Seeing that Zhaoyang's face was not very good-looking, he couldn't help but say with some worry: "What's wrong?" His face was suddenly so ugly, what did he tell you? ”

Zhaoyang shook his head and said with a smile: "Ah Ruan, don't look at me as a high-ranking princess in the Southern Wei Dynasty, I want the wind to be windy and rainy, but in fact, my mother is an extremely unfavored woman, and she is still locked up in the cold palace, if it weren't for this face, maybe what would have become." So you see, as long as there is a need, I will be abandoned at any time and come to Liangguo and relatives. ”

Fu Ruan felt a little sorry for her, this matter was obviously very sad, but she said it with a smile, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, it turned out that Zhaoyang, who seemed to be strong and lively, was actually very fragile in her heart, but she was used to being like this in front of people, in fact, she was very sad when there was no one.

Fu Ruan couldn't find an excuse to comfort her, so he only patted her on the shoulder, but Zhaoyang smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter, if it weren't for my mother's concubine, no one would be able to control me." ”

"You're so distressing." Once that kind of woman who is too tough is weak, it is really distressing.

Zhaoyang smiled: "Then how distressed you will be in the future, I will have the best relationship with you." ”

Fu Ruan nodded, no problem.

Just chatting, Gu Tingyun came back and walked towards them: "I'll leave for Jiangxian County tomorrow, I'm afraid I will have to stay for a few days, you can pack the things you need to bring by yourself." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go now." Zhaoyang nodded hurriedly, and ran to his yard after speaking.

Gu Tingyun was displeased: "What is she going to do?" ”

"She is a princess, so she can naturally go with you, if I follow you, what will I say! With her, I can follow me justifiably. ”

"Whoever doesn't know that you are my person, what will happen to you." Gu Tingyun said.

"I don't want to be gossiped about." In addition to those around her and those who know her, there are still many people outside who don't know about her existence, and most of them know that she is just a maid.

Gu Tingyun gritted his teeth, but Fu Ruan didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, so he turned around and left.

On the second day, everything was ready outside the house, and there were more than 30 people and ten carriages in Jiangxian County, all of which were filled with grain and flour, and Gu Tingyun sat on the horse and waited for Fu Ruan and Zhaoyang.

Song Qixuan also came at this time.

Gu Tingyun glanced at him expressionlessly, and when he saw that he had brought Xi'er with him, his face suddenly became ugly, and his mouth couldn't help but sarcastic: "Why does it taste so big?" ”

Song Qixuan frowned and glanced at him puzzled: "What smell?" ”

"A foxy smell." Pouted in disgust.

Song Qixuan's face suddenly became ugly, and he snorted coldly, but he didn't reply, turned his head away, and held back the fire.

Xi'er's face was even more ugly, this prince was clearly saying that she was a fox, but unfortunately she couldn't do anything, so she could only be coquettish with Song Qixuan.

"We're out." Fu Ruan and Zhaoyang walked out with the burden, and only brought Chunliu and a maid to serve them.

The two of them were stunned when they saw Song Qixuan, and when they saw Xi'er in his arms, they immediately turned their heads and got into the carriage one after another.

Song Qixuan saw that Fu Ruan didn't pay attention to him, and his face became even more stinky.

"That woman looks okay, but she's too dusty, can this Song Qixuan take a fancy to this product?" Zhaoyang couldn't believe it, how to say that he is also a little marquis, no matter how bad his vision of a woman is, it can't be so bad, although Ye Lanxin is not good-looking, but her temperament is as elegant and moving as an orchid.

Fu Ruan nodded: "He really looks at it, like a baby, he has to divorce his wife for her." ”

Zhaoyang rolled his eyes speechlessly, unable to understand what the man's brain was pretending to.

A procession rushed to Lin'an Jiang County, and it was the afternoon of the second day.

Jiangxian is the hardest hit area, it has a large population, but it is not rich, so the situation is worse, there are refugees everywhere, and the streets are full of affected people, some of them are holding the bark of trees and gnawing on them, and some of them are even stuffing mud into their mouths. Especially those children and the elderly, and even many people starved to death because they had nothing to eat, and the whole county looked lifeless, which made people's hearts writ.

Gu Tingyun frowned and looked at everything in front of him, and hurriedly ordered to go down and build a porridge tent next to the county lord's mansion.

The situation in front of him was even worse than he imagined, how could this be the current situation in less than half a month, he asked the county lord who was trembling beside him coldly: "Didn't the excerpt reported to the imperial court say that the disaster was only a few days?" How can it be so serious? ”

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the county lord, and he smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, the grain that was originally earned every year, even if it is a disaster in the coming year, it can resist for many days, but a few days ago, I don't know where a group of bandits came from, and they robbed the grain when they broke into the county, and they didn't wait for the relief of the imperial court when they ran out of food, so it became like this, not to mention that these people have nothing to eat, I took out the only remaining food in the house and distributed it, but it was only a drop in the bucket." ”

Originally, Jiangxian County was not rich, and the people relied on this grain to survive, and those bandits came to grab the grain at this time, which simply wanted the lives of these people!

Gu Tingyun's face was blue and he gritted his teeth, what about bandits hiding in this broken place? He must arrest these bandits and put them in prison.

"Is there any water?" Gu Tingyun said.

"There is no water within a radius of dozens of miles." The county lord shook his head and sighed.

The summer months in July are the hottest, and the sound of cicadas stopping in your ears is even more annoying.

Gu Tingyun sat on the chair with a cold face, her eyebrows were full of water, and Fu Ruan was very distressed when she saw this.

Natural and man-made disasters are sometimes unavoidable, although cruel.

"What's wrong?" Fu Ruan held his hand and asked.

"We have food, but we don't have water, so I don't know what to do." Gu Tingyun had a headache: "I have already asked Ah Xuan to go to Lin'an to transport water." ”

"If you just carry water, this will definitely not work. Not to mention the long distance, how much water can be transported at one time, which is time-consuming and laborious. "It would be nice if it could rain at this time.

"There's no way around it." Gu Tingyun said.

Zhaoyang looked at the people lying on the ground, a little frightened and a little scared, she had never encountered such a scene, when she was in the Southern Wei Dynasty before, she didn't care about anything except eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling. feels that she is a princess, high and noble, but her mother is not favored, the reason why she can be beautiful is because she has a place to be used, she feels that although she is a princess, it is a pity that she is miserable.

But what she saw today, she realized that she was not the most miserable one, in this world, there are more people who are more pitiful than her, and there are people who are a hundred times worse than her.

"Mother, I'm hungry ......" In front of a woman lay in her arms a child who was only three years old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and a very thin body, her lips were chapped and bloodshot, and she said weakly to the woman.

"Well, we will have food soon, the prince has come to Jingzhou and sent us food." Saying that, the woman's tears flowed out, Zhaoyang looked distressed, turned around and walked towards the tent, they brought some pastries when they came, she wanted to give herself some, the child was dying of hunger.

Fu Ruan saw her take the food and walked out, and couldn't help but shout, "What are you going to do?" ”

"The kid is so hungry that I'm afraid he'll die if he doesn't eat something." Zhaoyang pointed to the child in the woman's arms outside.

"No! The water hasn't been delivered yet, and we haven't given them anything to eat. If you take this out now, it will definitely cause a commotion, and then it will be out of control. Fu Ruan said worriedly, some of the people outside hadn't eaten for a long time, and they were hungry and panicked, if she took this out, it wouldn't be looking for trouble.

Zhaoyang thought for a while, felt that what she said made sense, and had to put down the pastry.

In the evening, Song Qixuan and the others brought the water back, which was almost just enough for this meal.

"We can't have to carry water for every meal, we can't afford it, so it's better to let them all go to Lin'an, at least Lin'an is much better than here." Song Qixuan said.

Gu Tingyun glanced at him and said: "It's easy to say, these people would rather starve to death here than see that they want to go somewhere else, no matter how poor Jiangxian is, they will stick to it." Do you know what the reason is? ”

Song Qixuan was slightly stunned and gritted his teeth.

"This is the place where they have lived for most of their lives, and life has long been an inseparable part of here, so even if they die, some people are not willing to leave here, if they are all gone, then Jiangxian will be an empty city." Fu Ruan said.

"Humph!" Gu Tingyun glared at Song Qixuan, his face was full of disdain, he couldn't do anything well every day except for spending time drinking, and there was nothing to be gained in his head except for bad ideas! Now it's not as good as a woman, and I'm afraid of trouble! He really hated this brother of his more and more.

Song Qixuan's face was red, a little ashamed, and Xi'er hurriedly brought him a cup of tea when he saw this.

Song Qixuan hurriedly took the tea in Xi'er's hand, drank it all in one gulp, and then fled in a gloomy manner.

After the porridge and steamed buns are ready, they will scoop up the porridge and distribute it to them, some people are hungry and have no strength, and other people who have eaten will automatically take care of them, but no one bothered.

"Wait a minute, you will carry water overnight, and prepare everything you will need tomorrow morning." Gu Tingyun said to Song Qixuan.

Song Qixuan responded with a wooden face, afraid of being reacted to by Gu Tingyun's words, even if he was unhappy, he didn't say it.

stayed in the county lord's mansion at night, Fu Ruan lived with Zhaoyang, and Gu Tingyun and Song Qixuan lived in one room.

The room was not enough to live, so Zhaoyang arranged for Chunliu and Xi'er to live in a room.

Xi'er was immediately unhappy and let her live with Chunliu, doesn't this mean that she is a maid? She looked at Song Qixuan pitifully, the latter didn't leave her this time, and suddenly Xi'er vomited blood.

Fu Ruan quietly gave Zhaoyang a thumbs up, and Zhaoyang laughed, she was happy to do something to humiliate Xi'er. , she just can't get used to this Xi'er's bewitching appearance.
