Chapter 139: Crow's Beak

“…… So, what do you think? Wang Meng looked at Xiao Ru's eyes very seriously. He asked in a low voice.

Her behavior made Xiaoru confused for a while, and said in surprise: "Shanxi is in trouble...... What's the matter with me? ”

A while ago, disasters were frequent throughout the country, especially in Shanxi, where the drought was the most severe, but last year, today's Shengshang accepted the opinion of the great master Sun Zhi, and experimentally planted a batch of new crops from overseas, at first it was the seeds provided by Xiaoru, and after tasting the sweetness, the emperor specially ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go to sea and collected a lot of good things from overseas, among which the most drought-resistant crops and the variety were comprehensive, but it was not Xiaoru's own small fight that could be compared, when I knew the news, Xiaoru was still quite depressed, Knowing this, it is better to wait directly for the imperial court to introduce crops and then plant them yourself, anyway, just so that your family can eat good things. It's not to make any money, it doesn't matter if it's slow, and it saves her a few friends trouble, but she doesn't want to think about it, if she hadn't gotten back the good things first and tried to plant them, how could the old man make such a proposal, and how could the saint see this kind of benefit today!

Although the popularization of new varieties of grain is still very slow and the scope is not only, however, there are a few experimental areas in Shanxi, which still slightly alleviates the disaster situation in various places, and the pressure on the imperial court is also much smaller.

The disaster in Shanxi is quite big, and there are even some inactive officials who have been dismissed from their posts and questioned for their crimes, and there are also many gossip circulating in the capital, of course Xiaoru also knows, but only listens to new things, and never takes it to heart.

"Please, my little aunt, Shanxi is your hometown, as far as I know, your Gao family, I remember it is Meixian County, Sichuan...... I think the hardest hit. ”

Xiaoru was stunned, and then remembered that her hometown in this life was in Shanxi. Mainly after the death of her parents, she didn't like that family at all, and she didn't have any feelings, of course she couldn't think of it at this time, but in addition to the Zhang family and her children, there were also some elders in the clan, and Xiaoru was a little worried: "Eh...... It shouldn't be anything, I don't care if the Zhang family lives or dies, other people's family businesses are still a little bit, and the Gao family used to be considered a rich and noble family, and it was not so easy to fall. ”

Wang Meng smiled and said with a bit of sarcasm: "I heard that many people in Meixian County have fled for refugees, and several big towns around are crowded, you should be careful, don't let trouble come to the door." ”

Xiaoru didn't take Miss Wang Meng's joke to heart, she just took a sip of mint boiled goat milk by herself, nodded with satisfaction, and felt that the imperial chef still had the ability, and the goat milk she made out didn't smell fishy at all. I really don't know why Wang Meng is always dissatisfied, and his mouth is simply not like words.

The two of them gossiped for a while, first talked a little about the pox, although the matter has been handed over to the Tai Hospital, taken over by the senior doctors, but Xiaoru is still more concerned, how can she say that she is also a doctor, the most important thing for you is your own business, those Tai Doctors don't dare to despise her now, the medical case or something is taken to the hospital on time for her to see, the current progress is good, most of the aristocratic children in the capital have pox.

Wang Meng and Xiaoru's thinking is imaginative, where they think of it, they talk about it, Xiaoru is most concerned about when their own laboratory will be completed, and even thinks that as long as the equipment can be used, it doesn't need to be very fine, anyway, she is not doing any serious big experiments, making some penicillin and other drugs, but Wang Meng doesn't think so, and always feels that the things in the laboratory have to be careful and careful, otherwise in case of an accident, it will be unlucky but Xiaoru, And now it is obviously the leading concubine Jing who has both technology and ability, so the completion of Xiaoru's laboratory can only be postponed indefinitely.

Staying in the palace for dinner, Xiaoru tried the food that was criticized by Wang Meng as useless, and it was indeed only exquisite and gorgeous in appearance. The taste is a little worse, but if it is placed outside, it can be regarded as a good delicacy, Xiaoru still happily ate a meal, and then said goodbye and went home.

The days that followed were dull, Xiao Ru's baby son was fun, the little guy looked like a tiger, more and more like Xiao Ru, except for a pair of eyes, other places are not very similar to Lou Yi, but it is those eyes that make this little guy very cute, black, bright and pure, like a pearl, everyone who sees it, feels relaxed.

Xiaoru always unconsciously compares the eyes of her son and Lou Yi, and gradually emerges, each with its own charming, the eyes of the baby son are more innocent, and the eyes of his own father-in-law. A little more profound.

Lou Yi has also been living like a spring breeze recently, because his beautiful daughter-in-law always looks at himself and can see the gods, so it's no wonder he is proud.

Brother Fan is indeed lovely, that kid doesn't recognize life, now he has just learned to crawl, always scurrying around in the baby room, sometimes trying to smuggle out of the door, laughing when he sees people, and always happy that Mrs. Lou takes him out to meet guests.

The ladies also treated him very well, and always dealt with him. Even if it makes him uncomfortable, this kid will frown at most, unless he is hungry and peeing or something, and he will not cry.

My son is all right, but there is a little bit of a problem, this kid follows whoever he holds, so that the old lady has to watch and care every day, for fear that if she doesn't pay attention, her baby grandson will be abducted.

Xiaoru couldn't cry or laugh at this, obviously when she was a child, in addition to her familiar parents and relatives, others cried when they touched it, I heard her mother-in-law say that Lou Yi was even more powerful, in addition to being close to her mother when she was a child, she would never let people get close to her mother, so that the Lou family didn't dare to invite the nurse and maid, until Lou Yi was sensible and recognized people, it was just Mrs. Lou alone, but it was very hard.

Of course, this kind of complaint Xiaoru can only secretly say, if the father and mother-in-law hear it, it will be terrible, the two of them have to work hard to debate with Xiaoru, in their eyes, their precious children and grandchildren are bold and don't know, smart and cute performance, how can they say a 'stupid' word.

There is no way, Xiaoru had to tell her baby son over and over again, don't go with people casually, there are a lot of bad people outside, of course, such a young baby, whether he can understand Xiaoru's words, it's hard to say.

The days passed. The heat is getting heavier and heavier, so hot that people are no longer willing to go out, and the animals of the Lou family have also begun to be afraid of the heat, so they don't wander around the yard in their spare time, and obediently stay in the cool nest, waiting for the owner to serve and eat.

The Lou family does not have an ice store, but the ice of the neighbor next door is absolutely enough, so Xiaoru is living a comfortable life of eating ice every day, but unfortunately, in the evening of midsummer, Lou Yi came home and said a sentence - "Daughter-in-law, I saw your stepmother today, and it seems that I am out to inquire about the news of our family......"

Xiao Ru was stunned, couldn't help but bared her teeth, and said in her heart, Wang Meng, you really have a damn crow's mouth!
