The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 161 Seeing Lu Jinkang Again ([-])
Lu Jinkang picked up the bowl in front of him and drank it down, but his eyes followed Su Yunduo's leaving back, and he took a while to look away.

Maybe the medicine was really bitter, Lu Jinkang frowned instantly when he came back to his senses, Jiuer handed over the mouthwash graciously, and the bitter taste in his mouth eased a little after a long time.

He stared displeasedly at the old doctor who was obviously watching him while he was stroking his beard. Hearing the old doctor's laughter, Lu Jinkang's slowly relaxed brows couldn't help but tighten again.

After growing up so big, the young master still hates drinking medicine so much!
The old doctor stopped laughing and shook his head, put aside the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, and asked Lu Jinkang the purpose of this trip: "Didn't the Holy Majesty arrange an errand for you in Beijing, how could you agree to go out of Beijing again?"

Although this person is not so happy with the son of the Duke of Zhen, he is the most beloved nephew of the concubine Zhen, and the most beloved grandson of the Duke and Mrs. Guo. If it is not for keeping him in the capital, the Holy Majesty will not Babadi arranged an errand for him years ago.

Although the grade of that errand is not high, it is a position that makes countless people of the same age envy and covet, which reflects the Holy Majesty's love for Lu Jinkang.

"Didn't I come here specially to congratulate you on being on the beam! Not to mention grandfather, even the Holy Father has to give you two thin noodles." Lu Jinkang lazily leaned back in his chair, raised his eyebrows and said.

The old doctor curled his lips disapprovingly, although he did have a piece or two in the heart of the current Holy Majesty because of his meritorious service in saving the crown prince, but this little bit of noodles is not enough to make Lu Jinkang rush thousands of miles just to come to congratulate him, ghosts letter!

Lu Jinkang just wanted to tease the old man in front of him. Naturally, he came to Geshan Village not only for such a trivial matter. He was able to leave Beijing this time, so there was naturally a reason for him to leave Beijing.

The Ministry of War has conducted a comparative test on all the saltpeter he found all the way to Yanshan Mansion years ago, and confirmed that the saltpeter from Xiushui County is the most suitable. No, after he got the news, he spent almost half a month at Shengshang's place to get it. Now this errand.

On the day when I got the consent of the Holy One, I just received a letter from the old doctor, informing me of the last time when the hot spring villa was put on the beam.

Although the time was a bit rushed, Lu Jinkang traveled day and night, even if he was unwell, he still didn't rest, at least he caught up with him.This was a surprise for him to the old doctor.

Of course, the surprise he brought to the old doctor was not only his personal arrival, he also brought congratulatory gifts from the Holy Majesty and the Duke of Zhenguo, that is the supreme honor for the old doctor.

It's just that it was a bit late when I received the old doctor's letter, and the congratulatory gifts from the Holy Majesty and the Zhen Guo Mansion were still on the way, so it took seven or eight days to reach Geshan Village.

The Holy Majesty's congratulatory gift is a plaque, which is the four characters "Shenquan Villa" written by the Holy Majesty himself. As for why it is Shenquan Villa, you have to ask the old doctor, that is the name of the village chosen by the old doctor early in the morning. The purpose of sending the letter back was to ask for the calligraphy of Lord Zhen Guo, but it turned out to be the handwriting of the Holy Majesty in the end.

The congratulatory gift of the Zhen Guogong Mansion is a pair of mighty stone lions, which will be placed at the gate of Shenquan Villa.

Lu Jinkang also has a separate congratulatory gift, which is a pair of town house jade Pixiu, which are being placed in the main courtyard just now.

"The Holy Majesty really wants to mine in the depths of Yanshan Mountain, will it affect the ecology here?" The old doctor squinted his eyes and looked at the mountains in the distance behind the mountain, with a slightly worried expression.

"The saltpeter mine is only fifty miles away from here at most. Although there are many mountains separating it, it is impossible to say that there will be no impact. I will communicate with the adults of the Ministry of Industry to minimize the impact on this place." Lu Jinkang expressed the old doctor's concerns. Seeing it in his eyes, he suppressed some thoughts in his heart and gave a slightly vague answer.

The old doctor watched Lu Jinkang grow up, so even if he couldn't guess 100% of his thoughts, he could always figure it out.

It seems that when this kid comes out this time, he has quite a lot of authority.

"You don't want to go in and out from here, do you?" The old doctor stared at Lu Jinkang, not ignoring any changes on his face.

Lu Jinkang really thought so in his heart.

Although he didn't live in Geshan Village for a long time last year, it took about a month from the first time he came to Geshan Village to the time he left. He liked this small mountain village with beautiful mountains and rivers very much, but he hated the traffic here. The road is connected to the official road, but the narrow country road is really inconvenient!

He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of mineral development and benefit Geshan Village by the way, but he didn't think about the possible ecological problems.

But coming here this time opened his eyes. Although the road from Geshan Village to Guandao has not improved much, at least it is no longer difficult for two carriages to go wrong.

The improvement of this road must have a great relationship with the construction site of Shan'ao.

Lu Jinkang thought it right. In order to allow the building materials of the villa to enter and exit smoothly, Su Yunduo made a suggestion to the old doctor to appropriately widen the roads from Geshan Village to the outside. Although it cost some money, the old doctor won over the people of Geshan Village Loved and loved, the old doctor has become the most respected old man in Geshan Village alongside the seventh uncle.

"Don't be self-defeating, that girl is not easy to fool." The old doctor stopped, no matter whether Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo had any results, at least he didn't want to see a rift between the two at the beginning of their cooperation.

"What does this have to do with Miss Su?" Lu Jinkang's ears were slightly hot again, but his mouth was hard.

"There is not only one way to help Geshan Village. When our medicinal herb garden grows, it will naturally drive Geshan Village to prosper too. Why bother to force the import and export of minerals to Geshan Village?" The old doctor glanced at Lu Jinkang. Said lightly.

Well, what the old guy said is very reasonable. In fact, he is also hesitant in his heart. After all, if the import and export of minerals is really brought here, it will not only increase the investment cost, but Geshan Village may lose this opportunity in the near future while developing. Unique mountains and rivers.

Lu Jinkang didn't want to continue discussing this issue, remembering that just now Su Yunduo asked one master at a time, "Have you accepted her as an apprentice?"

"The old man never planned to accept a female disciple. It's not because the girl has a thick skin. Even if the old man is angry, she still refuses to change her words, saying that she will be a teacher for one day and a father for life. If I knew it was so difficult, I shouldn't have replaced her that day. Solve the confusion!" Speaking of Su Yunduo's address to him, the old doctor was both complacent and annoyed.

Lu Jinkang twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he pursed his lips and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

He wanted to suggest that the old doctor accept Su Yunduo as his apprentice, fearing that the old doctor would make a mistake, and he knew why the old doctor didn't accept female disciples, so he thought about it and decided not to.
