Sometimes fate is so wonderful. The relative Huiniang is looking for, who came all the way from the north, turned out to be a villager in Baiyu Village.

This made Ning Yu couldn't help but miss the Zheng family brothers again.

However, the villager named Ning Yu that Hui Niang mentioned had never heard of Ning Yu. Now that Ning Yu thinks about it, in fact, in Baiyu Village, except for the brothers of the Zheng family, he didn't have much contact with other people.

Ning Yu felt that he and Hui Niang were very destined, so he wanted to take Hui Niang back to the house, but Hui Niang directly refused, expressing that he did not want to go with Ning Yu.

"Benefactor, you asked the doctor to help me heal my columella. I feel very lucky and grateful."

"But... I can't just leave you like this. Look at the people around here... We are all exiled from the north, and we helped each other together. Now let me abandon them and go back with you alone. I am really sorry ..."

Ning Yu looked around, those refugees who were poorly clothed and hungry were either sitting or standing outside the gate of the city, most of them looked at the gate of the city with hope in their eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan said with some dissatisfaction;

"Huiniang, our young master is willing to help you. It's not easy to take care of you. Why do you expect the young master to take care of others as well?"

"No, no, benefactor, that's not what I meant, no."

Hui Niang shook her head quickly, her eyes filled with tears, and explained to Ning Yu that she was not what Xiao Yuan said.

"Benefactor, I know that we will be in trouble wherever we go now, so I don't want to drag the benefactor, and I don't want to leave with the benefactor. I don't want the benefactor to get into a lot of trouble because of the two of us, so I still don't want to be with the benefactor. gone back."

After Xiao Yuan listened, he wanted to continue to say something, but was stopped by Ning Yu,

"Huiniang, I understand what you mean. Since this is the case, I will not insist on letting you go back to the mansion with me. Xiao Yuan will give me a signboard of our mansion."

Ning Yu gave Hui Niang the house number of Ning Mansion, and secretly gave Hui Niang some silver taels without letting others see.

Hui Niang wanted to kneel down again, but Ning Yu immediately held her back.

"Huiniang, when you find your relatives, can you give me a greeting of the Zheng family in Baiyu Village. I also lived there for a while, and I miss it very much."

After returning to Ning Mansion, Ning Yu wrote and sent letters to Baiyu Village almost every day. At the beginning, he replied a lot, sometimes from the boss and sometimes from the third, but recently he only received one letter of greeting from the third. .

Don't know what happened to them recently.

When Huiniang got married and went north, the Zheng family had already moved in. She still had some impressions, so she promised Ning Yu that after returning to the village to find relatives, she would definitely visit the Zheng family.

"Huiniang will never forget your benefactor's great kindness and virtue!"

Ning Yu returned to Ning Mansion because he was thinking about the group of refugees at the gate of the city, so he was a little absent-minded when eating at night.

After a busy day, Ning Ting sat next to Ning Yu, and Ning Yu didn't respond much when talking to him. Ning Ting waved his hand in front of Ning Yu, and Ning Yu, who was biting his chopsticks, came back to his senses.

"Ayu, what's the matter with you, why didn't you move a few mouthfuls after eating?"

"Ahhh, brother, I am eating, haha..."

"Ayu, if you have anything to say, tell your brother directly, don't be bored in your heart."

How could Ning Ting fail to see that Ning Yu was hiding something in his heart, what was on his mind was almost written on his face.

"Brother, I remembered last time you mentioned the refugees who came from the north. I saw them at the gate of the city when I went to the street today. Does the court care about them?"

Upon hearing this, Eldest Young Master Ning explained slowly;

"The five cities on the northern border were all occupied and plundered by the Pingyue Kingdom. Apart from the residents of those cities, the surrounding areas were also affected. I heard that the number of refugees going south has reached tens of thousands. The imperial court also temporarily set up a refugee area to take them in. , but there were too many people, and the refugees from the north went south desperately. Along the way, in addition to the chaos of law and order in various areas, they also brought plagues.

So now the imperial court has ordered that, except for a few major resettlement points in the north, all cities are not allowed to accept refugees anymore, so as not to cause more chaos. "

"What about those who have already arrived in the south?"

"According to the intention of the imperial court, let them go back the same way and return to the resettlement site."

"This... they have to go back after traveling thousands of miles, and they are not allowed to enter in various cities, how can they go back?"

"So, recently, some villages outside the city have been robbed by refugees, which is very unsafe. Ah Yu, don't go out of the city recently."

"But brother..."

Ning Yu wanted to say something more, but Ning Ting brought up another matter;

"Ah Yu, the imperial court ordered that now every city needs to recruit a certain number of soldiers, and our mansion also needs to send some of them. I have already ordered the housekeeper to do this. It's just that the Ning mansion may be a little noisy recently. If you don't like Noisy, you can go to another hospital to rest for a while."

"Brother, I won't go to another hospital, I'll just stay here."

When Ning Yu heard that Ning Ting asked him to go to another hospital, he immediately shook his head to express his refusal.

"Recently, I have to go out often, and I will return home very late at night. If you have something to do, you can ask the housekeeper. This is the key to the storehouse at home. If you need silver or other things, go directly to the accountant to pay."

"Well, I know brother. You don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself."

Ning Yu held the key and looked at Ning Ting solemnly, saying that he didn't need to worry.

In the following period of time, Ning Ting really became extremely busy as he said that night, and even returned home late at night because he had to go to other places to discuss matters.

Ning Yu was very sensible and didn't bother Ning Ting. He usually took Xiao Yuan and a few servants to visit Hui Niang and Xiao Zhu at the ruined temple at the gate of the city. He brought them a lot of thick quilts, rice and cooking He also found someone to repair the dilapidated temple, so that the temple would no longer leak from wind and rain.

Perhaps because the living environment has become much better than before, Xiaozhu's cough has healed up in less than half a month. Hui Niang saw that Xiaozhu was already healthy, so she stopped delaying and took her son Xiang Ning the next day. Feather farewell.

Ning Yu gave Hui Niang two tokens to enter the city again, so that they could go directly to Baiyu Village through Feiyu City, which would be easier.

Before parting, Xiao Zhu didn't listen to his mother's words, and hugged Ning Yu's thigh all of a sudden, shouting in a childish voice, "Beautiful brother, goodbye."

Ning Yu touched Xiao Zhu's head with short hair, and said "Goodbye Xiao Zhu" to him with a smile.

Hui Niang took Xiao Zhu on the road of seeking relatives again, and Ning Yu also started to go back under Xiao Yuan's reminder.

At the gate of the city, they were a little surprised to see that there was an extra porridge shed in the open space.

The woman who was serving porridge inside was actually Zhu Qingxia, Miss Zhu.

Xiao Yuan whispered to the second young master that the Zhu family has always distributed free porridge and rice to the poor on a regular basis, but they have never seen Miss Zhu come in person.

The maid next to Miss Zhu noticed Ning Yu and his party standing not far from the porridge shed, and quickly reminded her master.

Zhu Qingxia handed over the spoon in her hand to the people around her, and walked towards Ning Yu with her maid.

Ning Yu didn't know about Zhu Qingxia, Ning Ting and Master Zhu's forced marriage, so he greeted Zhu Qingxia kindly and praised Miss Zhu for her kindness.

Miss Zhu smiled slightly, she seemed to know a thing or two about Ning Yu helping the refugees at the gate of the city, she also humbly said that she didn't dare to do so, and praised Ning Yu's kind deed.

Ning Yu didn't know where she knew that he helped the refugees, and explained that he was only doing his best, and he couldn't help such kindness as Zhufu. If he could, he would also like to help more people like Zhu girl .

The two of you came and went without saying a few words, but only heard the maid beside Miss Zhu shouting;

"Young Master Ning, I heard that the wealthy Ning Mansion is also willing to provide some help to the refugees. I don't know if it is donating clothes and food or repairing houses and dividing land?"

Her voice was too loud, and there were many refugees and poor people queuing up to get porridge, and many people looked towards her.

"You man, when did our young master say he was willing to do this, don't open your mouth and talk nonsense."

Xiao Yuan heard the maid suddenly say something unreasonable loudly to attract crowds, and quickly argued with her loudly.

Ning Yu looked at the maid in a panic, and then at Miss Zhu.

But Zhu Qingxia didn't stop her maid, but looked at Ning Yu calmly, as if observing his reaction.

Ning Yu was startled, he looked at the gentle smile on Zhu Qingxia's mouth, took a step back, and a trace of coolness rose from behind.

Some people around have already echoed, saying that the Ning family has a great cause, so why can't they do something for the people like Zhufu.

Yes, yes, I wish the master and Miss Zhu are so kind-hearted and help the poor. Why can't Ningfu do it? Did the young master just say that he would build a house and donate fields for me? Well, why don't you give us a few acres first...

Master, and me, my family of thirteen...

Young master, young master, we just came from the north, last time you gave us steamed buns.I remember you, is the field going to be divided this time?

……

"You heard it wrong, there is no such thing..."

"Our young master never said it at all, it was the girl who said it just now."

"Calm down, don't squeeze, don't squeeze..."

"Master, be careful."

Those poor people and some poor people and refugees who heard the maid's loud words just started to gather around, complaining one after another, if it wasn't for Xiao Yuan and a few servants who surrounded Ning Yu in a circle to protect Ning Yu, I'm afraid Ning Yu would be at this time. Yu was about to be overwhelmed by the saliva of this group of people.

Ning Yu was anxious and angry, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't figure out why Miss Zhu's maid would suddenly attack him, and he didn't provoke her much.

Zhu Qingxia, who had already retreated to the side, looked at Ning Yu, who was helpless in the crowd, with a cold smile on her beautiful face.

"Stop it, you all stop it!"

Suddenly, a man on horseback passed by the gate of the city and saw this group of noisy people. He seemed to recognize a figure inside, and hurriedly shouted loudly to stop the group of people who were pawing at Ning Yu and his servants.

But no one listened to him, and they kept forming a group, telling Ning Yu in the middle about their suffering, hoping to get some more sympathy from him.

The man saw that his words were useless, so he took out a bow behind him, put on three arrows and aimed at the feet of the group of people.

Whoosh whoosh—three times,

The crowd who were still retreating suddenly stopped, because the three sharp arrows pierced the sand under the feet of the three people who were making the most noise inside, and they would penetrate their insteps if they were a little bit off.

Everyone looked at the man on horseback and archery at the same time, and Ning Yu and Zhu Qingxia also looked over, and they couldn't help blurting out at the same time:

"Zhu Yi?!"

"Second brother?!"

"Ning Yu, long time no see." Zhu Yi smiled and greeted Ning Yu as usual.

"Hehe, big sister..."

When Ning Yu heard Zhu Yi calling Big Sister to Zhu Qingxia, he didn't realize it.

The clever Xiao Yuan saw that everyone was stunned suddenly, and immediately winked at the other servants. After counting three times with his mouth, they immediately carried Ning Yu and started running towards the city.

After the others reacted, Ning Yu and his party were gone.
