Chapter 7: Show some face!

The fine and dense snow is falling harder and harder, and for six consecutive days, a thick layer has accumulated on the road.

The refugees who were already suffering from hunger were even more miserable due to hunger and cold. Many old, weak, sick and disabled people fell down and could not get up along the way, and there was a lot of crying along the way.

Yu Linlang lifted a crack in the curtain, reached out to pick up the crystal clear snowflakes, and rubbed the coolness on her fingertips.

Since five days ago, two carriages were vacated overnight for General Zhao to make other arrangements, there are now more than a dozen boxes of flowers and plants piled in the carriages.

The master and servant were often huddled together on one side, unable to even place a charcoal basin.

In order to let Yu Linlang rest more comfortably, Jiu Jin rested outside with the driver at night.

The cold wind and snow came all night long, so I relied on bowls of ginger soup to get through it.

"General Xiao Zhao led people back and forth to collect some rice. He said he would make some bean and corn porridge tonight."

Jiujin stomped the snow particles on his legs, cringed and got into the car, holding a bowl of ginger soup for Yu Linlang.

"Following the girl's instructions, we donated our remaining four bags of corn as a token of appreciation."

Yu Linlang nodded.

"Alas, although we cook three large barrels of ginger soup every night, there are too many refugees in front and back, so it's not enough to share."

"Just do your best." Yu Linlang's face was pale, not too moved.

There are as many poor people in the world as crucian carp crossing a river. It is nonsense to say that they can all be helped.

"I heard that there was a lady from the Li Mansion in front of me who freed up the carriage she was riding in for the hungry people. Many people knelt down and called her a living Buddha."

Yu Linlang nodded again, looking noncommittal.

Jiujin stretched out his hand to lift a corner of the curtain, and said with his mouth out the window, "Well, that Miss Li has been standing there for a long time. The cold wind is blowing, and she is not tired even if she keeps holding it like this."

Yu Linlang glanced at her, her eyes paused on Miss Li, who stood elegantly with her swan neck held high, and then fell on the carriage at the side and rear.

"It is said that the imperial court has appointed two pacification envoys this time to coordinate the disaster relief. The person in the carriage is the heir apparent of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion from the capital."

Yu Linlang shook her head, "This Xuanping Hou Mansion is probably a place where no one is favored."

"What does the girl mean by this?" Jiu Jin was curious.

"If the emperor's grace was so great, how could he appoint a man whose bone marrow was seriously ill and whose life was hanging by a thread to seek death in the dead of winter?"

"Should we send someone to find out the details?"

"Why should I check him?" Yu Linlang was speechless, "He is just a dying person, what does it have to do with me."

She stretched out her hand and patted the little girl's forehead, "Don't be paranoid all day long and rest early. At this speed, we will have to stay up for two more nights before we can enter the city."

However, in the middle of the night, Yu Linlang was awakened by the sound of arguments.

With her head bulging with excitement, Yu Linlang stretched her hands and feet, "Who is making a noise outside?"

"Girl, I am the daughter of the Mu family in Lizhou and I have caught the cold. I would like to invite you to come and have a look!"

Aunt Hu raised her high-pitched voice and urged, "Come down and take a look. Jiu Jin is too rude." "What? I told you that my girl is not a doctor. If you are sick, go to the hospital." Medicine Hall, you come to my girl to rest in the middle of the night, this is really rude."

"If you dare to lift the curtain without authorization, I will chop off your hands, you old cunning slave!!"

With a sudden loud shout from Jiujin, the two women who wanted to forcefully lift the curtain took a step back.

Yu Linlang opened half of the curtain on her own, and her eyes coldly swept across the people under the car.

Aunt Hu led a few girls to push the coachman aside. In front of Jiujin stood two powerful old women, who must have been servants of the Lizhou Mu family.

"Miss Yu." Aunt Hu stepped forward and opened her mouth like a barrage of fire. "Rescuing people is like putting out fire. Please go over and show me. Miss Li's father is our master's colleague and friend. You You have to do your best to treat him."

Yu Linlang raised her eyelids slightly, "Young lady is very noble. I am afraid that someone like me who has a little knowledge of medical science will not be qualified for the position of a doctor."

The mother-in-law of the Mu family in Lizhou stamped her feet and said angrily, "Isn't it because the roads in front and back are blocked by refugees, the traffic is slow, and it is impossible to enter the city immediately, so I am begging you, Miss Yu?"

"What kind of begging attitude do you have? Who are you trying to intimidate?"

The other mother-in-law was very obedient. When she saw this, she knelt down on the ground and cried out pitifully, "Miss, you are so kind and compassionate. Please save my girl."

Yu Linlang's face was calm, and she waved her hands and said, "That's all, you can go over and have a look. I only have a superficial understanding of medicine, and I don't have any special medicines at hand."

"Are you sure you can cure my young lady?" There were so many excuses that the mother-in-law became furious.

Yu Linlang shook her head very calmly, "No one has ever seen it, how can we be sure of it?"

"Go and bring the third lady here." The mother-in-law of the State Mufu said with a cold face, "Ask more girls to pack the car so that my girl can lie down more comfortably."

Jiu Jin opened his mouth wide, as if he was so shocked by the shamelessness of the person in front of him that he could not speak...

However, Aunt Hu and several other girls came forward and agreed, "Okay, okay."

"What's so good!!" Jiujin reacted, and his chest was about to explode with anger, "Just see a doctor. Why, the incense burners rushed to greet the visiting monks, you Lizhou Mufu still want to occupy the magpie's nest??"

"What are you talking about, girl? That's a young lady from the Prefectural Mufu. Why are you so stupid?" Aunt Hu wanted to lift Jiujin, but the latter raised her hand and punched her, half of her old face was frozen. .

"Don't hit me!" Jiu Jin punched her in anger, and hit Aunt Hu several times on the head, "I wonder if you weren't the dog raised by the governor's wife? When did you become the dog of the state shepherd's office again? I haven't even given you a bone yet, but I'm barking and wagging my tail. Are you embarrassed?"

The two women in the Prefectural Mufu were so angry that their faces turned green. They looked up at Yu Linlang and said, "Miss Yu, you girl is so powerful with your fists and mouth."

Yu Linlang actually smiled faintly at them and said, "You two are well rewarded."

It was obviously Zhang's face that was ordinary, but this smile was like the first melt on the snow, creating a wave of beautiful water. Mu Feng, who ran out of the car to peek at the excitement, was stunned for a moment.

"Big brother, big brother." He hurriedly jumped into the car and said with great interest, "The girl in the car opposite, and even the girl next to her are quite interesting! I have never seen such a powerful girl, she doesn't agree with anything. Just hit someone! If you say I send someone to buy this girl from her, will the lady be willing? "

"It is not a gentleman's behavior to spy on women quarreling in the middle of the night. You want to buy a girl who has been trained by a daughter of a boudoir since she was a child. You are outrageous! If you are really free, go back to the city for me early and join Master Lu." Mu Zhaorong looked lightly and leaned back. Beside him, he looked tired.

Mufeng shrank his head, "I don't."

"I promised my mother before I came out that I would follow you every step of the way and check on your health at any time."
