"Li'er, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Fan walked over to her and sat down, adjusting his smile and looking at her in the same cheeky way as usual.
Jiang Ranli came back to his senses after hearing the voice and said, "It will be June in two days. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but there is no sign of rain. Most of the crops planted by the people have died of drought. I'm afraid the situation this year is more serious than we expected."
Since April, rainfall has been extremely scarce. By the end of May, most of the crops grown by the people had died of drought. Thinking of the recent price gouging by some grain merchants in Shandong, Jiang Ranli's brows were furrowed.
Jiang Fan sighed when he heard this. The situation in Shandong this year was really bad.
The two were each thinking silently about something when the housekeeper of the mansion came over.
"Master, Madam, Mr. Wu is here."
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli and Jiang Fan's eyes lit up with joy, and they quickly stood up and walked towards the main hall.
In the main hall.
Wu Yanqing smiled as he watched the approaching figure, and couldn't wait to stand up and greet it.
"Li'er".
"Yanqing".
Jiang Ranli looked at the elegant and handsome man in front of her with a smile. When she escaped from Yinzhen's villa, she went to Jinan with Jiang Fan, thinking of no longer having contact with anyone from the past. However, she happened to meet Wu Yanqing who came to Shandong to handle affairs. So, Wu Yanqing became the only person who had contact with her past.
Wu Yanqing had heard about her situation, but he was not very clear about what happened. He had a lot of doubts in his mind, but seeing that Jiang Ranli had no injuries but was exhausted, he did not ask any more questions and vowed to keep her secret in Jinan.
At the same time, Wu Yanqing and Jiang Fan hit it off at first sight, and they gradually became close friends and had frequent business dealings. Therefore, in the past three years, Jiang Ranli and Wu Yanqing met often.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a while. Is our Master Wu's eyesight not so good? I'm a grown man here, but you didn't see me?" Jiang Fan crossed his arms and looked at Wu Yanqing unhappily.
Hearing this, Wu Yanqing smiled and said, "I know you are here."
"Do you know I'm here? I don't think so. Wu Yanqing, wait a minute, I'll ask someone to call a doctor for you. You need to find a doctor to take a good look at the look in your eyes," Jiang Fan said as he waved and called the servants.
Seeing this, Wu Yanqing sighed and said, "Hey, I just didn't have time to say hello to you, and you really took it too seriously."
Jiang Fan laughed, "Okay, I'm just teasing you. It's almost noon now. I'll ask someone to prepare food."
After some laughter, Jiang Ranli, Jiang Fan and Wu Yanqing sat together and talked about business.
"After receiving your letter some time ago, I asked people to store food in Henan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places. Now everything is almost ready," Wu Yanqing said, looking at the scorching sun outside, with worry between his brows.
Jiang Ranli also followed his gaze and looked outside, "Every time there is a disaster, there are always some people who want to make a fortune from the disaster, and in the end it is the people who suffer. Yanqing, thank you. If it weren't for you, with the ability of Afan and I, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to store so much food."
As early as when they met with Xu Wanshan and other merchants at Guanquan Pavilion, Jiang Ranli and Jiang Fan felt that the weather this year was not right. In order to be on the safe side, they contacted Wu Yanqing early and asked him to help store food to survive this year's disaster.
Hearing Jiang Ranli's thanks, a trace of imperceptible loss welled up in Wu Yanqing's eyes. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't we agree to be friends? Since we are friends, why should I thank you?"
