Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 464 Refugees
The rain was heavier than expected and lasted longer than expected.

It went off and on for seven days before stopping.

For the past seven days, Ming concubine stayed in Chen Xiangxuan, occasionally went to the backyard, and sometimes stayed for a whole day, and even ate meals in the backyard pharmacy.

After the rain, the sky is clear, the sky is as blue as washing, blue as jade, and there is no trace of flaws.

The weather is so fine, Xi'er said cheerfully, "Concubine Shizi, the weather is so fine, let's go for a walk in the garden?"

Ming concubine laughed, "It rained so hard this time, the flowers in the garden were probably smashed to pieces. There's nothing to see. The weather is so good, we should go shopping."

She hasn't gone shopping well yet. In the past, Chu Mochen had trouble with his legs and feet, so she didn't make things difficult for him. Now that he has stood up, the street says that he is lame. Although he explained it, not many people believe it.

I just went out for a walk and cleared up the rumors.

Ming concubine went to the study to find Chu Mochen, and said, "The weather is so nice, why don't you go shopping in the street?"

"Aren't you afraid of another accident?" Chu Mochen looked at her.

Ming concubine rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Could it be that I can't go shopping in my life?"

She is afraid of accidents, but if she doesn't go shopping for the rest of her life, she will be suffocated to death.

Ming concubine never made any request to Chu Mochen, and it was a simple request to go shopping with her. Chu Mochen couldn't bear to refuse her, but he still refused, "Let's wait a few days."

"In a few days, we can guarantee that there will be no accidents?" Ming concubine stared at Chu Mochen's eyes and said.

After almost falling off the cliff last time, she understood that as long as the enemy is not wiped out for a day, accidents may happen at any time.

Chu Mochen stretched out his hand and hugged Concubine Ming, sitting in his arms, and said, "In a few days, there will be no more refugees on the street, so I'll take you there again."

"Refugees?" Ming concubine was a little surprised.

She never thought that Chu Mochen didn't take her out shopping because of refugees.

Chu Mochen nodded, "There was a flood in the Licheng area, and countless people were affected. Because it is only two hundred miles away from the capital, the refugees went to the capital to survive, and the streets are very chaotic at the moment."

Originally, it was very easy for Ming concubine to recruit people when she went out, not to mention that there were many refugees on the street, if someone with a heart mixed in with the refugees, it would be hard to guard against.

It was rare for Ming Concubine to want to go to the streets, but was strangled in the cradle by the refugees.

Thinking of those refugees who were displaced and left their homes, even though I didn't see them with my own eyes, I couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

Ming concubine is not a troublesome person, it is not suitable for her to go out on the street, of course she will not go, so she dismissed the idea.

Chu Mochen hugged her tightly, and Ming concubine wanted to get up, but he refused to let her.

There was a knock on the door, and Xi'er said, "Concubine Shizi, the old lady asked you to go to Changhui Courtyard."

Chu Mochen let go of his arms reluctantly, Ming concubine straightened her skirt a little, and left the study.

Along the way, she was thinking about why the old lady asked her to go to Changhui Courtyard. It wouldn't be because of the good weather that she didn't go to pay her respects in time, but she felt that she was urged to find a quack doctor to treat gray hair for Princess Langhuan as soon as possible. More likely.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the door, she heard the eldest lady ask her, "Is there no news from the charlatan?"

Mingyu shook her head, "No."

In fact, she was quite puzzled, they had such a good relationship with Princess Langhuan, didn't Princess Langhuan tell them all about how her three thousand black hairs turned gray, or were they all pretending to be confused?
Ming concubine was still distracted, but the old lady said, "In the past two days, there have been many refugees on the street. Yu'er proposed to give porridge to help those refugees. If you are free, you can go with them."

Giving porridge to disaster relief is a good thing, and of course my concubine would not refuse. She asked, "Where do you give porridge?"

Chu Yu raised her eyebrows, "Is the fourth sister-in-law afraid of accidents when she leaves the house?"

"A little bit, but giving porridge to disaster relief is a good thing," Ming concubine said truthfully.

Chu Yu smiled and said, "It's at the back door of the palace."

Ming concubine frowned, "Do you just serve porridge outside the palace?"

"What's wrong?" Chu Yu frowned.

Ming Yu said, "It's not a good thing for refugees to enter the city. Giving porridge in the inner city will undoubtedly attract them. The palace should not give porridge for three meals a day. The most suitable place to give porridge is outside the city. "

Refugees are a pity, but also a fearful group.

People are on the verge of death, and it is possible to do anything, and there are many refugees. In case of riots, it is not good for the court to suppress or not.

Suppress it, it doesn't take the life and death of refugees seriously, and it will anger them even more.

Don't suppress them, that's pampering them, if they are used by those who want to, there will be big troubles.

Giving porridge is doing good deeds, not doing bad things with good intentions and adding chaos to the court.

The old lady was fiddling with the Buddhist beads, she looked at the concubine with some consideration in her eyes, and said, "The concubine Shizi is right, once the porridge and steamed buns are cooked in the big kitchen, you can go out of the city to serve the porridge, pay attention to safety."

Minnie nodded.

Thinking that her clothes were not suitable for rough work, she resigned and returned to Chen Xiangxuan.

As soon as she walked to the screen, she heard the eldest lady laughing, "Before it rained, Concubine Sun Guifei summoned me to enter the palace. Now that the sky is clear, I will go into the palace."

The third wife raised her eyebrows, "Didn't sister-in-law enter the palace before it rained?"

The eldest wife smiled, but said nothing, and the third wife said again, "Could it be an answer?"

Chu Yu's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

The eldest wife stepped back and hurried into the palace.

Let me explain to you again. After returning to Chen Xiangxuan, Chu Mochen stood under the corridor and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

"I'm going to give porridge outside the city in a while, will you go?" Ming concubine asked as she stepped up the steps.

"I'll go too," Chu Mochen said worriedly.

Ming concubine asked Xi'er to choose some more convenient clothes for her. She wore a luxurious dress. Among the refugees, she stood out from the crowd and was a target. She didn't like to show off.

What's more, the skirt that dragged the floor and the wide cloud sleeves made it troublesome for her to write, let alone give out porridge.

It's just that Xi'er rummaged through the boxes and cabinets for a long time, and then told her, "There is no clothes that Shi Zifei wants."

Ming concubine looked at Chu Mochen depressedly, "Can I wear men's clothing?"

Chu Mochen had black lines on his face.

But I have to say, this is someone who really wants to give alms, not those who pretend to be good for a good reputation.

He grabbed Ming Concubine's nose, shook his head and said, "You didn't go alone, of course not."

What a hassle.

Is it a big deal if we go together?

Xi'er said, "The concubine is afraid of getting her clothes dirty, so why don't the servants help you with the porridge?"

Ming concubine rolled her eyes and asked her to help with the porridge. Does she still need to go outside the city? Finally, she looked at Xi'er, her eyes lit up and she said, "Give me a set of your clothes, won't it be enough?"

Xi'er, "..."

She silently looked at Chu Mochen and asked him to take care of the concubine Shi Zi. Chu Mochen held his forehead, "Go and get it."

Xi'er went to get a new set of clothes that she hadn't worn yet, and she was a little bit careful when she gave them to concubine Ming.

Ming concubine laughed, "Come on tomorrow and make you two new ones."

Xi'er grinned.
