I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: The Little Village Girl Is Cute

“Do you have a judgment?” Ying Zhefeng asked.

“My lord, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?” After taking her pulse, she took a step back and bowed slightly.

When she said this, Chen Guangliang’s temples throbbed.

Behind the curtain, Ying Zhefeng’s face was as dark as dark clouds. He clenched his fists. “Of course, it’s the truth.”

Beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she chose her words carefully. “In that case, please forgive my rudeness.”

She didn’t even look at it before talking about conditions. Bai Caoshi could be considered a brave doctor whom Ying Zhefeng had met.

“Speak!!”

“My lord, the tongue is the seedling of the heart, and the spleen is the opening of the mouth. From the perspective of dialectical medicine, I guess other doctors must start by strengthening the spleen. Or some doctors will instruct you to relax your mind and eliminate your worries. Eat delicious food and chew more.”

Chen Guangliang wiped his sweat with his sleeve. It was the truth. After the imperial doctors took a look, weren’t they all prescribing medicine to strengthen the spleen? Occasionally, there would be one or two people who were quite upright, so they gave some medical advice.

Bai Caoshi continued, “I see that you have a hidden kidney deficiency. You have to treat your kidneys at the same time and restrict your daily behavior.”

Everyone in the wealthy circle in Yanjing knew that the Edge King had two pursuits in his life. Firstly, he wanted to be a restaurant guest and satisfy his appetite. Secondly, he pursued beauty.

It would be strange if his kidneys were not weak!

Bai Caoshi was also a warning to him in advance to prevent him from having bad thoughts about her in the original novel.

She heard the crunching of teeth, followed by a hearty laugh that sent chills down her spine.

“Then, can it be cured?”

Bai Caoshi quoted the words of a divine doctor, “In this world, there is no incurable disease but unknown disease.”

She was very confident.

This kind of emotion could affect others, including the Edge King. “Then prescribe the medicine.”

Bai Caoshi nodded and said apologetically, “My lord, I don’t know how to write. Please record it for me. Sweetflag, Baizhi, Poria, dried tangerine peel, peach kernel, red flower, Liu Jinu, Ginseng that will promote blood circulation…”

Ying Zhefeng lifted the curtains of the bed and looked at the small figure in front of him. “Yesterday, I ate the food you made. It suited my taste very well. I think it’s probably because those chefs aren’t as attentive as you. Pack up and return to the Yan Capital with me. In the future, you’ll enjoy endless wealth and glory.”

Bai Caoshi: “…”

The original owner of this body relied on her looks, while she relied on her talent. She had conquered this Yanjing gourmand with her cooking skills.

Bai Caoshi stepped back again. “My lord, I’m just a small village girl. I don’t know the etiquette of a rich family, and I don’t have the fortune to do so. I can only stay in this mountain village.”

Ying Zhefeng chuckled. Was she belittling herself now? Where was the arrogance she had when she was about to treat his kidney deficiency? “I’ve always been clear about rewards and punishments. You’ve done a good job cooking, so I naturally have to reward you. Otherwise, how would outsiders look at me? Tell me what you want.”

Bai Caoshi knew that rejecting a big shot was equivalent to losing their face. How could a big shot not care about his face? However, asking for rewards was also an art. What should she do? She had it. “Replying to my lord, I plan to raise ducks and geese to escape poverty and become rich. Please bestow me with a hundred ducklings.”

She looked so inexperienced. Ying Zhefeng shouldn’t be interested in taking her away, right?

“A hundred… ducks?” This was the first time Ying Zhefeng heard someone asking for a reward. Didn’t she come up with poems easily yesterday? Was she going to raise ducks and geese today?

Ying Zhefeng didn’t know that there was a term called “contrastive cuteness”, but at this moment, he felt that the little village girl was interesting.

The first person to give him a full meal in three years;

The first person who dared to ask him to treat his kidney deficiency;

The first person to ask him for a hundred ducks.

And it was a woman!

Seeing that he was silent, she secretly stretched out ten fingers. “Or ten ducklings will do.”

This time, even Chen Guangliang could not help but laugh.

The heavy atmosphere in the room disappeared.

“I’ll buy you the ducklings, but I’m not a petty person. I have a big gift for you.”

When Ying Zhefeng was happy, he forgot to hide his identity and directly called himself this king. “Chen Guangliang.”

Chen Guangliang walked to the door and shouted, “Bring him up.”

Then, two guards came in with four hooligans. All four of them knelt on the ground. They were the four who bullied Bai Caoshi yesterday.

The guard punched and kicked, and his punches pierced into their flesh. In a moment, the four of them were bruised and swollen.

Bai Caoshi was trembling in fear. It was a little disgusting at the end. She could not stand it anymore.

“My lord, I have no enmity with them, but they harmed me. I want to know who the mastermind is.”

As expected, the guards stopped. The hooligans’ faces were swollen as they kowtowed. “Reporting to my lord, Minister Wang in town asked us to do it.”

Councillor Wang of Changgou Town is a family member of her former sister-in-law.
