Chapter 73
After walking for several days in a row, Mo Yan had a hard time these days.This year's weather is not good, and there is a lot of rain on the southern side of the Great Vietnam. Many low-lying villages along the way were submerged, and the villagers suffered a lot. Because it was not large-scale, it was not reported to Kyoto.

The homeless villagers live in the town, the men do coolie work, and the women mend and wash for others, barely making ends meet. It is not easy to eat a full meal these days, and there is not much oil in their stomachs.

A group of people passed by the slums of the small town, and they always saw those children in shabby clothes looking at the grain and grass on the carriage expectantly. Mo Xiang is a sentimental person, and every time at this time, he has to say it to Mo Yan When I was a child, I went to Beijing hungry.

"Miss, you said that if the weather is good and the weather is good, no one will go hungry. This servant knows that that kind of feeling is really uncomfortable."

Mo Xiang frowned and sighed.Her childhood experience is a shadow of her, so many years of smooth sailing in Yushi's mansion, that part of the past is almost shrunk in a corner of her heart, this time on the road, she has seen too many joys and sorrows, she feels the same.

"Mo Xiang, you have to know that even if God gives face, there are still people who are hungry."

The slums are full of low thatched adobe houses, crooked, and some houses are old, with a huge gap in the wall. Due to the long-term rain, the mud wall on the small courtyard was washed away by the rain, making it even more dilapidated. There are several stinky ditches around, emitting a sour smell in summer.The little boys had sallow faces, and stood at the entrance of the alley, staring fixedly at the direction of the carriage, with envious expressions in their eyes.

No matter when, there are rich and poor. To survive in ancient times, one should have a skill. What else can farmers do besides farming?Those who can do carpentry and heavy physical work can still have something to eat, but it is troublesome for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

"The servant knows."

Mo Xiang rested her chin, leaned against the car window, and waved at the children. Immediately, everyone scattered like birds and beasts, and ran away in all directions, and no one was seen in the blink of an eye.Mo Xiang's face was flushed, and she said, "This is how the servants waved, and everyone ran away. I wanted to order cakes for them."

Mo Yan shook her head, Mo Xiang is kind-hearted, the master and servant gave alms a lot along the way, but it's just a little food, can it save a life?When they leave, those people will have to worry about food again.In her opinion, although some people live in poverty, they are not without food. Why should they help them?
Just like these children, their families live in slums, but they also have a place that can shelter them from wind and rain. Unlike refugees, they donate cakes and snacks to these people. What to do with a lazy temper.

"Miss, what you said is really reasonable."

Mo Xiang thought about it carefully, and it was really the case.There are too many poor people in this world, and what she sees is just the tip of the iceberg. Some people really should help, so she will do what she can. Her personal ability is limited, and she really shouldn't abuse her kindness.

"If one day, your young lady can stand in a high position, she will definitely help these poor people."

Mo Yan patted her chest, her mother Lu family would give alms in Kyoto every [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, when she asked her mother why she did that, she said it was to make her heart more peaceful, and also for the sake of her father's reputation.

It has been raining for the past few days, but everyone never stopped. In order to catch up with time, they were on their way even at night. Some of the soldiers guarding the food and grass had fever due to the rain, but they kept their backs straight and persisted.

In front of it is another hub of Dai Viet, Wanzhou City.This is a fortress in Dayue. If you walk west from Wanzhou for a few days, you can reach Dawu, and it is also adjacent to another country in the east, so it is very prosperous. Merchants from neighboring countries often come to sell goods. You can buy from Wanzhou Good items that cannot be bought in Kyoto.

Just now, Li De sent a good news. They will stay in Wanzhou for supplies and stay for one day. Those soldiers have not closed their eyes for several nights, and their bodies can't bear it. rest.

Mo Xiang happily stood up from the carriage and cheered, and thanked Li De, who had always looked down on her, and Li De was so scared that he rode away, thinking that something was wrong with her.

"Miss, it's so kind!"

Mo Xiang was full of smiles, her eyes were narrowed together, she poured a cup of tea like a dog, and held it in front of Mo Yan with both hands, "A cook in our house is from Wanzhou. I heard that this place is prosperous, and there are many people here. Dawu's silk fabrics are exquisite in style and cheap, at least more than half cheaper than in Kyoto!"

A few days ago, she earned more than 2000 taels from Mubai, and Mo Yan earned a lot of money along the way. She has the money, so she is very confident.Hearing that silk is cheap here in Wanzhou, I immediately moved my mind.On the way back, she was going to pass by Luzhou. She wanted to give Wei Zixian some presents that she could take out, as well as Chen Ying, her good sister from Chen Guogong's mansion in Kyoto.

"What is the most distinctive feature of Wanzhou?"

I heard that the craftsmen of Great Wu are ingenious, as can be seen from the jewelry given by Mrs. Liu, the prefect of Luzhou. She likes it very much. If the price is good, she wants to buy a few sets. It can be sold to pig teammates at a high price.

"This one……"

Mo Xiang's eyes flickered, she grabbed the handkerchief with her hand, and whispered, "It's a brothel."

"Ok."

Mo Yan was embarrassed, and pretended that she had never asked this question.This heartless maid, thanks to the fact that the two of them were in the carriage, otherwise she wouldn't be able to say those words casually.There are brothels everywhere in Kyoto, places for men to have fun, but the daughters of Kyoto are very secretive about this, and they dare not even mention it, for fear of ruining their reputation.

At noon, the carriage finally entered Wanzhou City.After entering the city gate, Mo Yan followed the window screen of the car and felt something unusual.It was the time to take a break, but there were people coming and going on the street, people coming in and out of the shops on the street, and there were many women traveling together.

"Could it be that the folk customs of Wanzhou City can't be opened up?"

A group of people rushed to the post station, according to the old rules, three carriages drove forward until Xiankelai, Mo Yan just got off the carriage, and came in front of Mrs Lu, it is not impossible to go out for a stroll, you need to get mother's permission.

"You girl, forget about today's day."

Mo Yan was reminded, and suddenly remembered that today happens to be the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the folk Qiqiao Festival.According to folklore, on the night of the seventh day of the seventh month, magpies will build a bridge across the Milky Way for the Cowherd and Weaver Girl to meet on the magpie bridge. According to ancient customs, unmarried women have to wear needles to beg for cleverness on this night.
