Ci'an Hall was located in the southernmost part of Dingyuan County. It was located in a remote location and had a quiet environment.
When Shen Yao arrived with Ji Zhao, it was lunchtime at Ci'an Hall.
After passing through the faded vermilion door and walking two steps to the left, they arrived at the large courtyard of Ci'an Hall. At this moment, there were two large wooden basins about three feet tall placed on the square table in the middle of the courtyard. The outer edges of the wooden basins were even starting to have moldy spots.
There were two wooden basins. One contained boiled vegetables, and the other contained some steamed buns of unknown color.
The huge courtyard was exceptionally quiet.
The children in the queue were each more sallow and thin than the other. The elders were also gray-haired and haggard.
When Ji Zhao saw this scene, she felt a little upset.
“I heard that His Majesty is a wise ruler who loves his people like his children. Every county in the Great Jing Dynasty has a Ci'an Hall, and the imperial court will allocate funds every year. But who would have thought that the elders and children living in Ci'an Hall would live such a miserable life?” Ji Zhao slowly raised her eyes to look at Shen Yao, who was silently pursing his lips.
The suffering of the human world was probably this scene in front of them, right?
Who knew how many dirty things were hidden in the Great Jing Dynasty?
“It will get better and better.” Shen Yao rubbed her cheek, his eyes filled with gentleness.
“Mm!” Ji Zhao perked up and distributed the sugar paintings they had brought to the orphans of Ci'an Hall. Then, she paid for some roasted chicken and added food for everyone.
After everyone finished their lunch, Ji Zhao played games with the children for a while.
It was not until sunset that the couple reluctantly left Ci'an Hall.
However, what Ji Zhao did not know was that as soon as they left, a gray carriage arrived outside the door of Ci'an Hall.
When Ji Ting'an slowly got out of the carriage, he happened to catch a glimpse of Ji Zhao's side profile.
“Young Master?” The servant saw that he was in a daze and called out softly.
“Zhu Bai, did you see that girl just now?' Ji Ting'an frowned slightly and said softly, 'That girl's side profile seems to be somewhat similar to Eldest Aunt's.”
“Girl? What girl? I didn't see.” The servant called Zhu Bai said blankly, “Young
Master, did you see wrongly?'
“Perhaps?” Ji Ting'an waved the folding fan in his hand and smiled faintly. “Let's go to Ci'an Hall to take a look.”
After Ji Ting'an revealed his identity, the old man guarding Ci'an Hall hurriedly came out to welcome him.
“We didn't know you would come, we apologize for not welcoming you!”
“There's no need to be so polite, old man.” Ji Ting'an smiled gently. “Old man, it's getting late. Why hasn't food been served yet?” “Sir, the steamed buns in the kitchen were steamed late today.”
'Why?” Ji Ting'an frowned slightly and asked softly.
“It's Miss Ah Tao's order. When Miss Ah Tao came this afternoon, she brought roasted chicken for everyone. Moreover, at noon, everyone ate sponge cake. They're not too hungry now, so Miss Ah Tao suggested that we postpone dinner for an hour…”
“Old man, this Miss Ah Tao you're talking about is…”
“Sir, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? Miss Ah Tao is beautiful and kind.
She's the lady boss of the Spring Breeze Pavilion on East Street!”
Ji Ting'an was instantly interested. This Miss Ah Tao was quite popular!
On the other side, before night fell, Shen Yao accompanied Ji Zhao back to Shanghe Village.
The Shen family's courtyard had been renovated half a month ago. There was strength in numbers. Now, the kitchen and central room were almost repaired.
Shen Dashan and Zhao Lanhua had also moved back from the Tian Family Village three days ago.
“I heard that the business in the shop is not bad?” Zhao Lanhua hurriedly handed the big bone soup to Ji Zhao and asked with concern, “Ah Tao, why do I see that your face has lost a lot of weight?”
“Really?” Ji Zhao pinched her chubby cheeks with a smile. “Mother, look, I feel like I've gained weight!'
“Nonsense! You've clearly lost weight!” Zhao Lanhua hurriedly called out. “Ah
Tao, drink the soup first. We'll talk after you're done.”
“Alright!'
Ji Zhao also guessed that Zhao Lanhua must be full of questions, so she quickly finished a bowl of bone soup and ate half a bowl of knife-cut noodles before putting down her bowl and chopsticks in satisfaction.
“Ah Tao, what was the deal with the fire?” Zhao Lanhua looked at her and asked impatiently, “Did you have another dream?”
“Yes.” Ji Zhao subconsciously glanced at Shen Yao, who was sitting beside her.
Shen Yao immediately stood up. After closing the door and windows, he accompanied Ji Zhao to sit opposite his parents.
“It was a terrible dream.”
Ji Zhao thought for a moment and described what had happened in the dream in detail.
At the end, Zhao Lanhua and Shen Dashan broke out in cold sweat.
“No wonder… No wonder you secretly got people to dig a tunnel. You even asked me to make sure that your two sisters-in-law leave the Shen family's courtyard! ”
After understanding the whole story, Zhao Lanhua finally understood why Ji Zhao had made those requests.
“Fortunately, you had a dream, Ah Tao. Otherwise…” Shen Dashan did not dare to think further!
If Ah Tao had not dreamed and made preparations in advance, their entire family would have been buried in the sea of fire!
“Father, Mother, don't worry too much.” Shen Yao quickly comforted them.
“The group of criminals who set the fire have been arrested.”
“Third Brother, tell me honestly. Who is the mastermind who insisted on burning our family to death? Why do they want to harm our family?' Zhao Lanhua, who had calmed down, felt that this matter was not simple.
“Does this matter have anything to do with the woman who came to our house to cause trouble?” Zhao Lanhua asked with a frown.
“Yes.” Shen Yao nodded slightly. “But Mother, you don't have to worry too much. This matter has been resolved.”
“Is it really resolved?” Zhao Lanhua still felt uneasy.
“Mother, it;s really fine.” Ji Zhao silently grabbed Zhao Lanhua's hand and comforted her gently. “l haven't had any nightmares recently!”
“Ah Tao, thank goodness you're here!”
Zhao Lanhua felt extremely lucky. She thought for a moment and quickly said, “Ah Tao, shouldn't we go pay our respects to the Earth God tomorrow morning? The Earth God must be secretly protecting our Shen family. That's why our Shen family can survive this calamity safely!”
“Coincidentally, your Aunt Guihua sent two ducks over yesterday. Why don't we go to the kitchen to clean up now?”
“Alright!'
Ji Zhao responded with a smile and accompanied Zhao Lanhua to the kitchen.
Only Shen Dashan and Shen Yao were left in the central room.
“Father, why don't you accompany me to look for the village chief tomorrow morning? I want to take the exam this autumn.”
“Have you really thought it through?”
