Uncle Fang was very happy to see Li Yuan. After saying this, he led others to lead the way.
Li Yuan simply got out of the carriage, sat in the carriage shaft, and stuck her head out to talk to Uncle Fang who was walking ahead.
"Uncle Fang, when did you get here? Sister Su just asked you to come over. Did you say anything?"
Uncle Fang, who was walking in front, looked back at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "In reply to Mrs. Li, I came here on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The young lady said that right now she is busy with important things in her life and has no time to spare. I know Mrs. Li, you guys On the tenth day of the lunar month, I set off for Luyang Mansion. I thought I couldn't help, so I asked the old slave to bring a batch of rice and noodles over."
When Li Yuan heard that Uncle Fang still brought rice and noodles, and that Su Mingshan said that she was busy with a big event in her life, she quickly asked: "Uncle Fang, how much rice and noodles did Sister Su ask you to bring? And what happened to her big event in her life?" What's going on?"
"In reply to Mrs. Li, there are five carts of rice and noodles. The young lady said that she gave them to everyone in Lijiaao on behalf of Qingmei. There are not many things, and I hope that everyone will not be too little. In addition, the young lady is planning to marry the Min family this time..."
Li Yuan still knows about the Min family.
The head of the Min family in Liuyun County is Min Weizhong.
He is a branch of the Min family in Fucheng, so the person Su Mingshan wants to marry should be a direct descendant.
With this in mind, she asked: "Uncle Fang, does he know how my aunt is doing now? Also, have you seen the person that Sister Su is going to marry? How old is he and who is he like?"
There were only three masters in the Su family, and Su Mingshan was the only one to inherit the family business, so everyone in the Su family was very concerned about her life-long events.
The person she wants to marry is also the object of everyone's concern.
No, as soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, Uncle Fang replied cheerfully: "Ms. Li, the news I got from the young lady is that Sister Qingmei is in much better health now. But if she returns to Fucheng, she may have to wait a few months. . As for the new uncle, if I have to say something from the bottom of my heart, he is much better than the young master of the Qin family. Although the new uncle is the third son of the Min family, he is three years older than the young lady, and has two brothers above him, but he is better than the young master of the Qin family. "
"Old slave heard that he started working as a escort when he was fifteen years old, and he specialized in walking long distances. He walked for two years by himself. After he became familiar with the route, he asked the head of the Min family to borrow a thousand taels of silver, saying that it would take three years. Pay it off. With that money, he bought low and sold high. Not only did he pay back the money in less than two years, he also accumulated a lot."
"The old slave also heard that he has a tavern, a dyeing shop, and a rouge shop in Hedong County. It is said that the wine sold in the tavern is in short supply and is all home-brewed. The secret recipe belongs to my uncle. In hand, everyone who has drank it says it is good. There are also people who specialize in dyeing cloth. I heard that you can dye flowers on cloth without anyone embroidering it, and it will not fade. But whether it is true or not, old slave I haven’t seen it before, so I don’t know. Also, this old slave doesn’t know about Rouge Shop.”
When Li Yuan heard what Uncle Fang said, she subconsciously felt that this person seemed pretty good.
However, she had never met the person, and she didn’t know who the other person was or how they agreed to marry, so she didn’t say anything.
As the carriage wandered to Dankou Village and stopped, Uncle Fang pointed to the large open space in front of it and the two particularly large wooden houses next to it, and said: "Ms. Li, the people I brought here this time Rice and noodles are all there.”
Li Yuan looked in the direction pointed by his hand and saw that the land was the highest in the entire Dankou Village, and it seemed that it had been cleared out not long ago.
Seeing this, she looked at Uncle Fang with gratitude in her eyes: "Uncle Fang, thank you!"
Uncle Fang waved his hand nonchalantly and replied, "Ms. Li, you're welcome. I just did what I should do."
When he finished speaking, there was a trace of hesitation on his face, and he continued after a while: "Ms. Li, the people of Dankou Village, many people died and were injured last year, and not many people survived. In addition, the year is not good this year. , the terrain here is high, and it is not easy to survive. Now in such a large village, there are still five children without fathers and mothers. During this period, they live with us for food and accommodation. It’s just the old slave. After waiting for you, I will give you the things and it will be settled. I have to go back to Fucheng..."
Li Yuan knew what he meant as soon as she heard it, but she couldn't make the decision, so she looked at Zhang Cong who had stopped the carriage.
Zhang Cong had previously led people to guard the border between the two counties. He knew about Dankou Village, but he didn't come here very often.
When he heard Uncle Fang's words and saw Li Yuan looking over, he directly said to Li Qinghua, who had also heard Uncle Fang's words: "The people from Dankou Village stay here! This is Liufeng County, you are going to Luyang If they don’t want to stay here and don’t know where to go, then follow me back to Liuyun County. I, Liuyun County, will definitely need to re-count the population when the time comes. It’s also easy to operate.”
Although Li Qinghua didn't see anyone, he still heard what Uncle Fang said about sending five loads of rice and noodles to the people of Lijia'ao.
After hearing Zhang Cong's words, Uncle Fang said: "Dankou Village and we are not in the same county after all, but belong to two jurisdictions. Brother Fang, I know you are kind-hearted, but it is absolutely impossible for us to take you away. You see If this works, when we leave, we will provide them with a month’s worth of rations.”
Uncle Fang also knew that he was in some trouble. He just felt sorry for the five people's hardship and wanted to ask Li Yuan if he could take them away.
But since it can’t be done, that’s all it can do!
One month's rations were enough for them to survive this period of suffering.
Thinking this, Uncle Fang nodded and said, "Then I'll thank you all for those children!"
Because Li Yuan and others had already arrived at Dankou Village and had food supplies, Zhang Cong and others decided to return to Liuyun County.
According to Li Yuan's previous plan with Wang Can, she had to find a place and take out a large amount of rice noodles from the space for Zhang Cong and others to take back.
But now that they have arrived, this plan cannot be implemented for the time being.
Seeing that Zhang Cong was about to leave, she quickly stopped him: "Brother Zhang, wait!"
Zhang Cong turned around in confusion. Before he could ask, he saw Li Yuan pointing to an unoccupied corner.
"Brother Zhang, please take a step to speak!"
Zhang Cong, who was confused, could only walk to the place pointed by Li Yuan. After he stood still, he saw Li Yuan pulling Wang Can with him.
"Brother and sister, what's the matter?"
Li Yuan knew that Zhang Cong was in a hurry to go back, so she didn't hesitate and replied straight to the point: "Well, there is something very important that I need to discuss with you, Brother Zhang!"
"Brother and sister, tell me!"
"Brother Zhang, you also know how capable my brother Xie is, and he made some money writing storybooks before."
Zhang Cong said nothing and just nodded.
Li Yuan continued: "Brother Xie guessed that our Liuyun County would suffer such a disaster, so he made preparations long ago. He hid a batch of supplies in Liufeng County, including food, cold-proof clothing and medicine, and he just happened to Brother, if you are here, you can transport it back. It’s just that there may be a lot of things. It’s difficult for you to go back now, so I don’t know about that batch of things..."
