After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

Seeing that Zhou Wan's face was calm and she didn't seem to need comfort, Jiang Fuyue nodded and said with a smile: "I really thought of a way just now. I was thinking of going to see my lady later to ask if it's feasible. No. I came here just because I thought of my wife.”

"Really?!" Madam Zhou was very surprised, and Zhou Wan on the side immediately looked at her eagerly.

Jiang Fuyue nodded again and said: "I planned to pretend to be the only daughter of a wealthy businessman in the capital. I only said that I came here to experience the local customs, but I didn't expect that there would be a famine. Fortunately, I met Mrs. Zhou on the way. Only then can I successfully enter Liangzhou City, and now, I am going to buy eight hundred taels of grain and distribute it to the people for free."

"Eight hundred taels of silver is quite a lot, and I'm afraid the ordinary local snakes around here won't be able to afford it, so if you want to find it, look for the one with the most power and prestige."

Madam Zhou was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at each other with Zhou Wan.

After a while, Mrs. Zhou said: "Girl, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, isn't it? Those people are already arrogant, and they have already speculated on grain at a price as high as a hundred dollars per dou of rice. We just accept it and still want to send the money?"

Eight hundred taels of silver is not a small sum of money in the capital, let alone in the relatively remote Liangzhou area, but it is a real huge sum of money.

What makes Madam Zhou even more dissatisfied is that those people usually bully men and dominate women and do all kinds of evil. Now they are taking advantage of the situation to make a fortune, and they even take the initiative to give money to them!

"If I want to make friends with them, I naturally have to pay something. Anyway, the people around me now have nothing to eat. If I do this, I can not only achieve my original goal, but also let the people have a full meal. Isn't it the best of both worlds?" Jiang Fuyue said.

"This..." Mrs. Zhou was still a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Zhou Wan said: "Young lady, you don't know. Those people love to bully men and dominate women, and their hands are stained with blood. Trading with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. I'm afraid...it will hurt us."

Hearing this, Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but frown.

I originally thought that those people were just relying on their power to be a little more difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect that these people had blood on their hands.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fuyue subconsciously looked at Mrs. Zhou.

It seems that Mrs. Zhou's hardships in her early years were far beyond her imagination.

Maybe, some of the friends Mrs. Zhou brought here in her early years died directly or indirectly at the hands of those local snakes.

In this case, it is no wonder that Madam Zhou is so obviously resistant to this matter.

Behind them, Jingzhe Guyu and Bailu Hanlu also looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

It is said that strong dragons cannot defeat local snakes, what's more, they are not even strong dragons. This place is remote, and if those people are really cruel, they will only die.

"Girl, why don't we think about it carefully," Jingzhe advised, "Anyway, as you said, the people from the court are on their way, and...it won't be less than a month, right?"

Jingzhe's words were full of doubts at the end.

Apparently, she couldn't even convince herself.

One month.

Enough for a few more mountains of corpses outside the city.

Mrs. Zhou thought about what Jingzhe said and made up her mind in an instant: "Girl, seriously... is this the only way?"

Jiang Fuyue sighed: "Right now, I really have no other choice."

After hearing this, Madam Zhou hit the table with her fist, and finally made a decision: "Then do it!"

Seeing this, Zhou Wan's slightly frowned brows instantly relaxed.

"But when it comes to dealing with them, the girl should not come forward." Madam Zhou turned to look at Zhou Wan, "Wan'er, go and have a good chat with Liu Bohua in person about buying food. If he wants to see the girl, let him in Liangzhou City!”

After all, Liangzhou City is their territory. When the time comes, Mrs. Zhou can also ask the government to come forward for protection, and she can always keep Jiang Fuyue safe.

Zhou Wan nodded and responded warmly: "Yes."

"Let Wan'er go?" Jiang Fuyue suddenly felt worried.

Is it really possible for Zhou Wan, with her thin arms and legs, to...

Seeing the worry in Jiang Fuyue's eyes, Zhou Wan said with a smile: "Girl, don't worry about me. I grew up here and this is not the first time I have dealt with them. I will be fine."

Hearing this, Jiang Fuyue felt relieved and asked Gu Yu to take out the box containing the money.

As soon as the box was opened, Zhou Wan's eyes widened instantly when she saw the banknotes stuffed inside. Madam Zhou also looked surprised.

"Thanks to my wife for traveling thousands of miles to Beijing to plan for me, otherwise I don't know how long it will take to save so much money," Jiang Fuyue said, turning her green-white fingers through the box a few times, and finally He took out a thousand-tael banknote and said, "Just use this one."

Zhou Wan was startled: "Isn't this too showy?"

Asking for eight hundred taels of food, and then casually taking out a thousand-tael bank note, this is too rich!

"It's not all bad to be public," Jiang Fuyue handed the banknote to Gu Yu, who then handed it to Zhou Wan, "Since you are the only daughter of a wealthy businessman in the capital, how can you not be public?"

If it is not public, subsequent matters will not be carried out.

Zhou Wan did not dare to answer and turned to look at Madam Zhou.

Madam Zhou nodded: "Do as the girl says."

Zhou Wan then stretched out her hand to take the silver, folded it properly, and put it in her sleeve, then said firmly: "Don't worry, girl, I will handle this matter beautifully!"

After some small talk, seeing that it was almost dawn, Zhou Wan hurriedly got up to arrange the people who would follow her out of the city later. Madam Zhou and Jiang Fuyue also got up and wandered in the backyard.

"I have been in Liangzhou for so many years. Although my business has been big, I can't make much money," Mrs. Zhou said. "But fortunately, the consumption here is not high. Let's just say that our house is so big. This place, I only spent four thousand taels of silver when I bought it!"

Hearing this, everyone from the capital couldn't help but be shocked.

Such a big place can be won with four thousand taels of silver!

If this were in the capital, forty million taels would probably be enough!

"But, people here are busy making a living and don't know what elegance is, so this garden is big, but it has never been able to create any decent scenery." Mrs. Zhou felt a little regretful.

There are flowers, plants and trees in this garden, but it has no shape and is very careless.

Originally, Mrs. Zhou didn't think it was anything, as long as she had a place to take a walk when she had nothing to do.

But when she visited the capital and found that even the places for pedestrians to rest on the roadside had large and small landscapes, she felt very sad.

Looking at the shapeless garden in front of me, I find it unpleasant.

The two of them were walking around the garden while talking.

Jiang Fuyue looked around and saw that although the yard had not been decorated, it still had the beauty of free growth, which was rare.

After walking forward for a while, I heard a faint complaining voice from the side: "You don't know, we met a lot of poor refugees on the way back! There are also old people and children!

I originally thought that since we brought a lot of rations, it wouldn't hurt to share some with them, but the girl was so hard-hearted that she wouldn't even give one to them! Sigh... I feel so uncomfortable! "
