Chapter 69: Refugees Rush to the City

Following. Su Yirong woke up at this time. It's already noon. I slept very peacefully. Wake up in the morning. The mood is also very good.

Xiaoxue saw a smile between her eyebrows. He asked with a smile. Miss. Why are you so happy?"

Su Yirong restrained the smile on his face. Smiled: "A new day begins. Of course I'm glad."

Xiaoxue showed a look of disbelief. Su Yirong immediately stepped forward and gently tapped her forehead. smiled: "The little girl still doesn't believe it. Hurry up and get busy." Seeing Xiaoxue leave with a smile. Su Yirong walked to the swing in the courtyard and sat down. Reached out and stroked the corners of his mouth. You can feel the corners of your mouth rise slightly.

Time flies. Peach blossoms bloom all over. It's been three months in the blink of an eye.

Early spring morning. The smoky sunlight is sprinkled warmly in every courtyard of the capital. Pink peach blossoms dye all over the capital. Delicate. The thin, transparent petals resemble butterfly wings. A breeze blows. The sky is full of flowers and rain dancing in the wind.

These days. Su Yirong went out of the house several times. There seem to be a lot more beggars on the streets than usual. Not only men and women. There are many more children and old people. They were all in rags. Yellow face and thin muscles. She stepped forward and asked. Only then did I learn that they were all refugees who had fled to the capital.

Su Yirong couldn't bear it. Exchange all the money on your body for strings of copper coins and send them to him. But there are too many refugees in the capital. It's not a long-term solution either. What's more. Able to solve their last ton. The next meal is gone. Refugee matters. The court has to take care of it.

She hurried home. I saw a few gorgeous carriages and a few magnificent and graceful warm sedan chairs parked outside the house. The palanquin drivers respectfully stood aside. The horses are impatiently digging into the ground with their hooves.

Su Yirong frowned slightly. Step up to the Smoke House. before walking to the courtyard. I saw the maid send some tea and pastries into the study from time to time. The sound of conversation inside was also faintly heard. Think back to these days. She could always see several carriages and sedan warmers outside the house. At first, I didn't care. thought it was just a few princes in the palace who were good friends with him coming over. Now think about it. Even if the relationship is very her. You don't have to come every day.

I saw Steward Cui coming out of the study. Su Yirong hurriedly called him over. Q." Cui Steward. Has the prince been in the study these days?"

Cui housekeeper frowned. nodded and said, "The prince has been busy these days and has less time to rest. I often can't sleep until late at night."

Wenyan. Su Yirong also frowned slightly. So what's going on?"

Steward Cui shook his head. The minion is just a subordinate. The Master's business. Minions are not clear. I just listened to the conversation of the masters. It seems to be about the refugees in the capital."

"It's all right. You go and get busy with you."

Steward Cui bowed down and retreated. There was a commotion in the courtyard. Several princes and ministers in brocade robes came out of the study. Keep talking. Walk outside the house.

After they are gone. Su Yirong was still standing quietly. Thinking about it in my head. If you talk about how to solve the problem of refugees in the capital. Why be so nervous? Thereinto. There must be all kinds of powerful relationships involved.

I'm meditating. Suddenly, I heard a voice next to my ear say, "Sixth sister-in-law. Why are you here?"

She listened to the voice of the Thirteen Princes. Hurriedly raised his head. Look at him. Q." You're in the study. It's not just about the refugees."

Thirteen looked at her with slightly surprised eyes.

"If only to solve the refugee matter. Is it worth your painstaking deliberations?" Su Yirong asked.

Thirteen stroked his forehead. We're really just figuring out how to deal with the refugees." He paused. But. You should know about the sixth brother. He has always been very strict in his work. There is no room for error."

Su Yirong glanced at Thirteen suspiciously. And I felt that Thirteen didn't tell her the truth. After Thirteen is gone. Su Yirong glanced at the study. Stepping up. I didn't take a few steps. I turned back to the door of the study.

She knocked on the door. Waited a while. There was no sound in it. She had no choice but to push the door open and go in. At a glance, I saw Leng Yanxi lying on the bookcase. The tired ones have fallen asleep.

Su Yirong looked at him with some surprise. Steward Cui's words immediately came to mind. He's been busy for days and hasn't had a good night's sleep.

The study was extremely quiet. She stood in the doorway. It was as if you could hear his shallow breathing. Seeing that he was tired and asleep. She turned to go back. Suddenly there was a "snap" sound behind him. She was taken aback. When I turned around, I saw a book falling to the ground. Su Yirong stepped forward and put the scroll back on the bookcase. Glancing at him under his arm pressed a book.

Curiosity swelled up. She looked at the fold on the table. Although some words are not very recognizable. But I can read a general meaning. The content on the fold says that the Yellow River dam is in disrepair. The silver taels allocated by the imperial court to the magistrates were all embezzled. And this time the refugees poured into the city. It was also the relief money allocated by the imperial court that was embezzled. Refugees have lost their shelter. fled all the way to the capital. You can only live by begging. There is also content after the excerpt. It's a pity that he was held down by his hand.

She suddenly thought of the last trip to Jiangnan. I barely saw him for days. Presumably he went to find out about the disappearance of the silver. But. It's been so long since I've been back in Beijing. There was no movement at all. Don't. He wasn't looking for the missing money. Su Yirong couldn't figure it out. It is not a matter of finding out the money; And for what? She can't always think. He suddenly wanted to go to Gangnam to play.

Thought of the history of history. No matter which dynasty there is official corruption. This dynasty, which she did not know, was not immune. It's just that. When she really saw the refugees she saw on the street. The anger in my heart is even stronger.

Cold and hot tides are hard working day and night these days. I guess I'm worried about this. Dare to swallow two huge sums of money in a row so boldly. Then this person's power in the court must not be underestimated. At least. His power can easily hold down the folds on it. Thinking of the words before thirteen. She was now sure he must have known about the embezzlement of the two pieces of silver. And Leng Yanxi and he must be investigating this matter. He doesn't tell her. I'm afraid that the more people who know. The more you will startle the snake.

See the look of his deep brow. I'm afraid this matter is very tricky. Su Yirong sighed secretly in his heart. I saw a few coats hanging on the shelf next to me. So he took off the next one. Gently draped it over him. Get out of the study. Su Yirong gently closed the door. Step back to Su Yi Xuan. The mood is very heavy.

As she passed through the garden. was stopped by Ye Yuzhen. Turn your head to look over. I saw Jade really sitting by the lake. Reach out and spill the fish food in your hand into the lake.

Su Yirong walked over. Ye Yuzhen pulled her to sit down in the gazebo by the lake. Q." What's wrong. The appearance of the soul not giving up. Did something happen?"

She was thinking about the contents of the fold. I almost blurted it out. Fortunately, the response was prompt. "Nothing. I'm just thinking about some of the things I've encountered on the street today." She exhaled inwardly. I was relieved that I almost leaked my mouth just now. Thinking in my heart. If it's because she accidentally saw the folded content and accidentally said that she missed her mouth. The grass scared the snake. Then she will hate herself to death.

"I saw you coming from the direction of the prince's courtyard. Isn't it bothered by the prince's affairs?" Yu Zhen asked with a smile.

Su Yirong was slightly startled. Laughing: "Why do you ask that."

"I also heard from the little grass girl. In the past few days, there have always been ministers who have come to the prince to consult. Is there something going on?"

Hear her say that. Su Yirong breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Said: "I'm listening to the butler. Recently, there have been a lot of refugees out of the capital. The prince discussed with several ministers how to solve the problem of food, clothing, and shelter for the refugees."

"Refugees." Yu Zhen was obviously a little surprised. Again." Is it a lot?"

Knowing that Yuzhen rarely goes out of the house. I didn't know that there were a lot of refugees on the streets. Su Yirong said: "The streets are full of refugees. A lot."

"I still have some silver tickets for jewelry. Tomorrow we'll distribute it to them." Yuzhen said seriously.

Wenyan. She was touched by Yuzhen's kindness. But Yuzhen's background is pitiful. He didn't have much money on him. She hurriedly said, "Yuzhen. Keep the jewels and silver for yourself. The refugees on the street have attracted the attention of the imperial court. I'm sure it will be resolved soon."

Yuzhen meditated for a while. Said: "Also. That little money. It doesn't help much."

See her like this. Su Yirong comforted: "I still have money. As. Tomorrow we're going to set up a tent and give porridge."

Following. Su Yirong and Ye Yuzhen took the people from the palace to the street to give porridge. From afar, I saw that many people were queuing up to receive porridge. Some elderly, women and children with porridge in their hands. I'm drinking it carefully.

They stepped forward. I learned that this porridge shack was built at the expense of King Ning, the fifth prince.

"Unexpected. The fifth prince is still a kind-hearted person." Su Yirong muttered to himself.

Side. Xiaoxue asked. Miss. Do we still give porridge?"

Su Yirong raised his hand and gently knocked on Xiaoxue's head. "Of course we have to continue. There are so many refugees on the streets."

They also began to make porridge on the porridge shed of the five princes. Look at the refugees on the street. Su Yirong couldn't help but muttered to herself again. The problem of these refugees fleeing famine has not yet been solved. It's not a recipe either."

"yes. I didn't expect that. There will be so many refugees on the streets." Ye Yuzhendao.

"What does it feel like to suddenly feel overwhelmed?" Su Yirong said with emotion.

It's night. Su Yirong returned to Su Yixuan a little tired. Just walk to the yard. I saw Leng Yanxi sitting at the stone table. Waiting for her in the yard. Seems to have been waiting for a while.

"Why are you here?" She asked.

Leng Yanxi glanced at Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue immediately retreated. He slowly approached her. Q." You've been to my study."

"That's right. But you're resting on your desk. I'm afraid to wake you up. You're going to be angry. After draping the clothes on the rack over you. I'll go back to Su Yixuan." Su Yirong said. Know that he comes. I wanted to test her. Whether you see the content on the fold. So she deliberately omitted the paragraph where she saw the content on the fold.
