Chapter 457: Hundred Grass Hall
After that morning, Yun Xiaoshuang obviously felt that Zhao Mocheng had stayed in the study for a longer time every day.
The method of resettlement of the people at the border pass was handed over to him by the emperor. The five-day period will yield results.
Finally, she had some leisure time, but Zhao Mocheng was entangled in political affairs again, and she didn't even come out for lunch today.
Yun Xiaoshuang wanted to go and have a look after lunch, but it happened that someone came to pass it on, saying that there were some things in the medicine house that she needed to go over to take a look. Thinking that Xu is new medicine was successfully developed, she was called to take a look, and it didn't take a while to go back and forth, so she left for the pharmacy after lunch.
"Nobleman, okay, let's enjoy the food, noble ......"
The carriage stopped halfway through, and Yun Xiaoshuang sat in the car, only to hear a group of people shouting outside the car.
"What's going on?"
"Madam, it was the beggars who fled from the border pass who blocked the way, and the minions went to pull them away." The coachman replied through the curtain.
Yun Xiaoshuang picked up the curtain of the car window, and saw a group of old and young people crawling around the carriage, constantly begging for some alms, and their pious appearance was even more than that of pilgrims who climbed the mountain to worship the Buddha.
Seeing Yun Xiaoshuang picking up the curtain and watching, the coachman who had finally cleared the way turned around and asked: "Madam, now there are beggars like this in the capital, and they are all squatting on the avenue to stop the carriages of some noble and wealthy merchants, let's take the path to bypass them." ”
"Is it that serious?" Yun Xiaoshuang couldn't help frowning.
Thinking of the documents she read in Zhao Mocheng's study that day - the border was turbulent, and the people were displaced so they poured into the capital to seek refuge.
Voices of the Closed City......
Yun Xiaoshuang withdrew her hand and hid the people who were still wailing and begging outside the carriage.
"U-turn, let's get out of town."
……
"Stop!"
Before Yun Xiaoshuang's carriage approached the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city had already stepped forward and shouted, "What are you doing?" ”
"Presumptuous!" The coachman pulled down a token from his waist, "It's Mrs. Xiaoyao in the car, don't let it go quickly!" ”
The soldier approached and took a closer look, and hurriedly nodded his head to apologize, but the person still stood in front of the carriage without moving.
Seeing this, the coachman waved his hand and urged: "Okay, okay, Madame has something important to go out of the city, open the city gate quickly." ”
"This ......" the soldiers defending the city looked at each other, their faces embarrassed, "in recent days, there are refugees in exile outside the city gates, those people are rude and arrogant, if you hurt your wife, it is better for your wife not to go out of the city." ”
"Yes, how can this important matter be compared to the safety of Madame." Another soldier also spoke with a smile on his face.
"As far as I know, the emperor has not yet decreed the closure of the city gate, and you have closed the city without authorization, aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you?!" Yun Xiaoshuang lifted the curtain and dismounted, and asked in a deep voice with a solemn face.
They guard the city gate all day long, and the ladies of the family have seen a lot of comings and goings, but it is really the first time to see such an imposing person as Yun Xiaoshuang.
For a while, the soldiers were speechless when questioned, and could only freeze in place.
"Whose orders did you take to close the gates?" Yun Xiaoshuang's cold eyes swept away, and the soldiers were in a cold sweat.
"There are so many refugees pouring into the capital that if we don't close the city gate temporarily, I'm afraid it will be ...... I'm afraid that the capital is also going to be turbulent. One of the soldiers raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied.
The soldiers defending the city naturally knew that Xiaoyao Hou was now starting refugee matters, and his wife was not here for another purpose, so seeing Yun Xiaoshuang's suspicious eyes, he hurriedly added: "If Madame doesn't believe it, you can go up to the city tower and take a look." ”
Under the city tower, the loess flies in the sand.
The crowd of people who were black and oppressive, sitting or lying down in the bright sun, gathered under the city wall, whimpering cries and feeble wails continued to faintly come, and those who listened felt chills down their spines.
"What's that?" Yun Xiaoshuang pointed to a large sand pit not far away, where there seemed to be many people lying in it.
The soldiers who accompanied him glanced in the direction Yun Xiaoshuang pointed and explained, "That's the corpse pit they dug. ”
A simple sentence, without too much explanation, made Yun Xiaoshuang see the indifference of everyone to life in the face of danger. Maybe they're not really indifferent, they're just just powerless......
When the carriage passed through the lively streets and alleys of the capital again, Yun Xiaoshuang's state of mind was indescribable-
The city is prosperous, and the bones outside the city are slaughtered.
……
As soon as Yun Xiaoshuangfu left the house, someone came to report to Zhao Mocheng. Knowing that her new medicine was about to be completed, he also lingered with her in the medicine house all day long.
After walking for most of the day, seeing that the twilight was dreary, someone came to report that she was sullen when she came back today, and he still had a lot of political essentials in his hands and lost his mind, so he looked for time to come and have a look.
As soon as Zhao Mocheng entered the door, he saw Yun Xiaoshuang sitting in front of the dressing table, and he didn't even notice that he was standing behind her for a long time.
It's just that she was worried about something wrong with the new medicine she developed, and stepped forward to wrap her waist, Zhao Mocheng leaned down and leaned close to her cheek: "Why have you been in the medicine house for so long?" ”
"Why are you here?" Startled by the sudden warmth, Yun Xiaoshuang retracted her thoughts, "Is there an eyebrow about the people at the border?" ”
Hearing the thick worry in her words, Zhao Mocheng took a strand of green silk around her fingertips: "What's wrong?" Where did you go today? ”
"South Gate."
Zhao Mocheng's hand around her waist tightened: "You saw it all?" ”
"The prime of life and women can still find a long-term job in the capital with their own strength, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled can only beg for a living, and the scene outside the city is even more miserable." Resting his head on her shoulder, Zhao Mocheng listened to her eloquently.
"The people poured into the capital because the capital was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so they all came to seek refuge, as long as the people knew that the court had arrangements for them, they would definitely not stay in the capital." Yun Xiaoshuang tugged at his own hair in his hand, but he couldn't pull it, so he played with him.
"Madame Bingxue is smart, but she has an idea?"
"I think it's just a matter of diversion right now." Yun Xiaoshuang pondered for a moment and said seriously, "The capital has now taken in many people, and the rest will be contained by the various state capitals, and the whole will be reduced to zero, and the urgent need will be solved first. ”
"That's a good idea." Zhao Mocheng nodded.
Unexpectedly, Yun Xiaoshuang could come up with this method in just one day, Zhao Mocheng was shocked, and felt more and more that she was worried about his solemn appearance at this time--heartbeat.
There was no surprise or relief.
When Zhao Mocheng's kiss fell softly on her eyebrows with a blazing temperature, she reacted.
"You had this in mind?"
"It just so happens to coincide with Madame." Zhao Mocheng smiled lightly, and between his eyebrows, Fang Fei was second.
Thinking about this method, the emperor was also satisfied.
Because of the morning of the second day, before Zhao Mocheng returned to the house, the emperor's reward had been sent to the house.
Yun Xiaoshuang held a cup of tea, idly fiddling with a table of precious cloth, and cherished jade. Now that the rewards have come down, it must be that the affairs of the people at the border have been settled.
Counting the days when she finally got to stay in the house, it is only now that she really has the feeling of "stealing half a day of leisure".
However, it is really only half a day.
Zhao Mocheng played the method of evacuation, and the follow-up matters naturally came into his hands. At noon, he was in the study to deal with government affairs, and Yun Xiaoshuang was leaning on the soft floor next to him to read.
The breeze pours in from the half-open carved window lattices, accompanied by the fragrance of newly blooming magnolia flowers outside the courtyard.
It's a good night's sleep.
Yun Xiaoshuang was sleepy with her head in one hand, and the book in her hand had already slipped on the couch, and she was suddenly disturbed by the sound of footsteps wandering outside the door, startling the sleeping insects.
"Come in and talk." Zhao Mocheng didn't look up, but only opened his mouth while Yun Xiaoshuang picked up the book again.
"Master Hou, madam." The subordinate greeted respectfully, and handed a note to the small table in Yun Xiaoshuang's hand, "Madam, the things you asked people to arrange secretly have been done." ”
"yes, got it." Glancing over the note on the small table, Yun Xiaoshuang said lazily.
The subordinate wanted to ask if there were any other instructions, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of his own marquis who raised his head from the document at some point and was looking at him coldly.
"Small, small retirement." made him shudder, and hurriedly exited the study.
Zhao Mocheng continued to bury his head in the bookcase, as if he didn't care about the episode just now.
Yun Xiaoshuang watched him for a long time, and saw that he was calm and relaxed, so she continued to read the book by herself.
After a moment, Zhao Mocheng finally let go of the Chinese book: "What is Madam secretly arranging?" ”
"I'm still in charge of your day, and I don't care about such trivial things." Yun Xiaoshuang pretended to be surprised and quipped.
Seeing that Zhao Mocheng's eyes narrowed slightly, he was full of ten percent dangerous information.
Yun Xiaoshuang put away her quipping thoughts and straightened up: "I planned to build a medical center early in the morning, but some time ago, the medicine store had just started, so this matter was shelved. ”
"On the street that day, I saw the people who had been exiled to the capital, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, who could only live by begging." Speaking of this, Yun Xiaoshuang paused, and seeing that Zhao Mocheng was thoughtful, he continued, "Thinking that these people will have to have a place to go after the diversion, they stepped up the purchase of the medical hall." ”
"In this way, the follow-up matters of the border people who stay in the capital and have no place to return are arranged by Mrs. Benefactor." Zhao Mocheng raised his eyebrows and said lightly.
Yun Xiaoshuang's eyebrows bent slightly: "But it saves you a lot of trouble." ”
"Madame is so worried, it seems that the ability to be a husband can only be reflected in Madame." Zhao Mocheng seemed to be smiling, looking at her eyes burning like a torch, as if there was a lingering warmth, and she wanted to feel it from a distance of several meters.
……
Within a few days, the medical hall opened in a prosperous area in Beijing, and Yun Xiaoshuang was too lazy to bring forth the new in the name, so she directly called Baicaotang.
In the name of his grandfather Lin Jiyuan, he practiced medicine for free and helped the world.
Such a good deed made all the people feel happy and rejoicing.
Although Baicaotang was newly built, its reputation spread by word of mouth in just a few months.
