Wanfu Villa
In the Wan Mansion's villa, Master Wan San was sitting in his study, busy dealing with the mountain of affairs. He felt extremely irritated and had a splitting headache.
At this moment, the housekeeper came in carefully carrying a cup of tonic and said softly, "Master, Miss Su wants to see you."
Hearing the words "Miss Su", Master Wan San frowned slightly.
Su Yin?!
She is not the kind of person who would come to visit me for no reason, nor is she the kind of person who would always try to curry favor with me after finding out who I am.
Hmm... I guess there is something important to discuss.
"Please ask her to come over."
Not long after, Su Yin came to the study.
Master Wan San took one look at Su Yin's expression and knew something was wrong.
He waved his hand, and the housekeeper immediately understood what he meant. He led the maids and servants out of the door and gently closed the door of the study.
"Su girl, what happened?"
Why does she have to make another trip so late?
"Fat Master, I want to ask if your company has any ships heading to Jiangnan recently?"
"As for the ships heading to Jiangnan in the near future..." Master Wan San thought for a moment and replied, "There is one. It is the ship that will take you to Jiangnan the day after tomorrow."
So that's it! No wonder Fatty still doesn't know the situation in Jiangnan.
Master Wan San slowly put the account book in his hand on the table, frowned slightly, and asked, "But what happened?"
"I just received news that there may be a large-scale flood in the Jiangnan area, and the situation is expected to be quite serious."
"Flood?" Master Wan San was not particularly surprised.
After all, the Jiangnan region has a lot of rain, and every few years there will always be a state that suffers from floods.
“Yes, it’s the flood.”
Wan Sanye nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, "Thank you for coming all the way to tell me this."
Su Yin noticed that Master Wan San didn't seem to take the impending flood too seriously, so she couldn't help but remind him again: "After I went back, I happened to meet a few people who sail in the Jiangnan area all year round. From their conversation, I learned that this flood in Jiangnan might be more severe than any previous one."
"You also have a lot of businesses in Jiangnan, so Fatty, you have to make plans as soon as possible." Su Yin said earnestly.
Mr. Wan San was very grateful for Su Yin's kind reminder.
"You are so thoughtful." Mr. Wan San nodded, indicating that he had taken note of it and appreciated the kindness.
Floods are one thing, but they are not the most important thing. What is more important is the plague.
Su Yin spoke again, "Fatty, do you still remember the corpse pit we saw when we passed by Baiji County?"
When he mentioned the corpse pit, Mr. Wan San couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
"Of course I remember this."
"If this flood is large-scale, affects a wide area, and causes severe damage, and it happens to coincide with an outbreak in Baiji County, what do you think the situation will be like?" Su Yin asked word by word, with worry on her face.
Master Wan San thought for a moment and his expression became solemn.
If these two collide with each other, it will probably be a disaster.
Master Wan San had to take it seriously. "You've thought it through very carefully. I'm afraid that the situation you described... will really happen."
Su Yin has the memories of her father's previous life, so she naturally knows that this incident is 100% likely to happen.
She has been notified, so the mission is accomplished.
"The day after tomorrow, we will not go to Jiangnan. After we pack up tomorrow, if things go well, we will leave for Shangjing City in the afternoon tomorrow."
"Are you going to the capital?" Master Wan San was a little surprised.
Su Yin nodded, "Yes. After all, Shangjing City is under the feet of the emperor, and there are many princes and nobles. If that thing really happened, perhaps it would be the only pure land there."
I dare not tell him 100%, but I can reveal this information to him. With Fatty's intelligence, he will definitely understand.
Master Wan San said, "The further north we go, the more intense the inspections will be, especially in Shangjing City."
Su Yin understood what he meant.
"I have asked someone to help you apply for a new batch of household registration certificates." Mr. Wan San said.
Dad can certainly get the household registration certificate, but after all, he doesn't have the final say in Baishan Hall, and he is involved with mysterious forces, so he is naturally not suitable for doing such a thing.
Master Wan San is different. It would be great if he could help.
"Thank you, Fatty." Su Yin thanked him from the bottom of her heart.
"Why should we be polite to each other?" Master Wan San stroked the beads on his wrist and continued, "As soon as the household registration certificate is ready, I will have the steward send it to you as soon as possible."
"good."
Su Yin looked up at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late. I have to go back."
If you don't leave now, it will be curfew time and you will have to rush back then.
Master Wan San personally escorted Su Yin to the door and asked the carriage in the mansion to take her back.
When I returned to the inn, Butcher Yang and my uncle had not come back yet.
She and her aunt were waiting in the lobby of the inn. The curfew was about to begin, but there was no sign of the two of them. Everyone became anxious.
"Why haven't you come back yet?"
"In another cup of tea, the door of the inn will be closed."
The innkeeper knew that they were all guests of the host, so he took good care of them and served them free tea and snacks. Seeing that they were anxious, he comforted them, "Even if it's curfew, it's okay as long as you haven't been seen by the patrolling yamen runners."
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures appeared at the door.
Looking at the two familiar figures, my aunt-in-law stood up happily.
"Finally I'm back."
Yang Dahe looked at his relatives who were waiting for him. Some things were not convenient to say in front of outsiders, so he asked everyone to go back to their rooms.
The adults from the three families gathered in Yang Dahe's house.
Butcher Yang spoke first, reporting the situation over there, "After hearing what you said, they all agreed to change the route to Shangjing City."
Yang Dahe followed up by saying, “Both Shuiyuexuan and Qingfeng Inn have agreed.”
In fact, Su Yin guessed this result, but to actually hear them agree was also a kind of trust and affirmation for her.
"Okay. Tomorrow we will prepare some things for the trip to Shangjing City. It's a long journey to Shangjing City, and we don't know what kind of dangers we will encounter, so we need to prepare more."
Everyone nodded.
Through their experiences of fleeing, they all knew clearly what were the most necessary things on the road, what were secondary, and what could be done without.
"Everyone should think carefully about what they need to buy tonight. The sooner we buy it, the sooner we can leave."
"Um."
After everyone returned to their rooms, Su Yin began to think about what supplies he should get for his family.
It is summer in the south now and the weather is hot, but as they move north, the weather will gradually become cooler, so they need to prepare some thick clothes.
If a plague is about to break out, it’s better to prepare more medicinal herbs and other things.
For example, medicinal materials for treating high fever, itching, etc.
