Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

As soon as Nanny Zhu left, Gu Feiwan opened the window. At this moment, she just wanted to see Ning Weizhou.

In the middle of the night, Gu Feiwan supported his head with his wrists and vaguely heard some movement towards the window!

She shuddered and suddenly woke up!

"Why are you waiting here?" It turned out to be Ning Weizhou!

His face was filled with heartache. He quickly took off his raincoat and outer coat before hugging Gu Feiwan:

"Even if you have to wait, you have to lie down on the bed. If I don't come, are you going to sit there all night?"

Gu Feiwan did not say anything like she usually did. Instead, she was as obedient as a cat. She hugged Ning Weizhou with her backhand, resting her head firmly on his chest, and said softly:

"I just missed you!"

Ning Weizhou threw all the remaining words of blame into the sky!

"I miss you as well!"

The two of them sat together in front of the window, looking at the heavy rain outside.

"Are you worried about your second brother?"

"Ok!"

"Don't worry, besides Ahri, there are also my people around him, and nothing will happen to him."

"Is there a breach in the riverbank?" Gu Feiwan's voice was trembling.

Ning Weizhou was silent for a while, and hugged the person on his knees tightly: "After the second brother went to Anping, he had people repair the levee day and night, but there was still not enough time. Shen Zhili spent all his attention on the river levee, and most of the officials in Anping were corrupt. Even if the second brother had great ability, he could not be foolproof."

"But fortunately, the river embankments that have been repaired in the past few months are all made of real materials and have withstood this flood. However, there are still two holes that were washed away by the flood. Fortunately, the people downstream had already been forcibly relocated by my second brother. The flood destroyed houses and fertile fields, and the people suffered serious losses, but as long as people are still there, there is hope."

Gu Feiwan listened silently. In the face of natural disasters, ordinary people were particularly miserable.

The prices in Wuzhou city have been rising wave after wave, but Sheng Yanhua closed the rice shop. Everyone knows that Boss Sheng wants to hoard supplies and drive up the price of something as important as rice to a sky-high level in order to make a fortune!

A few days ago, Gu Feiwan had asked Manager Huang to allocate grain from surrounding areas. No matter whether it was refined rice or brown rice, as long as it could fill the stomach, all of it would be shipped to Jiangnan.

Although the Gu family has no shortage of food in their granary in Wuzhou, all the roads leading to the outside world have been destroyed and food from outside can no longer come in. The food is not enough for the people in the city to eat for a few days.

Thinking further ahead, Jiangnan has always been a land of plenty, with rice being the most cultivated crop. This flood destroyed so many fertile fields that a poor harvest is inevitable.

If the rice harvest fails in autumn, famine will not only affect the people in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the entire Wu State.

After the flood, there will be a plague. If it cannot be controlled, it will be an even greater disaster!

"Xiao Zhou, I'm afraid..." People are too weak in the face of natural disasters.

Ning Weizhou gently patted Gu Feiwan's back: "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you!"

"My second brother had anticipated this year's flood, so he was determined to go to Anping. If it weren't for my second brother, not only would the entire city of Anping be flooded, but at least half of the 32 cities in Jiangnan would be affected."

"So you see, human power can overcome nature!"

Gu Feiwan raised his head and touched Ning Weizhou's face: "Have you not closed your eyes for a long time? Your beard has grown so high!"

The fatigue on Ning Weizhou's face was very obvious. Although he tried his best to hide it, it still did not escape Gu Feiwan's eyes.

"Sleep with me for a while, until the rooster crows, then leave, otherwise I won't let you go!"

"it is good!"

As soon as the two of them lay down, Gu Feiwan heard Ning Weizhou's gentle snoring.

He is really tired!

Gu Feiwan gently stroked her lover's face. She didn't know how dangerous the outside world was, but her man was the patron saint of the Wu State. She could only keep him for one night and had to return him to the people before dawn.

Ning Weizhou subconsciously hugged the person next to him tightly in his sleep!

Another two difficult days passed, and the heavy rain finally turned into light rain. Although the rustling sound was annoying, everyone finally had a look of relief on their faces.

As long as the rain slows down, the pressure on disaster prevention will be reduced, and the damaged roads and river embankments will have a chance to be repaired.

Gu Feiwan was discussing the grain issue with Huang the shopkeeper in the front hall. Sheng Yanhua was unwilling to sell the rice. Now only Gu's rice shop had grain for sale in the whole Wuzhou.

"From today on, rice and grain stores will limit sales." Gu Feiwan pondered for a moment and said:

"Only half a liter per person per day, never more!"

Shopkeeper Huang nodded and said, "Young lady, your idea is very good. Our rice shop has never raised the price since the rain. I have always had people watching. Whenever someone buys in large quantities, I will ask my assistants to check the source of the rice. If the source is unknown, I will not sell it to them."

"You thought of me before me. If someone like this comes to buy food in the future, just scold him."

The time after a disaster is the most testing time for people's hearts. The prices of daily necessities will surely rise sharply. Unscrupulous businessmen will not only sell them at high prices, but also pass inferior products off as good ones. All kinds of dirty tricks will emerge in an endless stream. You cannot be polite at this time.

"Also, assign more people to guard the medicine warehouse. Disasters are often followed by plagues. Ask the clinic to make some commonly used plague-clearing pills now. Only by being prepared can we avoid disasters!"

Huang, the shopkeeper, wrote down all of Gu Feiwan's instructions.

After everything was discussed, Gu Feiwan asked, "How is Qinglin doing with your studies?"

"Miss Qinglin is talented. Given time, she will be able to take charge of the 32 cities in Jiangnan!" Shopkeeper Huang said as he gave a thumbs up.

Gu Feiwan smiled and said, "You don't have to test me. Qinglin will not stay here. She will go back to the capital with me."

Shopkeeper Huang stood up quickly and said, "I said all the truth, and I had no intention of testing the girl."

As the two were talking, Qingshuang appeared at the door:

"Girl, someone is coming from the lakeside house."

When Shopkeeper Huang heard this, he immediately took his leave.

After the people left, Qing Shuang spat and said bitterly, "It was said that the rain was too heavy and the water from the lake had overflowed. They were worried that the house would be flooded, so they wanted to move to Liuyuan."

Gu Feiwan raised his eyebrows. He didn't mention moving in when it was raining heavily before, but now that the rain has subsided, he wants to move in instead. What is he trying to do?

"Call the person in and I'll ask him."

Hearing that Gu Feiwan wanted to meet the person coming over there, Qingshuang pouted her lips and was very reluctant. She didn't want to go herself, so she sent a little girl to call someone.

The person who came to the lakeside house was a nanny. Gu Feiwan felt that she was unfamiliar.

"Greetings to the mistress. I am the maidservant of Aunt Liu. My husband's surname is Wu."

Gu Fei looked her over in the evening. This Madam Wu was quite dignified and neither humble nor arrogant. She just lowered her brows and let her look at her.

"Madam Wu, why are you here?" Gu Feiwan asked knowingly.
