Refugee camps —
Niu Da led the young medicine boy back to the campfire on this side of the camp. His parents were being well taken care of by the kind old woman.
"You're back. I have something to do, so I'll go take care of it now."
When the old woman saw the family's son return, she brushed the snow off her skirt, picked up her empty kettle, and got up to say goodbye.
"Thank you so much, ma'am!"
Niu Da put down the food box and kept bowing and thanking him.
"Don't be so polite. We'll be neighbors from now on, no need to stand on ceremony."
The old woman nodded, waved her hand after speaking, and left.
Neighbors?
Niu Da was confused. What did this mean?
Niu Da's biological mother, Old Xu, coughed a few times and then weakly asked:
"Ahem, son, who is this gentleman?"
"Mother, this is the doctor's apprentice, here to treat you and Father. Oh, and this porridge too~"
Niu Da explained, then squatted down and opened the food box. Fortunately, nothing spilled.
"Porridge?"
Ms. Xu suspected that she had tinnitus and misheard something.
"Yes, porridge, Mother, please drink it while it's hot."
Niu Da helped his mother up, leaning her against their luggage, and placed the porridge in her hand.
Then, with great effort, she helped her father up, leaned against him, picked up a bowl of porridge, and brought it to his lips.
"Cough cough cough~"
"Son, son, I'm not hungry, you eat."
In his dazed state, even though he was hungry, his instinct to love his son made him subconsciously refuse and want his son to have enough to eat.
"Dad, I've already eaten. I drank some while I was in line. This porridge was specially made for you and Mom. It's free, you can have it all!"
Niu Da sniffed; it smelled very sour.
If only my second brother were here, he would be so capable, unlike him, who can't take good care of our parents.
"Yes, old folks, please drink it while it's hot. After you finish, I'll take your pulse."
Aze has seen many touching scenes like this, but he still feels moved every time he sees one.
Of course, there are also heartless people who only care about filling their own stomachs and don't care about the lives of their families.
Those kinds of people, the city guards would drive them away, preventing them from entering the refugee camp in Yunshui County.
To put it bluntly, those kinds of people don't deserve to live. Why waste food and supplies?
The family of three in front of us, who care about each other and are loyal and affectionate, will likely become residents of the Ninth Township in a few months.
Hearing this, Niu Da's parents were relieved and eagerly began to drink their porridge.
It's such a thick porridge. In the past, they would only cook such a thick porridge once in a long while at home.
It seems that coming to Yunshui County was truly the right decision.
Thank you!
Niu Da was very grateful to see his parents drinking porridge after being persuaded by Aze.
But right now, all he can do is thank you; there's nothing else he can give back.
"If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be the princess. I was just a worker who took the money and did my job."
Aze shook his head, squatted down, opened the first-aid kit, and casually offered a brief explanation:
"You all stay here and follow the rules. You'll have plenty to eat and drink, and you'll be well-fed and clothed."
"May I ask, what are the rules?"
Niu Da nodded, completely convinced.
"First, fighting is strictly prohibited."
Second, one must not bully the weak.
"three......"
"After you've stayed for three months and passed the assessment, you can choose whether or not to move into Ninth Village."
"Yunshui County originally had eight townships, but now, in order to settle refugees, the county lord has allocated funds to establish a ninth township. In other words, the ninth township is under construction..."
"Young laborers would form teams to chop wood..."
Niu Da was stunned, as were his parents.
In this world, besides Princess Jiang, who else would be so kind?
This is absolutely a relief for them!
“My son, Princess Jiang is a good person. We are able to survive thanks to her.”
"Yes, my son, you must be loyal to Princess Jiang and never do anything to betray Yunshui County!"
Niu Da's parents licked the bottom of the bowl clean, their eyes filled with tears.
Once they were full, they would be willing to die even if the princess ordered them to.
They've experienced hunger and despair, and they never want to experience it again!
Aze was used to it, and a slight smile appeared on his lips under his scarf.
I've gained three more loyal followers for the principal, hehehe~
Yes, that's right.
Aze was the youngest among the graduates. Because he was so young and had a talent for medicine, he was sent to study under the best senior doctor.
As a result, while his master was taking his pulse, this guy kept spreading good things about the principal.
If Jiang Yue were here, she would know that this clever little devil is good at soothing and inciting people.
In fact, the old doctor, the head guard of the city gate, and others all knew about the little guy's glorious deeds.
Since he didn't cause any trouble for the princess, we'll just let him be.
......
Princess's Residence —
Flower Hall.
After a few rounds of tea, Chen Xiuer became a little anxious.
Did her father cheat her?
What exactly was written in the letter?
Curious, she fidgeted.
A faint blush gradually crept onto his handsome face.
I'm so angry.
"This servant greets the Princess."
"No need for formalities. Is Miss Chen inside?"
"Your Highness, Miss Chen has been waiting inside for quite some time."
"Alright, give the order to bring in some snacks."
"Yes, ma'am!"
......
Upon hearing the commotion, Chen Xiuer quickly calmed herself down.
She's here! She's here! The legendary Princess Jiang is here!
"Squeak~"
The hall door opened, and she stood up excitedly, only to see a tiny little thing.
Oh no, it's the little one being held in someone's arms, smiling sweetly at her~
"Ms. Chen, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
Jiang Yue walked into the flower hall and closed the door behind her.
Chen Xiuer heard a gentle voice and then saw a very tender face.
As the other person drew closer, her heart raced, and it took her a long time to find her voice:
"I dare not accept such praise, Your Highness, please take a seat."
Oh no, this is the Princess's residence, what is she saying?
“Miss Chen, there’s no need to be nervous. Your father, Commander Chen, has already written it very clearly on his visiting card. I know why you’ve come.”
Jiang Yue saw this girl with a spirited air about her and smiled gently.
On the way here, she had wondered what kind of daughter Chen Junwei, this big and burly man, would have.
Looking at her now, Madam Chen must have been a beautiful and charming woman, right?
Miss Chen's face and eyebrows are very similar to those of Commander Chen.
But the other half of her genes is extremely delicate and beautiful.
“Your Highness is wise. Xiu’er is unwilling to be confined to the inner quarters, hastily marrying someone and becoming a wife and mother. Xiu’er does not wish for that kind of life.”
Chen Xiuer mustered her courage and continued the conversation, following the princess's words and frankly expressing her feelings.
What kind of life do you want to live?
Jiang Yue sat in the main seat holding her grandson, gesturing for him to behave.
"In response to the princess's question, Xiu'er wishes to..."
Chen Xiuer was a little reserved at first, but she quickly became more and more fluent in her speech.
After hearing these words, Jiang Yue was secretly delighted, thinking, "Like father, like daughter."
