Going to ancient times with a sign-in system: Stepmothers are not to be trifled with

"Well, Steward Li, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"Ting Zhang Wu was joking. But what happened nearby last night?"

Wu Tingchang nodded, "Yes. An earthquake occurred miles away from Ganling Village, and Ganling Village was also affected. Houses collapsed and villagers were buried. At dawn, people were sent to Ganling Village rescue."

"I'm about to arrange the things in hand and go to Ganling Village immediately."

Hearing this, Li Quan's face sank slightly, and he cupped his fists to thank Ting Zhang Wu: "Thank you Ting Zhang Li. Ting Zhang Wu is going to Ganling Village. If you need anything, please ask. If Li can do it, I will do it." arrive."

"Thank you, Steward Li."

"Mr. Wu Ting is too polite, Mr. Li will leave."

"Butler Li, go slowly."

"Ting Zhang, please stay."

After sending Li Quan away, Pavilion Chief Wu hurriedly cleaned up with his followers, and then left quickly...

Li Quan, who came out from Pavilion Chief Wu, didn't go back to Wuming Village immediately. Instead, he walked around the town for a while, checked the price of grain, found that it hadn't risen, and hurriedly bought some millet and flour.

While shopping, I chatted with the shopkeeper of the grocery store for a while, and then headed to Wuming Village...

Shen time.

It was after three o'clock in the afternoon that Li Quan walked into Xiao's house.

"Mother, the housekeeper is back."

Li Quan had just entered the courtyard when he heard Xiao Ziqing's voice.

Hearing Xiao Ziqing's voice, Guo Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the room, turned to look at the door, "Are you back? Just come."

Li Quan walked quickly to the kitchen, and said as he walked, "Miss Ziyu, this is food, you keep it."

"Hey, Steward Li, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Hey, don't take it seriously. You accept it, and I will report it to the young lady."

"Hey, good."

As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, he saw Guo Xiaoxiao walking towards him.

"Uncle Li is back, you've worked hard. Let's take a rest first."

"It's not serious. Miss, I found out. Last night, an earthquake occurred in Ganling Village, a hundred miles away from here. The houses collapsed and the villagers were buried. Just after dawn, Master Tingchang arranged for people to go to the village for treatment."

"At this moment, Lord Tingchang should have gone to Ganling Village in person."

"Earthquake? Baili? Houses collapsed and villagers were buried. This is not a small matter. Uncle Li, do you know how the villages near Ganling Village are doing?"

"The village on our side is fine, and I don't know about other places."

Hearing this, Guo Xiaoxiao nodded his head and thought for a while, then raised his eyes to Li Quan, "Uncle Li, this situation is unpredictable, if the pavilion chief needs our help, you should."

"Now it's the cold season, in addition to rations, keeping warm and preventing typhoid are the key."

"Miss Dayi. The younger one has already talked to Pavilion Chief Wu. If you need it, you can come and look for it. We will try our best to do it."

"Well, Uncle Li has worked hard, go and rest."

"Yes."

three days later.

Li Quan went out to inquire again, this time, Li Quan came back very quickly.

I went out at dawn and came back at noon.

Only this time, the news he brought back made Guo Xiaoxiao feel a little heavy.

"Uncle Li, you mean Xue Beng?"

Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao's shocked expression, Li Quan nodded in response: "Yes, miss. I heard that many people were buried."

After reconfirming, Guo Xiaoxiao held his chest with lingering fear, and murmured: "There is really an avalanche."

After taking a few deep breaths, Guo Xiaoxiao looked at Li Quan and said seriously, "Uncle Li, although the place where the avalanche happened is not in Qingyang Mansion, there are also casualties in this earthquake, and my uncle will probably be very busy. Lol Xiao wants to ask Uncle Li to go back to the mansion as soon as possible to help out."

"Miss, the little one also has the same intentions. I found out the news this time, and I also want to say goodbye to the lady."

"Okay. Uncle Li, wait a moment. The food supply is so high now. Smile, there is some food stored here. Please, Uncle Li, bring it back to the mansion and give it to Uncle."

"This time, I will let Ziyu and Sister Wang go with you. They will stop by Qin County to see my nanny's family."

Hearing Guo Xiaoxiao's words, Li Quan was moved for a while, but thinking of the price of grain he asked today, he couldn't help but remind him: "Miss, you can keep more grain, the house has prepared it."

"It's ready, Uncle Li, don't worry."

"Young Lord and Madam thanked Miss."

"It's all one family, Uncle Li doesn't have to be like this." Then, he turned his head to look at Ziyu, "You go to Sister Wang's house, talk to Sister Wang, and then go to Auntie Wu's house and Qin's house to borrow ox carts."

Ziyu was startled when she heard that she was going to borrow an ox cart from Qin's house, "Miss?"

"It's okay. You go to Qin's house, and you say you want to send food to the Qingyang magistrate's mansion, and trouble their family to help deliver it. In the past two days, I see people from Qin's family driving ox carts into and out of the village every day. Not too bad."

"If you want to know what they are going to do, you have to get close to them."

Hearing this, Li Quan understood immediately, and said, "Miss, I'll go to the Qin family. After all, I'm the housekeeper of the mansion, so it's better."

Guo Xiaoxiao paused and nodded in response: "Well, very good. Then I will thank Uncle Li."

When Qin Dahu drove the ox cart into the yard of Xiao's house, he saw that Xiao Ziyang's brothers were carrying a sack, and he stepped forward to take it quickly, but they avoided him.

"Uncle Qin, we can do it. Thank you."

Seeing this, Qin Dahu didn't say a word, but followed Li Quan into the main room, carried the sack on his shoulders and walked to the bullock cart in the yard.

Looking at the sacks piled up half of the room, Li Quan's eyes flashed a trace of doubt.

The main room has not been opened since it was closed last night. Since then, bags of grain have been piled up in the room.

However, he has never noticed that anyone has come, so how did the food come here?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he wisely didn't ask, and even warned himself that he was wrong.

The food was in the house last night, and they helped to pile it up.

Correct.

That's it.

With the help of Ziyu, Wang Xiaoju, and Wu Wen, the two ox carts were quickly loaded.

"Uncle Li, Ziyu, bring the carriage over and load it on. When you pass by Qin County, ask Sister Wang to drive a carriage to the nanny. Ziyu follows Uncle Li back home."

"Yes, ma'am."

Soon, the two carriages were also loaded.

Watching Li Quan and his party leave, Guo Xiaoxiao sighed softly, "Oh, natural disasters and man-made disasters, natural disasters and man-made disasters. Don't be afraid of natural disasters, but be afraid of man-made disasters."

"I hope those wealthy grain merchants don't deliberately raise prices, otherwise these days..."

Xiao Ziyang, who was standing beside Guo Xiaoxiao, asked in a low voice: "Mother, are you worried about food prices?"

"Ziyang, you used to be able to buy a catty of brown rice for eight Wen, but now you can buy a catty for eighteen Wen. If it goes up again, what will happen?"

Hearing Guo Xiaoxiao's words, Xiao Ziyang pondered for a moment, and replied with some seriousness: "Mother, in that case, many people will starve to death because they have no money to buy rations."

"starve?"

"maybe."
