"Master Magistrate?" Chu Yue was confused.
Lu Xinghe hummed, "The former magistrate of Yuezhou was Jiang Qingwan's biological father, but now he is an inspector."
Chu Yue understood, and her previous doubts about Jiang Qingwan's life experience were suddenly cleared up.
It turns out that she is the daughter of the prefect!
But with such a powerful father, why did she marry to Nanping Town?
Seemingly knowing the doubts in Chu Yue's heart, Lu Xinghe added, "When Jiang Qingwan and Huang Yuanwai got married, her father was a fifth-grade county magistrate. Huang Yuanwai went to his house to pay homage and met Jiang Qingwan by chance. , the two fell in love at first sight, and Mr. Jiang agreed to marry him because he admired Huang Yuanwai."
Chu Yue nodded, "Then Mr. Jiang is quite open-minded. Aunt Jiang is married to Mr. Huang and her life is really good."
Lu Xinghe hummed.
Chu Yue seemed to have thought of something and quickly looked at Lu Xinghe, "Then why didn't Mr. Jiang let Mr. Huang become an official in the first place?"
Lu Xinghe said slowly, "After Huang Yuanwai passed the exam, he was going to continue to take the exam. Everyone had already gone to the capital and signed up, but when he heard that Mrs. Huang was seriously ill, he ignored the situation at the time and went straight to the exam. After returning home, Mrs. Huang recovered from her illness and went through pregnancy and childbirth. He originally thought about finding a job as a juren, but he wanted to continue the scientific examination after the family situation stabilized, but he was suppressed by the prefect. .”
Chu Yue blinked, "This is good, why suppress it?"
"The place where Huang Yuanwai is going is not easy to make achievements and get promotion opportunities. It will not be beneficial to future scientific examinations or becoming an official. It is better to find a position outside of Nanping Town and do good things."
Chu Yue understood.
"The prefect still has the foresight." She looked at the sky outside the house and stood up from her seat. "I lost track of time while chatting with you. I have to go to the hospital."
Because I got up too quickly, I accidentally stepped on the hem of my own skirt. I lost my balance and fell to the side.
Seeing this, Lu Xinghe hurriedly stood up, waved his hand, and took her into his arms.
"Are you okay?"
Feeling Lu Xinghe's concerned gaze, Chu Yue felt warm and sweet in her heart.
"I'm fine, thank you sir."
She broke away from Lu Xinghe's arms and ran out with a slight blush, "I'm going to the hospital first."
Near noon, a wave of people came to the medical clinic, all of whom were villagers from Banpo Village.
When they learned that Chu Yue had been granted the title of Lord of the Township, they all came to congratulate her. These people were carrying some gifts in their hands, some were a few eggs, some were a basket of vegetables, and some were carrying a chicken.
The leaders were Wang Xuelan and Lu Tiesheng. This was the first time for them to come to Xingyue Medical Clinic. Looking at the imposing two-story medical clinic in front of them, their eyes were filled with surprise and pride.
Lu Tiesheng glanced at the person behind him.
"Folks, we're here!"
He had heard Chu Yue say before that it was just a small medical clinic and it was not on the main street, but he did not expect that not only was the medical clinic not small, but the location was not as remote as he imagined.
Lu Tiesheng clasped his hands behind his back and entered the hospital with a proud face.
"Yue Yatou, Yufang, we are here."
There were few people in the medical clinic. After Chu Yue finished her work, she went to the counter to explain medical principles to Lu Yufang. When she turned around and saw Lu Tiesheng and Wang Xuelan walking into the medical clinic, she was surprised.
He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Grandma, why are you two elders here?"
Lu Tiesheng smiled and said, "Didn't I hear that you were granted the title of Township Lord by the imperial court? The folks in the village all said they would come to town to congratulate you. It just so happened that you and I didn't come to your medical clinic, so we came with you. ”
Chu Yue glanced behind the two of them and saw that there were many people in the village, and they were here to congratulate them. She couldn't just drive them away without drinking a bowl of tea, so she turned around and told Lu Yufang.
"Yufang, I'm going to take my grandparents and the folks back home first. I'll leave the medical clinic to you for now. I'll come back when I'm free in the afternoon."
Lu Yufang nodded hurriedly.
"Go and do your work if you have anything to do. Doctor Zhu and I are here, so don't worry."
Chu Yue then looked at everyone with a smile.
"Uncles and aunts, please follow me home. The place in the hospital is too small to accommodate so many of us. Besides, my mother is at home, so it would be perfect for her to entertain you all."
"What Wife Xinghe said is that if we are here, it will hinder the hospital from receiving patients. We should go to Sister-in-law Yun's house."
"Okay, wife Xinghe, you lead the way."
Chu Yue pursed her lips and smiled, then led everyone back home.
When they came to the door and looked at the magnificent yard and exquisite houses in front of them, everyone was even more surprised.
Lu Xinghe’s family has made a fortune now!
To live in such a nice courtyard.
Chen Shufen, who was following the crowd, felt a little unhappy. In the past, she was in favor of not allowing Lu Shanshan to marry Lu Xinghe. Even though Lu Xinghe's family later built a brick house in Banpo Village, she didn't feel anything. .
Looking at the big yard in front of her now, she really felt that the Yao family that Lu Shanshan was marrying now was really beyond her reach.
Tian Chunyan glanced in Chen Shufen's direction.
"Sister-in-law Chen, luckily our Xinghe family didn't marry your Lu Shanshan. If it weren't for Yue Yatou, Xinghe's family wouldn't be able to make a fortune."
She seemed to have forgotten that she didn't think much of Chu Yue in the past.
It's just that she doesn't know when this idea began to slowly change.
Maybe you heard that Chu Yue went to the county to provide disaster relief, right? Maybe it started from the last time Lu Laifu slapped her.
After hearing this, Chen Shufen, although she didn't want to admit it, had to accept the reality.
Although Shanshan was excellent in her heart, compared to Chu Yue's ability, she was still far behind.
Because she also had this awareness, she didn't say anything to Tian Chunyan. She just snorted and shrank further back in the crowd.
"Girl Yue, are you buying or renting this yard? Isn't it cheap?" Lu Tiesheng walked into the yard and asked as he looked around.
When Chu Yue bought the yard before, she didn't want to make it public, so she didn't tell the two elders. Therefore, they didn't know that Chu Yue bought the yard in the town.
"This courtyard was bought. It was previously occupied by a teacher from Nanping Academy. The decoration is particularly exquisite." After Chu Yue finished speaking, she shouted towards the courtyard, "Mother, my husband, we have a guest."
"Who's coming?"
Yun Cuihe left the house and hurried to the front yard. When she saw dozens of people crowded in the yard, the surprise on her face was no less than that of Chu Yue.
"Mom, dad, eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, why are you all here?"
Lu Xinghe also left the house and greeted several elders in the family one by one.
Zhao Guiqin stepped forward with a smile and put a chicken she was carrying into Yun Cuihe's hand, "Xinghe's wife has been enfeoffed by the village king. This is the first time in our village. Such a great good thing, of course we have to come to celebrate."
