Chapter 531: Reunion after a Long Absence (3)

The worry-free mind was not in vain, and Chu Jingchuan allowed the opening of a porridge shed to help the people.

The steward of the Chu family had no choice but to carry out all the old grain and rice in the house. The guards were responsible for building the porridge shed, and the people of the Chu family also had to go over to help.

Before the big porridge shed was erected, the down-and-out people in the city came over one after another to see what was going on.

Gao Fuli's subordinates found out the news, so they went back to report: "I heard that the Chu family is going to open a porridge shed." ”

Gao Fuli raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and Tu Du was also very concerned.

"Open a porridge shed, this is to help the people." Gao Fuli groaned slightly, and then said, "This must be the idea of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

His subordinates nodded again and again: "That's right, I heard that this is exactly the idea of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Gao Fuli sighed: "The princess is kind and benevolent, how can she ignore the people who are still starving." ”

Tu Du kept listening to this, and only then did he speak: "Is this an opportunity?" ”

Gao Fuli nodded heavily: "Yes, if this is the idea of Her Royal Highness the Princess, she will definitely appear there at that time." His Royal Highness is such a person, kind and serious. ”

With his carefree knowledge, she would definitely show up.

Tu Du smiled slightly, and only said, "This is the best." ”

Gao Fuli turned his head to look at him: "Great Khan, you will see Your Highness soon, but don't forget, you will not only face the princess at that time." ”

Tu Du smiled gloomily and remained silent.

He couldn't wait to see it now, what would it be like when he saw him?

Was it shock, or was it scared? Or are you stunned?

The porridge shed of the Chu family, before the official start of the porridge kitchen, those people in line lined up along Fu'an Street for a long time, winding like a dragon.

The second steward of the Chu family stood on a high place and looked at it for a while, feeling worried.

He didn't expect so many people to come, and the food he prepared might not be enough at all. Worrying about the food and drink of his masters was enough to annoy him. Unbeknownst to him, Her Royal Highness the Princess found him an even more difficult errand.

The guards walked back and forth, and if they found anything suspicious in the crowd, they would drag that person out and take him aside for questioning.

On top of the stove, four large cauldrons were set up, and steaming rice porridge was boiled in them.

Almost all the people of the city came, holding large and small porcelain bowls and clay pots, waiting to eat a bite of hot porridge.

The porridge shed is not far from Chu's house, walking along the main entrance, just at the end of the street.

When her daughter woke up in the morning, she cried for a long time, and she stopped crying after holding her and coaxing her, and gradually fell asleep in her arms. However, the nurse was about to take her into her arms, when the child suddenly woke up again and began to cry.

Seeing this, Wuwu couldn't help but be a little worried: "What's wrong with this kid today?" Why do you cry so much? ”

As she spoke, she touched the child's forehead and face, and there was no sign of fever.

"It doesn't look like he's sick, why don't you let the slave and maid go to the palace to ask Imperial Doctor Jiao to come?" Mingyue whispered, reaching out and gently patting the swaddling clothes in her master's arms.

As soon as the child arrives in carefree arms, he will not cry.

Seeing this, the nurse couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Highness, this child likes to stick to you, you can hold her for a while today." Mother and daughter are connected, and even if the slaves and maids usually serve well, the children still like to stay with their mothers. ”

Worry-free felt warm in his heart when he heard this, bowed his head and kissed the child's little face, hugged her and sat down: "I also want to hold her every day and take care of her personally, but I always can't use the strength on my body." ”

"Your Highness just take your time to recuperate, don't be in a hurry." The nurse said a few auspicious words and then withdrew.

Wuwu hugged his daughter and instructed Mingyue: "You go to the porridge shed outside to take a look, look at it a little, don't let them deal with it." ”

She wanted to go over in person, but her daughter stuck to her, and she didn't want to go out today.

Outside the porridge shed has already begun to put rice. At first, they were quite obedient one by one, but there were few porridge and many people, and many people were behind the queue, for fear that when it was their turn, they would not be able to get anything. Everyone squeezed around, and soon it was messed up.

The second steward of the Chu family was afraid of things, so he hid far away and only let the guards solve the matter.

When Mingyue rushed over, it was the most fierce and chaotic time.

She frowned and looked at the second steward, and said reproachfully: "Second steward, what's going on?" ”

When the second steward saw her coming, he felt even more headache, pointed to the other side and said, "It's all messed up." ”

"That's not what Your Highness commanded you." Mingyue glared at him, looking at the people who were being pushed and cried, and felt very uncomfortable.

He must have done it on purpose, deliberately neglecting his master's orders, just trying to deal with it.

"That's not good, I'll go back and tell Your Highness ......" Mingyue turned around and wanted to leave, but the second steward hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said, "My aunt, don't go back to complain." This porridge shed shouldn't have been opened in the first place, and when you look at those people, they are all red-eyed, like hungry wolves. ”

Seeing that he was still quibbling, Mingyue shook off his hand and said, "What rules do people who are hungry and cold?" Your Highness explained such a thing to you, you can't do it well, I think you are clearly deliberate. ”

When the second steward of the Chu family heard this, cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

"Oh, that's not the case." He stopped Mingyue Haosheng and persuaded him, and said, "I will definitely do it well, please don't go to His Highness to complain." ”

Mingyue saw that he had been dragging herself, so she said, "Your Highness won't come over today." But tomorrow, His Highness will definitely come. ”

The second steward of the Chu family was a little relieved when he heard this.

He was very scared now, for fear that Her Royal Highness would arrange some errands for him to do.

Gao Fu's men blended into the crowd and inquired about everything around them.

On the first day, Carefree didn't show up, so it was a bit surprising that she would come, sooner or later.

Tu Du's patience became less and less, however, he still held back his anger and waited until the next day.

The chaos in the porridge shed made Rong's heart slightly uneasy.

She wanted to dissuade the princess from acting, but she didn't dare to say it too seriously.

"Your Highness, your body is weak, you shouldn't go out now. It's cold outside, just in case ......"

Carefree turned to look at his aunt and shook his hand slightly.

"Uncle, I'm here to do this. So, I should go over and take a look. It's my uncle's people who come and go, and I'll be fine. ”

She has no intention of living a pampered life, and she is even more worried that the descendants of the Chu family will not care about the soup kitchen.

On a sunny day after the snow, the sky is clear, blue and clean.

Carefree sat in the soft coquettishness, lifted the curtain, and looked at the long street in the distance.

The heavily armed guards were patrolling back and forth, their swords raised high in the air, glowing with a cold cold light.

The worry-free soft sedan chair stopped near the porridge shed, and the entourage beside her did not allow her to get out of the car, but just lifted the curtain and said: "Your Highness, the road outside is muddy, please don't get off the sedan chair." ”

The curtain was lifted, and the carefree line of sight was seen more clearly.

She looked at the people who were queuing up to receive the porridge, and her heart sank.

There are so many people......

"Let the second steward come and talk back." Carefree commanded softly.

"Yes!"

Because of yesterday's lesson, the second steward of the Chu family specially prepared some more rice today, and even had an extra pot for boiling porridge.

There are also a lot more people in charge of guarding to make sure everything is safe.

Seeing that His Highness was here in person, the second steward hurriedly ran over.

"Your Highness, what do you command?"

Worry-free said quietly: "How many people are here today?" ”

The second steward thought for a moment and said, "There were thousands of people who came yesterday, and I'm afraid there will be more ...... today."

"Is there enough food to prepare?"

The second steward looked embarrassed: "Yesterday's 200 catties of grain were all divided, and today's 300 catties are estimated to be insufficient." However, Your Highness, we can only do this, and when these grains are distributed, the porridge shed will have to stop. ”

Worry-free frowned and said, "The porridge shed has stopped, what should they do?" ”

The second steward almost didn't cry when he heard this: "It's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the slave has done his best." ”

Seeing him crying with a sad face, Worry-free said, "I'll watch it." In short, you should be more attentive and not perfunctory. ”

"Yes......" The second steward hurriedly retreated, and went back to instruct the servants to add water to the pot and make the porridge thinner, so that it could be distributed to more people.

Wuwu sat in a sedan chair, warming the stove in his hand and wearing a warm cotton jacket, but on the street ten meters away, the people walking around were all ragged and tattered.

She still remembers that when she first left the palace, the prosperity and liveliness of the capital dazzled her and made her forget to return. And now, the beauty of the year is completely gone, and only the deserted depression remains.

Perhaps, good things can only exist in the mind forever.

Thinking about it, Wu Wu couldn't help but step out of the sedan chair, Mingyue hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, you take your steps carefully." ”

"Mingyue, look, is this still like the capital?"

Mingyue saw her melancholy tone, so she soothed: "Everything will be fine." ”

Worry-free hearing the words and lowering their eyes may get better, maybe it will get worse.

Gao Fu mingled in the crowd, looking up from time to time, and soon, he noticed that there seemed to be some movement in the direction of the intersection.

Gao Fuli turned around and gave Tu Du a look, however, Tu Du had found out earlier than he had noticed, and he had already begun to prepare to move over there.

Seeing this, Gao Fuli hurriedly said: "I got the porridge first." ”

Suddenly, he and Tu Du held the broken porcelain bowl that had been notched, and then moved in the direction of the intersection.

Because of the large number of people on the street, they mixed in, and it was still a little conspicuous.

Tu Du had to deliberately hunch his back, bend his waist, and walk slowly step by step. He had a pair of falcon-like eyes, and everywhere he looked, everyone and everything could be under his eyes.

Soon, his gaze quickly locked on a familiar figure.

She was far away from him, but he still saw her at a glance.

In the bright sunlight, her side face was as clear as jade, slightly shiny, and she stood there brightly, in stark contrast to the gloomy color around her.

It's her...... Day and night, he misses and resents the woman. She's still so beautiful and unforgettable...... No, it should be unforgettable.

Wuwu held Mingyue's hand and walked slowly, her eyebrows frowned slightly, her expression was sorrowful, and she seemed to be hiding something.

Tu Du looked at her fixedly, and Gao Fuli followed his gaze and also found the figure of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Tu Du looked at the person in the distance, and an impulse kept pouring out of his heart.

He really wanted to rush to her right away, either to deal with her with his own hands, or to face her face to face and make everything clear.

Tu Du stared at him without worry, slightly distracted, and the porridge bowl in his hand was quickly snatched away.

Tu Du has always been vigilant by nature, but at this time he was attacked by a beggar.

The beggar squatted on the side of the road with half a bowl of porridge and drank it, and he didn't forget to look up at Tu Du, his eyes were guarded, as if he would snatch him back again.

"Great Khan, you've seen the princess, we should go today."

After a while, the people who drink the porridge disperse, and they will look more conspicuous.

Tu Du's gaze was still locked on Wu Wu's body, and she seemed to be aware of it, and slowly turned her head and glanced this way.

The two didn't meet their gaze, they were too far away, and Sanssouci only noticed a hunchbacked figure standing in the distance, looking dirty.

She would not have thought that that person was her husband, Tu Du.

"Great Khan, it's time for us to go."

As soon as Gao Fuli's words fell, I saw a team of people hurriedly coming from the direction of the West City Gate. They dispersed the people lining up on the streets, banging gongs and shouting around: "Martial law in the whole city, martial law in the whole city!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then dispersed and fled.

Gao Welfare and Tu were almost dispersed by the crowd, and by the time they stood still, there were more than half of the people on the street.

The second steward of the Chu family saw that the people in front of the porridge shed had run away, and he was a little anxious for a while.

He walked up to the Chu family army, raised his head and asked, "Why did you scare everyone away?" This is the order of the great general, to open a porridge shed to relieve the people......"

"There is an urgent report outside the city, the Dog Emperor's army is coming!"

The second steward turned pale with fright when he heard this, and retreated again and again: "Hurry up and pack your things!" Pack up and go! ”

Standing a few meters away, listening to it really, her body shook slightly, as if she had been hit hard.

Mingyue hurriedly clenched her hand and said, "Your Highness, it seems that something is really going to happen, let's go back." ”

Gao Fuli and Tu Du naturally heard the news, and the two turned their heads at the same time and glanced at each other, their eyes full of vigilance.

The emperor is back, with his 30,000 troops, and Chu Jingchuan will definitely meet it with all his might. The war is about to break out, and everyone should tense their nerves.

Gao Fuli and his subordinates covered Tu Du's departure, and when they returned to their own place, Gao Fu bluntly said to Tu Du: "Great Khan, it's time for you to leave. Once the war breaks out in the city, you'll be in an awkward position. ”

He didn't want to let him go, but if he stayed, he would only get into more trouble.
