Chapter Seventy-Nine: Disaster Relief Funds

Hearing this, Chu Nian turned his eyes, a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes, Chu Hezhou was frowning and looking at the villagers who were sick in front of the tent, but he didn't notice it, and when he turned around, he saw Chu Nian who was indulging in his eyes. I saw Chu Nian leaning over slightly and said respectfully: "Father, there is a plague outbreak in the village, but I am afraid that the villagers will be more auspicious." ”

Chu Hezhou frowned indifferently, "Have you figured out how to deal with it?" ”

"Yes, father, but I still need my father to do everything himself, and this is also a good opportunity for our Zhenning Hou Mansion to turn over."

Hearing this, Chu Hezhou frowned. Since he offended the Chen family last time because Chu Nian offended the Chen family, he has become the target of public criticism in the court, so every time Chu Nian says "the opportunity for the Zhenning Marquis Mansion to turn over", Chu Hezhou will obey Chu Nian's words, but if he says this too much, Chu Hezhou, who is ordered by his daughter all day long, will inevitably be unhappy in his heart, but Chu Nian is not bad every time, and it can only make Chu Hezhou feel a little resentful.

At the end, Chu Hezhou sighed and said, "It's all up to you." ”

Chu Nian smiled, approached Chu Hezhou and whispered: "If the people in the court know that the Marquis of Zhenning personally takes care of the sick victims, they will definitely look at my father differently, my father can rest assured, my people have a prescription for the prevention and treatment of the plague, and then my father only needs to drink the medicine to prevent the plague and take care of the victims himself, there will be no danger of contracting the disease, but if the emperor hears about this, he will definitely reward his father, and his father's previous affairs can be revealed." ”

Chu Hezhou's eyes lit up, he glanced at Chu Nian appreciatively, and said: "It used to be incompetent for your father, you don't have to take it to heart, my father has already heard about what happened in Beijing, Nian'er can rest assured, after going back, my father will definitely punish the unrighteous Xiao Chen." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian smiled as if she was satisfied, and saw Chu Hezhou covering her head with a big hand, wanting to make a gesture of being a father, but was avoided by Chu Nian, Chu Hezhou thought that she remembered that he had snubbed her before, so he pretended to be a helpless father and sighed.

Soon after, Chu Nian took the medicine and personally fed Chu Hezhou to drink, Chu Hezhou obediently went to take care of the villagers, and when they saw that the Hou of Zhenning was not afraid of the plague and took care of the seriously ill villagers personally, the villagers were all grateful, and almost worshiped the superficial and kind Marquis of Zhenning as a god, knowing that Chu Nian, who helped them at the beginning, was the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenning, and he praised the entire Marquis of Zhenning.

After a short time, Liu Qi had already counted the number of infected people, and carefully sent the list to Chu Nian, who ordered the villagers who were not infected to be isolated, and the aunt gave them the medicine to prevent and control the plague, and drank each of them, so that the epidemic could be controlled. And the people sent by Chu Nian to investigate the situation downstream earlier also reported that the people in the lower reaches of the river were not infected with the disease, and Chu Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

At night, Liu Qi and Ah Wu were all in Chu Nian's tent, and Chu Hezhou took care of a few sick people, so they said that they were tired and fell asleep, and they were naturally not there at this moment.

Chu Nian stared at the map of Bianxian County on the table and was stunned, this flooded river runs through the entire Bianxian County, and no less than ten embankments have been built, judging from Liu Mowei's actions, he will definitely not only be greedy for the money of the embankment of He'an Village, if this is the case, it is impossible for He'an Village to be affected.

But there was no plague downstream, and there was no disaster, and the spies sent also said that several villages downstream were all fine, and it seemed that someone had taken precautions in advance, but they did not do it in He'an Village.

"Auntie, are you still complete with the medicine in the prescription?"

After a while, Chu Nian looked sideways at Ah Nian as if she remembered something, and at this moment Ah Ao was reading the medical book in her hand seriously, and when she heard Chu Nian's words, she raised her head and said, "Lady, the prescription has been prepared, but it is still a little bit of salvia." ”

Chu Nian frowned, and then listened to Liu Qidao: "It seems that there is no salvia in Bianxian." ”

The growth environment of salvia is very poor, the yield is low, so the price is also extremely high, because Bianxian County is oppressed by corrupt officials all the year round, naturally there is no money to introduce this herb, and the need for salvia, can only go to Tongzhou, which is adjacent to Bianxian County, to purchase.

"Has the disaster relief money arrived?"

Liu Qi was in charge of this matter, and Liu Qi sent someone to rush to the court overnight to inform the court of Liu Mowei's matter, and the matter of applying for disaster relief funds was naturally taught to him, but at this time, he saw that Liu Qi's face was not good-looking, so he shook his head helplessly and said: "The above promised to allocate disaster relief funds, but for some reason, it has not arrived until now." ”

Chu Nian frowned, "Send someone to urge again." ”

Liu Qi stood up, "It is estimated that it will take a few days to urge, but now that the epidemic among the victims is under control, most of the lives are in danger, and the medicine for this treatment is urgent." ”

A hint of worry flashed in her eyes, you know, these days she and those guards are taking care of the infected victims, some of these victims are old and young, no matter which one is so pitiful that people's hearts are moved.

When the two of them were worried, they saw Chu Nian sly smiling, and saw her take out the hundreds of taels of silver tickets that Liu Mowei had given before and the silver tickets from Chu Hezhou from her arms, "These silver tickets should be enough, right?" ”

Seeing the silver tickets, Liu Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Where did Sanniang get so many silver tickets?" ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, "Two corrupt officials were found." ”

At this moment, Liu Qi has no time to take into account which two of the "two" corrupt officials in Chu Nian's words are, but the current predicament has been solved with these hundreds of taels of silver tickets.

"Great, San Ladies!"

Ignoring the surprised voice of the grandmother, Liu Qi suddenly said with a straight face: "Do you know that it is a felony to privately possess the property of a corrupt official? ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows and looked at him, a pair of eyes hidden in the whirlpool seemed to devour Liu Qi, this kind of gaze saw Liu Qi's heart empty, so he had to turn his face away, he just said his worries, she looked at him like this.

Without waiting for Liu Qijiang to open his mouth, he saw Chu Nianxing coming to the table, pouring tea for himself, and while holding the teacup, he said, "General Liu may think of a better way?" If I hadn't searched out all the silver on Liu Mowei's body, do you think today's matter would have been resolved? ”

Seeing Chu Nian's cold face, Liu Qi became more and more unhappy in his heart, and opened his mouth, but the words did not come out.

He was just worried about her, and he didn't say he wanted to report it, why did she always think of him so badly?

After a while, Chu Nian put down the teacup in his hand and stuffed all the silver tickets into Ah Wu's arms, "Ah Wu, even if you use this money to purchase medicinal materials, if there is really a traitor to report, I will bear it." ”

After that, she turned around and walked out of the account, not giving Liu Qi any chance to argue.

Ah Wu looked at Liu Qi, who was standing in place with a frown, and looked puzzled, and after a while, she lowered her head, bypassed Liu Qi with the silver ticket, and chased Chu Nian.

In the silence, Liu Qicai suddenly came back to his senses, and after a long sigh, he smiled bitterly, he felt that she was familiar when he saw her for the first time, and he felt more and more like her today...... That's it, how can it be the same person, that person is already dead, has been buried on the cliff, and the person who has been forced into a dead end by his own hands, how can he come back from the dead?

If she's still alive...... A trace of regret flashed in Liu Qi's eyes, if she was still alive and someone else in her heart, what was the use of his pity? What's more, until she died, she never understood his true heart......

……

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Let's say that at this moment, on the hillside by the river, Chu Nian sat on the rain grass, and beside her, a figure stood with his hands in his hands.

She didn't speak, he didn't speak, the two of them were relatively silent under the starlight in the countryside, a breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness, and Chu Nian hugged his shoulders tightly.

At this moment, the shoulders were wrapped in a burst of warmth, and the fragrance of lotus flowers suddenly filled the tip of the nose.

Chu Nian raised his eyes and looked at her with concern, "Cold?" ”

She smiled lightly, shook her head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for traveling so far to bring clothes to the little girl." ”

Ming Xiu opened his mouth, and at the end, his thin lips pursed, and he leaned over, and sat down beside her, he reached out and grabbed her shoulder, seeing that she didn't refuse, he had to take her into his arms inch by inch.

"Lone is just worried about you."

The temperature in his arms made Chu Nian unable to refuse, but fortunately he was lying down honestly, anyway, he was so domineering and rubbed oil not once or twice.

"Your Highness didn't need to worry, Auntie and the secret guards are here, what can happen to me."

Ming Xiu opened his mouth, and Shu Er smiled, "I don't know if you don't come, you have such an ability to improvise, if you come alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle this matter well." ”

A strange feeling rose in Chu Nian's heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but expand into a smug smile, and then he straightened up and said, "Has Your Highness been to the prefect's mansion to check?" ”

Another breeze blew by, and Ming Xiu naturally hugged his arms tightly, "I've been there." ”

"Who is it that brought the disaster under control in advance?"

"A scholar."

"A scholar?" Chu Nian raised her head in surprise, but after a moment, she reacted again, and shrugged her shoulders in surprise, with a situation like a corrupt official like Bianxian, it is normal for a scholar with great ambitions to be unambitious, but since he has never had a will, he still cares about the people, and he thinks that this scholar is also a talent that can be created.

Seeing Chu Nian's calm face, Ming Xiu couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, he never made a mistake when he looked at people, just like Chu Nian, he knew at first glance that she was a person with a clear mind, and he didn't need him to say anything at all, she knew everything.

"Gu has already sent someone to bring him into the capital, and it's up to you to decide where to send him."

He went into the scholar's bedroom last night, and scared the scholar half to death, but he reacted very quickly, knowing that the crown prince was because the court was involuntarily pretending to be stupid, so he gladly accepted.

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, "Your Highness, can you see clearly that person is not a short-sighted person?" ”

Ming Xiu shook his head, "The person who can secretly turn the tide under the noses of corrupt officials in such a situation will not be short-sighted. ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian nodded, accepted his statement, and gently leaned into his arms, but it was the fragrance of lotus flowers that made people can't help but fight their eyelids.

Xu was too comfortable in his arms, and after a while, Chu Nian fell asleep.

Ming Xiu lowered his eyes and looked at the sleeping person in his arms, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

On the book not far behind them, several secret guards were biting an apple to watch a play, and the dark three eyes found the aunt hiding behind the tree and smirking, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"You see, Grandma's Divine Doctor also looks stupid like Mei Xiang."

Dark One also saw Grandma on the side, "You are stupid, I think Grandma is the best at all times." ”

Dark San rolled his eyes, "Don't think about it, Grandma Divine Doctor already has Zhao Er's nerd!" ”
