Qin Sang's calmness made Mu Yu feel that his task didn't seem to be so arduous, "You've been imitating my dress?" ”

Qin Sang, who had been pierced through his heart, clasped his fingers weakly, "Brother Chongning said that he likes you." "Although there is no admit, there is no denial.

Xie Chongning likes himself? It should just be a polite proposal in front of the emperor, "Then do you think, are you worse than me?" Mu Yu asked.

"Of course it's not bad, I'm the emperor's uncle's favorite county lord, I'm worse than you." Qin Sang retorted confidently.

Hearing this, Mu Yu also smiled brightly, fortunately, this kid can still be saved, "Yes, I don't think you are worse than me, but when you start imitating me, you are already admitting defeat to me!" ”

"Do I throw in the towel?" Qin Sang raised his eyebrows questioningly, "How can I admit defeat to you, I will definitely make Brother Chongning like me." ”

"You also hope that your Chongning brother likes you, not you who imitated me, right!" Mu Yu blinked briskly, and the two shallow little pear nests under the corners of his mouth were very cute.

Qin Sang thought for a while, and instantly understood Mu Yu's intentions, and then nodded seriously and firmly, "You're right, I shouldn't imitate you, I want Brother Chongning to like me, not me, who imitated you." ”

Seeing Qin Sang walking back to the carriage with a firm will, Mu Yu also returned to his carriage with ease.

"Why are you smiling so happily?" seemed to be infected by that pair of crooked crescent moons, and Xie Chongning also smiled a little.

Mu Yu looked at the curvature of the corner of the man's mouth in front of him, and only felt handsome and dazzling, Xie Chongning's deep facial features were always only a little chilly, and he didn't expect him to laugh so kindly.

couldn't help but glance at the eye-catching smile twice, Mu Yu retracted his gaze and stepped into the carriage lightly, "The county lord is a good girl." ”

As for why, Xie Chongning quickly understood Mu Yu's praise, because after that conversation, Qin Sang really stopped imitating Mu Yu's dress and began to show his own style.

Qin Sang pretended to go back to herself, and fell in love with Mu Yu, she always held Mu Yu's hand, and whispered like a sister that only belonged to two people.

Mu Yu knew that Qin Sang had been lonely for too long, as the county lord, she had carried too many things since she was a child, and no matter how much she was surrounded by, it was just flattery, and no one was sincere.

"My eldest brother said that there is a teahouse in Huzhou that sells chilled sour plum soup, and it is really hot these days, so we must drink a few more bowls to relieve the heat."

Mu Yu smiled and nodded, but was suddenly hit by someone passing by and stumbled. Before she could react, Xie Chongning came up and kicked the person directly to the ground.

In the shock of everyone, a piece of emerald green flew out of Mu Yu's hand, fell to the ground, and shattered in half. It turned out that this person was a thief, and when he saw Mu Yu and his party dressed richly, he moved his thoughts that he shouldn't have.

"Send it to the Yamen." Xie Chongning said coldly.

Mu Yu stepped forward, and only then did he see that what he had been stolen was the jade plate that his father gave to his son, saying that it was used to keep him safe.

Qin Sang looked at the jade plaque that was broken into two pieces and said regretfully, "Isn't this something important?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that my father gave me to keep it safe, and now it's broken, so it's just a disaster." Mu Yu gently took a handkerchief, wrapped the broken jade plate, and put it on his chest.

The jade plate was broken, and she still had some minds, although it seemed to be safe these days, she always felt that those people had been hiding behind their backs, watching them.

All day long, she was a little absent-minded because of the broken jade plate, and Qin Sang called her several times but didn't get a response, "Sister Mu, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"It's okay, I'm fine." Mu Yu shook his head, his thin lips opened slightly, and he wanted to speak again.

"Sister Mu, do you have anything to say?" Qin Sang frowned, clearly seeing Mu Yu's hesitation.

Mu Yu approached Qin Sang and pointed to the beggar nearby, "Ah Sang, have you found out?" The farther we go south, the more beggars there are in the city. ”

She didn't mean to observe, but in the past few days, on the way, she could still see sporadically beggars walking in the woods in rags, not knowing where they came from or where they were going.

And after arriving in Mingzhou, there are even more beggars squatting on the side of the road begging on the street, and when the thief came to steal his own things just now, the others just turned their heads and glanced at it, and they were accustomed to what to do.

It seems that this kind of thing often happens in Mingzhou City, otherwise passers-by would not be so calm.

"A lot of beggars? There are a lot of beggars, so why don't I give them some reward? Qin Sang said and took out his purse and walked towards one of the beggars.

Mu Yu hurriedly grabbed her to stop her movements, but there were still sharp-eyed beggars who found out that Qin Sang had just taken out his purse, and rushed to them, begging for a reward.

"Miss, childe, you can do it, I haven't eaten in a few days, give me some reward." The beggars scrambled for money.

Where had Qin Sang seen this posture, he was so frightened that he grabbed Qin Xu, hid behind him, and probed slightly.

Mu Yu expected such a situation, she saw a steamed bun shop on the left, took out a few broken silver, and bought all the steamed buns. "Ahsan, for them, they may need food more."

Those beggars were yellow-skinned, unkempt, and their clothes were not much tattered, but most of the shoes on their feet had fallen off and their toes were exposed, which showed that they had all traveled a long distance and wandered to Mingzhou City from other places.

It might be more appropriate to buy them some food than to give them money, and who knows if they will be robbed of it if they ask for it?

When the beggars saw Mu Yu and Qin Sang distributing steamed buns, they instantly surrounded the four of them, and Xie Chongning and Qin Xu, who didn't want to join, could only be forced to open their businesses and help distribute steamed buns together.

"Miss, childe, you are really a living bodhisattva! Thank you. ”

"After being around for so long, I finally got my meat." One of the beggars pinched the bun and was extremely excited.

Mu Yu glanced at the woman, her hands were so thin that only a layer of skin remained, her steps were vain, she was really hungry for a long time, "You said that you have been displaced for so long, could it be that you are not from Mingzhou City?" ”

The beggar looked up gratefully, and took a deep breath of wistfulness, "None of us are from Mingzhou City. ”

"And where did you come from? How did you end up here? Although the clothes in front of him are dirty, there are still some rules for his speech and demeanor, and he should definitely not be just a beggar.

Hearing Mu Yu's words, the woman seemed to open the conversation, "I'm from Nanying, the mountain bandits in Nanying are raging, and ordinary people can't live at all!" In desperation, I had no choice but to follow my husband north, but ......"

As she spoke, the woman seemed to be saying something sad, whimpering and crying, "However, my husband was taken by those mountain bandits as a strong man, and he was arrested, and he never came back. ”

Mu Yu and Xie Chongning glanced at each other, Xie Chongning should know what kind of place this Nanying is, "These people want to arrest strong men?" Do you know why they arrest people? ”

The woman wiped her face with her dusty sleeves and shook her head helplessly, "I don't know, those people are quite unreasonable, they arrest men when they see them, and the rest are us women, the elderly, and even the children." ”

"Why is this happening in Nanying?" Qin Sang was terrified and angry when he heard this, "They are so bold at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven?" The woman stopped crying, sneered and waved her hand, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, who cares?" Besides, the emperor is mediocre, where can he control the life and death of our people? ”

"How do you speak?" Qin Sang was dissatisfied with the woman in front of her who said bad things about the emperor's uncle behind her back, and was about to refute it angrily, but was suddenly pulled by Qin Xu and didn't let her say it again.

Qin Sang had been staying in the ivory tower maintained by the royal family, where had she seen the chaos of this vast world.

"Then did you all escape from Nanying?" Qin Xu took another bun in his hand and handed it to the woman.

A beggar standing next to him saw that he could still get the bun when he replied, so he rubbed it over and replied with anticipation, "No, I'm not from Nanying." ”

"And where are you from?" Mu Yu asked.

"My home is a small mountain village." This man was a man, thin and small, but he looked better than the woman just now.

Mu Yu looked at the man and continued to ask, "Then why did you come out?" ”

The man scratched the back of his head in disbelief, swallowed the last bite of the bun in his mouth, and stretched out his dusty hand towards her.

"......" Mu Yu was speechless, and took out another bun and put it in the man's hand.

The man snatched the bun, stuffed it into his mouth, and said with difficulty, "The people in our small village have contracted the epidemic, but everyone who has been infected with the disease has died, and even Langzhong, who came to see the doctor, has fallen, and I am afraid of death, so I ran out." ”

It was the first time I saw someone else say that they were afraid of death so openly, and the four of them were speechless and didn't know how to answer.

There were a lot of beggars, and they bought all the buns in the bun shop, and the beggars scattered unsatisfied.

Looking at the beggars who were scattered, Qin Sang hammered his already sore arm, and suddenly said to Mu Yu, "I finally know why Sister Mu didn't let me give them a reward." ”

Hundreds of buns were snatched by these beggars in a blink of an eye, and if it was silver, she could be emptied in an instant.

Mu Yu smiled lightly, "You are kind, so you want to give them a reward, but they may need more food at this time, but I didn't expect that so many beggars are from the south." ”

At the mention of this, Qin Sang was also a little scared, "Then do we still want to continue to go south?" I think the south may not be very peaceful. ”

"Go, you have to go." Qin Xu glanced at Qin Sang seriously, "It is precisely because it is not peaceful, so I have to go and see, the children of the Qin family, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
