The victims were hungry and cold, and many of them were sick. Lian Suisui worked all day in Miaoshou Hall, and in the evening many homeless victims were treated in the pharmacy.
There are so many disaster victims in the city, aren't there even more outside the city?
"My boss, more and more victims are pouring into the capital. Martial law has been enforced at the gate of the city. The court has ordered that the victims are not allowed to come in."
Shopkeeper Ning inquired about the situation outside from the victims.
"I heard that this time, the snow in our capital was relatively light, and most areas in the capital were hit."
However, most of the land around the capital is not in the hands of the people. Most of the people living in the Gyeonggi area are tenant farmers. Their families do not have enough food to survive the winter, so they usually do small jobs to make ends meet.
There is no work to do in the snow.
This heavy snow has cut off the livelihood of many people.
"Since the people are not allowed to enter the city, the court should take countermeasures. Should they provide porridge outside the city or build resettlement houses?"
Shopkeeper Ning shook his head.
"I don't know, but at the emperor's feet, someone should take care of this matter. In the past, there would be virtuous people in the capital who would open porridge shacks outside the city and distribute some cotton-padded clothes, quilts and other items to keep out the cold. This year's situation is even worse than in previous years. What’s more, whether it’s just for show, or whether it’s really doing good deeds, someone will always come forward.”
This is true.
Spending a little money to buy fame is the favorite thing of the powerful people in the capital. They only need to pay their subordinates to do it, and they don't have to come forward themselves, which is the most trouble-free thing.
"Boss, should we use your name to contribute?"
Lian Suisui's reputation was notoriously bad in the capital. It would be great if he could take this opportunity to clear his name.
She was a little excited.
"But we are the weakest. If we can't hold up later, don't we want to be scolded?"
Shopkeeper Ning chuckled and said, "It's okay, we still have a lot of money on our books."
Even Suisui always thought his smile was a little weird.
"No villain will ever trick you."
Lian Suisui felt that he was a secretive sweeper, a manager who could be recognized by the two doctors Qian and Wu, and that he was outstanding in his own right.
"Okay, if you don't have enough manpower, hire a few more people, or pick some clean hands and feet from the victims to help. The porridge shack in the city will still be opened. Let Doctor Qian stay here, and Doctor Wu will follow me to the outside of the city."
Her family should also set up a porridge shed in the city. Instead of leaving it to her servants, she might as well do it herself.
"Third sister, I want to go with you!"
Lian Xiaoxiao feels that although today is tiring, it is very meaningful. She has helped many people. Among the victims, there are people who are even more pitiful than her. She was born in the Lian family and has not lacked food and clothing since she was a child. She does not have to worry about making a living. She is already very happy. .
Seeing that she was much more cheerful, Lian Suisui agreed.
"Okay, let's go back home and discuss it with mother."
The money in the book was taken away by Lian Fangyu, and the rest had to deal with the capital's favors.
Others in the capital have not yet started to take action, so Qin originally wanted to wait a little longer.
It happened that Lian Suisui mentioned this matter when he came back.
"It's rare that you have such kindness. I will provide you with the money for disaster relief."
Mrs. Qin planned to use the dowry money to pave the way for Lian Suisui.
"Mom, you are so kind!"
Lian Suisui held Qin's arm and acted coquettishly, while Lian Xiaoxiao lowered her head in envy. Although she would also hold Aunt Liu's arm and act coquettishly, Aunt Liu was never satisfied with any request she made, even if it was just to eat a bunch of candied haws. Pass her.
He spent all day planning carefully, saying it was to buy a dowry for her.
But after buying jewelry, she was never allowed to wear it. I went to take stock of her jewelry every day, and if there was a hairpin missing, I would have to ask for a long time.
"Mom, I'm going to take my fourth sister with me. It's just a good time for my fourth sister to relax."
None of them wanted to mention what happened that day.
This matter was kept tightly covered, and no one except a few parties knew about it.
Mrs. Qin told Lian Xiaoxiao: "It's okay. Don't take it personally. If you meet the right one later, I will prepare a dowry for you and help you find a good family."
"Thank you, mother."
Qin's words made Lian Xiaoxiao feel a little relieved. After the accident, she was always worried that Qin would scold her for being shameless and punish her for not knowing how to love herself. After being on tenterhooks for several days, her heart finally fell back into her stomach.
"Don't tell Madam Liu about this matter, lest she worry."
Mrs. Liu is a timid person. If she knew the truth, she would not have to worry about it every day.
Lian Xiao felt grateful, knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you mother, my daughter is ashamed of her mother's teachings!"
Qin taught her the same things as Lian Suisui. The mistress did not deal with her just because she was a concubine. In the past, Lian Xiaoxiao would feel sorry for herself and feel inferior. Today, compared with those victims of the disaster, she is very lucky. .
"Get up and be more alert in the future. If you make the same mistake again, I won't care about you."
Although Lian Jialiang planned this incident, if she had loved herself enough and not followed Lian Jialiang out of the house, she would not have suffered this disaster.
Lian Xiao said gratefully: "My daughter can't do it anymore."
"Mom, how will I be punished?"
Lian Suisui was angry, Lian Jialiang caused Lian Xiao half his life, but he was not punished. It was so unfair!
"Your father will punish him by copying books and he will be grounded until next spring."
Mrs. Qin knew that Lian Suisui was unwilling to give in, so she could only advise, "After all, he is the eldest son in the family. Small things should be kept under wraps. It is better not to cause too much trouble and cause others to speculate."
Lian Suisui asked again: "Have the Qi family visited recently?"
It has been a few days since the incident, and there is no news about the Qi family.
Qin shook his head.
He is probably seeking medical treatment for his son's problem.
Deserve it!
Mrs. Qin didn't know if it was because of Lian Suisui's actions. She wanted to say something about the difference between men and women but swallowed it. Forget it, she just pretended that she didn't know. It was a bit inappropriate to talk about men with her daughter who had not left the court.
"It's getting late, you go back and rest."
Lian Suisui and Lian Xiao are blessed.
"Mom, let's go then!"
Have a good rest tonight and go out of town tomorrow.
On the other side, Qi Jin took Qi Wenlin to see all the famous doctors in the capital, but none of them could cure his son's disease. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep well for several days.
"The Lian family must have done something to me!"
Qi Wenlin couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it. He just slept at Lian's house, why couldn't he do it?
Obviously...it was okay back then!
The little beauty is begging for mercy under him, not to mention how refreshing that feeling is!
Moreover, he will soon become the son-in-law of the Lian family, and he will soon rise to prominence. Why... something went wrong at this time!
"Dad, didn't you rely on the Lian family at that time?"
It's just one step away, and it feels so uncomfortable to have all your plans come to nothing!
Qi Wenlin complained: "What happened to me happened to the Lian family, why don't you think about me? If you can't marry a girl from the Lian family this time, they will turn against you next time!"
Qi Jin was also upset. He knew that his son liked to fool around outside, and Qi Wenlin was asleep at the time. He was frightened by Doctor Qian's name. He was only worried about his son's condition and forgot how to react. That didn't happen!
"If we miss this opportunity, we will have to think of other options."
Qi Jin sighed and looked at his son without hesitation.
"Son, I think it's better for us to see a doctor as soon as possible. We can wait until the disease is cured before we talk about anything else. Otherwise, what will you do in the future?"
