The small county that had been plagued by refugees recently has returned to peace. The largest porridge shop has been set up on the bluestone street. Ragged people are queuing up with bowls in their hands, waiting. There is no longer fear and worry in their eyes, but a touch of joy after surviving the disaster.
They didn't expect that not only would they not be driven away, but they would also be given a temporary place to live and food.
However, there were very few men in the team because, at Tang Yu's call, they all returned to their hometowns and prepared to contribute to flood control.
Not only that, Tang Yu also promised that they would seek compensation from the court after the flood ended, giving these displaced families some hope.
These refugees left their homes, hoping that moving forward would give them more hope of survival. It was not until they stopped here that they truly felt a sense of security.
They were not clear about Tang Yu's identity, but they still called him "Sir Tang" out of gratitude.
The news that Tang Yu paid for the food out of his own pocket had already spread among the refugees. Furthermore, the beautiful woman in front, scooping porridge with her sleeves rolled up, was said to be Tang Yu's wife.
As they walked forward with their bowls in their hands, they looked at Lord Tang's wife cautiously.
Xiao Shaoyin had already noticed the gazes of those people. He had originally planned to wear a veil before distributing porridge in the morning, but then he thought that he was doing this to let those people know that he was Tang Yu's wife, so he gave up the veil and tried to choose low-key clothes.
But the strange thing was that those people's gazes did not make him feel uncomfortable, but more of curiosity.
Xiao Shaoyin suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, took the bowl with her delicate white hands, scooped up a full bowl of porridge and handed it to a half-grown child. The child blushed, as if wanting to express his gratitude, but in the end he said excitedly:
"Husband, Madam, you and Master Tang are a perfect match!"
He had also seen Lord Tang from afar. Lord Tang was kind and had a graceful figure. He was a perfect match for the handsome man in front of him.
In fact, he wanted to say that Lord Tang and his wife were very kind-hearted, but unfortunately he was not good at speaking, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say most, but instead said something obvious.
But Xiao Shaoyin was very happy to hear it.
He smiled slowly, unlike the charm that usually appeared in his eyes when he looked at Tang Yu. Now, there was a rare bit of patience in his eyes when he looked at this child.
He nodded in response, then quietly told his servants to bring some food to the child.
With so many people watching him, he naturally couldn't give it to the child openly. After all, everyone has a scale in his heart. What if the child was bullied by someone who was jealous of him when he was not around?
Therefore, sending it secretly will not be so conspicuous.
But the child's words instantly made him feel better. He continued to distribute porridge, repeating the previous movements with his hands, but thinking in his mind -
Children with sweet mouths should eat more.
Nan Jian was also busy on the side, but he turned a blind eye to Xiao Shaoyin's double standard behavior.
Ahem... As long as Shao Yin is happy...
After finally finishing a busy morning, before he had time to rest, Tang Yu passed by this place while inspecting the situation of refugees outside the city.
Nanjian drank a sip of tea and said to Xiao Shaoyin who was checking the accounts:
"Shao Yin, your husband is here."
Hey, when did he start to take it for granted that Tang Yu was Shao Yin's husband?
Nanjian fell into deep thought as he thought about it.
When Xiao Shaoyin heard this, she immediately looked up, and happened to look into Tang Yu's smiling peach blossom eyes.
Before he stood up, Tang Yu's warm, dry palm pressed on his shoulder:
"Sit down and rest for a while. Are you tired?"
After all, Shao Yin had never done these things before.
Xiao Shaoyin shook her head. She was feeling a little sleepy at first, but after hearing Tang Yu's concern, all the fatigue was dispelled.
Seeing this, Tang Yu couldn't help but start to reflect on himself——
How could you have the heart to kill this stupid fox?
In Tang Yu's opinion, Xiao Shaoyin is not really a smart fox.
The lies full of loopholes deceived the silly fox into opening up to him, and then he used the identity of "lifesaver" to make his career smooth. Later, when the truth was revealed, he returned to this small world again, and the silly fox still relented and took him home.
Now I roll up my sleeves and do something.
Seeing Tang Yu's genuine worry and concern, Xiao Shaoyin's eyes darkened, and then she smiled harmlessly and gently, saying to Tang Yu:
"As long as I can help you, it doesn't matter if I'm a little tired."
So stupid!
Fortunately, Tang Yu still had some rationality in his mind to complete the hidden mission, so after he tried hard to give up the idea of letting Shao Yin go home, he took out an exquisite peony hairpin from his sleeve like a magic trick.
When Xiao Shaoyin saw the hairpin in Tang Yu's hand, she suddenly looked a little flustered, as if something unexpected had happened that was expected.
He had long expected that Tang Yu would feel sorry for him, but he did not expect Tang Yu to take out a new hairpin.
So the usually astute Xiao Shaoyin looked at the beautiful hairpin blankly and asked, "Is this... for me?"
"Of course." Tang Yu nodded without hesitation.
Xiao Shaoyin looked at the beautiful peony hairpin. The bright red color was warm and flamboyant. The peony on the hairpin was carved so vividly that it looked like it would bloom in the next second.
Tang Yu gently pulled out the wooden hairpin that Xiao Shaoyin had worn with age, and used the peony hairpin to hold Xiao Shaoyin's black hair.
This is probably the ultimate color.
Even the originally low-key and inconspicuous clothes were given a new touch of color because of the hairpin, and the bright peony also completely released the beauty that Xiao Shaoyin had deliberately suppressed with the wooden hairpin.
Well, it looks really good.
Tang Yu nodded with satisfaction and hid the hand holding the wooden hairpin into his sleeve.
Ahem… In his early years, in order to be a good scumbag, he was so stingy that he only carved a wooden hairpin for Xiao Shaoyin.
It's a bit embarrassing to say this.
As the call came from afar, Tang Yu suddenly realized that he still had something to do, so he brushed Xiao Shaoyin's hair that fell to her chest behind her, and then said that he was about to leave.
"Wait for me to come back? Huh?"
A gentle and low voice sounded in Xiao Shaoyin's ear, and Tang Yu looked at him intently.
So Xiao Shaoyin nodded in agreement and watched Tang Yu's figure go away.
Just after Tang Yu's back completely disappeared, he touched the hairpin on his head in a trance, and felt that the delicate texture made his palms hot.
All of this seemed to be telling him—
This is all true.
When you were calculating and weighing every possible means to trap Tang Yu, Tang Yu showed you a little sincerity as you wished.
Just when you thought you'd gotten used to it and stopped holding onto that ridiculous hope, you're actually overjoyed by this bit of sincerity.
