Chapter 131 Becoming Famous
Hearing that the young lady was from another place, Lu Yao had a guess in her mind.
"Her attendant is skilled in medicine, so he must be no ordinary noble."
Ye Jiayue's eyes showed worry. If the Shen family climbed up the ladder, would that be disadvantageous to Yaoyao and the others?
Having experienced imprisonment, the death of her grandparents, and the exile of her family for more than ten years, she would rather assume the greatest malice towards those in the Shen family than wish her family to be harmed again.
When Lu Yao heard that he knew medical skills, she was shocked: "Sister-in-law, did you hear what that person called?"
"It seems her name is...Ma Liu?" Ye Jiayue recalled what happened just now, and it seemed that the woman called her that way.
There is only one person in the original novel who knows medicine and is named Ma Liu. He is the son of the county magistrate. He has been interested in medicine since he was a child, so the county magistrate's wife decided to let him learn some medical knowledge. Unexpectedly, this person has some talent and is now a well-known doctor in Anhe County.
However, he was a servant in the county magistrate's family, so naturally he only took orders from the county magistrate. Others would come to the county magistrate for help when they needed it, which invisibly helped the county magistrate gain a lot of connections and relationships.
Therefore, Ma Liu's status in Majia is much higher than those illegitimate sons and daughters.
Anyone who could be followed by him personally must be a person of extraordinary status and position, and the woman could call Ma Liu by his name directly, so the answer to her identity was obvious.
Lu Yao unconsciously clenched her hands into fists.
Ma Baozhu!
Ma family!
In the book, Rong Yanhui and Lu Yao's family of four have a tragic ending. The Shen family and the Ma family have made great contributions with their good intentions.
Lu Yao took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions churning in her heart.
All along, she always thought that she understood the plot and that as long as she avoided some traps and dangers, she could sleep peacefully.
Although we knew before that the Child of Destiny was blessed with natural advantages, the plot has changed too much. They have long been two lines in different directions and will never intersect again. Therefore, the affairs of the Shen family will not have much impact on them.
But today, she wasn't so sure.
Shen Yaoming was assigned to such a remote mountain village, but he still met Miss Ma and became her savior. This shows the power of the plot, which cannot be changed by a vicious female supporting role like her.
Then, will the Ma family and... continue to harass their family as described in the book, using all kinds of means to make them suffer?
Her hands clenched tighter and tighter. Her neatly trimmed nails were not long, but they still left deep marks on her palms.
She would never allow that to happen!
"Yaoyao, what's wrong?"
Seeing Lu Yao's face becoming increasingly ugly, Ye Jiayue became worried. "Do you want to go to the back and rest for a while?"
They reacted like this just by seeing the people from the Shen family, which shows how difficult their lives were in the Shen family before.
The Shen family is a big trouble, but the current Rong family is not comparable to the impoverished Shen family. She decided to go back and talk to her father-in-law, and never let these people have any chance to hurt Yaoyao and her family!
Lu Yao smiled at Ye Jiayue, indicating that she was fine. "We need to learn more about the situation at the Shen family."
Uncle Rong had asked someone to inquire before, and the information he got was that they were behaving well in the village. Recently, everyone was busy with water wheels and scientific expeditions, and had ignored the Shen family.
Now that Shen Yaoming has established connections with the Ma family, based on his luck and means, he will surely slowly get back on track, and then rise to prominence and prosper.
And they...
No!
She would never allow the situation in the original book to happen!
She smiled at Ye Jiayue and Lan Xin: "Clean it up first, there's no rush for the rest."
The two of them were slightly relieved to see that she was in better condition, but they were also keeping an eye on Lu Yao's situation.
Lu Yao looked at the two of them with amusement and chuckled, "Don't worry, they are just strangers."
The same thing, as long as the other party doesn't rush to show off, they may still be able to live in peace, at least at this stage. If anyone is upset and comes to make her unhappy, she can make him unhappy.
At this time, another guest came, and they temporarily ended their conversation and went about their business.
As usual, around ten o'clock in the morning, all the ice jelly and braised food they prepared had been sold out, and they started to clean up.
They were all quick and efficient, and in just a short while, the operation room, lobby, tables and chairs were all cleaned up. They then went to the backyard to wash the dishes, chopsticks and spoons.
These days, they kept adding more bowls, but it was still not enough.
The bowls are not expensive. An ordinary rough bowl can be bought for a few copper coins, but a better one starts at at least one copper coin. Even so, Rong Ji did not buy cheap ones to save money, but spent a lot of money to buy good porcelain with a relatively smooth and white color.
Logically speaking, they bought a lot of bowls, and the amount sold every day was not much different, so there would be no shortage. However, this happened frequently. The reason was that many customers who came to buy ice jelly wanted to buy some back for their families to try, but because they did not bring containers, many people who were better off would choose to buy the bowls directly.
"I feel like our bowls are selling better than the shops that specialize in bowls," Lan Xin joked, "Why don't we just open a shop next door?"
Rong Ziyu also laughed and said, "It's not necessary for a shop, but it can be used as a shelf."
They sell as many bowls as they buy, and since they buy a lot, the grocery store owner gives them a discount.
In fact, it is slightly cheaper than buying it separately at the grocery store. For this reason, many people would rather spend an extra five cents to buy a bowl of ice jelly than buy a bowl at the grocery store.
When Lu Yao and others learned that some guests had such intentions, they were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Fortunately, the grocery store owner did not think that they were stealing his business. Instead, he made a small profit due to the increase in bowl sales. He was so grateful to Rong Ji that how could he not be happy?
After everything was packed up, the group closed the doors and windows, got on the carriage arranged by Zhang Wende, went to get the ordered materials, and then went straight back to Fushan Village.
As usual, they thanked the coachman and gave him some homemade pastries. The coachman quickly declined, saying that he was just following orders. How could he accept their things?
Lu Yao smiled and said, "This is just a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it. I'll be busy with you for a long time to come." She pushed the cake towards him again, "Actually, we have something else to trouble you with."
The coachman heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
As long as he has something to ask for, he will feel relieved.
but,
It depends on what the specific matter is.
Lu Yao did not hesitate and asked the other party to wait for a moment.
In the room, Ye Jiayue had already told Rong Bingwen the general idea of what had happened. After hearing it, the latter immediately wrote a letter.
The Shen family’s affairs cannot be taken lightly. We have to investigate what happened there first.
After writing the letter, Lu Yao also communicated with the coachman, who left Fushan Village with the letter and the prepared gifts.
After returning to the county government office, he went to see the master with the gifts and letters prepared by the Rong family.
Zhang Wende has been very busy with the water truck recently. Fortunately, although it is hard work, the rewards are gratifying.
Today, more than a dozen villages in the entire Xikang County have installed water wheels. With the water villages, the villagers' burdens have been instantly lightened a lot, and they are very grateful to the person who invented and manufactured the water wheels. Even he, the county magistrate, is more respected than before.
Under his special arrangement, after more than half a month of fermentation, the matter of the waterwheel has become known to everyone. Their Xikang County and the three families of Rong, Lu and Pu have all received commendations from the governor. According to the governor's intention, he will let the craftsmen come to learn and strive to benefit more people.
Moreover, the governor also specifically pointed out that he had made remarkable achievements and he would report them to the court truthfully. Perhaps he would be able to make further progress soon.
Zhang Wende seemed to have returned to the time when he first passed the imperial examination, full of vigor and ambition.
at the same time,
He felt a little regretful that he had wasted a lot of time over the years.
Among those exiled to Xikang County, there were both ruthless criminals and good officials who had been wrongly implicated. If he could make good use of these talented people, Xikang County would surely have a good development, and his official career would also...
He smiled self-deprecatingly. There is no medicine for regret in the world. Fortunately, he seized the opportunity and it was not too late.
While thinking about all sorts of things, he opened the envelope and read it carefully.
This was the first time the Rong family had sent a letter, and no one knew what the matter was.
The first thing that catches your eye is the vigorous and powerful characters written with the brush. It is obvious that such characters were not written by an extraordinary person.
He straightened his back unconsciously and his expression became serious. After reading the letter, his brows were furrowed.
The Shen family, didn’t he have someone arrange for them to be sent to the most remote place?
He immediately sent someone to inquire and arranged for a reliable confidant to investigate the situation, making sure to get to the bottom of it as soon as possible.
The Rong family is a great guarantee and help for him to continue to move forward, and he will never allow any potential danger to destroy the existing situation.
While Xikang County was undergoing large-scale construction, other places in Ganzhou also received news of the waterwheel, and even the students who went to the provincial capital to take part in the provincial examinations received the news.
After Rong Yuzhe, Rong Bing and Wu Mozhu arrived at the provincial capital, they found that many candidates had already arrived early, and the inns with suitable locations and reasonable prices were almost full.
Rong Bingwu felt a little annoyed. He should have done it earlier.
Rong Yuzhe doesn't think so.
Even if they arrive in advance, there are still more suitable rooms booked.
The group searched many inns before finally finding a suitable place to stay.
After settling down, Rong Yuzhe stayed in the room to review his homework, Rong Bingwu did not go anywhere but stayed by his side, while Mo Zhu went out to gather information and familiarize himself with the environment.
The three people had clear division of labor and quickly adapted to the current environment.
They have also heard about the outside world's evaluation of the waterwheel, and sometimes they go to the lobby to listen to the students' evaluation and discussion of the waterwheel.
but,
They all tacitly chose to remain silent, deciding to keep a low profile before any results were achieved, and resolutely not leave any opportunity for anyone to take advantage of them.
But privately, they were just as happy.
"This Zhang Wende is quite useful." Rong Bingwu still admired Zhang Wende's abilities.
Although this man has not made any great achievements, he has been able to manage Xikang County, a remote small county with a mixed crowd, into its current state in more than ten years. Compared with those corrupt officials who are truly incompetent and find ways to exploit the people, it is already quite difficult.
Rong Yuzhe nodded: "If he hadn't offended anyone, he would have been promoted or transferred long ago."
Generally speaking, officials would not serve in one place for several consecutive years, but Xikang County was well-known and almost no one was willing to come here. It just so happened that the people in the Ministry of Personnel wanted to give face to certain people, so they kept them here.
