Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

Eunuch Zheng weighed the purse in his hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The weight of the purse was at least ten taels. He was not surprised by the weight of the purse, as he had received much more silver in the capital. However, he did not expect that a remote farmer could actually take out more than ten taels of silver to bribe.

Taking a closer look at the Lu family courtyard, which had not caught his eye when he first entered the door, Eunuch Zheng was secretly surprised.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Although the building materials were not particularly expensive, the design and construction were elegant and unique, with a unique charm. The white walls and gray tiles, the windows were bright and clean. It was already winter, but there were many flowers in the yard that he didn't recognize, and the fragrance was overwhelming.

What was even more amazing was that while standing at the Lu family's house, Eunuch Zheng found that all the fatigue caused by the long journey in recent days was gone.

Even before entering the Lu family's house, he felt unbearable pain all over his body.

He was secretly surprised, thinking that Lu Ke'er was indeed a skilled doctor. He thought that the herbs planted in the hospital were all valuable and suitable for health preservation.

He immediately smiled, a smile that was much more sincere than before he entered the room. He nodded to Lu Tianning and praised, "Congratulations, Mr. Lu. The Lu family has raised a good daughter."

Although Lu Tianning didn't know why his attitude changed from stubborn to respectful, he didn't care. He still said some words of thanks in a humble manner and invited Eunuch Zheng to come in for a cup of hot tea.

Eunuch Zheng originally planned to leave after announcing the decree, but at this moment, he changed his mind and followed Lu Tianning through the yard and into the hall.

Before coming, he had learned from Fang Xingzheng that Lu Ke'er's father, Lu Tianning, had been paralyzed for many years and could not walk. At this moment, he saw Lu Tianning sitting on a strange chair, turning the wheels with both hands, and the wheelchair could move without anyone pushing it, which surprised him greatly.

"Your chair is very strange." He couldn't help saying, "I have never seen a movable chair in my family."

Lu Tianning replied respectfully, "You may not know, sir. This is called a wheelchair. It was designed by my daughter and then made by a craftsman. Not only can it be pushed, but the person sitting on it can also move the chair by themselves. For people like me who have difficulty walking, this thing is indeed very practical."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Zheng became even more curious: "I didn't expect that Miss Lu is not only proficient in medicine, but also so smart and extraordinary. It's admirable. To be honest with you, Master Lu, there is an old friend in my family who is old and frail and has difficulty walking. I wonder..."

Lu Tianning understood the elegant meaning of the music and glanced at Lu Keer.

Lu Keer smiled and nodded: "It's just a wheelchair. It's rare that your father-in-law likes it, so I will naturally do my best to satisfy your wish. However, it will take a few days to customize the wheelchair. I wonder if your father-in-law can wait?"

Eunuch Zheng had a time limit to come and announce the imperial edict. After completing the mission, he would usually set off to return to the capital as soon as possible to report.

Eunuch Zheng hesitated for a moment before answering, "No problem. Miss Lu, I'll leave you an address in Beijing later. Please send someone to deliver the wheelchair."

He finally realized that this little girl was the head of the Lu family.

Lu Ke'er's heart moved when she heard this.

It seems that this eunuch Zheng is interested in making friends with the Lu family. Otherwise, he would not have asked for a wheelchair, let alone left a contact address.

Although she didn't know what Eunuch Zheng's purpose was, he was also a favorite of the emperor. Based on the principle of one more friend means one more way, Lu Ke'er would treat him well.

Entering the hall, the host and the guest took their seats. Although Eunuch Zheng was a eunuch serving the emperor, he had no rank, so he took the initiative to sit on the left side of the first seat, and let Fang Xingzheng sit at the top. Lu Tianning, as the head of the family, sat on the right side to accompany him. Although Lu Ke'er was a little girl, as the protagonist of this event, she naturally took a seat.

After a while, Qiuyu and Qiushui came in gracefully carrying exquisite cakes and tea.

Eunuch Zheng was amazed when he saw the two girls were dignified, outstanding in appearance, and had the demeanor of ladies from a noble family. He often visited wealthy families in the capital, and even in the most prestigious families, such maids were rare.

"This is a homemade pastry. Please try it, sir." As the host of the Lu family, Lu Tianning warmly entertained the distinguished guests.

Eunuch Zheng smiled politely.

He went to the most famous pastry shop in the capital city quite often. However, he did not go there to buy pastries for himself, but to run errands for the masters of the imperial harem. He himself did not like to eat such sweet and sticky food.

But Fang Xingzheng's delighted voice rang out: "Oh, I have long admired Lu's pastries, and I didn't expect to have such a treat today."

This is the food that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praises highly.

Eunuch Zheng looked at the plate of cakes in front of him: each piece was as white as jade, and a layer of fine yellow osmanthus was sprinkled on the surface. The whole plate of cakes was filled with fragrance, which aroused his appetite.

He picked up a piece, put it in his mouth and ate it, his eyes lit up.

It was soft and fragrant, sweet but not greasy. Even though he usually didn't like sweets, he couldn't help but eat several pieces.

"What kind of pastry is this? This is the first time we have seen it." asked Eunuch Zheng.

Lu Ke'er replied, "This is called osmanthus cake. It is made of glutinous rice flour, sugar and honey osmanthus. This cake is easy for the human body to digest and absorb, and has the effect of replenishing the middle and replenishing qi. If you like it, Eunuch Zheng, take some back when you leave. However, this cake is not easy to keep for a long time, so you have to eat it as soon as possible."

After eating the osmanthus cake, Eunuch Zheng picked up the cup of tea in front of him.

The teacup is made of ordinary white porcelain, but the tea inside is bright red and transparent, with a strange fruity aroma wafting from it.

He took a sip.

It tastes sweet and sour, and your mouth will be filled with saliva and fragrance after drinking it.

He stared blankly at the tea in his hand.

In the capital, he had seen many kinds of famous and fine teas, but he had never been as impressed as the cup of tea in front of him.

"What kind of tea is this?" he asked.

"Passion fruit black tea." Lu Ke'er explained, "This tea is made by me. I boil passion fruit, lemon, rock sugar, black tea and water. This tea can stimulate the appetite, nourish the stomach and calm the mind. It is very beneficial to the body."

"Passion fruit? What kind of fruit is this?" Fang Xingzheng had never heard of this kind of fruit.

"A kind of fruit. A few months ago, I went up the mountain to pick wild fruits and accidentally discovered this fruit. This fruit can be eaten directly or used to make fruit tea. However, many local people do not know this fruit, so almost no one eats it." Lu Ke'er replied.

She was actually being conservative. In Qi Country, except for her, no one else knew this fruit.

Seeing that Eunuch Zheng and Fang Xingzheng were very curious, he asked Qiuyu to bring a few.

Eunuch Zheng and Fang Xing were looking at the passion fruit they had brought. They saw that the fruit was like a small ball with a purple-red skin. When they opened the shell, they found many small yellow seeds inside with a strong aroma. At first it smelled a bit like strawberry, then a bit like banana, but it seemed to have more than just these aromas.

"Passion fruit is called passion fruit because it exudes the rich aroma of bananas, pineapples, lemons, strawberries, peaches, pomegranates and other fruits." Lu Keer explained, "Moreover, passion fruit has a rich and sweet taste, is sweet and sour, and can quench thirst. It can not only refresh the mind, but also nourish the kidneys, eliminate fatigue, and help the body prevent diseases."

"I didn't expect that a small cup of fruit tea could contain so much knowledge. I have broadened my horizons today." Fang Xingzheng said with a smile.

Eunuch Zheng also sighed sincerely: "Miss Lu is intelligent, knowledgeable and talented. She can apply the magic of medicine to her daily diet. It is amazing."

"Eunuch Zheng, you are too kind. I just like cooking and think about food when I have nothing to do. I am not as smart as you say. Haha." Lu Ke'er was very humble and waved her hands repeatedly.

They sat and chatted for a while, then Eunuch Zheng stood up to say goodbye. Fang Xingzheng naturally left with him.

Lu Ke'er sent the two of them to the gate of the courtyard. When she opened the door, she was surprised to see a large group of people gathered at the gate.

Eunuch Zheng was also stunned.

When he came here, he and Fang Xingzheng took a horse carriage. After entering the village, he only saw a few villagers along the way.

When did so many people gather in front of the Lu family’s door?
