Chapter 270
The Cuiwei courtyard is becoming more and more lively, and the people below are moving around complicatedly, and it is not good to say that it is because it is going to be the New Year, or because of Su Wan.
But none of this can disturb Su Wan, she stays in the house all day, she doesn't speak, who can break into her house.
Seeing that the time of the palace banquet was getting closer and closer, Su Wan was getting lazier and lazier, until Lu Xiaoqi brought a message.
"Miss, lo and behold"
Lu Xiaoqi sent a note to Su Wan.
As soon as he saw the note, Su Wan guessed where the note came from.
"Tomorrow outside the city soup kitchen," Su Wan said softly.
Needless to say, this is the news that Situ Yu sent to him.
Giving porridge outside the city is not to let Su Wan go to soup porridge.
Every winter, there are a large number of displaced people from other places outside the gate of the capital, or the poor households near the capital.
In the face of this situation, the imperial court naturally had measures to deal with it, and in addition, there were also wealthy and high-ranking officials who opened facilities to make porridge, on the one hand, to do some good deeds, and on the other hand, to gain some fame.
Although the Su family has only been in the capital for a short time, they have also contributed their strength and have their own soup kitchen.
Situ Yu's meaning is obvious, that is, let Su Wan go to the Su family's soup kitchen.
"Nothing else?" Su Wan asked.
"Yes, Mu Qing said, the Seventh Prince has a gift for you," Lu Xiaoqi said.
Su Wan's eyes lit up and asked curiously.
"Gifts?"
"What is it, Mu Qing didn't say," Lu Xiaoqi said.
Pouting, Su Wan thought to herself, it shouldn't be fake to have a gift, but it is definitely not the kind of gift that ordinary men and women give each other.
"And what do I say about this security issue?" Su Wan asked again.
Most of the soup kitchens are outside the city gate, and a large number of displaced people gather outside the city gate at this time, and the personnel are complicated.
In case there is a sudden attack by the rebel party, who can guarantee her safety.
Su Wan's hidden meaning, Lu Xiaoqi is clear.
"If you want the slave to say, the young lady directly refused, the Seventh Prince is a big man, and he always uses you as bait, and he is too small," Lu Xiaoqi said unhappily.
This is a bit angry.
For the imperial court, as long as there is a way to clear the rebel party and it will not affect too many innocent people, what is it to sacrifice a Su Wan.
Lu Xiaoqi is also from Su Wan's point of view, so he will be so angry.
"Since he and I are cooperating, we must always give each other"
Su Wan can see that for the sake of a stable life in the future, it is nothing to pay at this time.
"Let's go and talk to my grandfather, tomorrow I will go to the outside of the city with the steward to give porridge," Su Wan said again, and then stuffed the note into the copper frame, dropped it on the charcoal fire, and burned directly to ashes.
Su Wan made a decision, Lu Xiaoqi would not talk nonsense anymore, and after letting people go to the Blameless Courtyard to spread the word, he returned to her small room and began to arm himself to ensure that Su Wan would be safe tomorrow.
When the news reached the Blameless Hospital, Su Mufeng subconsciously frowned.
"I'm going to give porridge outside the city tomorrow, what are the plans of the five girls," Su Mufeng said to himself.
Su Wan and Situ Yu exchanged news, Su Mufeng didn't know at all, and he didn't know that there were secret guards guarding the dark place of Cuiwei Courtyard.
Therefore, when Lu Xiaoqi received the note, Su Mufeng didn't even notice it.
"Do you want to arrange more guards for Miss Five?" Steward Wu asked on the side.
Although Su Mufeng did not respond to Su Wan's request, Steward Wu knew that Su Mufeng would not refuse.
"Well, arrange more," Su Mufeng nodded and said.
No matter what Su Wan went to the city for, he didn't know what was waiting for Su Wan outside the city, but it would not be wrong to arrange more guards.
Early in the morning of the second day, Su Wan took Lu Xiaoqi and Green Yi out together, leaving Mama Lin in Cuiwei Courtyard.
"I didn't expect to go with Steward Wu today," Su Wan said with a smile.
"The master said, the old slave's body is bones, and if he doesn't move much, he shouldn't be able to move," Steward Wu said with a smile.
Steward Wu led Su Wan in front, until he reached the gate, personally moved a small ladder for Su Wan, and sent Su Wan to the carriage.
"I'm Bothering You Today"
After getting into the carriage, the green clothes lifted the curtain high, and Su Wan said to Steward Wu.
"Fifth Miss is polite," Steward Wu said modestly.
When the curtain was lowered, Su Wan could still see a lot of guards standing around the carriage.
These palace guards, at first glance, are arranged by Su Mufeng, and Wu is in charge.
It's just that in Su Wan's heart, the trust in these people is average.
When I was on the way to the capital, wasn't Su Mufeng there, Steward Wu wasn't there, and Fuwei wasn't there.
But her safety was still in the hands of Situ Yu.
What's the difference between today and that day, when something really happens, she is probably more willing to ask Situ Yu for help, after all, Situ Yu is the one who can call the shots.
It's not that she is too realistic, it's that Su Mufeng is too cowardly in front of the imperial power.
The carriage gradually arrived at the city gate, the name of the Su family was quite good, and the guards at the city gate just asked the coachman when the Su Wan carriage passed by.
When they arrived at the soup kitchen, Su Wan got out of the car with the maid.
As soon as he got out of the car, Su Wan saw many ragged victims around him, each holding a bowl for eating in his hand, and many people's bowls were still notched, which seemed to be large bowls, but in fact, they could only hold half a bowl or even less at a time.
In fact, for these victims, hunger is nothing, after all, there are a lot of soup kitchens, and the key is how to keep out the cold.
Almost every night, people die of the disaster.
When Su Wan was observing these victims, the descendants of the Su family had already boiled up the porridge, and the fragrant taste of rice drew Su Wan's attention back.
"Where did this rice come from?" Su Wan asked.
"Miss Hui's words, it's all rice that can't be eaten in our house"
The little guy who was questioned said.
Su Wan nodded, the Su family has a big business, and there will be a lot of rice grain left in the house every year, and new rice will be imported in the next year.
When it was almost noon, soup kitchens began to give porridge one after another, and the victims began to line up to receive it.
After the hot rice porridge was served, smiles gradually appeared on the faces of the victims.
When Su Wan saw this scene, her heart was warm, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Bang Bang..."
There was a sound of gongs, and Su Wan looked over curiously.
"What is this?" Su Wan asked.
Su Wan had a question, and someone answered it immediately.
"Miss Hui, this is recruiting people to work, clearing snow, clearing roads, repairing houses, but there are many things to do," replied the little girl.
They gave soup to fill the stomachs of these victims, and when they had the strength, they were able to do what they could.
"Give silver?" Su Wan asked.
"Of course there is no silver, but there is copper, although it is not much, but it is better than nothing," said the servant.
Su Wan nodded, this is reasonable.
But looking at it, Su Wan suddenly frowned, and the little guy on the side was a little nervous, don't be his answer, which made the master unhappy.
