reborn child bride

Chapter 527 Earthquake (3) ([-])
"What is Daddy going to do?"

"The mountain collapsed and blocked the road. We have to dig the road tonight, otherwise we won't be able to get food and drink in. People who are seriously injured inside won't be able to get out either. Dad will go and see. Go to the hardest hit areas."

Xiao Zhizhi let out an "oh" half-understood, and leaned her head on her mother's shoulder.She was very sleepy just now, and she managed to pull herself together.When Shen Ji walked into the cubicle with her in his arms, he was already asleep.

Cailan was making her own bed on top of two close together clothes boxes, and when she saw this, she wanted to come over to hug Xiao Zhizhi, she also lived here to help Shen Ji look after the child.Put the bedding and pillows into the box during the day, and the box can be used as a table when sitting or handling things.There are two boxes, one is for Shen Ji and Xiao Zhizhi, and the other is for Xiao Baozi. On the contrary, he has the most and the most miscellaneous things.

Shen Ji waved his hand to signal no need, put Xiao Zhizhi inside the crib, and then helped her take off her shoes, socks and coat.Cailan went out and brought in water, asked Shen Ji to wash his face and feet, then took a hot towel and climbed onto the small bed to wipe Xiao Zhima.The little girl was tired from playing today, so she slept soundly despite the sound of rain falling on the tent.But Xiao Baozi opened his eyes dimly, Shen Ji coaxed a few words softly, then blew out the candle, and he fell asleep again.

Shen Ji sighed, climbed into the small bed to sleep with Xiao Zhima in his arms, and said to Cai Lan, "Hurry up and sleep too, you've been busy all day."

"Yes."

Xiaozhizhi's body slipped into Shen Ji's arms and slept next to her. Shen Ji didn't dare to turn over for fear of shocking her, but he couldn't sleep well.It was raining harder and harder, which made matters worse.It is inconvenient to resettle the victims and dig the road.But only in the rain.

Early in the morning, Shen Ji woke up to the mellow smell of ginger soup.Mother Fang brought someone to cook a large pot of ginger soup for everyone to keep out the cold.Shen Ji coaxed Xiao Zhizhi to drink it together, but Xiao Baozi kept his mouth shut and refused to drink.

"Come back and dress him warmly."

It was raining today, and Xiao Zhizhi couldn't get out of the tent, let alone play hide-and-seek with the children in the garden, so she grabbed Shen Ji's clothes and wanted to go out with her.Shen Ji was helpless and anxious, the maid and the little girls sat around, a dozen of them played drumming and passing flowers, and slipped out while Xiao Zhizhi was getting absorbed in playing.

One autumn rain and one cold, Shen Ji put on his boots, and next to him Ji Bai put on an umbrella and got into the carriage.When I arrived at the Compassion Society, I also smelled a strong smell of ginger soup.In addition to the places arranged by the yamen, the Compassion Society has also set up places for resettling the victims, and Abbot Keats led the various temples and nunneries to prepare open spaces to accommodate people, and finally these people were not displaced.There were rice grains and silver allotted by the imperial court everywhere, and when he got off the car just now, Old Zhao told Shen Ji that there were yamen guards outside the rice shop, and he did not dare to increase the price indiscriminately.

Shen Ji nodded and asked the steward something.After a while, Xu Fang came with a medical kit on his back.He took turns going to the places where the disaster victims were taken in to treat people with headaches and brain fever, and he also brought some medicinal herbs with him in a large pot, so Shen Ji asked someone to set up a stove to boil them.

"The road is blocked, and people in the disaster area are blocked. When they come to the states and counties, it is estimated that they will be crowded everywhere. Prepare first, set up the tents, and prepare the blankets and other things. ..."

Shen Ji explained some things and asked people to pay the money.I went to see what happened to Xu Fang by myself.She was against the rules, and she covered her face with a light veil when she went out.When Xu Fang saw her, he said hello, "Mrs. Wei!"

"Doctor Xu!"

A disaster victim nearby heard that she was the magistrate's wife, and hurried over to kowtow to her.Even though Shen Ji has been here for 14 years, he still can't get used to accepting other people's kowtow, especially if he is an elderly person, so he quickly asked someone to help him.

"All the ladies and I are just helping everyone within our ability. You can stay at ease and don't be too polite. When the earthquake passes, the imperial court will help everyone rebuild their homes."

Xu Fang had already taken care of everything, and left an apprentice to deal with the follow-up. He carried the medicine box and went out with Shen Ji, "Master Wei has such a wife, what can a husband ask for!" Capable and capable, inside and out.Now when people in Yangzhou talk about the wife of the magistrate, they always say, "No wonder the magistrate is willing to offend the emperor and the queen mother and not accept concubines."

"Doctor Xu, don't make fun of me."

"I heard that Mr. Wei went to the landslide?"

"Yeah, just after someone brought a message back, the road is about to be dug through. He wants to go inside and have a look."

"The virtuous couple is a husband who sings and a wife follows."

Xu Fang is not an outsider, we have been old acquaintances for several years.Moreover, he has been helping the Wei family a lot, so Shen Ji didn't beat around the bush when he spoke, "I don't want to be meritorious, but I'm afraid that I won't do it well. I'm afraid that if I don't handle it well, I will be guilty. But some people don't like to see Big Brother Wei in this position. of."

"Just do your best, and the people here know it well. I'm leaving, and I have other places to go."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Because of the rain, Shen Ji didn't go back to eat at noon.The cook of the Compassion Society naturally planned to cook another meal for her, and came to ask Ji Bai what to cook.Ji Bai thought for a while, "Madam's temperament, I didn't stay for dinner before to keep the kitchen from being extra busy. Today must be eating with the disaster victims, so don't do extra work."

"How about that?"

"It's okay, just do as I say."

Shen Ji was quite satisfied after hearing Ji Bai's return, "Okay, you can go to have a big pot meal with me."

Naturally, it wasn't waiting in line with the group of disaster victims, that would be too much of a show.However, some women who were eating together heard that it was the prefect's wife who was sitting on the stool over there eating cornbread and drinking porridge like them, so they still couldn't help but look at her.Discussing in a low voice, "It looks really good, like Guanyin!"

Shen Ji smiled and told people that she was also hungry when she was a child, and it was a kind of happiness to have such corn bread to eat at that time.Having said that, the distance quickly narrowed.Everyone saw that she was peaceful, and they really didn't dislike eating corn bread and pickles, so they also talked to her.

"I didn't expect Madam to come from a bitter background."

"Yeah, I was very poor when I was a child, but fortunately our adults had a smooth road to the imperial examination. Otherwise, I would not be much better than you now. Hey, was the porridge you drank so thick yesterday?"

Everyone looked at each other, and someone whispered: "Today is better."

Shen Ji smiled, "Then I'll come to have a meal with you every now and then, so they won't dare to boil it."

"Ha ha!"

Two days later, Shen Ji went back from the Compassionate Society. On the way, he saw a few yamen servants rushing back, so he asked Old Zhao to stop and ask.Those people recognized Old Zhao Tou and told him that they were escorting Wang Tongzhi back.Wang Tongzhi was buried under the thatched hut when resettling the victims, and he was pulled out with great difficulty.After simple treatment, Mr. Wei ordered him to be sent back for treatment.
