He touched Tantai Heqing's extremely thin face with his hand: "It's only been a few days since I last saw him, and he's already like this. Even if he doesn't eat or drink, he won't be in trouble."
Tantai Heqing's situation these days is much harder than not being able to eat or drink. She can't eat well and sleep well, and she has to work around the clock.
To be honest, someone else would have been unable to bear it, not to mention she was pregnant.
Tantai Heqing smiled and said: "Sister Yui, I'm fine. I'll just rest for a while. What happened?"
Just as Ye Yui was about to speak, Xie Fu interrupted: "Sister Yui, let's talk outside, so as not to affect He Qing's rest."
Ye Yui understood immediately and said with a smile: "It's nothing. I just wanted to check the number with Brother Fu, but I couldn't find anyone else. I thought he was abducted, but it turned out that you were abducted by He Qing."
Xie Fu didn't want Ye Yuiyi to say anything more and make mistakes: "Sister Yuiyi, let's go."
"He Qing, I'll come see you later."
Walking out of the attic with Xie Fu, Ye Yuiyi threatened in a deep voice: "Fu, if you dare to be sorry to He Qing in the future, sister, I will be the first to forgive you!"
Where can a lady like this risking her life for you go? Just seeing Tantai Heqing's haggard look, Ye Yui can imagine what Tantai Heqing has been through these days.
Xie Fu didn't bother much at this time and asked: "Sister Yui, what happened?"
Ye Yui said solemnly: "The people I sent to find out the details of my opponent are back. Zhu Shide purchased about 300,000 shi of grain."
Xie Fu was surprised: "So many?"
Ye Yui asked back: "Is it much? If He Qing hadn't robbed more than half of it, it would have been easy for Zhu Shide within ten days. He was not the general grain merchant of Jiangnan East Road for nothing, and neither did those grain merchants. Jealous."
Xie Fu didn't say anything. Thirty thousand stones was not much compared to three hundred thousand stones, but getting these thirty thousand stones in just one day was a dream.
Furthermore, almost all the grain in the entire Jiangnan East Road has been plundered by both competing parties.
The grain borrowed by Mr. Lu was also returned. Xie Fu thought hard and felt that it was difficult to squeeze out even one stone of grain, let alone thirty thousand stone. He blurted out: "Sister Yui, what should I do?"
Ye Yuiyi pondered for a while, then finally spoke: "I have done my best, it is destiny, alas..."
The two sat in the flower hall, each thinking about countermeasures, without saying a word, and time passed silently.
Near noon, Gu Xianting walked in quickly, panting and sweat dripping from his forehead.
Xie Fu and Ye Yui looked at her at the same time. Gu Xianting breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, I got you another three thousand stones of food."
Ye Yuiyi was surprised: "Where did you get it?"
"Gu family."
The Gu family has a large number of people, and they also have a tiger guard, so they naturally store food.
Gu Xianting was with Ye Yuiyi in the morning. After learning the news, he immediately rushed to the Gu family and squeezed out all the grain stored in the Gu family.
"Sister Yui, what about you?"
Ye Yui's face turned red when he asked this question, "This Suzhou is not my territory. I am far away and cannot save the fire close by."
"Sister Yui, nothing at all?"
Seeing the embarrassment on Ye Yui's face, Gu Xianting finally realized: "Sister Yui, I don't mean anything else, I'm just anxious."
Xie Fu smiled and said, "Miss Gu, don't be anxious. We still have thirty thousand stones left. There's no need to rush."
"Sir, everyone is working so hard. We must not give up until the last moment."
"I'm not giving up. Everyone needs to calm down before we can come up with a solution."
"Sir, have you come up with a solution?"
Xie Fu smiled bitterly: "I'm useless."
Gu Xianting did not ask any more questions, and the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy in silence.
I don’t know how long it took before Ye Yuiyi and Gu Xianting spoke at the same time.
Gu Xianting said: "Sister Yui, you can talk first."
Ye Yui said: "I didn't think of any good ideas. I'll go see my father and touch his bottom."
Gu Xianting then said weakly: "The Gu family can squeeze out three thousand stones, the Lu family and the Zhang family should also squeeze out some."
Xie Fu said: "Even if the two families can squeeze out another three thousand dan each, it won't be enough."
"Sir, be prepared for any danger. Try your best to avoid being late again. I am looking for Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhang now."
Xie Fu stood up: "It's hard for the two ladies to make the decision on this kind of thing, so I'll go ahead."
Gu Xianting said: "Then I will look back at home and think of ideas."
The three of them worked separately. Although they knew there was little hope, they still wanted to work hard on this last day and did not want to fall short.
The carriage stopped at the door of Gu's mansion. Gu Xianting got off the carriage, looked at the clear blue sky, and said to himself: "Isn't even God willing to help you?"
Xiu'er next to her comforted her: "Miss, you have tried your best. You look like you have lost weight these days due to fatigue."
Gu Xianting said solemnly: "No! I haven't tried my best yet. If I really try my best, even God's will will be violated. Just like when you were in Wuxi, it was so difficult, every step was difficult, and I was struggling to die until the last moment..."
Gu Xianting suddenly stopped as he spoke, his mouth slightly opened, his eyes widened, and his expression froze.
The next moment, he said excitedly: "I have thought of something."
Xiu'er asked in surprise: "What solution?" She has been helping the young lady think of a solution from morning till now. Of course, her mind is not as smart as the young lady's. If the young lady can't think of it, she can't think of it either.
Gu Xianting said excitedly: "The people of Wuxi, the people of Wuxi will definitely be willing to help you. I definitely will!"
Xiu'er said: "That's thirty thousand dan. If every household pays ten buckets, it will cost tens of thousands!"
Thinking about it in Xiu'er, with Mr. Li's prestige in Wuxi, it would not be a problem to mobilize hundreds of households, but it would be staggering to think about mobilizing tens of thousands of households, and judging from the time, it would be too late in one day.
Gu Xianting gritted his teeth and said: "It depends on the human effort, let's work hard!"
"Xiu'er, get on the carriage and go to Wuxi now!"
Xiu'er still remembered the scene when she rushed to Wuxi last year and the lady was vomiting while being jolted in the carriage.
Gu Xianting, on the other hand, had already boarded the carriage and planned to go there without delay.
"Xiu'er, get in the car."
"oh."
Xiu'er responded, but Gu Xianting got off the carriage and said, "It's too slow to ride in the carriage. Let's go on a fast horse."
Xiu'er grinned when she heard this: "Miss, don't be joking. We are going to Wuxi for hundreds of miles. With your poor equestrian skills, you will be very happy if you can not fall off."
Gu Xianting said: "I have learned to ride horses, but I only rarely ride them."
As a noble lady from a well-known family, riding a horse is also a skill that must be learned. Gu Xianting learned it when she was very young.
But riding a horse in a hurry and riding a horse slowly to show the nobility and nobility are completely different things.
When it comes to Xie Fu, Xiu'er also knows that nothing can persuade the young lady. Even if there is a fire pit in front of her, if jumping down can help Xie Fu, the young lady will not hesitate to jump in.
