Chapter 172 I want to help too

Shen Junru was holding a spoon in her hand, and when she heard Shi Xiangyu's voice, she turned her head to look at it, and an imperceptible disgust flashed in her eyes, but the smile was raised too quickly, and no one could catch that disgust except herself.

"Sister Xiangyu, why are you here?"

"I looked at my sister doing good deeds, and I was envious, thinking that if only I could help. Sister Shen, are you still short of helpers here? I can do anything, I just want to do something for these people. ”

Her voice was deliberately louder, as if it was meant to be heard by all.

Of course, some people are moved, and some people feel disgusting.

Shen Shisi's hand holding the spoon trembled slightly, and she glanced at Cai Wei, who was busy distributing steamed buns on the side, and saw the cold from the other party.

This is not like what Miss Shi would say.

"I don't have much to help with here, I still have enough people."

"Sister Shen, I can really do anything, so let me do my best."

Shen Junru, Shen Junru, do you think I don't know about your thoughts? You just want to monopolize this reputation alone, I'm afraid she will rob it!

Hmph, she's really ready to do it today!

No, Shen Junru doesn't deserve this good reputation, it belongs to her, and now she just wants to get it back!

"This"

Shen Junru looked around, and then seemed to think of something, smiled, and said.

"There is such a thing, but you are pampered, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it."

"I can Sister Shen, aren't you also pampered, what you can do, I will definitely be able to, I just feel too sorry for these people, I just want to do something for them, even if it's just, a small effort"

As he spoke, Shi Xiangyu still had red eyes, grabbed Shen Junru's hand, and the big tears of the bean fell down, as if he didn't want money.

Pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic, this is her usual trick!

"Okay, okay, I know you have this intention, then I'll respond, but there are enough people here, and everyone is also up to it, so how about you help light the fire? And these dishes have to be washed and picked, and then chopped."

Shen Junru really handed over some things to Shi Xiangyu.

At first, although Shi Xiangyu felt that there were too many things to do, she thought that this was an opportunity for her to perform, so she quickly nodded and agreed.

"Don't worry, Sister Shen, these are all wrapped up in me."

"Then there's Sister Lao."

Shi Xiangyu rushed to the cauldron and sent a few firewood to the fire.

Behind him, Shen Junru raised the corners of her lips slightly, and then walked back to her original position.

"Sister, she has ulterior motives, what are you doing with her?"

"I can't see that General Xuanda is on the city tower behind us, and there are guards guarding the city nearby, these refugees have no hope of entering the city, they always have to live again, and there will be refugees coming later. The court will not let it go. ”

"I know this, it's just that Miss Shi can't lift it in her hands or pick it on her shoulders, what can she do to help, it's good not to make a mess."

Shen Junru glanced at Shi Xiangyu, who was indeed a little in a hurry, and said.

"You also said that she can't lift her hands or shoulders, so let's see how long she can hold on."

As she spoke, she kept moving her hands, scooping a bowl of hot porridge and two steamed buns, and the refugee wiped her tears while saying words of thanks, and then took the porridge bowl and found a place to sit on the ground.

"Miss, it's been three days, all the food that can be vacated in our house has been vacated, and the people in the second room are already dissatisfied, and if it goes on like this, we won't be able to last long."

After listening to Mama Tong's report, Shen Junru frowned, handed the spoon to Dongmei, and walked with Mama Tong to the place where the grain and rice were stored not far away.

"How long will this food last? Isn't there a countermeasure yet? ”

Originally, she only wanted to hold on, but it has been three days, and the imperial court has not yet opened the granary to help the victims, and she does not know what the current situation in the court is, but if it continues like this, the people's will in the court will definitely be over!

"According to reliable sources, the court is also noisy, the household is crying without money, these refugees are only a small part, then Huainan is the hardest hit area, and a lot of silver is needed."

She glanced up at Xuan Guangyi, who was still standing on the city wall, gritted her teeth slightly, and said.

"I'll go find Li Xiu and find a way to get some food."

"Miss, these are all a drop in the bucket, there are too many people, but with our own efforts, it is really difficult to help"

"Now that I'm in charge, how can I give up halfway? It's not for them, for myself and the Shen Mansion, I have no way out. ”

Shen Junru said meaningfully, but I don't know if Mama Tong fully understood the meaning of her words.

"There are four city gates in the east, west, north and south, how many porridge sheds are there?"

"Most of them are concentrated in the east gate where we are, as well as the west gate where His Royal Highness King Qin is located, and there are relatively few people in the north and south gates."

Shen Junru nodded, sighed, and said.

"You look at it, and that Shi Xiangyu, just let her do some chores, I can't understand the purpose of her coming here to mix and kick for the time being, as Shisi said, she avoided this, but now she came here to help, there must be some purpose."

Mama Tong followed Shen Junru's line of sight and glanced at Shi Xiangyu, who was in a hurry, and even her face couldn't cover her impatience.

Nodding slightly, he said.

"The old slave understands."

"Yingxing, come with me for a trip to the West Gate."

Not far away, Yingxing, who was helping the injured refugee to bandage his wounds, hurriedly ran over and said.

"If the eldest lady has something to do, just send the slave and maid to run, why bother to go in person?"

"I'll have to run this one myself, let's go."

The two got on their horses, and the city gate opened slightly, and only two people were allowed in.

Of course, it is the fastest and easiest to walk from the city, and if you go around from the outside, you can get there, but you have to cross a hillside, which is not convenient.

In fact, it is more convenient to ask some questions to Xuan Guangyi on the city gate, he must know more about the situation in the court than Li Xiu, maybe there are still many things in the court that he stirred.

But she didn't trust Xuan Guangyi, this dangerous person, if she could avoid it, she would rather have no intersection at all.

It's a pity that the situation is not up to people.

The situation of the porridge shed of His Royal Highness King Qin in Ximen is better, after all, the Qin Palace's wealth is rich, and it is much more generous than the Shen Mansion or Shen Junru's rights that can be mobilized.

But Li Xiu also understands that the truth of "wealth is not exposed" is a cause for concern in the province!

"Guard Lee."

"Miss Shen, why are you here? If there's something to call for someone, I'll just go over. Yo, Yingxing girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm getting more and more fresh. ”
