"Li Dong's family is too powerful. I will never send you to the Li family anyway. I have written a letter to your grandfather. If your grandfather knew what you and your second brother looked like now, Jiang Ruan's good days would be over."

Jiang Susu's eyes lit up: "My grandfather will avenge me."

"So you have to recover from your injuries now," Xia Yan looked at her and said gently: "When your injuries are better, I will arrange for you to go back to Xia's mansion."

Xia Yan was born to Xia Cheng, the second wife of Yongding Hou. At that time, Xia Cheng was just an unknown county lord, so he could not marry Jiang Quan as his wife as Xia Yan. Unexpectedly, Xia Cheng's legitimate brother died of illness a few years ago, and his title fell on him as a concubine. Xia Yan rose with the water, and Zhao Mei cut off contact with General Zhao, so Xia Yan's identity seemed to be more worthy of Jiang Quan's wife.

Xia Cheng is like Xia Yan, and he is also a person who protects his shortcomings. If he knows that his granddaughter has had such a change, he doesn't know what method to deal with Jiang Ruan.

After talking to Jiang Susu for a while, Xia Yan got up and left. After walking to the door, Xia Yan rubbed his forehead and asked, "Is Chao'er awake?"

Linlang lowered his head and said, "The second young master woke up at noon, but he got angry after waking up, and drove all the maids in the house out, and no one would see him."

Xia Yan took a deep breath: "Let's go, I'll go see him."

In the rainy weather, Ruan Ju was as leisurely as ever, not affected by the gloomy weather at all. Jiang Ruan stood at the table to practice calligraphy, Bai Zhi grind the ink for her and said, "The word "girl is getting better."

"You can't read, so what's the point?" Lian Qiao said on the side.

Bai Zhi's face turned red, and her mouth was not as good as Lian Qiao after all, so she had to lower her head: "Just look good."

Jiang Ruan put down his pen: "Do you want to learn calligraphy?"

When Lian Qiao and the other two heard this, they both looked at her in surprise and joy: "Of course I thought about it."

"I'll pick a few simple books in a few days, so you can learn to read." It's always better to know how to read. Dew drops are outside on weekdays, and Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi should also help her do something in the mansion.

"Thank you, my maid." The two maids were naturally overjoyed. For the maids, being able to read is something that only the best can do. Jiang Ruan was so grateful that they could read.

"The girl asked Lu Zhu to go out today to pick up the silver notes sent to Sihai Money House. Why is this?" Lian Qiao asked.

Jiang Ruan glanced at her. Although these two maids were loyal, they were too upright. Luzhu had traveled around the world in the early years and had seen bad things in the market, so they didn't have to worry about using them. However, these two maids still dared not use them.

"Look at the rain." Jiang Ruan looked out the window: "It was falling for a while, but I don't know when it could stop."

"Miss is joking," Bai Zhi said in surprise: "It's just a rain in spring, and it might stop tomorrow."

"But I think it won't stop." Jiang Ruan shook her head.

The previous life was also the same year. The rain started drizzling and it took three months in a row. The food in the spring could not be sown and floods were raging. Many people's houses and fields were washed away by heavy rain, and many refugees were added to the capital.

She remembered this clearly because the farm was also raging. Because of the food shortage, Zhang Lan's family made her harsh and almost cruel. Although her house was not washed away, it was always tide. She dragged her hungry body to do rough and tiring work every day, and one day she was almost washed away by the flood. Fortunately, a slaughter servant who was working on the job rescued her when she saw her, she would never forget the look of Zhang Lan's family looking at her, full of disappointment, and wished she could die in the water. At that time, Jiang Ruan thought that Zhang Lan's family thought she had occupied the food in the family, so she wanted her to die. Now, if she had died in that flood, Zhang Lan's family should have received a large reward from Xia Yan.

At that time, many refugees emerged in the capital. Each family was full of money. The refugees ran around and robbed everywhere without getting food. The poor families naturally had no extra food, so they set their sights on the wealthy families in the capital. Zhao Yi, who was the city guard at that time, led his troops to suppress him, but was hacked to death by the refugees. However, the emperor of the Nine Five Emperor ordered the Zhao family to invest in disaster relief at this time. The Zhao family paid ten thousand taels of silver, and the family's savings were almost emptied. The Zhao family seemed to have started to collapse from that time on.

Jiang Ruan knew about this matter after entering the palace. Zhao Yi mentioned it unintentionally during a chat. It was Xuan Li who suggested to the emperor that General Zhao's family was rich and might have money to provide disaster relief. Jiang Ruan had also asked Xuan Li about this, but Xuan Li's answer was that it was above the people, but it was just a thing outside of money. It was also a good deed to protect the lives of those refugees.

Thinking about it now, after that incident, Xuan Li's prestige in the court increased, but the Zhao family became weaker, perhaps it was under his plan. Zhao Yi's death was not that simple. How could a garrison in the capital be killed by unarmed rioters?

Her eyes suddenly deepened. In this life, she did not plan to be a stranger to the Zhao family. The Zhao family was her surveillance backing, so how could she make others bully like this?

"Even if the rain doesn't stop, why should the girl take out the silver?" Bai Zhi was puzzled: "No matter what the girl said, she should keep some silver around her. What should she do now?"

"I asked Luzhu to buy all the food in the capital." Jiang Ruan said lightly.

"Girl," Lian Qiao widened her eyes: "What do girls buy so much food?"

It is now spring, and the new grain is not yet available, all of which are old grains from last year. The price is not expensive, and two or three thousand silver is enough to buy most of them. The grain farmers are worried that they can't sell the grain, and they will sell all the grain when they see this.

"I thought, if the rain kept falling and it turned into a flood, the food would be expensive." Jiang Ruan smiled.

"Girl." Bai Zhi moved her lips and said nothing after all. Jiang Ruan never had room to refute her words. She was determined and the decision would not be shaken. So even if Bai Zhi thought Jiang Ruan's actions were incredible, she could only follow her.

At this moment, Luzhu pushed the door and walked in. When he saw Jiang Ruan, he smiled and said, "Miss, the person who found him has bought all the food and piled it in a warehouse in the west of the city. The key is in the hands of my servant."

She handed the key to Jiang Ruan and smiled: "Because no one has come to buy Chen grain these days, most of the rice and flour have been bought by my servants."

"You did a good job." Jiang Ruan played with the exquisite and small silver key in her hand.

"But girl," Luzhu thought for a while and said, "I saw the fifth aunt at the door of the yard. She looked like she was going to come in. I asked, but she left again."

"I understand." Jiang Ruan pondered: "Since that's the case, let's go to the Wu Auntie's courtyard to sit."
