Chapter 125: Let’s Rescue People
Together There is an aisle more than one meter wide in the middle of the warehouse opposite the door.
The people in the yamen boiled hot water, and Wei Ruo asked them to make extra ginger tea for everyone to ward off the cold.
Then she wrote a prescription for the little girl who had a fever, and gave the money for the medicine to Hong Ping, the government servant who had just followed her, and asked him to help get the medicine.
Wei Ruo specially gave some extra silver coins and asked Hong Ping to grab a few more stickers to prepare. It had been rainy and windy these past few days, and it was possible that more than just the little girl was infected with the cold.
Xiumei rushed to find the nanny and asked her to deliver some supplies. There was a lack of quilts, food, and charcoal fire here.
Wei Ruo told Xiumei to change into clean clothes first when she goes to the wet nurse, and then come with the wet nurse.
Xiumei said worriedly: "What about you, Miss?"
Wei Ruo: "I'm fine, I'll talk about it later."
Xiumei: "But..."
Wei Ruo interrupted: "Go back quickly."
Xiumei had to agree. "Okay."
After finishing all this, Wei Ruo had time to ask Wei Jinyi: "Second brother, why did you come back early?" "It has been
raining for days, and I have a feeling that something may happen in Xingshan County." Wei Jinyi said.
The rain fell over a wide area, including Huzhou Prefecture, but the situation there was much better than in Xingshan County.
Wei Jin also probably guessed that Xingshan County might also be there, and because of insufficient congenital conditions, the situation would be worse.
Sure enough, when he came to Xingshan County, he found that the situation was very bad.
He was going to go back to Xiaowei's Mansion first, but he met a servant from the Wei Mansion who was out to buy supplies on the way, and learned that Wei Ruo was not at the house since he had gone out.
He then guessed that Wei Ruo might have come to the south of the city. On the way out of the city, he met a team from the county government escorting people from the south of the city into the city. After asking, he found out that Wei Ruo was still in the south of the city, so he rushed over.
Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo's wet clothes and said, "Follow me."
Wei Ruo was still a little confused, so he was pulled into a side room by Wei Jinyi.
This room is a utility room with a lot of clutter piled inside, but there is a clean chair with some clothes on it.
Wei Jin also brought Wei Ruo into the room, then went back to the door, closed it outside, and said to Wei Ruo inside the door: "Change your shoes first."
Wei Ruo looked inside the room. There was a pair of newly purchased shoes and socks and a dry towel.
Wei Ruo's feet were soaked when he was in the fields in the south of the city, but he was busy taking care of the little girl and settling the people along the way, so he didn't have time to take care of it.
Wei Ruo's feet had been soaked in water. If he left them alone, even if he didn't catch a cold, it would be extremely bad for his feet.
Wei Ruo sat down and while changing his shoes and socks, he said to Wei Jinyi outside the door: "When did second brother get these clean shoes and socks?" "
I asked Xiaobei to buy them." Wei Jinyi leaned with his back. Door, without squinting.
"Then how do you know what size shoes I wear?" Wei Ruo asked again.
A woman from a wealthy family usually has her shoes made to order, and most people would not know the size of her shoes.
"When you came back from the south of the city, the soles of your feet were covered with mud, and you left footprints on the ground." "
Second brother, it turns out you are so careful!" Wei Ruo praised.
Wei Jin outside the door did not answer the call, but warned: "After changing, if there is nothing going on here, we will go back to the house first. You need to take a hot bath and change clothes." "Since you want to go back, Why do you bother asking me to change my shoes first?" Wei Ruo asked.
"It would be better to change it earlier." Wei Jin also replied.
"Second brother, are you afraid that my feet will be frozen?" Wei Ruo said with a smile.
There was another moment of silence.
Well, the answer is yes, but the second brother is unwilling to admit it personally.
After changing his shoes, Wei Ruo took away the used shoes and socks in a cloth bag prepared in advance.
Even thinking of this, the second brother is really attentive.
After going out, Wei Ruo said to Wei Jinyi: "Let's go back to the house. It's not just me, you should also take a hot bath and change clothes. Your body is your capital. If you want to save others, you have to take care of yourself first." Body."
"Don't you still have something to do?"
"It will take a while for the supplies to be delivered, and the medicine will have to be picked up later. I can only wait here, why not go back and clean myself up first. "
Wei Jin also nodded. As long as Wei Ruo has no concerns, he has no objection.
So Wei Jin also sent Wei Ruo back to Xiaowei's mansion.
Wei Jin also saw Wei Ruo off at the entrance of Tingsongyuan. Although Wei Ruo ran into his yard and even his bedroom many times, Wei Jin always followed etiquette and did not enter Wei Ruo's yard easily.
After watching Wei Ruo enter the house at the entrance of the courtyard, Wei Jin also returned to his courtyard and changed his clothes and shoes.
In Tingsongyuan's room, Wei Ruo didn't have time for someone to prepare a lot of hot water for him to take a bath. In order to save time, Wei Ruo wiped his body with hot water and then changed into clean clothes.
Then he opened his regular medicine box and selected some medicines from a pile of bottles and jars to take with him.
The little girl may not be the only one among the people who were transferred to the Yamen warehouse today. Others may also be at risk of contracting cold or other diseases. These commonly used medicines are brought with them just in case they are needed.
Then Wei Ruo and Wei Jin reunited and prepared to go out again.
Just as the two were about to go out, Mrs. Yun, accompanied by her maid Cuiping, arrived at the door of Tingsongyuan and intercepted Wei Ruo who was about to go out again.
"Ruo'er, you can't go out again." Yun's expression was serious.
"I have important things to do." Wei Ruo replied.
"No matter how important it is, you can't run around outside all day long. Your second brother is a man and he can walk around. You can't do this."
Wei Ruo explained: "I'm not running around, I'm going to relocate and settle the people in the south of the city. With the weather like this, if we don't care about the people in the south of the city, they will starve to death and freeze to death." "The people in the south of the city have their own officials to take care of them
. , you are a noble lady, and hanging around with them all the time will give you a bad reputation." Yunshi advised.
"I don't think I'm doing anything bad. I walk and sit upright, and I'm upright outside. Etiquette is used in daily life. Now is a special period. Countless people are suffering. Any etiquette and rules are not applicable. Everyone should give way in the face of natural disasters." Wei Ruo stated his point of view firmly.
"Just because you think this way doesn't mean that others will think the same way. When the rain passes and the sky clears up, what you are doing now will be considered as outrageous behavior and attract criticism." "
Then I won't regret it then." Wei If your gaze is firm and unwavering.
Yun Shi frowned: "Why are you so disobedient? Mom is doing it for your own good and is worried about you, for fear of affecting you..." At this time, Wei Jin also spoke: "I must be saving the people in
the Shuihuo's father will very much agree with the eldest sister's approach."
