Chapter 147: Wonderful Mother and Son
After Huangfu Xue saw that they heard this, not only did she not feel a trace of guilt, but she was still laughing here, and her face changed instantly, "What, do you think I'm joking with you, or do you think you have a lot of face after this matter is said?" ”
Seeing that Huangfu Xue was angry, everyone immediately discovered the seriousness of the matter and shook their heads. The shopkeeper glared at the work, and took two steps forward, "Second Miss, speaking of which, the old man is also responsible for this matter, the restaurant business has been very busy during this time, and there is no time to talk to them about this, which caused a momentary negligence, but the second miss rest assured, the old man will tell them about this matter." ”
Although Huang Fuxue can also talk to them clearly, but now there is still a matter of soup soup to be busy, and this matter is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, after thinking about it, he agreed, "Since the shopkeeper is willing to come forward, it is very good." Recently, I've been busy with soup kitchens, and the shopkeeper here in the restaurant will take care of me. ”
"The eldest lady is polite, these are all things that the old man should do." The shopkeeper saw that the second miss did not pursue it further, and appreciated the second miss more and more. This matter is said to be a big stride, but it is not a small one. If the second lady wants to talk about this matter, the people present are afraid that no one will be able to escape from it. But the second lady has obviously started, but she is willing to give him this face and hand over the matter to him to deal with, on the one hand, it is to trust her, and on the other hand, she also wants to give everyone a chance.
The second miss is so kind-hearted, for everyone's consideration, he must not live up to the expectations of the second miss, and he must convey the meaning of the second miss well.
Huangfu Xue didn't stay in the restaurant for long, and followed him to the city gate when Caiyu was done. In the past few days, they have been busy with the affairs of the restaurant, and the Li family is not worrying, so Huangfu Xue has not gone here for a few days.
It's just that I didn't expect that in a few days, there would be so many victims at the gate of the city, these victims were skinny, ragged, some even lay on the ground, staggering, and a few families were hungry and wept together. In short, there is more than a tragic word that can be explained.
Huangfu Xue couldn't bear to look at it, so she took Caiyu and they found a clean place to start building a porridge shed, and saw that a few open spaces next to it also began to build porridge sheds, thinking that other wealthy merchants in Dongcheng should also give porridge. Seeing this, the hanging heart let go of a little. There are so many victims at the gate of the city, only the Huangfu family, I am afraid that it is only a drop in the dime, if more people are willing to contribute, these victims will not at least not starve to death.
"Miss, I heard from the people on the street that this drought is very serious, it seems that there has not been rain for more than a year, and the local officials have been pressing and not reporting it, which will be really unbearable, so I stabbed this matter out in a hurry, it is said that the emperor was very angry after getting the news, and cut off the official's post on the spot. It's just that in today's situation, how can the life of an official be exchanged for the lives of so many ordinary people......"
Huang Fuxue didn't expect things to be like this, and for a while she sympathized with these victims and was angry with the official. Thinking about the floods in Jiangnan, looking at these people, I instantly felt that the corrupt officials in Jiangnan who were so ruthless at the beginning were not so hateful.
"yes. Now we can't do anything, we just hope that the imperial court can come up with a way to give them a place to eat and dress as soon as possible. "Seeing that winter is coming, these victims have worked hard to come to the capital, and they should have spent all their coils along the way. The capital is far away from the north, and if they want to go back, they are afraid that it will not be so easy for a while.
However, the winter in the capital is very cold, and if these victims have no place to live, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive this winter......
"Miss, don't worry, there are so many victims, the court will definitely not ignore them." Caiyu saw her face full of sadness, and hurriedly comforted her. Huangfu Xue turned her head and shook her head with a smile, "Miss Ben is fine, okay, let's start when they're done." ”
"The porridge has already been shipped here at home, and I believe it won't take long to arrive. In addition, the place where Dr. Chang will visit has also been prepared. It's almost there, too. "Caiyu likes her life very much, although she is busy every day, but she lives a very fulfilling life.
The two stood on the side for a while, and then saw An Mingchen and Chang Baiyu driving the carriage to them, "Lady, are you ready?" ”
; "It's already done." Huangfu Xue stepped forward to help them pack their things. An Mingchen was worried that he would be tired, so he refused to let her help, "Lady, you can watch from the sidelines, and I can move with Doctor Chang." ”
The location of the free clinic was quickly set up, and Dr. Chang glanced at the little guy, who quickly ran to the victims and shouted, "Dr. Chang came to the free clinic today, and anyone who is not feeling well can come and line up." ”
"Free clinics? Is there anyone really willing to help us see a doctor for free? A woman hugged a skinny child and was surprised and delighted, "Dog, you are saved, God opens your eyes, you are really saved." After crying, the woman rushed to Chang Baiyu with the child in her arms, "Doctor, you are a doctor, right, you hurry up and help me take a look at my child, he has a fever for a long time, but I have no money, except for waiting for him to suffer, I have no way at all." ”
Dr. Chang glanced at the child in the woman's arms and hurriedly asked her to sit down, "How long has this child been sick?" Chang Baiyu's face was a little not very good, Huangfu Xue turned his head and glanced at An Mingchen, his face was full of unbearable, he just felt bitter when he looked at these victims just now, and now when he saw this, his heart became more and more uncomfortable. Such a young child should suffer such a sin before he knows anything.
"It's been three or four days," the woman cried out in shame when she saw that Chang Baiyu's face was not very good, thinking that he was blaming him, "I don't want to do this either, she is my own child, and I can't bear to let her suffer like this if there is a little way." But I really can't help it......"
"Enough, he has had a fever for too long, even if he is cured now, I am afraid that he will not be able to become a normal person in the future, you better be prepared." Chang Baiyu put away his emotions and quickly prescribed medicine. He handed the prescription to the little guy and paused, "Find someone to help him decoct the medicine." ”
There are a lot of things today, and there are not enough people, but Chang Baiyu is still worried that the woman can't even do this thing, even if she can't be busy, she still tells the little girl to help. The little girl is also a little dissatisfied with the woman, such a young child, she doesn't believe that as long as the woman wants to save people, even if she goes to the pharmacy to beg, she can ask for a life. But he watched as the child was missing for so many days. Even now, he is still making excuses for his selfishness. Is......
"Mother, have you taken care of my brother's illness, I'm hungry. Hurry up and ask them when they're going to send something to eat. A boy about ten years old ran over with an unhappy face, and the woman looked at them a little embarrassed, for fear that they would say something, so she hurriedly pulled the little boy to the side. At this time, Chang Baiyu's face became more and more unsightly.
The old woman who was waiting behind saw Chang Baiyu's thoughts, and explained the gossip, "This is our village, this is the character for so many years, the boss is a treasure, the second child hums, and even a grass is not as good." Speaking of this child, it is also pitiful, and it is good to be able to leave a small life this time. ”
Huang Fuxue listened to the man's discussion, his face was not very good, and he looked up at the woman, only to see that the woman had found a random place to put the sick child down, and then patiently coaxed the eldest son. is so eccentric, so ignorant of the severity, looking at Huangfu Xue is very annoyed.
"What are you going to do, after all, this matter is someone else's family history, let's not interfere......" An Mingchen was also uncomfortable, but there were a lot of victims at the city gate today, he was worried that something would happen, so he stretched out his hand to stop her.
"You let me go, if we don't save that little boy, he may really die. Xianggong, if I hadn't seen it, it would have been fine, but today I saw it, and I really can't sit idly by. Huangfu Xue really felt sorry for that child, An Mingchen couldn't resist him, and after thinking about it, he pulled her over with him. When the two approached, the woman spotted them, smiled awkwardly, and hurried forward to pick up the little boy.
"This child has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and I am actually used to it. The young master and the young lady are kind-hearted people at first glance, thank you so much today, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid his little life would really be gone......" The woman was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't know what she was talking about.
When the little boy saw that his mother was talking about it, he didn't talk about serious things, so he quickly stepped forward and ordered, "We are all dying of hunger, you know that standing here and talking about those useless nonsense, why don't you go back to distribute food quickly." It was as if he were his master and they were his servants.
Huangfu Xue was directly laughed at by him, "This is ...... Your eldest son. Judging by his speech and demeanor, I think that your family background before coming to your house was very good......"
The people around laughed directly when they heard it, "What kind of family is good, they are all angry legs in the field, and I don't know if there is something wrong with his family's brain, obviously he has two sons, and he just pretends to have only one child." Oh, by the way, they don't have just these two children, they sold a girl before the famine. It is said that it was this ancestor who wanted to eat meat, so he sold the little girl. If this kid in his arms wasn't a kid, if it weren't for his mother-in-law desperately protecting him, he might have sold it a long time ago. ”
"Really? This...... What kind of person is this, they are all mothers, why are they so favoritism. But you don't say I can't see it, you say this, it's really strange, we have been in a famine for more than a year, her son is still white and fat, look at that appearance, it seems to have endured hardship, and then look at their mother and son, thin skin and bones. Tsk, in such a comparison, this son is simply a vampire. It's infuriating. ”
"Isn't it, it's really the young master's body, the life of the slave ......"
"Who do you say are the slaves, you are the slaves, and your family is all slaves." The boy yelled and yelled. Huangfu Xue frowned slightly, and didn't pay attention to these and spoke directly, "Your youngest son is afraid that it will be more than auspicious to follow you, if you believe that Doctor Chang might as well let her take her back and raise him for two days, and then send it to you when he is better." ”
