Chapter Ninety-Nine: Doubts
"Miss, they're so pitiful." Yan Bing wiped the corners of her eyes, looking at them and remembering herself who fled to Beijing many years ago, but she was lucky, as soon as she entered the city, she met her wife......
After figuring out the reason why they would rather die than go out of the city, Ji Wan also sighed: "Auntie, you don't think about yourself, you have to think more about your children, such a rainy day, after a long time, the children will get sick if they don't eat or wear, I know you don't believe them, why don't you go with me, I built a soup kitchen shed at the city gate, you take the children there to get some food." ”
"Could it be that the girl is the living Bodhisattva who set up a tent at the gate of the South City yesterday to give porridge?" Another woman asked.
"Red matchmaker, the porridge and cakes we received at the city gate yesterday afternoon were given by this girl, she is our savior, if it wasn't for yesterday's meal, we might have ......" The woman choked up, unable to speak, and her dirty face was covered with tears.
Ji Wan didn't dislike it at all, he took out his handkerchief and was about to hand it over, but Yan Bing hurriedly stopped: "Miss use the slave's." ”
In fact, Ji Wan was also carrying an ordinary handkerchief today, and there was no mark, but seeing Yan Bing like this, he didn't want to touch her.
The woman took the handkerchief and thanked her again and again, and several people knelt in front of Ji Wan with the children and kowtowed vigorously.
Ji Wan hurriedly helped them up: "I can't afford it, get up quickly, the porridge shed is a good one for me to build, I just stayed for a while yesterday morning, and the rest of the time a few of my maids are busy there, you don't have to be like this." ”
"The girl is a living Bodhisattva, obviously doing great things and being so modest, I heard people say, those rice noodles are all transported by the girl, we are all village women who don't know a few words, we can't say anything good to be obedient, but the good luck is still clear, several of our lives are saved by the girl, we don't believe what they say, but we believe what the girl says, we are willing to go with the girl." The red lady said as she glanced at the two officials.
Ji Wan lowered her eyes slightly, she was originally doing this for selfishness, but the current situation made her a little at a loss.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Yan Bing saw that she was a little distracted and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, take them and let's go."
Yan Bing didn't ask any more questions, picked up one of the women who had some difficulty moving, and then beckoned to the two officials: "What are you still doing there stupidly, come and help." ”
When the two officials saw that they had really persuaded these homeless people, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ran over quickly, they all had tasks on them, and if these people refused to leave, they would have to follow them.
"Girl, what can the villain do to help, just say?" The thin man smiled even more flatteringly.
They heard about the Prime Minister's Mansion Miss Ji giving porridge at the South City Gate yesterday, but they didn't expect to encounter it today, but fortunately, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
"Pick up the two little ones and go."
"Okay."
The two children were a little frightened, and shrank to their mother's side, and after some persuasion by Yan Bing, the two officials carried a child and followed Ji Wan towards the south gate.
Along the way, many passers-by looked at them curiously.
The south gate has changed dramatically from yesterday, and the imperial court has built a new porridge shed opposite them to serve porridge to refugees entering and leaving.
The city gate was full of officials and refugees, and it was very lively for a while, and you could see the shacks made of oilcloth and wood outside the city from a distance.
A young man in an official uniform commanded back and forth at the city gate, and from time to time he would personally help.
"Is that your Lady Yin?" Ji Guan's eyes crossed a different color and looked at the two officials.
"If Miss Hui Ji is concerned, it is our Lord Yin, our Lord Zhang Ziqin is a good official who loves the people like a son, or the champion of the last time, everything here is arranged by him personally."
This Zhang Ziqin Ji Wan has some impressions, talented, extraordinary character, is an honest and honest good official, Xu Liang's concubine Xu Yuhui in the previous life committed an accident was arrested by Zhang Ziqin, Aunt Xu also deliberately asked her to go back to ask her grandfather to put pressure on Zhang Ziqin, so as to rescue Xu Yuhui, as for why she didn't ask her father Ji An, Ji Wan couldn't figure it out, Xu wanted to squeeze her more thoroughly.
It's just that although Ji Wan was weak at that time, he didn't understand anything, he pretended to be deaf and dumb for a few days, and even if Xu gritted his teeth with hatred, he couldn't do anything about her, and in the end Xu Yuhui was sentenced to exile.
"Yan Bing, take them to eat something."
Ji Guan went straight to the porridge shack, personally picked up the wooden spoon containing the porridge, and helped Qinglu and the others to serve porridge to the refugees.
"Miss, why are you here, it's enough to have slaves and maids, it's dirty and tired here, it's not the place where Miss should come." Qinglu saw that Ji Wan was personally starting again, and hurriedly persuaded.
"It's okay, it's not the first time, be careful and you'll be fine." Ji Wan smiled faintly and handed the porridge to the refugees in line.
After the women finished eating, Ji Wan personally handed them over to the officials, took them down to settle down, and gave them some money to ask them to hire a doctor for them.
These actions all fell into a pair of eyes in the distance.
Zhang Ziqin squinted his eyes slightly and looked here, the matter of Prime Minister Ji Cheng's eldest daughter giving porridge at the South City Gate yesterday had spread, I thought it was just pretending, after all, Miss Ji's reputation in Kyoto City is not very good.
It is also common for these noble ladies to give some small favors in order to save their reputation, but they didn't expect that this Miss Ji would really give porridge to these ragged refugees herself, and there was no trace of disgust in her demeanor, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, he would never believe it.
Ji Wan naturally noticed his gaze, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and the movements in his hands didn't stop, and he was busy with himself.
"Miss, take a break and let the slave come." Yan Bing stepped forward to take the wooden spoon in her hand, and Ji Guan's goal had been achieved, so he gave up his position to Yan Bing.
"Miss Cousin, there's news." Zhou Zheng walked to Ji Guan's side and whispered.
"Come with me."
Walking to a secluded place, Ji Wan asked, "But there's news from the pharmacy?" ”
"Exactly." Zhou Zheng took out a note and handed it to Ji Guan: "This is the prescription I got from the pharmacy." ”
Ji Wan opened it and frowned after taking a look: "But what is the use of this prescription?" ”
"The villain asked, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy said that this is an ordinary health care prescription."
Not to mention that Ji Wan didn't understand, Zhou Zheng was also speechless, thinking that it was a peerless secret recipe, it turned out to be an ordinary body-tonic recipe.
