The Yizhen event that I first came into contact with made Edhiel fumbling.
Although I don’t know what other Yizhen will be like, it will definitely be an absolute protracted battle and physical work for Yizhen from the Yin Rose family.
Because Shirley was busy from the beginning to the end, Adeshel was embarrassed to say that she wanted to rest. She kept taking cookies or candy cubes from the hand of the maid next to her and distributed them to everyone, but she didn't know who asked.
After coming out, I wanted to shake hands, I had another one more thing to do.
Adeshel was very confident about her physical strength, so she was not exhausted all morning, which surprised her.
She felt that she might have been infected by the smiles of everyone's faces, and before she knew it, she forgot her fatigue.
However, when Shirley clapped her hands and asked Aofeta to ring the bell and announced that Yizhen's meeting was over, Adeshel lay back and fell onto the folding chair, so tired that she even raised her hands.
Can't get up anymore.
"Thank you all!" Shirley smiled and waved to the staff of Yizhen Club, then looked at Princess Long, "Adesh is also very fortunate."
Compared to the era when Shirley was first distributed with meat pies by the door of the security office, accompanied by more than a dozen guards and two maids, the number of people in the Yizhen Association team is now unimaginable, and she is escorting her.
There are more than a hundred people who have recently selected officials, ordinary porters who resist transporting goods, and maids who help distribute supplies.
Although the nature of Yizhenhui has changed slightly to some extent with the development of these years, Shirley has not given up on this "hobby". Perhaps the most essential reason is that she is a gangster.
Whenever a person witnesses the changes of Yizhenhui and the smiles on the faces of the citizens, it is the time when she can feel the meaning of her life best.
"Madam..." However, while Edishil was tired, he couldn't help looking at Shirley with some confusion: "In my opinion, the people you donate seem to be people who do not need to donate,
Can such donation activities really be called 'giving'?"
Hearing Adesh's words, Shirley couldn't help but smile slightly. Adesh's intelligence surprised her again and again, and she also felt a little moved. In her opinion, Adesh's is indeed Ian.
The most suitable Duchess alternate.
"Adeshill, as you said, the real donation has just begun now." Shirley looked at Adeshill and smiled slightly.
"Just just started?" Adeshel savored Shirl's words. After reacting, she couldn't help but shivered. She looked at the crowd that was gradually dissipating, and her voice became a little rapid and sharp, "I just now
Is it a real donation meeting?"
"Adeshill, don't you know very well?" Shirley tidied up her somewhat scattered hair a little, then looked gently at the one who walked out of the corner after the crowd dispersed-
Real beggars.
"Although the children just now were very enthusiastic, these people were the ones who really needed help." Shirley stuffed three times the amount of material into those with a smile that was exactly the same as before, even more enthusiastic.
In the hands of poor people.
Although the donation of the White Rose City and Shirley in charity have been very different in the past nine years, Shirley's sincerity in considering the poor has never changed.
Looking at the smile on Shirley's face, Adesh unconsciously walked away, then stood up again in silence, stood beside the Duchess of Silver Rose, quietly picked up the cookies on the table, and distributed them.
stand up.
Compared to the busy mornings, there were not many people gathered in front of the donation platform during the period after noon, but they were ragged, disabled, or sick, and were truly needy people.
As the morning heat changed, Shirley and Adesh just distributed it silently, and the person who came to receive the dough cake was either in pain or numb. After taking the dough cake, someone would fight to the death.
They bent down to thank him, but more people subconsciously bowed their waists and nodded in silence - they didn't even have the courage to raise their heads and look at Adesh's bright and incomparable face.
In such silent action, Shirley suddenly asked, "Adeshil, you're wondering why there are still such poor people in such a white rose city?"
Adeshel subconsciously looked at Shirley's side face, then slowly shook his head: "There has never been a king that can make all his people eat and eat and have no worries about food and clothing--
No."
Shirley quietly put the biscuits in her hand into the beggar girl's hand in front of her, and then gently pinched the girl's trembling palm, but the words in her mouth did not stop: "So what do you think we are doing now?
If you know that it is impossible to make everyone happy and prosperous, why donate to others in this way? Is it just out of that hypocrisy called compassion?"
Adeshill's fingers were stiff and he didn't know how to answer.
However, Shirley's words did not stop. Her wife's eyes penetrated the leisurely sunshine and walked to the other end of memory and time.
"I still remember the scene when I was curious and distributed supplies to victims affected by drought after my family for the first time."
"Looking at those ragged people, it is a feeling called empathy. Because I realize that I am an individual named human, because I realize that others are a group called human, so I am a human being
, unable to turn a blind eye to the suffering of others named human beings - this is compassion."
"However, compassion is one-sided. It can only satisfy people's temporary needs. Just like our family back then, facing the victims in the city, even if they give all their money, they can only help less than one percent of them.
Eat and live for three months. In places we cannot see, there are still millions of people waiting for assistance. But just giving food to less than a hundred people for a week can make us human
I feel satisfied with compassion, and then gradually get bored with this kind of uninteresting effort…”
"So... compassion is meaningless and useless."
Listening to Shirley's words, Adeshel stopped completely: "It's not useless...this mood..."
She looked at Shirley and argued softly: "Isn't compassion a part of kindness and kindness? Because the ministers have benevolence and kindness, they are willing to fight for peace for the people of the world, and it is not because of the emperor.
Can you be kind and righteous in your heart and be diligent in the kingly rule and get a prosperous world?"
"That kind...I don't know..." Shirley smiled softly, "I am not a nobleman. Before becoming the Duke's wife, I was just the daughter of a small businessman."
"A long time ago, the meat pies I distributed to everyone were all made by my maids in the Duke's mansion, and I bought flour and beef from outside, and I made them by myself, because I think this would not increase too much.
The burden at home can also allow everyone to eat delicious and safe food."
Shirley said softly, with a nostalgic smile on her face, as if the rich meat pie smell had dissipated again: "But Yiwen told me that that was wrong..."
"For the poor, it is better to let them eat enough than let them eat well. How about black bread compared to white bread? For the vast majority of citizens, they would rather eat the black bread mixed with wood chips and wheat crust.
I don't want to buy those white flour cakes that are several times more expensive..."
"For the real poor, what they want is not to eat well, but to eat enough. Instead of eating meat patties and milk every other year, then diarrhea due to gastrointestinal discomfort and lactose intolerance
When they were exhausted, they would rather eat a large piece of black bread every day.”
“Compassion looks beautiful, but it’s simply insignificant before it becomes true empathy.”
Adeshel's lips opened slightly, and he watched Shirley's dress emitting a faint luster in the sun.
The lady stroked the hair on her temples with her dirt-stained fingers without any disdain: "Compassion is just a 'willful' to calm down the uneasy mood in her heart, and the same is true for restraining reason.
Only by the heart can one truly align itself with others, consider it from the perspective of others, and truly suit others' "righteous acts"."
"So I accepted Yiwen's proposal and replaced the meat patties and milk with biscuits, radishes, sweet potatoes, and free medical examinations." Speaking of this, Shirley couldn't help but smile softly,"
But even so, I still can't turn my meaningless compassion into empathy - not because I didn't realize it or didn't want it, but as a woman, I really didn't do it like Yiwen
abilities and vision...so even if it is just a meaningless compassion, please allow me to solve the urgent needs of those who are still in a state of chaos today."
"However, Adeshill, you are different..." Shirley turned her head and looked at Adeshill with a gentle look, "Adeshill, you are different from me, you are my ex-Emperor's
Like Princess Vicky, he is a real, well-educated royal family. You have the ability to assist Yiwen and the foresight to assist Yiwen, but the only thing I cannot be sure of is that you have
Without the will of assisting Yiwen, the child... After all, the child has done such cruel behavior to you and your motherland for the sake of justice and 'empathy' in his heart..."
Adeshil stared at Shirley blankly, listened to her words, and then when she heard "You and your motherland", her chest was almost torn apart, and she covered her chest with a pale face.
, She didn't expect that the first person in the entire Duke's mansion tore the bloody wound in her heart was the gentle and seemingly incompetent Mrs. Silver Rose in front of her.
She was a little confused and at a loss. She suddenly lowered her head and corresponded to the poor people in front of her. She was at a loss. She originally felt that she had already made the awareness of going with the flow, but until she was Shirley
When she asked what she really thought, she suddenly realized that the answer was not as simple and easy as she had imagined.
However, a sudden accident rescued her who was in distress.
The blue-haired girl in front of her, covered in a shabby cloak, seemed to be tripped by the person behind her. Her body, which was already thin and weak, was unstable, but she rushed towards Edishil.
.
Adeshel subconsciously reached out and caught her.
"Hug! Sorry! I didn't mean it!" It seemed that the girl herself did not expect such a thing to happen. Because she bumped into the noble lady (Adeshill), her voice seemed very uneasy, "Yes! Sorry!"
After a sudden bow to Edishil, she reached out and grabbed the cookies on the table and ran away in panic.
Adeshil looked at the girl's back and subconsciously opened his mouth, but finally did not shout.
"Is it okay?" Shirley's voice sounded from her side with some concern.
Adeshell shook his head gently.
Cold sweat dripping quietly from her slender back. Adesh pretended to be nothing, and secretly hid the note in his hand into his sleeve.
