The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Ye Yuxiao felt the desolation in the village and couldn't believe it: "What on earth has the imperial court been doing these years? Even if the hospital is short of manpower, as long as the doctors from Guang'an Prefecture can be entrusted to rescue them, so many people won't die, right? "

Ouyang Sheng said: "I have asked about this matter in detail. The Taiyuan Hospital has already handed over the control of water bugs to Guang'an Mansion, but Guang'an Mansion has been dealing with it for all these years, but there is still no progress."

"How come there is no progress?" Ye Yuxiao's frown deepened, "Even if they can't treat patients with late-stage schistosomiasis, they can always treat patients in the early and middle stages, right? Even if they can't be cured, they should Treat infested waters to prevent further infection.”

Ouyang Sheng said: "I asked the magistrate of Guang'an Prefecture about this. He said that doctors who come to Liba Village to treat diseases have to pay a fee, and the villagers in Liba Village have no money and cannot afford medical treatment."

"Can't the government afford this expense?" Ye Yuxiao asked.

"According to the prefect of Guang'an Prefecture, Guang'an Prefecture is a remote and remote area, and the government itself has no money. He gritted his teeth and allocated funds to Liba Village twice, but they were only a drop in the bucket." Ouyang Sheng replied.

Ye Yuxiao was speechless. She had known for a long time that the Xi Dynasty was no better than the new society she lived in. The court would not care if the common people got sick. Even if it was a larger-scale plague, the court's main goal was to prevent its spread. As for the patients, Life or death, that is not a topic that the superiors care about.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ouyang Sheng might have misunderstood her intention, so he held her hand in embarrassment: "I asked you to mobilize people to come to Liba Village. Am I making things too difficult for you? After all, no one is paying for you."

"Rescue people first. As for money, I will find another way to get benefits from the court." Ye Yuxiao sighed and asked, "Where should we go now?"

"Go to the village chief." Ouyang Sheng said, holding her hand and going to the only brick house in the village.

The village chief was an old man over sixty years old. He recognized Ouyang Sheng and warmly invited them to sit in the house.

Ouyang Sheng asked him: "I came here this time to inquire about one thing. Did any outsiders live in Liba Village twenty-two years ago?"

"Outsiders? Twenty-two years ago?" The village chief was a little confused. "Many wives in our village were married from outside. That's a lot to say."

Is it? Do you want to check them all? Ouyang Sheng touched his chin.

Ye Yuxiao thought for a while and asked the village chief: "Among those daughters-in-law, are any of them from the capital, or have a capital accent?"

"Yes, yes." The village chief immediately slapped his head, "There is a crazy woman who speaks Beijing dialect. She came to our village more than 20 years ago."

"Crazy bitch?" Ye Yuxiao was stunned.

"Yes, crazy lady." The village chief nodded. "She is crazy all day long. She not only claims that she is the legitimate daughter of the prince, but also claims that she is the Hou Men's wife. Everyone takes her as a joke."

The royal family's legitimate daughter, Mrs. Hou Men, isn't that her mother's identity? Ye Yuxiao stood up suddenly: "Where is she? Take me to see her."

The village chief was a little surprised when he saw that she suddenly became so serious, and hurriedly said: "How can I help the princess? I will bring her right away."

"No, I'll go see her." Ye Yuxiao insisted. If it was really her mother, it would be natural for her to go and visit her.

The village chief became increasingly surprised, but did not dare to ask any more questions. He quickly stepped forward to lead her and Ouyang Sheng to a thatched house at the west end of the village.

"Your Majesty, Princess, that crazy woman and one of her old maids live here. They have been changing water poisons for some time, and their condition has been good and bad. You two must be more careful when you go in, but Be sure not to get infected." The village chief pointed to the thatched hut and told them.

After the village chief introduced the situation to them, he led them into the house.

The thatched house was cramped and cramped, with almost no complete furniture, but it was kept clean and neatly.

"Osmanthus! Osmanthus! Is your 'Mrs. Hou' here? Call her out quickly. We have a distinguished guest!" the village chief shouted into the house.

A woman in coarse clothes, probably in her early thirties, with her unmarried hair in a bun poked her head out from inside, glanced at Ouyang Sheng and Ye Yuxiao in surprise, turned around, and helped a man with gray hair and full hair. The old woman with wrinkled face came out.

The village chief pointed at the old woman and said to Ye Yuxiao and Ouyang Sheng: "Your Majesty, Princess, this is the woman with a Beijing accent who came to Liba Village more than 20 years ago."

After he finished speaking, he said to the old woman: "This is King Yingchuan and Princess Yingchuan, why don't you salute quickly?"

"No need." Ye Yuxiao stopped the old woman before she could react.

The old woman looked at her curiously and remained silent.

Ye Yuxiao was also looking at her and asked Ouyang Sheng in a low voice: "Do you look like me?"

"She has wrinkles all over her face. It's hard to tell whether she looks like her or not." Ouyang Sheng answered honestly.

This is... okay. Ye Yuxiao asked the old woman, "Are you from the capital?"

The old woman closed her mouth tightly and said nothing.

It seems that there is really a mental problem? Ye Yuxiao had no choice but to ask the maid named Guihua: "Is your master from the capital?"

Osmanthus shook her head: "No."

Ye Yuxiao didn't believe it: "Just these two words you said, you already have a Beijing accent."

Guihua said: "We only lived in the capital for a few years, so we changed our accent."

Can you change your accent after living there for a few years? Is your language talent so strong? Ye Yuxiao still didn't believe it and simply revealed his identity: "I am the granddaughter of King Pingnan of the capital and the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Xinyang. Since you have lived in the capital, have you ever heard of me?"

As soon as she said these words, the old woman became obviously excited, and her eyes were almost glued to her face, unable to move away anymore.

Ye Yuxiao asked hurriedly: "You said you are 'Mrs. Hou', then which family are you from?"

After hearing what she said, the old woman seemed to be frightened, shaking her head and waving her hands: "No, no, I'm not Mrs. Hou, I'm not, I'm not."

Ye Yuxiao frowned.

Osmanthus supported the old woman and said to Ye Yuxiao: "My young lady is a little confused and what she says is not accurate. The term 'Mrs. Hou' is just for fun."

"Miss?" Ye Yuxiao was not that easy to fool, and immediately started to find fault with her words, "You call her miss, but she wears her hair in a married woman's bun, so she has been married. Who is her husband’s family?”

Osmanthus didn't expect her to be so careful, and her eyes were a little flustered: "Our young lady's husband's family is just a small family, and everyone is dead. Even if the slave told me, you wouldn't know who it is."

"Tell me about it. Even if I don't know, I can ask someone to find out." Ye Yuxiao insisted.

Osmanthus supported the old woman with one hand and tugged at the corner of her clothes with the other: "It's a farmer from Lijia Village, Jintan Prefecture."
