby little nose and said.
"I am not afraid of hardship. Master Wu said that I am a man, and a man is not afraid of hardship!" Xiao Zhaozhao said proudly with his little chest raised.
Master Wu was specially invited to teach Du Zhao martial arts. He was a serious person, but he took good care of the spoiled little Zhaozhao several times. When little Zhaozhao started practicing martial arts with him, he almost always ended up crying.
But later the little guy got used to it and stopped crying. Instead, he said every day that he wanted to be a man who bleeds but doesn’t shed tears.
"Then you have to remember what you said. If you cry on the road, I won't take you out to play next time." Xu Shichu said to him meaningfully.
He went out to play as he said. Before the noble ladies could react, Xu Shichu quietly left the capital with the people in his courtyard.
She had no destination when she left Beijing this time. She just wanted to have fun and inspect her properties and charity in various places.
Xu Shichu is not a benevolent person. After all, she is not a human being at all. She only does good deeds to collect merit so that her soul can be safe and sound when traveling through various worlds. In the final analysis, it is for herself.
She did not do all good deeds. She only did good deeds to help women and children. She opened a "Women's Hall" to train medical women and let them treat poor women and children in the countryside for free and teach childcare knowledge; Train qualified midwives to reduce maternal mortality; provide free menstrual belts to poor women...
Xu Shichu was alone. Although her business was doing well, she did not have the ability or financial resources to save an entire country's poor. She could only save the lowest class of the poor - women and children.
If she really spared no effort to save the poor people of the entire country, regardless of men, women, old or young, then the emperor would still suspect that she had evil intentions and was trying to build a reputation and win over the people to rebel.
"Fuhao" is the name of a female general in ancient times. Xu Shichu named her charity after her because he wanted other women to live a good life. Even if they cannot become female generals, they can still be dignified. woman.
And only when the mother is well can the child be well. There is a saying that "it is better to live with a mother who is a beggar than with a father who is an official." The mother's importance to the child is that only when the "wife is well" can the child be well.
Xu Shichu's Fu Hao Tang is mainly located in poor counties and villages. Her purpose is to have fun, so of course she will not go to those places all the time.
This is the first time Du Zhao has traveled far away. Of course, the time he came to the capital with his parents when he was a baby is not included. After all, he was still a baby who didn't understand anything at that time. Now he is a lively naughty boy running around. , so I never stopped to look outside the carriage during the whole journey, and I would make a fuss and exclaim when I saw anything.
When Xu Shichu left the capital, she was like a bird escaping from its cage. She was no longer the prime minister's wife who was willing to settle down. She did not ride in the carriage with Xiao Zhaozhao, but rode on a horse with ease and grace. Not to mention how majestic she was. Xiao Zhaozhao's eyes were filled with tears.
"Auntie, I also want to ride a horse..." Xiao Pangdun said with envy.
"Your legs are too short to ride," Xu Shichu said in disgust.
Little Fatty looked at his short and chubby legs and suddenly felt sad. He sighed and asked, "How long will it take for my legs to grow like yours? I really want to ride a horse..."
"Then you have to wait, little short legs." Xu Shichu said while swinging on the horse. Even though it was still very cold in February, she had internal strength to protect her body and wore a lot of clothes, so she was not afraid of the cold at all.
Xiao Zhaozhao's black eyes rolled, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Auntie, can you take me to ride? You come and ride the horse, and I will sit in front of you."
Xu Shichu shook his head ruthlessly: "No, the wind is strong at the back of the horse. If you get sick, I will leave you at the inn, so you should just sit in the carriage obediently."
Xiao Zhaozhao saw that he could not convince his aunt to let him experience the joy of horse riding, so he had to give up in frustration. Fortunately, the maids and maids who took care of him diverted his attention by telling various stories about travel.
Xu Shichu asked the leading guard: "How far is it from the next station?"
The guard leader replied: "There is still about three or four kilometers to go back to Madam."
"It's quite close. I'll ride to the inn first. You can lead the people to protect the young master and the others and walk slowly." Xu Shichu said as he clamped the horse's belly, made a driving sound, and rode the horse forward quickly. .
The leader of the guard was so frightened that he shouted quickly: "Madam, let two guards follow you to protect you!"
Xu Shichu waved his hand back coolly: "No need, I have the ability to protect myself!"
The leader of the guard did not dare to take risks. He called out to the two smart guards: "Follow me quickly, don't let anything happen to me!"
By this time, Xu Shichu had already disappeared.
The horse Xu Shichu rode was a fine horse, and it didn't take long before the inn was right in front of him.
It was the beginning of spring at this time, and no one was walking along the official road, and the inn was even more deserted.
However, when Xu Shichu tied up his horse and walked in, he discovered that several people had already moved in.
A servant was shocked when he saw a single, beautiful young lady walking in. After all, although this inn was not too remote, it was still in the wild. Could it be normal for a beautiful young lady to appear here alone?
"This madam..." As soon as the servant spoke, the sound of horse hooves sounded again in front of the inn, and two guards had already followed.
Xu Shichu was impatient to deal with these trivial matters, so he said directly: "Find me a room first, and you can ask my guard about other matters."
The servant immediately understood and took Xu Shichu to an empty room very well.
Of course, the room in the inn could not be as convenient and comfortable as the inn, but Xu Shichu had never suffered anything, and the room was just a little simple, so she didn't care at all.
After all, it’s good to go out and not sleep in the wild.
When Xu Shichu entered the room, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.
