Chapter 287 Discovery
Liu said, "That being said, the Emperor personally ordered Prince Ning's birthday banquet next month. Even if it has nothing to do with you, you still have to show up."
"I really don't want to go!" Yuan Ziyu curled her lips: "When I see Yuan Zitong, I want to beat her up. That Xuanyuan Xiao makes me even more angry!"
"Okay, he is Prince Ning now after all. When you are outside, you are not allowed to call him by his name. Be careful not to bring trouble to your father!" Liu warned.
"Don't worry, Mom, I won't tell anyone about it outside!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.
Liu nodded and stroked Yuan Ziyu's hair. "You'er, I know you don't want to go, but this time is different. You just need to show up and deal with it. Remember not to get into a fight with Tong. After all, she is Prince Ning's concubine now. If you offend him, given his temper, I'm afraid he will try to trip you up."
"I understand, Mom. I will just ignore Yuan Zitong!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.
Only then did Liu nod in relief.
"Oh, right, Mom!" Yuan Ziyu suddenly thought of something: "Where are my eldest and second brothers? Why haven't I seen them in the past few days?"
Liu smiled and said, "Your eldest brother is out playing with Miss Xun. As for your second brother, I haven't seen him much lately. I don't know what he's been busy with."
Yuan Ziyu blinked her eyes. Well, none of them were here. She had been thinking of going to find Cui Ruxun to play with her later. As for Cui Rusu, she had no time to play with them now. She was going to get married next month, and she was busy embroidering her dowry in her room!
"You'er..." Liu was about to say something when she heard the little girl in the yard outside exclaim: "Oh, it's raining, hurry up and put the things in!"
Upon hearing this, Liu and Yuan Ziyu looked outside and saw raindrops as big as beans falling down with a crackling sound. Soon, they formed white lines.
"I don't know what's going on this year, the rain is getting heavier!" Liu looked at the rain outside and sighed.
Yuan Ziyou's heart moved, and she asked, "Mom, is the rain heavier this year than in previous years?"
"Yes!" Liu nodded. "I haven't seen such heavy rain in many years."
Yuan Ziyou frowned slightly when he heard this. Seeing this, Liu asked, "You'er, what are you thinking about?"
"Mom!" Yuan Ziyou asked, "If the rain keeps falling like this, will there be a flood?"
Upon hearing this, Liu's face darkened and she said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered this. If the rain continues at this rate, and if other places experience torrential downpours like this, there's a real possibility of a flood."
As she spoke, Liu sighed again, "I hope there won't be any more disasters. Ordinary people can't stand it."
"Oh, right, mother!" Yuan Ziyou asked hurriedly, "I told you last year not to sell the grain harvested from the farm yet, but to store it. Have you told Uncle Liu and the others about this?"
Liu smiled and said, "Of course I have given instructions. Right now, all the grain from last year is still in the granary. Uncle Liu hasn't sold a single grain. You'er, why did you think of giving me these instructions? Will the grain be useful?"
"Originally, I asked you to stock up on food because I was worried that my elder and second brothers' grain shop might not have enough food. But I didn't know that you couldn't use it later, so I forgot to tell you!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile. As for the flood, it wasn't easy for Yuan Ziyu to tell Liu about it, so he had to use the grain shop as an excuse.
Yuan Ziyou thought for a moment and said, "Mom, please tell Uncle Liu not to deal with the grain in the granary. I see that the rain has been unusually heavy this year. If it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be floods. If that happens, there might be refugees near the capital. We can use this grain to build a tent and make porridge, which can also contribute to Dad's reputation."
"Okay, let's do as you say!" Liu would naturally not object!
"Thank you, mother!"
That night, Yuan Ziyu harvested another batch of grain in Qiongjiang Pavilion and piled it all in the warehouse.
Over the past year, a lot of grain and vegetables have been stored in the warehouse of Qiongjiang Pavilion. Fortunately, the large vats in the warehouse have never been full, otherwise with so much grain, vegetables and fruits piled together, I am afraid that Qiongjiang Pavilion will have nowhere to put them.
The heavy rain lasted for three days before it stopped. Taking advantage of the clear weather, Yuan Ziyu went to the medicinal herb farm in Qingliu Village to check on the situation of the medicinal herbs. If a flood really happened, these medicinal herbs could save lives.
"Second Miss!" Shi Mi was extremely happy to see Yuan Ziyu coming, and she was busy serving her tea and water. "You are finally back. I heard that you followed the prince to encircle and suppress Youye Tower. That was so dangerous. You are a girl, you must not take such risks in the future!"
"I heard?" Yuan Ziyou didn't expect Shi Mi to know about your visit to Youye Tower. "Who told you that?"
"Chongshan!" Shi Mi said with a smile, "Recently, the Second Young Master has been taking a girl hunting nearby, and sometimes they come to the farm. Chongshan mentioned this when I was chatting with him."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ziyou smiled and said to Shi Mi, "The rest of this is what you want to tell me, right?"
"Second Miss is wise!" Shi Mi smiled and said, "Indeed, it is. It's mainly because of the heavy rain these days that the roads are slippery. I'm afraid it's not safe to go hunting in the mountains. I can't tell the Second Young Master, and I hope Second Miss can persuade him. But I am really worried about you."
"Of course I know what you mean!" Yuan Ziyou smiled and asked, "Did they go up the mountain today? Do you know where that girl came from?"
"It seems to be the eldest daughter of the Ji family!" Shi Mi said hurriedly: "The second young master and the eldest daughter of the Ji family also came to hunt today. Chongshan left a message before, and they will probably be back soon."
Miss Ji?
A girl's face flashed through Yuan Ziyou's mind. Could it be the girl from the family of Ji Daxueshi? Ji Huaixuan's sister?
"Qingzhi?" Yuan Ziyu and Shi Mi were talking when they heard Yuan Zining's voice outside the door: "You're here, is my little sister here too?"
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Ziyu saw Yuan Zining and Ji Nuanqing walking in!
“Second brother!”
"Little sister!"
"Miss Yuan Er!"
The three of them exchanged greetings. Yuan Ziyu smiled and looked at Yuan Zining and Ji Nuanqing and said, "Did I miss something?"
After hearing Yuan Ziyu's words, Ji Nuanqing lowered her head slightly feeling a little embarrassed.
Yuan Zining chuckled: "Little sister, did you figure it out?"
After hearing Yuan Zining's words, Ji Nuanqing felt even more embarrassed and quickly stood up and said, "Well, I'll go change."
After saying that, he quickly left with Shixiang.
Yuan Ziyu knew that Ji Nuanqing was shy, so he asked Yuan Zining, "Second brother, are you serious?"
