Chapter 185

The road from Wujia Village to Wuyang County has already started to be built. The imperial court announced the implementation of work-for-relief in some areas. Wuyang County is such a place. Although there are not many refugees coming in, compared to this poor and backward For a small place, it is already overloaded.

Especially after Li San's incident, all the big households who had pity the refugees outside to give porridge stopped doing such charitable deeds. They wanted to help a few people out of good intentions, but not to make people think about their own money. Come and grab it!

The life of the refugees is even more difficult. Fortunately, it is not a time of starvation, and there are mountains in most places in Wuyang County, and there is always something to eat on the mountains, so at least no one died of starvation.

After Situ Mao arrived, he put the work-for-relief matter on the agenda, and quickly started to implement it. This road was the first test point.

"That's the princess princess?" The women whispered softly while kneading dough hard to make steamed buns: "I heard that this noble person is doing the work for us this time!"

These steamed buns are prepared for the men who build roads. Naturally, they are not pure white flour, but mixed with a lot of corn flour, but even so, no one complains. White noodles can only be eaten during the New Year's festival, and the things prepared by the princess for them don't cost money, and they also add white noodles, which is enough for them!
If you are still not satisfied, you are just like Li San and others, you have no conscience!
"But I heard that this idea was proposed by Miss Lu Yin in the city?" Another woman raised a different opinion. She was in charge of lighting the fire and sat under the stove to add firewood: "I heard that those who are capable should take care of the men." Our rations were also proposed by that girl! You are such a kind person, when I get home, I will set up a longevity tablet for her!"

This kind of whispering can be heard almost everywhere. Wujia Village has started to build roads, and the people in the village are not idle. Those who can help will not be stingy. Anyway, it is they who are convenient after the road is repaired. Myself, the road has been repaired earlier, and these outsiders have gone elsewhere earlier, lest they have to worry about the beans in the field.

"Princess, it's obvious that you helped them with your money and efforts, but in the end, Lu Yin earned all the good reputation!" Qingluo was indignant, and the government's relief food was at best to keep these people from starving, but Want to eat?How about some steamed buns with noodles?Beautiful him!There are so many disaster-stricken places in the world, and all of them manage it like this, and the treasury can't bear it!

The princess not only provided food for those people to cook for them, but also called these women who were unable to work for relief to cook, and also took care of their two meals, which was their great benefactor, and I didn't see them say a good word, On the contrary, Lu Yin, who only talks about it, keeps talking about it every day!

"What's there to be angry about?" Ruan Zhixuan is not deaf, how could she not hear what those people said these days: "People are doing what the sky is watching, we just have a clear conscience and don't care what others say. Besides , I did this, and I didn't expect anyone to be grateful!"

"That's not what you said!" This time, even Qinghe disagreed: "It's your fault that you have good intentions, but why does that Lu Yin take your credit for herself? She doesn't know how to blush I can’t tolerate such a person, or else she will take credit for you now, and then she will discredit you, and when you are in the mouths of these people, you will be a villain who is rich, heartless and miserly!”

Ruan Zhixuan frowned. Although Lu Yin didn't deal with her, she shouldn't be such a short-sighted person. What's the point of winning people's hearts at this time?Disaster relief is the business of the imperial court. What is the practical significance of her family gaining such a reputation as a girl?

"Stop talking nonsense, let me tell you, it's a blessing to suffer." Ruan Zhixuan whispered to the two maidservants, and then carried the child into the house. She didn't get close to these working refugees, not because she felt that These people are cheap or something, she has a soul from the 21st century after all.

Taking advantage of this kind of natural and man-made disasters to gather people's hearts is something that only those who have the world in mind and have ideas about that position will do. She is just a woman and a mother, but she doesn't have such a grand plan.

Situ Mao came back from the outside covered in sweat. Recently, he took people to check the situation at the first site of road construction. The sun outside really makes people feel oily. He is also worried that those who work will be hurt. He could suffer from heat stroke, but luckily Ruan Zhixuan had ordered mung bean soup and the like to be delivered to the construction site in advance, which relieved the situation.

"My lord is back!" The two maids who were picking and washing vegetables hurriedly got up. They now knew the original identity of the princess and who Guoguo's father was. After knowing it, they struggled for a long time. To rob a woman from the prince, I have to say that the two loyal maids feel distressed and...excited!

"Where's the princess?" Situ Mao didn't see Ruan Zhixuan, she would take the child outside to play for a while in the past.

"Going into the house." Qing Luo curled her lips, looked at the women who were poking their heads over there, and deliberately amplified her voice: "My lord, you should also persuade the princess, that's not the way to be a good person. The bullying has come to the fore! It is our princess who provides food, people, and money to help the victims, but there are so many servants and servants who have not heard a few thanking the princess, but Miss Lu, who just talks and does nothing. It’s no longer a person who has become a Buddha of the Wan family, and it shouldn’t be like this to bully others with good intentions!”

That Lu Yin, besides offering relief with work, what else did she do?Even the work-for-relief matter, if it wasn't for the help of the princess and Mrs. Ye, it would be impossible to listen to Datian. Fortunately, she took away her good reputation honestly and bluntly.

Qingluo's voice was not low, and many people around heard it. The few women who were whispering before suddenly felt a little ashamed, and their heads almost buried their knees.

Situ Mao was stunned for a moment, there was still no expression on his cold face, but a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, even daring to take the credit for Ruan Zhixuan, this Lu Yin is really getting more and more crazy!
"Don't worry, I'll give her an explanation for this matter." Situ Mao nodded to the two servant girls: "As for the matter of the princess donating money and efforts to help the refugees, this king will report to the emperor, and the Lu family He didn’t even show a single grain of rice except for his advice, and he dared to deceive the people, this king wants to see what Lu Jiwang, the censor, has to say!”

So that Miss Lu didn't take out a grain of rice at all?Several wives who were still grateful to Dade suddenly changed their expressions, and gave a soft pooh with contempt.

Ruan Zhixuan was playing with Guoguo's wooden box, which was his favorite toy recently, and when she saw Situ Mao coming in, she just grinned in welcome, and continued to explore the secrets of the box.

"You look ugly, do you have heatstroke?" Ruan Zhixuan was more polite to Situ Mao in front of outsiders, and poured two bowls of mung bean soup for Situ Mao and Zhao Qin: "Even if you want to supervise the work, you should pay more attention to your body .”

Zhao Qin couldn't hold back: "The prince's face is pale because he vomited blood!"

And the reason for vomiting blood is the Princess Yong'an in front of her!
