Huayan left the North Third Street Hutong, and didn't go anywhere else, but entered the largest teahouse in Anyang Town.
Although Anyang Town is a small town, it is also bustling. Most of the guests sat in the teahouse, drinking tea and listening to books.
The three of Huayan came in, the storyteller was talking vigorously, the tea drinkers were listening to it, no one paid attention to them, so she took the two of them to find an inconspicuous seat in the lobby, and ordered a pot of tea. Tea, a dish of melon seeds, a dish of peanuts, and a dish of nuts.
The fifth prince didn't understand what it meant, what Huayan was doing in the teahouse at this time, but he knew that she must have a purpose.
The young man brought the things Huayan asked for, looked at Huayan, and secretly thought that this girl is really good-looking, although the color of the clothes on her body is not bright, it is very plain, but it looks like a high-quality satin at first sight, he has not seen her yet. Such a beautiful girl must not be a local.
Most people have a three-point enthusiasm for beauties. So he asked very enthusiastically, "The girl doesn't seem like a local."
Huayan turned her head and glanced at him. The young man was young, but he was very smart. She smiled, "Well, how did you see that?"
The little boy chuckled, "There is no girl as good-looking as a girl in Anyang Town."
Huayan smiled again, "You're right, my brother and I are visiting relatives, and we just came to Anyang Town."
The little fellow had seen the Fifth Prince a long time ago, felt extravagant, cupped his hands, and said in a low voice, "Miss and young master are visiting relatives at this time, it's not a good time, and Anyang Town is not very easy to treat now. Young master and young lady Be careful."
Huayan looked at him with a smile. This young man was very enthusiastic. She asked, "Why not treat me well?"
Seeing Huayan smiling all the time, the young man seemed to be a good-natured girl, if such a girl got into trouble, it would be bad. So, he lowered his voice and said more enthusiastically, "Miss, you know about the breach of the Heilong River?"
Huayan nodded, "I heard."
The little fellow immediately said, "Because the Heilong River broke its embankment, the flood destroyed Fengcheng and Yuqiu, and there were a few small places. Countless people were affected. They had no houses to live in, no food to eat, and no yamen. For food relief, we can only temporarily build refugee camps for the victims. As far as I know, seven or eight refugee camps have been built, and tens of thousands of people are detained in the largest refugee camp. One meal of porridge a day."
Huayan nodded.
Seeing that Huayan was listening carefully, the young man opened the chatterbox, "One meal of porridge a day is not enough for food and clothing. So, in desperation, many people have defected to their relatives. If there are relatives in the north, then Fortunately, people need to come from relatives to sign up for shelter before they can be taken away. But if relatives are not in Beidi, they are not allowed to leave Beidi. If anyone leaves forcibly or secretly, they will be arrested by the government , and put him in prison."
Hua Yan nodded again. When she heard the receipt of shelter, she felt fresh. It was the first time she heard that relatives who defected needed a receipt to collect people.
The little guy said again, "If you have relatives and conscience, you will come, but these days, everyone's life is hard. Half a year ago, the imperial court increased taxes by 20%, and it is difficult for ordinary people to live on their own, let alone We are going to take in relatives, so there are too few people taken in by relatives, sparsely, some people are taken away, and there are too many people left in the refugee camp. The day before yesterday, I heard that a riot broke out in a refugee camp, and the people in the yamen couldn’t suppress it. , The two sides fought, and many people died, and the people from the refugee camp ran out, ran to a mountain, became bandits, and went down the mountain in a blink of an eye to rob Lin County."
"There is such a thing." Huayan frowned, thinking when the imperial court increased taxes by 20% for the common people, she had never heard of it. She turned to look at Fifth Prince and Cai Qing.
The two were also surprised and shook their heads in unison.
The little guy showed a sad face, "The Lin County is close to Pingyang Town, maybe those refugees will come to Anyang Town after eating the food they robbed from Lin County in the past two days. That's why the young man reminded the young master and the girl to be careful. "
Huayan suddenly realized that it was so. She thanked, "Thank you, little brother." After saying that, she signaled Caiqing to give her a reward.
Cai Qing immediately took out a piece of silver and handed it to the boy, "Thank you, brother, this is my girl's reward for you."
The little guy originally looked at Huayan’s beautiful face, so he said a few more words, but he didn’t expect to get such a big
