Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

"Little girl, what's wrong with you?" the old woman said worriedly, "I called you several times just now, but you didn't respond."

"Sister, sister, are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Xi was extremely worried. "You were just in a daze just now."

Lu Ke'er soothed him softly, "I'm sorry, I was so absorbed in thinking just now that I made Xiaoxi worried."

Looking up, she met Ye Feng's puzzled yet concerned eyes. She smiled awkwardly, turned around, picked up the jade pendant in her hand and said to the old woman, "I want to buy this."

The old woman looked at the jade pendant in Lu Ke'er's hand and thought to herself that the girl had poor eyesight and the jade pendant was not of good quality. But she did not show it on her face and said with a smile, "The girl has a good eye. This jade pendant is ancient jade."

"how much is it?"

"Two taels, maybe."

"Two taels is a bit expensive. One tael is fine." Lu Ke'er didn't actually know the price of the jade, but she stuck to the principle of bargaining for half the price and negotiated with the old woman.

The old woman said in embarrassment: "Oh, you are really good at bargaining, little girl. Okay, considering this young man's talent, I will sell it to you at a low price."

Lu Ke'er's eyes widened.

No, what does her buying jade have to do with Ye Feng?

She glanced at Ye Feng, who took off his mask as soon as he entered the store, and thought to herself: It seems that Ye Feng's looks can be used as a coupon in front of this nearly 90-year-old grandmother.

Lu Ke'er raised her eyebrows, took out some silver and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman was delighted.

This jade pendant was bought for only a hundred coins, it's really worthless. But this silly girl spent one or two taels of silver to buy it. She made a lot of money.

If she knew that this jade pendant was the fundamental reason for her delayed aging, I wonder if she would not be so grateful and happy.

The old woman happily sent Lu Ke'er, who was also happy, out the door.

Walking out of the alley, Lu Ke'er smiled while holding the jade pendant.

The smile seemed to emanate from the depths of her heart, gradually spreading across her face, making her eyebrows and eyes seem to be dyed with a layer of bright color, bright and attractive.

Ye Feng stared at her, the corners of his lips raised in a graceful arc.

"So happy?"

"Yeah." Lu Ke'er raised the jade in her hand and said with a smile, "You know what? This jade is a treasure."

Just then she saw a small stall selling colorful silk threads on the street, so she walked over and bought a braided red rope to use as a hanging string for the jade pendant.

She passed the red string through the jade pendant and handed it to Ye Feng along with the string: "Here."

Ye Feng opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Is this for me?"

"You gave me your badge, so I have to return the favor." Seeing that Ye Feng was still reluctant to take it, Lu Ke'er simply tied a knot at the end of the rope and said to Ye Feng, "Bow your head."

Ye Feng lowered his head in a daze.

His neck felt cold, the red string was already hanging on it. The jade pendant was not heavy, but Ye Feng felt it was heavy on his neck.

"Although jade pendants are often hung on the waist, this jade pendant is not big, so it can also be used as a pendant." Lu Ke'er looked at the jade pendant hanging on Ye Feng's chest and nodded with satisfaction, "It's better to put this jade on your chest."

The chest is the part closest to the heart. If Ye Feng's fragile heart can be nourished by spiritual energy every day, it will be more beneficial to his body.

Ye Feng didn't know what he was thinking about, and his ears turned slightly red again.

He stuffed the jade pendant into his lapel in a panic, lowered his head slightly, and walked forward quickly.

"Hey, didn't we say we were going to the market? You're going in the wrong direction!" Lu Ke'er shouted.

Ye Feng paused, then quickly changed direction and walked forward with his head down.

"Sister, what happened to big brother?" Xiao Xi asked curiously when she saw Ye Feng's slightly embarrassed figure.

Lu Ke'er guessed uncertainly: "Are you so excited about receiving the gift that you lose your mind?"

But, it still feels strange.

A nobleman like him, who had seen all kinds of gifts, would care about such a seemingly ordinary piece of jade? Moreover, he did not know the value of this jade pendant.

…………

On the other side of the street, Chu Ying took Zuo Yi to a bookstore to buy books.

"I don't know why, sir, you suddenly said you wanted to read the Xilin County Annals today." Zuo Yi held the newly bought book with a melancholy look on his face, "Could this county annals help you find His Highness?"

Chu Ying glanced at Zuo Yi and said, "The master is an expert. Experts have their own wisdom. We should not ask too many questions and just do what the master says."

"His Highness has been missing for many days, and I don't know..." He suddenly paused.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Zuo Yi staring blankly in one direction of the street, Chu Ying also looked up.

There were crowds of people on the streets, shoulder to shoulder, it was very lively.

"I seem to see His Highness." Zuo Yi rubbed his eyes.

"where?"

"I just... I just saw His Highness holding a child, and there was a young girl beside him, the two of them were walking together... Strange, how come they disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

"Are you dreaming?" Chu Ying glanced at Zuo Yi with a strange expression, "How could His Highness be holding a child?"

Zuo Yi thought about it and agreed.

"Is it my imagination?" He shook his head, "But that figure and that posture really do look like His Highness."

"I think you are seeing things. Don't worry, sir, he said that His Highness will appear sooner or later. I believe you, sir."

……

The Xilin County Market is twice as large as the Lingxia Town Market. It sells not only a variety of agricultural products, but also a variety of livestock and poultry.

"Why did you think of coming to the market?" Lu Ke'er smelled the lingering stench in the air and frowned slightly, "It's best for children not to stay in this kind of environment for too long."

When the air is bad, various germs breed and are most likely to infect children.

"I don't think there's a carriage at home." Ye Feng said, "How about I go in and see if there's a horse? You take Xiao Xi and wait for me outside."

"You want to buy a carriage?"

"This way, it will be more convenient for my family to come to the county town."

Lu Keer glanced at him.

I guess this guy just did it on impulse. I thought he was very comfortable with the oxcart, but it seems that is not the case.

"You should take Xiaoxi and wait for me outside." She shook her head and smiled, "Why are you wearing a mask to watch the carriage?"

Ye Feng touched the mask on his face, feeling a little annoyed.

It seems that I will have to wear a human skin mask when I go to crowded places in the future.

Although it was a sudden idea, Lu Ke'er thought that Ye Feng's thinking was right. Sooner or later, the family would have to have a carriage. Why not take a look today and buy the right one if you find one?

In the northwest corner of the market there is a row of stables, inside which several horses are leisurely nibbling grass.

The man selling the horse was a middle-aged man with a tall stature, a high nose bridge, and dark skin. He was wearing the clothes of Wusha country, and it was obvious at first glance that he was a merchant from Wusha country.

"Uncle, how much do you sell your horses for?"

When the merchant saw that the person who came to inquire was a pretty little girl of only twelve or thirteen years old, he waved his hand in disdain: "Little girl, let your parents come!"

Lu Ke'er said: "Don't worry, uncle, I can make the decision myself."

The businessman looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. He found that although the girl was young, she was calm and composed, and her expression was generous. She must be used to making decisions at home, so he couldn't help but feel a little less contemptuous towards her.
