Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Several women thought that they spoke softly, and even if it was embarrassing, as long as the person concerned didn't hear it, they could pretend that they hadn't said anything. However, they didn't expect that Song Shiwei had extraordinary hearing and heard every word they said clearly.

The women were so embarrassed by Wei Cai's old wife that they all went home. Song Shi curled his lips and smiled slightly.

What I want is for you to see me, so that I won’t arouse suspicion when I’m extremely cold in the future.

After delivering the firewood home, the master and servant continued to go to the provincial capital. After two trips back and forth, it was almost time for lunch, so they randomly found a restaurant that looked good to have their meal.

After dinner, it was noon, and Song Shiwei took Zhang Wu to the city gate to find the officers and soldiers who had benefits in their hands.

As the two men just walked to the city gate, Zhang Wu spotted the soldier with his sharp eyes. The victims gathered at the city gate at this time were quite spectacular. Song Shiwei simply waited under a tree not far away, and Zhang Wu went over to negotiate. After a while, Zhang Wu came back with a gloomy face.

"how?"

Zhang Wu pursed his lips and shook his head: "That person said that he hadn't seen the village chief and his men in these days. He also specifically told other officers and soldiers, but they didn't find anything."

Song Shiwei leaned against the tree and frowned when he heard this: "It shouldn't be like this. According to their pace, they should have arrived long ago."

"I think so too. Even if the village chief and his men continue to take the mountain road, they should arrive in more than half a month. I just don't know if there was any accident."

Song Shiwei thought for a moment and shook his head: "They must have been delayed by something. Don't forget, there are officials and exiles with them. They have to register with the government every time they pass through a town. It is normal for them to be delayed for some time. Just keep waiting. They will come eventually."

Zhang Wu's brows relaxed when he heard this: "Then I will go and tell the officers and soldiers to prevent them from slacking off after a long time."

"Go ahead, and mention the exile."

"it is good."

After Zhang Wu came back from negotiating with the officers and soldiers, Song Shiwei hurriedly asked him to drive back, but before he got in the car, he was stopped by Zhou Yi who suddenly appeared.

Song Shiwei leaned against the carriage and looked calmly at the excited Zhou Yi, without saying anything for a long time.

On the other hand, Zhou Yi, as soon as he arrived, pulled Zhang Wu and started talking excitedly, while carefully observing Song Shiwei.

"Meeting is fate. The sun is shining brightly now. You will die of heat if you go out of the city. How about I invite you two to have tea at the teahouse? I heard that a new batch of iced drinks has arrived recently, which is just right for now."

Zhang Wu didn't say anything, waiting for Song Shiwei's decision.

Song Shiwei originally wanted to go back and read the storybook quickly, but when she heard Bingyin, her eyebrows raised and she smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhou invited us so kindly, we will not refuse, please lead the way."

Zhou Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly got on the carriage to lead the way, occasionally lifting the curtain to take a look at Song Shiwei's carriage following behind.

Zhang Wu drove behind with an indifferent expression. He saw a head popping out from the carriage in front from time to time. He was speechless and said with his head tilted slightly, "Master, that Mr. Zhou is indeed a wonderful person."

Song Shiwei's voice came from the carriage, very calmly: "No matter how interesting they are, we don't have to make close friends, but we will have to deal with them in the North in the future, so it is enough to maintain face."

Now that Zhou Yi has remembered him, he will probably have a lot of interactions with him in the future. Zhou Yi looks careless but he actually has his own plans. Although Song Shiwei is not afraid of the Zhou family in the North, it is a good thing to have one less trouble. As for the Zhou family, Song Shiwei thought of the plot in the book.

On the surface, it is said that the Xie and Zhou families are incompatible, but in fact, when Zhou Wende was young, he and Xie Hongyong ventured into the world, and the two complemented each other's personalities and even became good friends. Rumor has it that this was done intentionally by the two families in order to paralyze the world and leave a way out for both sides.

If something happens to the Zhou family, the Xie family will have a way out; similarly, if something happens to the Xie family, the Zhou family will also have a way out.

Although Xie Hong and Zhou Wende guarded the north and south respectively, they exchanged many private letters, which were only known by the heads and heirs of the two families. The rest of the clansmen also thought that the two families were like water and fire, so whenever they met, there would be a storm. This made the world and the superiors believe that the two families were not on good terms.

The Shen and Xie families were insidiously plotted against by the emperor and Cao Chong, who pinned false charges on them out of fear. Let's not talk about the Shen family for now, Xie An will definitely raise an army against the capital in the future. The Zhou and Xie families are close friends, and the Zhou family fully supports the Xie family's revival. One must not get involved with these two families, otherwise there will be trouble.

Now that he has been noticed, he can't just stay away from him, so just make him a casual acquaintance. He should use the style that Song Shiwei used in carrying out tasks in the past, neither refusing nor accepting, neither offending nor making friends.

While they were thinking, they had already arrived at the teahouse. After handing the carriage to the waiter, the three of them walked into the teahouse.

Zhou Yi greeted the two of them with familiarity and went straight to the private room on the second floor. He also ordered a pot of good tea and acted very enthusiastically.

As he was about to sit down, Zhou Yi couldn't help but speak: "The city will hold the Moon Viewing Festival the day after tomorrow. The city is the busiest at this time. Because it is hot during the day, my father decided to hold it at night. Do you want to come? If you miss it, the next time will be three years later."

Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu looked at each other, and both of them became puzzled and interested in the Moon-Watching Festival mentioned by Zhou Yi.

Song Shiwei looked at Zhou Yi: "What is the Moon Watching Festival? What's the reason?"

"The Moon Watching Festival, as the name suggests, is all about looking at the moon. There is no reason for it, it is just a rare event. The day after tomorrow, the moon in the north will turn red, and the area around the moon will be orange-red. It is very rare and appears once every three years. People call it a miracle, so there is the origin of the Moon Watching Festival. On that day, everyone will come out to have fun, and the government will hold a moon watching ceremony to pray for the gods to bless the war to end and the weather to be good. On that day, there will be flower boats traveling on the river in the city, and there will be flower lanterns all along the way, which is extremely spectacular."

The waiter brought in the tea, and Zhou Yi stood up first to pour tea for the two of them. He continued with a smile, "If you come to the city that day, I promise you won't be disappointed. Such a lively scene only happens once every three years. What do you think, Miss Song and Brother Zhangwu, do you want to come?"

Song Shiwei smiled brightly and raised his teacup towards Zhou Yi: "Such a rare event, of course I have to come and see the excitement."

Zhou Yi smiled brightly: "Then I will wait for you two in the city the day after tomorrow."

"You don't have to wait for us. We are not sure when you will come to the city. If we are destined to meet, we will meet naturally. There is no need to wait for you deliberately."

Zhou Yi was not disappointed when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Then I'll leave it to fate the day after tomorrow."

Then the three of them talked about the excitement in the city on that day during the Moon Watching Festival. Zhou Yi noticed that Song Shiwei was always very interested when talking about things in the city, so he pulled the two of them to talk for a long time, and in the end he even felt a little unsatisfied.

"Miss Song, Brother Zhang Wu, you must come the day after tomorrow. If we meet then, I will take you two out to have some fun," Zhou Yi said to the two people in the carriage while standing at the door of the teahouse.

Zhang Wu smiled and nodded: "I will definitely come. It's getting late, Mr. Zhou, please go home early. Goodbye."

After watching the carriage leave, Zhou Yi stood at the entrance of the teahouse. Noticing someone standing next to him, Zhou Yi said proudly, "So, I thought Miss Song would be interested. I won the bet. Remember to send that Ferghana horse to my yard."
