Shen Mingyuan wondered why she appeared in Kaifeng: "Aren't you recuperating?" How did you get here? Wei Yangyang said with a smile: "The ancestral home of our Wei family is Kaifeng Mansion, but I have never come back to see it." Moreover, my sixth brother was ordered to bring the Weijia army to Kaifeng Mansion to quell the chaos, for fear that some mobs would take advantage of the chaos to grab things, and my injuries were almost healed, so he begged him to take me over to have a look. I've been here for four days to help with soup kitchens. ”

She arrived earlier than herself, and Shen Mingyuan was a little surprised: "Four days? So where do you live? Wei Yangyang replied casually: "I live in the camp, of course I live with the Wei family." "She lived in a tent in Hercynian and ate and lived with the soldiers, so there was no problem. But now that she has come to Huadu, she is Miss Weifu, and if she lives in the barracks, it will be very inappropriate, and Shen Mingyuan disagreed: "That's too inconvenient, I live in Kaifeng Mansion, you come and live with me." ”

Wei Yangyang thought for a while: "Huh? Not okay? The mansion is for His Highness, will others think that His Highness's public weapons are for private use? Shen Mingyuan thought it was inappropriate to think about it, but what he thought was inappropriate was to let a girl live with him, the prince, for fear of attracting criticism. But what Wei Yangyang thinks is inappropriate, it is for public and private use, obviously, she has no defense against men and women. In this way, it seems that I am a little dirty in my heart. He hurriedly coughed to hide his embarrassment: "Ahem, it's not good." But you can't live in a tent, so I'll order another yard for you." Wei Yangyang hurriedly agreed: "Now that the disaster has occurred, you can have any yard, you can do it without a maid, I will tidy it up myself." ”

Shen Mingyuan looked at her with some relief: "Luang, your idiom is getting better and better, you can use any splendid country and public utensils for private use." Seeing him praise himself, Wei Yangyang was also very happy: "Of course, I have memorized what His Highness taught me." I can remember the short ones, but I can't remember the long ones. Shen Mingyuan encouraged her: "Some idioms are really too difficult, you know the meaning first, and you will use them a few more times." ”

He placed Wei Yangyang in a separate courtyard of the Kaifeng prefect, which was the place where the prefect's mother worshiped the Buddha during her lifetime, and it was very clean. Now that the old man has passed away, only one mother-in-law is guarding and is responsible for cleaning the courtyard. Wei Yangyang still went to the porridge shed every day to help, knowing that he was responsible for supervising the construction of the embankment, and did not take the initiative to come to him.

This night, the flood came again, even more violently than the last time. When Shen Mingyuan was woken up in the middle of the night, he thought that he lived in a high place, but Wei Yangyang lived in a low-lying place, and he was very worried. He wanted to go to the courtyard to have a look, but Ling Quan hugged him tightly: "Your Highness, the slave is guilty of capital crimes, you can't make the slightest mistake." He also knew that if he risked his life for a woman and his father knew about it, he would definitely execute Wei Yangyang, saying that she was a fox and a fool. But he couldn't sleep again, and was so anxious that he walked around the yard, waiting for news.

When it was ugly, Wei Yangyang was sleeping, and the flood was howling. By the time she was woken up by Mrs. Qin, the water had already flooded the yard and was about to enter the house. She grew up in the desert and had no experience in dealing with floods, but she knew the truth that water should flow lower, and hurriedly said, "We have to run higher." Mrs. Qin is a native of Kaifeng and is very familiar with the road: "Miss, the city god temple is the high place." ”

Wei Yangyang listened, and went back to the house in three steps and two steps to pick up the knife: "Then go quickly!" Mrs. Qin was reluctant to give up her own things: "Wait until I go back to the house to pack a few clothes." Wei Yangyang pulled her over: "What clothes are you packing, your life is gone." With that, he dragged her out of the courtyard. But it was too late, and a flood rushed in, slammed open the gates, and swept both men down.

Wei Yangyang reluctantly scooped up Qin Pozi and hugged the tree in the yard desperately. The two of them were in the middle of the flood, like a duckweed, dangling from the wash. Qin Pozi's physical strength gradually weakened, and her voice lowered: "Miss Wei, I, I'm going to let go." Wei Yangyang was so anxious that he shouted: "I can't let go, this flood is coming and going." When it stops, we can climb the tree first and then make plans. ”

When the flood waters were a little lower, she skillfully drew her silver bell whip from her waist and wrapped it around the tree. The shell of the silver bell was made of stainless steel to look like scales, each with small serrations, just enough to fit into the bark of the tree, tightly entangling Qin Pozi and her. Now she can rest her hands free: "It saves some energy." Mrs. Qin was just an old woman guarding the yard, but fortunately she picked up her life when she met her, and she desperately thanked her: "Miss Wei, thank you." ”

Wei Yangyang was afraid that she would be afraid, so he chatted with her: "Anyway, we won't be able to go down for a while, we can talk, so time will pass faster." Why do you live alone in this yard? Mrs. Qin sighed: "My man died, my daughter-in-law kicked me out, and I had no relatives to run to, so I went to the prefect's house to work as a helper." No one wants to come here, and I don't ask for money, I just want a place to live, and I can eat for food, so I live here and work as a handyman. ”

Wei Yangyang was a little strange: "Then you can go to the prefect to sue your son, if he doesn't respect the old man, he should be put in prison." Seeing her say this, Mrs. Qin tried her best to excuse her son: "It's not about my son, it's my daughter-in-law's help." Wei Yangyang was even more strange: "Your daughter-in-law is sloppy, and you have to agree with your son." If he refuses, will your daughter-in-law dare to drive you away? In the final analysis, it is not that the son is not filial, so he should sue him. Don't worry, when I see the prefect tomorrow, I will come and tell him that I will beat your son with twenty sticks. ”

Mrs. Qin knew that Wei Yangyang, who lived in the other courtyard, was a distinguished guest, and the prefect would definitely listen to her, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly pleaded: "Miss Wei, you can't do it, our old Qin family has just this one son, wouldn't twenty sticks kill him?" Please, don't tell the prefect, you can tell my wife to repay you as much as you want. Her son treated her like this, and she interceded for him, just like the wife who lifted people a few days ago.

Wei Yang was so angry that she told her about the quarrel with Juren that day, and scolded as she spoke: "How can it be like this, the more you are like this, the more they dare to bully you." Mrs. Qin was very helpless: "Miss Wei, that lady who lifts people depends on him for food, naturally she doesn't want him to lose her fame, and she doesn't want him to die." If the father, husband, and son die, and the mother's family has no brother to support her, the woman will be bullied to death. Of course, we hope that the men in the family will be well, and someone will support the family store, so that the family will not collapse. ”

Wei Yangyang thought that what she said made some sense, and thought that because of the many brothers and unity in his family, this could support the century-old foundation of the Wei family. But she thought about it, and felt that something was wrong, so no matter what, she couldn't starve a woman to death, right?

Another hour passed, and the flood slowly receded. Wei Yangyang put away the silver bell and jumped off the tree first: "We can go now and go to the City God Temple." After that, she walked forward with Mrs. Qin, dripping water. On the way, they met the trapped victims, and they walked together. Most of the middle-aged men in the city participated in the forced labor to repair the embankment, so the people she met were almost all old and weak, women and children. When he reached the top slope, Wei Yangyang took three steps and two steps, climbed up first, and then pulled Qin Pozi up. But there are too many women and children following behind, and if she pulls them up one by one, sooner or later she will use her strength.

She went around to see if she could find a board to spread in the water and let people step on it, and then it would be easier. She looked around and saw that the door of the temple was thick and large, so she did not hesitate to draw her sword and cut the door shaft. Everyone shouted in fright, "Girl, no." angered the lord of the city god, but he will be punished. Wei Yangyang didn't care at all, and said while chopping: "For the benefit of the official for one term, he is the city god, so he should protect the people of Kaifeng Mansion." Now cut down the door panel to save people, isn't it the duty of Lord Chenghuang? ”

Mrs. Qin was frightened and held her hand tightly: "Miss Wei, it's really not good." Wei Yangyang thought she was delaying: "Oh, don't worry." If he comes to take revenge, I cut it down, so let him come to me. My father is Lord Yama, I want to see who is more powerful, this Lord Chenghuang or Lord Yama, hahaha. When everyone saw her talking nonsense, they were afraid that she was crazy. That Qin Pozi immediately knelt on the ground and began to kowtow, begging Lord Chenghuang not to be angry.

When Wei Yangyang was in Haixi, she once cut off the door panel of her room and burned the city gate, and she was simply familiar with this matter. She quickly chopped down the two door panels and pushed them into the floodwater. But the door panel was so heavy that she couldn't push it at all, so she called out to the person who had climbed up: "Don't just watch, but help." The people ignored her. She waved her knife and asked, "Will you help save people?" Anyway, I cut down the door, and I won't go back. ”

Those people looked at the knife in her hand, and then looked at the crazy words she said, and they all knew that she had a problem with her brain, for fear that she would really cut people. Hearing her say this, he immediately gathered around and began to push the door panel. The strength of the crowd was great, and the crowd quickly pushed both door panels into the water, and the people trapped in the water were able to step on the door panels and come up.

At noon, when the household department sent people to the Chenghuang Temple to give porridge, everyone was afraid that she would go crazy, so they served her the thickest bowl first. She saw that she drank it thickly, while everyone else was very thin. A woman next to her fished out the rice from the porridge and gave it to the child to eat, drinking only the porridge water herself. When the woman saw her staring at her, she cautiously asked her, "Miss, you, you are not married yet, are you?" Wei Yangyang didn't understand why she asked: "Yes." The woman asked, "You don't have a sweetheart, do you?" Wei Yangyang was surprised: "How do you know?" ”

The woman snickered: "Miss looks like she is not married, but you have such a good heart, there will always be people who like you." She said something weird, and Wei Yangyang was confused. But she didn't bother to think about the reason, and asked the other party directly: "You don't have to play dumb riddles, do you want to say that I can't get married?" When the woman saw that she was fierce, she hurriedly denied it: "No, no, no, you can definitely get married." ”

Wei Yangyang snorted: "Don't be afraid, my father says every day that I can't get married." I'm used to it. The woman had been rescued by her in the morning, knowing that although she was carrying a knife, she had no ill intent. Hearing her laugh at herself like this, he comforted her: "The brine points to the tofu, and one thing drops one thing." Perhaps, there are boys who like you to be so straightforward. However, no matter who you marry in the future, your mother-in-law will not dare to bully you. The people around her laughed when they heard her say this.
