Chapter Ninety-Six: Cheap Compassion

Due to the difference between men and women, neither General Xiaomeng nor Commander Han could enter the inner room to visit the sick, and only the young Mu Xian could enter. Mu Xian looked at Luo Xiaoran, who was so bad that he couldn't get out of bed, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Brother, sister-in-law is so serious, do you want to ask the doctor to come and take a look?" ”

Luo Xiaoran glared at someone who was sitting on a chair reading a book with his peripheral eyes, "No need, I'll just rest for a day." ”

Mu Xian was skeptical, "Really? ”

Luo Xiaoran smiled softly and responded.

"Sister-in-law's cold came so suddenly this time," he said, he looked at the hot charcoal fire burning in the room, and muttered: "The charcoal fire in this house is quite sufficient, I slept sweating last night......

The smile on Luo Xiaoran's face faintly had a tendency to collapse.

In the afterglow, he gritted his teeth even more when he looked at someone who was there with the old god.

Fortunately, Mu Xian didn't stay in the room for too long, and seeing that Luo Xiaoran was still in good spirits, he left-I was afraid that Murong Jue's reprimand for him last night was too harsh, and this kid didn't dare to brush his presence in front of Murong Jue at all.

Due to Luo Xiaoran's wind and cold, the group stayed in Bianzhou for one more day.

Early the next morning, I left the inn early and went to Xiangzhou.

Luo Xiaoran and Commander Han have already seen the people's feelings in Xiangzhou, and the four words of poverty are not enough to describe it, while General Xiaomeng is living a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and he does not have much feeling about poverty, and Murong Jue's cold and solemn face can't see any emotion, and the only one who shows his emotions on his face is Mu Xian's children.

He looked at the young men and girls who were sitting on the side of the road in rags, with a straw stuck in their hair like withered grass, and after knowing what the straw meant, he said almost indignantly: "Those children look younger than me, what can they do if they are sold?" ”

At this time, several people were sitting in a simple tea shop on the side of the road.

Luo Xiaoran picked up the tea bowl that lacked a mouthful, and slowly drank the warm water, "The slave burns the fire girl and the boy, and the most lacking thing in the mansion is cheap labor." ”

Mu Xian was stunned, and his black eyes flashed with unbearability.

seemed to want to say something, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at Murong Jue's place, and closed his open mouth again.

Murong Jue also noticed it, put down the tea bowl in his hand gently, and said lightly: "Put away your cheap sympathy." ”

Mu Xian's cheeks quickly flushed.

The little boy's self-esteem was once again criticized by Murong Jue in person.

Luo Xiaoran resisted the urge to be upset for Mu Xian, it is the nature of filial piety to be soft-minded and kind-hearted, and not everyone has developed a hard-hearted heart like you at a young age.

She sighed and patted Mu Xian on the shoulder, "Brother Xian, you go over and give them money now." ”

Mu Xian was surprised and ignored his expression, and immediately looked at Luo Xiaoran, "Really?" Can I really do that? As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Murong Jue with a weak heart.

Luo Xiaoran bowed his head, and the smile on his face remained unchanged, "Naturally, it's okay." When you give them money, they will naturally have money to buy food so that they don't starve to death. ”

Mu Xian nodded violently, and while reaching out to rub it into his sleeve pocket, he said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, how much money should I give them?" It's winter now, and it's best to let them stay up until the spring when the flowers bloom, when the natural fields will naturally have food. ”

Luo Xiaoran sighed.

Rare tangled down.

Mu Xian answered for him: "Three taels of silver is enough for a family's expenses for a year." ”

Mu Xian immediately took out four taels of silver from the money bag, and turned around to send the money, but Luo Xiaoran grabbed his sleeve, and he looked back at her puzzled, "Sister-in-law?" ”

Luo Xiaoran smiled unabated, and motioned for him to sit down first with his eyes, "You answer my two questions first, if you can answer it, I will guarantee that you will not stop you." After speaking, she pointed to Murong Jue, who was sitting calmly on the side, with her finger, "Your brother won't stop you." ”

Mu Xian's eyes rolled, and he asked a little weakly, "Sister-in-law, you won't take my endorsement?" ”

Luo Xiaoran shook her head, only to hear her soft voice, in the cold wind and cold tea shop, like a warm wind ironing people's hearts: "You have also seen that now Xiangzhou is starving, the people are not happy, it is difficult to think that it is difficult for a family to be hungry, otherwise it is not to let the children of the family sell themselves, so in the case of not having enough to eat, how can they have the physical strength to go to the field to harvest and plant in the autumn and spring, and the grain output in the field will naturally plummet, and the reaction to the market is that the price of grain has become sky-high." If you give them a tael of silver, even ten taels of silver or a hundred taels of silver can't smash so much sky-high grain. ”

An excited smile gradually faded from Mu Xian's face, and he didn't seem to have thought about it before.

Luo Xiaoran continued: "If you are the son of a merchant with a good heart, you can throw money at them, or buy food from other places, and open a porridge shop to give porridge to do good deeds. And you, as a royal heir, have the power that businessmen don't have, so why should you emulate their actions? ”

After Luo Xiaoran finished speaking, Murong Jie, who was sitting on the side, let out a cold snort.

Mu Xian's face turned red again.

At this time, his heart was not as embarrassed as when he was criticized by Murong Jie, but ashamed.

Although General Xiaomeng and Commander Han wanted to sit with them, it was too quiet in the tea shop, and every word Luo Xiaoran said clearly fell into their ears.

General Xiaomeng glanced thoughtfully at the famous Queen Mother, and once again sighed that the woman who could take down His Majesty was really not simple, for His Royal Highness the Young and Ignorant Virtuous King, what a blessing he should have, so that he had the enlightenment and guidance of the Queen Mother.

The gaze that fell on Luo Xiaoran gently swept over Murong Jue.

In the deceitful royal family, this young majesty was still able to inherit the throne step by step after being abandoned as an abandoned son, and when everyone in the world misunderstood him and regarded him as a cold-blooded, ruthless, and moody emperor, he was still able to cultivate and support a young brother so carefully, which was not a great luck for His Royal Highness the Virtuous King.

In the end, General Xiaomeng's eyes fell on Mu Xian.

Secretly sighed, I just hope that this young highness will not live up to this great blessing, this great favor.

Just when General Xiaomeng's thoughts were up and down, Luo Xiaoran at the other table had already led the topic elsewhere, only to hear her coquettish appearance, there was a gentle pulse between her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and her smile was like a spring breeze in May, and like a wisp of sweetness that could penetrate into people's hearts.

People couldn't help but smile along with her pleasant voice.

After resting in the dilapidated tea shop, the group hurried again.

The winter night comes early, they will live in a well-paid inn when the night falls, this inn does not see a shopkeeper, before and after a shopkeeper is busy, cold to meet their big business door, happy shopkeeper while wiping tears, while saying: "The ancestors of the old and young generations are all running inns, but this Xiangzhou is really too poor, the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the locals are disgusted, how can there be people from other states willing to come to stay." If it weren't for the reluctance of the old and young to give up the livelihood of their ancestors, they would have abandoned this place early and escaped from this shabby place. ”
