Chapter 25: The Suffering of the People

Mu Yu placed the two grandparents and grandchildren in the "Yunqi Xuan" next to the "Fengyan Pavilion".

Ling Shuang boiled refreshing rice porridge in the kitchen, and asked Fluttershy and Qing'er to bathe and change their clothes, and Mu Yu checked the pulse of the little girl, and found that she was suffering from the wind cold and not being treated in time, which caused inflammation in the lungs, and the high fever did not subside, and her little face was crimson. She immediately prescribed the medicine and ordered someone to grab it.

The old woman who had changed into a new dress came to the pastor with a cane, and knelt down with a "plop knock": "Benefactor, you are really our great benefactor, the grace of saving your life is unrepaid, and the old woman can only kowtow to you a few more times." So saying, he threw himself to the ground.

"Old man, please get up quickly, it's just a gesture, not to mention that those officers and soldiers are bullying people too much, it's really hateful." The old man sat down with him.

"Benefactor, Xiaoya's life was saved by you, if you don't dislike it, let her stay by your side to be a cow and a horse, in order to repay the grace of saving her life!" The old woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at her granddaughter who was dying on the bed with pity. Thinking that he is like a candle in the wind, he will leave at any time, leaving Xiaoya alone is afraid that it will be difficult to live, and now that he meets this nobleman, if he can take her in, he can leave with peace of mind.

Of course, Mu Yu knew the old man's thoughts, and after thinking about it for a while, he responded to the request and said softly: "Old man, you and Xiaoya should stay, anyway, there are not many people in the garden, and it is lively to live together." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" As he spoke, the old man was about to kneel down and kowtow again.

"No need to thank you, Xiaoya has Qing'er to take care of them, so you can rest assured." The shepherd stops her and motions for Fluttershy to help her down.

As soon as Ling Shuang entered the house, she saw Mu Yu standing in front of the window, staring at the dark clouds rolling up in the sky in a daze. It's been sunny for many days, and I'm afraid it's going to change.

"Miss, you can eat something first." Ling Shuang placed the food on the round table, it was almost time to apply, but they hadn't had lunch yet.

"Are you still angry about today's events? Alas! This kind of thing happens every day, and it's not cost-effective to get angry! Seeing that Mu Yu was still stunned, Ling Shuang stepped forward and pulled her to sit at the table.

"You say it happens every day?" Mu Yu watched as Ling Shuang put vegetables in his bowl.

"Yes, don't look at the bustling and prosperous place in the capital, in fact, the people of Changli are very bitter, there is no food in many places, they can't stand the hunger, those people only have the background of leaving their hometown to flee, I and Xueying on the way to the capital, we saw several groups of such refugees." Ling Shuang sighed in her heart.

"It is said that the land of Changli is fertile and suitable for farming, and the banks of the Chang River are rich in aquatic products, with beautiful fish and shrimp, how can there be no food?" Although the herd has never come down the mountain, the person in charge of the purchase of the mountain villa always comes back to say so.

"That was before, in these years, the Changhe River flooded every year, the fields and houses were destroyed, and the court sat idly by, but whenever an official played, he would pull out some silver money, and after the money was filled by the officials, they did nothing. In this way, the floods continue every year, and many people in Changhe County have fled for refuge. In the past few years, she and Hanxiao have often followed the manager of the villa down the mountain to buy, and they have heard a lot about these things.

"Unexpectedly, as the stinky old man said, Changli Country is already a poor livelihood. The old emperor was still in the mood to celebrate his birthday, and the most hateful thing was that in order not to lose face in front of the envoys of other countries, even the beggar had to be imprisoned. It is really sad that such a great river and mountain are in the hands of such a person! The pastoral rumor was indignant.

Ling Shuang said: "However, the situation has improved in the past two years, I heard that since the return of the 'King Chen' to Beijing, the waters of the Chang River have been governed, although the results are not great, but the resettlement of the people has been greatly improved, and the number of refugees has decreased compared with the past, but the prince is afraid that the prestige of the 'King Chen' in the hearts of the people is too high, and he always makes a hindrance from it." ”

Ling Shuang saw that the food was not moved, and comforted: "Miss, why worry, these are the affairs of the Changli royal family, even if we do good deeds every day, we can't save the people of the world, it's better to take care of your body first." ”

Mu Yuxiu frowned slightly, picked up the bowl and ate two bites, then suddenly put it down again, and said with a solemn expression: "Ling Shuang, I thought about it, let's not open an inn, just open a medical hall." "Although he can't save the people of the world, the pastoral rumor will never allow himself to die without saving, and as for those who can't see it, he can only sigh.

Looking at Mu Yu's firm eyes, Ling Shuang nodded fiercely: "Well, whatever Miss says, I'll go find a shop tomorrow." ”

It rained all night last night, washing the sky blue, and the transparent water droplets fell on the young leaves, trembling, and the fresh air carried the sweet fragrance of faint flowers.

With a new goal, Mu Yu felt full of strength, and went out with Ling Shuang early, after nearly two hours of running, finally in the Qinghe River at the junction of the East and West City, found a shop to be transferred out, due to the high bid of Mu Yu, the two sides quickly negotiated the terms, paid the deposit, signed the contract and drew a charge, and the store was owned by Mu Yu three days later.

After doing all this, Mu Yu was in a great mood, and he and Ling Shuang wandered along the Qing River.

The sun after the rain is particularly dazzling, and the golden light envelops the calm atmosphere of Longyang City. The two chatted while walking, the spring flowers on the side of the road were blooming very well, and the pastoral rumors stopped to watch, but they had no intention of catching a glimpse of a pair of young men and women with a few maid ring guards on the Qinghe Bridge, walking towards this side.

The woman's face was like a hibiscus, her eyes were full of spring water, her cheeks and smiles were delicate and moving, as if she had lost the color of this infinite spring, but Mu Yu fixed her eyes on the man beside her, the man was dressed in an ink-colored brocade robe, his posture was straight, handsome and extraordinary, the face was even more delicate and handsome, moving, sideburns like a knife, eyebrows like ink paintings, a firm nose bridge, thin and shapely lips, especially the narrow eyes like deep pools, shining like stars. Such a stunning pair attracted the attention of passers-by.

Mu Yu felt that the man looked a little familiar, so he looked at it twice, not wanting to meet the deep eyes, only for a moment the man looked away, looked at the woman beside him, laughed softly as he walked, and turned out of her sight.

Seeing that she was distracted, Ling Shuang called a few times.

Mu Yu retracted his mind and continued to walk forward, but his mind kept replaying the picture just now: that posture, that look like a person, could it be him?
