princess is fine

In the 17th year of Yonghe, Xuanzhou.

Although Zhang's tea shop is said to be a tea shop, but because it happens to be the only way to enter the city from south to north, the shop prepares all kinds of food, wine and water for the convenience of guests who rest here.

If the Zhang family couple were too busy before, they could still ask their son to come over to help.It's just that in the past few days, the regular customers of the tea shop have not seen the practical and capable boy Zhang. Seeing that the Zhangs and his wife are too busy to come, some familiar customers asked strangely: "Why are you two busy? Where did the kid go wild?"

Uncle Zhang added tea to the table beside him, and when he heard this, he smiled happily: "My son has not gone wild. Dr. Zhao, the medical officer in the west of the city, saw that he was honest and willing to work hard, so he recruited him as an apprentice a few days ago. !"

The guest was surprised when he heard this, and felt happy for the Zhangs, so he asked a few more questions before giving up.

The guest was out of the city for a spring outing, and he always had to rest and drink some tea when he came here on weekdays.It's nothing to sit here and talk about some anecdotes, but it will add some fun to the guests on the side.

"Speaking of medical halls, have you ever heard of the medicine house?" The guest took a sip of tea, saw the curious eyes of everyone, and then said slowly: "This medicine house is not a medicine seller, nor is it a It’s not a place, but a group of people.” Someone at the tea stand was interested and urged, “Who are you?”

Uncle Zhang saw that all the guests were listening carefully, so he wanted to stand aside and wait for the one to tell the next story.But when he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the hall, he hurried out to meet the guests.

He was standing at the door of the shop, just in time to see a young man get off his horse.Although the young man was dressed in plain clothes and without any decorations, he looked fresh and handsome, with an extraordinary appearance. He was not an ordinary person at first glance, so he welcomed him in, took him to a quiet place, and served him again. The good tea from the store is here.

The young man was very polite, and after thanking Uncle Zhang, he asked for some more food.

Uncle Zhang agreed with a smile, but when he turned around, he was a little puzzled. This young man looked very handsome, but his taste was like a child's. Seeing that he was in a hurry, he didn't want to have a full stomach, and only ordered some snacks.There is nothing exquisite in his small country shop, only mung bean cakes and the like, and I don't know what the customer thinks.Although it was a bit confusing, it was the request of the guest after all, so Uncle Zhang didn't worry about it anymore, and just went to prepare.

The young master sat in the shop, although he looked around, although he is not tall, he has a kind of agility, I saw that he heard the previous guests say, "the people in the medicine hut are all excellent in medicine." At the time", the black and white eyeballs moved slightly, and there was already a smile.

The guest continued to preach loudly: "People eat whole grains and miscellaneous grains, and they are destined to suffer from all kinds of diseases. Once they get sick, they cannot do without a doctor. It's just that people are divided into good and evil, and doctors are also good or bad. Zhang Zhongjing, the medical sage, called Scholars in Xinglin teach medical skills and ethics. Because the place where they teach is a thatched hut, the name of the medicine hut comes from this.”

I don't know whose idea it was at the beginning, but even used the title of medical sage, those old fellows in the medicine hut are all fine foxes... The little boy showed a strange smile on his face, But soon returned to normal, and listened to the guest continue to talk:

"When the former emperor was in power and the plague raged in the southwest, it was the people in this medicine house who went to the southwest to help local officials arrange patients, study the disease, and finally save the people... This medicine house has been through for a hundred years. It has grown and grown, and now there is no prestige doctor in Xinglin who can't get out of it!"

This period of history has been told by Brother Gu and the others... The young master pinched a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and heard a listener laughing: "Uncle Zhang, your family and the medical sage are still in the same family, maybe you My kid can also enter that medicine house and become a famous doctor who can help the world!"

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang shook his head and hurried away with a smile.

When the crowd was laughing, they heard a sigh from the crowd: "Speaking of the plague, I don't know what happened to the epidemic in Dongshan, Xuancheng..."

When everyone heard it, they looked towards the place where the sound came from, and there was a man in a blue-gray brocade robe who was panting, and those who recognized him rushed up to salute: "So it's Master He of He Zhi County!"

That person was He Daishan, the magistrate of Lanxi County under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou. Lanxi County is only twenty miles away from here, and it is considered close to Xuanzhou City.

He Daishan didn't put on any official airs, he waved his hand to let everyone sit down, and then looked at the guest: "Sir, you seem to know this medicine house very well, I wonder if you can introduce it for me?"

The guest stroked his beard and smiled slightly, but said nothing.

Although everyone knew that He Daishan was a friendly person, but he was an official after all, seeing that he and that person seemed to have a discussion, they remained silent.

He Daishan stood up, went to the man's table and sat down, the two handcuffed each other, respected each other a cup of tea, and then talked about the topic just now.

The voice in the tea shop slowly rose again, the little boy asked Uncle Zhang to wrap up the remaining cakes on the table, and then glanced at He Daishan.

The moment he walked out the door, the young master was amazed: I can't see that there are so many big people in this small tea shop... But the epidemic situation in Dongshan County, he frowned for a while, and was about to Stepped on the horse, but suddenly saw a carriage passing by slowly.

Although that road is the main road, but because the carriages and horses of passing customers are parked at the entrance of the shop, the road is not wide.

He stood still and waited for the carriage to pass by.

But I saw the boy on the car gently asked something inside the car, and a woman's voice came from inside the car: "Since we are almost here, we won't stop here, the master said that we should arrive at Xuan Xuan earlier while the weather is getting better." In the state city."

"Yes." The boy was straightforward, and continued to drive the carriage after hearing the voice.

The young man thought that the carriage was about to stop and was about to lead the horse away, but he didn't expect the carriage to move a little more.Others were fine, but the horse was frightened and neighed.

The young master hurriedly stopped the horse, the owner of the carriage could be either rich or noble, he still had important matters to attend to, and he didn't want to get involved with this person.

It's just that the boy sneered coldly: "Be careful, you can't afford to startle our master!"

The young master didn't care at first, but when he heard the man shouting coldly, he raised his eyes and looked at him with a trace of provocation: "I can't afford to be your master if you are frightened, and if my hard-earned horse is frightened, you can't afford to be either!" !"

Probably the person in the carriage heard the movement, and suddenly there was a voice of "presumptuousness." The voice was not very deep, but it was not as clear as ordinary women, but although the words were as calm as waves, it made people feel a trace of intangibility. coercion.

The young man was taken aback for a moment, but when he saw the young man kowtowing to the carriage, he realized that the two words were referring to the young man.

He got on his horse and walked away from the carriage.

When passing by the car window, he turned his head to look there, but only saw a vague figure sitting in it, the appearance of that person was not clear.

After leaving the carriage, he regained his composure and ran towards Xuanzhou City.

He must have thought too much, that person should be in the imperial city, standing on that icy high position, watching all living beings struggle, including her.

That son is none other than Xi Chao who has been away from Jian'an for three years.

In three years, she was no longer the child who shed tears when she was sad.When she came out of the palace, everyone thought it was a lucky thing for her.Only she couldn't figure out why that person could laugh and stroll with her in the courtyard, but the next time he turned around, he only left her a paper edict, telling her to leave far away and never see each other again.

Seeing her like that, Mr. Sun took her out of Jian'an City on the day the antidote was presented, and went to Yijinzhou, which was the old place of the medicine house, and entrusted her to Gu Tongzhou.

She followed Gu Tongzhou as a traveling doctor. She had traveled to many places in the past few years, and her mind gradually calmed down.For the past, he has also let go.

It's just that the only thing I can let go of is the fact that His Highness sent her out of the palace back then, but some things seemed to be buried deep in my heart, secretly breeding, but I never saw the sun.

……

Xie Chongyi, the magistrate of Xuanzhou, received the edict early on. He paced at the gate of the government office for half an hour, but he still couldn't wait for the big man to come. While he was anxious, he saw a fine horse galloping from the east. At the entrance of the government office, he slowed down and stopped. A young man in plain clothes came down from the horse. Seeing him standing at the door, he couldn't see him. He cupped his hands and shouted: "Dare to ask uncle, this is Xuanzhou government office?"

Xie Chongyi was slightly taken aback, thinking that this...doesn't look like that big shot.It's just that he was worried and didn't dare to be too sure, so he cupped his hands and said, "It's the Xuanzhou government office. I don't know this... Young Master, who is this Young Master?"

That person was Xi Chao, she smiled slightly and said, "I'm from Jinzhou, and I'm here to find a gentleman named Gu Tongzhou, I wonder if he is here?"

Xie Chongyi's eyes lit up: "So it's Dr. Gu's fellow student, please come in..." Thinking of his original purpose here, he paused and asked the yamen servants to come over and lead Xi Chao in.

It was only then that Xi Chao knew that the person standing at the door was the prefect of Xuanzhou, and hurriedly saluted and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Xie, who was rude just now. I just don't know why Mr. Xie is standing at this door?" Of course it was not to welcome her. Nobody.

Xie Chongyi smiled slightly: "I have a distinguished guest here today, so I am waiting here." After finishing speaking, he winked at the yamen servant again.

Xi Chao naturally saw that Mr. Xie must be there because of him, so he didn't bother him anymore, thanked him and went in with the yamen servant.However, the distinguished guests who can ask the magistrate to wait outside the door must have a high status.

Xi Chao shook his head, and stopped thinking about those irrelevant things. It's better to meet Brother Gu soon and ask him about the Dongshan epidemic.
