Chapter 177: Congee
Here at Yumen Pass, both sides were shouting in secret, and they were working hard to train the soldiers.
However, Shangguan Yu privately hopes that the weather will get colder every day so that it can freeze.
At this time, in the capital, Su Muwan ignored the cold weather and was busy working on her plan to rescue the victims.
This also requires the loss of the housekeeper Duofu to find out the situation clearly, so that Su Muwan would not be in the dark.
On that day, Su Muwan asked him to figure out who was taking care of the dowry shops written on the dowry list when he got married, and how much profit was made every month; the second was to figure out the number of victims who came to the capital to escape.
He had already touched both of these problems clearly and had not fooled them at all.
After all, he has been dealing with all kinds of people outside all year round. In order to purchase things for the government, he has accumulated some connections in various industries, so it is not difficult to find out these things.
Su Muwan's dowry shops and shops, and he found someone to check the accounts or something, but others would still sell him some face.
However, after finding out, the housekeeper did not directly bring these evidence to Su Qingyun to talk to Su Qingyun as he had said before, but handed the things to her as soon as possible, waiting for her to make a decision.
After all, he was still afraid that Su Muwan's words were just angry words, but he accidentally did something bad, so in order not to cause this result, he decided to discuss it with Su Muwan again.
Su Muwan looked at the bill in her hand a few times, nodded, and looked clear on her face.
As expected, the shops and shops written on her dowry are still in the hands of Su Xinai and Shen Yun, and their monthly profits naturally fall into their wallets.
I just don’t know if they feel it’s hot when they spend this money.
However, Su Muwan now knew why Su Xinai and her monthly salary were obviously no different in her previous life, but she was always generous to the people she served around and the servants in the mansion and was very generous to her.
Because I have money!
How come there is no money?
Su Xin loves her dowry but has not been included in the warehouse yet and has disappeared. Her dowry is still held by the mother and daughter.
Together these two portions, they make a profit of at least 5,000 taels per month. With such a large sum of money, Su Xiai certainly didn't take the monthly salary from the mansion seriously. She went shopping all day long and went back to the mansion to appreciate it.
I was pitiful at that time, I only had a few or two monthly salary every month, so it was inconvenient to do anything.
As for people now, they naturally have to depend on the direction of the house. The reason is for whom they are polite and secretly stepping on anyone.
At that time, Su Muwan was not favored by the servants, and she was not generous because she did not have a dowry and private property. Naturally, the servants felt that there was no future with her, and they must have gone to welcome Su Xin's beloved.
This is what Su Muwan was almost surrounded by enemies in the mansion. Not only was the girl around her loved ones, but even the little maid who swept the floor in the yard was bought by her and was ordered to watch Su Muwan's every move.
Compared with Su Xinai, this treatment is really a world of difference!
Whenever Su Muwan thinks of this, she feels like she is about to sneer. How could she be so stupid in her previous life? She never even thought of investigating such an important thing.
But now I know it's not too late, so I still have time to ask them to spit out what they have eaten.
But Su Muwan knew that it was not the best time, so she decided to put the account on hold first, wait for the right time before getting back the things that should belong to her.
What is the right time? It is enough to wait until everyone in the capital knows that she is doing good deeds.
At this time, I asked Uncle Fu to go to Su's mansion directly. Su Qingyun, who was worried about his face, would definitely give her a reasonable explanation. Uncle Fu would not come back empty-handedly.
As for the second thing to inquire, Uncle Fu also investigated it in detail and thoroughly.
The situation is not optimistic. Now there are nearly six or seven thousand refugees rushing to the capital from all over the country, which is a relatively large number, and many of them are bringing their children.
So many people flocked to the vicinity of the capital, and it was simply unbearable in some places.
Therefore, even if many people come to the foot of the imperial city, they still cannot eat enough and wear warm clothes. Even if they are desperate to beg, there will be a group of people competing with them.
So Su Muwan's rescue plan came at the right time.
In addition to investigating the number of refugees, Uncle Fu also thoughtfully compared the prices of each grain store and purchased a large number of high-quality rice and flour with good prices, as well as a batch of common medicinal materials.
Not only that, he also cared for two doctors from a pharmacy in Shangguan Yu's private property, so that they could treat refugees at any time.
Even Madam Ying repeatedly mentioned the repair of the house that day that day, she had already found a good job.
He thoughtful in this way, and even made Su Muwan feel that she had no worries and didn't want to wait any longer. She decided to launch her own rescue plan.
Su Muwan first asked the servants in the mansion to help and wrote a few hundred notice to the place where she wanted to enter the capital.
The notice stated that they had the time and location for free diagnosis and treatment of cloth porridge. Even if they didn’t know someone, they could learn about this situation after listening to others’ readings.
Then she selected several maids who were very down-to-earth and capable on weekdays, as well as Yinhuan and Xiao Liu, and decided to let these people do this chore with her at that time.
However, Su Muwan considered that the women were afraid that it would not be enough, so she brought a few more powerful servants, so she could suppress them if someone was looking for trouble at that time.
On the first day of the rescue plan, everyone arrived at the place where they had agreed to prepare the cloth porridge early in the morning.
But what they didn't expect was that they were already early enough, but they found a lot of people there who had already started waiting.
Looking at their thin bodies and their already thin cheeks, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, the weather was getting colder and colder. Seeing these people trembling with coldness, it is not difficult to guess that they must have come here to wait at night.
For a full meal, I was reluctant to suffer the cold all night. I am afraid that only those who really have no way out will do this.
Everyone felt even more pity when they saw their situation. In order to let them eat some hot rice as soon as possible, their actions began to speed up.
The ones who set the tables, the ones who set the fires, and the ones who wash the rice, after a while, several large pots of fragrant rice porridge were boiled.
Smelling the fragrance, many people had already started to swallow their saliva. Seeing this, Xiao Liu, who was slapping the fan in his hand even harder, and the fire became a little stronger.
After the rice porridge was cooked, the servant who had been reminded by Su Muwan had called him up.
"The porridge is ready, my princess said that from now on, everyone will line up for me, one bowl of porridge will be served, and the next one will be replaced after serving."
Then he thought about it and added.
"I can't take a seat at will. If we find out who doesn't follow the rules of queuing, there will be no share in this porridge today!"
When everyone saw that this servant was big and thick, he spoke loudly, so they naturally did not dare to offend him. They all lined up honestly.
Su Muwan took a few maids to serve porridge for the people in the queue, and treated everyone very gentle, making people feel that she didn't look like a noble princess at all, and she was very approachable.
What touches people the most is this kind of soft and tenderness that moistens the things, so everyone who takes the porridge from her is full of gratitude to her and even keeps her appearance in her heart.
Some of them were a little older, and when they saw Su Muwan holding porridge with both hands, their eyes began to turn red. While wiping tears, they couldn't help but feel grateful to Su Muwan.
At this time, it was a woman in the team's turn. She was holding a little girl in her hand, carrying a child around her neck with a cloth strip in her arms, and her figure was slightly slapped.
The three of them looked a little blue and their lips were pale. You could tell at a glance that they were hungry for a long time.
Especially the child in his arms, he closed his eyes tightly and breathed a little slowly, which was a bit pitiful.
The woman didn't know that Su Muwan was looking at her, so she handed her a bowl so that she could serve the porridge.
Her hands that stretched out were so hungry that the skeleton was clearly hungry, as if she was directly wrapped in a layer of skin on the bone, and she was as thin as she was.
Moreover, the bowl was ragged and had several gaps around it. If it were an ordinary family, the bowl was broken like this, it would definitely be thrown away without hesitation.
But this broken bowl was washed clean and looked very cared for.
Su Muwan sighed in her heart, took out a new bowl from the pile of things she brought, and handed it over with the old bowl she handed over, two large bowls of porridge.
The woman was a little surprised when she saw this. Everyone just now had a bowl of each person. Although she was with two children, she was still young and couldn't eat much. How could she give her two bowls of porridge?
"This is for me?"
She pointed at herself, her eyes full of suspicion.
Su Muwan looked at the little girl she was holding, but there were a pair of dazzling eyes on her gray little face. She looked very clever and couldn't help but smile at her.
Then she nodded to the woman.
"Yes, this is all yours. I think the child in your arms is still young and should be before weaning, so I specially put some rice and oil on him. The doctor around me said that this thing is the most gentle and nourishing. It will be no harm to let him eat more."
