"Wifey, what is your background?”
"Husband, why are you suddenly asking this?"
"I'm just curious. I saw that Young Niang's handwriting is very beautiful.”
"I'm not too sure about the background of the young lady. I heard my father mention it when he was drunk." Han Lingying thought for a while and said.”
"That summer."
"Your wish is limitless?"
Han Lingying was speechless.
"Cough cough, Wifey, please continue."
Han Lingying rolled her eyes at Xiao Fan and continued,"In the midsummer of the seventh year of Wude, it was also raining heavily in Yangzhou. At that time, my father's business hadn't made a fortune yet, so he went to Yangzhou to buy a batch of silk.”
"In the storm, the young mother's eyes were filled with despair, making father's heart palpitate. She was like a pitiful little lamb, standing silently in the storm.”
"My father was soft-hearted and brought Young-Niang back to my house. In the future, Young-Niang will be responsible for serving me.”
" At first, I thought that you were mute. This girl doesn't like to talk, but she's extremely capable. She's always fighting to do many things. I know…she's afraid. She's worried that the Han family will abandon her, so she worked so hard…At that time, you were only five years old…"
"Hmm? Didn't you buy the young lady from the city office?”
Han Lingying shook her head." In the seventh year of Wude, the household registration system of the Tang Empire was not perfect. My young mother did not have a household registration at that time. My father spent some money to register her as a lowly citizen.”
"Lowly?"
" Husband, don't think that my father is being cruel," Han Lingying said." Whether it was during the Wude era or the Zhenguan era, it's almost impossible for people of unknown origins to get a good household register."”
Xiao Fan nodded. It seemed that Han Lingying did not know much about the young lady's true identity.
The young lady must have been greatly stimulated, so she rarely spoke. Thinking of her pitiful background, Xiao Fan sighed faintly.
Han Lingying's eyes were like knives as she kept shooting at Xiao Fan.
Well, it seemed that Cui Ning's matter…was out of the question.
He had to find a time to explain it to Cui Ning. He couldn't delay her.
The storm continued, and the water level of Lantian County's moat had started to rise.
Outside Lantian County, the suspension bridge could no longer be put out. This meant that the people in the county could not leave the city, and the people outside the county could not enter the city.
The price of rice in Lantian County had started to rise.
The development of the situation was getting closer and closer to Xiao Fan's prediction.
The second flood in Lantian was even more serious than the previous one!
A hundred kilometers away, after the Han family heard the news.
Dafu Han was shocked beyond words.
He looked at his second daughter, Han Lingxin, and asked with uncertainty,""Is Lantian…really flooded?"
"Big Sister…Big Sister's family…" Han Lingxin said worriedly.
Dafu Han clutched his chest, unable to speak properly.
"Monster! He was really a monster! Xiao Fan was right!"
Han Ling was puzzled. Seeing her father like this, she was deeply worried.
"It's fine, it's fine. Nothing will happen to Ying 'er. The Xiao Family…was really going to be rich this time!”
In Lantian County, Cui Jili was sitting in a three-story building. He looked at the rain and his expression became more and more unsightly.
"Ning 'er, our family's food…can last for a few more days?”
"Three days at most," Cui Ning said worriedly.”
"What is the price of grain in Lantian now?"
"Climb higher, continue climbing higher! Yesterday, the price of rice was still 30 wen per bucket of rice, but today it had already risen to 50 wen per bucket of rice!”
"Heavens! It had increased by more than five times. Xiao Fan... Xiao Fan was a monster! He's right, he's really right!"
If he had listened to Xiao Fan's words back then and started stockpiling grain, he would have earned a lot by now.
However, now was not the time for him to think about business opportunities, because the Cui family's rice was already in short supply.
"Ning 'er, you…you go buy food, quick!”
"Dad, all the grain merchants in Lantian have started to stock up and wait for the right price. How can we buy rice in the market?" Cui Ning said helplessly. A merchant had just thrown out a thousand stones, but it was immediately sold out. Now, the rice merchants definitely wouldn't give up easily.”
Cui Jili knew that after today, if the rainstorm continued, the price of rice would definitely double. Seeing such a business opportunity, how could these merchants casually sell rice?
"Wait! "Wait for another two days. If the rainstorm does not stop in two days…I will go and beg Xiao Fan even if I have to pull a long face!”
Lantian County Government.
The atmosphere today was unusually strange…
