Walking to the shelf and clipping a few pastries for himself, Song Qiuxue stood at the door and gnawed on it, as if she was not eating pastries, but her enemy.

"No wonder it's Murong Shan's friend, I didn't even know a word of apology when I saw Miss Ben, I looked like I didn't know or seen it, what was there to drag?"

The corners of her skirt sank, Song Qiuxue lowered her head and looked at the woman lying at her feet, a messy woman, and was frightened: "You...... What are you doing? ”

This person is a ghost, and he lay at her feet without making a sound, deliberately scaring her!

Su Yue hurriedly walked out when she heard the exclamation, and hurriedly reached out to help the woman up: "Do you need any help?" ”

The little girl looked about the same age as her, but she was much thinner than her, which was supposed to be the reason for the difficulty of life.

"Hungry...... I'm hungry. ”

The little girl opened her mouth with pleading eyes: "Kind sister, you can give me half a steamed bun and a bowl of well water, I'm not greedy." ”

"Let's go, come in with me."

Glancing at the dirty clothes on the woman's body, Su Yue personally helped the person into Yipinju, and found some pastries and mung bean syrup: "What about your family?" Why are you hungry like this? ”

Although the clothes on this woman's body are dirty, they are not damaged in the slightest, and it should be that the family has fallen into the middle of the road to become what it is now.

The little girl devoured more than a dozen pastries and drank a big bowl of sugar water, then gasped and said: "My mother died of illness when she fled, and I was alone in the capital for half a month, I don't know where to go, so I can only ask for some leftovers to eat every day." ”

Refugees? Su Yue looked at Song Qiuxue puzzled, Song Qiuxue frowned and said: "I know this, I heard that this year's harvest in some places has been affected by floods, and the people have no food to eat, so they wander around begging." ”

"What about the imperial court?" Su Yue pursed the corners of her lips: "In the event of this kind of natural disaster, the imperial court should open grain for disaster relief!" ”

Song Qiuxue approached Su Yue and whispered: "I know this, the emperor handed over the disaster relief to the Prime Minister, and I don't know how the Prime Minister did it, there have been more and more refugees in the capital recently, and my father has recently asked the housekeeper in the house to buy food everywhere, for fear that the Song family will starve." ”

"Master Song should take precautions."

Su Yuemeiyu frowned lightly, it seems that she should also buy some food to store, but then again, if there is really a surge of refugees in the capital, then her business will also be affected!

This hot pot restaurant, which has just opened for two days, will not be closed!

Seeing Su Yue's concern, Song Qiuxue looked disdainful: "You don't have to be afraid, because the Prime Minister is a person who cares about face, and he will never let the matter of refugees coming to the capital reach the emperor's ears." If these things were not for the dignitaries, the common people would basically never know about them. ”

"But in the end, it was the people who suffered!"

Sighing helplessly, Su Yue's eyes fell on the woman, and she smiled gently: "There is a shortage of helpers in my shop, if you have nowhere to go, are you willing to stay in Yipinju to do things?" I'll get a lot of money. ”

With this kind of good thing, the woman naturally nodded happily: "My name is Hua Haoyue, I am from the countryside dozens of kilometers away, what are the names of the two sisters?" ”

"My name is Su Yue, and she is Song Qiuxue."

Su Yue raised her eyebrows, Hua Haoyue? This doesn't sound like a country woman's name at all, but maybe her parents are literati!

The matter of taking in Hua Haoyue did not make Murong Shan worry too much, and in the evening, Su Yue prepared a large table of hot pot and barbecue, and Guan Shi and the others ate until late before leaving.

Sitting on the bed and looking at the pile of silver coins, Su Yue's palm-sized little face wrinkled together: "I thought I would earn a lot, but we have to buy materials and food, and then remove the wages of the guys in the store, and the real rest is less than one or two silver." ”

Murong Shan held the corner of his forehead with one hand and smiled helplessly: "These few people in the store can't eat much rice grain, and fifty wen a month is enough. ”

"It's different!"

After talking about the refugees, Su Yue blinked: "Master Song has been in business for many years, and his sense of smell and prediction are much stronger than mine, even he has stored food, I can't help but prepare!" ”

It's better to prepare more than nothing, at least not to starve to death because you can't buy food.

The curvature of the corners of Murong Shan's mouth gradually decreased, and his handsome face instantly became solemn; "I also know about this matter, Guan Shi said that the Prime Minister had already sent people outside the city to intercept those refugees, otherwise, the current Shengjing City would have been in chaos."

"This prime minister."

Su Yue was angry: "Is it going to go on like this forever?" Stop people only by forceful means? ”

It seems that Huang Shilong is trivial if he doesn't pay the bill when he eats, and his father regards the imperial decree as child's play.

Seeing that Su Yue was like a fried cat, Murong Shan stretched out his hand and pulled the person into his arms: "Don't worry, the prime minister alone in the imperial court has the power, and it won't be long before someone comes forward to solve it." ”

The affairs of the court are complex and changeable, and the implication is widespread, and it is not as simple as the daughter-in-law thinks.

Su Yue also knew that she had no right and position to meddle in things, so she nodded depressedly: "It is said that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the local county officials will have no fear to do evil." But now at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I can't imagine that it is the same. ”

No wonder the Xiang Guild took the initiative to leave the officialdom, if he was still a general, he might have to face various conspiracy traps every day.

Murong Shan hugged the body in his arms tightly and said softly: "Yue'er, I am just an ordinary person now, your husband. I don't want to get involved in the outside world, and I don't want to get some people's attention. ”

Staying in the capital is a risky move, if he is strong everywhere, he will not only attract the calculations of people with intentions, but also affect Su Yue.

Su Yue raised her head slowly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly: "Do you think I'm nosy about today's Hua Haoyue." ”

"Nope."

Gently kissing the woman's smooth and white forehead, Murong Shan's expression was complicated: "No matter how many refugees are displaced in the city, Yue'er, you have to promise me, don't help because of a little compassion, I don't want you to have anything to do." ”

This vague reminder made Su Yue feel complicated, the prime minister is in charge of the refugee affairs, and the ministers who are against the prime minister in the DPRK will naturally be very concerned about this matter, if she meddles in her affairs to help the refugees, it will be tantamount to indirectly robbing the prime minister of the credit.

At that time, she will become the target of many people's investigations, and Murong Shan's identity that has been hidden for many years will also be wasted, and the two of them will face an endless stream of killers.

A chill surged up her back, and Su Yue swallowed her saliva: "Okay, I promise you." ”

She opened a property to make money, not to be a living Lei Feng, and this kind of thing of saving the world and helping the people is better left to the court officials.

In the next few days, Su Yue devoted herself to business, and Hua Haoyue also became a helper with a smile all day long.

The number of refugees in the capital has gradually increased, the price of food has risen wildly, and although the business of the store is still very good, it has also plummeted a lot compared to before.

"Ugh."

Shopkeeper Zhao came back from outside with a few small servants, and sighed: "Miss Su, this grain is rising, and the meat and vegetables are also rising, if the price of our Yipinju hot pot does not rise, we will lose money." ”
