Chapter 308

The lively sound of blowing and beating outside made Han Yu unable to study. Lv Zheng was kind-hearted and had a good time eating.

Seeing that Han Yu's eyebrows were always locked, Lv Zheng's eyes flashed slightly. It seemed that he inadvertently asked, interrupting Han Yu's meditation.

"Where has Zixiao gone? I haven't seen anyone else this morning, and I'm not reading in the morning..."

Han Yu thought back and asked him, "haven't you seen him?"

Lv Zheng ate a plate of white cakes into his stomach, and then drank a large bowl of hot tea happily. The chill of his body evaporated.

"I haven't seen... This plate of white cake is still his breakfast. He doesn't eat it. It's a pity that it's cold, so I'll cook it." Lv Zheng patted his chest and gave himself good breath. He gulped down a large bowl of hot tea. The warm feeling made him feel sleepy.

Han Yu took a swipe at the corner of his mouth and seemed to have seen Wei CI come back and find that the food was gone.

Where is Wei Ci, who is being talked about by the two people at this time?

Dressed in a plain Confucian shirt and a cloak to keep out the cold, he took two servants and a car to the cave where the snow disaster was serious.

Many dilapidated caves collapsed, making the already difficult road extremely rugged. It is difficult for people to get in and out. There is no porridge shed nearby. Many people have a difficult livelihood. The thin old people and children can only starve or freeze to death in the cold.

"Here comes Mr. Wei -"

As soon as he got to the entrance of the alley, a seven or eight year old girl ran into the alley happily.

Not long after, there were about 20 thin old women carrying bowls or children under the age of 10. Weici asked his servants to stop the cart and lift the thick quilt covered on the car. There were four buckets on it. Even with the lid, there was still sweet heat floating out.

"No hurry, everyone has a share."

Although Wei CI doesn't have many expressions, beautiful people always have some privileges. Those people are very moved by his behavior of coming to deliver food every day. They have already put down their guard and are not afraid of this beautiful husband who is like an immortal. Instead, they are very close and like him.

Before long, all three barrels of steamed bread had been distributed, a barrel of viscous white porridge had also seen the bottom, and the residue had been scraped clean.

At this moment, Wei CI found that his clothes had been pulled. He looked down. The gray faced girl looked at herself with black and white eyes. Her eyes were full of children's admiration. Through these eyes, he seemed to see another child, and his heart was soft.

Squatting down and staring at each other, he asked, "have you completed the tasks given to you two days ago?"

The girl nodded heavily, her yellow face fluttered a little red, and replied happily, "well, it's all done!"

The collapse of houses killed many people in their sleep. The roads were blocked, which separated the people in the kiln from the outside.

Weici hired the young men in the kiln cave to provide them with three meals a day and extra wages to clean up the rubble and snow on the road. Otherwise, the cart behind him could not be pushed in, and more houses would suffer under the pressure of the snow.

In front of her, the girl lost her mother in the snow disaster, and her father was broken by the fallen beam, so she couldn't work at all.

It is conceivable that the family will lose their only labor force.

Weici smiled and gave her a task to remember the people who cleaned the snow and rocks, pay their daily wages and give them warm clothes.

The child is very attentive and serious about it.

"Well done." He boasted.

The child opened his mouth with a smile, revealing the gums missing several teeth. He seemed to realize that it was bad, and closed his mouth shyly.

Weici asked the servant to settle yesterday's salary, and asked the servant to remove several bags of grain from the car and leave some grain for each household.

"In two days, I won't come here. There are still some food and money here. Keep it, big guy."

Wei Ci's family is in decline now, but the starved camel is bigger than the horse. Before he moved away, Wei Shi left him a lot of money, enough for him to have enough food and clothing for his life. He just went to Beijing with Mr. Yuanjing for evaluation. At first, he didn't expect to meet this thing, and he didn't bring much.

"Thank you... Thank you for your kindness..."

The crowd said thank-you words, and even the old man wanted to kneel down. All of them were stopped by Wei CI.

Leaving the cave, Wei CI sighed with worry.

Personal strength is always weak. Even if he spends all his money, what can he save?

Weici's hotel is not close to the second prince's residence, but if he wants to go back, he is bound to pass there.

The farther away from the kiln cave, the more tidy and luxurious the surrounding houses are, and the road under your feet has changed from muddy dirt road to neat slate road.

It is hard to imagine that such a kiln cave and the courtyard houses in front of us will be in the same area.

Seeing a majestic guard of honor in front of him, he asked the servant to stop the scooter aside and make way for the other party.

"Lang Jun, the street ahead is the residence of the second prince. Do you want to go around?"

The servant pushed the car and spoke nervously.

A hundred tables of running water seats occupied the whole street. Ordinary people were not allowed to approach, and their servants could not enter.

"Take a detour to avoid bumping into noble people and causing unnecessary trouble."

Wei CI lowered his eyes, closed the sides of his cloak, and frowned tightly, leaving some creases.

The residence of the second prince was originally the property of a senior official in Beijing. Later, it was confiscated. The officials assigned it to the second prince. The residence was expanded and renovated. Almost the whole street is within the scope of the second prince's residence, so it takes a lot of time to detour.

From a distance, Wei CI saw the corner door of the second prince's residence open and buckets of swill were transported to the swill truck.

After half a ring, the swill bucket was moved, and the vermilion corner door was quietly closed.

Far away, Weici heard the servants carrying swill whispering.

"Alas, where is the swill? It's obviously a bucket of silver... I see that the dishes are neat. Some only moved two chopsticks, and some didn't even move. They just poured them into the swill bucket and poured them out as garbage... Outside, I don't know how many people were starved to death... Even throwing these endless food to those people can save many people..."

Another Cook said, "you're not going to die. What are you talking about here? If you're heard by a noble man, you'll lose your life if you lose something small. What are the Dalits outside who are qualified to eat what the noble man has eaten... Anyway, people are born noble with a gold spoon. We are mud legs in the field and were trampled by others..."

"You still have the face to say I, don't you also have no door..."

The two cooks fought for a while, sighed one after another, and quietly drove away from the back door of the mansion.

Hearing this, Wei CI felt as if he were in an ice cellar, and the cold air rushed straight to his brain from the soles of his feet.

A pair of mocking eyes flashed before his eyes, which made his heart tighten.

"Your Majesty... You are right..."

He murmured in a low voice. His eyes were hot and almost burst into tears.
