Chapter 116: The Temperament of the People

Autumn is getting stronger, the weather is getting colder, an autumn rain is cold, the autumn rain is coming, and the autumn is changing from warm to wet and cool.

Many of the refugees outside the city were still wearing thin clothes, and they had not had time to bring thick clothes to escape the war.

The partition of the carriage was gently knocked, and Li Xian opened the curtain, only to see Sima Shao riding on a horse, looking at him quietly.

"Why doesn't Your Highness sit in the car?"

Sima Shao looked around at the tide of refugees outside the city and sighed, "Can you sit comfortably in the carriage?" ”

Li Xian was helpless: "It's not stable, and it's not comfortable." It's a little smaller, and the legs can't be straightened. ”

Sima Shao turned his face to look at him and said, "These people are all the children of my father's emperor, just because of a war, they had to leave their hometowns, and since then they have no food and clothing, and they will even die in other places......"

Li Xian listened to it for a long time, and couldn't help but say in confusion: "What His Highness said, I am a little unclear below, we are also here to relieve the villagers and help the people survive this calamity, why do we say this with you?" ”

Sima Shao glanced at him, sighed, and said: "After all, we are the courtiers of our father, and this trip is also on behalf of our father to pacify and quell the rebellion of the people, there is nothing wrong with you sitting in the carriage, but... I still have to give you a few words of advice, there is a flood of refugees outside the city, and you are sitting in a carriage, which is not very appropriate. ”

Li Xian's eyes widened in a daze, and he was speechless for a while.

I got out of the carriage and got on my horse.

Looking up at Sima Shao's face, it was as serious as he had never seen before.

Li Xian's body couldn't help but tremble, and deep in his heart, he seemed to have a new understanding of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was established by His Majesty at a young age, is giggling on the surface and has nothing to do every day, but in private he is still serious about serious things and cannot tolerate sloppiness.

After getting along during this time, Li Xian was full of good feelings and awe for Sima Shao, in his heart, Sima Shao was like Zhang Jun, very talkative, very humorous, and often could be amused to laugh in one or two sentences.

However, this ...... Is it the real Sima Shao?

Did he rely on his hippie smile to be valued by His Majesty and made him the crown prince?

Until today, at this moment, looking at the incomparably serious tone on Sima Shao's face.

Li Xian finally realized that Sima Shao in his original impression was not exactly a casual face, he also had a serious side, he really remembered the people, at this point, as a prince, he did much better than him as a courtier.

For a lifetime, it is not long to say that it is long, and it is not short to say that it is short.

We will always meet all kinds of people, passers-by who have a relationship, friends who have interest exchanges, and relatives who are flesh and blood.

We all know that their appearance around us is not inevitable, and we also know that we meet many people, but few who are sincere to ourselves.

Fortunately, Sima Shao is such a friend, he can play with Li Xian, but before he really faces the big things of right and wrong, he also has his own bottom line.

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each with his own temperament, and Sima Shao can distinguish between right and wrong, which is enough.

Then.

In the middle of the road, a middle-aged woman holding the old man in her left hand and a child in her right hand suddenly stumbled under her feet, and the old man fell down the road suddenly.

Sima Shao's expression was tense and he hurriedly dismounted, and after Li Xian was stunned for a moment, he also dismounted, and the two walked towards the old man who fell.

"Dad, are you alright?" The woman was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, looking at the old man with a guilty face, and the child in her arms was also so frightened that she cried, followed by an old woman, carrying heavy luggage and secretly wiping away tears.

A group of enthusiastic people were around, constantly looking and asking.

The old man's face was ugly, flushed, his breathing was a little short, and he lay on the ground and couldn't get up.

"Spread out, what are you doing around? Leave room for the old man to breathe! Sima Shao yelled unceremoniously in the crowd.

Seeing that Sima Shao was riding a white horse and dressed extraordinarily, the refugees knew that there was something going on, so they all consciously got out of the way.

Sima Shao dismounted and squatted down, looked at the old man's face carefully, pondered for a moment, and said, "Quickly send the military doctor over, quickly!" ”

Soon, the guards led the medical officer who accompanied them, squatted down and began to check the pulse of the old man, and it didn't take long for the chubby medical officer to smile bitterly: "The old man is fine, but he has nothing in his pocket, and his body is empty......

Li Xian was stunned and turned his head to look at the old man's weak face.

Sima Shao was anxious, and raised his voice: "Come on, get some rice porridge!" ”

The woman who had supported the old man before, as well as the child in her arms and the old woman behind her, all swallowed their saliva involuntarily when they saw the steaming bowl of rice porridge.

But he still resolutely held the rice porridge, brought it to the old man's mouth, and fed the old man the porridge one bite at a time.

The old man woke up and saw the woman feeding herself.

After being stunned for a while, he became unusually angry, raised his hand and slapped his daughter hard, and scolded: "Useless guy, you don't eat the food yourself, and you don't feed the children, but you waste it on my old man."

The family has been broken, your husband has died on the battlefield, and now you are the backbone of the family, and you can take care of the family when you are full of food and drink. But you are such a waste of food, do you know that you are wrong! ”

The old man became more and more angry, and the woman became anxious, knelt in front of the old man and kowtowed while crying, and said: "Dad, take care of yourself, everything is wrong with your daughter, your daughter is useless, you can't raise your old and young, your daughter should die!" ”

The old man said angrily: "Who deserves to die? Damn it's war! ”

"Your mother and I gave birth to you and raised you, and we expect you to be able to carry a family, which is really useful, but you waste food on me, a useless person, the family is already in such a situation, don't you know how precious food is?"

Saying that the old man was angry, he raised his hand and slapped the woman hard, the woman kept crying loudly, the old man did not hide from her, let the old man vent his anger, the woman on the side secretly wiped her tears, and did not dare to cry, and the child was also afraid to hide behind his mother and tremble.

The old man's temper eased and said, "Where did the food come from?" Have you ever thanked someone? ”

The woman got up, faced Sima Shao and Li Xian, didn't say a word, knelt down, and immediately kowtowed to thank them.

Sima Shao felt sad in his heart, Li Xian's eyes were already red, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

In ancient times, the common people generally only wore plain coarse cloth clothes, so people used "cloth clothes" or "white ding" to describe the common people. Expensive silk fabrics can only be enjoyed by rich and noble families, so the children of rich families are called "gentlemen".

Their people, dressed in clothes made of cheap coarse cloth, lived a hungry and full life, but they had a more proud temperament than princes and generals, and no one could help but be moved when they saw it.

"Come on, send them to the porridge shop, and entertain them."
