Chapter 474: Isn't She Dead?

"Why not?"

"According to what Niangniang said, how much manpower and material resources do you need to dig from the mountain? This, this is not a good deal. ”

"It's cost-effective, if you can really dig it, not only can you solve the annual drought in Los Angeles, but also can well resettle the victims who are now pouring into Los Angeles." Xiao Yan understood Su Ying's plan as soon as he heard it.

Now is a good time to dig if you are sure it can be done.

This year, many of the fields in Los Angeles have not been harvested, and the people who have no food in store during this time can only wait to starve to death, if they are not properly arranged, it will have a bad impact on the local area, if they have something to do at this time, and can also earn a family's rations, they will definitely be willing to participate.

Digging ditches and opening mountains is a long and heavy work, which requires a lot of manpower, and it is perfect to do it at this time.

However, the more specific steps of this matter require people from the Ministry of Industry and the responsible officials in Los Angeles to make precise calculations before they know whether it is feasible.

Wei Zhongming was silent when he saw Xiao Yan speak, and somehow, he always felt that this Beijing official must be so big that he couldn't afford to provoke him.

Zhou Xiangrong stood aside, her gaze swept over Su Ying's face, but her eyes were not deliberate, so she would not attract the attention of others.

Her apricot eyes turned, and fell on Xiao Yan again, obviously an ordinary face but with an extraordinary temperament, she felt that this man was definitely not simple.

She tried her best to minimize her presence, knowing that Wei Zhongming looked up and found that she was still on the side.

"Niangniang, after you left the city, the plague broke out in the disaster area outside the city, but don't worry, now the epidemic has been cured by this Zhou girl."

Zhou Xiangrong heard Wei Zhongming mention that he slowly walked up to Su Ying and bowed, "The little girl sees the queen's mother." ”

When she walked into the ember study, Su Ying noticed Zhou Xiangrong, she didn't open her mouth to drive people away, and she knew what they said, and it didn't hurt to let others hear it.

Now that Zhou Xiangrong walked to the bright place, Su Ying also saw her appearance clearly, and her brows were twisted into Sichuan characters.

She seemed to have seen her somewhere, but the memory was probably too vague for her to remember for a moment.

However, Wei Zhongming's words surprised her, there was an outbreak of the plague, and she was cured so quickly?

Since ancient times, the shortest epidemic has to be tossed for several months and more than half a year, and even if she leaves for less than half a month, is this too fast?

"What epidemic has been cured?"

Wei Zhongming said: "Yes, Niangniang, Weichen has already found a number of doctors to see it, and I am sure that those sick people have really recovered." ”

Su Ying believes that there will be powerful people in every era, but such a contagious infectious disease can be cured in such a short period of time, and the source of the disease can be blocked, which still makes her somewhat skeptical.

"What about the medical book, what about the prescription for treatment, show it to this palace."

Zhou Xiangrong quickly raised his head and glanced at Su Ying, "Back to Niangniang, the little woman has never brought the sick book with her, and the little woman can write it out to her mother." ”

Su Ying asked her to write, and Wei Zhongming asked the official to get the sick book.

Zhou Xiangrong wrote the prescription and presented it to Su Ying, who knew that it was for the treatment of the heart after reading the prescription.

"What's your name?"

"Little girl Zhou Xiangrong."

"Background?"

"The little girl's father is Bo'anhou, and the little woman is the eldest lady of the Bai'anhou Mansion."

Su Ying asked, Zhou Xiangrong replied, didn't say a word, she looked supple and polite, but she was not tactful enough, so she would not make people think that she was scheming.

Xiao Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, "The Bo'an Hou Mansion has been in Beijing for generations, why are you in Los Angeles?" ”

What wealthy family can let their unmarried daughter go out of the door so far alone.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiangrong pursed his lips, "Back to my lord, last month was the death day of the little woman's mother, her mother is from Lincheng, after her mother passed away, the bones were sent back to Lincheng, the little woman misses her mother every year to Lincheng to worship, occasionally stay for some days, and then I heard that there was a plague in Los Angeles and wanted to come and see." ”

Her words are vague, but they reveal a lot of information, a woman marries her husband, and when her wife dies, she naturally hides in the grave of her husband's family, and there is no reason to return to her mother's house, unless there is some unknown reason.

During the inquiry, the official rushed back with the medical booklet.

"Mother, the sick book is here."

Su Ying took the medical book and looked at it carefully.

There are several doctor's versions of this booklet, so that Su Ying can better understand the true illness of the patient.

For a while, only the sound of Su Ying turning the pages was left in the study, and no one made a sound.

After reading it once, Su Ying had a rough idea in her heart, she closed the medical book and said, "All the patients' diseases have been cured?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, eight or nine are not far from ten."

Su Ying's brows twisted slightly, "What this palace wants is an accurate answer, yes or no." ”

Wei Zhongming quickly glanced at the housekeeper on the side, and the housekeeper hurriedly said: "Hui Niangniang, they are all cured, just this afternoon, they said that they were all fine." ”

For the sake of insurance, Su Ying planned to go and see the cured patients and let Wei Zhongming prepare the car.

Wei Zhongming didn't dare to disobey, and immediately asked the housekeeper to do the same.

Su Ying stood up and glanced at Zhou Xiangrong, "You come along." ”

"Yes."

There was only one carriage parked outside the gate of the mansion, and during this time, the government was very busy, and everything that could be used was used, and this car was still Wei Zhongming's usual sitting, and he was reluctant to take it for public use.

Xiao Ember helped Su Ying to get into the car, and then he followed, Wei Zhongming also wanted to get in the car, and when he met Xiao Ye's dark eyes, he immediately retracted.

Zhou Xiangrong sat next to the coachman with his eyes down, and he didn't mean to enter the carriage.

After Xiao Shen closed the door, the carriage started slowly.

Xiao Shen took Su Ying's hand and pulled him into his arms and hugged him, he didn't like his disguised identity very much now, and he couldn't get too close to her in front of people.

Su Ying leaned on Xiao Yan's arms, and it was more comfortable to sit on him.

"The current Mrs. Bo'anhou is the stepfamily?"

Xiao Ember pondered for a moment before saying, "It should be." ”

In the capital full of nobles, the Marquis of Bo'an's Mansion is really not ranked, and it is a third-rate family that is squeezed out, and this generation of the Marquis of Bo'an is only a small six-grade official in Beijing, and if Zhou Xiangrong's generation can no longer produce a capable person, the title of this Marquis of the Marquis of Bo'an will be withdrawn, and the title of the Marquis of Bo'an can only be hereditary for three generations, if there is no great merit after three generations, the title will be withdrawn at any time.

Looking at the news revealed by Zhou Xiangrong's words, it can be seen that she is likely to be unfavored at home.

However, Su Ying didn't care about this, she wanted to know more about how she managed to cure the epidemic in a short period of time.

Su Ying slowly closed her eyes, and a clear memory fragment suddenly flashed in her mind, and she sat up straight.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Ying's eyebrows sank, and she said faintly: "She...... Isn't it already dead? ”
