Chapter 90

The steamed buns were steaming, white smoke was rising from the heat, and the rice porridge in the pot became more and more fragrant.Hungry people had already surrounded them, if not for the people from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing blocking them, they would have rushed over to snatch it.

Liu Yunxiang turned his head and saw that the Hou's family was hiding in the shed eating steamed buns, grabbing one with each hand, looking extremely hungry, more embarrassed than the common people outside.

The second young master still had some tolerance, turned around and came back, sighing heavily.

"I don't want the disaster in the capital to be so serious."

Liu Yunxiang didn't answer this question, and stayed in the study all day long, not caring about family affairs, not knowing about world affairs, and being a civil servant in the future is just a matter of talking on paper.

"Third Aunt, I took a closer look and found that every family only cooked rice porridge and steamed steamed buns. If our family can stew a pot of meat and vegetables, it will firstly replenish the people's energy, and secondly, let everyone know that we The Hou Mansion is the most kind-hearted, and after gaining a good reputation, the Holy Majesty will be able to look at our mansion highly."

Liu Yunxiang wanted to roll his eyes after hearing this, "Where did the meat come from?"

"Do you have an idea?"

"What can I do as a woman, unlike the second son who reads a lot and has a smart brain, he can still come up with such a good way. Get some meat and vegetables. When the stew is finished, remember to leave me a bowl. I want to eat meat too."

Before she could finish her words, the second young master had already left in embarrassment.

Emperor Hui of Jin said: Why not eat minced meat.

The second son said: Why not stew a pot of meat dishes.

Xie Lincheng, who is worried about the country and the world, is not as good as the third son Xie Linyu, who has no brains and wastes two steamed buns.

Zijin touched it quietly, and whispered, "The grain shop is open."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes lit up, "The government tore up the seal? Is there someone making trouble? Are there any officials to maintain order?"

"Don't dare to make trouble anymore."

"How to say?"

Zijin scratched his head, "There is a plaque hanging in the grain shop, which says 'The Virtue of Helping the World', sent from the palace, said to be written by the Empress Dowager."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, she thought that Yan Mu's helping her was just a small gesture, and told Jingzhao Mansion that the Zhunliang Store would continue to operate, but she didn't expect him to go into the palace and ask for a plaque for her.

The Empress Dowager is known to be kind among the people, and her personal letter is more popular than the imperial gift from the emperor.

Of course, with this plaque, those officials were afraid, so they didn't dare to think about the grain shop.

The sun was heading south, and the officers and soldiers opened the wooden shelves that blocked it, and the people poured in like a flood.There are more than a dozen porridge sheds, and everyone queues up by themselves, and each person can only get one portion, and leave after getting it.

The people rushed over, and everyone in the Jing'an Hou Mansion also started to get busy.

The old lady was full of food and drink, and began to perform in high spirits.

"Old man, slow down, you must be hungry for several days, get some steamed buns, and put more porridge in the bowl."

"Little girl, what about your family, tsk tsk, so pitiful, quickly get this child a steamed bun. She is still young, one is enough."

"You strong young man, don't crowd the old people and children, there are you, so what's the hurry."

Not only the old lady, Xue Shi also looked compassionate, and now she looked like a Buddhist disciple.

"Amitabha, it's really distressing to see, quickly get two more steamed buns for this sister, there are still children waiting at home."

Both of them were able to play well, and Xie Zian didn't show weakness over there.

"The common people are suffering from hunger, and we are also very sad. The rice is saved by my Marquis, and my family is reluctant to eat it. Don't worry, everyone, there will be more tomorrow. As long as the roads are blocked and the food cannot be brought in, Our Hou Mansion will support this porridge shed even if it sells pots and irons, and it is only one person who can save one person."

This was said with righteousness and affection, and the people below applauded him one after another.

Liu Yunxiang almost threw up, who is this family!
At this time, she saw a little girl, about four or five years old, short and thin, who was squeezed out by the team when she was walking forward, and tried to squeeze in, but no one would let her in, so she was very anxious The side burst into tears.

Liu Yunxiang took two steamed buns and waved them in front of the little girl.

As soon as the little girl smelled the aroma of steamed buns, she immediately stopped crying and her saliva flowed down.

"You... Did you give it to me?" She asked timidly.

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Of course, but it's a little hot, do you have a bamboo basket?"

The little girl shook her head, but she wanted the steamed bun so much, she reached out to grab it, but quickly withdrew her hand when it was so hot.

Liu Yunxiang grabbed a small piece and put it in her mouth first, "Sister feed you first."

"Why isn't my sister afraid of being hot?"

"My sister is getting old, and I can bear a little bit of heat. By the way, where are your parents?"

The little girl lowered her head, "Dead."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "Then who are you following now?"

"I live in the same courtyard with many children, and my brother takes care of us."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, and fed the little girl a few more mouthfuls, but she refused to eat any more.

"I want to take it back to my younger siblings."

Seeing that the little girl was so sensible, Liu Yunxiang asked Jinyan to find a cloth bag, and filled it with some steamed buns for her.

"No, you can still come tomorrow, you can go to my sister directly, and my sister will give you more."

"Thank you sister!"

The little girl bowed to Liu Yunxiang, and then walked out happily.Liu Yunxiang noticed that she was walking in a strange posture, limping, and when she looked carefully, there were blood marks where she walked.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly chased after her, took the little girl into his arms, rolled up her trouser legs, and saw that a big piece was broken on the knee, and a large piece of blood flowed down the calf.

"Ah, it's bleeding, no wonder it hurts so much."

"Sister, bandage it for you."

Having said that, Liu Yunxiang pulled the little girl to sit down on a stone beside her, first found some clean water to wash her wound, and then bandaged her with his own handkerchief.

Jin Yanzijin and the others were all busy, Liu Yunxiang wanted to pick up the little girl, but she tried, and it took a lot of strength, she was afraid of hurting the baby in her belly.

"Sister, I can go, it's fine."

Liu Yunxiang rubbed the little girl's head, and when he was in trouble, he walked over alone.

"Let me do it!"

Liu Yunxiang raised his head and saw Lu Changan, he couldn't help being startled, "Senior Lu..."
