In the twenty-second year of Jiahe, the war between Qi and the north became tense, if the twenty-one years of the war was a small fight, then after the beginning of the spring of the twenty-second year, it was the real war, a large number of displaced people flowed around, and there were even displaced people in various places who stole food and property. In order to collect grain and grass, the price of grain rose a lot compared with 20 years.

The prefect of Gyeongju asked each county to place temporary shelters for the displaced people to live in, and the prefect's wife took the lead in setting up a porridge shed to give porridge and give good fortune.

In Changping County, with the prefect's wife as an example, the prefect's wife also organized some officials' wives and businessmen to discuss soup kitchens, and the Cao family set up a porridge shed early, and the porridge was all made of new rice, and the chopsticks couldn't fall down on the silk.

The Cao family's porridge shed was with Su Liu, and the two families produced some food, in addition to porridge, there were also steamed buns, although they were thick noodles, but they were already grateful. And this move naturally makes people grateful, some homeless people who hate the rich, and businessmen who complain about the rich and noble, simply smashed and robbed, but the Cao family and Su Liu's family were not affected at all.

Because the matter between Cao Kui and the Chen family had been decided, when the two families built a porridge shed, the Cao family resolutely refused to let Su Liu and them give food, but Su Liu refused to do so.

As early as last year, Su Liu and the Cao family secretly stocked up a lot of grain, which came in handy, because there was grain in stock, and the price of grain had no impact on them.

The day when Cao Mingzhu and Song Fei got married was finally set on the second day of the eighth month, because they wanted to marry under the full strength of their parents, they promoted the relationship between Cao Kui and Chen, and the day of the two was set on the sixth day of the fifth month.

Cao Mingzhu has to be busy preparing for the wedding and embroidery dowry, and he has to preside over the middle feed in the house and take charge of Cao Kui's family affairs.

It is said that Su Liu is inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of the Cao family, after all, the name is not right, but in extraordinary times, he has to be cheeky, but he only takes care of the porridge shed soup kitchen, and then Cao Kui and the Chen family have some ideas. Even Su Xiao has to free up his hands to help the family work, and the two families are very busy.

The spring rain continued, after the winter snow melted, the weather was unusually cold, Su Liu appeared in the Cao family's porridge shed with the snow and frost, looking at the homeless people who were lining up in a long line with the drizzle, she frowned.

"Let them divide the porridge faster." Su Liu tilted his head slightly, and asked Xueluo to summon the lady in charge of the porridge shed to speak.

"Big girl." The housekeeper in charge of the porridge shed is surnamed Kong, and she is in charge of the kitchen in Cao's house, she knows that her young lady is good friends with this Su girl, and the new lady who is going to marry her master is her mother, and she is also the fiancée of the general, so she is naturally respectful.

"Lady Kong, is this porridge enough?" Su Liu asked.

"Enough, enough, I'm staying up at the back." Kong Niangzi hunched her waist and said: "It seems that there are more homeless people today, if this war is not peaceful for a day, then it will ......."

Su Liu naturally knew her concerns, if the war was uneven, the displaced people would not be able to return to their hometowns, even if there was more food, it would not be enough.

"The government has already made an excerpt, and it has its own arrangements for coming to the imperial court." Su Liu smiled slightly, glanced at the drizzling sky again, and said, "It's the spring rain period now, I see that it won't be sunny in the next few days, and it's amazing that this spring cold will start." Lady Kong, there is enough ginger in the house, boil a few buckets, let them go to the cold, if it is not enough, buy it again. ”

Kong Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly complimented: "The girl is kind-hearted, these people are blessed." ”

"It's just what I can do, and I can do some of it. If someone asks, you can say that you mean your young lady and master. In this way, in the future, if your young lady marries the prefect's family, no one will look down on her because she is a businessman. Su Liu smiled faintly.

She is a layman, she has a good reputation, and she can earn some money, especially Cao Mingzhu, she was born in business, if she has this reputation of benevolence, she will be better off in the Song family and in the Anqing Hou Mansion in the future.

Mrs. Kong was really grateful at this time, and said in her heart, no wonder Miss and Miss Su were friends, and people were affectionate. At that moment, I said a few more compliments and went down to prepare.

When the news reached Cao Mingzhu's ears, she was stunned, moved and relieved, and said: "This girl just can't be hated." ”

In life, it is enough to have a confidant, and with a sister like Su Liu, she Cao Mingzhu is blessed.

The ginger soup was quickly cooked, and brown sugar was added to it, but Kong Niangzi didn't just say that it was the Cao family, but also took the Su Liu family, and the excuse used was also very ingenious, saying that the Cao family and the Su family were going to get married, which also made everyone happy, and the crowd burst into gratitude and congratulations, and they talked about it.

Su Liu heard this and showed a smile, this hole lady is also a wonderful person!

"Girl, look at that person, is it Uncle Su?" Shuang Ning suddenly tugged at Su Liu's sleeve.

Su Liu looked along her fingertips, and among the people crowded together, there was a man in ragged clothes with dirty hair looking at her side, holding a steamed bun in his hand, and when he saw her, he quickly lowered his head and disappeared in the crowd.

Although it was just a glance, Su Liu still recognized it, it was indeed Su Changsheng, her eyes narrowed.

Have you been reduced to being a beggar?

Su Changsheng hurriedly ran out of the stinky group of displaced people, and his heart was full of horror, the Chen family was actually going to marry that Cao Kui? How dare she remarry another man?

Thinking of his downfall along the way, in order to avoid the people in the gambling house, as well as the people in the government, hiding and hiding, they are no different from beggars, but they are about to get married, rich and noble, Su Changsheng felt that there was pain everywhere as long as he thought about it.

"Su Changsheng, your mother, I finally found you a son of a bitch, see where you are fleeing this time?"

Just when Su Changsheng was thinking about something, he was suddenly awakened by a voice, and when he looked up, his soul almost flew, and the steamed bun in his hand rolled down, and he subconsciously ran forward.

Mom, what do you really want to do, who are those thugs who are not in the gambling house? Damn, he can recognize it like this, is it still a human?

What's even more desperate is that he ran in a panic, but he ran into a dead end, looking at the high alley wall in front of him, and then hearing the footsteps behind him, Su Changsheng's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground.

Heaven is going to kill me!

"Run, why don't you run?" Three burly men in gray clothes approached him with a wry smile, twisting their necks and twisting their fingers as they spoke.

Su Changsheng showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said with a wry smile: "Master Hong, Master Zhou, hehe." ”

Before he could finish, his body hurt suddenly, and his waist was kicked and rolled to the ground, and before he could beg for mercy, the fists on his body fell like raindrops.

"Let you run, tell you to run, let the old men suffer in vain." Three men punched and kicked.

Su Changsheng cried out in pain and begged for mercy: "Stop fighting, I beg you, don't fight." Ouch, I have the silver, I have. ”

A man waved his hand when he heard this, and the other two immediately stopped, and the man grabbed his shirt with a hideous face: "Where is the silver?" As he spoke, he touched it with one hand, turned it over and over without scraping out a copper plate, and immediately became angry: "Ge Laozi, you dare to lie to Lao Tzu, brothers, continue to fight." ”

The fists and feet beckoned again, Su Changsheng rolled on the ground with a headache, and said, "I'm serious, but not with me." The Cao family, the Cao family, I know, and now the one who is serving porridge is my daughter, she has silver, really. ”

The man will be suspicious, they have heard of the Cao family of the porridge, they have heard of it, it is a big businessman, the daughter of the family is still the first beauty, and recently I heard that the Cao family and the Song prefect family are married, and the Cao beauty is going to marry the son of the prefect's family.

With Su Changsheng's character, can you still know such a character?

Seeing their suspicions, Su Changsheng said again: "I didn't lie to you, my daughter, my daughter is the general's fiancée, she has silver, as long as you let me go, I will definitely be able to get the silver and pay you back." ”

A few people glanced at each other, the general's fiancée?

"Big brother, it seems that there is such a thing, hasn't General Zhenwei been in the town of Baise for many years? I heard that it was a marriage, is it really true? A young man said.

"I swear, what I said is true, if it is false, the sky will thunder, there will be no corpses, and there will be no children and grandchildren." In order to win their trust, Su Changsheng hurriedly raised two fingers and swore an oath.

The ancients still believed in the gambling oath, and when they saw this, the oldest man said: "Hmph! Let's believe you once, if you really tell a lie, hum, see if you have a hard mouth or a hard fist. Walk! ”

Su Changsheng was dragged up by him, and secretly complained in his heart, he just saw Su Liu there, but whether she would save herself or not was one thing!

After Su Liu inspected the porridge shed, she went back to Cao's mansion, and as soon as she returned to her house, she was called by Cao Mingzhu.

Cao Mingzhu first pulled her to blame for a while, saying that the merits were pushed on their father and daughter, how Yunyun, and then took out a long list and said, "These are the dowry gifts prepared by Daddy, what do you think is missing?" Add it again. ”

Su Liu rolled his eyes and said, "I'm a woman, don't you want me to be embarrassed?" My mother also said, this family affair is not a big deal, this dowry or something, it is troublesome to move around, it is almost done, there are two families on the left and right, and then invite a few tables of banquets. ”

"In general, in the future, the housewife of our Cao family will still have the number of etiquette that should be there." Cao Mingzhu's grandmother Tang said with a smile.

Su Liu had no choice but to take it and take a look, it was all very complete, and said, "In this way, I will also write a dowry list again." ”

Cao Mingzhu hurriedly said: "As long as someone marries, it's fine." ”

Everyone laughed, and at this moment, a little maid came in in a panic, glanced at Su Liu carefully, and said, "Miss, girl, outside, there is someone outside who says that it is Miss Su's father, and he wants to find Miss Su!" ”
