Chapter 820: Hunger Strike

The steamed buns were steaming out, steaming with white smoke, and the rice porridge in the pot was getting fragrant. The hungry people had already gathered around. If it weren't for the people from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, they would have rushed over to grab it.

.

Liu Yunxiang turned around and saw that the Hou family was hiding in the shed eating steamed buns, grabbing one in each hand, looking extremely hungry, and even more embarrassed than the people outside.

The second young master still had some dignity, so he turned around and came back, sighing heavily.

"I didn't want the disaster in Beijing to be so serious."

Liu Yunxiang didn't answer this and stayed in his study all day, not caring about family matters and not knowing what was going on in the world. In the future, when he became a civil servant, he would only be an armchair strategist.

"Third Aunt, I took a closer look and found that every family only cooked rice porridge and steamed steamed buns. If our family can stew a pot of meat and vegetables, it will replenish the people's energy and let everyone know that we are

The Marquis Mansion has the most benevolent intentions, and after gaining a good reputation, the Holy Emperor will also look upon our Mansion with high regard."

After hearing this, Liu Yunxiang almost wanted to roll his eyes, "Where did the meat come from?"

"Do you have any idea?"

"What can I do as a woman? Unlike the second young master who has read a lot and is smart, he can come up with such a good idea. Please bring some meat and vegetables. When the stew is done, remember to leave a bowl for me.

I want to eat meat too."

Before she could finish her words, the second young master had already walked away.

Emperor Hui of Jin said: Why not eat minced meat?

The second young master said: Why not stew a pot of meat and vegetables.

Xie Lincheng, who worries about the country and the world, is not as good as the brainless Third Young Master Xie Linyu who wastes two more steamed buns.

Zijin came over quietly and whispered: "The grain store is open."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes lit up, "Has the government torn the seal? Is anyone making trouble? Are there any officials to maintain order?"

"I don't dare anyone to cause trouble again."

"How to say?"

Zijin scratched his head and said, "There is a plaque hanging on the grain store, which says 'The virtue of benefiting the world'. It was sent from the palace and said to be a personal letter from the Queen Mother."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath. She thought that Yan Mu was just doing a simple thing to help her, telling Jingzhao Mansion that the food store would continue to operate, but she didn't expect that he would actually go into the palace and ask for a plaque for her.

The Queen Mother has always been kind to the people, and her personal letter is more popular than the emperor's gift.

Of course, with this plaque, the officials would be wary of it and would not dare to set up a grain store.

The sun was directly south, and the officers and soldiers opened the wooden shelves that blocked the way, and the people came in like a flood. There were more than a dozen porridge shacks, and everyone went to line up on their own. Each person could only receive one portion, and they left after receiving it.

The common people rushed over, and everyone in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion also began to get busy.

After the old lady had eaten and drank enough, she began to perform in high spirits.

"Old man, slow down, slow down. I've been hungry for several days. Quickly bring me the steamed buns and put more porridge in the bowl."

"Little girl, where are your family members? Tsk tsk, they are so pitiful. Hurry up and get the steamed buns for this child. She is still young, one is enough."

"You strong young man, don't crowd the elderly and children. You are here, so why are you in such a hurry?"

Not only the old lady, but Mr. Xue also looked compassionate. At this time, she seemed like a Buddhist disciple.

"Amitabha, it's really heartbreaking to see. Please get two more steamed buns for this sister. There are children waiting at home."

These two are both capable of acting, and Xie Zian doesn't show any weakness.

"We are also very sad that the people are suffering from hunger. These grains and rice were saved by my Marquis Mansion and my family is reluctant to eat them. Don't be anxious or panic. There will be more tomorrow. As long as the road is closed for a day and the grain is not transported in for a day,

We in the Marquis Mansion can prop up this porridge shed even if we smash pots and sell iron, and we can only save one person."

This was said with great justice and emotion, and the people below applauded him one after another.

Liu Yunxiang almost vomited. Who are the people in this family?

At this time, she saw a little girl, about four or five years old, short and thin, who was squeezed out by the team as she was walking forward. She tried to squeeze in, but no one was willing to let her in, so she was so anxious that she

The person next to me burst into tears.

Liu Yunxiang took two steamed buns and waved them in front of the little girl.

As soon as the little girl smelled the aroma of the steamed buns, she stopped crying immediately and her saliva started to flow.

"You...are you giving it to me?" she asked timidly.

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Of course, but it's a little hot. Did you take the bamboo basket?"

The little girl shook her head, but she wanted that steamed bun so much that she stretched out her hand to grab it, but quickly pulled her hand back when it was too hot.

Liu Yunxiang took a small piece and put it in her mouth first, "Sister, feed it to you first."

"Sister, why aren't you afraid of getting burned?"

"Sister is older and can tolerate a little bit of heat. By the way, where are your parents?"

The little girl lowered her head and said, "Dead."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "Then who are you following now?"

"I live in a courtyard with many children, and my brother takes care of us."

Liu Yunxiang nodded and fed the little girl a few more mouthfuls, but she refused to eat any more.

"I want to take it back to my brothers and sisters."

Seeing how sensible the little girl was, Liu Yunxiang asked Jin Yan to find a cloth bag and put a few steamed buns in it for her.

"No, you can still come tomorrow. You can go to sister directly and she will give you more."

"Thank you sister!"

The little girl bowed to Liu Yunxiang, and then walked out happily. Liu Yunxiang noticed that she walked with a strange posture and a limp. When he looked carefully, there were blood marks where she walked.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly chased after the little girl, took the little girl into his arms, rolled up her trouser legs, and saw that there was a big bruise on the knee, and a large amount of blood flowed down the calf.

"Yeah, it's bleeding, no wonder it hurts so much."

"Sister, please bandage it for you."

With that said, Liu Yunxiang took the little girl and sat down on a stone nearby. He first found some water to clean her wound, and then bandaged her with his own handkerchief.

Jin Yanzijin and the others were busy. Liu Yunxiang wanted to pick up the little girl, but after trying it, she needed to use strong force. She was afraid of hurting the child in her belly.

"Sister, I can leave, it's okay."

Liu Yunxiang rubbed the little girl's head. When she was in trouble, a man came over.

"I'll do it!"
