Qu Sanweng and his family took a cart from Duckweed House and headed north all the way out of Chang'an City. At noon, they finally arrived at the gate of Bachuan Villa.
After getting off the cart, Qu Sanweng looked at the large house with carved beams, painted beams and pavilions in front of him. He was so shocked that he forgot to speak.
No matter how Zhou Jun urged him, he just didn't dare to go in.
This royal villa is as far as the eye can see. In Qu Sanweng's own words, the homes of the dignitaries in his hometown who occupy thousands of acres of fertile land may look grand, but compared with this place, they are as dilapidated as a small house.
.
Qu Sanweng was already like this, and his family members were even more unbearable. Rouxing was so timid that she didn't even dare to get off the cart.
Zhou Jun had no choice but to drag Qu Sanweng into the gate of the garden without any explanation.
Seeing that the Qu family had gone in first, the others had no choice but to enter the garden one after another with trepidation.
Zhou Dinghai was in the front courtyard of the outer garden, helping the craftsmen to process wood. When he saw Zhou Jun coming back with a group of people, he rubbed his hands on his clothes and walked over and asked, "Did you find it?"
Zhou Jun nodded and said: "A total of six people are here."
Zhou Dinghai: "Can you see the household guide? Isn't it a military household?"
Zhou Jun: "I checked the household introduction, it's not a military household."
Zhou Dinghai glanced at the group of anxious Qu family members and said to Zhou Jun: "Pang Gong is practicing piano in Zhongyuan. Please pick someone to take him with you and go over and report."
Zhou Jun turned around and said to Qu Sanweng: "Weng Qu, please follow me. I will take you to meet the master's family."
Qu Weng: "May I ask Mr. Xiaolang, who is the owner of this house...?"
Zhou Dinghai blinked at Qu Sanweng and said, "A third-grade official, general of Zuojianmen, and uncle of Queen Zhenshun."
When Qu Sanweng heard this, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
Zhou Jun quickly helped Qu Sanweng up and said, "Although Pang Gong is a third-rank official, he is a kind man. Don't worry too much."
Qu Sanweng said with a cry in his voice: "Xiao Langjun, the biggest official I have ever seen is only a seventh-rank county magistrate."
"If you really want to see a third-grade official, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish a single sentence."
Zhou Jun supported Qu Sanweng and walked towards Zhongyuan. He kept urging him: "When you meet Pang Gong, you can answer whatever he asks. It doesn't matter even if you are wrong. Pang Gong doesn't
I'll blame you."
The two of them came to the side of the lake in Zhongyuan. Qu Sanweng saw an old man sitting in the pavilion from a distance. He felt even more worried and his calves kept trembling.
Zhou Jun finally dragged Qu Sanweng outside the small pavilion and asked him to kneel on the ground. He walked into the pavilion and sang: "Pang Gong, I have taken in a family of six, all of whom are refugees in Guanzhong."
When Pang Gong heard this, he looked stunned and confirmed to Zhou Jun: "Refugees in Guanzhong?"
Zhou Jun nodded in agreement.
Pang Gong was immediately interested because he was originally a refugee in Guanzhong and was fortunate enough to be taken in by the Wu family.
Looking at the old man kneeling on the ground outside the pavilion, shaking like chaff, Pang Gong asked: "Where is your family from in Guanzhong?"
Hearing this question, Qu Sanweng tried his best and stammered: "Bing... Bingzhu's house, Xiaomin's house... next to Xinfeng..."
When Pang Gong heard this, he felt even more interesting and said, "So, you and our family are still fellow villagers."
After speaking, Pang Gong spoke a Xinfeng dialect to Qu Sanweng.
Qu Sanweng was also stunned when he heard this, and he stumbled back in dialect.
Pang Gong smiled and said again.
Qu Sanweng replied.
The two of them spoke in Xinfeng dialect, one after another.
Zhou Jun could only look at each other in confusion with Yuping next to him.
After a while, Pang Gong sighed and said in Mandarin: "It turns out that life there is still so hard."
At this time, Qu Sanweng was no longer so nervous. He just heard him say: "It was okay in the first few years of Kaiyuan. After entering Tianbao, life will be difficult."
Pang Gong plucked the strings lightly and played a note.
After pondering for a while, he turned to Yuping and said: "Qu San's family, please arrange it first, get them some food, and then find a doctor to take a look at them."
Yuping bowed and said yes, walked out of the pavilion, and motioned for Qu Sanweng to follow her.
Watching them walk away, Pang Gong waved to Zhou Jun to sit next to him.
After Zhou Jun sat down, Pang Gong asked: "We heard from Qu San that you found him in Tongshanfang?"
Zhou Jun nodded and said: "Yes, there is an abandoned house in Tongshanfang, known as the 'Duckweed House'. There are hundreds of homeless people living in it. They are living in precarious conditions and living in poverty."
Pang Gong asked Zhou Jun about the specific situation of Duckweed House.
Zhou Jun shared his experiences one by one.
After hearing this, Pang Gong shook his head and said: "We are all from Guanzhong. Our family fled because of natural disasters; Qu San became a refugee because of man-made disasters."
Zhou Jun thought of the tragic situation in Duckweed House and couldn't help clenching his fists without saying a word.
Pang Gong was silent for a while, and then said: "Since our family plans to live in Bachuan Villa for a long time, I'm afraid we need to have more miscellaneous servants."
"Since the Guanzhong refugees in Duckweed House are fellow villagers of ours, you can recruit some more people to help us."
Zhou Jun responded.
Not long after, Yuping came back.
Pang Gong asked her, how is the Qu family?
Yuping said: "Xu is usually full and hungry. Qu San's family is a little weak in body and bones."
"The baby also had some colds, so he was seen by someone who knew medicine and prescribed medicine."
After hearing this, Mr. Pang nodded, looked at Yao Qin in front of him, and said, "I met my fellow villagers today and I am in a mixed mood, so I won't practice anymore. Let's go back to the house."
Yuping: "Then I'll call someone over."
Pang Gong pointed at Zhou Jun and said: "Who else are you calling? Isn't Erlang right here?"
Only then did Zhou Jun realize that there were steps at the bottom of the pavilion. People with sound legs and feet would have no problem getting in and out. But if Pang Gong wanted to come out, he would have to find someone to move Lun Yu and him down in batches.
Zhou Jun rolled up his sleeves and carefully walked Lun Yu and Pang Gong onto the road.
Watch Pang Gong pushing his wheelchair farther and farther.
Zhou Jun looked back at the steps of the pavilion and remembered that there seemed to be many places in this garden that were designed to be very unfavorable for the elderly and disabled people to move around.
Perhaps, we can find some way to improve it?
Keeping this incident in mind, Zhou Jun planned to go to Huayue and ask her how she was doing.
I walked to the wing where Yuping lived and inquired about it, only to find out that Hua Yue had just run out.
After going out and searching around, Zhou Jun finally saw the painted moon outside the door of Qu's house, which had just moved into his new home.
This girl was having a very pleasant conversation with Qu Sanweng's daughter Rou Xing.
Thinking that Hua Yue had finally found a peer to talk to, Zhou Jun stopped disturbing her.
He went back to the wing, took off his clothes, and slept until the sun went down.
