There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 255

[Chapter 255, Saving People]

It wasn’t until the end of August that the gate of Xingyun Mansion was opened.

The city gates have been closed for nearly three months, and the supplies in the city have been exhausted. Now, many people have nothing to eat.

Now that the plague has been cured, everyone can go out to earn a living.

Daohua originally thought they could leave, but who knew, Xiao Yeyang would stay to help the disaster.

Governor Guo is in charge of the military affairs of the three provinces of Zhongzhou, Fenxi, and Jiguang. This time, the floods and plagues broke out in Jiguang, and he needs to take care of them.

Now the plague is under control, but a large number of victims have not yet been resettled.

Governor Guo is very busy now, Xiao Yeyang went to check it once, and found that he hadn’t seen him in two or three months, his uncle had lost a lot of weight, Dang even decided to stay and help, and at the same time, he also wanted to exercise himself.

Dong Yuanxuan and Yan Wenxiu thought about it all night and decided to stay.

“Originally, we came to Jiguang to experience disaster relief, but we didn’t expect to be infected with the plague before we did our official business. Now that we are cured, we should do some serious business, otherwise, we would really have made this trip in vain. .”

Hearing these words, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao looked at each other.

Daohua looked at the three brothers Yan Wenxiu: “I’m here to pick you up, so I will go back whenever you go back.”

Dong Yuanyao also quickly said to Dong Yuanxuan: “Brother, I am too, anyway, I am I want to go back to Zhongzhou with you.”

Regarding this, both Yan Wenxiu and Dong Yuanxuan looked helpless.

Finally, Dong Yuanxuan said: “Then you stay in the city and don’t run around. There are disaster victims everywhere outside, it will be very dangerous for you two girls to go out.”

Daohua nodded quickly: “Don’t worry, if you don’t follow You guys, we promise not to run around.”

Dong Yuanyao also nodded.

In the days that followed, Governor Guo sent Xiao Yeyang and his party to help, and Daohua and Dong Yuanyao were not idle either.

Daohua sent Qin Xiaoliu back and brought several boats of grain; Dong Yuanyao also sent a letter to his family, and the Dong family also raised a batch of grain.

The two set up a porridge stall at the gate of the city to give out porridge.

“This river embankment burst is really harmful!”

“Isn’t it? I heard that this time Jiguang was flooded with countless fertile fields and knocked down many houses.”

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao dressed as men and stood at the porridge stall In front of him, while spooning porridge for others, he was talking in a low voice.

“It’s not about the corruption and bribery of the officials, and the vegetarian meals in the corpses, otherwise, how could we have suffered these hardships!”

A voice of dissatisfaction with strong complaints came to the ears of Daohua and Dong Yuanyao. When the two looked up, they saw a ten-year-old Five or six years old, dark and stocky, wearing shorts.

Daohua saw that the people around her showed signs of approval, thought for a while and said, “You can’t kill everyone with one shot. Not all officials are bad, and there are many honest and honest ones.” The

young man smiled sarcastically: “Little brother , you are still too young, how can there be any real good officials in this world? Even if there are, they are just some people who try to gain fame.”

Dong Yuanyao couldn’t be more angry, put the spoon down, and looked at the young man unhappily: ” What nonsense are you talking about here? If there are no good officials in this world, who raised the medicinal materials sent over when the plague broke out before?”

“Who got the porridge you are drinking now? Who are the people who provide disaster relief and food deliveries in various places? You can’t be without a conscience, you can’t drink the porridge raised by the officials and

speak ill of the officials.” The young man was speechless, and after a while, he spoke in a muffled voice. “Is this porridge raised by officials?”

Dong Yuanyao: “Of course, listen carefully. One of these two porridge stalls was set up by the chief envoy of Zhongzhou, and the other was set up by the magistrate of Xingzhou. If you don’t believe me, You can inquire anytime you want.”

Seeing the people around nod their heads repeatedly, the young man looked at the angry Dong Yuanyao, buried his head and left without making any porridge.

Daohua pulled Dong Yuanyao: “Why are you so angry? That person probably lost his home and just complained.”

Dong Yuanyao picked up the spoon and continued to scoop porridge for the people behind: “I just can’t get angry Well, I won’t talk about your father, but my father, I have watched him as an official since I was a child. Maybe he has some official habits, but he is really doing things for the people.”

Daohua: “.Okay Don’t be angry!” After finishing speaking, he summoned Wang Man’er and asked her to bring a bowl of porridge to the young man just now.

She looked at it, and the young man was bringing an old man with him.

Dong Yuanyao looked over, pouted, and said nothing.

Daohua smiled and did not explain.

She didn’t have the strong sense of empathy that Dong Yuanyao did, and she also knew that what that person was really talking about were those officials who caused the embankment to burst. The cheap father had nothing to do with this matter, so she naturally didn’t mind.

In a blink of an eye, it’s September.

On the day of Double Ninth Festival, under the orders of Governor Guo, Xiao Yeyang escorted a batch of grain to Fucheng next door. When he passed the city gate, he saw Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, so he asked.

“Would you like to come with me and take a walk around the neighboring city?”

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao’s eyes lit up at the same time: “Is it possible?” Xiao Yeyang

smiled: “There is nothing wrong with it, just bring the two of you along.

Daohua hurriedly said: “Then let’s go. Wait a moment, I’ll explain.” After

a while, the three arrived at the pier and boarded the boat.

Daohua stood on the deck and looked at the flooded fields on both sides, sighed, and then asked: “Can we go back today?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded: “Of course, if everything goes well, we will be back before evening After

an hour, the three of Xiao Yeyang arrived at the Fucheng Wharf next door.

In this flood, the emperor was furious and severely punished a group of officials. Now the officials in Jiguang are all conscientious, and they are afraid that if they fail to do a good job, they will be held accountable.

Therefore, Xiao Yeyang’s handover went smoothly.

“Don’t worry, my lord, the officials will immediately invest in the relief of these grains.”

Xiao Yeyang said calmly, “I have delivered the grains one by one. If the disaster is not brought under control, it will be the magistrate.” Your problem is over, when the time comes, you can explain it to Uncle Huang yourself.” The

prefect’s body trembled suddenly.

On the bow of the boat, Dong Yuanyao tugged on Daohua’s sleeves, looking at the stern-faced and unsmiling Xiao Yeyang: “When the little prince is not smiling, he is quite scary.”

Daohua looked carefully , pursed her lips respond.

Maybe it was because she was too familiar with Xiao Yeyang, or maybe she had seen Xiao Yeyang be a beggar, anyway, she was not very afraid of him.

Soon, Xiao Yeyang came back, looked at Daohua and the two with a smile and said: “Okay, my errands are done, when I go back, the boat can drive slower, and it’s all for sightseeing.”

“Okay Ah!”

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao had nothing to do with it, and they came out this time for the purpose of going for a ride.

On the way, the three of Daohua were standing on the deck talking and laughing, when they suddenly heard exclamations from the bank, and when they stretched their heads to look, they found that a river bank had sunken suddenly, and several passers-by fell directly into the water.

Xiao Yeyang immediately asked people to stop the boat, and called a young man who knew how to swim into the water to rescue people, and then he was going to watch from the back of the boat himself.

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao wanted to follow, but they were stopped by Xiao Yeyang.

“The stern of the boat is narrow and messy. Don’t go there. Be careful not to fall into the river.”

Dao Hua hurriedly said, “Then you have to be careful.”

Xiao Yeyang nodded, turned and left.

While Daohua and Dong Yuanyao were waiting for the news, another call came from the front.

Daohua immediately looked over and found that the river bank in front had also collapsed, and two elderly people fell into the water at once.

“Hurry up, save people quickly.”

Everyone on the deck looked around in a panic, and then said, “Miss Yan, those who know how to use water will save people later, and none of us can.”

Daohua was stunned, and quickly He looked at the two old men who were rushing towards them in the river.
