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

What he said was quite frank. Song Shiwei knew that Li Ang was not negligent. It was probably that the people below him did not take it seriously. However, how could he give him a good face when his own people were wronged?

After a while, Song Shiwei opened her red lips and said, "Even so, you also have a responsibility."

Li An clasped his fists and said, "It was my fault. Miss Ren said so. I will do my best to make up for it."

"Forget it. It's fate. What has already happened cannot be made up for. If you treat her with sincerity, we can still get along as usual."

Li An lowered his head and agreed, thinking in his heart how to deal with those servants who did not take his words seriously when he returned.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot one thing. The leather I prepared for you has been prepared. I was in such a hurry this time that I forgot to get it. I will send it to you tomorrow. Or you can think about whether you want to make something with the leather. It happens that the embroidery lady in the mansion has pretty good skills."

Song Shiwei thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow I will take Ruer to Zhou's house to get her measurements and make her two sets of clothes and leather boots."

"It is a blessing for Ruer that Miss Song is thinking so much about her."

Song Shiwei did not comment: "I am always like this to my own people, why is your young master so stingy with you?"

Li An didn't dare to respond and just smiled dryly.

Li An came here today for Feng Ru, so he would not leave until he saw Feng Ru. So he sat in the main room and chatted with Song Shiwei. Until he noticed that Song Shiwei seemed to like listening to other people's gossip, he told her about the interesting things he had encountered recently. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

But when talking about Shen Qianxue, Song Shi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Shen Qianxue? Xie An's fiancée?"

Li An just mentioned it hastily, but he didn't expect Song Shiwei to ask about it. However, thinking about what he had learned, Li An smiled and nodded: "I forgot that Miss Song and Miss Qianxue had traveled together before."

"We did travel together for a while, but we were not familiar with each other."

Li An raised his eyebrows. This was completely different from what he had heard. Miss Qianxue said that she was very familiar with Miss Song. Master Xie and Master Shen also praised Miss Song highly. Even the former General Xie looked at Miss Song differently.

Li An privately thought that Miss Song must have had a very pleasant time with them during the time they were together, so he did not hesitate to mention Miss Qianxue and the others.

Why do I feel unfamiliar when I get to Miss Song's place?

Seeing that Li An didn't say a word, Song Shiwei immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you continue?"

Li An said, "Nothing much, it's just that the place where Miss Qianxue and the others are is very desolate and remote. The village is close to the border, and most of the people in the village were exiled there for committing crimes. Many people died of the extreme cold this time. Miss Qianxue found a kind of food in the mountains that is very resistant to hunger. Our young master went there this time just for the food."

Song Shiwei seemed to be thinking: "Your Excellency is planning to plant on a large scale?"

Li An's eyes lit up immediately: "How do you know, young lady? My master thinks so. I heard from Miss Qianxue that the food is very filling and not picky about the land. If it is planted well, the yield next year will be amazing."

Song Shiwei had little interest in crops and looked uninterested.

Zhang Wu and Feng Ru came back at this time, one carrying firewood and the other holding a basket of vegetables.

As soon as Li An saw Feng Ru, he strode over and said, "Ru'er."

Feng Ru saw that Li An was also surprised and smiled: "Brother Li An, why are you here?"

"I went to look for you as soon as I got back. I learned that you came to Miss Song's place, so I came. Ru'er, your mother's matter is my fault."

Feng Ru shook her head repeatedly, her eyes red as she said, "Don't blame Brother Li An. My mother fell because she loved me. I don't blame anyone else."

Li An's throat was blocked: "That's my fault. If my subordinates had disciplined you strictly, those people would not have treated you badly. Maybe your mother could have been saved."

Feng Ru smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "It's not Brother Li An's fault. The doctor said that my mother fell and broke her head. Unless she was treated in time when she fell, it would be too late."

Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu stood silently by and listened to them talk, but Zhang Wu felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing and took the initiative to speak.

"Well, it has already happened. We have to look forward. It is useless to regret it now. Brother Li, don't blame yourself. You don't want this to happen, and neither does Ru'er. Your mother doesn't want you to live in sadness every day. Life must go on."

Seeing that Zhang Wu had something to say, Song Shiwei waved his hand and asked Feng Ru to take Li An to her room to talk.

After everyone left, he looked at Zhang Wu and said, "Go ahead."

"When I came back from the Huang family, I met the village chief Wei of Xiahuang Village. He said that the capital would send people to inspect the northern border in a while. I don't know whether this is true or not."

Since the fireball attack on the capital, the emperor has been unable to take care of himself. After all, those fireballs were all thrown at the palace. Although the people in the city were injured, they did not know how serious the casualties were. According to the plot in the book, the emperor has been busy repairing the palace during this period and should not have sent officials to inspect, unless something unexpected happened during this period.

Ever since he met Shen Qianxue, the information the system left for him disappeared. Now he has to rely on Song Shiwei's extraordinary memory to know the development of the plot. Now it seems that the plot in the book has changed, but he doesn't know whether it is because of him or Shen Qianxue.

Song Shiwei thought for a moment and waved his hand, his face calm and his voice calm: "It's none of our business, don't pay attention to it."

"I am not worried, but I feel that the village chief of Xiahuang Village is not a simple person. He tried to contact me before, but I don't know if he has bad intentions."

"We'll know his background by asking Li An later. As for the rest, I don't think he has any bad intentions."

Zhang Wu thought about it and felt that it was right: "Then I will go cook first and ask Brother Li during the meal."

Therefore, during lunch, Zhang Wu asked about the doubts in his mind.

Li An was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "The Wei Xiong from Xiahuang Village? I know that Wei Xiong is a kind person and is responsible for the people in his village. However, compared with your village chief, he has more thoughts and is more cautious in his actions. When he saw me bringing Miss Song to the village before, he probably guessed Miss Song's origins;

Besides, his son joined the army a few years ago and is now serving under General Zhou. It is said that he has performed very well and has no background, but he is inevitably taking care of him for the sake of his son. As for where he heard the news, it must have been leaked by the noble families in the city."

Facing three pairs of shining eyes, Li An laughed and continued, "It's not a secret. Every three years, the capital will send officials to inspect. Many people know this. This year is the third year, but we haven't received any news about the officials' departure yet."

Zhang Wu was speechless. Looking at Wei Xiong's mysterious look, he thought it was some big deal.

Is this the result?

Li An left after lunch and gave Feng Ru some instructions before leaving.

Before going to bed, Song Shiwei told the two of them about going into the city tomorrow, and then went back to his room to sleep.
