On Zhu Shide's side, a confidant asked in a low voice: "Master, are you still going to take action?"
Zhu Shide had a gloomy face and shook his head. No matter how hard he tried, Lu Tao could say harsh words. If he really did it, he would be throwing himself into a trap.
At this moment, he no longer cares about the ownership of Jiangnan Dongdao Grain Merchant, but there is a greater danger involving the fate of the entire Zhu family in Hangzhou, if Lu Tao seriously liquidates it.
After much deliberation, only Valve Master Zhu Dong can handle such a big matter.
After this episode, the inventory continued.
As expected of Ye Meixun, under such circumstances, it took him an hour to count out the detailed numbers.
In the end, the final number of Gu Xianting's family was fixed at 321,550 stones, and the position of Jiangnan East Road Grain Merchant also fell to Gu Xianting.
This result made Ye Meixun very happy, and it also diluted the gloom just now. He said to Liu Wanli beside him: "Miss Gu, please speak."
Liu Wanli left and came back: "Miss Gu doesn't know where she went."
Gu Xianting and Xie Fu were busy settling the people from Wuxi who had come from afar. Everyone was sincere and helped so much. At least they gave them a hot meal.
There were so many people that it was impossible to serve a banquet.
Gu Xianting called all the waiters from Wanghe Tower over, and Xie Fu also called all the servants from Tantai Mansion over to help.
I just looked at tens of thousands of people and had no idea where to start.
At this time, Feng Shoudao led the government army to send the army stove. This government army had experienced the Suzhou plague, dealt with large-scale scenes involving tens of thousands of people, and was familiar with the road.
With this government army helping to maintain order, tens of thousands of people evacuated to the open space outside Suzhou in an orderly manner.
The soldiers from the government helped set up the pots and stoves. Anyway, if they could help, they would lend a hand and help, regardless of each other.
A scene of soldiers and civilians getting together as a family.
It wasn't until midnight that everyone had a mouthful of hot porridge. It was this mouthful of hot porridge that made Gu Xianting feel a heavy stone in his heart, otherwise he would really feel guilty inside.
It's already late autumn, and the night is still a bit chilly. Young and middle-aged people are fine. The elderly and children are still prone to catching cold in the wilderness.
Gu Xianting asked people to bring all the clothes and bedding they could from Gu's house and distribute them to the elderly and children.
As he walked, he said apologetically to everyone: "Sorry for the poor hospitality."
How can these people care about Gu Xianting? You must know that Gu Xianting personally led a convoy to Wuxi for rescue, and she really regarded Gu Xianting as the female Bodhisattva who saved the world.
A woman held her child tightly in her arms, and a quilt was gently draped over the child. The woman looked up and saw Gu Xianting, and called out: "Miss Gu."
Gu Xianting smiled knowingly: "It's all my fault. The child has been wronged too."
This time I am going to Suzhou to send food. There is no one to take care of my children at home, so I naturally have to bring them with me.
Gu Xianting was very tired and left the matter of distributing clothes and bedding to his servants. He found Xie Fu here.
Xie Fuzheng and Huo Duan were squatting on the ground, not knowing what to talk about.
It was Huo Duan who spotted Gu Xianting first and said hello with a smile: "Miss Gu, congratulations."
"Thank you Mr. Huo."
Huo Duan wisely walked away temporarily.
Xie Fu came to Gu Xianting's side and saw that her face had not been washed until now. He said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Xianting smiled and said: "Why bother? I brought them here. Of course I have to be responsible for them."
Xie Fu saw that many people had fallen asleep from exhaustion and said with emotion: "Fortunately, I can give them a mouthful of hot porridge, otherwise I would feel really guilty."
Gu Xianting responded: "Me too."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly, feeling like they know you and I. This is a special feeling of happiness, we are together but not each other.
Looking at each other in silence, something slowly brewed around the two of them. Xie Fu asked: "Is it cold?"
Gu Xianting shook his head: "It's not cold." Then he asked, "Sir, are you cold?"
Xie Fu responded: "It's cold." He wanted to know what Gu Xianting would do if he answered like this.
Only then did Gu Xianting realize that Fu Xie was only wearing plain clothes. He had taken off his outer robe earlier to cover the blood on his legs, and hurriedly said, "I'm going to find you some clothes right now."
Xie Fu said hurriedly: "No, I was joking."
Gu Xianting turned back curiously: "Are you kidding?"
When Xie Fu saw her silly yet serious cute look, he really wanted to scratch her nose.
"I have something to discuss with you."
The two said in unison.
Xie Fu smiled hoarsely: "You go ahead and say it."
Gu Xianting said lightly: "Everyone has sent you food. What will you do if you don't have food when you go back tomorrow?"
The entire Wuxi County has been depleted of food. It is no exaggeration to say that there is no more grain of rice to be found.
Xie Fu said: "I have discussed it with Huo Duan and asked him to ask the convoy to help transport the grain back to Wuxi tomorrow, and it will be more than what they sent here."
Gu Xianting smiled sweetly: "You are so thoughtful, I worry too much."
As she spoke, she breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly letting go of all her worries. At this moment, she was overdrafted and suddenly fainted.
Xie Fu hugged her, her soft and warm body was so soft that people couldn't help but care for her in their hearts.
Xie Fu arranged a carriage and took Gu Xianting to Tantai Mansion on his own initiative, asking Xia Er to take good care of her.
Turn around and go to the attic to visit Tantai Heqing.
It was already midnight, but the lights in the attic were still on.
Tantai Heqing knew that today was the day to decide the winner, so she had no intention of sleeping, waiting for the result.
In the silence, I heard footsteps and asked, "Who?"
"I."
Xie Fu opened the door at the same time.
Tantai Heqing blurted out and asked: "Losed or won?"
"Won."
"Really?"
Tantai Heqing looked in disbelief. She was mentally prepared to lose the bid, but Xie Fu brought her a surprise.
Xie Fu walked to the bedside, held her hand, and said softly: "Finally, I have lived up to your hard work over the past ten days."
Tantai Heqing was as excited as a child: "How did you win?"
Xie Fu then told Tantai Heqing one by one how the people of Wuxi brought food by mouth.
"No one could have thought of such a way to win. Zhu Shide couldn't think of it, Ye Meixun couldn't think of it, even we couldn't think of it..."
After some emotion, Tantai He said: "Thanks to Xianting, otherwise I would have really lost this time."
Xie Fu responded: "Yes!"
Riding a fast horse to travel hundreds of miles is simply not what a wealthy lady should do, nor is it something she can do. Gu Xianting's frail appearance has extremely tough bones and flesh and surging blood.
Tantai Heqing smiled and said: "How should you thank others?"
Xie Fu didn't know if Tantai Heqing was testing him, so he laughed and said, "I don't know either."
"Such a good woman, don't you have any feelings for her?"
In the beginning, Xianting and Xie Fu had little contact, and they just had a feeling of kindness. Now, the two of them have more contact, and they know each other. Tantai He feels that the relationship has come naturally.
