I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

......

When Cui was asked the question urgently, an unconcealable joy appeared in her eyes.

After she suppressed the curiosity of the ladies with a few simple words, she personally poured a cup of tea for Lu to express her gratitude.

Likewise, she heaved a sigh of relief and thought to herself:

"Mrs. Fang helped me. It seems that she no longer cares about the previous incident between the master and the Fang family."

"This matter is finally over."

But when she thought of tonight's oiran wrestling match, Cui's brows furrowed slightly again.

This time, the sleeping competition was decided on their own initiative by the Cui family of Qinghe without consulting the Cheng family.

Things must be talked about, otherwise, the relationship that has just been repaired may be broken again.

Thinking of this, Cui stood up and took her leave, walking towards Chai Xueying.

"Meet Princess Changle, meet Princess Lekang!"

Cui's voice made the two busy girls turn around and greet Cui.

Cui said, "Princess, can you please move aside? I have something to discuss with you."

Chai Xueying did not comment, handed the porridge spoon to Lidong, and walked to a quiet place with Cui.

Cui said:

"Princess, tonight, the third son of the Fang family and the third son of the three surnames are betting on a courtesan wrestling match, and my family is also involved."

"But the Cheng family is unaware of this."

"If something unpleasant happens, please tell your Highness the Princess to Fang Jiasanlang."

Chai Xueying blinked her eyes. She didn't expect that Cui came here specifically to talk about this matter.

She was straightforward and cheerful, and said without any concern:

"This matter has nothing to do with the Cheng family. My husband will not involve it in the Cheng family."

But she changed the subject, reminded and tapped:

"However, Madam Cheng is in charge of the Cheng family's finances, so it would be better for her to not interfere with her parents' side in the future."

"Similarly, it would be best to persuade General Cheng. My grandfather has worked with him for many years, and they are close friends for life and death. There is no such thing as an overnight grudge."

"Let's set up a banquet, have a glass of wine, and let the past unhappiness go, is that right?"

Cui felt helpless after being criticized by a junior.

But Chai Xueying is not only a princess of noble status, but also a general of the third rank, and she is telling the truth.

Moreover, the fact that he could say this shows that Sanlang of the Fang family no longer wants to be at odds with the Cheng family, which is a good thing!

Cui took a deep breath and smiled gracefully:

"My lady is right. My master has the same idea."

"I've been thinking about setting up a family dinner these days and inviting the Fang family to come to the mansion for a chat."

"But these days, I have been so busy that I haven't found the time to come here!"

Seeing Cui's agreement, Chai Xueying smiled and said:

"That's easy to say."

"Let's send out the invitations first, and we can all get together on a free day!"

"Then let's do as the princess says!" Cui smiled sincerely.

Less than half an hour later.

Changsun Wuji's carriage appeared outside Mingde Gate.

Zhang Sun Wuji pulled aside the curtain and looked at the grand scene of distributing porridge, and was extremely shocked!

He murmured, "This, this, this scene of distributing porridge is unprecedented and grand, unbelievable!"

"The disaster of refugees that has been unable to be solved in all dynasties is solved as easily as drinking water and eating in the eyes of Fang Jia Sanlang!"

"This boy is so terrifying, he is a genius!"

Chapter 363: Dazzling Du Guiru! (The first day of the Year of the Dragon, everyone has a happy Year of the Dragon!)

At this time.

Another carriage drove over. Changsun Wuji looked at the emblem on it, recovered from his shock, and took the initiative to greet it:

"Brother Wei, you are here too!"

The serious Wei Zheng drew aside the curtains and nodded to Changsun Wuji, saying:

"Hello, Brother Auxiliary Machine!"

"I heard from the servants that my wife was giving out porridge outside the city, so I came to see her."

The next moment, Wei Zheng exclaimed with admiration and said the same words as Changsun Wuji:

"The refugee disaster that had not been well resolved by all previous dynasties was easily resolved by Fang Sanlang."

"It is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to have such a talented young man!"

The next moment, Wei Zheng looked at Zhangsun Wuji and said seriously:

"Brother Fuji, would you like to go with me?"

"You can do anything!"

The two men got off the carriage and walked between the soup kitchens. They also met many court officials, and their team became larger and larger.

After a stroll, they arrived at the seat of the lady.

"master!"

"Grandma!"

All the ladies stood up and saluted.

The gentlemen took their seats one after another, chatting and laughing, and marvelling at the unprecedented grand scene before them. They also learned that this time they were giving out porridge, which was deliberately concealed by the ladies in order to give the gentlemen a surprise after the porridge was prepared.

When Changsun Wuji saw that Madam Fang Lu was here, but Fang Xuanling and Fang Yiyi were not there, he could not help but ask:

"Madam Fang, where are Brother Xuanling and Sanlang now?"

Mrs. Lu said, "I don't know where my master is. Sanlang worked until midnight last night, and he should be resting at home now."

Zhang Sun Wuji said with emotion: "Thank you for your hard work, Sanlang."

"This time, Sanlang joined forces with the women to solve a big problem for the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty."

"You have accomplished another great feat. I would like to congratulate you, Sanlang."

No matter how dignified and proper Mrs. Lu's demeanor was, she never showed her emotions.

At this moment, when he heard Changsun Wuji, the head of the civil officials, praising his son, he could not hide his smile and looked quite delighted.

She said modestly: "No, no, without the help of you ladies, nothing can be done."

Everyone started chatting and laughing again.

At this time.

In the distance, a long convoy was coming, like a dragon, dividing the river of refugees.

The leading carriage was the Cheng family's carriage.

Seeing this, Cui smiled and said, "My Guiru is here."

All the ladies looked up.

Then I saw a lot of clothes and beddings laid out on the long convoy.

Now, everyone understood what Cui said about the preparations Du Guiru had made for the refugees.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Clothes come first. Although it is already April, spring is here and the weather is warm.

But Chang'an is located in the northwest after all, and it is still a bit cold at night.

It’s okay for those who are strong. They can huddle together for warmth, collect firewood and make a fire, and they can get through it.

But most of the refugees were women, children, the elderly and the young. They were weak and hungry, so it was difficult for them to survive the cold nights.

Du Guiru's preparations really brought more hope of survival to the refugees.

The convoy stopped and Du Guiru stood on the carriage.

She was wearing a water-blue double-breasted skirt and her hair was tied up with golden hairpins swaying in the breeze. She was so dazzling that she attracted many people's attention.

She said in a clear voice: "Today, the ladies and young ladies of all families not only provided porridge for everyone, but also prepared clothes and bedding."

"But the quantity is limited. The elderly, children, women and children will be given priority. Everyone line up and come one by one!"

Excited cheers rang out one after another!

"Thank you for your kindness!"

"Woo woo woo, Dalang, you have clothes to wear, we don't have to endure the cold tonight!"

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I will never forget it!"

......

Du Guiru does good things herself, but shares the credit with everyone.

All the gentlemen and ladies praised it endlessly!

Chapter 364: This matter is not over yet, don't report it to His Majesty yet

Changsun Wuji praised Cui, who was full of pride:

"Madam Cheng, Guiru is truly worthy of being the daughter of Prime Minister Du!"

"She did a good thing, but with just one simple sentence, all of our families benefited from it!"

"It's really thoughtful!"

Everyone also agreed.

Cui, who always paid attention to her manners and never showed her teeth when she smiled, could not help but show her teeth and said modestly:

"We all distribute porridge together, how can we do other good deeds and only get the Cheng family's share?"

This one sentence made everyone feel more favorable towards the Cheng family.

At the suggestion of Mrs. Changsun, everyone stood up and participated in the good deed of distributing clothes and bedding, which aroused the gratitude of the refugees.

Outside Yanxing Gate at this time.

Dai Zhou was excited after receiving the report. He looked at Fang Xuanling who had just arrived and said:

"Prime Minister Fang, your Fang family helped me out of danger this time. I am deeply grateful!"

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said with a smile: "No, it's just Sanlang's personal behavior. It has nothing to do with my Fang family."

Dai Zhou understood it instantly and said with great emotion: "No more words, I've got it in mind and I know what to do."

"Now, I will go to the palace to meet the emperor and respond to his orders!"

"Wait, this matter is not over yet!" Fang Xuanling immediately stopped the anxious Dai Zhou.

"Not finished yet?" Dai Zhou's face was full of confusion.

Fang Xuanling nodded slightly and said, "Rice is limited in Chang'an, and there are too many refugees. Even if we distribute porridge to hundreds of families, it will only be OK for one or two days."

"But as time goes on, there will definitely be no supply, and by then, the refugees will still be hungry."

"Besides, when refugees are hungry, they just want to eat their fill."

"Now that they are well-fed and have nothing to do, they are likely to cause trouble."

"My kid has come up with a plan called work-for-relief."
