Seeing that he seemed to be unallowed, I was a little anxious, and grabbed the corner of his sleeve and said: "Now it is a cold winter, and it has been raining for days, and the houses are damaged, and the people are going to suffer from the cold." Sister Xinning cares about the people, but now that she is pregnant, she was a little frightened yesterday, and now her brother-in-law is out of the house...... Natural disasters suddenly come to the people to suffer, Rui'er as a palace concubine, usually enjoy all the glory, if at this time, can not share the worries for the husband, can not do some meager efforts for the people, then what face will I be in this palace in the future. ”

When Bao Yuan heard this, he squinted his eyes and smiled: "Rui'er, don't worry, I know that the Ling Mansion has been hanging pots for generations, so it is naturally a good intention." Although the disaster relief was handled by the father. But since I am a king and a parent of the people, I should naturally go to investigate the disaster situation in person to solve the urgent needs of the people. I'm going to go out of the palace today, okay? ”

"It turns out that Meng Lang has a plan in his heart" I grimaced, wrinkled my nose and feigned: "Bad eyes want people to be anxious, hum!" ”

"Yes, yes! Mrs. Xian urged from the side, how dare her husband be lazy and slack. He laughed and reached out to twist my face, smashing my cheek heavily, "Why don't you change out of your palace clothes quickly, let's leave immediately." ”

Bao Yuan took Xie Xingben and a few of his guards, and sent Liang Shouzhen to report to the Queen Mother about leaving the palace, and then took me out of the imperial city on horseback.

The group first went to the "Jishi Hall" in the front street of Luocheng in Deling Mansion.

"Jishitang" is a medical hall that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Ling family, and Ling Xuan was in charge of this Jishitang before entering the Taiyi Hall. Ling Xuan was originally ordered to stay outside the palace, but at this moment, he was waiting in the hall with Master Ling and Xin Ning, and Yin Wenxiu of Chengdu Mansion was also accompanied by Yin Wenxiu after receiving the will.

According to Yin Huiyu, due to the age of the building, the old houses in Luocheng have collapsed and been seriously damaged, and the injured residents have been sent to various medical centers for treatment, and the government has also set up temporary shelters for the victims to take refuge from the cold.

"How's the situation in Sheep and Horse City?" Bao Yuan asked.

"Go back to the emperor. The city of sheep and horses was built by Gaozu into Shu, and it has only been more than ten years. The minister thought that the disaster should not be serious. Why don't you deal with the disaster in Luocheng first......"

"You want to?" Bao Yuan frowned, and an angry face appeared on his face, "Luocheng and Yangma City both belong to the jurisdiction of Chengdu Prefecture, how can you take it for granted and deal with it hastily!" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are terrified!" Wen Xiu begged on the ground and said, "The minister immediately went to Yangma City to investigate the disaster. ”

"That's it! And you will stay in the city of Luo to settle the people who have been afflicted. I went to Yangma City to investigate. Bao Yuan couldn't bear to talk to him, so he immediately announced Ling Xuan and set off with everyone to Yangma City.

When Xinning heard this, she insisted on driving with her, and brought more than a dozen people from the Ling family and disaster relief materials to accompany her.

Yangma City is much stronger than Luo City, and the earthquake was indeed not seriously damaged.

But when the chariot drove to the outskirts of the city, it was a different scene, the low shacks were dilapidated and ruined, the wounded people were lying on the edge of the collapsed shacks, and the roadside was full of old and weak women and children begging, and the scene was very bleak.

Seeing this, I hurriedly called the accompanying doctor to take care of the injured, and helped Xinning to order the Ling family to set up a temporary relief point and start distributing the food they brought.

"Don't rob, don't rob, everyone has it!" Hungry crowds flocked to the scene, chaotic and almost out of control.

I was afraid that Xinning would be injured, so I said that I would send her back to the car for shelter, and then distribute food with the Ling family.

"Ahh In the chaos, my waist was hit hard, and when I looked down, a little boy with dirt on his face took advantage of the chaos to pull the jade pendant on my waist, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd and fled.

Seeing this, Xie Xingben chased the general out. Bao Yuan also moved to take me away from the crowd, and was about to return to the car, when the child had been captured and brought to him.

Looking at the boy who was kneeling in front of me, but he was reluctant to bow his head, I wanted to inquire, but I didn't want a little girl to run out of the oblique ground, knelt in front of me, and cried: "Don't beat my brother, please don't beat my brother...... My brother is a good person, don't hit my brother...... Woowoo woo ......"

The little girl was about five or six years old, her clothes were in tatters, and her hands and face were covered with dirt.

I bent down to look at her, wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and asked softly, "Sister, tell my sister why your brother robbed me of my jade pendant." ”

"Rich people don't have a good thing, if you want to kill it, you can take it." The boy was stubborn and disdainful.

"Beg my sister to let us go, we won't dare to steal next time, beg my sister to let my brother go." The little girl lay on the ground and kept kowtowing to me.

"Swallow, don't be so spineless." The boy shouted.

"At a young age, do you have the backbone to steal and rob openly?" Bao Yuan was displeased and scolded loudly.

"My mother is sick and has no money for treatment, and my brother has no choice but to do it." Called the swallow girl, she hid her face and sobbed.

I reached out and pulled her to her feet, and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you two brothers and sisters." Come, take me to see your mother. The swallow looked at me with teary eyes, and it took a long time to wipe her tears and lead the way.

After a short walk, I came to a dilapidated shack, and through the half-straw curtains, a thin ragged woman was lying dying on a bamboo mat, and I told the doctor who accompanied me to go and look at it.

"Please go back to the car and take shelter for a while, this woman has typhoid fever." The doctor hurriedly withdrew from the shed, his face uneasy.

"But there is still salvation?"

"This ......," the doctor grimaced.

"Do your best to heal, and there must be no mistakes." Bao Yuan said.

"Mother!" The little girl heard that her mother was seriously ill and wanted to rush over and was stopped by me, "Don't worry, this is the best doctor, you go back with me first." ”

"Mother!" The boy also wanted to enter the house at this time, but was picked up by Xie Xingben and caught under the coercion.

"Let go of me, let go of me, I want to accompany my mother, I want to accompany my mother!"

"Your mother is suffering from a very serious infectious disease, and the doctor will take her to the appropriate place for treatment in a while." For some reason, I actually like this stubborn kid a little.

"I'm not afraid, I want to guard my mother." The little guy didn't appreciate it, and still shook his fist to resist.

"Although you are not afraid, what about your sister? If your mother knew that you didn't take good care of your sister, do you think she would be able to heal her with peace of mind? Thinking that it was me, he listened, and the boy stopped struggling, and I motioned for Xie Xingben to let him down.

The boy took his sister and turned around to follow us in three steps, and then I entrusted his brother and sister to Xinning to take them back to the Ling Mansion for temporary placement.

Bao Yuan and I were about to get into the car, but we saw a white-haired old woman kneeling in front of the two of us, and the rest of the people who benefited also knelt down. "Thank you! Thank you, a few kind-hearted young masters and ladies. As he spoke, he plopped and kowtowed.

"Guys, hurry up." I said in unison with Bao Yuan.

I motioned for Xie Xingben to pick up the old woman and said to her, "Listen to the accent, you are not a local. ”

"We all fled here because of the war in the Central Plains. The Central Plains was plagued by wars and famines every year, and there was no way to live to beg to this rich place. I don't want the officials here to be resettled just because we are homeless. The old woman raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears, her face full of pain.

"Let's all get up, I promise that tomorrow there will be an official office to settle you." Bao Yuan said loudly.

"Really?" "Well, it doesn't look like this boy is going to deceive." "Amitabha, I really saw a living bodhisattva......" The crowd began to talk, and Bao Yuan shook my hand and turned to leave.

Sitting in the car on the way back, watching the crowd gradually moving away.

Those who have suffered so much from the war, those eyes that are eager to live in a happy homeland pierce deep into my heart.

If my fate is destined to be entangled with this Xishu, it is a responsibility and mission destined by God and me.

As the concubine of the king of Shu, I am even more of his bosom friend, so I should join hands with him to take care of the people of Western Shu.

Thinking of this, a sudden surge of pride in the chest, those grievances buried deep in the heart of the past are especially confused, those uneasiness and self-pity have disappeared, only feel that I have injected a powerful force into my life, I smile at the corner of my mouth, and silently make a vow in my heart: I swear to the sky today, I will spend my life to assist my husband, seek peace and abundance for the people of Xishu, and do my best to protect the future generations of Shuchuan.

The next day, Ling Xuan returned to the palace to recount the feelings of disaster relief and help, and asked how the family of three was doing, and knew that the brother and sister were surnamed Cao, the elder brother Cao Wu was nine years old, and the younger sister Cao Yan had just turned six years old. Originally from Henan, living in the suburbs of Bianliang, his father was conscripted by the Tang government and died in the military disaster of the Tang Dynasty in the Jin Dynasty.

The war in the Central Plains was chaotic, and the people heard that Xishu was stable and prosperous, and they went to Shu to avoid trouble. The brothers and sisters of the Cao family depended on their mother, followed their fellow villagers to move to Shu, and set up a tent in the suburbs of Yangma City, Chengdu.

Asked about Cao's mother's illness, Ling Xuan's face was heavy, and he said: "Cao's mother should have been infected for a long time, when the emperor and Niangniang came to Yangma City for disaster relief, Cao's mother had a high fever and diarrhea for three days. The doctor was first diagnosed with typhoid fever, and although he went to Tzu Chi Hall for treatment, his knowledge was limited, and he tried his best to recover from it. After Cao's mother died, the courtier's brother and wife had someone to bury her good life, and saw that the Cao brothers and sisters were pitiful, and now they are staying in the house for temporary support. ”

Hearing the sadness, the child lost the protection of his mother at an early age, how to live in the future, although the Ling family is good, it is not a long-term solution, not to mention that there will not be one or two children who are orphaned due to the disaster.

He also remembered that typhoid fever can be transmitted through water sources and food, and that there is often a major epidemic after a catastrophe, so he hurriedly reminded Baoyuan to take precautions as soon as possible.

Subsequently, Bao Yuan's father led the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Medical Center Bureau to start disaster relief and epidemic prevention. He also ordered the Chengdu government to compile the household registration of the displaced people and fill them into Yangma City.

The next day, he learned from Baoyuan that there were many children who had lost their parents among the displaced people after the disaster, and it was difficult to resettle them for a while.

Because of Baoyuan's praise, the Compassion House was built. The Ling family was in charge, and Xin Ning was even more focused on this matter after that.

Knowing that the Cao family brothers and sisters were also sent to the Compassion Home to be raised, I sincerely prayed: I only hope that these children will be fed, clothed, and taught, and will not go astray in the future. If my grandmother had a spirit in heaven, she would be glad that I did this!
