I don't know what Zaifeng said to Fu Jin, and the next day Fu Jin became the same arrogant and polite appearance as before.

The difference is that Fujin's face is more shy, and the women who have been married for three years have all given birth to sons, but they are like a bride. The whole house breathed a sigh of relief, and the means before Fujin went up the mountain really left a lot of shadows on the people.

Fujin was restored to its original state, Liu Jia's family raised the little brother Li Buddha with peace of mind, and the palace returned to its previous warm and tranquil state, and even Liu Gege, who had a miscarriage, was surprisingly peaceful.

Ning Yi was surprised, she didn't expect that her fourth brother, who was silent and quiet, was also a good hand at coaxing women, could it be that this is a unique talent for men?

A bright face appeared in front of Ning Yi's eyes, and he thought that maybe some people didn't even need to coax.

In spring and summer, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were overcast with continuous rain, and embankments in various parts of Hunan burst and floods flowed, killing 40,000 people and affecting more than 400,000 people. It was another blow to the already battered Qing Dynasty.

Lin Xunxiang's grandfather was a refugee from Linjia Village, perhaps because he was also surnamed Lin, so he settled here, and later married a wife and had children here. Linjia Village is near the Xiangjiang River, relying on the water to draft, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the Xiangjiang River to eat, this year's spring and summer long rainy season finally made the embankments in various places unbearable, bursting, the flood washed away their homes, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, corpses were everywhere, Lin Xunxiang saw so many corpses for the first time in the Xiangjiang River where she grew up, some strange, some familiar.

Ning Yi took Qiu Lu to the pear orchard, and Qiu Lu held the thank you gift she had ordered to buy.

After all, people saved herself, how can she say that she is also a character, how can she not be criticized if she doesn't even understand these etiquettes, and she will lose the face of Aixinjueluo's family? Ning Yi felt that what she had done was very reasonable.

At the intersection of a street in front of the pear orchard, there sat an old man and a young man, the old man looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, and the small one couldn't see the men and women clearly, and he was only seven or eight years old.

The old one led the little one, and the little one supported the old one, and although the clothes were torn, they were very clean.

They sat against the wall to rest, and the little one looked up at the old man, "Grandpa, I can't find the uncle, where are we going next?" ”

The old man touched the child's head, but did not speak.

Suddenly, a copper coin was thrown in front of their eyes.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and realized that he was treating them as beggars.

He hurriedly picked up the money and was about to stand up, but when he saw the skinny granddaughter on the side, he suddenly couldn't open his mouth, and the reality finally erased his former loftiness and pride, and his back, which was not straight, became more and more curved.

He bowed in the direction the man had left, and his withered hands shoved the two copper plates into the child's hands: "Go and sell two buns to pad your stomach." ”

On the other side, Qiu Lu frowned when she saw this pair of grandsons, "Why did Hanako come to the city?" "It's not that she dislikes and looks down on beggars, but this inner city is no better than the outer city, and it is good to be kicked out once the guards patrolling the city see it, and if she is unlucky, it is common to eat in prison.

The inner and outer city of the capital is distinguished from Jiaqing, in order to accommodate more people in the capital, the outer city was built, but due to lack of funds, only a part of the south was built, and generally the Han people and officials lived in the outer city, but because the outer city was prosperous and lively, the banner people continued to move here in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

The inner city was rebuilt from the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and only the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners and their families and subordinates were allowed to live. The Eight Banners live in different areas, Gongwei Imperial City, North Desheng Gate Juzheng Yellow Flag, Anding Gate Inlaid Yellow Flag, Xixi City Gate Inlaid Red Flag, Imperial City Gate Inlaid Red Flag, Dongdong Zhimen Inlaid White Flag, Chaoyang Gate Inlaid White Flag, South Chongwen Gate Inlaid Blue Flag, Yiwu Gate, Zhengyang Gate Inlaid Blue Flag.

From the Shunzhi Dynasty onwards, some Han ministers were also allowed to live here, and the boundaries between the flags were broken. Although the inner city is not as good as before, the population of the inner city is still strictly controlled, and the security of the inner city is much stricter than that of the outer city, not to mention these beggars, the rulers are like that, in their eyes, they do not want to see anything contrary to the prosperity of the world in their hearts, even if they know it, they are not willing to admit it.

Covering your ears and stealing the bell is nothing more than that.

Ning Yi saw the old man's action of wanting to return it, and saw that they didn't look like those beggars, so he recognized his mistake.

But seeing them like this, it is indeed to the point of exhaustion, and if they go down, it is only a matter of time before they will really become beggars.

"Sir, excuse me, I wonder if you two have a place to stay?"

Maybe it's because Ning Yi and Qiu Lu are not very old, and Ning Yi looks kind and gentle, so the old man just rubbed the children around him tightly, but there was not much vigilance and vigilance in his eyes, "What's the matter with this young lady?" ”

Ning Yi smiled: "That's the case, I know that a place is recruiting, I see that your ancestors and grandchildren seem to have just come to the capital and haven't settled down yet, so if you want to ask, if you have nowhere to go, you can ask." ”

Hearing this, the old man loosened his hand and held the child's hand slightly, his throat was stalked, and he said, "We are not slaves." He knew that he didn't know what he was saying, but once he was a slave, he would be inferior for a lifetime, and he was fine when he was old, but his granddaughter was so young, he couldn't harm her. His uneasiness also seemed to affect the child in his arms, a pair of fawn-like eyes purring and turning, unusually smart.

Ning Yi smiled at the child soothingly: "Not long ago, the imperial court ordered that this slave has been canceled, you can rest assured, if you are not satisfied with this work, you can leave." ”

Not a slave ...

The old man glanced at the child in his arms, and directly pulled the person to kneel in front of Ning Yi, "Thank you, Miss." ”

Qiu Lu stepped forward and helped the person up.

The two men followed to the pear orchard.

"Shopkeeper Wang, are you Boss Qin here?"

As soon as the shopkeeper Wang saw someone, he greeted him warmly, accompanied by a smiling face: "Miss Ning, you are here." Our grandfather is putting on makeup on the back. ”

Ning Yi nodded: "Then I'll go upstairs first." ”

"Okay." The shopkeeper instructed Xiao Er to bring someone up, "Refreshments will be sent to you later." ”

"Miss Ning, do you mean this pear orchard when you say going?"

Ning Yi looked at him.

The old man is a smart man, but he also hesitates, the play is a ninth-rate, although he is not a play, but once the relationship is involved, he will also fall into the lewd. It's just that he can't say this, people have no relatives and no reason to find a place for them to stay, and he can't help but know what to do.

"Thank you, Miss Ning, for giving our grandchildren a way to live."

Ning Yi also saw his previous hesitation, but now that he agreed, it means that those things that make him worry are not worth mentioning compared to not having enough to eat and sleep.
