Qin Yining ate half a bowl of rice and poured the remaining half of the rice directly into the crock that Pang Xiao was holding. Then, he picked up the white porcelain cup and rinsed his mouth.
Pang Xiao frowned and said, "Why are you eating so little? Now that we have food, you don't have to be like before. I'm a man. I'll be fine even if I don't eat or drink for a few days. But look at how thin you are. "
As he spoke, he scooped some porridge for Qin Yining.
However, Qin Yining shook his head and said, "I really can't eat anymore. Maybe it's because I'm used to eating less these days. It's not easy to eat so much. We'll have more and more food in the future. Are you afraid that I won't be able to eat well? When I'm better, I'll ask Bing Tang to cook medicinal porridge for me. "
When Pang Xiao heard this, he felt a little better. However, the thick porridge that he had just eaten had lost its taste at this time.
He really didn't want Qin Yining to suffer with her anymore, but every time it happened, it always gave him a hard blow. He even wondered if he had done something wrong to end up in such a state.
Qin Yining saw that Pang Xiao was eating absent-mindedly. He didn't need to think carefully to know what he was thinking about again. She leaned forward and hugged his arm. She rested her chin on his shoulder and tilted her head to look into his eyes.
As soon as she came over, Pang Xiao came back to his senses. When he saw that she was clinging to him like a soft and cute kitten, his heart almost melted.
For such a good Sister Yi, he could make decisions that he didn't want to make!
Pang Xiao pressed his face against hers and finished the porridge almost fiercely. He called Bing Tang to the side and whispered to her to Qin Yining's body. Then, he hurried out again.
Bing Tang and Ji Yun came into the room and called Ziyuan and Smile to come in and clean up. Then, they chatted with Qin Yining.
"Wang Ye looked a little scary just now. It was as if someone had angered him." Ji Yun still had lingering fears.
Bing Tang shook his head with a smile, "Wang Ye is clearly worried about Princess Consort."
Qin Yining tightened his collar and smiled faintly. "He's always making a big fuss over nothing."
"How is this making a fuss over nothing?" Bing Tang smiled as he pulled Qin Yining's hand over and placed his finger on her neck. "Wang Ye's heart aches for a while when he sees you lose a strand of hair. He feels that he didn't protect you well. Now that you've lost so much weight and your complexion doesn't look good, you've been starving with him all day long. How can he not feel heartache? "
Ji Yun nodded repeatedly. Not to mention Pang Xiao, even Tang Xiu had secretly sent her dry rations several times. He had saved them from the rations.
When she thought of Tang Xiu, Ji Yun's face turned a little red.
Qin Yining saw that Bing Tang was checking her pulse and smiled without saying anything. How could she not understand Pang Xiao's intentions? But this was the current situation. Everyone was already very satisfied that they could survive. It wasn't as if she hadn't experienced a famine before. The hardship was only temporary.
Bing Tang touched Qin Yining's hands and shook his head, "Princess Consort has eaten too little and is worried too much. That's why she's so weak. You have to listen to this servant. Nothing is more important than your own health. Not for anything else, but for Brother Zhao and Brother Han. Let me tell you, if you have so much on your mind all day, you'll grow old very quickly. Don't let the children not recognize you the next time you see the two young masters."
Bing Tang was exaggerating a little. He wanted to use the two children to stimulate Qin Yining so that she wouldn't neglect her own health.
But when Qin Yining heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
They hadn't seen each other for so long. The children were still young when they left. When the world was peaceful, who knew how long it would take for them to reunite? At that time, the children might not recognize her.
What's more, their current situation was so tense that it wasn't certain if they could keep their lives. If something went wrong, they might not be able to see each other again.
Thinking of this, Qin Yining's eyes turned red.
Bing Tang was frightened by Qin Yining's appearance and quickly said, "Princess Consort, please forgive this servant. This servant was just afraid that you would be depressed. This servant was just joking. Please don't take it seriously."
"That's right, Princess Consort. You still don't know Bing Tang. This girl loves to frighten people. As a doctor, in order to treat people, they're afraid that the patient won't listen to them. They always scare people. "Ji Yun secretly gave Bing Tang a look to quickly persuade her.
She knew that Princess Consort was thinking about the children all day, but she couldn't show it in front of Wang Ye. It was true that there wasn't enough food in the disaster area. Li Qitian was pressuring them step by step. The situation was tense, but who could say that Qin Yining's worry and depression wasn't because of the children?
This girl, Bing Tang, was too reckless.
Qin Yining saw that the two were very nervous and said with a smile, "What are you doing? I know you're doing this for my own good. Bing Tang is right. Even if it's for Zhao ge 'er and Han ge' er, I have to be alert. "
"That's right," Bing Tang nodded, "There's still a long road to the south. If you're like this now, how will you have the strength to help Wang Ye in the future?"
Qin Yining smiled and nodded in agreement, "Next time, I'll try to eat more."
Bing Tang smiled and said, "In a moment, nubi will give you a few needles to disperse the depression."
The three chatted for a while and then took out needles and thread to do it.
In the next few days, Pang Xiao was as busy as a spinning top. He didn't just buy food from the nearby areas, he also planned the route to the south in advance. He chose the towns they would pass through on the way and ordered people to investigate the situation of the disaster, the situation of the local officials, and whether there were any people in the surrounding areas who were stockpiling food to make money from the disaster. All of this had to be clearly shown on the maps that the scouts carried.
Qin Yining followed Bing Tang's instructions and gradually increased her appetite. Maybe it was because she was more determined, her entire body seemed to be filled with energy. When she had nothing to do, she would take people to the porridge stalls in and outside the city to help.
Wang Ye paid out of his own pocket for everyone to eat their fill. Wang Fei, a beauty that was carved out of jade, mixed in with the porridge stalls every day to do some rough and tiring work. Sometimes, she would organize the men who had eaten their fill to go into the city to repair the houses and build shacks. When the weather turned cold, it would be easier to take in the disaster victims from other places.
The fact that Wang Ye and Wang Fei were doing this personally was truly moving.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining's reputation in the vicinity of Jin Gang was even greater than before. When people mentioned this couple, they would give a thumbs-up in praise.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. The relief from the court still had not arrived, but the people of Jin Gang saw hope for survival. And this was all brought to them by Prince Zhongshun.
"Wang Ye, these days, it is all thanks to you and Wang Fei. The people of Jin Gang have been settled, and the disaster victims from other places have been properly taken in and recorded. Everyone only saved a little this winter, but they will be able to survive. This is all thanks to you. If you are leaving now, this official and the people of Jin Gang will not bear to part with you. "
Magistrate Chen's words came from the bottom of his heart and moved everyone. Hearing this, the eyes of the surrounding people couldn't help but heat up.
Pang Xiao said with a smile, "This King is under orders to provide relief and cannot stay in one place. There are many places in the south that need This King. Magistrate Chen is a thoughtful person, and is very capable. He is devoted to the people and will have great accomplishments in the future. This King is very reassured to leave Jin Gang in Magistrate Chen's hands. "
County Magistrate Chen blushed from the praise. For him, Pang Xiao was a prince with a high position and authority, who commanded troops like a god, and who also had a noble character. For him to be praised by Pang Xiao made him feel even better than being praised for his achievements.
Saying goodbye to Magistrate Chen, Pang Xiao followed the original plan and left with Qin Yining.
But when they came out of the city gates, they saw the people as thin as sticks on both sides of the road. The autumn wind was very cold. The disaster victims were wearing thin clothing, but they all stretched their necks to look at the city gates. No one wanted to leave first.
Seeing Pang Xiao's group come out of the city gates, someone in the crowd said, "They're coming, they're coming." Then, someone took the lead and everyone knelt down and shouted, "Long live Wang Ye." Some people were so grateful that they couldn't speak and cried, thanking Wang Ye for saving their lives.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao sat side by side in the carriage. Hearing the shocking cheers and seeing such a warm scene, the two of them were very moved. At this time, the strategists who followed Pang Xiao also felt honored. They felt that following such a benevolent and wise master was the best choice.
Because Pang Xiao was already prepared, although the rest of the relief journey was bumpy, everything was under Pang Xiao's control.
But when Pang Xiao's group came to the next city, Li Qitian in the capital also received news from Jin Gang.
"He's selling the food himself?" Li Qitian angrily slammed the booklet on the table. "So he's showing off his benevolence and righteousness? All the land under the heavens belongs to the King. We are the ruler of the world. We don't even have anywhere to sell our money. How could he have any? "
Xiong Jinshui lowered his eyes and tried his best to reduce his presence. The other servants in the imperial study also lowered their heads, afraid that they would become the next target of Your Majesty's anger.
Li Qitian angrily paced back and forth. Tatan's war situation was tense, and Gao Wenliang was useless. The same Tiger Army was not able to display even a tenth of its strength under Gao Wenliang's command. Ji Zeyu gritted his teeth and persevered. But at the end of the day, the soldiers' pay could not keep up. How much could they display when they were hungry?
But Tatan had Lu Heng's support. Si Qin himself was cunning and cunning. With the addition of the fox-like Lu Heng and the financial support of the Lu family, this war was really too difficult.
"Xiong Jinshui."
"This servant is here." Xiong Jinshui could not avoid it. He lowered his head and bowed.
Li Qitian said: "Go and call Lei Guoneng and Song Deqiu over."
"As you wish." Xiong Jinshui immediately responded and rushed to find the two officials.
Pang Xiao stayed here. Qin Yining came to a new city. He found that the impact of what Official Chen said that day had spread far and wide. Qin Yining was a little worried.
"The people trust you and think highly of you. These are all good things. But I am still a little worried. I want the reputation, but I don't want the Emperor to be suspicious of where your money came from. What if he doesn't say that it's a treasure, but instead accuses you of being greedy all these years? "
Pang Xiao nodded: "These are all possible. But fortunately, Teacher Xie thought of a good idea."
"What idea?" Qin Yining was curious.
