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

Ever since he stood at the door just now, Xu Jingren noticed this elegant and noble man. It was because of the aura of a superior that this man possessed. Xu Jingren had seen it on the nobles in the capital.

Some people, just standing there, are hard to ignore even if they don't say a word.

Now knowing that the man was the son of General Zhou who guarded the northern border and maintained peace, Xu Jingren stood in awe and bowed to Zhou Huai with a straight body: "I have heard that the eldest son of the Zhou family is not only good at managing the family, but also cares about the people and has done many good things for the people of the northern border. Now I finally meet him. I meet the eldest son."

Zhou Huai personally walked up to Xu Jingren, gently lifted his hand, and said in a gentle tone: "Dr. Xu is a skilled doctor, and I have heard that, so I would like Qianxue to recommend some. What Qianxue said just now is also my wish. You two can use the Zhou family's medicinal materials. However, if you two really develop a prescription to prevent the plague, please let me know. I also want to do my part for the people of the northern border."

A sincere speech.

Meeting that pair of sincere eyes, Xu Jingren was no longer on guard and had a more intuitive understanding of Zhou Huai.

It is no wonder that the people praise him so much. It is a blessing for the people to have such a leader who always cares about the people.

Xu Jingren finally smiled and nodded in agreement: "My Lord, you are kind-hearted, but developing a prescription is very difficult and requires constant trial and error. I am afraid that I will disappoint you all."

"Doctor Xu, don't be stressed. If you can develop a cure, that would be great. But if you can't, that's fine. Shi Wei has already given you a prescription for curing the plague."

Xu Jingren looked at him in surprise: "Young Master, you know Miss Song?"

Zhou Huai nodded reservedly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly became gentle: "Shi Wei and I are very familiar with each other."

"So that's the case, and it's as it should be. It's normal for someone as outstanding as Miss Song to be familiar with the eldest young master."

However, Shen Qianxue and her brother who were sitting next to them were very surprised. They had been in contact with Zhou Huai for a long time and had a relationship with Xie Hong and Zhou Wende. Today was also the first time they saw Zhou Huai like this.

How should I put it? Whenever I met Zhou Huai in the past, he always looked calm and composed no matter when and where he was. Even when he heard about natural disasters such as extreme cold and floods, he remained calm.

And now I heard him call a woman's name so intimately, with a somewhat charming and affectionate expression and tone. The key point is that this woman is Song Shiwei!

Even Shen Qianxue, who had lived her life again, couldn't help but feel shocked.

Facing the two people's scorching gazes, Zhou Huai sat down calmly and drank water as if nothing had happened. The scene just now seemed like an illusion to them.

After receiving Xu Jingren's affirmative answer, several people said goodbye and left. Before leaving, Zhou Huai asked Li An to bring some medicinal herbs over in front of Xu Jingren. These were all what Xu Jingren and his disciples needed at the moment.

The carriage drove for a while before Shen Qianxue spoke to break the silence in the carriage and looked at Zhou Huai with a smile: "Brother Zhou and Miss Song have a very special relationship, right?"

Zhou Huai did not feel happy, but said solemnly: "Shi Wei and I are friends, it's not unusual. This is about a woman's reputation, so don't say such things again in the future."

Expressing it in front of Xu Jingren is one thing, and expressing it in front of others is another. Zhou Huai did not hide his feelings for Song Shiwei, but since it concerns a woman's reputation, if such words were to get to the ears of others, it would only cause trouble.

Zhou Huai rarely looked like this, even Shen Qianxue was stunned for a moment, but after she reacted, she still had a smile on her face: "Don't worry, Brother Zhou, I know the severity of the situation and will never let anyone else hear about it."

Seeing this, Shen Yan, who was standing by, took over the conversation and said jokingly, "Brother Zhou, you can't blame Qianxue. Isn't it Uncle Zhou who is always worried about your marriage? He often talks about it to Uncle Xie, and Uncle Xie keeps talking to Qianxue about it. Everyone is concerned about your marriage."

Zhou Huai said sternly: "It is my fault that I have caused my elders to worry about me, but I am still young and have no intention of getting married."

Shen Yan smiled and said, "That's right. For a man as talented as Brother Zhou, ordinary women would not be in your eyes. Now there are only three of us, and we will never tell others what we say. To be honest, if Brother Zhou and Miss Song fall in love with each other, it would be a great thing in my opinion."

Facing Zhou Huai's fluctuating eyes, Shen Yan continued, "We have been with Miss Song for a long time. Not to mention that we admire her extraordinary skills, even Uncle Xie praises her intelligence and sharpness. If Uncle Zhou knew, he would definitely approve of you and Miss Song. I just don't know what stage Brother Zhou and Miss Song are in now."

Zhou Huai suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, and after a while he spoke: "Shi Wei...I am not in the mood for love."

Well, I guessed it was like this, Shen Yan was suddenly a little disappointed.

Unlike Shen Yan's disappointment, Shen Qianxue on the side was surprised: "Miss Song is not in the mood for love?"

Zhou Huai recalled the indifference that could not be ignored under Song Shi's radiant smile that day. He turned his head to look at the raindrops outside the window, and said with a somewhat melancholy tone: "She said she would never marry in her life."

"Miss Song...how could she think like that? It is natural for a woman to get married. How could a girl not get married? Isn't she afraid of other people's strange looks and gossip?" Shen Qianxue really didn't understand why Song Shiwei would say such a thing. A woman's life is already difficult. If she doesn't have a good man to accompany her, wouldn't she be lonely?

"That's what makes her special. Shi Wei doesn't care what others think."

Shen Yan nodded in agreement: "Miss Song really doesn't care what others say. With her personality, as long as you don't say it in front of her, she won't bother to pay attention. Sometimes I think about it, I envy her. She can stand in the world freely with her own abilities, not afraid of any power, and not bowing to anyone, just because of her strong abilities."

Shen Qianxue glanced at him sideways: "So, if you are envious, then work hard to learn skills. As long as you are capable, no one will control your life anymore."

If the Shen family was really powerful, even if the emperor was afraid of them, he would not dare to exile the Shen family for any reason, and Cao Chong would not dare to shake the Shen family.

Ultimately, the family is not strong enough to intimidate the government and the public.

Shen Yan was so scared that he dared not say a word, but he secretly swore in his heart that sooner or later he would return all the humiliation and slander suffered by the Shen family.

Zhou Huai remained silent, with Shen Yan's words just now constantly ringing in his mind, and he carefully pondered over Song Shiwei.

The carriage soon arrived at Zhou's house. Everyone had their own feelings today, and they went back to their rooms after entering the house.

Li An also had to arrange for someone to deliver medicinal materials to Xu Jingren, hoping that the two doctors Xu could develop a prescription to prevent the plague and save the people from disaster.

As for the two plague prescriptions given by Song Shiwei, they did not cause much sensation. The Dali Dynasty had experienced several plagues and had experience and prescriptions for treating the plague.

Apart from the highly skilled doctors who could see the preciousness of the two prescriptions, laymen like Zhou Huai and Shen Qianxue naturally did not know how precious the two prescriptions were, and Xu Jingren did not explain this to others.

I really don't have the time to explain, my mind is solely focused on the pickling recipe.
