The first time she came into contact with the event, Eddie Hill was very busy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although I don't know what will happen to the other Yizhen, but for the Yizhen Association of the Silver Rose Family, it is definitely an out-and-out protracted battle and physical work.

Because Shirley was busy from the beginning to the end, Eddie Hill was too embarrassed to say that she wanted to rest, and kept taking biscuits or candy cubes from the hands of the maid on the side and distributing them to everyone, and after I don't know who proposed to shake hands, there was one more thing to do.

Eddie Hill was very confident in her physical strength, so she was very surprised that she didn't get tired at the end of the morning.

However, she felt that she might have been infected by the smiles on everyone's faces, full of joy and joy, and before she knew it, she forgot about her tiredness.

When Shelle clapped her hands and told Iofita to ring the bell to announce the end of the Righteous Uprising, Adehill sat back in a folding chair, too tired to lift her hands.

"Everyone's worked hard!" Shellier smiled and waved to the staff of the Righteous Revitalization Society, then looked at the dragon princess, "Eddie Hill is also lucky. ”

Compared with the time when Shirley was originally at the door of the police station, accompanied by a dozen guards and two maids, distributing meatloaf alone, the number of people in the Yizhen Society team is now unimaginably large, and there are more than 100 people in the ranks of the guards, ordinary porters who resist the goods, and maids who help distribute supplies.

Although the nature of the Society has changed slightly to some extent over the years, Shellier still has not given up this "hobby", perhaps the most essential reason is that as a woman, whenever she witnesses the changes of the Society and the smiles on the faces of the citizens, she can feel the meaning of her life the most.

"Madame......" However, Eddie Hill couldn't help but look at Shirley with some confusion while she was tired: "In my opinion, the objects you donate to seem to be people who don't need donations, and this kind of donation activity can really be called 'charity'?"

Hearing Edhill's words, Shellier couldn't help but laugh slightly, Eddiehill's intelligence surprised her again and again, but also sighed a little, Eddie Hill is indeed the most suitable duchess candidate for the Ian family.

"As you say, Edhill, the real charity is just beginning. Shirley looked at Eddie Hill and smiled slightly.

"Just the beginning?" Eddie Hill savored Shirley's words, and after reacting, she couldn't help but shudder, she looked at the crowd that was gradually flashing, and her voice became a little rapid and sharp, "Doesn't that just now?"

"Aren't you very clear, Eddie Hill?" Shirley tidied up her somewhat disheveled hair slightly, and then looked tenderly at the hesitant walk out of the corner after the crowd had dispersed.

Real beggars.

"Although the children just now are very enthusiastic, these are the people who really need help. With the same smile as before, if not more enthusiastic, she thrust three times as much material into the hands of the poor.

Although in the past nine years, the charity of White Rose City and Shirlier have been very different, but Shirlier's sincerity for the sake of the poor has never changed.

Looking at the smile on Shirley's face, Eddie Hill unconsciously wandered, then stood up again in silence, stood beside the Duchess of Silver Rose, quietly picked up the biscuits on the table, and handed them out.

In contrast to the busy morning, there are not many people gathered in front of the almsgiving table during the period after noon, but all of them are ragged, disabled, or sick, and they are the real needy who need help.

In the morning, Shirley and Eddie Hill just silently distributed the bread, and those who came forward to receive the bread either looked pained or numb, and some would bend down desperately to thank them after receiving the bread, but many more were silently and subconsciously arched their heads and nodded - they didn't even have the courage to raise their heads and look at Adehill's beautiful face.

In the midst of such a silent movement, Shirlier suddenly asked, "Eddie Hill, will you wonder why there are still such poor people in such a White Rose City?"

Eddie Hill subconsciously looked at Shelly's side face, and then slowly shook her head: "There has never been a king who can make all his people have enough food and clothing—never." ”

Shirley quietly put the biscuit in her hand into the hand of the beggar girl in front of her, and then gently squeezed the girl's trembling palm, but the words in her mouth did not stop: "Then what do you think we are doing now? If you know that it is impossible for everyone to be happy and rich, then why do you donate to others in such a form? Is it just out of the hypocrisy called compassion?"

Adehill's fingers froze, not knowing how to answer.

However, Shirley's words did not stop, and the lady's gaze pierced through the leisurely sunlight, wandering to the other side of memory and time.

"I still remember the first time I followed my family to distribute supplies to the people affected by the drought out of curiosity. ”

"Looking at those ragged people, it fills my heart, and it is an emotion called empathy. Because we are conscious that we are human beings, and because we are aware that others are human beings, we cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of others who are called human beings, and this is compassion. ”

"However, compassion is one-sided, it can only meet people's needs for a while, just like our family in the past, in the face of the disaster victims all over the city, even if we did everything we could, we could only help less than one percent of them to eat and live for three months. And where we can't see it, there are millions of people waiting to be helped. But just giving out a week's worth of food to less than a hundred people can satisfy our compassion as human beings, and then gradually grow tired of this unprofitable giving......"

"So...... Compassion is pointless and useless. ”

Listening to Shirley's words, Eddie Hill completely stopped: "It's not useless, right...... This mood ......"

She looked at Shirley and argued softly: "Isn't compassion a part of benevolence and benevolence? Because of benevolence and benevolence, ministers are willing to fight for peace for the people of the world, and isn't it because the emperor has benevolence and righteousness in his heart that he can be diligent in the king's government and exchange for a prosperous world in the world?"

"Something like that...... I don't know......" Shirley smiled softly, "I'm not a nobleman, I was just the daughter of a small merchant before I became the duke's wife. ”

"A long time ago, I bought flour and beef from outside with the maids in the Duke's palace and made them myself, because I thought that this would not increase the burden on the palace too much, and would allow everyone to eat delicious and safe food. ”

Shirley whispered, a wistful smile on her face, as if the rich meatloaf smell had re-evaporated, "But Evan told me that it wasn't right......

"For the poor, it is better to let them eat than to eat well, and how is black bread compared to white bread? For the vast majority of the citizens, they would rather eat the black bread mixed with sawdust and oatmeal, than buy the white bread that kneels several times more......

"For the truly poor, what they want is not to eat well, but to have enough to eat. Instead of eating meatloaf and milk every other year and then prostrating due to gastrointestinal discomfort and lactose intolerance, they are able to eat a large piece of brown bread every day. ”

"Compassion looks wonderful, but it doesn't matter at all until it becomes true empathy. ”

Eddie Hill's lips opened slightly, looking at the dress on Shirley's body in the sun, exuding a faint luster.

The lady did not dislike it, and brushed the hair of her sideburns with her dirt-stained fingers: "Compassion is only to calm the uncomfortable mood in one's own heart, and only empathy, which is restrained by reason, is the 'righteous act' that truly puts oneself side by side with others, and considers it from the perspective of others, and is truly suitable for others." ”

So I accepted Evan's proposal to swap the patty and milk for biscuits and free medical check-ups, radishes and sweet potatoes. At this point, Shellier couldn't help but smile lightly, "But even so, I still can't turn my senseless compassion into empathy - not because I don't realize it, or because I don't have the same ability and vision as Evan as a woman...... So even if it's just a senseless sense of compassion, allow me to shed some light on the needs of those who are still in the mud today. ”

"However, you are different...... Edhill" Shirley turned her head and looked at Edhill with a gentle gaze, "Eddie Hill, you are different from me, you are the same as my predecessor, the princess of the Empire, the princess Vichyson, you are a real, well-educated child of the imperial family, you have the ability to assist Evangel's child, you have the foresight to assist Evangel's child, but the only thing I can't be sure of is whether you have the will to assist Evangel's child...... After all, that child has done such cruel deeds to you and your country for the sake of justice and 'empathy' in his heart......"

Eddie Hill looked at Shirley blankly, listened to her words, and then when she heard "you and your country", her chest was almost torn apart, and she covered her chest with a pale face, she didn't expect that in the entire Duke's Palace, the first to tear the bloody wound open was actually the gentle, but also seemingly ignorant of political affairs Lady Silver Rose in front of her.

She was a little confused, she didn't know what to do, she lowered her head suddenly, and responded to the poor people in front of her indiscriminately, she didn't know what to do, she thought she was ready to go with the flow, but it wasn't until she was asked what she really thought in her heart that she suddenly realized that this answer was not as simple and easy to answer as she had imagined.

However, a sudden accident rescued her from being in distress.

The blue-haired girl in front of her, whose whole body was shrouded in a shabby cloak, seemed to have tripped over someone behind her, and her already thin and weak body was unstable, but she pounced on Edhill.

Eddie Hill subconsciously reached out and caught her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to!" The girl herself didn't seem to expect such a thing to happen, because she bumped into the honorable lady (Eddie Hill), and her voice seemed very disturbed, "Yes! I'm sorry!"

After a sharp bow to Edhill, she reached out and grabbed the biscuit on the table, and fled in a panic.

Eddie Hill looked at the girl's back and subconsciously opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't shout.

"Are you alright?" said Shelly's worried voice.

Edhill shook her head slightly.

Cold drops of sweat trickled down her slender back, and Edhill pretended to be indifferent, secretly hiding the note in her hand into her sleeve.
