Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

Lei Zhengzheng was standing in front of the crowd. When he saw Eunuch Zheng and Fang Xingzheng coming out, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully to them: "Lei Zheng from Lingxia Village greets you two adults."

"Lei Lizheng, what's going on?" Fang Xingzheng glanced at the people gathered behind Lei Zheng and asked.

The man inside replied awkwardly, "I hope you can forgive me. These people are all villagers from this village. They heard that a high official had come from the capital, so they came to take a look."

Lu Ke'er suddenly wanted to laugh.

It seems that people coming from the capital are as rare as rare animals in the zoo in the eyes of the villagers.

She couldn't help but think of the days when Ye Feng first came to the Lu family. It seemed that there were people coming to the house every day, almost without interruption from morning to night.

Eunuch Zheng's expression froze.

Why does this sound a bit awkward?

Fang Xingzheng laughed loudly and said to Eunuch Zheng, "Don't be surprised, the villagers are simple and hospitable by nature. Lingxia Village is located in a remote area, and there are very few distinguished guests visiting normally. Today, when they heard that someone from the capital was coming, they naturally came to take a look."

Seeing Fang Xingzheng's friendly attitude, some villagers became bolder and asked loudly, "May I ask what brings you to the Lu family?"

"Yes, yes. Are you here to seek medical treatment from the Lu family?"

People were speculating and talking about it.

Fang Xingzheng bowed in the direction of the capital and explained to everyone with a smile: "Miss Lu has made great contributions to the treatment of the epidemic and has been rewarded by the emperor. This eunuch Zheng is the nobleman from the capital who came to announce the decree."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The crowd went wild.

"Oh my god, the Lu family's ancestral graves are smoking. This is a reward from the emperor."

"Girl Ke'er has finally flown to the top of the tree and become a phoenix."

"In my opinion, this is also the glory of our Lingxia Village. Who in the future will not know about our Lingxia Village?"

"That's right. I think in the future the boys and girls in our Lingxia Village will no longer have trouble finding a husband."

"No wonder I saw boxes of items being moved into the Lu family. It turned out that they were awarded to Miss Lu by His Majesty."

"The Lu family has finally become prosperous and has leapt into the upper class."

"When Ke'er gets married in the future, she will definitely marry into a wealthy family. Not to mention the surrounding villages, there are only a handful of girls in the world who can be awarded by the emperor himself."

Most people envy and admire him, but few are jealous.

They have deeply understood a truth: when the difference in strength is too great, there is no reason to be jealous.

At Jinfeng's house next door, Jinfeng was hiding behind the door and eavesdropping on everyone's discussions and conversations.

The more I listened, the more unwilling and resentful I felt, and at the same time, I felt deeply jealous.

She pulled hard at a handkerchief in her hand, wishing she could tear it into pieces.

Ma Dani glared at her coldly and cursed, "What a disgrace! What are you doing here? Have you finished your housework?"

"Mom, I am your biological daughter!" Jin Feng couldn't understand why her mother, who doted on her in every way in the past, had become so cold to her now.

"Oh, you still know that I am your real mother?" Ma Dani said sarcastically, "Don't compare yourself to others. Go and wash these vegetables."

"Mom, I'm going to marry Brother Su next year. Brother Su will pass the imperial examination sooner or later. I'll be his wife in the future."

"so what?"

"I can't do this kind of rough work too much. Otherwise, my hands will become rough and people will laugh at me."

Ma Dani was so angry that she fell backwards.

"What's wrong? Now that you're engaged to the Su family, your mother can't order you around anymore? Look at Ke'er. She's pretty and capable, and she doesn't do nothing in the Lu family."

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as she mentioned Lu Ke'er, Jin Feng felt even more upset.

"Mother, the Lu family already has maids, does she still need to work? If you really love your daughter, buy a maid to help her share some of the housework."

"Buy a maid?" Ma Dani asked angrily, "You'll pay?"

Jin Feng choked.

"Don't you know? Everything the Lu family has now was earned by this little girl Lu Ke'er. She is capable. Not only is she proficient in medicine, but she is also good at cooking. She makes friends with noble people. If you really want to learn from her, then make yourself more capable! Don't just think about relying on your parents all day long!"

Jin Feng was speechless. Her pretty face turned pale and blue.

Outside the Lu family's door, Lu Ke'er saw off Eunuch Zheng, Fang Xingzheng and others, and then invited the head of the village into the house.

Lei Zheng waved his hand: "No. Your family is busy today, so I won't come to make trouble. Ke'er, if you have any problems in the future, just let me know."

After that, he waved to the crowd and said, "The distinguished guest has left, so everyone should go home. Go do what you need to do."

Everyone was still not satisfied and left while talking.

Soon, only Lu Keer and Lei Zheng were left at the Lu family's door. Lu Keer stopped Lei Zheng, who was about to leave, and said, "Uncle Lizheng, don't leave in a hurry. I just want to discuss something with you. Our Lu family is planning to hold a three-day banquet in the village. First, we want to thank the villagers for their care for our Lu family, and second, we want to celebrate with everyone. What do you think, Uncle Lizheng?"

Lei Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "Even after becoming rich, they still remember their fellow villagers. The Lu family is kind and righteous. Don't worry, Ke'er, I'll take care of this matter."

Lu Ke'er immediately took out the silver and handed it to Lei Zheng: "Uncle Lizheng, this is fifty taels of silver. I will entrust you with all your powers. Thank you for your concern."

Lei Zheng refused and said, "Leave it to me, don't worry. But I don't need so much money."

He was telling the truth. Fifty taels of silver could buy a house in the county town.

Lu Ke'er stuffed it into his pocket without further ado: "Fifty taels is not a lot. The dishes should be as diverse as possible, the quality should be improved, and the quantity should be guaranteed. In addition, Uncle Guang can't handle it alone, so he has to hire some people to help. The labor fee is also included in it. If there is any surplus, it will be considered as Uncle's hard work fee. If it's not enough, just tell me and I will make up for it."

Seeing that Lu Ke'er had considered every aspect, Lei Zheng had no choice but to accept it: "Okay, uncle will take the money first. I will definitely take care of it for you."

"After the spring, I want to hire some people to help me reclaim the mountains, forests and fields. Can you please recommend some special people to me?"

The village head was shocked: "How much do you need?"

Lu Ke'er thought of the villa under construction and the newly awarded forest and farmland, all of which were within the territory of Xilin County. What's more, most of the forests were at the foot of Jinji Mountain. There were abundant wild animals and plants there, which was a natural treasure house. Most of the farmland was on both sides of Cangyun River and its tributaries. Lu Ke'er was very satisfied with this and decided to make good use of these resources after the spring.

"Let's recruit a hundred people first." She estimated in her mind and gave a number.

The head of the village was shocked: "This... so many?"

Lu Keer nodded: "Maybe more will be needed in the future."

The two talked for a while before the village head said goodbye and left.

………………

As soon as Eunuch Zheng and Fang Xingzheng's carriage drove out of the village and turned a corner, they saw a carriage parked on the side of the road.

The carriage was of ordinary style, without gorgeous decorations, but Eunuch Zheng noticed that the horses pulling the carriage were actually two fine horses from Dayuan, so he couldn't help but take a closer look.

In front of the carriage stood two guards in brocade clothes and carrying swords. Aren’t they Chu Ying and Chu Xiong?
