Chapter 502 If you can't refuse, then enjoy it.
"If you're feeling down, Auntie, I'll take you somewhere that I guarantee will cheer you up."
Chu Yueli suddenly stood up, took Huo Qing's hand, and went out.
Huo Qing looked puzzled: "A-Li, where are you taking me?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Chu Yueli held her hand all the way outside, and then asked Zisu, "Where are all the things?"
"It's in the warehouse," Zisu led them there.
Each courtyard has a storeroom specifically for storing things.
Zisu has already categorized the Emperor's gifts, and now Huo Qing is just waiting to make arrangements for them.
Besides gold and silver jewelry, there are also bird's nest supplements, which are all favorites among women.
"His Majesty is truly generous. Such a valuable reward is something even the ladies of the palace might not receive."
Seeing Huo Qing's face darken, filled with displeasure and disgust, Chu Yueli smiled and said, "Why are you unhappy, Third Aunt? This is all money. Having money is a good thing. Just keep it."
"Ah Li!" Huo Qing glared at her.
These things aren't free; who knows what kind of trouble that old geezer will cause in the future.
She would never do anything to betray Sanlang. If the old man really forced her, she would die with him!
"Don't be angry, Third Aunt. I'm just telling the truth. Don't be antagonistic about money. Money is a good thing."
Chu Yueli still held her hand, turned back to look at Zisu and said, "Pack your things, let's go... to help the poor."
Zisu was perceptive and immediately understood what her mistress meant.
They packed up the gold and silver, found a carriage at the Duke's mansion, and immediately set off.
They happened to meet Miao Yucui, who was returning from running errands, at the gate. The four of them went together, first to the main street to buy rice, flour and dried meat, then exchanged some loose silver, and then went to the place where Huo Qing used to live.
It was a remote corner of the capital city, inhabited by poor people.
The children were overjoyed to see Huo Qing return, and they all vied to talk to her.
Zisu and Miao Yucui also unloaded rice, flour, and dried meat from the carriage and distributed them to the local residents.
Huo Qing and Chu Yueli also bought some snacks to make the children happy.
Looking at the children's smiling faces, Huo Qing's gloomy mood, which had lasted for half a day, finally began to dissipate, and she truly saw the sunshine.
As evening fell, the group of four returned to a bustling area of the capital. Chu Yueli suggested, "Since we're already out here, why don't we skip dinner at the mansion? Come on, I'll treat you to a big bowl of noodles."
"Great!" Huo Qing was the first to agree. "I know a really good one!"
Zisu and Miao Yucui certainly agreed; since it was a rare occasion for everyone to get together, they naturally had to go out for a big meal.
It's not that the Duke's chefs are bad, but eating the same food every day, no matter how good, will eventually get boring. Changing the taste occasionally will make you feel much better.
"Let's go! It's on me!"
Huo Qing seemed to be in a much better mood tonight. She not only ate braised pork noodles, but also bought a lot of delicious food from the stall next door.
Grilled lamb chops, grilled meat skewers, grilled gluten, and grilled fruit.
"Ah Li, I've realized you're right. It's good to have money; you don't have to ask the price when you buy things," Huo Qing said with a grin.
Looking at the smile in her eyes, Chu Yueli tentatively asked, "Then, if there's a next time..."
“I’m not angry anymore. Give me whatever you give me, and I’ll take it all out. It can help people and I can also eat and drink. Why not?”
Most importantly, you can't refuse anything the old man gives you.
Since we can't refuse, then—spend it! There's nothing wrong with that, is there?
