The left one opened his mouth wide.

He was used to the reservedness of the noble ladies in the capital. They were proud of their noble status and strictly followed etiquette in every move. They smiled without showing their teeth, walked lightly, and even ate in small bites. Unlike Lu Ke'er, she ate with big mouthfuls and wiped the fruit directly on her sleeves. If she was seen by the people of the noble families in the capital, they would definitely criticize her for being vulgar.

I glanced secretly at the night breeze.

His Highness, who was always very strict in observing the rules, was staring at Lu Ke'er without blinking.

Ah, Lu Ke'er's vulgar behavior must have disgusted His Highness.

"Your Highness... Young Master Xiao, Miss Lu grew up in the countryside, so her manners are inevitably... inevitably a little vulgar..." He spoke carefully for Lu Ke'er.

Therefore, Your Highness, if Miss Lu has the opportunity to come to Beijing in the future, you must first order a few maids to teach her etiquette.

Otherwise, Miss Lu would probably be ridiculed by the noble families in the capital.

"Can you speak?" Ye Feng glared at him, then turned his head to look at Lu Ke'er, his eyes seemed to be dripping with water, "Ke'er, this is not vulgar, this is called straightforwardness! This is called unrestrained! Do you understand?"

Zuo was stunned.

I vaguely recalled that during this period of time, His Highness had become like Miss Lu, no longer the aloof and pure god-like figure, but becoming more and more down-to-earth.

He would drink water in big gulps, eat meat in big mouthfuls, and even sit on the ground with his clothes lifted up.

"Why don't you eat? Try it, it's really delicious." Seeing the two of them standing there in a daze, Lu Ke'er urged them while eating.

Little Lu Mingxi's mouth was already full of red juice.

"Okay." Ye Feng also imitated Lu Ke'er, rubbed the persimmon on his sleeve, and then started to eat it.

It's really sweet.

Zuo Yi suddenly had a new understanding of Lu Ke'er.

The importance of this girl in His Highness's mind can be further increased.

After eating the persimmons, they picked a lot more. Except for the ones on the top of the tree, they picked almost all the ones they could. They planned to take them home for Lu Tianning and Ji to taste. The extra ones could be distributed to neighbors and villagers.

After picking the persimmons, Lu Keer carefully observed the hillside.

There is abundant spiritual energy on the hillside, but thin spiritual energy around it. It is obvious that there are spiritual creatures on the hillside.

But Lu Ke'er walked the entire hillside and didn't find out what the specific spiritual object was.

Standing on the hillside and looking at the green grass below her feet, Lu Ke'er guessed that the spiritual creature must be buried deep in the soil.

"Ke'er, what are you looking for?" Ye Feng asked her.

"I was wondering, if I want to buy this place, is it feasible?" Lu Ke'er thought for a while and replied.

Ye Feng was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt it was natural.

"This should be forest land under the jurisdiction of Jinji Town. If you want to buy it, you can go to the Xilin County Government to inquire about the price and go through the relevant procedures."

"This place is more than ten miles away from Jinji Town and nearly ten miles away from Lingxia Village. Although it is not far from home, there is nothing here. What's the point of buying this land?" Zuo Yi was puzzled.

"There is plenty of sunshine and water here. It is backed by green mountains, faces a stream, and is not far from the official road. It is suitable for building a villa and an orchard. Xiao Xiao, let's go to the Xilin County government office now and buy this land quickly."

………………

That night, when Lu Tianning and Ji saw the land deed in their hands, they felt like they were dreaming.

"This... our family bought a forest and a hillside?" Ji asked in a daze.

"Yes." Lu Ke'er nodded. "It's about ten miles away from our village, with a total of more than thirty acres, and only one hundred taels of silver. It's really cheap."

"You...you kid, why didn't you discuss this important matter with your family?" Ji was a woman after all. In her opinion, the decision on buying land and property had to be made by the man in the family.

Lu Tianning patted Ji's hand and told her not to be so anxious.

"Ke'er must have her reasons for buying this land." He has great confidence in Lu Ke'er.

"Dad still understands me." Lu Ke'er winked at Lu Tianning and said, "I plan to build a villa there and plant an orchard. The soil there is good, and the water quality is also good. The fruit trees grown there must be of high quality."

After that, she took out a bag, pulled out a few red persimmons from it, and handed them to Lu Tianning and Ji: "Dad, Mom, these are from a wild persimmon tree beside the hillside. Look, these persimmons are big, red, and very sweet."

Lu Tianning and Ji ate a persimmon, but couldn't help but eat another one.

While eating persimmons, Ji asked excitedly, "Ke'er, do you think the fruits grown on that land will be so delicious if we plant fruit trees there?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I buy that land?"

"Okay, Mom supports you!"

"Dad supports you too!"

"Xiao Xi also supports you!" Little Lu Mingxi shouted, unwilling to be left behind.

The family laughed.

The Lu family was very busy in the following days.

Lei Zheng helped Lu Keer recruit ten villagers in the village to help the Lu family repair the house. These ten villagers had all done this kind of work before, and they were all honest and hardworking. Lu Keer referred to the budget list Qin Fang had given her, and raised it a bit appropriately, offering each person a wage of fifty coins per day, and also outsourcing three meals. Among these ten people, there was Aqi, who was good at growing flowers and plants. Lu Keer didn't have to worry about the wood and stone materials for the repair, and all of them were handed over to Hu Ya. Hu Ya was proficient in carpentry and familiar with the market, and knew where to buy high-quality and low-cost materials.

When Lei Zheng first spread the news that the Lu family was recruiting workers in the village, Lin Yunhua and Lin Qin sneered at people in the village: "Working for the Lu family? It's better to go to town to find a job. What good price can the Lu family give? In business, who doesn't take advantage of the familiar?"

When they saw Ma Dani, they pulled her aside and started speaking ill of the Lu family as usual.

But this time, Ma Dani only glanced at Lin Yunhua indifferently and said, "I remember that you were sick with an epidemic some time ago, and it was Lu Ke'er who cured you."

Lin Yunhua's expression froze, and she stiffened her neck and said, "The head of the village asked her to come and treat it."

Ma Dani snorted coldly: "So, it was Lu Ke'er who cured you. You received the Lu family's kindness, but you slandered and insulted the Lu family in every possible way. Is this what a human being would do?"

"Oh!" Lin Yunhua was furious. "Aren't you always comparing your Jinfeng with that stinky girl Lu Ke'er? You've scolded the Lu family a lot in the past! What's the matter? What kind of magic potion did the Lu family give you to make you speak for the Lu family? Your Jinfeng will be so angry that she will die."

When she heard her mention her daughter Jinfeng, Ma Dani's face became even more unpleasant.

When she was sick, Jinfeng said she was going to the town to get a doctor, but she was gone for several days. If it weren't for Jinfeng's father sending a message, she wouldn't have known that Jinfeng had gone to her father.

It turns out that this little girl was worried that she would be infected by her if she lived with her, so she found an excuse to escape from her seriously ill mother.

When she thought of this, Madanyi felt pain and sorrow in her heart, and felt that she had raised this daughter in vain.

During her illness, Ji took time out to take care of her, help her make medicine, and bring her meals. Now she has recovered, but her daughter Jinfeng has not returned yet.

"My life was saved by the Lu family." Ma Dani glared at Lin Yunhua coldly and said, "God is watching what you do. I advise you to be more restrained. I don't ask you to repay the favor, but at least don't be ungrateful!"

After that, he walked away.

Lin Yunhua was so angry that she started cursing.

It was lucky to be able to find work when winter was approaching. Moreover, the Lu family offered high wages and provided rich meals. In addition to thick rice porridge and appetizers for breakfast, each person also had a meat bun and an egg. There were meat dishes for lunch and dinner, and rice was enough to fill up. The food was better than the New Year's Eve in the village. Those who came to work for the Lu family were all smiling. Those who hesitated and did not sign up in time all regretted it.
