The scumbag married another man. After rebirth, I will no longer be the mistress of a high-class fam

After all, people are about to starve to death. When they can't survive, they don't care whether it is moral or not.

Their appeal is simple, they just want to survive.

live...

Song Anning's expression became extremely serious.

Xu Qingsong was still there sighing to himself, and after a while he said to Song Anning: "Miss Song, don't worry, as long as I, Xu Qingsong, are here in Qingzhou, I will not let Qingzhou become the refugee that Mr. Pei is worried about... …Alas, we won’t give relief to the refugees yet.”

Song Anning's eyebrows moved.

nodded.

"Thank you, Master Xu."

"polite."

After leaving the prefect's Yamen, Song Anning was preparing to go home, but was intercepted by Song Hexing who came on the way.

Song Hexing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? You're sweating profusely from running."

She asked curiously while dragging Song Hexing into the carriage.

Song Hexing wiped the sweat from his forehead, waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. I had already thought that you would arrive in the next few days, and I had been sending people to keep an eye on you at the city gate. But the boy said that you would arrive as soon as you came back. I went to the magistrate's office, and I was thinking about how big of a deal this must be, so I came over to find you right now."

Song Anning looked at the frightened expression on her father's face and was extremely moved, but she smiled on her face.

"Dad, you are an outsider. You are also the richest merchant in Qingzhou. Even the prefect wants to give you some face. My daughter is just going there for a trip. Why should you worry like this?"

Her father is like this, too honest.

If it were other states and counties, after doing business for his father's sake, it would be inevitable for officials and businessmen to collude to seek benefits.

But what about his father?

I pay a lot of filial piety every year, but I still don't dare to get involved in any lawsuits, for fear that something will happen to my family.

Song Anning sighed inwardly, but also couldn't help but admire him.

Song Hexing shook his head.

"We serve the people and others serve as officials. It is better to draw clear lines on many things so as not to be affected if something unexpected happens."

Song Anning's eyes flashed.

Yes, my father is right.

The Dayuan Dynasty was no different than other dynasties. Especially since the current emperor took office, he first strictly controlled corruption from top to bottom, and later established the Department of Embroidery to supervise all officials, including local officials.

The Embroidery Department was personally supervised by Pei Qingyan, the emperor's nephew. He had strict discipline and iron-fisted methods. Naturally, he did not dare to form cliques. Therefore, dozens of dog officials were found out by the Embroidery Department every year. The blood under the headlock has never stopped.

There was a reason why my father refused to have a close relationship with them.

But Song Anning was surprised.

Logically speaking, based on what the emperor is doing today, he should be a wise king. The world should be getting better and better under his governance. Why is it getting more and more chaotic?

She raised this doubt and asked Song Hexing.

Song Hexing looked horrified and covered her mouth.

"Do you want your life?! Who are you? How dare you talk about government affairs? Be careful if someone listens to you and I will kill you."

Song Anning: "..."

She was speechless and touched her nose.

"Dad, there are only two of us in this carriage, who will hear us?"

Song Hexing still refused to say more.

"As ordinary people, we must ask what we should ask and don't ask what we shouldn't. Well, instead of thinking about those profound principles, it is better to think about what your mother has prepared after returning home at noon today. Food? Hey, your mother hasn't cooked for a long time, and today you come back and you have such a big reputation to let her cook. I'm really looking forward to it. I think the three treasure cakes your mother made back then were delicious... "

Song Hexing rubbed his hands, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

Seeing her father like this, Song Anning suddenly felt that it wasn't bad to live like her father.

At least I have my mother with me, and I have something to do that I like, and it's nothing more than a big event in life.

The group of people arrived at Song's house soon.

As expected, Shen Jiao had prepared meals at home waiting for them.

The family finished their meal happily, and then Song Anning called her eldest and second brothers, as well as her father and mother, to the study room to talk about what happened during her trip to Beijing.

She never thought of hiding it from her family.

After all, even if she kept those things secret, they would know about it sooner or later.

And if the world is really in chaos, she hopes that her family will at least have the ability to protect themselves. Then, she can't hide it from them.

Song Anning told her family everything she saw and heard along the way.

After finishing speaking, she looked at Song Hexing.

"Dad, in the past few years, you have been traveling abroad and you must have noticed that the world has been gradually becoming chaotic, which cannot be changed by one person. Today I went to the prefect's Yamen to deliver a message to the prefect. Someone suggested that he Store grain widely and build walls high."

Song Hexing was stunned and asked, "Did Master Pei give the order?"

Song Anning nodded.

The whole study suddenly fell into silence.

No one speaks.

Everyone knew very well what it meant if these words came from Pei Qingyan.

Pei Qingyan is in charge of the Embroidery Department, not only to supervise officials, but also to collect intelligence from all over the world.

Even if he said this, would the facts change?

Song Hexing lowered his face and said after a while: "It seems that the world is really going to be in chaos."

Song Helan said: "Father, do you want to reduce our outside business? If the world is really chaotic, it will be unsafe for everyone to walk outside."

Shen Jiao quite agreed.

"Yes, in fact, the business in Qingzhou alone is enough for us to keep busy. If a war really breaks out, it will not be peaceful outside. We can't do things where we can make money but not spend our lives."

"Yes."

Song Xingzhi also agreed.

Song Anning shook her head.

"It's true that we can't go to the north. If the Li family rebels, there will definitely be in dire straits. The war has spread to Youzhou. I see it developing like this, even if those thieves enter Beijing. But the south It's still very safe. The world is in chaos. I don't know how many years it will be. You don't have to have anything else, but you must have food. Dad, I plan to take advantage of this time to go to the south and buy more food. return."

Song Hexing's expression changed drastically.

"No, you have a daughter, how can you go south alone?"

The two brothers Song Helan and Song Xingzhi also expressed opposition.

Shen Jiao said: "Just let your father and brother buy food. Don't go out. Although I often teach you that men and women are the same on weekdays, in troubled times, women are still prone to more dangers than men. Plus you My father and brother have been traveling for many years and are more experienced than you, so don’t be brave at this time, be good.”

Shen Jiao touched her daughter's hand.

Song Anning certainly understands her mother's kindness.
