Early the next morning, Li Yunze and Ye Yutong drove the carriage to the Song Mansion.
The car was loaded with several baskets of eggs and fruits, as well as some sausages, bacon, two jars of red wine and two jars of white wine.
Before Song Yichen went out, he heard from the housekeeper that Li Yunze and Ye Yutong were here. He hurried out without changing his clothes.
Mrs. Song and Song Jingyan arrived at the same time as him.
Song Jingyan held Ye Yutong's hand, very affectionately, her eyes widened with a smile, "Ping An, Tongtong, why are you here?"
"Aunt, Sister Jingyan, Ping An and I happened to be passing through Fengcheng, so we came to see you."
Seeing them, Ye Yutong was also very happy.
She likes the personalities of the Song family's mother and daughter very much. They are sincere in their treatment of others, and they don't have so many twists and turns. They speak and do things cleanly and neatly.
Mrs. Song looked at her and said with a gentle smile: "Tongtong, both of your sisters miss you very much. If you and Ping An are not in a hurry, you can stay here for a while."
Ye Yutong said with a smile: "Auntie, Sister Jingyan, if you don't mind disturbing me and Ping An, then we can stay here for a few days."
Mrs. Song nodded her forehead and said angrily: "Child, what do you think you said?
Your uncle and I told you when you went back last time that this will also be your home from now on. You don’t have to say hello to anyone when you come back, you can come whenever you want. "
Over there, Song Yichen had already pulled Li Yunze to whisper, "Brother Li, have you got the news? Li Yunkai is dead."
Li Yunze nodded, "I heard about it yesterday."
Song Yichen asked anxiously: "Then what are you going to do?"
Li Yunze smiled and said nothing.
Song Yichen knew that this was not the place to talk, so he said to the people who were talking: "Mom, eldest sister, Miss Ye, please take your time and chat. I'm taking Brother Li to the front yard."
After saying that, he took Li Yunze to the study room in the front yard. Let his personal servant personally guard outside the hospital.
"Brother Li, if you need anything from our Song family, just ask. As long as it can be done, my father and I will have nothing to say."
"Thank you very much, Brother Song and Chief Song Shan."
Li Yunze bowed his hands to him and whispered: "Now is not the time. But I do have something to trouble Mr. Song. I don't know when he will come back."
"My father sent my grandparents to Zhuangzi. He also had to watch the sweet potatoes and potatoes being planted in the fields. He might not be back soon."
Song Yichen was afraid that he would be anxious, so he thought for a while and said, "Brother Li, if you are anxious, I will send someone to send a message to my father right now and ask him to come back immediately."
Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, Tongtong and I have some things to do when we come to Fengcheng this time. We have to stay here for a few days. It won't be too late to wait until Chief Song Shan comes back."
Song Yichen felt relieved now. A few days ago, he received news from the capital that Li Yunkai had passed away.
He wrote a letter to Li Yunze at that time, and the person who sent the letter may still be on the way.
His letter clearly stated that the Song family was willing to go all out to support him.
The two talked about this year's weather and the victims outside.
Song Yichen sighed: "My father has been uniting with the big families in Fengcheng to donate money and food since last year, and we give porridge at the gate of the city every day. However, there are too many victims, and we can only save a few people."
"Even the imperial court ignored the victims below. It is very benevolent for Chief Song Shan to do this." Li Yunze praised their actions.
Song Yichen had long given up hope in the current imperial court. He only hoped that Brother Li could regain the throne as soon as possible so that these people would suffer less.
Thinking of those high-yield sweet potatoes and potatoes, he said excitedly: "Brother Li, there was a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes last year. The yield shocked my dad. He attaches great importance to these grains.
This time I went to Zhuangzi, firstly to send my grandparents there to rest, but also because I was worried about spring planting, so I planned to go there and keep an eye on it. "
"Yichen, actually I came here specifically to deliver seeds this time. I got a high-yield rice. It has been tested on the mountain and the yield is very high and the quality is very good.
But I don’t know if this kind of rice is suitable for planting here in Jiangnan. So Tongtong and I want you to try planting it first. If you can plant it, we can ask Mr. Song to promote it. "
Song Yichen was overjoyed, "Really? Then I will send someone to call my father over now." After saying that, he walked out, preparing to let the guards go to the village.
Li Yunze hurriedly stopped him, "No, Yichen, Tongtong and I will go there and bring the rice seeds with us."
Song Yichen said with some embarrassment: "My father is not here, so I can't leave here. I have to ask the guards to send you there."
Li Yunze waved his hand, "No need to send it away. Just tell me the address. There is no need for the guards to follow."
Song Yichen knew the two of them's abilities and knew that there was definitely no shortage of manpower around them, so he directly told him the address on Zhuangzi.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong had lunch at Song Mansion and then went to their own village.
They sent two carts of rice seeds to Qiuzhuangtou and asked them to cultivate the seedlings first. After a period of rain, they can transplant the rice directly without delaying this year's harvest.
Qiu Zhuangtou looked at the two carts of rice seeds and hesitated to speak. In such a dry weather, even if the seedlings were raised, they would not be able to plant them.
Ye Yutong saw what he meant and whispered to him: "Uncle Qiu, last month we met an expert who said it would rain soon. Although we don't know whether what he said is true or not? But we would rather Believe it."
She patted the rice seeds on the car and said, "We got these high-yielding seeds with great difficulty. You must take good care of them and don't delay planting them when the time comes."
Qiu Zhuangtou heard her say that it would rain soon. He looked at her in shock and asked with trembling lips: "Madam, is this true?"
Ye Yutong nodded pretending to be mysterious, "That's what the expert said. Many of his predictions were accurate in the past. This time I choose to believe him."
Qiu Zhuangtou said excitedly: "Yes, madam, I will send someone to fetch water from the well now and raise the seedlings."
"Uncle Qiu, don't forget to plant chayote, pumpkins, winter melons..." Li Yunze reminded him from behind.
Qiu Zhuangtou said cheerfully: "It's planted, it's planted, it was planted this morning, master, don't worry."
Before the two of them reached the city gate, they saw a group of people waiting to leave the city. Four low-key carriages, followed by hundreds of mounted guards.
It might be that Li Yunkai had just died. These people were all dressed plainly, and the carriages had no obvious markings. It was hard to tell which house they belonged to.
The guards on guard were very respectful to this group of people and did not usually open a small door for entry and exit.
Today the city gates were wide open, and a dozen government officials stood at the door to see them out of the city.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong stopped with their horses. After all the people left, they slowly arrived at the gate of the city.
The brand they had was from the Song Dynasty, and the government officials were very polite to them. It could be said that they were a bit flattering.
Ye Yutong took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and gave it to the head of the government office.
Then he asked him with a smile, "Brother Yamen, I wonder which gentleman went out just now?"
