Chapter 78: Saving Lives (Bubble & Clan's Bi +2)
Sheng Siyan looked at the gray sky outside the window with some humility, as if the air was frozen, and he really didn't want to go out to join in the fun.
"Siyan, let's go take a look, those people are so pitiful." Niu Xiaoye is very soft-hearted, especially for those who are inferior to her, and always gives her compassion.
Sheng Siyan thought to herself that she couldn't do Niu Xiaoye and Zheng Suxin's Cheng dΓΉ, but she couldn't stand Niu Xiaoye's repeated persuasion, and finally said, "Then let's go and have a look." β
She has also been bored at home for more than ten days, and now that the Chinese New Year is coming, she doesn't know what's going on outside.
Sheng Siyan remembered that before the previous New Year's Festival, the Wang family would take her to the capital to buy New Year's goods. Although the family was very poor, Wang would always squeeze out a little extra money to buy her a new dress.
Living in the countryside, eating meat is only sold in the market on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.
But thanks to the blessing of the second brother Wang's family next door, Sheng Siyan's meat dishes have not been broken, and there are all kinds of mountain delicacies, which are better than Sheng Siyan's previous life, they are all pure natural green foods, and they don't need to add all kinds of condiments to cook, as long as they are cooked in white water and added a little salt, they are very fragrant.
Of course, salt is also a luxury for the former Wang family and Sheng Siyan......
Thinking of the days he had lived before, and then looking at the days he was living now, Sheng Siyan was a little ashamed. She remembered the Wangjia Village where she had lived before, not far outside the capital.
Are the people there doing well? Have they stockpiled enough food this winter?
Sheng Siyan's heart moved, and he said to Niu Xiaoye: "You wait here, I'll go and talk to my mother." β
Niu Xiaoye responded, watching Sheng Siyan wrap her mink tightly. In addition to the mink Guanyin pocket, she also wrapped her head and face with a long strip of fox skin. Only a pair of elf-like phoenix eyes were revealed.
Sheng Siyan came to Wang's Yanyu Hall and whispered to her, "Mother." It's snowing so hard and it's so cold, I don't know if the people in Wangjia Village are okay......"
Wang thought that after so many years, thanks to the people of Wangjia Village who had sheltered their mother and son, he also said, "I'll make someone take a look." If I need help, I'll figure it out. β
Sheng Siyan hurriedly smiled: "Well, then I don't care." Xiao Ye said that she wanted me to go out with her, and said that Grandma Zheng had set up a porridge shed and wanted porridge. Do we want to get together in our family? β
Wang squinted his eyes and looked at the sky outside, and said, "Grandma Zheng's kind deeds, let's not steal her limelight." Your father and I will prepare some medicinal herbs and boil some soup for everyone to drink, and we can use them to ward off cold and prevent diseases. β
"Dad hasn't come back from the palace yet, has he?" Sheng Siyan asked worriedly.
"Even if he comes back, he won't be reassured. You must know that on such a cold day, His Majesty's side is also very dangerous. Wang's thoughts turned to Emperor Xia Ming, who was lying in the palace. The face is calm.
Sheng Siyan nodded suddenly, "Exactly." Yesterday, three families sent us mourning stickers, and the old people in the family couldn't bear such a cold day and passed away. β
They were talking. Wang's eldest maid, Yu Gui, came in with two more mourning stickers, and sighed: "Madam, eldest girl, two more families have sent mourning stickers." β
Wang took it and looked at it. Said: "Tell the steward to send the funeral over as soon as possible." The day of the funeral is still early. Don't worry about it just yet. β
Because of the cold weather, it doesn't hurt to leave the old man who has passed away for a few more days. And because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the rich and noble families in the capital intend to hold a funeral after the New Year.
After a while, another big girl of the Wang family, Ju Xiang, came in with a post, and said with a puzzled face: "Madam, there is a steward from the Dali Temple's house, and he looks very anxious, saying that his master is seriously ill and wants to invite Grandpa Guo to take a look." The slave told him that Grandpa Guo was in the palace and had not been home for more than ten days. The man was so anxious that he couldn't do it, saying that now the palace gate was blocked, the people outside couldn't get in, the people inside couldn't get out, and other doctors didn't work, so he invited several of them, and they all said that there was no way, so they could prepare for the future......
Wang's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately said in a trembling voice: "Prepare a car for me, I'll go...... Dali Temple Cheng family. β
Sheng Siyan knew that Wang's medical skills were also very good, maybe a little worse than Sheng Qiye, but Wang went to take a look and figure out the symptoms, so he could go back and wait for Sheng Qiye to come back, and the two would learn again.
Juxiang was busy and went out to order someone to prepare the car.
But the steward of the outer courtyard hurriedly ran in and said, "Madam, the snow on the road outside has not been cleared, and it is so hard that you can't walk in a car, so you can only sit in a sedan chair." β
"Then prepare a sedan chair for me." Wang Shi was calm and calm. She went to the pharmacy to pack up the medicine box, thinking that she was not at ease, she wrapped a large bag of the medicinal materials she could think of, let Juxiang take it, and went to the clinic with her.
Sheng Siyan hurriedly said: "Mother, I'll go with you." β
Wang looked at her, shook his head and said, "You go out with Xiao Ye to see Grandma Zheng's porridge shed." I'll go to Dali Temple to take a look at the mansion first, and I'll tell you when I come back. With that, he hurried away.
Sheng Siyan stood at the door of Yanyutang with the door frame, watching the Wang family hurry away, she was tall, because she was in too much hurry, the long sable fur seemed to be taken out of a gust of wind, and soon walked out of the courtyard gate, turned a corner, and disappeared from Sheng Siyan's sight.
When he went out with Niu Xiaoye, Sheng Siyan was sullen.
They didn't take a car, they sat in the sedan chair of the Niu family.
Because Niu Xiaoye is very fat, the sedan chair prepared for her by her brother Niu Dapeng is very strong and spacious, and it is not a problem to sit two more people in it. There was also a brazier stuffed in the sedan chair, which burned warmly.
Niu Xiaoye also took out two plates of snacks like a trick, one was crispy fried broad beans, and the other was spiced and tender peanuts.
Seeing such a situation, Niu Xiaoye didn't forget to eat, couldn't help laughing, and said, "You are a generous person." β
"Of course. The sky is falling, there is a tall man in the way, what am I afraid of? Niu Xiaoye casually threw a spiced tender peanut into his mouth and ate it very sweetly.
Sheng Siyan asked her, "Your family has prepared enough food?" As far as she knows, this sudden heavy snowfall has caused many families to cut off their cooking, and even many rich and noble families have to make careful calculations.
The current situation is that there is nowhere to buy rice with money.
The stock of the rice shops in the market has been exhausted, but the rice grain outside has been closed due to heavy snowfall. I can't get in for a while.
Sheng Siyan and his family listened to Wang Yixing's reminder, that is, Wang's second brother. I stocked up on rice and grain in the Guogong Mansion early, not to mention a winter. It's just half a year without hindrance.
Niu Xiaoye's family is more familiar with Second Brother Wang, so she should be prepared, right?
Niu Xiaoye looked dazed and said, "I don't know." Anyway, as long as I have food to eat every day, I don't care about anything else. My brother said it's okay, it's okay. β
Sheng Siyan glanced outside the sedan chair, and sure enough, he saw a lot of people with bruised faces sitting on the side of the street, and said curiously: "Why are these people sitting here?" What are you going to do? Isn't it cold? β
Niu Xiaoye glanced at it and said, "That's the one who froze to death." β
Sheng Siyan shuddered and hurriedly retracted his head. Half a day is too slow.
Although she knew that these people had nothing to do with her. Their deaths have nothing to do with her, but she still can't help but think of the poem "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road".
Niu Xiaoye had already said it, "My brother said that Miss Zheng Er still has a compassionate heart. 'Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road', this poem simply goes to the bones. β
"This is also a sentence in "Xiangrong Anthology"?" Sheng Siyan has already been indifferent to Miss Zheng Er's "out-of-line" behavior, even Grandma Qiong Yao doesn't let go, can she still be expected to let Du Fu go?!
"yes. My brother almost memorized it. Niu Xiaoye said with a smile.
Niu Xiaoye's eldest brother, Niu Dapeng, is an ardent admirer of Zheng Xiangrong.
Alas. If this Second Miss Zheng hadn't died and hadn't fallen in love with the second prince, she probably wouldn't have ended up with such an early death......
However, when he thought that this matter was related to the royal family, Sheng Siyan couldn't help but open his mind.
Is it really sick and dead? Or "died of disease"? The difference between the two is huge.
Niu Xiaoye was chattering in her ear. Sheng Siyan continued without a match.
The two were talking happily when the sedan chair suddenly jolted.
Sheng Siyan and Niu Xiaoye were busy supporting each other and trying their best to stabilize their bodies.
Niu Xiaoye shouted outside, "What's wrong? What's wrong? β
The palanquin bearer outside seemed to have stopped. He didn't go any further, and said to the inside, "Big girl." The people who came to the government and Yizhuang in front of them are collecting corpses along the road. β
"Amitabha!" Sheng Siyan immediately prayed. "Someone finally remembered to do something serious."
"Where are the people of the government? You see, that's His Royal Highness the Prince's person! "There seemed to be some idlers on the side of the road who came out to see the excitement.
Sheng Siyan went out, and sure enough, he saw a man in a yellow robe riding a tall horse, coming over with a group of entourage, pointing around, and then watching his subordinates hold black cloth bags along the road to collect the burial. - It was the crown prince who she had a relationship with in the palace.
Sheng Siyan stared at the cloth bag tightly, and couldn't help but ask Niu Xiaoye, "What is that thing?" Have you seen it? β
Niu Xiaoye looked at it, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it." It's like a bag of rice, but it's not that long, isn't it? β
The sedan chair man outside listened to what the two people in the sedan chair said, and said, "We haven't seen it either." In the past, the government and Yizhuang collected corpses, and they all wrapped them in reed mats. β
Another said: "This thing is really good." One by one, they are loaded and put on the car, and they will not be listed to scare people. β
Sheng Siyan glanced at the prince on the horse a few more times, and saw that he had a heroic face and a look of compassion on his face, which won a lot of praise from everyone. - That should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Sheng Siyan secretly thought, that cloth bag is obviously the body bag of later generations, and she often sees this kind of thing when she is in emergency rescue and disaster relief.
Could it be that this is also Zheng Xiangrongsu? She copied other people's texts and did it, so what did she do when she got a body bag out? Besides, she's been dead for more than ten years, right?
Sheng Siyan couldn't help but ask Niu Xiaoye, "When did Zheng Xiangrong die?" β
Niu Xiaoye was dazed, "I don't know." More than ten years, right? β
Sheng Siyan was amused, "Your eldest brother admires Zheng Xiangrong so much, you don't know when she died?" β
"My eldest brother just knew, why should I know?" Niu Xiaoye frolicked with her.
The sedan chair paused, and the sedan chair man outside said, "Big girl, the road ahead is open, we have to go." β
Niu Xiaoye and Sheng Siyan hurriedly sat down.
After a while, they came to the place where the Wu family set up a porridge shed.
As soon as Niu Xiaoye opened the sedan curtain, he saw a crowd of people with black eyes, lined up in a long line, holding large and small rice bowls in their hands, and walking towards the steaming porridge shed in front.
"Oh my God, so many people! I've never seen so many people in East City! Is half of the people in Manjing here? Niu Xiaoye smacked his tongue.
Sheng Siyan glanced at it, and was also surprised, and said, "There are so many people." After a pause, he added, "It seems that there is a real shortage of food." β
She saw that those people were all yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and they did look like they had been hungry for several days.
In the porridge shed in front, Zheng Suxin actually stood aside wrapped in a fox fur, with the same face as Sheng Siyan, covered with a white fox fur bib, watching her subordinates give out porridge.
"Grandma, go back. I've been guarding here for days, and even the iron-beaten people can't stand it. The maid next to Zheng Suxin persuaded her hard.
Zheng Suxin smiled bitterly: "This matter is my beginning, so I naturally have to look at it." You look like it's just a bowl of porridge, but it's actually a human life......"
Sheng Siyan followed Niu Xiaoye to the front, and just heard Zheng Suxin say this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: As long as this Zheng grandmother doesn't target their Sheng family, she is indeed an impeccable good person when she is around.
