Chapter 439 Rumors
Seeing his wife in his arms who looked like this, Shen Wenchen couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her.
"What are you doing! You're about to get a new wife, and you're cuddling with me!" Nanzhi snorted and tried to break away from his arms, causing Shen Wenchen to coax her again.
"Nan Nan, you are my wife. Don't say those words again in the future. I don't want to hear them." Shen Wenchen looked at his wife's palm-sized face with sincere eyes. Seeing her nodding, he continued: "Now if Frankly asking people to hoard food will not only be ineffective, but will also cause them to lose confidence in us.
But if there was a different approach, maybe they would be more proactive. "
Nanzhi was a little confused when he heard it, but when she met his smiling eyes, she understood what he said.
I am the wife of the city lord and a businessman. Since the people do not believe the official news, I will do it myself.
"I understand." With a smile on her face, Nanzhi began to think about her fortune.
Excluding what Shen Wenchen gave her, she earned nearly three thousand taels of silver in the past six months.
Although it seems like a lot, if you want to buy food from other places now, the price will be high or not low. Even if you buy all the food, even the rice noodles will only be enough for the people of Yancheng to eat six and a half kilograms per person.
These are just the people in the city. Counting the surrounding villages and towns, there are probably even fewer.
Now that Shen Wenchen has sent people to collect the grain, he can still take another turn by reorganizing a caravan and setting off.
It wasn't until Shen Zhiyu came in and knocked on the door that the two of them raised their heads from the desk.
Shen Wenchen sent Liu Jie and another subordinate to go out to buy food with 10,000 taels of silver each. Some of the surrounding cities also had problems. It would take at least half a month for them to come back. Nanzhi could only ask Shang to The team went far away, and after going back and forth like this, they couldn't get back in a month.
It’s already the twelfth lunar month, I just hope I can come back before the end of the year...
"Mom! Dad! Let's go!" Xiao Zhiyu was neatly dressed and standing at the door of the study, looking in.
Nanzhi was stunned for a moment, then patted his forehead in frustration for a long time.
How could she forget that she agreed to go out to watch the lanterns with Zhiyu today?
Seeing the confusion on his father's face and his mother's actions, Shen Zhiyu curled his lips and felt a little disappointed.
Ever since grandma had a baby in her belly, she has always been unable to remember things, even what she said.
"Zhiyu, I'm sorry, grandma forgot..." Nanzhi looked a little guilty, and she forgot about buying food as soon as she mentioned it.
"It's okay, Auntie, you and Daddy are busy, I'll go with Brother Xiaomi." The little guy smiled, but the eyes that looked very similar to Nanzhi's were filled with water, and he looked stubborn. And a little pitiful.
"Wen Chen, let's go see the lanterns." Nanzhi tugged on the corner of Shen Wenchen's clothes and quickly got up.
Shen Wenchen guessed that it was his son's idea and just stood up.
Seeing that his parents didn't let him and Xiaomi watch the lanterns together again, the little guy's eyes lit up: "Mom, you and daddy get ready quickly. Brother Xiaomi and I will go together to let the groom harness the cart."
Looking at her son's running back, Nanzhi felt a little helpless and could only say with concern: "Run slower! Be careful not to fall!"
"good--"
The little baby's voice cheered with joy, which made Nanzhi's expression soften a little.
"Nannan, can you go out?"
Shen Wenchen always remembered his wife's worries. Now that she agreed to go out to watch the lanterns, I felt a little uneasy.
He remembered his wife's terrifyingly accurate intuition.
"It's okay." Nanzhi shook his head and patted Shen Wenchen comfortingly.
Feeling the strong touch under her hand, Nanzhi pursed her lips, feeling a little proud.
Look, this is my man!
These strong and tight muscles are worthy of being the child’s father!
Seeing the proud expression of his wife in front of him, Shen Wenchen was a little funny, so he just hugged her and put a cloak on her.
She hasn't painted her eyebrows since she was pregnant. Now the snow-white fox fur makes her small face even whiter, and her lips are only a hint of pink. However, her watery almond eyes look like they are falling into the sky. The galaxy is very beautiful.
"Okay, it's time for us to set off. Zhiyu will be unhappy in a while." Shen Wenchen smiled and put on the hat for her. Looking at her face that was mostly covered, he smiled with satisfaction.
In this way, Nannan will neither be blown by the wind nor noticed by others.
His Nannan can only be seen by himself.
Mapo only told Shen Wenchen to take care of Nanzhi and not eat cold things.
With Shen Wenchen's assurance, Mapo got out of the way.
Shen Zhiyu and Xiaomi were sitting upright on the carriage. After a while, they would poke their heads out to see if they had come out, which made Xiaomi unable to sit still.
"Zhiyu, how about I go take a look?"
Xiaomi was a little helpless. He had been up more than a dozen times in less than a quarter of an hour. The city lord and his wife would never get lost in their own home.
"No, no, no, they will come." Shen Zhiyu shook his head, but his eyes were still fixed on his door.
It wasn't until he saw them coming out that the little guy breathed a sigh of relief.
He just said that Aniang would not lie to him!
Thinking of what his classmates said, the little guy felt a little arrogant. He wanted to show those people that his mother-in-law was the best!
It’s not like you don’t want yourself anymore when you have younger brothers and sisters!
The little guy wiped his face and then took the initiative to open the car curtain.
"Daddy, grandma, here!"
The lights in Yancheng City are bright, and all kinds of lanterns are hung high, which only makes people sigh.
Each year's lanterns have a colorful head, usually one from each of the four major families in Yancheng.
Naturally, these four families are the most outstanding in the annual lanterns.
The carriage of the City Lord's Palace entered the street, and the surrounding people naturally gave way. The curtains of the carriage were raised, revealing the appearance of the people in the carriage.
Nanzhi put down his cloak and appeared in the public eye for the first time after becoming pregnant.
Shen Wenchen was still dressed in mysterious clothes, with a high jade crown and a cold brow.
Two young boys were sitting among them, one seemed to be a little fairy boy in calligraphy and painting, and the other seemed to be the son of a military commander.
Some of the sharp-eyed people onlookers immediately called out to their companions.
Since hearing that the city lord's wife was pregnant three months ago, no one has seen her again.
The common people would always talk about something after dinner. Naturally, some people spread the news that the city lord's wife was pregnant and wanted to get a boy at one stroke, and then kicked out the young master.
Most of the adults talked quietly and privately, but the little kid happened to listen.
His classmate, a mud-legged fellow from a foreign country, suddenly became the son of the city lord. With his wife's compliments from time to time, Shen Zhiyu had long been the target of many people in the school.
If you can't compare with family affairs and studies, then you can only make up gossip.
As soon as the Lantern Festival started, Shen Wenchen and Nanzhi broke many rumors as soon as they appeared on the scene.
