Rong Jin raised his head and looked at the small signboard on the large wooden fence with the words "Xiaoyaofang" written on it.
"This is..." Rong Jin looked at the plaque and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Prince, just follow Zhao Yu in." Zhao Yu opened his mouth and made a gesture of asking for words.
Rong Jin regained his surprised expression, turned around and followed Zhao Yu in.
Everyone in Xiaoyaofang recognized Zhaoyu. When they saw Zhaoyu coming, they all put down their work and walked over. They followed Zhaoyu with a smile and said hello, "Is Miss Zhaoyu here?"
"Well, I brought someone here today, sent by the second lady, to see if there is anything else you need help with. Let him come and take a look, because this brother's face was burned by a fire when he was young, so I brought him
Wearing a mask, I'm afraid I might scare you, so don't worry." Zhao Yu responded and pointed at Rong Jin who was standing next to her. Rong Jin nodded to them, and the man smiled a little reservedly.
"Look...Second Miss taking us in is already the best gift. Not only does she give us food, clothing and shelter, but she also often comes to ask for help...I'm so embarrassed."
"It's okay. Can't you just repay us in the future?" Zhao Yu joked with a smile, and the other party nodded and said, "Yeah, it's necessary. We will definitely repay the second lady for her kindness to us in the future."
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. I'll go in and show him around first."
"Chengchengcheng..."

Rong Jin followed Zhao Yu forward. Everyone here recognized Zhao Yu. When they saw her coming, they smiled at her or exchanged a few words with her.
Rong Jin remained silent the whole time, looking at the people's clothes and so on. They were basically ordinary people, and there were even a few people whose limbs were probably mutilated due to trauma. There were old and young, men and women.
The women are all mixed up, and they don't look like relatives at all, but they have a connection like family members.
"Actually, these people were all picked up by the second lady on the road, or else they were sold into the mansions of dignitaries or into Qingqing mansions like me." Zhao Yu pointed to the limping man in front of him.
The kidnapped boy said softly, "That child was originally born in the northwest, in a small town on the edge of the country. He was originally a family of three, and they lived happily. However, on the 10th of the Grand View Year,
Four years ago, the beards from the northwest invaded the Central Plains and passed by the village where the child lived. As a result... a total of two hundred and three people in that small village were killed, and his parents were brutally murdered to save him. This child
When running away, soldiers from the Jin Dynasty thought he was a civilian on the other side of the beard and had his legs broken. If the second lady hadn't taken action, the child would have died."
"Those are all poor people who had no choice but to go north because of the floods in the south that destroyed their homes. They had no water or food and had to beg for food. They were also resettled here with the help of the second lady..."
………………
Zhao Yu pointed at people again and told a few things about their lives. Rong Jin listened in a bad mood and felt a tightness in his chest.
Among them, some were caused by natural disasters, while others were caused by man-made disasters. They were poor people who either lost their homes or lost their relatives.
What frustrated him was that these were common people of the Jin Dynasty who should have been taken care of and resettled by the government, but instead they ended up living on the streets.
