Beauty Sihuanian

Chapter 221

Probably all the people living in the capital and its surrounding areas have never encountered such a chaotic and desperate time like these three months. The old people prayed to God and worshiped Buddha every day, hoping that God would have a sunny day and stop flooding , but after three months of rain and two months of begging, the rain did not decrease. By the third month, many people were already desperate. A bunch of people who wanted to enter the city gathered, all of them were controlled by Wucheng and the city defense battalion outside the city. Because the government responded in a timely manner and the government and the people cooperated, they built temporary marching tents outside the city to accommodate refugees whose hometowns were flooded. I live in the suburban area, and my home is basically in the middle of the ocean. I really didn’t go out, so I can only come to the capital to see if I can find a place to stay. It is unrealistic to let so many refugees into the city at once. It was placed outside, but fortunately there was a tent to live in, and there was no major disturbance for a while.

Song Yuxi stood on the second floor of the grain shop and looked at the drops of water hanging on the eaves, and let out a big breath. The disaster of the heavy rain in the capital was finally half over, even if she knew clearly that the rain would last for three months , but in the wet environment every day, I really don’t feel any joy. After selling the grain in the warehouse for a month, she started not to charge money. The rules are the same, but people come to pick up the grain , without needing to pay any more, the charity she did in the name of the Duke of the Town received a lot of praise, but no matter what she did, she couldn't resist the impact of natural disasters, and more and more people were displaced on the street. Fortunately, the imperial court decisively dealt with it by opening the doors of the six temples and all the yamen in the city to accommodate some people whose houses were destroyed and unable to live, providing charcoal fire, quilts and food, which solved the problem to a large extent. Over the past few months, incidents that have spawned trouble because of the destruction of homes do not seem to have happened much.

Recalling the situation in the previous life, Song Yuxi only felt that it was great that Xiao Qiyu came back.

Because in her previous life, she lived in the common people, saw people displaced, and then conflicts broke out. Many people gathered in front of the government gate. Because they had no food, clothing or shelter, they simply occupied the hall of the government. Later, the imperial court sent troops to suppress it. There were also many misunderstandings between the military and the people, so that many riots occurred later. In the middle and late stages, people gathered together to rob the wealth. Many wealthy families had the experience of being invaded and plundered by refugees. , A hole was broken in the sky, people's hearts were cut off, and the chaos was so chaotic that the government couldn't control it.

And these things are only in the capital. After the rain stops, more and more refugees will come from Zhigu and Hejian. Now some people in the suburbs have been arranged to live in military tents. Gu, the refugees from Hejian also came, and it might be more difficult to resettle outside the city, and I don't know how Xiao Qiyu will respond.

The rain stopped, not the end, but the beginning.

As Song Yuxi walked down the stairs, Lai Fu, the concierge of the Song family, greeted him and said to Song Yuxi:

"Miss Seven, the ceremony at home is about to begin, and the old lady asked me to come and find Miss to go back."

Since the morning, the Qin family has led everyone to prepare for the ceremony. Xie Zuzong blesses, Song Yuxi's matter of stockpiling and releasing grain this time has helped the Song family. She has contributed a lot, so the Qin family has paid more attention to her. Things, never forget to send someone to invite her back to participate.

Although Song Yuxi understood that the matter was not over yet, but there had been no sunny days for so many days, and the people in Zhen Guogong's mansion really needed to settle down. Worshiping ancestors was the most convenient and effective method, which could quickly calm people's hearts.Qin's being a wife, these are all necessary actions.

When Song Yuxi went back, everyone had already gone to the ancestral hall. Mrs. Lin was sitting next to Mrs. Qin with her big belly, and she looked much plumper. In the past three months, the courtyard next to her was gloomy and misty, and she was the only one who lived well. The body is getting heavier day by day, and the belly is round. Not only does it not look deformed, but the whole person also has a feeling of roundness and jade that is unique to pregnant women.

Seeing Song Yuxi, Nanny Gui announced the beginning of the ancestor worship ceremony, and everyone stood under the ancestral tablet. Song Yuxi wanted to help Lin to stand at the end, because according to the order of entering the mansion, Lin was Jiu Yiniang, who entered the mansion At the latest, it should be last.However, before the two of them turned around, they heard Mrs. Qin take the incense stick from Nanny Gui's hand without looking back, and said:
"Just stand here. I have something to say later."

Ji Lan glanced at them, but she didn't speak. Song Yuchan stood beside her, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and looked haggard. She stared at the corner of the table in front of her, like a lifeless wooden doll .
