Chapter Eighty-Six: No Food

"This official, can you take us in? My sister has contracted the wind chill and is now unconscious, please. ”

This is the first time in Zhao Yu'er's life to ask for someone else, her noble identity has never begged anyone, even if it is the current emperor, she has never begged, but now for Xiao Di, she can beg, even if she is asked to change Xiao Di's life, Zhao Yuer will not hesitate.

Zhao Yu'er carefully looked at the clothes of the man in front of her, Zhao Yu'er could see at a glance that the clothes the man was wearing were from the official family, and there were some old people lying nearby, Zhao Yu'er guessed that she might be willing to take them in.

Cen Beisheng gave up his place to the sick people to rest, so he leaned on casually, ready to squint and sleep for a while, when suddenly there was a voice from here, Cen Beisheng got up and took a look, and happened to see this scene.

"What's going on?" Cen Beisheng's deep voice came, this voice was very familiar, Zhao Yuer turned her head, and sure enough, she saw that it was Cen Beisheng.

"Master, they just arrived here, and some of them have contracted the wind chill." The man had to briefly introduce the general situation, and Cen Beisheng probably knew the situation.

Zhao Yu'er saw that it was Cen Beisheng, and hope came to her heart, "Cen Gongzi, please, save Xiao Di." ”

Cen Beisheng nodded, signaling that she didn't have to worry, "Yuelin, quickly ask Doctor Zhang to show this girl and arrange for others to stay first." ”

"Yes, master, please come with me." Yuelin took the woman and the little girl to the burning fire to warm up, while Zhao Yuer stood beside Dr. Zhang and watched, her fingers kept stirring.

After Dr. Zhang diagnosed Xiao Di, he turned to look at Zhao Yuer, "The girl doesn't have to worry, she is just infected with the wind chill and has a fever, take the medicine, it will get better slowly, don't worry too much." ”

Zhao Yu'er was grateful, and hurriedly saluted sideways, "Thank you doctor for saving your life." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Cen Beisheng's eyes, who was standing not far away and watching, how could this etiquette feel like only people in the palace would practice this etiquette.

"Cen Gongzi, Cen Gongzi." Zhao Yu'er walked over, wanting to thank Cen Beisheng, but found that Cen Beisheng was looking ahead in a daze, so she called a few times.

"Well, what's wrong?" Cen Beisheng came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Yuer embarrassedly.

"It's okay, Yu'er is here to express her gratitude to Gongzi Cen." Zhao Yu'er smiled indifferently, in fact, she wanted to inquire about Zhou Mingshu's news, but she didn't know where to start, so she had to not mention it.

"Why did Miss Zhao appear here?" Cen Beisheng's question was very straightforward, Cen Beisheng had an intuition in his heart, the identity of the woman in front of him must not be simple.

"After saying goodbye to Gongzi Cen and Gongzi Zhou that day, Xiaodi and I left Wanping County, not wanting to have a snowstorm on the road and not being able to go to Daxing County, so we had to return the same way."

"Why are you going to Daxing County?" Cen Beisheng's eyes were inquiring, he wanted to know where this young lady came from and what his purpose was.

"I have relatives living there and want to find relatives." Zhao Yuer explained in a panic, but she didn't dare to look at Cen Beisheng in front of her, Cen Beisheng had a strong sense of oppression, which made Zhao Yuer feel defeated directly.

"That's right, okay, then Miss Zhao should go find a place to rest, people who are not infected with the wind and cold tomorrow can go in, you can go in with them."

Cen Beisheng looked at the city gate, the city gate that was closed tightly did not have the slightest intention of opening.

Zhao Yu'er suddenly became excited, "What! Those infected with the wind and cold can't go in, so let them wait here to die? ”

"That's not what it means, this is for the consideration of the people in the entire Wanping County, after the inspection is clear, everyone can go in." Cen Beisheng didn't know how to explain to Zhao Yu'er, looking at Zhao Yu'er's excited appearance, Cen Beisheng was afraid that Zhao Yu'er would make noise to the rest of the victims, so he hurriedly signaled to Zhao Yu'er, there were other people here to rest.

Zhao Yuer suddenly knew her gaffe, so she gently covered her mouth.

"Okay, these Zhao girls don't have to worry, we are free to arrange, Miss Zhao should rest early."

After saying that, Cen Beisheng turned around and left, Zhao Yuer had no choice but to walk back to see how Xiao Di was doing.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Ziwei still accompanied the victims, telling everyone to pay attention not to catch a cold, Zhou Ziwei saw that everyone was okay for the time being, she still had to prepare food and food, food was not enough, the food allocated by the county could only last this morning, and she still had to go to the horse to find food.

But who else is willing to donate food, which makes Zhou Ziwei very annoyed, but there are still so many victims waiting here, Zhou Ziwei knows that even if it is difficult, she has to find a way to do it.

However, Zhou Ziwei tossed for nearly a morning, after all, she only raised less than six loads of food, Zhou Ziwei wrinkled her brows, if it goes on like this, not to mention that the people outside the city gate can't survive, even the victims in the city will starve to death.

"Ripples, you might as well go to the house to get some silver, go to the rice warehouse to buy grain, as much as you want, as long as you can solve some urgent needs, that's not bad."

Zhou Ziwei's voice was low and weak, and then look at her face, it was pale and bloodless, Zhou Ziwei was focused on this matter for the past two days, she didn't sleep all night, she collected some old clothes in the house, and now she looks at the whole person in a bad state.

Ripple put down the spoon in his hand, his eyes were full of embarrassment, and he sighed and said, "Young master, you don't know, the silver that can be raised by the house, the slaves and maids have already put it forward, over the years, the Zhou family has fallen into the middle of the road, and the silver has already been used to deal with all kinds of troubles, and there is not much left, and now there is no rice to sell in the rice warehouse, most of it has been bought back and stored by the people, everyone is afraid of the closure of the city, and the rice warehouse will not be able to transport rice in, so as to prepare for this winter." ”

Zhou Ziwei's hands clenched slightly, her eyes suddenly flashed a little guilt, Zhou Ziwei immediately shook off the emotions in her mind, what should I do now? The grain allocated by the imperial court has been delayed, perhaps because the snow is now blocking the road, the food cannot be delivered for a while, and the magistrate has sent someone to clean it up, and the snow on the pipeline can be cleared in two or three days at most.

"Is there no rice left in the rice barn?" Zhou Ziwei looked at the ripples, a glimmer of hope in her heart had been shattered, Zhou Ziwei once felt that even at the last moment, she still had a way.
