In the hot summer, in the hot afternoon, the intellectuals in the trees were screaming tiredly.

"Ah~ It's hot!" Sitting leisurely in the outer hall of her room, desperately fanning the wind with a fan.

"Miss, would you like some mung bean soup? It's been iced for a long time, and it's just right to drink it now. Wanxue stood behind Youran, holding a large pu fan to fan her.

"Well, let's have a bowl." Leisurely and wilting, such a hot and dry weather is really not refreshing.

"Alas, the slave and maid went and fetched it for you." Wanxue put the fan away and walked out of the outer hall with small steps.

As soon as Wanxue went out, Wanyun walked in with a smile, "Miss, the young master asked you to go to his yard!" ”

"Why are you going?" Leisurely rolled his eyelids lazily and looked up at her, "On this hot day, I don't want to move, I don't want to go anywhere." ”

"I saw that Young Master Shang is here, and the eldest young master seems to have something to do with you, and it's a matter in the shop." Wan Yun didn't know the specific things, she only told Youran what she probably knew.

"Shop?" Youran frowned slightly, thinking in his heart what could be the matter in the shop, was it for Shang Moqi to come to them with the scorching sun on his head?

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with a conclusion, so I simply didn't want to. She stood up lazily: "Then let's go now!" You go and tell Wanxue to let her fill up the mung bean soup and take it to her brother. ”

"Yes, miss."

In Qin's courtyard, Shang Moqi sat in the front hall, drinking tea, while sticking out his head and looking out of the door: "Why hasn't this You'er come yet?" I'm almost done with this cup of tea. ”

Qin Yanran took a slight sip of tea, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Wait a little longer!" I guess it's almost ......"

As soon as he put down these words, he leisurely led her maids into the courtyard door.

"Brother Moqi, are you looking for me?" As soon as he entered the door, he asked Shang Moqi concisely and clearly.

"Hmm." Shang Moqi nodded, then picked up a letter on the coffee table next to him and handed it to her: "This is sent back by Mingyi urgently, you can take a look."

Leisurely took the letter in his hand with a puzzled face and read it seriously.

Sikong Mingyi followed Zheng Wenjun and Huang Haoxuan back to the capital a few days ago, counting the days, it was almost this half a day to arrive. However, he sent an urgent letter back as soon as he arrived, what was the matter?

Sweeping through the ten lines at a glance, the more you look down, the wider your eyes open. In the end, he looked up at Shang Moqi and Qin Yanran in disbelief: "Is this true?" But we also belong to the south, why haven't we seen such a heavy rain? all constitute floods. ”

"After all, our Southern Imperial Mansion should be a little closer to the north." Qin Haoran replied.

"But why did the capital get the news first?" The news also flowed here first, right?

"The imperial capital is there! If there is a flood, the local officials below will definitely send an urgent report of 800 miles to the capital, and it is not surprising that they will know about it first. Shang Moqi analyzed, "And the Mingyi family is an imperial businessman, so it makes sense to get the news first." ”

Mingyi said in the letter that the affected area is relatively wide, and it is likely that there will be people fleeing here; And the first city to arrive is the Southern Imperial Palace. So just in case, be sure to manage the shop well; Also, think of a foolproof way to resist the riots of the victims. Qin Xianran conveyed the message on the letter, looked at the two people in front of him, and asked for advice.

"I'm here to see if you have any good ideas?" Now all the shops of Shang Moqi's family in Nancang County, Master Shang has all been handed over to his son to take care of! The name is beautiful: a lot of experience, when you take over the power of the business in the future, you will not know nothing.

"Do you want to open a warehouse to put grain?" Youran frowned and thought of a way: "Although a lot of grain is planted on the Zhuangzi, it is basically not ripe now!" I can't get that much food! ”

"I can take some out of my house when I arrive, but it's not much! After all, my family is just a cloth seller and an embroidery workshop, not as good as those who open grain and oil shops. Shang Moqi pondered for a moment and said.

"The government will definitely release grain when it arrives, but if there are too many refugees, it will still not be enough, after all, this is only a county seat."

Leisurely nodded, agreeing with her brother's opinion, "If the food supply is not enough and the refugees are hungry, those of us who have shops in the county town will be unlucky, and we will definitely be the first to be robbed." ”

"What then? Isn't there a better way? Shang Moqi was in a hurry, looking to the left at Qin Yanran, who was with a heavy face, and then to the right at the leisurely with a pensive face.

"Why don't we stock up on grain first? While the news of the disaster has not yet come out, let's go to the nearby counties to buy grain first. In this way, when the refugees come, we will have food to distribute to them, they will be fed, and the chances of riots will be much smaller. After a leisurely contemplation, he proposed.

"Well, it works." Qin Yuran nodded in agreement, "Moreover, after the news of the flood comes out, the price of grain will definitely rise sharply, and it is also a good thing to stock up on more grain now." ”

"That's right, then let's start sending people everywhere tomorrow to buy food?" Shang Moqi asked.

"yes, okay." Qin Yanran agreed.

"By the way, there should also be a few strong men who can fight in the shop, in case of emergency." With a flash of inspiration, he added.

"Okay." Shang Moqi nodded and responded.

"Do you want to say hello to Cheng Hanyu and Bai Bin? Let them also prepare in advance? Qin Haoran remembered a few friends in Nancang County at this time.

“…… I had forgotten about them. However, Mingyi specially sent someone to tell us the news, can you tell the others? Shang Moqi turned his head to look at Youran.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Tell them!" After all, the news will spread in a few days, and sooner or later it will be known. It's better for us to sell them a favor now, and if we use them one day, they won't shirk too much. ”

"Okay, listen to You'er." Shang Moqi has always listened to leisurely opinions, she is what she says, and she has no independent ideas at all.

"It's going to be evening, let's save time and go our separate ways!" Qin Yanran said assignedly: "The Bai family and the An family are told by Mo Qi, and I will go to the Fu family and the Gao family." Sister, you go to Cheng's house, and when you're done, you will go to Vegetable and Fruit Xuan to wait for me. ”

"Okay—"

"Okay." Shang Moqi and Youran nodded in unison.

Leisurely got into the carriage and went straight to Cheng's house in Nancang County. After arriving, Wanyun went to call the door first, and after the report, she waited for Cheng Hanrui to send someone to pick her up.

"Miss Qin......" It was Xing'er who came out, and greeted her with a smile, "My young lady heard that you were coming, but she was very happy; No, I'm dressing up! Therefore I sent a slave maid to pick you up. ”

Leisurely smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Today came suddenly, it's such a time, didn't disturb Sister Rui, right?"

"No, Miss is looking forward to you always coming to play!" Xing'er led the way in front and headed towards Cheng Hanrui's courtyard in the inner courtyard.

"You'er-" As soon as he saw the courtyard door, Cheng Hanrui ran out of it; After seeing her, he waved to her happily.

"Sister Rui." Leisurely walked over, clasped hands with her, Ying Ying smiled.

"You conscienceless little girl, how long has it been since you came to see me? I don't know if I miss me! Cheng Hanrui pursed her mouth and said angrily.

"I'm not here!" For this girlfriend, you have indeed been a little negligent in recent days, "I've been busy with the resort recently, and I originally sent you a post when it opened, and I thought you would go!" Then we can get together, I didn't expect you to go to your grandfather's house. ”

"Hehe, my mother took me and my brother to my grandfather's house to play, who would have thought that you would open at that time? In a few days, I'll definitely go to your resort to get a good look. I've heard that the food there is very delicious, there is also a special service, and there are many fun entertainments, so people don't want to come back after they go. ”

"Okay, let's go play in a few days." Leisurely smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Well, that's it." Cheng Hanrui said, "By the way, come into the courtyard, patronize and chat with you happily, forget that we are still standing at the gate of the courtyard!" Let's go in......"

After the two entered the house, the maids brought tea and fruit snacks, and then retreated to the side to wait. Cheng Hanrui is a child of the family and the daughter of the family, and the treatment can be seen; There are eight or nine large, medium and small maids serving alone.

looked around leisurely and quietly, and felt that there were too many people, so he said to Cheng Hanrui, who was sitting beside him: "Sister Rui, I have something to do with you, can you let the maids quit?" By the way, bring your brother here, and tell you something important. ”

Cheng Hanrui paused as she drank tea, and looked at Leisurely with a serious expression suspiciously: "Well, okay." Apricot ......"

"Miss." Apricot walked over and curtsied.

"Let the girls stand down! I'm sending someone to invite my brother over. Cheng Hanrui commanded.

"Yes."

After Xing'er asked the girls to retreat, only Youran, Wanyun, Wanxue, Cheng Hanrui and Xing'er were left in the house. Although Cheng Hanrui was curious about what Youran was about to say, she didn't ask.

Since You'er said that she was going to find her brother, the thing she wanted to say must be a big thing that required a man to come forward; After she waited for her brother to come, she would naturally know what You'er was going to say, and she still had this little patience.

"Rui'er, you are looking for me......" Cheng Hanyu didn't say anything, because he was stunned when he saw Youran.

When he came in, he stood up and gave a salute: "Cheng Gongzi."

Cheng Hanyu came back from his stunned and hurriedly returned: "...... It turned out to be a leisurely sister, but I haven't seen her for a long time. ”

Leisurely smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, no, I was complained by Sister Rui just now!"

"Hmph, who told you not to come to me." Cheng Hanrui glanced at her with disgust, and then said with a smile: "You two don't be so polite, don't you have something to say?" Sit down and talk. ”

After Cheng Hanyu sat down, he looked at Youran with a hint of joy in his eyes and asked, "Sister Youran is here, what is the so-called matter?"

"That's the case...... leisurely didn't talk nonsense, and told the people about the flood disaster in 1510...... That's the way it is. I came here today to remind you to prepare early. ”

After hearing this, Cheng Hanrui's eyes widened in shock, "Oh my God! Flood? How many years has this not happened? I remember the last time there was a flood, when I was a child! Brother, isn't it? ”

Cheng Hanyu nodded and responded: "Hmm."

Then he said to Youran: "Thank you Sister Youran for coming to tell me, Cheng Fu is inexhaustible."

Youran shook his head gently: "It's nothing, everyone is a friend, of course you have to tell each other when you encounter this kind of thing, be prepared." Don't say anything thankful or unthankful. ”

"That's it, Yu'er is my best sister, so you don't need to be polite with her." Cheng Hanrui said with a smile.

You look at her and smile, for her good girlfriend, you still like deep friendship.

Because it was getting late, Leisurely didn't stay long, and it was good to tell the story. She got into the carriage, lifted the curtain cloth, and waved her hand to Cheng Hanrui, who was sending her out.

"Sister Rui, you have to remember that we have to make an agreement! When that's over, let's go to the resort. ”

"Okay." Cheng Hanrui nodded with a smile and agreed, "You should pay attention to safety on the way home, we will have time to meet again." ”

"Well, you go in! I'm leaving......" and finally waved his hand, and after lowering the curtain, the carriage moved slowly.

In the evening, there are only a few people on the streets of the residential area. The sound of horses' hooves came into the carriage, and it was particularly comfortable and peaceful at the moment. But who knows what the street will look like in the near future......
