Chapter 935: The Palace Lady Leaves the Palace to Hold the Ring
A faint light appeared in the sky, covering Yintai Street like a veil. The bluestone road was moistened and shiny by the morning rain, reflecting the shadows of the flying eaves and corners on both sides.
The sun was rising, and the sunlight passed over the screen wall in front of the Shen Mansion, casting light and shadows on the stone road.
A string of horse-drawn carriages drove towards the Shen Mansion, and their wheels left crisscross lines on the ground.
"Knock Knock Knock-"
As the passengers got off the car one by one, there was a gentle knock on the door of the Shen residence.
"The old sisters are here?" Grandma Gu from the front hall came over after hearing the voice.
The doorman removed the bolt and opened the door, and the morning light poured in generously. People outside the door stood against the light and bowed together.
"I, the old servant, obey the Queen's order and ask to see Lord Shen."
Nanny Gu smiled from ear to ear and walked forward, her eyes sliding across everyone's faces, "Come in, come in. Ever since the day the Emperor summoned you, I have been looking forward to your coming. Today, you are finally here!"
She and the people opposite her were all old-timers in the palace. Although they could not be said to know each other well, they had been in the palace together for many years and naturally had some friendship between them.
Now that these old sisters can walk out of the palace with their heads held high and work for the court, she is happy for them from the bottom of her heart.
The leading palace maid was also familiar with her and had served the queen with her. The queen gave her the name Qiongju, and the other palace maids called her Madam Qiong.
Aunt Qiong smiled and bowed, saying, "There are a total of thirty-six people leaving the palace this time, including twenty-eight palace maids and eight eunuchs."
It was also within Gu Ma's expectations that the number of eunuchs was less than that of palace maids.
Eunuchs are not complete persons, and they will inevitably be criticized by people with ulterior motives, whether they are in the palace or outside.
If one is a person who is open-minded, he may just laugh it off when criticized.
If you can't let it go... you may have a knot in your heart for the rest of your life, let alone go out of the palace to meet people or do your work.
The eight eunuchs before us who can walk out of the palace with confidence are all people with strong character. In the future, maybe... they can provide a support for the poor people.
"Come in first." Grandma Gu called sideways, "I'll go pass the message, everyone wait a moment."
Everyone entered one after another, and after standing still, they did not look around, but just stood there with their eyes lowered, waiting for Shen Zheng to come.
Quarter of an hour later, Shen Zheng came with Hua Duo and led the group directly to the Ring Society.
The Xianhuan Society is located in the west of Shangjing City, far away from prosperous places. It is the place chosen by the Fifth Na Zheng, but this place is only where the Xianhuan Society does its work, not a gathering place for those poor people.
Shen Zheng was riding with Aunt Qiong and introduced to her: "We will build the first relief center in the suburbs of Beijing, mainly to help abandoned babies, homeless children and women."
Homeless children are little beggars.
And the homeless woman is a female beggar.
After hearing this, Nanny Qiong thought for a moment and then asked respectfully, "Master Shen, are we only helping female beggars? What about the male beggars..."
Among the beggars, children are the largest, followed by men and women are the least.
"After we receive women and babies, we will receive men." Shen Zheng said, "I have discussed this with the Fifth Master. It's not that I think men are more unlucky, but women may encounter more dangers if they are out in the open. Right now, we are short of manpower and can only take care of one side for now, but this situation should not last too long. Both men and women are citizens of the Great Zhou. The Xianhuan Society will act as soon as possible."
Nanny Qiong looked into her eyes and immediately understood the meaning of her words - most of the fatal injuries suffered by female beggars when they were wandering outside were caused by men.
The most outrageous one was that a female beggar was forced to become pregnant and became a mother for no apparent reason.
Most of the perpetrators are unwilling to take responsibility, and there will be one more little beggar or abandoned baby in the world.
After leaving Yintai Street, the carriage became bumpy.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the ring, the palace servants became a little restless and several conversations were heard from the carriage.
"This place has changed so much. When I entered the palace, there were no small shops like these. They were all mansions!"
"What else can I say? How long has it been since we left the palace? We are lucky to still recognize the road. After we enter the Ring Society, don't talk nonsense. If you make Lord Shen unhappy, our mission will be in vain."
Dozens of carriages passed through the street one after another, attracting people on both sides to stop and watch.
"When did a distinguished person move in here? Why are there so many carriages?"
"This looks like... a carriage from the imperial court, right? Why are people from the imperial court here?"
"I know! It's the Ring Society! It must be like this. Wasn't there a rumor before that the Queen sent palace servants to the Ring Society to help? If these carriages are really from the palace, they must be going to the Ring Society. Let's go! Let's take a look. It's a good opportunity to see what the people in the palace look like."
The people followed the carriage closely, and when the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Ring Society, the crowd suddenly became agitated.
"The Queen has really sent someone!"
"Shhhhhh, they're coming down!"
The people stopped talking and watched figures getting off the carriages.
"Lord Shen? That's Lord Shen, right? Lord Shen is here in person!"
"Men? Or men from the palace? Do you think... are they..."
The men felt a chill in their crotch and subconsciously covered their crotch with their hands.
Someone said with disgust: "How dare you come out and see me... If I have no roots, I might as well die!"
The sixty-year-old woman spat fiercely and looked at his crotch without any hesitation.
"Look, old lady, even if you have that thing, it's just for show. Everyone in the neighborhood knows that you went to An Chijiao to get medicine. They just gave you face and didn't tell you explicitly. It's better not to have that useless thing of yours!"
Others laughed out loud, and someone even asked, "After taking An Chijiao's medicine... did it work, brother?"
The man's face turned red to his neck and he looked at the old woman fiercely.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you going to sleep under my bed tonight?"
The old woman's eyes were still on his crotch. "You know whether it's useful or not. People in the palace are here to do good deeds. It's just that they lost a piece of meat. How can you be here to judge them? If you really look down on them, you can go to the Ring Club and see if Lord Shen wants you. If you can do some good deeds for us ordinary people, I will apologize to you."
"You...you...you wait!"
The man couldn't win the argument with her, so he stretched his neck out to squeeze out of the crowd and disappeared in a few seconds.
After this incident, the onlookers no longer dared to talk about the eunuchs and could only watch silently from the side.
Diwu Nazheng came to the Ring Meeting early in the morning. After hearing Shen Zheng bringing people over, he quickly came out in his wheelchair and welcomed everyone in.
