Raiders Guide

The faint scent of sandalwood filled the side, and the hollowed-out carved tallow window was pierced with specks of sunshine, Yan Yushu was lying on the chaise longue by the window, drowsy.

Through the tallow window, the warm afternoon sun casts on Yan Yushu's porcelain-like face, his eyes are still closed, casting a beautiful shadow on the eyelids.The white clothes on his body were slightly shaken by the wind.

Dongmei took the medicine and entered the door. Seeing his appearance, she hurriedly called "Young Master."

Yan Yushu reluctantly raised his eyes to look at her, Dongmei came over with the medicine, helped him up, and fed the medicine into his mouth.

Yan Yushu drank the medicine in Dongmei's posture, and Dongmei felt relieved, squatting beside him and pinching the meridian on his leg, "Master, you are not in good health, don't worry too much."

With the bitter taste of medicine in his mouth, Yan Yushu looked at the fish pond outside the window and said softly, "I'm fine."

His voice was very weak, and Dongmei felt sorry for him, "Dongmei heard what Fourth Miss said to you that day."

Yan Yushu turned her head to look at her, Dongmei hurriedly said, "Dongmei won't say anything, it's just young master, this road was chosen by the Fourth Miss herself, you worry too much, it's your own body that's hurt."

Yan Yushu quietly looked at her without speaking.

"Back then, the Fifth Young Master left without hesitation after Young Master Qin passed away, and now Miss Fourth is the same, if you can't help her, will she leave too?

When Dongmei said this, the young master would definitely say that she is your younger sister, but young master, if the fifth young master and the fourth young lady miss you in their hearts, how could they leave without hesitation? Dongmei is older than you, and she will serve you later, you Dongmei knows that you just want to protect them, but you can't ignore yourself. "

"Dongmei really wants to ask Fourth Young Miss for you, if you fail to help her in the end, Young Master, will she be like Fifth Young Master and leave Young Master behind and leave?"

Yan Yushu's eyelashes trembled, and he turned his head away, without looking at Dongmei again, "Go and ask the doctor to prepare a medicine for me to refresh myself tomorrow."

Tomorrow morning, he was going to the disaster relief site, and at night he had to follow Yan Ziyuan to the palace banquet, so he couldn't lose his energy.

"Master, you, you should have a good rest." Dongmei didn't know anything else, she was only worried about his body, "The bruise on your knee is just right, you didn't feel well when you got up today, how can you use medicine to refresh yourself tomorrow? It will hurt."

"I know, but I'm going to a palace banquet tomorrow, so don't be careless." Yan Yushu felt tired after saying something, and closed his eyes, "Go quickly, I'll be alone for a while."

"Yes, Young Master." Dongmei was silent for a while, "Young Master, Dongmei has people guarding outside. Call them if you have something to do."

"Um……"

Dongmei packed up her things and went out, Yan Yushu opened her eyes and quietly looked at the swaying leaves outside the window.

The bureaucrats of the DPRK and China have formed cliques for a long time, and it is difficult to eradicate them, but they cannot be allowed to continue like this. The emperor is old, and those courtiers have been with him all his life. He can't do it himself, and he can't let the future prince Before the new king ascended the throne, he was hated by the court Chinese Wu. The emperor asked King Chong to step forward to pave the way for the crown prince.

A hundred years later, when the crown prince ascended the throne, he no longer needed to work hard, and what he got was a less corrupt court.

It's a pity that the crown prince is not as good as the emperor because he is only concerned about the king.

The emperor's employment of people can always make people profitable, and he can get the results he wants. In this regard, the crown prince may never be able to compare.

Early the next morning, when Yan Yushu's carriage arrived, sheds had already been set up at the disaster relief site, and the porridge was steaming. People cloth porridge, steamed buns, clothes.

"Everyone, don't rush, don't squeeze, there are all of them, there are all of them."

Lou Yan helped Yan Yushu get out of the carriage, when Cui Guanshi saw him, he dropped the spoon he was spreading porridge and ran over, "Master, are you here?"

"Yeah." Yan Yushu followed him, stood behind the porridge, glanced at the porridge in the pot, it was thick, and Yan Yushu was more satisfied.

At a glance, the refugees queuing up had dull, yellow complexions and skinny skin. Some of them had to be supported by others to line up.

Yan Yushu frowned, I don't know how long it will take for the flood in the south of the Yangtze River to be cured, and after today, how will these people be worried.

Cui Guanshi raised his voice and said, "This is the third young master of the Yan family. Today, the young master paid for the porridge, steamed buns, and clothes and quilts prepared for you. The young master is not in good health, so he is worried about you, so he hurried over to have a look. Please don’t worry too, we have prepared a lot of things, there are places for us to distribute porridge in the four gates of east, west, north and south, so that all of you can have a good Lantern Festival.”

After hearing this, the refugees who lined up knelt down and shouted, "My lord is a good man."

"Fairy..."

"Yushu is only helping everyone where he can, and he can't afford such a big gift from everyone. Get up quickly."

"Thank you fairy."

"Young master deserves it."

Yan Yushu couldn't bear to see their eyes filled with tears.Looking up, I saw a little girl leaning on the ground in the distance, looking at this side with her eyes, the tattered clothes wrapped around her body couldn't cover her body, and she was shivering with cold.

Yan Yushu took a prepared padded jacket and put it on for her.

The little girl grabbed the cotton-padded jacket she was wearing tightly, shrank her whole body in, stared blankly at him for a while, and said in a low voice, "Brother, are you a fairy?"

Yan Yushu smiled lightly, "Brother is not a god, why can't gods not protect you?"

The little girl is very thin, but her eyes are bright. "Mother said, don't be afraid, there will be gods to save us, let me wait, brother, you are the gods I want to wait for."

Yan Yushu suddenly felt a sharp pain in the tip of his nose, and asked her, "Where's your mother?"

The little girl raised her finger to a woman in the line, "Over there, mother asked me to wait a while and bring me some delicious food."

Dongmei came over with a bowl of porridge, Yan Yushu took it, the little girl stared at it, and quickly reached out to take it, but Yan Yushu didn't give it to her, "Your hands are cold, let me feed you."

The little girl ate the porridge that Yan Yushu fed her, and didn't even bother to talk.

As soon as the porridge was fed, the little girl's mother came over with the porridge in her arms, and before reaching Yan Yushu's side, she knelt down and said, "Thank you benefactor."

Dongmei hurried to help her, Yan Yushu handed the bowl to Chunyu, got up and said, "No need to be polite, auntie, eat quickly."

Dongmei helped her up, Yan Yushu glanced at the little girl and walked away.

We need to find a way so that these refugees can also have food and clothing in the future.

For the people who received the porridge, someone was carrying steamed buns, and each distributed a steamed bun to them. Yan Yushu walked up to Cui Guanshi and said softly, "Come with me."

Cui Guanshi followed Yan Yushu into the carriage, and immediately knelt down to Yan Yushu, "My lord, you are a good man."

"stand up……"

Cui Guanshi wiped away the tears on his face, got up and sat aside, "My lord, you are really the reincarnation of a god."

He really admired Yan Yushu, and he said it sincerely.

Yan Yushu asked him, "Now, how much money do you have on hand?"

Steward Cui was taken aback for a moment, and replied truthfully, "My lord, there are not many more. Although you have brought in a lot, the food you send to the border officers and soldiers every year, you have to add cotton jackets in winter. So that they don't have to suffer every year for food. There is not much money, and we just sent supplies and food to the border a few years ago, and now it is such a disaster relief, it is really hard to get it out."

Yan Yushu murmured, "You go."

Seeing his appearance, Cui Guanshi said, "My lord, you have tried your best."

Yan Yushu chuckled, "I will do what I can."

Cui Guanshi felt relieved and went out.

At noon, when the sun rose, it wasn't as cold as in the morning. After hearing the report from the servants, Ji Muxian made people retreat, and then said, "He really can win people's hearts."

Qu Zhuohua came out from behind the screen, and disagreed with his words, "It's not the relief provided by the imperial court. Now, there are porridge, steamed buns, and cotton-padded quilts for disaster relief. They can't be prepared in a day or two."

Ji Muxian sneered, Qu Zhuohua sat across from him, and asked him, "Are you going to move Yan's family?"

Ji Muxian was noncommittal, and Qu Zhuohua sneered, "You have a big appetite."

"Even if the Yan family is not guilty, I can make it guilty." Ji Muxian's eyes turned cold. "What's more, the things about the Yan family are enough for me to make the Yan family die several times."

"You can't touch the Yan family." Qu Zhuohua's voice was rare and serious, "To be precise, you can't touch Yan Yushu."

"Give me a reason." Ji Muxian squeezed a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth. "If Yan Yurong didn't rescue the one hundred thousand army back then, how could they have died in Yanmen Pass?"

Qu Zhuohua was silent for a while, "I experienced this incident personally, and I also know that Yan Yurong always obeyed and respected his father back then. I don't jump to conclusions about this matter. Are you a genius?" Asked something out of Yan Yushu's mouth? And sent someone to eat, now you want to move again?"

"Who knows if he lied to Gu?" Ji Muxian was upset. "Gu gave him food because Gu did ask what Gu wanted. Besides, I don't know how much Yan Yurong intervened in that year. How can you not touch the Yan family?"

"You have also been in the army, and you know in your heart that the military pay from the imperial court is not much, and soldiers at the border often don't have enough food and clothing." Qu Zhuohua paused, "Sometimes, they have to rely on tree roots for food. "

Ji Muxian also fell silent.

"However, in recent years, border guards have been able to eat enough and wear warm clothes. There is food in summer and extra cotton-padded jackets and quilts in winter."

Ji Muxian looked up at him, "Is it Yan Yushu?"

The man in red nodded, "Yes, now at the border, the army and the people are of one mind, and even the common people set up a statue to pay homage to him. He is the heart of the people of the border generation."

Ji Muxian pondered to himself.

"For the border soldiers and civilians, you can't touch him, unless there are other people who are able to deliver supplies to the border soldiers every year."

Ji Muxian threw the tea cup in his hand on the table, "Where did he get so much money?"

There are so many troops at the border, even the imperial court can't afford so much military pay. How can Yan Yushu, a scholar with no official and power, be able to afford so much military pay and food.Corruption can't be so much.

"Do you know about Floating Life?"

Ji Muxian nodded, "Well, you know?"

Qu Zhuohua laughed, "Fushengji sells some rare antiques, silk and satin, rouge and gouache, and specializes in the voice of rich and noble families. I am Dasheng, where is there no branch of Fushengji?"

"Not to mention Tongdai pearl powder, which are used by noble ladies, but this snail Dai, which is a tribute item. It is also found in the Book of Floating Life. I don't know where I got it, let alone those silks and satins, what kind of cloud brocade, Song brocade, Shu brocade, these, which are not things that rich people can afford. There is also a clothing store in Fushengji. There are all kinds of Shu embroidery, Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, and Cantonese embroidery. If you want to wear some new styles, you should go to Fusheng Clothing Store, and if you don’t look elsewhere, just look at the noble ladies in the capital, when you attend an important occasion, you don’t wear clothes from Fushengji?"

Ji Muxian clicked his tongue.

Qu Zhuohua continued, "This is just the tip of the iceberg in Floating Life. There are many rare and antiques in it, and there are branches everywhere. Yan Yushu is my rich man, but none of the money is in his hands. The daily expenses are all given to the soldiers and civilians at the border."

Just from what the man in red said, Ji Muxian knew that Yan Yushu was not a simple person.

Qu Zhuohua laughed as he spoke, admiring "to earn money from high-ranking officials and dignitaries, to support border soldiers and civilians, Ji Muxian, don't touch such a person."

Ji Muxian sneered, "It's said that businessmen are cheap, so they want a businessman to support soldiers who suffer hardships at the border."
