Chapter 34

Lu Feili's eyes swept over and fell on Ji Wan. He was a little surprised to find that it was only ten days ago that the little girl's complexion had improved a lot, and her skin color did not look as yellow as before. It seemed that the little girl was doing well during this period.

"If you make meritorious in the country, you don't need to be detained."

Zhou was surprised and subconsciously looked at the eldest daughter beside her.

Ji Wan's eyes were slightly stunned, as if she understood something.

That glove...

Lu Feili looked at the eunuch in blue beside him, raised his hand and pointed at Ji Wan, "That little girl is the glove she made."

The little eunuch immediately looked over and smiled.

"Ji Wan, a girl from Ji, knelt down and listened to the imperial edict."

Zhou hurriedly knelt down with his children, and the villagers watching the fun outside also knelt down at the prompt from the people brought by Lu Feili.

"By the will of heaven, the emperor ordered that the northern border was thousands of miles away, and the soldiers guarded the country and worked hard and made great contributions, but they suffered from severe cold and hardship. I feel sad. I have Ji Wan, the daughter of Ji's family in Yi Village, Dengxian County, was skillful and sewed gloves to keep warm. The three armies have given them a hundred taels of gold, ten pieces of jade jewelry, ten pieces of brocade, and fifty acres of fertile land. Tax exemption. I am here!"

All sounds disappeared without a trace.

The villagers of Yi Village were already shocked, and Ji Wan herself was also shocked. She felt that a pie fell from the sky and just hit her.

Lu Feili felt funny when he saw her stupid appearance.

"Your Majesty remembers that you have made merits, and the capital is far away, so you are willing to thank you without entering the palace."

After he reminded him, Zhou suddenly came back to his senses, pulled his daughter's sleeve, and knocked her head to the ground.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Ji Wan also hurriedly bowed and said, "My daughter Ji Wan thanked her, long live the Five Emperors."

After watching so many costume TV series, I still understand these words.

The father-in-law who announced the order asked the four little eunuchs to bring all the things they were holding. The cottage was simple, and Zhou was embarrassed to let a few people go in for tea. But if he didn't greet him, he seemed too rude and was in awkward and entangled. Lu Feili had already walked over first, "The only women, children and children in the Ji family are left. Please send the gifts given to the hall."

Everyone in the palace was full of nobles, and even ordinary nobles had to flatter him, but the father-in-law who announced the imperial edict was polite and almost flattering to Lu Feili. Zhou's mind suddenly had countless thoughts. That day, her daughter came back and said that the gloves fell on the mountain, but she had never cared about it. These days, everyone in the family only had one glove. She was worried that her children would get dirty, so she didn't let them wear it. However, she didn't expect that a glove would be favored by the generals of the Northern Frontier, and even alarmed the emperor's gift.

She led her children into the house, and was in trouble again, and there was no good tea hospitality at home.

The eunuch who announced the edict did not mean to stay. He directed the four small eunuchs to put down the things and bent down to respectfully say to Lu Feili: "After the edict is announced, the slave will take his leave first."

Lu Feili nodded.

"Father-in-law walked slowly."

This seemed to make the father-in-law a little flattered. He bent down at 90 degrees and retreated to the door before turning around and standing straight.

Ji Wan held his brother's hand tightly to prevent him from touching the golden ingots and silk, and his eyes kept falling on Lu Feili.

Lu Feili noticed the little girl's gaze and smiled.

"More than ten days ago, I sent your sisters to the town for medical treatment. Why did you forget so quickly?"

Zhou was about to ask about the identity of the people, but was shocked when he heard this and looked at his eldest daughter again.

Ji Rong was injured that day and was confused and didn't see who the stranger was in the carriage. After hearing this, he was stunned. He subconsciously leaned towards his sister and said timidly: "Sister..."

Ji Wan had already come back to her senses and lowered her eyes and said respectfully: "Thank you for your help from the young master. I am very grateful for the people. If there is any expulsion, I dare not refuse."

Lu Feili smiled again.

"You are a little girl, you can't carry your shoulders and pick them up. What can I drive you to do?"

You can't carry your shoulders and pick your hands. I have so many things I can do. Ji Wan complained in her heart, but of course, she was in awe on her face.

Lu Feili looked at the decoration inside the house, but he didn't dislike it. He had suffered all kinds of hardships and was always in difficult environments. The farmhouse was simple, and at least he could shelter from the wind and rain.

"You left in a hurry that day and forgot to take the money. I came today to deliver the money for your gloves."

He took out a hundred taels of silver notes from his arms.

Ji Wan said, "The soldiers stationed on the border, slept on the battlefield, and defended their country, so that we ordinary people can have peace. I am just a farmer girl, a little girl, and I can only keep the cold with gloves. I can do my best to help thousands of soldiers. This is a supreme honor in my life, and I dare not receive this honor."

She said this sincerely.

If there were no soldiers who sacrificed their lives and fought on the battlefield, how could the people have peace?

The little girl's eyes were sincere, and she was definitely not despising this mere hundred taels of silver because she got a hundred taels of gold. Lu Feili was stunned, and the two generals behind him were also shocked, and then her heart was inexplicably moved.

Lu Feili glanced at Zhou again.

"A gentleman's words are as good as a horse. Although it is a slap in your hands, it is as heavy as a thousand gold in the army. Even His Majesty praises you. If you don't accept it, you will seem like a dignified man, narrow-minded and stingy, and traitorous."

Ji Wan looked at him in shock.

Lu Feili smiled slightly, put the silver notes on the table, and said, "I want you to do a favor. I want to promote this glove to the three armies, and I need a large number of people who are proficient in female red sewing..."

Ji Wan was clear at a glance and immediately said: "Many women and girls in our village are good, so I can teach them to sew gloves."

“Very good.”

Lu Feili's face was calm, "I have bought a large amount of animal skins and brought them. If you distribute them, I will ask someone to pick up the goods every ten days. A pair of gloves costs five cents."

"I don't want wages."

Ji Wan had the idea of ​​selling gloves. But there were not enough raw materials, and the thing was so sophisticated but simple. Those who were familiar with the girl’s red could basically make it after careful study. She sold it herself, which was too risky.

But the emperor ordered the imperial edict and the glove was hers. No matter how imitated others, they could not match the reward of the emperor's golden mouth.

She could see that this person was helping her. Although she didn't understand why he did this, Ji Wan was grateful and refused to charge the labor fee.

The little girl is very arrogant, and Lu Feili doesn't say much anymore.

"General Zhang, aren't you here to thank your benefactor?"

He glanced at the two behind him with a faint glance.

General Zhang and Deputy General Lin came forward, bowed and said in unison: "Thank you, Miss Ji, for expelling the patients for us."

Ji Wan was startled and looked at the two of them for some reason.

Lu Feili explained: "General Zhang had a lot of abdominal pain, and Deputy General Lin suffered from a headache. After using the two prescriptions you gave me last time, he was cured."

Ji Wan suddenly realized and said, "I just read a few medical books. I dare not take it as the saint of Qihuang. The two generals are so serious."

It’s not that she is modest, but that the medical level of this era is too low.
