Different from Chang'an officials and nobles living in Dongcheng, Jinyang City because Jinyang Palace is located on the west bank of the Fen River, so Xicheng is the place where the prominent wealthy families live, He Ye and Shi Niang want to benefit the poor, they must pass through the middle city built across the river, to the east bank of the Fen River, this is a not short distance, so when to the east of the city Jingpingfang, faintly hear the ugly sound has sounded.

Although His Royal Highness the King of Jin and the princess were new to Jinyang, they didn't know much about the details of Jinyang City, but before the two of them left, they had already asked from the spies who had been planted in Jinyang first to find out that in Jingpingfang, Dongcheng, the most poor people lived together, and they chose this place as a place of beneficence.

What Shi Niang doesn't understand is why His Royal Highness King Jin dismounted here? Eleven Niang looked around and made sure she didn't see the door.

"Earlier, the spies said that Jingpingfang is a huge fang market because of the poor settlement, there is no stall to operate a liquor restaurant, after the curfew falls into the night, the residents of the fang will not go out to wander, even the lamps and candles are rarely lit, Chinese New Year's Eve is no exception, at this time it is already late at night, most of the residents in the fang have already fallen asleep, if we knock on the door at this time, alarm the guards, it is difficult to guarantee that such a strange thing will not reach Mao Wei's ears, it is not my stubborn prince to give to the poor, in order to avoid trouble, it is better not to alarm the guards."

To put it simply, it is not uncommon for the King of Jin to travel after nightfall, because there are wine shops and song shops in many markets in Xicheng and Zhongcheng, which can be used by the children of aristocratic and rich families to play, but there is no such leisure and entertainment place in Jingpingfang, why did the King of Jin visit when everything is silent? This kind of thing is really weird.

But Eleven Niang looked up at the wall that looked like it was not as tall as a cloud, but she couldn't climb over it, and sighed: "Although Your Highness is reasonable, but Forgive Eleven for being incompetent and not knowing the skill of flying eaves and walking walls." ”

He Ye suddenly realized, and touched his chin with one hand: "This is indeed my negligence, how can it be good?" Seemingly...... The princess could only wait outside the workshop. ”

Eleven Niang: ......

It is rare to see the resourceful princess look so annoyed, and the evil-hearted King Jin His Royal Highness clenched his fists and laughed again and again, but in the end he still didn't want to make the princess angry, so he first let the two entourages with money bags jump over the wall, and then waved at the princess: "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and get off the horse, the princess doesn't look much heavier than the money bag, and the king has no strength." ”

Apparently to "help" the princess to climb over the wall, the entourage consciously turned their backs.

Eleven Niang is not twisted, she is not willing to brave the cold wind to ride a short distance, but was stopped by a wall, Chinese New Year's Eve cold day travel, is it really to enjoy this black light blind official horse road?

So Luo Luo generously went to He Ye and stood in front of him, and said two words calmly: "There is labor." ”

Before the words fell, I felt that my body was light, my waist was tight, and my feet were off the ground.

He Ye didn't say much, reached out and took the two big money bags, hung them on his arms respectively, and told his entourage to wait outside the wall, and then raised his feet and left.

It is not better than passing through those fang markets along the way, you can also see the lanterns high, and you can vaguely hear the silk and bamboo singing, Jingping Fang, almost no different from the official horse road, the black lights are blind, and the sound of crying is only the sound of children waking up in the middle of the night and crying, coming from far away in the dark.

Walking on the not spacious road, Eleven Niang looked at both sides by moonlight, and found that the houses on the side of the road were all made of adobe, although they were also separated into courtyards, but many did not even have a courtyard door, only a gap was left to provide access, and the courtyard wall was also extremely low, only half a person high, some yards were planted with trees, and some were completely empty, this is a real slum, not to mention Eleven Niang, even He Ye had never been to before.

But the streets are still clean, there is no sewage flowing and the smell is unpleasant, so it doesn't look so bad.

He Ye and Eleven Niang didn't expect it, but because of the New Year's Day, although the people of Jingpingfang were struggling with poverty and had no ability to prepare gorgeous clothes and delicacies to celebrate the New Year, in order to make the New Year less miserable, every household still cleaned up.

He Ye was about to throw the packed happy money into the courtyard, but was stopped by Eleven Niang.

"We have limited preparations, and it is impossible to benefit the entire city, so let's go a little further and see if there are any more humble residences."

A few steps to a crossroads, turn to a curved lane, sure enough, you see that the dwellings here are even more cold, not even a yard, adobe houses are connected together, for ventilation, but there are windows, but of course not the aristocratic mansion pasted with mulberry paper or even silk carved windows, the windows of these houses are simple mullioned windows, perhaps in order to prevent the cold wind from pouring into the house, most of the windows are open in high places, but the eaves are very narrow, if it is a stormy weather, it can not block the rain at all.

He Ye wrung his brows, but witnessing such a desolate situation, he obviously didn't know what to say, so he could only throw the brocade bags containing coins from the window door to door, some did not react, but some were awakened, but they didn't light the lamp, it seemed that they had groped out the shape of the copper coin, and even the exclamation was extremely low, only His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who had a keen sense of hearing, captured the words of gratitude for kneeling and knocking on the gods and Buddhas.

The mood of giving to the poor was not as pleasant as imagined, but extremely heavy, so both of them were silent and did not speak.

The two big money bags were soon empty, and He Ye paused in his steps, his gloomy eyes looked into the depths of the seemingly bottomless quirk, and his expression was even a little annoyed.

Eleven Niang sighed softly: "This Chinese New Year's Eve, at least for the dozens of families in this article, there is still a surprise. ”

"This is the prosperous era of the Zhou Dynasty when all nations came to the dynasty, so many people who did not even feel joy on Chinese New Year's Eve, suddenly got a hundred dollars and it was worth crying with joy, what hope is there for them?" He Ye clenched his fists: "This is still in Jinyang City, I don't know how many people in the countryside can't even live on this adobe thatched roof." ”

It's not just a few poor families, but an entire market, which really makes people feel very depressed.

"Therefore, to implement the new policy, only by fundamentally changing can the people of cloth and clothing live and work in peace and contentment." Shi Niang really felt the weight of the burden on her shoulders, and at this moment she completely forgot her original purpose of doing all this, just to let the Pei Zheng and Zheng clans avenge their grievances.

The two of them were in no mood to linger any longer, turned back silently, and looked at the intersection again, but suddenly heard a sound of footsteps approaching, and saw the firelight illuminating the intersection, He Ye dragged Eleven Niang's arm, and in a hurry, he dodged and hid between the two adobe houses, but the wall was very narrow, barely allowing the two to stand facing each other, Eleven Niang was so nervous that she held her breath, but seemed to hear He Ye's rapid heartbeat, such an intimate distance, it happened in such a hurry, which made Eleven Niang quite unaccustomed.

"It should be the patrol of Wuhou." He Ye didn't notice the rather warm atmosphere, he listened intently for a while, and whispered softly in Eleven Niang's ear.

This intersection was not far from the wall, and Wuhou should soon turn back, so they had to take refuge in this crack in the wall for a while, and then they could go out after a while.

Eleven Niang quickly adapted to such an intimate distance between the two, but she soon heard a more sudden sound.

It turned out that she was leaning against this wall, and opened a mullioned window, which should be a couple's bedroom, the man's panting and the woman's moaning, in this silent night, so that the eleven mother standing under the window could hear clearly, she naturally understood what was going on in the house, Rao was always calm, and his cheeks were also "coaxed" to burn, and the heat even affected his ears.

Since even Eleven Niang is aware of it, His Royal Highness King Jin, whose ears are not many times more sensitive, is of course no exception, in the dark cracks of the wall, although he can't see Eleven Niang's expression clearly, he can actually feel the woman's sudden embarrassment, and for some reason the gloomy mood has improved a little, in order not to disturb the pair of mandarin ducks in the wall, He Ye finally held back a sullen smile, and covered Eleven Niang's ears with his hands very considerately, but the corners of his lips were raised high.

The princess's ears and temples were so hot, she must have blushed with shame, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin regretted that he couldn't watch the princess's expression at this time.

But his attention was soon drawn to a whisper in the mullioned window behind him.

Shi Niang only felt that she had stood in this embarrassing place for a long time, and it was easy to expect He Ye's palm to move away, and she turned around and walked out first.

She sighed quietly, expecting that the "alarm" had been lifted, so she naturally followed out, because of the residual embarrassment, she almost hit He Ye's back without paying attention.

"Can the princess wear jade pendants or gold and silver ornaments?" He Ye suddenly asked.

"How?"

"If so, borrow it temporarily." He Ye didn't say much.

Shi Niang simply untied the jade pendant on her waist neatly, and watched He Ye walk to the door of the house on the side of the road, knock on the door heavily, but quickly tied the jade pendant to the door knocker, and then pulled Shi Niang away quickly.

On the way back to the house, He Ye explained what he had just done.
