The three children lived in the other courtyard like this, Xu because he was not able to help more victims, Yu Yu twisted a knot in his heart, so he was very concerned about the food and accommodation of the three children, not only ordered to prepare new clothes for them, but even the bedding personally instructed to add two more, as if he wanted to make up for his own weakness.

It was late yesterday, so I didn't leave them to say a few words, and when I got up the next day and had breakfast, Yiyu asked about them, and Pingyun thought she wanted to see someone, so she called the little maid guarding the door to bring people over.

Anyang is not more than the capital Wei Wangfu has more people, just the jade needs to be quiet, moved out of the Governor's Mansion, and did not bring any people, left and right are the ones who followed her in the Jade Courtyard.

The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the remnant of the jade, said in advance that he was not going to make a big deal, but a few tables of banquets still have to be placed, Pingxia counted the ingredients in the kitchen in the morning, which was originally a matter of Chen Qu in the palace, but she stayed in Chang'an and did not follow, so it became Pingxia and their work, she took two small ones, and heard that the widow was looking for it, so she put down the work in her hand and came over together.

Yi Yu sat outside reading a book, and when she saw Pingxia leading two little girls in, she put down the book and looked up carefully.

The child's facial features are already immature, the grass and small buds are washed and cleaned, although the skin is yellow because of malnutrition, but the facial features are upright, the sister has big eyes, double eyelids, and the younger sister is tied with two pigtails, and the red hair rope is tied on the head.

"Bye, meet the princess."

"Little bud worship, worship the princess."

Just such a sentence, Pingxia didn't know how long she had been teaching last night.

The sisters' hometown is far away from Chang'an, and they only know that the princess is a much more powerful figure than the county princess.

Fortunately, I met them once last night, and the ones who were kind and kind were not as terrible as they knew, and even made them feel a little kind, as if they had begged all the way from their hometown, and occasionally met their sisters and aunts who gave them alms.

Listening to Pingxia babbling several times last night, they knew very well that if it weren't for the kind-hearted lady in front of them, they would definitely be taken away and sold by the bad guys, and they would never come back.

The two sisters spoke with some northern accents, which Yi Yu had heard last night, but Xiao Di's child had not, obviously they were not from the same place.

"Pingyun, bring two cushions and let them sit and talk."

There was a clean blanket on the ground in front of her, but it was not warm in February, and it was uncomfortable for a child to sit on the ground for a long time.

Xiaocao and Xiaoya saw that Yiyu opened their mouths to give up their seats, and twisted their heads to Pingxia together, and when they saw her nodding, they held hands and moved towards Pingyun, who had laid out the mat and waved at them with a smile.

After they sat down, Yiyu asked Pingxia to put the snacks and tea fruits prepared in advance on the small table in front of them, and said with a pleasant face:

"Do you remember where home is?"

My sister is still young, and her attention was attracted by the beautiful and delicate snacks in front of her, and she didn't hear Yu Yu's question, so her sister was much more sensible, so she was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied:

"Sand, Sandtown."

Although she hadn't heard of this place, Yi Yu still nodded, she had heard from Pingxia that the parents of the little sisters had already starved to death on the road, and they still relied on the kind villagers to dig some wild vegetables for them to eat, so that they could walk to Anyang alive.

But I don't want to, when I get here, what awaits me is not a way to live that they have been longing for for a long time, but-

Yi Yu was in a trance, pulled his thoughts back, and saw Xiao Ya staring blankly at the snack plate, looking like he wanted to eat but didn't dare to take it, so he leaned forward, pointed to a plate of plum blossom cakes, and said softly:

"This one is sweet, you can taste it."

The two turned their heads to look at Pingxia again, and the latter hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wrapped a piece and sent it to her sister's hand, and when she carefully took it with both hands, she took another piece and sent it to her sister's mouth.

Sister Xiaoya took a small bite and chewed the taste in her mouth with relish, and her sister Xiaocao held the piece of snack, with a clear desire in her eyes, but she didn't send it to her mouth, but turned her head and watched her sister eat.

Seeing that she didn't move, Yi Yu asked, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

Xiaocao shook her head timidly, glanced at Xiaoya again, and explained in a low voice:

"My mother said that I have to wait, wait for my sister to be full first."

Hearing this, Yi Yu suddenly remembered that when she was a child, their family of four was still living in a mountain village, and they were poor at first, and the family was short of food, so it was a dry cake, and her mother and brothers ate it first with her.

Almost instantly, a mist gathered in Yi Yu's eyes, she turned her head sideways, calming her fluctuating emotions, and Pingxia, who was feeding Xiaoya with a snack, couldn't help but turn her head to wipe her tears.

I am used to enjoying fine clothes and food, and once upon a time I can still remember that there were times when I was satisfied with food and clothing.

"Eat, you will stay here from now on, there will be plenty of food at home, and you will not be hungry again."

Yi Yu gently coaxed, sister Xiaocao nodded happily, sister Xiao Ya licked the snack foam on her lips, raised her face, looked at Yu Yu with bright eyes, and said with anticipation:

"Can you let my brother and aunts come too? They, they are hungry too. ”

Hearing this childish words, Xiaocao secretly pulled off her sister's arm, and Yu Yu turned her head to ask Pingxia:

"Do they have any relatives here?"

Pingxia glanced at the two sisters, shook her head at Yi Yu with certainty, and said, "No." ”

"And what did she say?"

"It should be the villagers who came to Anyang to beg together, they are now-" Pingxia said halfway, as if she remembered something, she lost her voice, lowered her head and continued to feed Xiaoya snacks.

Yi Yu didn't ask any more, but avoided the child's eyes staring at her, full of expectation, looking out of the door, and gradually distracted.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull, except for the small noise of the two children eating their snacks, and it was silent for a while, until a figure rushed in front of the door to break the silence.

"You're a princess, you're a princess, aren't you?"

Hearing this rude voice, Pingyun opened his mouth and wanted to reprimand, but when he saw the person clearly, he didn't scold.

Yi Yu looked at Xiao Di who ran in, and Yu Tong chased after him in a panic, but Yu Tong obeyed the rules, stopped when he chased him to the door, and didn't dare to break in, he only lowered his voice and shouted at Xiao Di:

"Come out, come out"

Xiao Dili ignored him, his face was red all the way, panting, and he said loudly to Yiyu:

"Those villains who arrested us and left, said they were going to sell us and beat people, and killed Uncle Niu, several sisters were bullied by them, locked in a small black room, crying all day long, you can save us out, you must not be afraid of those bad guys, you go and arrest them all, and then rescue everyone, right?"

Compared with the dirty children I saw last night, Xiao Di in front of him, washed clean, with a white face and clean clothes, did not look like a little beggar on the side of the road, but a little scholar from a big family.

Yi Yu heard him shout at the top of his voice, raised his hand and waved at Pingxia, who was about to step forward to pull the child down, and motioned for her to retreat.

She picked up the teacup, took a sip to her mouth, swallowed the dullness stuck in her throat, looked at the child in front of her, and wanted to say something to appease him and persuade him first, but when she opened her mouth, it was a stiffness that she was unfamiliar with:

"I'm not afraid of those bad guys, but I can't save so many people."

She can't fool a child, and she doesn't want to.

"Why?" Xiao Di's eyes widened in surprise, "Aren't you the princess, you are the concubine of the prince of Wei, even the county commander is afraid of you."

Yi Yu shook his head, "They are afraid of the prince, not me." ”

Xiao Di seemed to understand whether he understood or not, his shoulders slackened, and the next moment, he stood up again:

"Then, then you can also catch the bad guys, those who are officials are afraid of the prince, and they will definitely not dare to disobey you, you let the yamen arrest the bad guys and rescue everyone, okay?"

Yi Yu's mouth was bitter, and she asked her to explain to the same child that there are two kinds of relationships in this world, one is called the official and bandit family, and the other is called the official and official protection.

It's like asking her to take care of someone else's money and borrow a knife, to cut through someone's money bag, to take away someone's money, who would be willing to do such a stupid thing, and the other party is not a person, but a whole boatload of people.

"Shall I save them, release them, and continue to let them beg and starve?" She asked, not knowing whether she was asking a child for a solution or asking herself.

"You can give them something to eat."

"Why should I give them food, they have their own hands and feet, they can walk, they can work, why should I feed such a large group of people, and feed and drink them for nothing?"

Yi Yu used indifference to cover up his powerlessness, trying to dispel the child's delusions, but he still did not give up and said:

"You hire them and let them do things for you, as long as you give them food."

"Is there any difference between selling them and the bad men of your mouth?"

Xiao Di was asked by her words, and was stunned for a long time, the expression on the face of the child who was not big could not be hidden at all, one was annoyed, one was confused, one was surprised, and in the end, it was fixed on a look of anger:

"Don't make so many excuses, you just won't save them anyway"

Yu Yu lowered her curly eyelashes, covering the waves in her eyes, she shook her head and said softly:

"Yes, I can't save them."

Xiao Di clenched his fists, stared at her deadly, gritted his teeth and yelled at her, and ran out without looking back-

"What a bullshit princess, it's useless"

Listening to his scolding, the people in the room turned pale with fright, Ping Xia knelt down towards Yi Yu with a puff, Ping Yun hurriedly turned around to see Yu Yu's face, Yu Tong stood at the door in a daze, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

"The master is angry, Xiao Di is still just a child, he doesn't understand anything, please forgive the master."

Yi Yu looked at the child's back in a daze, and it was not until he disappeared outside the door that he suddenly came back to his senses, held on to the corner of the table and struggled to stand up, and walked to the bedroom.

"Yu Tong, take care of him, don't let him run away."
