Chapter 297 Support
The nanny was extremely anxious, but the little girl who was highly expected by the old lady of the Yang family was more calm and composed:
"Don't be impatient, Madam. You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient. I want to see how long she can keep us trapped here even if she can cover the sky with one hand!
What's more, isn't there an old lady?
When the old lady asks about it later, I want to see how she explains it!"
After hearing what the little girl said, the nanny also realized why she dared to come all the way to touch the tiger's whiskers?
Isn’t it because of the old lady’s support?
Rebels appeared in the Wang family's territory and beat the Wang family members to a pulp. The Wang family is now busy recruiting soldiers and fighting the rebels!
How could he have the time to think about Wang, a married woman who couldn't help the family?
Otherwise, the old lady wouldn't have been so thoughtful about putting people around her!
After thinking about it this way, the wet nurse calmed down again.
It was just that I didn't have enough money on me, and I couldn't even find out any useful information, which was really frustrating.
Wang sent Magistrate Yang out of the door and sat on the beauty couch covered with a sable mattress. She leaned back and listened to Si Xi telling her in vivid detail what the wet nurse and the little maid had said. After listening, she snorted twice and let Si Xi go.
Afterwards, he called several other managers one by one and handled the affairs as usual.
When she had almost finished dealing with most of the things, a manager from the Wang family found her and said, "My uncle has sent me a letter."
After reading the letter from her third brother, Wang hesitated for a moment, then ordered the steward to invite Xia Daohua: "Uncle Zhong, please go and personally invite the lady from the Xia family."
The manager, whom Wang called "Uncle Zhong", took Wang's invitation and went straight to "Daohuaxiang". Although Xia Daohua liked to walk around, he often stayed in this small shop most of the time, quietly checking which products needed to be restocked and which layout needed to be improved...
Uncle Zhong quickly found Xia Daohua. Xia Daohua didn't act pretentiously and directly handed over the store's affairs to Sister Taohua, and followed Uncle Zhong to Yang's house.
All the way she was wondering why Wang was looking for her.
Judging from Uncle Zhong’s serious expression, it shouldn’t be a trivial matter.
Wang invited Xia Daohua to eat some snacks and side dishes that were freshly prepared in the kitchen, and invited her to drink tea. Then she told her purpose:
"I wonder if Madam Xia would be willing to sell me another batch of grain."
It was indeed for food.
However, haven’t all the disaster victims who poured into Jixiang County been resettled? In recent days, even the popular “Puji Rescue” has not received many people.
Xia Daohua's doubts were clearly written on her face, and she asked bluntly. Wang smiled bitterly and said,
“There was a group of rebels in my hometown.
Madam Xia, you may not know that our Wang family has always attached great importance to its reputation for benevolence and virtue since its establishment for more than a thousand years.
In our territory, even if there is a famine, not many people will abandon their homes and flee.
Because, not only will our family waive the rent immediately, we will also do a good job in disaster relief. As for asking the court for money and food, that will only be done after the disaster relief.
Therefore, these rebels are not poor people who are unable to survive due to poverty, but a group of bandits with evil ambitions!
They just saw that the places around Da Chu were in chaos, so they wanted to create chaos and fish in troubled waters!"
Xia Daohua didn't quite believe what Wang said, but she didn't refute it.
After all, ever since County Magistrate Yang and Wang came to Jixiang County, he had witnessed with his own eyes how hard they worked to provide disaster relief.
They actually used the food they bought on the victims.
As for what kind of family the Wang family is, Xia Daohua feels that since they can raise someone like Wang, they must not be too bad.
Of course, if the Wang family is really bad, it is not impossible for me to "enforce justice on behalf of heaven" in the future.
After all, robbing wealth is what I am best at.
Wang first denounced the rebels, and then explained with a bit of embarrassment that a batch of Wang family's food and grass had been burned by the rebels.
It was winter again, and the consumption was much higher. It was inevitable that the Wang family was a little overwhelmed. Wang sincerely hoped that Xia Daohua could help buy some food.
Xia Daohua was in a daze for only a moment, then she suppressed her thoughts that were drifting further and further away, and nodded in response to Wang's request: "Since Madam has asked, I will naturally do my best. How much do you need?"
Wang paused, then said, "Three hundred thousand shi."
Xia Daohua nodded: "Still delivering it at the same warehouse as before?"
Wang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, and then said shyly, "I wonder if I can pay half of the money first?"
Xia Daohua agreed straightforwardly:
"Okay. But the food is not a small amount, so I have to prepare it. Once I have prepared it, I will send someone to your house to deliver the message."
Wang couldn't help but emphasize: "Madam Xia, don't worry, even if the Wang family can't pay for the grain, there are still me and Yang Lang."
Xia Daohua smiled and nodded, comforting Wang:
"It would take three to five days to purchase and collect so much food. Even if it is already in the warehouse, it would take three or two days to transport it to Jixiang County!
Madam, please don't worry. As soon as I get the confirmation, I will come and tell you immediately."
Xia Daohua hopes that the Wang family can win.
After all, the Wang family's territory is not too far from Jixiang County. If there is chaos over there, I'm afraid that this situation will inevitably spread to Ping'an County.
Wang asked "Uncle Zhong" to send Yang's carriage to take Xia Daohua back. She also personally followed the carriage to Xia's house and carried a wooden box for Xia Daohua.
After Uncle Zhong left, Xia Daohua opened the heavy box and saw the silver ingots inside. She immediately smiled.
That night, Xia Daohua went to find the escort agency she had cooperated with last time, hired the same team, and asked them to go to the capital and come back.
Considering that his family and the "Puji Rescue" needed a lot of cloth and cotton, he simply asked the caravan to buy cloth from the capital.
Only the cheapest cotton silk was bought for silk and satin, and the other fabrics were mainly white cloth, woolen blue cloth, coarse hemp cloth, fine cotton cloth, and bright red cloth used in various celebration ceremonies.
In addition, the convoy was asked to buy a lot of cotton.
Before the goods were transported back, Xia Daohua filled the warehouse with grain bags. Afterwards, Xia Daohua stored all the goods in the storage area of the space supermarket. She sent someone to find Wang and asked her to arrange someone to weigh the grain.
Wang was extremely surprised and immediately rushed over with many servants.
When Wang heard that the caravan hired by Xia Daohua was returning from the capital, she couldn't help but feel again that the Xia family was unfathomable.
And the summer rice flowers must be just a cover put up in the open.
After checking the quality of the grain and weighing a few bags herself, Wang suddenly felt extremely relieved.
While she sent someone to deliver a letter to the Wang family, she loaded the car and set off.
Wang's trusted steward and servants set off with a caravan loaded with food, and also took away the letter Wang had written to her brother from her natal family.
Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
