Chapter 499 Discussing the Wedding Date
Yan Qingqiu smiled secretly, thinking that Li Rongsen had actually cured the old man's stinginess.
"Send two people to record which areas need to be repaired first." An Yan instructed him on this matter again.
"I understand. We have already sent two advisors over there." The old man nodded.
Li Rongsen said, "Don't worry, I've already told them. Besides, Meidie and Beifeng are here. Beifeng is very familiar with water and knows how to handle it."
An Yan nodded, feeling a little relieved.
The old man added, "I'll ask them to arrange dinner right away." After saying that, he walked out of the yard.
An Yan sat down at the table again and said, "I was just thinking about when to go to Mancao's place. Whether they are willing or not, I will ask them first."
"If you want to go, go early tomorrow morning." Li Rongsen sat down next to An Yan.
Yan Qingqiu said, "It seems we need to buy some more things. We have some daily necessities in stock in the city, but they are limited."
"It should be okay, not too tragic. After all, most people are still in the city, and only a few people come here. Their homes are close to the water and have been flooded recently." Li Rongsen explained to An Yan.
An Yan nodded and said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let them make such a fuss, and instead, innocent people got hurt.
"This is not your fault in any way. It's those people who are seeking fame and power who are causing trouble. If they were willing to consider the people in the city a little bit, it wouldn't be like this. Besides, this is man-made, not a natural disaster." Yan Qingqiu said in a cold tone with some blame in his voice.
Li Rongsen also meant the same thing and said, "That's exactly what's going on. Why should you blame yourself?"
An Yan felt a little better and asked them, "Have you dealt with all your affairs?"
"My grandfather is urging us to hold the wedding, and I said I would come back to ask for your opinion." Li Rongsen had a smile on his face, as if he was also looking forward to this grand wedding.
An Yan didn't answer immediately. She actually didn't like crowds, especially since there were so many people to deal with.
Yan Qingqiu naturally knew what she meant and immediately said to Li Rongsen, "An Yan doesn't like flattery. Your grandfather is really going to make things difficult for her."
"Of course I know, but I think since it's a marriage, it should be a little grand and announced to the world." Li Rongsen said that he was afraid that An Yan would forget him in the future, so he wanted everyone to witness that they got married because they were in love with each other and were very affectionate.
An Yan naturally knew what Li Rongsen meant, and she also wanted to make him happy. She smiled at him and said, "Okay, I understand. Let's pick a day."
"Okay." Li Rongsen nodded.
"What day do you want to pick?" The old man walked in with some filling pastries in his hands.
"The wedding day." Yan Qingqiu said.
"Great! Our city is going to have a big wedding!" The old man was overjoyed, and then said, "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. The city lord is finally going to marry a city slave. This is a huge happy event for our West City."
Li Rongsen raised his hand to touch his forehead, thinking the old man's words were very strange. Wasn't he marrying An Yan? Yan Qingqiu was laughing at the side, just watching the show.
The old man immediately realized what was going on. He cleared his throat and said, "That's great! The City Lord and Mr. Li will finally be together forever and live happily ever after."
Li Rongsen smiled at this time, which seemed to encourage the old man. He asked again: "When?"
"They are discussing a wedding outside." Yan Qingqiu told him.
The old man's face fell, and then he said: "Why should the outsiders do it first? Of course, the city should do it first. This is the most correct operation."
Li Rongsen blinked, thinking that Xicheng was An Yan's hometown after all, so it would be fine to hold a party there first. Besides, it would also let everyone here know that he was the real boss, so he wouldn't have to worry about other people coveting him. So he said, "We can discuss it." Then he asked An Yan, "An Yan, what do you think?"
An Yan didn't say anything, but nodded.
The old man's eyes widened, and then a smile spread across his face. He said, "Great! I'll get them started right away. We're going to make it a grand celebration, lasting three days and three nights. I'm sure everyone in the city will be as happy as I am."
Yan Qingqiu was not happy at all. Of course he knew that An Yan and Li Rongsen still had a calamity to overcome, so he did not seem that excited.
Li Rongsen and An Yan also knew about this matter in their hearts, so they were happy but also helpless, but neither of them wanted to reveal it.
The old man said, "I'll ask them to prepare dinner first." Then he ran out of the yard happily.
After a cup of tea, the table was filled with dishes, and the old man came over and said, "Someone has come from outside the city and wants to see the city lord."
"Who is it?" An Yan said as she put a piece of meat into Li Rongsen's bowl.
"It's the two people who came before, Mancao and Qingfeng." said the old man.
Yan Qingqiu didn't think much of it. He wasn't close friends with them, so he just focused on eating.
"Hurry up and invite them over here." An Yan said hurriedly. She was originally going to invite them over, but ended up coming over. She added, "They probably haven't eaten yet. Bring two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks."
Mancao and Qingfeng followed a servant to An Yan's yard. Their faces didn't look relaxed, but rather distressed and worried. This puzzled An Yan. She said, "Come in and have dinner with us first."
"An Yan, we are here today to ask you for a favor." Mancao didn't want to talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
Li Rongsen said, "Hurry up and sit down first. Let's talk slowly."
Qingfeng said, "A large area of our area has been flooded. The lower ground has been submerged. We can't go on like this. Please help me think of a solution."
An Yan was surprised. Mancao waved her hand, revealing a map. She said, "Look, An Yan, all the places near the water are flooded, and the water level is still rising. Many people in our area need to be relocated, but this is a huge project."
Li Rongsen took a closer look and said, "This stretch of water is connected to the other side of the river. That side has also been flooded, and it has also affected your area."
"Nothing in the river can be eaten. Some people have even been poisoned because of it. That's why I came here too." Mancao's eyes turned red as she spoke.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way." An Yan stood up and walked to Mancao's side, motioning her to sit at the table first. Then she said to Qingfeng, "Even if it's urgent, we still have to eat dinner. Sit down."
Li Rongsen also stood up and said, "You guys eat first. I'll go outside to discuss it with them. I'll be right back."
Qingfeng looked back at Li Rongsen, who patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry."
Mancao ignored Anyan's kindness and sat down, and Qingfeng also sat down with her.
An Yan returned to her seat and asked, "What kind of poison did you take? Do you have anything I can see?"
"It's not a very serious situation. The Ganoderma lucidum you got before is slightly effective in treating the poison, but it seems that it is not easy to cure it completely." Mancao said.
"It's mainly because of the water." Qingfeng replied.
An Yan nodded and said, "It seems that it's because of the situation on the other side of the river that it's affecting your area. I've already sent people to rectify the situation. As soon as the water level there recedes, the water level in your area will also recede."
"What about the poison in the water?" asked Mancao.
