MTL - Lucky Girl: Take the Space To Escape From the Famine-Chapter 320 Arrive at Nanxing City

   Chapter 320 Reaching Nanxing City

  Yin Miao had never seen such a long rain, the sun had long since disappeared, and there were many erosions on the roadside that were smashed by the rain.

  The sky above Nanxing City was also shrouded in despair.

   More than half a month ago, the surviving people cheered and rejoiced for the hard-won rain for two days and two nights. However, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of stopping for a long time. People who are about to starve to death still have to starve. Not only that, but various diseases such as wind and cold have also spread wildly in the city.

Fan Wenhan, the new city lord who had been in office for only a year, wrote five letters in a row and sent them to the capital six hundred miles away, wanting to urgently allocate food and the most in-demand medicinal herbs in the city, but the capital said, "The heavy rain is continuous, and it is not easy to travel by land. For fear of wasting food and grass," he dismissed his petition.

   "What do you mean by delay? It's been more than three months since the last time the food was allocated. Countless people in the city starved to death. I don't think I'll be an official!"

   Fan Wenhan angrily threw his official uniform and hat on the ground and stepped on it, but he still didn't feel relieved.

   "Don't be angry, this difficulty is always going to be overcome, and anger is not the way. You were admitted to the champion and became an official, and everyone said that there was green smoke on our ancestral graves, but you can't say such angry words."

   On the mahogany carved camphor chair, an old lady with missing teeth said earnestly.

   "I'm sorry grandmother, I was just talking for a while. A lot of people have died of illness in the past few days. It's really..."

Fan Wenhan only dared to say these words in front of his own old lady. He had no parents and no mother, and he was brought up by his grandmother alone. to famine.

   "I hope God will open his eyes and stop torturing this miserable man."

  The old lady folded her thin hands and prayed silently to the sky.

   At this moment, a servant hurried in, Fan Wenhan's face darkened a bit, maybe someone else carried the dead person outside the city lord's mansion.

   However, this time the little servant was not here to report that someone was making trouble.

   "Someone wants to sell herbs?! Take me there to take a look."

   Fan Wenhan stood up immediately. It was the first time that the old lady saw her grandson run so fast.

   There were three men and one woman, two of whom were obviously guards. The man and the woman were turning their backs to him and seemed to be saying something. The man's voice was slightly smiling, and the two seemed to have a very close relationship.

   "Do you two really have herbs to sell?"

   Fan Wenhan looked very anxious and asked straight to the point.

The man and the woman turned around, the little girl had a peach-like face, pure and charming, and a sleepy blue parrot rested on her shoulders. He had never seen a parrot of this color, and that The man made Fan Wenhan's eyes widen.

It's him! !

   "Your Highness King Xuan?!"

   The little servant who came to report the letter only heard City Lord Fan shout, and saw him kneel down with a plop.

   "You please get up."

  Xiao Xuan remembered that Fan Wenhan was young and promising in the past, only over a year, but he didn't expect that he would actually give birth to a little Huafa when he was only more than 20 years old.

   "His Royal Highness Xuan has a kindness to Xiaguan. I didn't expect Xiaguan to see His Royal Highness here."

   Fan Wenhan said with great excitement.

Before participating in the imperial examination, he was snatched by a group of thieves and had no money to live in the restaurant. It was King Xuan in the restaurant who had instructed him to exempt him from all expenses during his stay in the restaurant, and even personally encouraged him to let him take the exam with peace of mind. With the help of King Xuan, I am afraid he will not be in such a good state to participate in that imperial examination.

   Seeing that the four of them were still standing outside the city lord's mansion, Fan Wenhan felt rude and hurriedly invited a few people in.

  Yin Miao looked at the Nanxing City's City Lord's Mansion and found that it was only as big as a three-entry mansion. Compared with the Shangyun City City Lord's Mansion, it was probably less than one-twentieth of the size.

   Several people were taken to the main hall of the Fuzhong. The decoration of the main hall was like ordinary people. Although it was simple, it was cleaned.

   "Originally, we were just passing by. We heard that there were more and more sick people in the city, so we came to you first."

   Xiao Xuan said.

   Most of his friends are in the business world, and although there are many acquaintances in the official circles, they are not included in his circle of friends.

   Except for Fan Wenhan, who used to be pure in nature.

   "Your Highness King Xuan has medicinal herbs?"

   Fan Wenhan still did not forget his business. Now even if the Jade Emperor came, he would always ask for herbs.

   "There are some, but the variety is not very complete."

   After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, Yin Miao only felt that Fan Wenhan's eyes immediately lit up, and it could be seen that he was more excited than when he saw Xiao Xuan just now.

   "Please, His Royal Highness King Xuan, be sure to sell it to a lower official, no matter how much silver taels are, it will not be a problem!"

   Fan Wenhan's excited voice was a little louder.

   "We don't want silver taels, only jade."

   The girl in green next to King Xuan spoke, but Fan Wenhan didn't react for a while.

   Don't want silver taels, just jade?

   After figuring out the purpose of the two, Fan Wenhan only left one sentence: "You wait", and hurried out the door.

   "This kid, as always, doesn't know how to treat guests."

   An old voice sounded, and Mrs. Fan came out from behind the screen on the right. Her back was a little hunched, and her speech was not clear.

   The two of them knew that there was someone behind the screen, but they didn't expect it to be an old lady.

   "Hello, mother-in-law, may I ask who is mother-in-law?"

  Yin Miao saw that there was no one beside the old man to support her, so she took the initiative to step forward and help her over.

   "The old man, Mrs. Wu, pays respects to His Royal Highness King Xuan, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive my grandson's ignorance."

   The old lady was about to kneel down, but she obviously didn't expect the little girl beside her to be so strong, and she was holding her firmly to prevent her from kneeling.

   "It turned out to be Mrs. Fan, don't mind at this time, we are just waiting for news from City Lord Fan here."

   Xiao Xuan replied.

   When Fan Wenhan came back again, he saw that his old lady was chatting with the two of them happily, especially the little girl, he had not seen the old lady smile so happily in a long time.

   "Back to His Royal Highness King Xuan, the lower official has ordered all the civil and military officials in the city to collect the jade with all their strength, and I hope His Highness will wait a little longer."

   Fan Wenhan hurried back after finishing his work. It was still raining heavily outside. He was in a hurry and did not hold an umbrella. At this time, he was all wet.

   "Well, I planned to stay here for two days."

   Xiao Xuan replied.

   "If Your Royal Highness Xuan Wang doesn't mind, please rest in the Nanxing City City Lord's Mansion, and let the lower officials enjoy the friendship of the landlord."

   In the end, Xiao Xuan and the others remained in the city lord's mansion. Madam Fan wanted to vacate the main courtyard for them, but the two chose the side courtyard closest to the wall.

  Yin Miao began to look forward to how many jade stones she could get in exchange. She knew that the herbs in her space were in unlimited supply. At this time, Lili and Acheng were busy drying the herbs.
