There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Several provinces were hit by drought at the same time. Even if the imperial court actively provided disaster relief, and distributed both disaster relief food and drought-tolerant grain seeds, the problem could not be completely solved.

After August, a large number of refugees gathered outside many cities.

At first, officials in the disaster-stricken provinces were reluctant to allow refugees to move to Xiliang.

But in September, the weather started to get cold, and some officials couldn't sit still.

No way, it was already very cold in October in the north, and some places started to snow one after another. Under the circumstance of lack of clothing and food, the situation of the refugees dying of starvation and freezing will rise sharply.

On top of that, officials feared that the refugees would break out into civil unrest, and that the death toll could lead to a plague.

As a result, some provinces that were unable to withstand the disaster relief continued to hand over documents to the capital and agreed to relocate refugees.

Weiyuan Palace.

In front of the gate, Daozi quickly jumped off the carriage, and then ran back to the main courtyard excitedly. Before anyone entered the house, an excited voice came in: "Mother, Dad went to the academy to ask for leave for me today, and he said that he will be there tomorrow. Take me out for a walk."

Daohua was doing graffiti with the twins, and when she heard the sound, she looked up at the door, and after a while, she saw Daozi running in happily.

When Daozi came to him, Daohua took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then asked with a smile, "Where is your father taking you?"

The expression on Daozi's face was still very excited, and he said loudly: "Dad said he was going to go out to Xiliang, he said that he was going to receive migrant refugees. This time, he brought me with me, so that I could learn more. Mother, give it to you quickly. I'll pack my things out."

Seeing her son who couldn't wait to go out and see the world, Daohua's mood was a little complicated. As her son got older, he was no longer the little dumpling who liked to stick to her every day.

The complicated mood was fleeting, Daohua smiled and looked at her son: "What do you want to take out?"

Daozi counted with his fingers: "I bring clothes, shoes, toys, and storybooks that I usually use."

Hearing this, Daohua didn't make a statement immediately, and let the maid and the old woman look at the twins and accompanied Daozi to the wing where he lived.

"You go out by yourself, prepare your own things, and mother is watching you."

Daozi saw that her mother let herself be the master, and immediately went to pack her things happily.

Bring your favorite doll clothes, the fragrant pillow your mother gave her, and the treasure box

Daozi happily put the things he wanted to bring on the collapse, and it was full after a while, and then put it on the table next to him.

All the time, the collapse, the table, the bed, are all piled up with the things that the rice wants to take away.

"I'm exhausted!"

Seeing Daozi's exhausted expression, Daohua shook his head with a smile and gave him the milk tea brought by the maid.

After Daozi took a breath, Daohua asked, "Are you sure you have to bring all these things?"

Daozi nodded hurriedly: "Of course, when I came back, Jiang Huwei told me that when I was out, I couldn't eat or sleep well, it was very bitter."

Having said that, Daozi hurriedly looked at Gu Yu who was beside him: "Aunt Gu Yu, hurry up and ask the people in the kitchen to help me make more cakes that I like to eat. I have to bring them tomorrow."

Daohua laughed: "Do you know what it means to travel lightly?"

Rice was stunned, then shook his head.

Daohua: "The meaning of the light car is simple, that is, when you go out, you should try to pack as simple as possible and bring less things. Do you know why?"

Daozi's eyes widened: "Why?"

Daohua: "Because you go out, you will encounter a lot of things, and some unforeseen accidents will happen. If you bring too many things, not only will it not make your life comfortable, but it may become a burden to you."

Rice looked puzzled.

Daohua pointed to the delicate ornaments that Daozi was ready to bring: "These things were given to you by your grandfather, and it is hard to see them outside. If you take one out, it will cause others to spy on it. "

"When you go out, your wealth is not revealed. You can't let others know that you are a big fat sheep when they see you."

"The hungry wolf sees the big fat sheep, you know the consequences."

Daozi was silent, a little unconvinced: "Father will protect me."

Daohua: "What if your father is not with you for something? If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves. When you go out, your father is not omnipotent."

Saying this, Daohua just wants Daozi to know that he is in awe, and it is very dangerous to run wild without fear in the outside world.

Daozi thought for a while, then walked over and put away the things that looked more delicate: "Then I won't bring them."

Daohua nodded with a smile, watched Daozi cut things with encouragement, and continued: "We all have a purpose when we go out."

"Like when your grandmother and Grandpa Chu left, because they are returning home to the capital, they will basically never come back, so they can take everything in their courtyard with them."

"But this time, what's the purpose of your going out?"

Daozi: "Follow Dad to learn more."

No need for Daohua to continue, Daozi took the initiative to cut down the things to bring again.

Daohua nodded and kept talking: "Your father is on an errand, so it won't be too slow to travel, so you don't need to wear doll clothes at all."

"When you go out to prepare things, you don't want to bring whatever you want. You have to decide according to your purpose, the length of time you go out, and your destination."

"Think about it now, what do you want to bring?"

Daozi looked at Daohua, sighed heavily, and then made a fateful gesture. After all the work, only the small half-collapsed thing was left.

"Is it alright now?"

Daohua looked at the rest of the things, which were all necessary things such as clothes, shoes and socks, nodded with a smile, and praised without hesitation: "Daozi is really smart."

Daozi reluctantly glanced at the things that he had deleted, sighed in his heart, and played with his father when he came back.

After Daozi packed up her things, Daohua returned to the main house and began to help Xiao Yeyang pack up.

In the evening, Xiao Yeyang came back a little late, and the twins were about to fall asleep.

Thinking that he would not see the twins for a while when he went to pick up the refugees this time, Xiao Yeyang felt reluctant and played with the twins for a while.

"Why are you walking in such a hurry?"

When the twins fell asleep, Daohua asked.

Xiao Yeyang: "It's not that the officials of the disaster-stricken provinces are reluctant to let people go. It's been delayed until now. It's almost October, and October in Xiliang is very cold. It is necessary to pick up the refugees as soon as possible."

Daohua asked again, "How many refugees did the uncle agree to relocate?"

Xiao Yeyang did a silent calculation: "Adding up several provinces, there should be 100,000. It sounds like a lot, but if you get a point from a few provinces, you will get more than 10,000 people. There are not many people in each county and each village.”
