The ancestral house of the Ye family, located in the inner city of the capital, not far from the imperial city, is said to have been given by the first emperor back then.

Master Yuan Hui followed the little maid and maid who led the way, and glanced at the broken green bricks under the mottled vermilion railing, and there were still oily green weeds with unknown small flowers growing in the cracks of the green bricks.

Although it is dilapidated and declining, it has not lost its vitality, which is the current situation of the Ye family.

Master Yuan Hui raised his eyes, and Ye Lang and Su Shi had already greeted him in front of him, and behind them was Ye Chanyan, who pursed his lips and said nothing, and behind Ye Chanyan was Ye Qiong.

In Master Yuanhui's eyes, the weeds that broke through the cracks in the stone and grew vigorously coincided with Ye Qiong's face, Ye Qiong seemed to sense that Master Yuanhui was looking at her, smiled at him, and stretched out her hand to make a Buddhist salute.

A smile also appeared in Master Yuanhui's eyes, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed a lot. His smile made Ye Lang, Su Shi and Ye Chanyan all confused, but they saw that Master Yuanhui first performed a Buddhist salute to them, and then went straight past them, returned a Buddhist salute to Ye Qiong, and said: "Second Miss Ye, it has been a few months since I saw Daxiangguo Temple. Lao Wei was also deeply relieved to see that the resentment between Miss Ye's eyebrows had dissipated a lot. ”

Ye Qiong's heart moved.

The resentment in his body was brought from his previous life, and the master found out, but he didn't expect Master Yuanhui to see his two sides, and he found the clue, is this a monk?

Master Yuanhui seemed to be able to hear Ye Qiong's heart, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Zou Shuangrui is my junior brother, and Ye Er Girl doesn't know about this yet." It stands to reason that you should call me uncle. ”

Surprise flashed in Ye Qiong's eyes, and Ye Chanyan's face on the side was even more ugly.

Everyone in the world knows that Zou Shuangrui is a great Confucian, and Master Yuan Hui is a senior monk, but I didn't expect that these two people are still brothers, Ye Qiong really worshiped a good master, how could she be so lucky!

Ye Qiong was full of surprises.

After she worshipped Master as her teacher that day, she always felt that Master sometimes glared at Zhang Jingzhi angrily, which was very familiar, but now that Master Yuanhui is here, she remembered why.

The way the master stared at Zhang Jingzhi was exactly the same as when she set up a game in the Buddhist temple and was stared at by Master Yuanhui, but she didn't expect that Master and Master Yuanhui still had such a relationship.

Ye Qiong reacted, smiled and saluted according to the seniors: "I've seen Uncle Yuanhui, I don't know why Uncle Yuanhui is here?" ”

Yuan Hui sat down with a smile, and first took a sip of the Lu'an melon slices that Ye Qiong specially asked people to serve, and then said: "The news that the Ye family has set up a shed to give porridge outside Yongding Gate has spread all over the capital. Some people say it's good, some people say it's bad, can Miss Ye know who says it's good, and who is it's who says it's bad? ”

Ye Qiong didn't think about it, so she replied directly: "Okay, naturally, there are people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and Jingzhao Yin Mansion, who set up porridge sheds to appease many homeless people, and their work is a lot easier, so don't worry about the homeless people making trouble." In addition, there are some low-level ordinary people and those who still have good intentions, they have compassion, and when they see that the homeless people are doing well, they naturally agree with this matter. As for the bad ones, it is probably those big families in Beijing, the Ye family set up a porridge shed, and they really wanted to do good deeds out of kindness, which was undoubtedly a slap in their face, after all, in previous years, there was no shortage of porridge sheds in the capital. The last time the porridge was given to the family of the servant Lang Wen, I heard that it was porridge for more than ten days, but I did not see that the homeless people in the city died of cold and starvation. ”

Yuan Hui sighed and said, "Miss Ye Er is a smart person, she is a lone tree in the forest, and she will destroy it, you know it, why are you still willing to do it?" ”

Ye Qiong chuckled, her expression was still calm and fearless, and she said firmly: "It's just a good deed, don't ask about the future." ”

"If you want to do good deeds, you can do good deeds yourself, do you want to drag the entire Ye family into the water with you?" Ye Chanyan couldn't help but say. When he came, he only heard about the Ye family and the Yun family jointly setting up a porridge shed, and he didn't expect that this matter might slap the faces of the families in the capital, and when he heard Master Yuanhui say it, he couldn't help but stop it.

"Second Master Ye, don't be excited, that's why I'm here." Master Yuan Hui said with a smile, and Ye Chanyan, who was about to get angry, was like a cannon that had been splashed with cold water, and he was instantly dumbfounded.

Ye Qiong smiled slightly, and said in her heart that it was really so.

Ye Qiong naturally understands the truth that the lone tree shows off in the forest, and this is also one of the reasons why she pulled the Yun family into the gang.

In the capital, there are actually no shortage of good people, such as Cui Li, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who had dealt with him before, such as her master Zou Shuangrui, as well as Ye Qiong's future brother-in-law Du Siheng, and even the newly appointed scholar Jiang Lian of the Hanlin Academy......

The most important thing is that today's Shengshang Shunhe Emperor is a rare emperor who loves the people like a son.

Up and down, even if the people below are unwilling, they will not openly say that the Ye family's setting up a porridge shed is a bad thing. Therefore, as soon as the reputation of the Ye family's porridge shed is launched, there will naturally be people who are willing to take the initiative to join the gang, or simply set up a porridge shed to fight with the Ye family. It's just that Ye Qiong didn't expect that the first person to extend an olive branch to himself would be Daxiangguo Temple.

Master Yuan Hui slowly explained: "The matter that is already overcrowded in the Jingzhong Shan Hall, I think everyone is already clear. In fact, not only Shantang, but also large and small temples and Taoist temples in the capital have also taken in many displaced people. The Great Xiangguo Temple has already taken in hundreds of displaced people, although the Great Xiangguo Temple has surplus food, it is a drop in the bucket for the resettlement of these hundreds of displaced people. The incense of Daxiangguo Temple is vigorous, and there is naturally no shortage of money, but now the flood is often severe, and the grain shops inside and outside the capital are sold out, even if there is money, there is nowhere to buy grain. I heard that the Ye family set up a shed to give porridge, so I wanted to cooperate with the Ye family on behalf of the Daxiangguo Temple, and asked the Ye family to set up the porridge shed in the Daxiangguo Temple. ”

Master Yuanhui said sincerely, Ye Lang and Ye Qiong immediately agreed, Ye Qiong thought about it, and said: "Uncle, the porridge shed here in Yongdingmen cannot be withdrawn. The displaced people have already identified this place today, and if they don't see it the next day, they will naturally be disappointed. In this way, we will divide half of the manpower and food over there in Daxiangguo Temple, and we will ask the masters of Daxiangguo Temple to help a lot. ”

Master Yuan Hui's eyes flashed with admiration.

can really think of the situation of the two parties to deal with and adjust, this apprentice of the junior brother is really careful.

Master Yuan Hui bowed his head and said, "I also know that although the Ye family has hoarded grain, it is necessary to settle so many displaced people, even more grain is not enough. I have already given His Majesty an excerpt before, and said that several other families have jointly signed a performance, and there will be some time for the excerpt to be approved and the household will allocate grain, as long as it survives this time, everything will be easy to say. ”

Ye Qiong nodded, but her heart did not become relaxed because of what Master Yuan Hui said.

Master Yuan Hui has a temporary position in the Sanglu Division, and he can play the fold until the heavens, as long as His Majesty sees the excerpt, he will know what the problem of the displaced people in the capital has reached.

But Ye Qiong was afraid that there would not be enough time.

The autumn flood is approaching, and it will be an even greater disaster, and I am afraid that there will be victims everywhere inside and outside the capital, and the food allocated by the household department is very likely to be insufficient.

God let her Ye Qiong be reborn in a lifetime, the disaster of the autumn flood is imminent, should she do something, and what can she do?

Master Yuan Hui looked at Ye Qiong, smiled wisely, and took a Buddhist salute and left.

Ye Chanyan snorted coldly and said, "With Master Yuanhui's help, I don't want you to remove this porridge shed." In that case, do this great good deed. Be careful, there is only one word between the words "great good" and "hypocrisy". ”

Ye Qiong sneered: "Great goodness or hypocrisy, the people have their own rulers in their hearts, and they don't care about it." ”

Ye Chanyan snorted coldly and walked out of the Ye family's ancestral mansion.

Ye Qiong watched Ye Chanyan's back disappear from sight.

As a person from the second uncle, he will definitely work in the porridge shed, so it is better to let the people who manage the porridge shed pay more attention.

……………………

In an alley not far from Yongding Gate, an old woman is walking in the alley with her two children.

This old woman was the first homeless person to be entertained by the Ye family's porridge shed a few days ago, compared to the downfall a few days ago, this old woman's complexion was obviously much better, and the cheeks of her two grandchildren even had faint flesh.

The old woman was holding two wooden bowls with lids in her hands, and the bowls were still given by the Ye family's porridge shed, as long as they were returned on the same day. The old woman did not like to eat in crowded places, so she dragged her two children into the alley. The alley was usually filled with homeless beggars, but now everyone else had gone to get the porridge, except for the old woman and her two children.

One of the younger children looked at the bowl in the old woman's hand and couldn't help but cry out, "Grandmother, can you start eating, I can't wait." ”

The old woman smiled and led the two children to sit on the haystack they had gathered, took two small bowls that had broken the corners and began to divide the porridge. As soon as the lid was removed, the aroma of meat and rice came out, causing the old woman and the two children to swallow in unison.

The old woman divided the bowl into two bowls and handed them to the two children, but the two children withdrew their hands and did not take them, and looked together in a panic at a certain place behind the old woman.

The old woman turned around slowly, and before she could react, the bowl in her hand was kicked over, the rice porridge was scattered on the ground, and the wooden bowl rolled on the ground a few times, and was picked up from the ground by a person, and sniffed with disgust.

A few of the people who came were notorious gangsters in the neighborhood, who loved to bully beggars and homeless people, and were looking at the old woman with a smile at the moment, and said, "Ouch, you dare to drink the porridge of this rich and noble family, and you are not afraid of eating it and eating it and rotting your stomach!" ”

When the younger child heard this, he couldn't help but speak for the Ye family: "That family is different, their porridge is fragrant, and there are meat and vegetables in it, and you can eat a bowl to fill the day!" ”

The leading thug's face changed, and he raised his foot and was about to kick it over, but the old woman saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly rushed forward to hold the thug's feet, and shouted at the two children: "Run, run!" ”

The two children were stupid, and the gangster had already raised his foot and kicked the old woman's chest, kicking the old woman out of pain, and the gangster was not satisfied, and said, "Who asked you to say good things for the Ye family?" Let me tell you the truth, it's the people of the Ye family who can't get used to seeing you eating rice, so they asked me to come and beat you, haha! ”

The two children's eyes widened, and the thug was about to kick again, but suddenly someone grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him backwards, and threw him hard against the wall of the alley.

The person who came was Ye Cizhu's friend Zhu Wuye.

The other gangsters saw that it was Zhu Wuye, the head snake in the capital, and they were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy: "Five, the fifth master ......"

Zhu Wuye ignored them, first squatted down to check the old woman's injury, called the two subordinates beside him, and ordered: "You two, take this eldest lady to Dr. Sun Wei's hospital first." ”

The two subordinates hurriedly said yes, and they were about to lift the person to leave, but a child pulled his sleeve, and the two children asked with teary eyes: "I, is there something wrong with my grandmother?" You're the one sent by the Ye family, aren't you? ”

Zhu Wuye has also been in the market, knowing that these two children are not easy, his originally cold expression has eased a lot, and he said softly: "I have seen it, your grandmother's injury is fine." I was sent by the fifth master of the Ye family to guard the stall, but I didn't expect that someone would really make trouble in the name of the Ye family, you can rest assured, the Ye family will give you an explanation for this matter. ”

The two children nodded ignorantly, and Zhu Wuye gave another order, and asked the two children to follow them to the hospital to visit their grandmother.

In the alley, only the people brought by Zhu Wuye and those gangsters were left, and one of the gangsters fell to the ground screaming, Zhu Wuye stepped on it again and reprimanded: "You also have fathers and mothers, how can you be embarrassed to attack that aunt, something that loses your conscience!" ”

A few thugs trembled like chaff, and hurriedly shouted: "Yes, it was the people from the second room of the Ye family who found us, and the person who came was the housekeeper of the second room of the Ye family named Jiang Yi, although he was dressed in disguise, but his voice did not change, we can recognize it." ”

Zhu Wuye frowned, but still ordered his subordinates: "Since you said the mastermind, let's just waste your right hand." ”

The subordinates said yes, Zhu Wuye walked out of the alley and said a few words to Ye Xizhu, who was left behind in the porridge shed, completely ignoring the ghost crying wolf howling in the alley.

On the other side, at Xinghuaye's house, Ye Qiong got the news from Ye Xizhu not long after.

The cuckoo who received the news said: "The fifth master said, please rest assured, the fifth master of the capital's local snake Zhu is the fifth master's best friend, if the second master insists on competing in this, the fifth master will let him know who is the boss of the well in the capital." ”

Ye Qiong sneered: "It's like what the fifth uncle would say." ”

The cuckoo said, "In addition, Aunt Egret also caught several people who wanted to put filth in the porridge shed, and handed them over to Deputy Commander Xiong." There is no news about the porridge shed over there in Daxiangguo Temple. ”

"There is Master Yuanhui watching in Daxiangguo Temple, and now there are several families that have also set up porridge sheds, and it is not good for the second uncle to start there. With this lesson, I think the second uncle will also stop for a while. Ye Qiong said, and drew a circle on the map in his hand with a vermilion-stained pen.

"Girl, will this place be flooded too?" The cuckoo asked curiously.

Ye Qiong nodded, and her tone was a little decadent: "Yes." It's a pity that I don't know much about geography, otherwise I wouldn't have circled only three places until now. ”

Ye Qiong looked at the map on the table and sighed.

She remembered what she had to do, and with the memories of her past life, she was able to find the places that were about to be flooded in advance, and persuaded the people of those places to move out as soon as possible and save lives.

But when she really faced the map, Ye Qiong was dumbfounded again.

There are hundreds of miles in size inside and outside the Daliang capital, and it is too difficult for her to filter them everywhere according to vague memories.

Perhaps, it was time for her to find a foreign helper.
