Outside the Ding family's old house, several villagers were busy with the finishing work of Huimin Hall. According to Jian Ning's wishes, the entire wooden house should be painted grass green. Jian Ning came out and saw that Carpenter Xu had already nailed the red-painted cross.
"Doctor Jian, take a look. Is it to your liking?" The taciturn Carpenter Xu saw her, raised his hand and greeted her with a smile on his face.
Jian Ning took a careful look at it and said with a smile, "Not bad, very good, just as I imagined."
She didn't like hearing everyone call her "Old Fourth Lady", so she asked everyone to call her Doctor Jian from now on. Carpenter Xu was the first one to take the lead in calling her that, and she was very happy to hear that.
It had been a long time since she heard anyone call her Dr. Jane. At first, it sounded quite friendly. She went over to take a look and saw that all the wooden floors in the wooden house were painted maroon.
Red and green are really a perfect match.
Anyway, Jane Ning liked it. The most important thing for a clinic is to look unique and different from the villagers' houses.
"Doctor Jian, why is this sign made into a cross?" Carpenter Xu still didn't quite understand. The sign was made according to Jian Ning's request.
Jian Ning had already thought of how to explain it. She said seriously, "I hope that every villager who comes here for treatment, regardless of gender, age, or illness, will be in great health after leaving, and live a perfect life after recovery."
"Excellent, very excellent, absolutely perfect." The old tutor came out accompanied by Ding Youtian and the village head and clan leader. He happened to hear Jian Ning's explanation of the cross. He looked at the square sign with a red cross on a white background, stroked his beard and smiled, "Just looking at it makes me feel comfortable and open. If I'm sick, I'll feel better. We should promote this throughout Dayan Kingdom, and every medical clinic should hang such a sign."
"Thank you for the compliment, Master." Jian Ning was not used to greeting, so she simply followed the man's example, clasping her fists and bowing to express her gratitude.
"Good, good, good!" The old tutor smiled so much that his eyebrows and eyes relaxed. "Doctor Jian is truly a man among women. This trip is worthwhile. However, I have to stay here for a few more days. Doctor Jian won't kick me out, right? Haha."
Jian Ning smiled and said, "How could that be? The Master is a distinguished guest who has come from afar. We cannot even invite him here. As long as the Master does not mind the humble house, you can stay for a long time."
"That's right, that's right. We can't even invite her." The head of the village and the clan leader nodded repeatedly. They all felt that the fourth brother's daughter-in-law brought honor to the whole village. Why didn't they realize that the fourth brother's daughter-in-law was so eloquent before?
"Master Huo is from the capital. He's a man of great learning and knows all about farming! We'll take him around the fields. You can go about your business. He'll be with us, so don't worry."
The village head said to Jian Ning and Carpenter Xu.
Now, these two old men have great respect for learned people, especially the old tutor, who is so knowledgeable and talented that he is even familiar with all the work in the fields, including all kinds of vegetables, fruits, and melons. He is probably an ancient agricultural scientist who was delayed by the royal tutor.
Ding Youtian smiled secretly. While copying the characters for hybrid crops from simplified to traditional Chinese, he also learned from Jian Ning what an agricultural scientist was. If the head of the village and the clan leader knew the true identity of the tutor, their legs would probably tremble.
This is the teacher of the current prince.
After they left, Jane Ning also went to the trap in the back mountain to collect prey. If the harvest was not big, she planned to use a drone to catch a wild boar or antelope in the mountains.
She arrived at the back mountain, and Ding Youwang also arrived at the town government office. He walked back and forth outside the town government office several times, looking around, but did not dare to go in to inquire.
Finally, he gathered his sleeves and squatted down beside the teahouse opposite.
Let’s just wait. Lao Wu will come out soon and we’ll see.
He waited until noon. The bowl of vegetable porridge he drank before coming had long been digested. He waited until his mouth was dry and his stomach was rumbling. He didn't wait for Lao Wu to come out, but waited for Ding Pingshun to come.
Ding Pingshun carried the unsold vegetables to Old Qin's shop, which was also the house Jian Ning and Ding Youtian had bought in town. Jian Ning didn't have the money to convert it into a teahouse, and Blind Liu hadn't returned yet, so the shop was left empty for now. She had originally planned to take turns with Tian and Chang to come to town to cook for Dabao and the others, but Ding Pingshun had Chang tell Jian Ning that since he had to come to town every day to deliver and sell vegetables anyway, to save them the trouble of running back and forth, why not take the trouble to cook lunch for Dabao and the others?
Chang thought about it and it made sense. Her husband's cooking skills were better than hers. When she mentioned it to Jane Ning, she readily agreed. She also knew that Ding Pingshun could cook, so this really saved them the trouble of running back and forth.
"Brother Youwang, what are you doing squatting here?" He passed by and saw Ding Youwang. They were from the same village, so he stepped forward and greeted him.
"My father sent me to pick up Lao Wu. He's coming out today."
"Oh, it's been quite a while. Then why don't you go in and ask around? Why are you just waiting here?" Ding Pingshun saw that he looked like he had been waiting for a long time.
He glanced at Ding Pingshun sideways and said nothing.
Ding Pingshun understood. He didn't dare to go in and ask. He didn't dare to do that in the past. Who among the common people would dare to go into the town government office for no reason?
But things were different now. He had been selling vegetables in town for about a month, and every day he went to Zhang Mazi's restaurant to deliver vegetables. He had come into contact with more people, and he had become a little bolder. He also wanted to show off to Ding Youwang that he was braver than him. He nodded and said, "Come on, follow me. I'll take you in and ask what you're doing here."
He had just led Ding Youwang into the town hall when a clerk came out with his hands behind his back. Seeing this, he shouted, "What are you doing? Why are you barging in here with a load on your shoulders?"
Ding Youwang's legs were so weak from fear that he almost wanted to run away. Ding Pingshun was also weak, but for the sake of face, he forced himself to remain calm, put down his carrying pole, bent over and said with a smile: "Sir, we are here to inquire about Lao Wu, oh no, to inquire about Ding Youli. He was brought here a few days ago, and it's time to release him today."
