After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

In this way, Chen Zhe became a member of the Dingbei Palace.

Su Cheng'an returned to Shaoguang Courtyard and recounted the incident to Jinchu, concluding with his comment: "This man is concerned about the country and the people, and is truly loyal to his father-in-law. Even when dragged into the courtyard by the guards today, he refused to yield. For a scholar, he is quite courageous."

There was obvious praise in his tone, and Jin Chu couldn't help but feel a little more curious. He said directly, "It's rare that you praise him so much. It seems that he is indeed a great person. I would like to meet him someday."

The girl tilted her neck slightly, her eyes were bright, and there was a bit of novelty and expectation on her face. Su Cheng'an's heart softened when he saw her, and a smile appeared on his face again.

He said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, Ah Jin. Mr. Chen has just arrived in Youyun City and everything is still unfamiliar to him. After some time, when he is settled, I will introduce you to each other."

Thinking of Chen Zhe's loyalty, he couldn't help but praise Ye Shengpei again, "It seems that my father-in-law also has a good way of employing people and treating them with sincerity. Only then, after his death, his subordinates still remember him and seek justice for him. In this regard, I still have a lot to learn from him."

Jin Chu raised the corner of his lips and said proudly: "That's right, don't you see whose father he is!"

"Yes, I especially want to thank my father-in-law and mother-in-law for raising such a smart and thoughtful girl like you."

Su Cheng'an hugged Jin Chu and kissed her lightly on the top of her head, his eyes filled with infinite love.

After more than ten days, the sick children on the farms outside the city had basically recovered.

As for those who were weak, after half a month of rest, their sunken cheeks gradually grew flesh and their complexion began to turn from sallow to rosy.

Starting tomorrow, the court doctor will no longer have to run back and forth between the city and outside.

After receiving the news, Su Cheng'an decided to take Jin Chu to see this group of orphans of the Northwest Army the next day.

Because they had to get up early the next day, the couple went to bed early that night.

They were intimate lovers who were in love with each other. Jin Chu only teased him twice and Su Cheng'an couldn't help but cover him. The girl with selfish motives also cooperated fully, hugging, kissing and panting to encourage him to take advantage of her.

Unfortunately, at the critical moment, Su Cheng'an still controlled his lower body with his upper body. No matter how his wife seduced him, the young man took all the safety measures before he could enjoy the pleasure of love.

The already aroused girl was powerless to get rid of the sweet burden on her body and could only rise and fall with the man. Finally, in her drowsy state, she reflected on how she could improve her methods next time and successfully win over the man in front of her.

After breakfast the next day, Jin Chu went to see Huanyan first, and after coming back, he followed Su Chengan to the farm outside the city.

Because of Su Cheng'an's story, Jin Chu already had deep sympathy for those children. When she saw those children, big and small, showing sincere and grateful expressions to Su Cheng'an, her heart was suddenly filled with pity and compassion.

If it were in modern times, these would be the glorious orphans of the people's soldiers, who would enjoy state subsidies and policy preferences to help them grow up safely and even find jobs smoothly.

But in this turbulent and unstable situation, these women and children can only run around like stray dogs, miserable and panic-stricken, suffering from cold stares and torture, struggling to survive with hunger and fullness.

Their fathers, heroes who sacrificed their lives for the Jin Dynasty and died on the battlefield, forged the backbone of their country with their blood. However, the women and children left behind were like candles in the wind, adrift and helpless in the turbulent waves of the chaotic times.

What an ironic and tragic contrast!

What an innocent and cute child!

"Sister, here you go!"

Not far away, a little girl of four or five years old timidly poked her head out from behind a boy of seven or eight years old. She had a pair of big black eyes with clear black and white, and a bright red apple in her little hand.

Jin Chu was stunned for a moment, then she started laughing. She walked up to the little girl, gently touched her soft hair, looked at her tenderly and said, "Good girl, thank you, but I'm not hungry, you can keep this fruit for yourself."

The little girl pursed her lips stubbornly and did not retract her outstretched hand.

She frowned slightly and whispered eagerly, "Sister, this is the most delicious fruit, sweet and crisp. Mother said that the best gift should be given to the person who treats you best!"

The little girl pointed at Su Cheng'an standing beside Jinchu, her face full of gratitude. "This brother is Cai'er and my brother's benefactor. Since my sister came with him, he must be a very good person. Cai'er wants to give this fruit to my sister. When Cai'er grows up, I will give my sister more and better fruit to eat."

When Jin Chu heard this, her eyes instantly became hot. She reached out and gently stroked Cai'er's cheek, as if touching the most delicate petals in spring, full of innocence and softness.

"Cai'er, you and your brother are both good children. I am happier than eating the sweetest fruit in the world when I receive this gift."

The little girl received praise from her sister, and a shy blush appeared on her face. The corners of her mouth raised high, revealing two playful little fangs. She plucked up the courage to stuff the apple into Jin Chu's hand, as if she was afraid that Jin Chu would give it back to her. The little girl turned around and ran away quickly.

Su Cheng'an, who saw this scene, did not say a word, but a trace of emotion flashed across his eyes. Children's feelings are the most simple and sincere.

At this moment, Su Cheng'an felt that all the hardships he had experienced in rescuing these women and children were worth it.

Jin Chu held the apple and watched as the little girl ran to a woman who was sorting beans with her head down. She said something quickly and pointed in her direction. The woman stood up and bowed in her direction.

They seem to be a group of polite and grateful people!

While he was thinking, Su Chengan's voice rang in his ears: "Your name is Aze?"

The little boy in front of the little girl nodded and replied respectfully: "Yes, my dear master, my name is Aze, and my name is Acai."

"How old are you this year?" Su Cheng'an asked again.

Aze remembered the lie he had told in the dilapidated temple in order to get the nobleman to accept him, and his face suddenly turned red.

He said with a guilty conscience, "Aze will be eight years old this August."

"One year younger than Zhao'er." Jin Chu couldn't help but sigh.

The children of the poor are already in charge!

Although this child is not very old, his resilience seems to be stronger than Zhao'er's.

Thinking of Zhao'er studying and practicing martial arts every day, while these similar children have to struggle to make a living, Jin Chu couldn't help but feel pity again.

So, she took the initiative to ask, "Su Cheng'an, I think these children are all very good. Do you have any arrangements for them?"

"Ajin, what do you want to say?" Su Cheng'an asked instead of answering.

Jin Chu never interfered in his affairs, and this was the first time he took the initiative to ask about these children.

After all, she is a girl, and her mind is softer and more delicate. If she has a better way to accommodate these people, it will save her a lot of effort.

Jin Chu thought for a moment and said, "These children are not very old. If they have to do anything, it's just some manual labor. But they still have decades to live. If this continues, what if there are smart children among them? Wouldn't it be a waste of their lives if they live like this?"

Su Cheng'an nodded. The corners of his lips curled up as he agreed, "That's right. So what does Ah Jin want?"

Looking at Su Cheng'an's understanding yet playful look, Jin Chu patted him and decided not to keep him in suspense any longer.

She said bluntly, "I want to divide these children into several groups according to their age and send them to study and practice martial arts. If they are good at literature, they can study literature; if they are good at martial arts, they can learn martial arts. If they are good at both, that's fine too. As long as the children are willing, they can learn both."

"If neither of these is possible, then go to school for two or three years, and when you are older, go out and become a literate servant. That will always make your life easier."

"As for those women, my cosmetics shop is overwhelmed, so I'll just let them go to work. This way they can earn money, and I can save some trouble to hire other people."

"Of course, this idea was proposed by me, so I will naturally pay for their literary or martial arts training. However, we have to rely on our prince to help find the masters!"

Looking at the girl with a smile on her face, bright eyes and talking eloquently, Su Cheng'an felt proud and satisfied again. Such an excellent and kind girl is his prince's consort!

The young man smiled broadly: "Who dares not obey the order of the Crown Prince's wife?"

Receiving the girl's glare, Su Chengan coaxed her: "Don't worry, Master, I will find it for you when I get back."
