Chapter 186: Warmth
Looking at so many quilts, Xiyue shook her head and said to Sunset: "Our master is really wronged, even if these broken quilts are given to me for nothing." Now we're done, and if we want to move these things back, we're not only tired, but we'll be laughed at, and we will be called insane. ”
Sunset also shook his head helplessly, and Mu Hui next to him glanced at the two of them and said, "Don't worry, you two stay and help me count the quantity and settle the account with the boss, don't give more." I'm going out for a trip. ”
Before the two of them could recover their strength, Mu Hui had already gone out. She wrapped her cloak and walked over to the beggars, who she saw covered in frostbite. She said softly: "Call a few brothers to come with me, I will prepare some quilts and mattresses for you, and you can take them to the children and the elderly first......
The man immediately raised his head and looked at the glamorous girl in front of him, his eyes full of surprise.
"It's true, go and get someone to come with me. I'm waiting for you here. ”
The man got up with a shudder and knocked a few times on the wall with his club. After a while, several young, sturdy men walked out. Mu Hui smiled at them and said, "Come on, come with me." ”
When the owner of the shop saw a dozen young men approaching, he was so frightened that he immediately closed the door of the shop. Mu Hui said softly: "Boss, just open the door, I'm outside, they won't enter the store." ”
The owner of the shop trembled and asked, "Miss, I'm a serious businessman, don't you rob the rich and help the poor, I still have an eighty-year-old mother and a child of a few years old at home, and I am also poor." ”
Sunset immediately opened the door for Mu Hui and asked, "Miss, you are finally back, and the accounts have been settled." ”
"Very well, now you two throw out all the quilts and mattresses we bought. To those beggars. They were all covered in chilblains......"
The sunset and the setting moon immediately came and said, "Okay, here we are......" The three of them were busy for a while, and more than a hundred quilts and more than a hundred mattresses were all thrown to those beggars.
The beggar at the head looked at Mu Hui, knelt on the ground with his hands folded and kowtowed three times. Mu Hui's eyes were a little red and said, "Okay, don't knock and take it back to the women and children, as well as the living old people." I'll make you as much soup as I can later on. ”
The setting sun tugged at Mu Hui and asked her not to continue. After the beggars were gone, Mu Hui sat on the stool with Sunset and Sunset and Panted. After surviving for a while, my hands and feet have warmed up a lot.
The owner of the shop came over with a smile and said, "Miss." If you still want to buy some more quilts and mattresses, I think I can contact you more......"
Mu Hui shook her head and said, "No need, thank you for the shopkeeper." Let's go, go home. ”
The owner of the shop looked at Mu Hui's figure and sighed. It's really rare for a girl like her to be careful about herself but generous to beggars.
On the way back, Mu Hui was thinking about how to get some food for those beggars and set up a tent. It's definitely not okay if it's out all the time. When she passed by the Taishi's Mansion, she had an idea and thought of a good solution.
When she returned to Nanrong Mansion and took the jade pendant, she entered the palace. When the second prince saw her, he asked with some curiosity, "What is the matter with your coming this time?" ”
Mu Hui knelt down and said very seriously: "Your Highness, I think you must already know about the refugees in the city. I also know that His Royal Highness the Second Prince has always been honest and honest and loves the people. Now that the people are in trouble, they still hope that His Royal Highness the Second Prince will be gracious. ”
The second prince frowned, and now the treasury is not abundant. Add in a lot of expenses at the end of the original year. If you want to give relief to the victims, you must have a thousand taels of silver and a hundred taels of gold. But he really didn't have that much surplus.
"What are you going to do? Get up and speak straight. ”
Mu Hui didn't get up, she raised her eyes and looked at the second prince and said with great confidence: "Your Highness, I don't want gold, silver and jewelry, I just want the Taishi Mansion!" As long as those refugees have a place to stay. It's freezing outside, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid they'll all die in this capital, and you think it's just Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
The second prince asked several of the strategists under him to think of some countermeasures, but they really didn't come up with any countermeasures without silver. Now this Nanrong Muhui actually thought of using the Taishi Mansion. There are many rooms in the Taishi Mansion, and if they can have a place to live, it can be regarded as a heavenly accumulation, at least they don't have to spend a lot of money to build.
"Someone came to hand over the title deed of the Taishi Mansion to Mu Hui, and in addition to the Taishi Mansion, I will give you another three hundred taels of silver. Hope I can help you with something. Go down. ”
Mu Hui didn't expect that the title deed was in her hands. She left the palace in high spirits. Even the prefect in the capital didn't expect that the second prince would actually give the title deed of the Taishi Mansion to a young lady in Nanrong Mansion. The title deed was worth 10,000 taels of silver.
Mu Hui's white cloak was very visible among the refugees. The refugees weren't actually sick, but a flood cut off the harvest last year. As a result, a heavy snowfall came, and their food had already run out, so they had no choice but to move their families. The village of a few hundred people came here, and there were only three or four hundred people left.
Many of them had chilblains. The chilblains looked like a contagious disease, so many people refused to give them food. More and more people have chilblains.
In the early morning of the next day, Mu Hui pulled up the sunset and the setting moon, prepared a large carriage of things in a carriage, and dragged them to the Taishi Mansion. Those refugees found shelter from the wind and quilts and mattresses in the Taishi's Mansion, and many of them eased up. Mu Hui watched them huddle together to keep warm, and felt a lot better.
The man at the head saw Mu Hui and immediately trotted over. He took the horse rope from Mu Hui's hand. The sacks of grain were all unloaded from the wagon.
Several young people ran to the bag containing the grain like crazy when they saw the grain, and Mu Hui was knocked to the ground by them. Xian Yurui, who was outside the door, immediately stepped forward to help, but was stopped by the second prince.
The man at the head immediately hit the young refugees with a stick and said, "Kneel! Apologize! Only then did the men see Mu Hui on the ground, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Get up, it's all right, I know you're hungry. Let's take a hand to find some firewood, let's steam steamed buns! Cook porridge! "Everybody was excited. Several women tucked the child into the quilt and got up to help.
The second prince and Xian Yurui watched Mu Hui follow these refugees and began to be busy looking for things to make a fire and cook. The simple white-flour steamed buns and rice porridge seemed to exude infinite charm, and those refugees kept swallowing their saliva as they smelled the fragrance in the pot. The cherry blossom birthmark on Mu Hui's left eye became very faint. She didn't seem excited, but she was surprisingly beautiful. (To be continued.) )
