"Mammy, where is Guoguo? Where are Afan and Yanqing?"
Looking around the room, Jiang Ranli was a little surprised that Little Meatball was nowhere to be found. She clearly remembered that Little Meatball was by her side.
Hearing this, a smile flashed across Nanny Wang's eyes and she said, "Guoguo was taken to Yuerongfang by Sixian and Sidai. She will probably be back in the evening."
Jiang Ranli nodded, her thoughts also being aroused, and then she sighed once again, 'The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets'. In this year of disaster, the Frost and Snow Courtyard, the gambling house, and the Yuerong House opened by her and Jiang Fan were not affected at all, and their business was still booming. Even the Guanquan Pavilion next to Baotu Spring was as hard to get a seat as before.
Yuerongfang is a women's beauty salon developed by Jiang Ranli using her advantage in chemistry and combining various ancient skin care products. It has many branches in Shandong and is very famous.
In fact, Yuerongfang's various skin care products are also sold well in various regions of the Qing Dynasty, and are the favorites of many ladies and young ladies. On weekdays, Yuerongfang is jointly managed by Sixian and Sidai.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ranli sighed. Although she hoped that more people would join the ranks of disaster relief in this season, if those people did not have that intention, she would also hope that they would consume as usual. In this way, she could earn more money to fill the porridge stalls and the Jishi grain store.
Jiang Ranli got up and walked around the house. She had been unconscious and slept for too long, so her body and head felt a little dizzy and she needed to move around.
"Where has everyone gone?"
After strolling around the Jiang and Wu residences, Jiang Ranli did not see Jiang Fan and Wu Yanqing, and could not help but feel puzzled. In the past, they had always returned home at this time. Even if there was something urgent, they would send someone back to tell them. Why was there no movement today?
Did something happen outside?
Jiang Ranli's brows furrowed slightly. Just as she was lost in thought, Wu Yanqing walked towards her from a distance. Handsome and elegant, he still gave people a refreshing and leisurely feeling even in the extremely hot summer day.
"Li'er, you're awake," Wu Yanqing came to Jiang Ranli with a smile like the breeze and bright moon on his face.
Seeing him, Jiang Ranli also smiled, "Well, what's the situation outside now?"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Wu Yanqing's lips froze slightly, and a layer of worry spread between his brows. "The situation is not very optimistic. The weather is too hot. The refugees who came here to escape have no stable and clean housing, and many people have fallen ill."
"Has Lord Deng sent anyone to deal with it? The disaster has been going on for so long, why hasn't the court taken any action? If this continues, the disaster will become more and more serious."
Jiang Ranli's expression became solemn. What she was most worried about was the illness of the victims. If the sick victims were not treated in time, it might eventually develop into a plague.
"The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master have already asked Lord Deng and other officials to handle this matter. You don't have to worry too much," said Wu Yanqing.
Hearing him talk about Yinzhen and the Tenth Prince, Jiang Ranli remembered what happened in the Xu Mansion, and her attention was slightly diverted. Okay, she admitted that she was not a competent rescuer. Even when Shandong was in dire straits, she was still thinking about that person.
However, she really couldn't control her heart, so she just let it go. As long as she knew the news about that person, she would be willing to work herself to death helping the disaster victims tomorrow.
