The whole capital persuaded me to remarry

Chapter 279 Mrs. Yan is really a good person with a kind heart!

She lowered her eyes and thought, this Mrs. Yan is an idler who only knows how to enjoy flowers and birds, how can she be more kind and admirable than her coming to the gate of the city to give porridge when she has nothing to do?

Sure enough, as soon as she said these words, some of the people who were praising Zhen Baoshu just now showed disdainful expressions, obviously thinking that this kind of lady who doesn't know the sufferings of the people and only knows how to appreciate flowers and birds is not worthy of their love .

Zhen Baoshu turned a blind eye to those gazes, she looked at Miss Jiang in surprise, "So those birds in Yan Mansion were presented by Miss Jiang's family? I heard that someone bought those birds at a high price for a feast of birds, miss you Not such a cruel person!"

Miss Jiang's expression froze, and then she smiled wryly, "It's because the six-year-old boy in the family is ignorant. When he saw his little friend throwing a feast of flowers, he clamored for a feast of birds. No matter how much he persuaded him, he wouldn't listen."

She changed her voice and said, "At first I really didn't agree with my little brother's nonsense, but then I thought about it, buying birds from the common people at a high price, and the common people can exchange silver taels to buy food to make a living, so it can be regarded as indirect. It was a good thing, so I let my little brother mess around. My dad and I have already figured it out, and when the birds are collected, we will make a fake bird feast with chicken, duck and goose meat for my little brother. It was intended to be released."

She looked at Yan Jiulan, "Unexpectedly, when we collected the birds, we happened to meet Master Yan, so we gave those birds to Master Yan as a wedding present, which is a beautiful thing."

Zhen Baoshu pretended to believe her nonsense, nodded, "I see."

Ms. Jiang asked Zhen Baoshu with a smile, "Mrs. Yan, you are kind-hearted, you shouldn't see these people suffering from hunger, right? If not, you would also collect flowers, birds, and give the people a way to make a living?"

Zhen Baoshu took a deep look at Ms. Jiang, waved her hands, and said with a smile, "It's fine to buy the birds. The birds should grow freely in the mountains and forests. Last time, Master Yan and I released those birds. , you don’t want to disturb them again. Those cute little guys are very timid, don’t scare them so that they dare not stay in our Xiangcheng, where can we listen to the birds from now on?”

She glanced at the poor people who were watching.

Because those people heard Miss Jiang's suggestion, they all looked at Zhen Baoshu expectantly at this moment, hoping that she would also buy flowers, plants, birds and insects at a high price, so that they could pick up money and buy food to survive this winter.

Zhen Baoshu said, "It's meaningless to let the people go up the mountain to find exotic flowers and catch birds. If I really want to give money to help the people, I might as well do something with practical significance. For example, build bridges, build Roads, repair canals, we are responsible for everyone’s two meals a day, everyone can fill their stomachs, and after repairing the roads and bridges, it will be convenient for them to travel in the future—”

She smiled and looked at the people, "Do you think so?"

The people nodded excitedly, "Madam Yan said yes! Looking for flowers and catching birds, if we sell them, it has nothing to do with us. We can't see or enjoy them, but we can build roads and bridges." It’s different! We can fill our stomachs by working, and the road will be leveled and the bridge will be safe in the future, and it will be convenient for us to travel!”

Some elderly people also said excitedly, "To go up the mountain to catch birds, young people with sharp ears, eyesight and body can catch them. We old bones can only starve and starve! But building roads and bridges is different. We These old bones can also carry rocks and mud, and we can also have a meal to fill our stomachs!"
