Chapter 391: It's like drinking a pot of water
On the second day, when Bai Ling took people out of Beijing, he found that there was a long queue at the gate of the city, and he thought that something was wrong, so Haitang asked people to go over to investigate.
"Girl, there are hundreds of carriages in front of us, except for a few marked women's vehicles, which seem to be some food or something, and the obedient mouth is going to give alms outside the city." The little girl was bought in the capital, and she was originally an official slave by the convicted official, so she has the ability to find out the news.
"It's not a trouble, where to buy it and queue up with peace of mind." Bai Ling saw that nothing had happened, so he didn't ask anymore.
The little girl answered, and went to the carriage behind.
Although Bai Ling's carriage was large and comfortable, except for Begonia, only Forsythia was qualified to sit.
The other girls can get the master to prepare a carriage alone, and also prepare charcoal basins and hot water for snacks, which is already the master's favor.
However, Bai Ling is not bad for money, and he has always been generous to his subordinates.
Except for those who want to drive the carriage, they can rest in the carriage, so that everyone takes turns to catch the carriage, and they are not afraid of freezing and getting sick.
There was a delay of more than an hour at the city gate, after all, this is the capital, and the inspection is still relatively strict.
However, when encountering the family members of real officials, they will also release water a little, otherwise the errand of the city defenders will be lost.
When Bai Ling and his party came to the place where they gave yesterday, they found that there were already more than a dozen families giving alms, and coincidentally, they all gave food and copper coins.
There are also two families who simply come out with the government doctor, give away medicine for free, and there is also an extremely long queue.
But everyone is like an appointment, but no one cooks porridge and gives steamed buns.
"The slave maid went to see it just now, and the least one gave forty catties of grain and twenty copper coins. The maximum was given fifty pounds of coarse grain and fifty copper coins. The two families who came with the government doctor were the families of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department and the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, and they gave 50 catties of coarse grain, free medical treatment and medicine, but did not give copper coins. ”
Before the shack was set up, the little girl had already turned around and came back and reported the news to Bai Ling.
"The slaves and maids saw that the coarse grains they gave were all old grains, mixed with a lot of shells and stones, and it was estimated that the maximum amount of money they would not reach 30 catties after cleaning up."
The latter words, the little girl said very quietly.
Bai Ling was satisfied with the little girl, so he said to Haitang: "During this time in the capital, you should take her with you, lest as soon as we leave, our eyes will be blackened by the affairs of the capital." ”
Begonia responded, and the little girl was overjoyed with gratitude.
"In the future, you will be an errand in my yard, and you will be a second-class girl first." After Bai Ling finished speaking, he entered the shack.
Probably because Bai Ling's medical skills are too famous, so some people who want to see a doctor immediately rush to this side when they see Bai Ling coming, and they have already consciously lined up.
In the end, it is not a big disaster year, and the number of beggars and victims here is not too many.
But there are many people who come to give alms, and they all give food, and many villagers in the vicinity have also changed into shabby clothes and come over, wanting to get some food for their families to spend the winter.
Just looking at the complexions of these people and the degree of dirt on their bodies, Bai Ling could see that he was tired, but he would not debunk it.
Most of the real dealers are struggling with food and clothing, and life is not easy.
Anyway, Bai Ling had already planned how much food he would send out, and what he brought every day was a ration, and it didn't make a difference who took it.
However, those rich families in the capital have to follow Bai Ling's footsteps, and they have to overpower Bai Ling, and they will have to lose a lot of silver.
"County Lord, my son has a fever, but I told him to be silent, and he didn't know how to eat if he didn't feed him, did his brain burn out?" The woman with the baby in her arms came yesterday, and this time she was queuing up to see a doctor.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll show the child." Seeing that the woman used the padded jacket she gave her yesterday to wrap the child tightly, Bai Ling's tone was also a little gentle.
The women's gang made a noise to disturb, and when she saw Bai Ling frowning, her heart hung again.
"The child has a fever for the time being, but in the end it hurts the viscera, let's take a few more days. If he is still like this in a few days, there is no cure over there. Bai Ling withdrew his hand.
Don't say it's ancient times, even in that era of advanced technology, there were children who died of pneumonia because of fever, and there were also fools who eventually became fools.
The woman's body shook and she almost fell down with her child.
"The county lord save my child, I only have such a son, if something happens to him, how will I live in the future!" The woman fell to her knees with the child in her arms and wept aloud.
Signaling Haitang to help the person up, Bai Ling was relieved: "The child's body is already weak, and his illness has dragged on for too long, maybe he is too tired." Let him slow down for a few days, keep warm, and let him eat more.
For three or five days at most, if the child does not have a fever and is still like this, it is not something that can be cured by medicinal stones.
But don't despair, sister-in-law, generally burnt out her brain because of high fever, and it is also divided into benign and malignant. If you are completely stupid, you can only let your family take care of it more.
If his intelligence is obviously degraded, as long as his family pays more attention to him, usually accompanies him more, and re-teaches him common sense of life, even if he can't be like a normal person, it is still no problem to take care of himself. ”
The woman's eyes lit up with hope again, and she wiped her tears and said, "Thank you lord, the little woman will definitely take care of the child." ”
As a mother, she is strong, and there is almost no hope in life, but as long as the child is alive, the woman will not give up.
"I'll prescribe two more pairs of medicine for him, and you can bring them back first. After taking the medicine, you will be able to know the result by touching it. Bai Ling wrote down the prescription and handed it to the girl to grab the medicine.
The baby is young, and some medicines cannot be taken, or the amount has to be reduced.
As for the general typhoid medicine, this will have no effect on the little baby, and Bai Ling's prescription has naturally been corrected.
The woman thanked again and again, took the child in her arms, and carried away with the food she had brought from each house.
The emaciated back, carrying more than 100 catties of grain, may collapse at any time under the pressure.
If it weren't for the child, it is estimated that the woman would continue to line up to receive food, but between the ration and the child's life, the woman chose the child.
Bai Ling was stunned and came back to his senses, and Begonia whispered a few words in Bai Ling's ear.
"Look at the arrangement." Bai Ling sighed lightly and continued to check the pulse of the next person.
Here there are already several pots of ginger syrup, and several other families have also sent almost all the food, and some people are ready to go home.
and Bai Ling consumed, these officials' families are not unaffordable, but smart people should know how to advance and retreat, otherwise they will suffer the loss.
"Master, the Han Wangfu has also come to give alms." Haitang saw the new convoy coming, and after a pause, he said to Bai Ling.
The Han Palace's Mansion has never been so lively, so as not to be more suspicious of the emperor, but this year it has changed its low-key style.
But anyone who is literate can recognize that it is the team of the Han Palace.
Because the people of the Han Palace's mansion were later, they were placed next to Bai Ling's team.
Looking at Princess Han who was sitting in the carriage and raising the curtain, Bai Ling bowed slightly, and did not get up to salute.
"Quickly put the pot on the rack, and quickly cook all the meat porridge. Start with the auspicious county lord, send a copy to the masters of each family, and then start the soup kitchen. Princess Han didn't plan to get out of the carriage, so she instructed in the carriage: "Boil the rice porridge thickly, don't use a few rice grains to fool in it, it's like drinking pot water." ”
