310:Three years of Langya (10)
The lively blowing sound outside made Han Yu not have the heart to study, but Lu Zheng was relieved and ate happily. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that Han Yu's brows were always deeply locked, Lu Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked as if inadvertently, interrupting Han Yu's contemplation.
"Where did Zixiao go? I didn't see anyone else early this morning, and I wasn't there for the morning reading......"
Han Yu's thoughts returned, and he asked him, "Didn't you see him either?"
Lu Zheng ate a plate of white cake into his stomach, and then drank a big bowl of hot tea happily, and the chill in his body evaporated.
"Didn't see it...... This plate of white cake is still his breakfast. He didn't eat it, but it was a pity that it was cold, so I cooked it and ate it. Lu Zheng patted his chest, calmed himself, and poured down a large bowl of hot tea, the warm feeling made him feel a little sleepy.
The corners of Han Yu's mouth twitched, as if he had seen Wei Ci's embarrassment when he came back and found that the food was gone.
Where is Wei Ci, who was being talked about by the two at this time?
Dressed in a plain Confucian shirt and a cloak that barely kept out the cold, he took two servants and a cart to the snow-stricken slums.
Many of the drottoes that have been in disrepair have collapsed, making the already difficult roads extremely rugged, and it is not easy for people to enter and exit, and there are no porridge shacks nearby, so many families have a difficult livelihood, and the emaciated elderly and children can only be starved to death or frozen to death in the cold and cold.
"Wei Langjun is hereβ"
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the alley, a girl of seven or eight years old ran into the alley happily.
After a while, twenty or so thin old women or children under ten years old came out with bowls, and Wei Ci asked the servants to stop the cart, and lifted the thick quilt covering the cart, on which were placed four large buckets, and even with the lid covered, there was still sweet heat wafting out.
"There's no hurry, everyone has a share. β
Although Wei Ci didn't have many expressions, beautiful people always had a little privilege, and those people were quite moved by his behavior of coming over to deliver food every day, and they had already let go of their guards, and they were not very afraid of this beautiful Lang Jun who was like an immortal, but they were very close to and liked it.
It didn't take long for the three large buckets of steamed buns to be sold, and a large bucket of viscous white porridge had also bottomed out, and the residue had been scraped clean.
At this moment, Wei Ci found that the hem of his clothes was being torn by someone, he lowered his head and looked, the girl with a gray face looked at himself with black and white eyes, and her eyes were full of admiration.
Squatting down to eye level with the other party, he asked, "Have you completed the tasks assigned to you in the previous two days?"
The girl nodded heavily, her yellowed face flushed slightly, and she responded very happily, "Well, it's all done!"
The houses collapsed, crushing to death many people in their sleep, and the roads were blocked, cutting off the people of the caves from the outside.
Wei Ci hired the young men of the cave to provide them with three meals a day, and gave them an extra salary to clear the rocks and snow on the road.
The girl in front of her lost her mother in the snowstorm, and her father was also smashed by the fallen beam, and she couldn't work at all.
With the loss of the only labor force, the life of this family of two can be imagined.
Wei Ci smiled and gave her a task, asking her to remember the person who cleaned the snow and rocks, paid her daily salary, and returned warm clothes.
The kid was very attentive to this and took it very seriously.
"Very well done. He complimented.
The child smiled and cracked his mouth, revealing the gums that were missing a few teeth, and seemed to realize that this was not good, and shut his mouth shyly.
Wei Ci asked the servants to settle yesterday's wages, and asked the servants to carry down the bags of grain from the cart and leave some grain for each household.
"In two days, I won't be here. There's still some food and money here, so keep it for the big guys. β
Wei Ci is now considered to be in the middle of the family, but the camel that starved to death was bigger than the horse, and Wei left him a lot of money before he moved away, enough for him to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, but he followed Mr. Yuanjing to Beijing for evaluation, he didn't expect to encounter this thing at first, and he didn't bring much.
"Thank you...... Thank you for your great kindness......"
The crowd said words of thanks, and even some old people wanted to kneel, but they were all stopped by Wei Ci.
Leaving the slum, Wei Ci sighed worriedly.
The strength of the individual is always weak, even if he scatters all his wealth, what can he recover?
Wei Ci's stay was not close to the second prince's mansion, but if he wanted to go back, he had to pass through there.
The farther away from the cave, the more neat and luxurious the houses around you become, and the road under your feet has changed from a muddy dirt road to a neat stone path.
It's hard to imagine that the cave and the courtyard house in front of you would be in the same area.
Seeing a majestic guard of honor in front of him, he asked his servants to pull the cart aside and make way for the other party.
"Lang Jun, the street in front is the mansion of the second prince, do you want to take a detour?"
The servant pushed the cart and spoke with some trepidation.
Hundreds of tables and flowing water seats occupy the entire street, and ordinary people are not even allowed to approach, and their servants cannot enter.
"Take a detour, so as not to collide with the nobles and cause unnecessary trouble. β
Wei Ci lowered his eyes and tightened the sides of his cloak, his brows furrowed slightly.
The mansion of the second prince was originally the property of a party official in Shangjing, and was later confiscated, and the official family set aside this piece to give it to the second prince, and the mansion was expanded and renovated, and almost the entire street was the area of the second prince's mansion, so it took a lot of time to detour.
Wei Ci saw from a distance that the corner door of the second prince's mansion opened, and buckets of swill were transported to the swill truck.
After a long while, the swill bucket was finished, and the vermilion corner door was quietly closed.
From a long distance, Wei Ci heard the servants who carried the swill whispering to each other.
"Alas, where is this swill, it's clearly buckets of silver...... I look at the dishes, neatly and neatly, some of them only moved two chopsticks, and some of them didn't even move, so they were poured into the swill bucket and dumped as garbage...... Outside, I wonder how many people have been starved to death...... Even if you throw these uneaten things to those people to eat, you can save a lot of people......"
Another man said, "What are you talking nonsense about here?" If you are heard by a nobleman, you will lose a small thing on an errand, and you will lose your life. What the nobles have eaten, what qualifications do those untouchables outside have to eat...... Otherwise, people are born noble with a golden spoon in their mouths, and we are mud legs in the field, born to be trampled on......"
"You still have the face to say me, don't you also don't have a door......
The two men quarreled for a while, sighed one after another, and quietly drove away from the back door of the mansion.
Wei Ci listened, and the whole person seemed to be placed in an ice cellar, and the cold air rushed straight to his brain from the soles of his feet.
A pair of mocking eyes seemed to flash in front of him, which made his heart tighten.
"Your Majesty...... You're right......"
He muttered in a low voice, his eyes were hot, and he almost cried.
