The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

Xiu Luoran returned home and asked Cheng Mama and Mochou to wash their faces first, applied medicine to them, and asked them to rest. Then she went to the kitchen to arrange the braised meat.

Mochou was very happy and said that her face didn't hurt so much anymore and she wanted to go to the kitchen to help. Xiu Luoran agreed.

Xiu Luoran came to find Xiu Lingce:

"Brother, I beat Chu Zhengliang."

Xiu Lingce's face turned cold: "Why, did he bully you?"

"No, he wants to rob Mochou. Brother, did I cause you trouble?"

Xiu Lingce's expression finally relaxed:

"It's okay, just hit me."

"His father is a higher official than our father."

"Don't worry about that. Luoluo, remember, no matter who bullies you, you must fight back hard and never let yourself be wronged."

My sister is not a reckless person. Anyone she hits must deserve to be hit. People in the Xiu family are not meant to be bullied.

Xiu Luoran nodded happily. This is what it feels like to have someone backing you up, right? It's great.

"Brother, can we eat crabs here?"

Xiu Lingce was stunned: "What is a crab?"

Xiu Luoran took the paper and pen and drew a crab:

"That's it."

Xiu Lingce looked at it again and again. He seemed to have never seen this thing before. It looked a bit like a spider:

"This... we need to go up the mountain to catch it, right? Is it poisonous?"

Xiu Luoran smiled: "Brother, crabs live in water. They can be found in rivers and seas. They are delicious and not poisonous."

Xiu Lingce asked again: "There is no meat on this thing, what does it eat?"

"It has meat, but less meat. It's delicious. Now is the season for eating crabs."

Xiu Lingce couldn't imagine that this thing covered with claws would be delicious.

Seeing Xiu Luoran looking a little disappointed, Xiu Lingce asked:

"Do you want to eat this?"

"Yes I do."

She likes eating seafood very much.

Xiu Lingce called the servant beside him:

"Go to the stable and call He Wan, who feeds the horses."

When He Wan arrived, Xiu Lingce showed him the crab picture:

"Any idea where I can catch this?"

He Wan nodded: "I know, Master. Do you want to catch the big one or the small one?"

Xiu Lingce looked at Xiu Luoran, and Xiu Luoran said:

"Let's catch the big ones. Where should we catch them? Is it far from the city?"

"Not far, just a few miles from the west gate."

Xiu Luoran ordered: "Call three or four servants, bring more baskets and crates, and try to catch as many as you can.

You guys drive the donkey cart, and I'll ride on horseback to catch up with you later."

"Okay, miss."

He Wan went out, and Xiu Lingce said:

"This He Wan, besides being a good horse feeder, is also very good at catching fish. When he goes out to fish, he rarely comes back empty-handed, and always comes back with a catch.

Although he doesn't catch the crabs you mentioned, he often goes around and down to the river beach, so he should know where these things are. "

It turned out to be the case.

"Brother, come to me and I'll take off the plaster on your leg."

"well."

The plaster was removed, Xiu Luoran felt Xiu Lingce's pulse and looked at his wound:

"Brother, your leg has recovered very well. From today on, you will start rehabilitation.

Don't be afraid of pain, but don't be too aggressive, take it slow.

Judging from the current situation, you will be able to walk briskly in less than two months."

Xiu Lingce: “Really?”

Xiu Luoran smiled: "Really."

"Okay, great."

"Brother, don't worry. If it breaks again, it will be very troublesome."

"I see."

"You just come to me every day for rehabilitation. I'll make you a form for how long it will take and how to do it. Just follow my instructions."

"it is good."

"You can trust Mochou, but be careful of your servant. He has just been with you for a short time, and his character needs to be observed."

"I see."

"Brother, I'm going to the river to watch them catch crabs. You stay here with me for a quarter of an hour before leaving."

"it is good."

Xiu Luoran put on his backpack, left the house, rode his horse and headed straight for the west city gate.

It seems that Yuan Ling's propaganda work was done very well. When Xiu Luoran rode his horse galloping on the street, the people who heard the sound of horse hooves and phoenix bells automatically walked to the side.

Xiu Luoran could ride a horse without any obstruction and could run as fast as he wanted.

At an intersection, Xiu Luoran saw Yuan Ling standing there with a group of people.

Xiu Luoran got off the horse. Yuan Ling saw him and ran over quickly:

"Miss Xiu, I have lived up to your expectations. After this road is built, all the streets in our capital, Jiudi City, will be completed. It will be built completely according to your requirements.

There are more than 1,600 taels of silver left, all here."

There should be a lot of roads in Jiudi City, so why did it only cost more than 8,000 taels to build them all?

Firstly, labor is cheap, and secondly, sand and stone are free and can be dug directly from the mountain.

Thirdly, the project is simple and does not require digging the foundation. Just build on the original road, widen both sides by one and a half meters, cover with sand and gravel, and compact it with a small amount of soil.

Xiu Luoran looked at the banknote that Yuan Ling handed over, but she didn't take it:

"Master Yuan, you did a good job.

Don’t you have a list of all the people who took part in the road construction?

Now that the road has been repaired, your Ministry of Revenue, in the name of the emperor, will give them two pounds of meat each so that they can also make up for their losses.

If they don’t want meat, you can give them rice and flour of equivalent value, but it will be more troublesome for you to distribute it.”

Upon hearing Xiu Luoran's arrangement, Yuan Ling was very excited. Miss Xiu was using her own money to buy things for their Ministry of Revenue in front of the Emperor.

The heads of the Ministry of Revenue were happy because they knew they would have a chance of promotion, so why would they be afraid of trouble?

"Miss Xiu, it's not a bother, it's my duty."

Xiu Luoran added: "It won't cost much to buy meat and noodles. The remaining money can be used to reward the yamen runners and supervisors. They have also worked very hard."

"I understand."

After Xiu Luoran made all the arrangements, he rode away on horseback.

Yuan Ling was also a smart man. He used the 1,600 taels to take care of all the people involved in the road construction, including those directing the work and those supervising it, and made them all happy.

The worker took the meat, knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live" three times, then went home happily.

In fact, many people in the Ministry of Revenue and the Jingzhao Yin Yamen knew that the money for road construction was paid by the eldest daughter of the Xiu family.

However, the fact that Yuan Ling could blatantly distribute benefits to everyone in the name of the Emperor and the Ministry of Revenue showed that he had obtained Miss Xiu's consent.

Look at what they did. They didn’t spend a penny, but they got the thumbs up from everyone.

What is a capable person? This is a capable person. In the future, we should spend more time with him and learn from him.

Through this incident, Yuan Ling was able to gain a firm foothold in the capital.

He remembered Xiu Luoran's help to him.

The horse was fast and the road was short, and in the blink of an eye Xiu Luoran arrived at the river.

Because this river is not far from the west gate of the capital, people call it "Ximen River".

When Xiu Luoran found He Wan, they had already filled the baskets and crates they brought with them, and were putting the caught crabs into a torn bag.

Xiu Luoran took a look and was surprised to find that the crab was quite large and fat, weighing at least five or six taels.

Xiu Luoran was so happy that he wanted to go into the water and catch it.

"Miss, there are too many here, and the bags we brought are full."

Xiu Luoran said: "Then go back, I'll leave first."

Xiu Luoran rode his horse towards the city.

As soon as she entered the city, she heard a heart-wrenching voice shouting:

"Master, master, please bear with me. I will go find a doctor right away."

The sound is not too loud, but it makes people feel sad

The sound came from an ordinary small house. Xiu Luoran got off the horse and walked towards the house.
