Chapter 107: Soup kitchen
Soho knew that the second prince was a royal nobleman, and he had been clothed and fed since he was a child, although he was generous and loving on the surface, but this disposition in his bones could not be changed.
Feng Yuanqing saw that the second prince respected Soho very much, so he was very careful and arranged a good room for Soho.
After settling down, Soho came to the second prince.
"Huh? Why didn't you rest? Running all the way, rest for a while, and wait for them to finish the meal before calling you out. The second prince said to Soho.
Soho stepped forward, the corner of his eye had already finished looking at this place, although the room was not as good as the furnishings of the rich house in Beijing, but it was also exquisite, and there were even a lot of snacks and fruits on the table, I really don't know how to get these things in this heavily flooded place.
"Can the second prince still rest?" Soho asked.
The second prince raised his eyebrows, "Huh? ”
"The victims outside have nothing to eat, and seeing that there is hunger on the road, does the second prince really sit idly by?" Su He asked, Xu was indeed angry in his heart, and what she said was a little rushed.
The second prince couldn't help frowning, no one had spoken to him like this yet. But it was Soho who gave him the idea, and he himself appreciated Soho, so he didn't get angry, but replied, "Didn't we come in person?" Didn't I come here and live in such a humble place to help these people? After a long journey, what about me resting? ”
Su Ho opened her mouth, powerless to refute, she suddenly realized that the class is different, and the concept is difficult to be the same, she was just an ordinary person in her previous life, although the family is very large, but she is more among the people at the bottom to help them, she has never had this kind of power and wealth, but the second prince is different.
Soho suddenly thought, if it was Zhou Jinghan, what would he do?
Even if she puts aside the connection between the second prince and Jiangling Sufu, she will not support this kind of person as the emperor, and the people's suffering is the most important thing.
"Second prince, I suggested soup kitchen, just now I went to the granary to take a look, the grain is sufficient, and asked the officials here, but said that the people have never opened a warehouse to put grain, so, is it inappropriate?"
The second prince didn't expect Su He to think so carefully, he said, "Until the last resort, there is no need to open a warehouse to release grain, if these victims taste the sweetness, they are only afraid of staying at the door every day!" ”
"Isn't this the last resort? The second prince, when he came, what he saw along the way, can't he be described with shocking words? A lot of people are dying! ”
The second prince pursed his lips, he also had an unhappy look on his face, he hated that someone was so disobedient to him, and he didn't like this tone even more.
Soho couldn't see the changes in the second prince, but if she didn't say anything, she couldn't do it, she could be cold, but she couldn't be so cold to innocent people that she watched them die!
But Soho also needs to weigh it, she can't offend the second prince at the moment, this person's mind is gloomy, she hasn't really seen it.
So Su Ho also softened his tone and said, "Second prince, you can think about it, since the emperor let the second prince come in person, it is to attach importance to the disaster here, that is, he doesn't want to let people die here, since the second prince is here, he must do everything well, only in this way, the emperor will be satisfied, and the people will love it, so opening a warehouse and releasing grain is really a good thing at first sight." ”
The second prince listened, knowing that Soho was already giving in, and what she said was indeed reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Okay, ...... tomorrow."
"No, it's going to start tonight!" Soho insisted again and again.
The second prince frowned, he stood with his hands in his hands, his face was grim, at this time, the power in his hands and his own identity were immediately highlighted, Soho finally really realized the horror of the second prince, his eyes flashed with a kind of light, a kind of self-respecting light that no one else questioned!
Soho was only shocked, not afraid.
"If the second prince doesn't agree, then I have to go back by myself now, otherwise, I will only have trouble sleeping and eating here, and I won't let the second prince's ears be quiet."
The second prince saw that Su He insisted repeatedly, he pursed his lips and turned his head to the side, and when he turned back again, his face was as usual, and Su He was also a little stunned, and for a while she thought that what she had just seen was an illusion.
"That's good, the third young lady is kind, but I didn't think about it, so I immediately ordered to go down and let people open a warehouse to release grain, cook porridge and give porridge." The second prince said.
Soho nodded, "The merits of the second prince will be remembered by the people of Jinzhou." With that, Soho hurried away.
The second prince looked at Soho's back, his eyes were dark, he originally admired Soho very much, but tonight, he found signs that she was at odds with himself, for a while, the second prince felt that things were a little tricky, if he completely received Soho under his command, it seemed that it would take some effort, the second prince sighed, such a smart but thoughtful woman is rare, if he can't get it, then ...... can only ruin her!
After Soho got the food, he began to cook porridge. The pot was already boiling water, and Soho walked in with rice, only to see that there was one more person in the originally empty kitchen. The man turned his back to her and picked up a piece of wood and stuffed it into the stove.
Soho didn't think it was an ordinary handyman, because he couldn't even burn a fire, but after a short while, he almost extinguished the fire in the stove in front of him, and it was full of firewood, and black smoke was rising.
"Who are you?" Soho asked coldly.
The man was stunned for a moment, then turned around and smiled at Soho.
Soho only felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
"Miss Su, it's me." As soon as the voice came out, Soho suddenly realized that it was the night shadow!
"Nightshade? What are you doing here? Soho was very excited and walked up to him and asked.
Nightshade smiled and said, "Miss Su, it's not just me who is here, but the master is also here. ”
Soho was even more surprised, and subconsciously looked around, and Nightshade said, "The master hasn't come here for a while, and you'll see you then." ”
Su Ho was surprised and asked, "Why did the prince suddenly come here?" ”
"Probably because the prince can't rest assured of you, so he came." Nightshade said with a smile.
Soho suddenly felt his face hot, "His hurt ......"
"The master is taking medicine on time every day now, so Miss doesn't have to worry." Night Shadow hurriedly said, it seems that Zhou Jinghan specially instructed it.
Soho nodded, looked at the smoking stove and said, "You're not the one to stay in the kitchen to help, so I'll do it." With that, Soho rekindled the fire.
Nightshade touched her nose with some embarrassment and whispered, "I...... I wanted to help. ”
Soho glanced at him and smiled and said, "I don't blame you if you know you're kind, by the way, how did you get in?" ”
"I came in over the wall." Nightshade replied casually.
Soho poured the rice into the pot and turned around, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" ”
"Don't look at the number of people and officials here, but there are not many people who really do practical things, it's very chaotic, don't say I'm over the wall, even if I swagger in through the door, they won't find out." Nightshade replied.
Soho believes that this is indeed chaotic enough.
By the time the porridge was ready, it was already completely dark.
The night moon also changed its face and followed Soho, and the night shadow disappeared into the darkness again, and disappeared at this time.
When she came to the street, the porridge bucket was erected, and there were already many refugees waiting with bowls, crowding was inevitable, the second prince only sent her people to help carry the porridge, but there were no officers and soldiers sent to maintain order, Soho knew that he was mostly deliberate, making it difficult for her to deal with these victims, so that she would regret not listening to him.
Soho stood in front of the barrel and said loudly, "Don't crowd everyone, everyone will get porridge." ”
Hearing Soho's shouting, although the crowd was light, it was still very chaotic.
Seeing this, Soho instructed the people around him, "Move the porridge back to a bucket." ”
When the victims saw that not only did they not give porridge, but they even went back, they were in a hurry.
"If you are crowded like this again, then I will bring back another barrel, and there will be no more tomorrow!" Soho shouted.
Only then did the victims stop and look at Soho quietly. Soho didn't want to do that, but there really wasn't any other way to do it.
"Come one by one, they're all lined up, and everyone will drink the porridge." Seeing that the victims had calmed down, Soho's tone became softer.
Yeyue has always been by Soho's side to prevent the victims from harming her.
Soon, there was a long queue in front of each barrel, and Soho was also holding a spoon for soup porridge.
By the time it was done, it was already late.
It was only when Soho's stomach rumbled that she remembered that she hadn't eaten yet.
Soho and Yeyue glanced at each other, forgetting to leave a ...... for themselves
There was no movement on the second prince's side, and it was clear that it was deliberate, that is, to make Su He regret her decision at that time, but Su He was never afraid of this, but she just felt a little congested, if it wasn't for the relationship between Zhou Chengyu and Jiangling Su Mansion, she wouldn't have followed him here!
So when Nightshade took the sesame cake he bought from afar, he saw such a scene: Soho and Nightmoon had most of their bodies in the rice bucket, scraping the last bit of rice.
Night Shadow couldn't help but exclaim, Ye Yue, this bastard boy, don't say it, Soho is a person who is favored and respected by their prince, is this kind of treatment here?
Hearing the sound of the Night Shadow, Soho and the Night Moon looked up in unison.
"Where's your boy? Yo, what goodies did you come with with you? Yeyue stepped forward with a smile, not at all feeling that there was anything wrong with the behavior she had just scraped the rice bucket.
Soho is still a little gentle, although there is a grain of white rice on her face, it can't stop her beautiful and cold and arrogant face, and it still makes people can't take their eyes off.
Nightshade glanced at Nightmoon with disgust, "It's not for you." With that, he walked up to Soho and said respectfully, "Miss, I'm coming back late." Soho looked at the fragrant pie and was really surprised, "Where did you find this?" ”
"I bought it somewhere else." Nightshade said, shoving the cake into Soho's hand.
By the temperature of the pie, Soho could guess that Nightshade must have traveled far to get it.
