It was daylight, and noisy sounds began to be heard outside the city gate not far away.
The Shen family members were also awakened by the sound.
They didn't set up a tent last night, but slept on the ground as before.
So after waking up, I quickly packed up, rolled up the quilts and mats on the floor, put them on the trolley, and started talking and eating.
They had discussed it last night and asked Shen Yuyu, Shen Rong, Fei Yanche and Bai Wu to go into the city to buy things together today.
After simply eating something, everyone pulled their things closer to the city gate.
Sure enough, as Mr. Shen and the others learned yesterday, as soon as dawn broke, people in the city came out to prepare porridge.
Shen Yuyu and others looked in the direction of the city gate to see what was going on.
The city gate was opened a crack, and a row of officers and soldiers stood guard outside.
This is to prevent someone from causing trouble, and also to prevent someone from taking advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard from the city gate, the city gate opened wider, and a well-dressed carriage was driven out.
At the same time, there were dozens of servants surrounding the carriage, guarding the carriage tightly to prevent anyone from bumping into the people on the carriage.
As soon as the carriage came out, many refugees waiting outside the city gate surrounded it.
A man who looked like a guard looked at the dirty refugees gathered around him with disgust, and said loudly: "Give way, give way, get out of the way, if the porridge is spilled, none of you will be able to eat it." !”
As expected, the refugees all moved back a little, but they still wanted to get closer to the carriage so they could have the first bowl of porridge, so the carriage was still unable to move forward and was blocked at the city gate.
Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage was opened by a delicate hand, revealing a picture of a beautiful young woman.
The next moment there was a pleasant voice.
"Everyone, please give way first and don't crowd. Don't worry, everyone can have porridge."
After saying that, he smiled at the crowd, and the crowd immediately started shouting: "It's Miss Meng. Miss Meng is here to give us porridge."
Sitting in the carriage was Meng Yuening, the legitimate daughter of the second eldest daughter of the Meng family, a well-known medical family in the Wei Dynasty.
Meng Yuening came to Dashan County a few days ago with people from the Meng family's eldest house. She knew that the Meng family was giving porridge outside the city, so she invited herself over.
Because he is kind-hearted and does not show contempt for the refugees outside the city, he has won a lot of good reputation here.
The crowd moved back a little, and the carriage was finally able to move normally.
The servant who drove the carriage drove the carriage to a stop at the foot of the city wall. Then, after a maid got out of the carriage, Meng Yuening supported the maid's hand and got out.
The servants had already moved several large buckets of porridge to the ground and put them away.
Meng Yuening looked at the noisy crowd and noticed an unpleasant stench. She wrinkled her nose in disgust, but she quickly managed her expression.
She smiled warmly and said: "Everyone line up and come one by one, everyone will have porridge."
However, most of these refugees had been hungry for the whole day, and their last meal was soup from yesterday morning's porridge. Meng Yuening's words did not have much effect at all.
In the end, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate helped the Meng Mansion's servants to stop the noisy crowd.
Meng Yuening personally served the porridge for the refugees. Every refugee who took the porridge from her hands would praise her for her kindness and kindness.
Meng Yuening's anger at having to endure the unpleasant smell and having to personally serve these low-class refugees dissipated a little.
However, she just helped the first few refugees in line to serve porridge to show off, and then handed the big spoon in her hand to a boy next to her.
One of the maids sent by Master Meng was relieved when she saw that the eldest lady Meng Yuening finally gave the spoon to the servant.
There are thousands of refugees outside the city. No matter how rich the Sheng family is, they can't afford to give out porridge like this!
Judging from the way the lady was serving the porridge, half of the people must have died before they even drank the contents of the porridge.
The people below were just giving porridge to the refugees outside the city, and the Shen family didn't go there to join in the fun.
Shen Yuyu looked at Meng Yuening, who was pretending to be gentle and kind while serving porridge among the refugees, and then looked at Bai Miao, who was gentle and gentle along the way, and washed her eyes.
Bai Miaoqing was amused by Shen Yuxi's winking and looking at her. He tapped the tip of her nose and asked, "What do you think I'm doing?"
"Sister Miaoqing is a great beauty, I'll take a few more looks to wash my eyes." Shen Yue said with a smile.
Mrs. Song looked at Shen Yuyu and others who were about to set off for the city, and packed up the four empty backpacks.
She warned Shen Yuyu: "If you go to the city to buy something, come back quickly."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Rong and said: "After entering the city, keep an eye on your daughter. Life is not stable right now. Don't let her get away and don't let others bully her."
Shen Rong nodded in agreement, and Shen Dalang smiled and answered: "Mom, don't worry, even if my father is bullied, my sister will not be bullied."
Everyone else also laughed happily.
According to Shen Yuyu's ability, very few people can bully her.
Shen Yuyu also told those who stayed to take care of the children at home and not to go to the city gate.
After all, this is a special period, and they are carrying so much food, which is a bit eye-catching.
Shen Yuyu and the other four people who were going to the city each carried a backpack on their backs. Even if they bought something, they would not be so conspicuous when they came back. Even Fei Yanche was no exception.
Ji Xun looked at the dignified prince of Wuding carrying such a down-to-earth backpack, and snorted arrogantly, not envying him for being able to go to the city.
At this time, the porridge-giving team at the city gate was still going on, and some people came out one after another from the city gate.
Shen Yuyu and the others carried baskets on their backs and headed towards the city gate.
As soon as he reached the city gate, Shen Yuyu was about to take out the money from his pocket when he bumped into a woman dressed in a gorgeous dress.
The woman looked older than Song. She had wrinkles on her face that could not be covered up even after using several layers of powder. She also smelled of low-quality powder.
Shen Yuyu smelled such a pungent fragrance, bent over and sneezed heavily.
Just as she was about to raise her head, she saw a pair of hands with long nails reaching towards her face. Shen Yue quickly leaned back to avoid it.
Shen Yuyu looked at the gorgeously dressed woman in front of him in shock.
