The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Zhou Chengze's current teacher is the great scholar Shen Weimin, who was introduced by Mr. Yang. Mr. Shen not only teaches him subjects, but also takes him to understand the affairs of the court.

At this time, Zhou Chengze certainly knew that Pei Yanxu was in danger.

"Sister Xia, if you need any help, just tell me." Zhou Chengze said.

Xia Mianwan's brain was still working fast. "Chengze, I have sent someone to inform Xiaowu to send a batch of relief supplies from Yanzhou to Yubei. But in Beijing... I still need to prepare some more relief supplies. The emperor's supplies have been sent to Yubei, but I guess... if the situation is like this now, not much will actually reach Pei Yanxu's hands."

Zhou Chengze stood with his hands behind his back, "Sister Xia, since Xiaowu can go, I can go too. How about I pretend to be a merchant and take a truckload of supplies to Yubei?"

Xia Mianwan pondered for a while, and after thinking it over, he felt that it was feasible.

"I will send a few secret guards to protect you secretly. Openly, I will hire an escort agency to accompany you to Yubei." Xia Mianwan said.

"Okay, Sister Xia, please prepare the supplies as soon as possible. Xiaoba and Xiaojiu are in Beijing with their younger brothers and sisters. I will leave my sisters in Beijing, and Xiaoba and Xiaojiu will go to Yubei with me." Zhou Chengze said.

The news from Yubei should not have spread widely yet, so Xia Mianwan still has some time to prepare, but he has to do it quickly.

Zhou Chengze and Qian Da's people must leave in two groups. In this way, Zhou Chengze and Xiaowu will be much safer.

Disaster relief supplies must not be purchased from grain shops in the capital, as the noise would alert those who are interested.

Xia Mianwan asked the manager of the farm to come to the mansion to report the stored grain. The stored grain on several farms, leaving behind what he needed to eat, amounted to about 30,000 kilograms of grain.

Xia Mianwan's supermarket space still has a lot of food stored during the exile, which can be put together to about 20,000 kilograms. Xia Mianwan will not take out the original food in the supermarket space. Not to mention the packaging is different, the taste is also very different.

Even the medicinal herbs, Xia Mianwan still had some in his space that he had saved before he was exiled, and some that he had left behind when he went into the mountains to avoid disaster. Fortunately, Xia Mianwan was always worried about the possibility of an emergency, and he would often restock his space.

The weather is cold now, so ginger is very important, and wine is also very important. Fortunately, she has Xia Ji Winery, which has a lot of stock.

Xia Mian took inventory a little later, and by the time he finished everything, it was already late at night.

Xia Mianwan also has a house in the suburbs of Beijing that is used as a temporary granary. It looks like an ordinary house from the outside, but there is a large cellar dug under the house.

Xia Mianwan and Ruzhu rushed to the granary in the suburbs of Beijing overnight. It was also Ruzhu's first time here. She asked in confusion, "Madam, why do we have to come here? There is nothing here?"

Xia Mianwan asked Ruzhu to stay in the side room, and went to the kitchen, opened the entrance to the cellar, and with a wave of his hand, he stored all the food in the space in the cellar.

After putting all the supplies away, Xia Mianwan closed the entrance to the cellar.

Early the next morning, Xia Mianwan took a carriage to Zhou Niangzi's house. Zhou Chengze and Xiaoqi and Xiaoba were already waiting at home.

"Chengze, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, today's matter depends entirely on you. This is for Pei Yanxu, for the people, and for yourselves. When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. I hope that this natural disaster is just a natural disaster and will not turn into a man-made disaster. The court is full of twists and turns. Chengze, today will be your first confrontation before entering the court!" Xia Mianwan's tone was firm, which also gave Zhou Chengze confidence.

"Sister Xia, don't worry, I will do my best."

Xia Mianwan took out a purse from his sleeve. "Inside the purse is a key and two addresses. One is my granary in the suburbs of Beijing, and the other is my grain storage on the farm. How many people do you have available?"

Zhou Chengze said: "There are 23 people in total, including the people from the escort agency, a total of 40 people."

Xia Mianwan nodded and said, "I will send ten more good men to protect you in secret. Be careful along the way."

Zhou Chengze smiled slightly, "Sister Xia, we have been through a lot along the way. Don't worry, we are blessed by fate, and the same goes for Lord Pei."

"On the surface, I will send a team of people out from Pei Mansion, so I will build up momentum in the capital in the next few days. You should leave as soon as you can in these few days. The faster you leave, the safer it will be." Xia Mianwan said.

"it is good!"

Xia Mianwan did not stay long at the Zhou family. When she returned to Pei Mansion, she changed into luxurious clothes and took Rumeng Ruzhu to the grain shop to buy grain.

Xia Mianwan didn’t buy much, just two thousand kilograms, and then he bought some medicinal herbs at a pharmacy in Beijing.

Then, Xia Mianwan took a trip around the capital and went back.

The same thing happened on the second day, and this continued for three days. After three days, the news of Yubei's earth dragon's resurgence spread throughout the capital. Xia Mianwan then sent a team of people to Yubei with less than 5,000 kilograms of food and some medicinal herbs.

As soon as the Pei Mansion's men set out, someone had already quietly followed behind, but the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Let’s talk about Yubei.

The day when the earth dragon in Yubei turned over was the day before Pei Yanxu was about to leave for Beijing. Everyone was drinking when suddenly the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, followed by miserable screams, and the sound of "boom" and "boom" was everywhere. Pei Yanxu desperately led his subordinates to run to an open place at the moment when the earth dragon turned over.

After the surroundings calmed down, Pei Yanxu felt for the first time the panic of surviving a calamity. It turned out that this was what it felt like to have a close brush with death.

Since a natural disaster has occurred, Pei Yanxu cannot return to Beijing on time.

Pei Yanxu and his subordinates were drinking in a temporary residence, and the surroundings were relatively empty, so he and his subordinates were safe. However, other people in Yubei were not so lucky. There were ruins everywhere, broken limbs and fingers, and the bewilderment, panic and sadness of the survivors.

Pei Yanxu is a man who thinks he has seen through life and death, but until this moment, seeing this hell on earth, he still can't help but shed tears.

Those are all...living people!

They are all people of the Great Chen Kingdom!

After enduring a brief dizziness, Pei Yanxu quickly calmed himself down and began to direct the scene and prepare for disaster relief.

Just as Xia Mianwan had predicted, Pei Yanxu now had no one, no food, and no medicine.

What worries Pei Yanxu even more is that after the earth-shaking incident, it might be hard to tell who are the bandits and who are the common people.

Fortunately, Pei Yanxu was still very capable. After calming his mind, he first found the prefect and the governor of Yubei and set up a temporary shelter in an open place. With the prefect and the governor in charge, everyone no longer felt like headless flies.

After that, they started digging in an orderly manner to rescue people, but the biggest problem was that Pei Yanxu had no supplies. All the food that could be dug out was dug out, but there were so many people in Yubei, how could there be enough food!

Pei Yanxu had a frown on his face, but he couldn't show any weakness. If he did, there would definitely be chaos in Yubei.
