Chapter 259 The Great Good Man

Author: Egret Ye Qilin

Nowadays, the only porridge factory outside the city is this one in the south of the city.

Every household in the capital is in short supply of food. Who can care about the victims?

Tens of thousands of victims set up tents and lived outside the south city. Yang Mu ordered people to inquire about Tang Yi. When everyone heard that it was the female Bodhisattva who was asking about things, everyone was interested.

Several maids asked about Tang Yi's portrait, but within half a day, someone claimed to have seen Tang Yi.

It is said that this young man generously donated money and saved a mother and son who were about to starve to death.

Some people say that the young master took out grain to prevent an exchange of sons and eat it.

Others said that in order to save a pair of twin children who were sold into slavery, this young man did not hesitate to sell the horses to pay back the money.

…

As they talked, the names changed from "that young man" to "that good man".

One of the victims who had just arrived this morning pointed to the portrait and said, "I know this kind man! Last night in a ruined temple ten miles away, he gave dry food to two twin children while he was hungry! I also

Thinking those two children are his sons!"

Suddenly, someone outside the crowd shouted: "Female Bodhisattva, female Bodhisattva! The good man is here!"

Yang Muxun looked around and saw three men and two children walking slowly on the official road in the distance.

The first person walking was a gray-faced young man.

Behind the young man were two more disgraced young men in well-dressed clothes, both holding a child in their arms.

The three of them saw that all the disaster victims were looking at them, and their expressions were very exciting.

The young man in front quickly waved his hands and said, "I have no food left!"

The other two young men in well-dressed clothes held the two children and took a few steps back, fearing that someone would come and snatch the children away and cook them.

Yang Mu ran over, looked at the three of them and asked, "Which one of you is Tang Yi?"

The young man in front looked at Yang Mu in surprise and asked, "Do you know me?"

Yang Mu's eyes lit up and he said, "I am Yang Mu, your cousin!"

When Tang Yi was in Ganzhou, he heard from people sent by the Tang family about the exchange of children. Naturally, he knew that Yang Mu was his cousin, and that Yang Fei, who only knew how to pout and act coquettishly when he was a child, was not.

Now looking at Yang Mu's luxurious clothes and her appearance that is very similar to her aunt, she immediately believed Yang Mu's words and said with a sad face: "Cousin! I finally found you!"

He took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened the three layers inside and outside, revealing a small smooth pill, and said: "Just to give you this, I almost starved to death on the road!"

Yang Mu stretched out his hand to take it, but Tang Yi immediately took it back and said, "No, no, I have to meet my aunt and give it to you in front of her!"

Yang Mu's mouth twitched, this cousin is quite strict!

"Daishan, ask Mahu to come over and let's take my cousin back home!"

"Why!"

After a while, the gorgeous carriage arrived. Tang Yi climbed on it hurriedly, followed closely by Yang Mu.

The two following guards put the two children into the carriage, and then sat on the shaft of the carriage, one on the left and the other on the right.

The carriage driver was squeezed in the middle and drove the carriage into the city.

Tang Yi almost collapsed on the stool with a bitter look on his face, and soon fell asleep.

The two children had never been in a carriage before and looked around curiously.

Yang Mu took out some dry food and water from the small cabinet and handed them to the two children.

The children were not polite and started eating.

The smell of food made Tang Yi wake up and watch the two children swallow their saliva.

Yang Mu gave him a portion in a funny manner. Tang Yi was obviously very hungry. He finished three steamed buns in three naps and wanted to eat more. However, Yang Mu refused to give them to him and handed a few steamed buns and a kettle out of the carriage.

Let the two guards eat some too.

"You can't eat so much at once, it's bad for your appetite."

Tang Yi also knew this truth, but he just couldn't hold it back. He slowly leaned against the wall of the carriage and said with emotion: "I haven't eaten in four days. I'm starving to death."

While he was talking, the Protector's Mansion arrived.

Tang Yi was in a hurry to do things and did not wash up. He went to Duobao Courtyard dirty and gave the things to Yang Mu in front of Tang's face, and then went to the guest house to wash up.

Because Yang Zhen and Yang Chengen had specifically told them before that the "Nine Apertures and Baitong Dan" needed to be eaten in front of three second-grade pills, Yang Mu just put the things away and did not eat them.

Mrs. Tang felt very distressed when she saw her nephew's embarrassment just now, and ordered the kitchen to prepare more delicious food.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of food in the capital, and even the Duke's government has already eaten up all the food in stock.

If Tang and Yang Mu hadn't stocked up on food early, they would have started to lay off their servants in large numbers and cut back on food and clothing like other families.

Nowadays, apart from the palace, only the Lin family and the Yang family have not been affected by the locusts and can eat.

After Tang Yi had washed up and changed his clothes, he turned into a handsome and energetic young man. Tang Yi led him to visit Chen first.

Mrs. Chen now no longer has the power of the housekeeper, and she is not so tough in her speech. When facing her daughter-in-law's nephew, she just said a few polite words and let him go.

Yang Mu was very satisfied with this situation.

And because of the locust incident, Yang Zhen and Tang proposed to bring Yang Chengen's old mother to the capital.

Yang Chengen happened to be worried about his old mother at home, so he sent someone to pick her up in his hometown, fearing that she would arrive in the next few days.

When the time comes, Mrs. Chen will be suppressed by her mother-in-law and will be unable to act like a monster.

After having a hearty meal at Duobaoyuan, Tang Yi said with a look of enjoyment, "I haven't eaten so full for a long time!"

He used to be just a young man. Although he knew that the people had a hard time, he didn't know how difficult it was for the people under the locust disaster.

This trip can be considered an experience.

Tang asked: "You brought back two children this time?"

Tang Yidao: "These two children are pitiful. They were sold by their biological parents for food. The buyer was obviously a prostitute. There is no need to think about the future fate of these two children. So I bought the children."

Speaking of this, he said: "When I go back, it will be inconvenient to take two children with me. How about I stay with my aunt?"

Tang also had this intention and said: "The family that adopted your cousin has a child who just needs two companions."

During this time, she looked at all the families in the house who had children, but there were not many that were suitable. Finally, there were two who were of the right age and personality, but they couldn't get along with Yang Shitou.

Tang Yi clapped his hands and said, "That's just right!"

Mrs. Tang hurriedly ordered people to take the two children who had just washed up to see Yang Shitou.

Yang Shitou usually ate with her, but today the child's maternal grandfather and grandmother came, so he went to eat with them.

Here, Cao Mudan and his wife saw that Yang Shitou had grown fat and healthy in just a few months, and they knew in their hearts that it was the right time for Shitou to come to the capital.

Later, someone sent two more companion readers, and the two elders were more relieved to let Shitou follow Yang Mu.

If you follow them, you will probably have to run around from east to west, north and south, and you won't even have the chance to go to school and learn to read.
