After breakfast that day, Wei Yining teased Chunjiao's children while enjoying the shade of the trees.

This child is five months old, white and chubby, especially smiling, and wears a long-life lock given by Wei Yining around his neck.

Liu's mother, who went out to buy vegetables, came back, and when she saw Wei Yining and the others, she hurriedly said: "This is really the opposite, the hungry people outside the city are actually bandits now." When I went out to buy groceries, people all over the street were saying that Shen Yinghou's carriage was robbed by hungry people when they entered the city last night. ”

"Aren't they afraid of being beheaded?" Chunjiao hugged the child tightly with some fear when she heard this.

"Cough, starvation is death anyway," Liu's mother waved her hand and said, "I heard that the horseman who drove the car and the housekeeper who sat in the car were beaten, and the Shen family reported to the official last night." ”

"Hunger and cold have been thieves since ancient times," Wei Yining sighed after hearing this: "If you don't come up with a proper way as soon as possible, I'm afraid that it will become more and more intense in the future." ”

"There are also many almsgiving porridge huts outside the city, and they are not starving to death, but many people are beginning to be restless, probably some of them are restless." Liu's mother said while choosing vegetables: "I'm afraid that there will be more and more of these people, and it will be bad if they start a rebellion in the end." ”

It was only two days after this that I heard that several middle-class families in the city had been looted at night, and not only had they robbed their belongings, but also killed them.

Jingzhao Mansion was responsible for investigating the matter thoroughly, and the robbed families all said that those people were all masked, but the accent was definitely not from the capital.

And when they robbed things, they took everything they could, whether they were high or low, even including food, which was very different from ordinary thieves, so Jingzhaofu suspected that these people were those hungry people who poured into the capital, and they must have taken advantage of the city gate when there were many people entering and leaving the city to wait for an opportunity to rob.

Because of such an incident, people in the capital panicked.

Many middle-class families began to hire homekeepers, and people tried not to go out of the city as much as possible, especially in the morning and evening.

Wei Aluan was not worried about Mrs. Zhu and Wei Yining, so he specially transferred more than a dozen capable family members from the Shao family to guard this mansion.

The government sent additional men to search the city and outside the city, and began to expel the hungry people who came to Beijing from other places.

Winter melon went to the street when he had nothing to do, and when he heard about these things, he came back and said to the gourd: "These people are too bold, and the feet of the Son of Heaven dare to be so rampant." If you really get caught, you don't have to think about it, and you will be beheaded for public display. ”

"In my opinion, Jing Zhaoyin is also a waste now." Hulu rolled his eyes and said: "It's just that you can't find the murderer, and you actually ordered people to expel these refugees, isn't this the official forcing the people to rebel, and I don't know what kind of chaos will be caused when the time comes." ”

"Well, according to you, we'll have to be careful, and it would be bad if the outlaws broke in." Winter melon was a little scared and said, "If Grandpa is still at home at night, there is nothing to be afraid of when one hundred and eighty people come." But he is not at home every night for a while, just a few of us are waiting for someone to tie him up and beat him. ”

"Snort......" Hulu listened to the words of the winter melon, and couldn't help but sneer and said: "You are really self-inflicted, we are such a broken duke's mansion, and the poor are almost out of food overnight." Can you still recruit thieves? Could it be that those thieves tried their best to come in and steal your few vegetables? ”

"That's right, it's not that my few vegetables aren't worth grabbing, it's that the walls of our house are too high, and thieves struggle to crawl." Winter melon scratched the back of his head and said with a smirk.

"Okay, hurry up and grab firewood, I'm going to cook. Yue's second sister-in-law hasn't come back yet, thinking that the embroidery work hasn't been sold yet. The gourd stood up, hammered his aching waist, and said, "Go to the yard and pick some vegetables and come back." ”

Yue's second sister-in-law took her third son to sell embroidery work at the intersection of Changping Street, the needlework of the gourd is naturally good, and the asking price is not expensive, and it can be sold out quickly.

But recently, because it is not very peaceful, there are a lot fewer people who come out to shop, and the second sister-in-law Yue saw that the time was almost noon, and there were still two handkerchiefs that had not been sold, so she wanted to wait a little longer.

The third son was hungry, hugging the thigh of the second sister-in-law of Yue and humming vigorously.

"Oh, you're a beggie to play!" Yue's second sister-in-law said impatiently.

But the third son refused to let go like a leper dog, and the second sister-in-law sighed, took out a copper plate and handed it to him with a tiger face: "Go over there to buy a cake to eat, it's like a starving ghost reincarnated." ”

The third son took the copper plate and jumped to the cake stall opposite to buy food, and the second sister-in-law raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her face, the weather was so hot that people couldn't breathe.

A person came from that side, stopped in front of her, at that time Yue's second sister-in-law was lowering her head to spread out the two pairs of handkerchiefs, feeling that someone had arrived, and thought that she was buying a handkerchief, just raised her head to speak, and suddenly recognized this person as her fellow villager.

"Second sister-in-law, it's really you!" The man smiled happily when he saw Yue's second sister-in-law: "I just looked at it from a distance over there, and I felt familiar, but I didn't dare to recognize it." ”

"Isn't this Big Brother Gu?" Yue's second sister-in-law was also very happy to see this person, and it was naturally very kind to see her fellow villagers in this place.

This young man surnamed Gu is diligent and kind on weekdays, and he is very popular in the village.

"Yes, second sister-in-law, I'm going to be a housekeeper for someone now." The person surnamed Gu said that he knew that he was no longer a refugee at this time by looking at the clothes on his body.

"Well, it's good to have something to eat." Yue's second sister-in-law said with relief and emotion: "If you can survive these years, it can be regarded as a virtue." ”

"Second sister-in-law, I don't know where you work?" The surnamed Gu asked: "Our villagers will take care of each other in the future." ”

"I'm working on the Chaoyong Mansion now!" Yue's second sister-in-law said: "Grandpa took in our mother and son with a good heart, and I will do some rough work in the house." No, I came out today to sell some embroidery work, and when I finished selling, I could buy some rice and go back. ”

"The second sister-in-law is really blessed to find such a good family." The young man surnamed Gu was sincerely envious: "I am now in Zhang Yuanwai's house to take care of the family and nursing home, and I don't know when I will be dismissed." ”

"You finally have a place to eat now, and you can find a suitable owner in the future." Yue's second sister-in-law persuaded him: "After staying in the capital for a long time, you will slowly touch the door, you are clever and capable, don't worry about not being able to find a way to live." ”

"Second sister-in-law, it's rare for me to meet a fellow villager here. I have some things here, and it's inconvenient to carry them with me, so I want to put them there for me to keep. The young man surnamed Gu said, "I am in a room with many people in Nafu, and there are many people with mixed hands, and I may lose it at any time." ”

"I don't dare to keep it for you if it's too valuable, and I can't afford to pay for it if I lose it." Yue's second sister-in-law hurriedly said.

"It's a little bit of family money left by my father and mother for me to marry my daughter-in-law." The young man surnamed Gu said a little embarrassedly: "Second sister-in-law, I can trust you as a person, if it is someone else, I am not at ease, you should all help your brothers." ”
