Winter goes to spring, day after day, year after year.In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.At this time, Li Jing has gradually matured from the ignorant girl three years ago.Lu Zhi has also become more and more beautiful, and Zi Ling has also transformed from the yellow-haired girl into a young girl.Zhang Zhongjing also became older, with a lot of gray hair on his temples. The only thing that didn't change was Zhang Yi, who was still a handsome young man.

Regarding the relationship with Zhang Yi, Li Jing feels a bit of a headache, often hot and cold, and can vaguely feel his concern for her, but this kind of concern makes Li Jing a little confused, whether it is love or friendship or Li Jing herself couldn't describe the brotherly and sisterly affection.During these years, following her master to treat the people in the city, Li Jing basically understood Zhang Zhongjing's medical skills.Three years is enough to change a lot of things, and Li Jing feels deep down that she has integrated into this era, and she doesn't think too much about other things.

Just after the Shangyuan Festival, Zhang Zhongjing called Li Jing and his party to meet in the hall of the prefect's mansion.When Li Jing came to the hall, she found that Zhang Zhongjing's expression was unusually serious.

"The old man invited you to come here today because I have something important to tell you!" Zhang Zhongjing stroked his long white beard.

"Father, what's the matter?" Zhang Yi asked first.

"I'm going to Lingnan for my father to perfect "Treatise on Febrile Diseases."

"What, Lord Prefect, you are the governor of a county, what will the people of Changsha do if you leave?" Zhang Zhongjing, who was sitting on Zhang Zhongjing's left, was slightly pale.

"Zimou, you don't need to panic. A few days ago, I recommended you to the imperial court as the new prefect of Changsha County. You have followed this old man for the past few years. I believe that it is easy to govern a county. I believe that the imperial edict will come soon. .”

"Thank you, the prefect, for your love, but I'm afraid it's not enough!" Zhang Lue, who was deeply happy in his heart, didn't show it on his face at this time, but humbly declined.

"Zimou don't need to be modest, I already know about your talent, so there is no need to refuse."

"But adoptive father, if you leave, my son won't worry. Could it be that you can't complete "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" in Changsha County?" Zhang Yi frowned.

"Yi'er, you don't understand. As a father and a prefect, there are many official affairs that need to be dealt with every day. Besides, Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, sends people to make inspections from time to time. My father has long been tired of dealing with the etiquette and rules in the officialdom, and I have no time to perfect them. "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", besides, in recent years, many innocent people have died of typhoid fever, if my father can complete this "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" earlier, maybe we can reduce the number of people's deaths earlier." Zhang Zhongjing sighed.

"Master, have you really decided?" Li Jing asked in surprise.For Zhang Zhongjing, Li Jing admires and is grateful from the bottom of her heart. As the prefect of a county, she not only loves the people like a child, but also treats the common people for free. She not only takes in herself, but also teaches herself a lot of medical skills. Li Jing couldn't help but feel a little sad because she wanted to leave now.

"Yes, Jing'er, although I don't give up on you as a teacher, but for the sake of the people in the world, I have to leave. It's just that I want to make a wish before I leave. I don't know if Jing'er can help my teacher to do it. What about it?" Zhang Zhongjing's words were somewhat meaningful.

"Whatever wish does Master have, Jing'er will definitely do it if she can."

"To be honest, Jing'er, you and Wen Hui look so much alike, but Yi'er and Wen Hui hit it off. If Wen Hui hadn't encountered the plague, maybe I would have become a grandfather by now. It's a pity... ..." Zhang Zhongjing sighed deeply.

"Father, it turns out that you have long..." Zhang Yi on the side looked at Zhang Zhongjing in surprise.

"Of course my father knows. How can the little Jiujiu between you and others be hidden from my father's eyes. My father is also someone who has been there. It's very clear, but I just don't want to say it out of my mouth." Zhang Zhongjing took a sip of tea from his teacup and continued. Said: "Jing'er, seeing Yi'er's deep affection for you as a teacher, how about forming a good relationship before leaving as a teacher?"

Hearing Zhang Zhongjing's words, Zhang Yi's heart tightened, the long sword in his hand was tightly gripped, but at the same time he was full of anticipation. For three years, he had always wanted to find a chance to express his feelings to Li Jing, but every time he spoke When it came to my mouth, I found that no matter how I said it, I couldn't say it.Now it was suddenly brought up by the adoptive father.

"Master, I..." Hearing Zhang Zhongjing's sudden words, Li Jing's heart was full of ups and downs. Although Zhang Yi had been nice to her for three years, she was only grateful to Zhang Yi. I hadn't thought about it in terms of men and women.Like it?Can't say, hate it?Nor is it.Li Jing was silent for a moment.

There was a long silence, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little awkward.Seeing this, Lu Zhi and Ziling, who were next to Li Jing, pulled Li Jing's clothes and whispered to her ear: "Sister Jing, can you make it, please tell me, don't let the prefect wait."

"Master, actually I..."

"Jing'er, you don't need to say more. Since ancient times, marriage has always been the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker. Now that your parents are away, you can be regarded as your elder if you are a teacher, and Yi'er is also my adopted son. I look at this marriage. Let's do it like this!" Zhang Zhongjing said with a smile while stroking his long beard.

"Master, it's really hard to repay your kindness at present, Jing'er, I will repay it in the future, but I object to this marriage, I don't agree, the things between me and Yi are not what you imagined, it will be unclear for a while, I hope you don't mess with the mandarin ducks, Jing'er's marriage is up to Jing'er!" Suddenly, Li Jing retorted.

"Jing'er, nonsense! Since ancient times, how can a daughter's family decide her own marriage?" Zhang Zhongjing shouted angrily.

"My own marriage is my own decision." Ignoring Zhang Zhongjing, Li Jing ran straight from the prefect's mansion to the bank of Xiangshui.

After listening to Li Jing's answer, Zhang Yi, who was full of expectations, was disappointed. Looking at Li Jing who ran out, Zhang Yi tried his best to restrain his emotions and said, "Father, Jing'er behaved perversely and offended you. I hope you will forgive me. We will solve the matter between Jing'er, so don't worry too much. I'll go and see Jing'er now."

"Alas!" Zhang Zhongjing sighed, full of disappointment.

The cold wind of early spring blew on Li Jing's face with the biting chill of winter. At this moment, Li Jing felt very cold.Walking alone by the deserted river, looking at the waves of the river gently lapping the river bank, Li Jing stood beside the river bank, quietly listening and thinking about all this.After an unknown amount of time, a low voice broke Li Jing's contemplation.

"Jing'er, where are you? I've been looking for you for a long time." A young man in white clothes holding a long sword and looking sad said to the wind.

Li Jing turned around and went to see the young man, only to see the breeze blowing wantonly on the young man's face, the young man's hair looked a little messy, and his eyes were melancholy and lonely.Li Jing didn't dare to look into the young man's eyes and said, "Yi, I'm sorry, thank you for caring for me all these years, but I have never thought about the relationship between a man and a woman when I treat you."

"Jing'er, is what you said true? Haven't you ever liked me at all?"

Faced with Zhang Yi's straightforward question, Li Jing nodded silently.

"In that case, what does this letterhead mean?" Zhang Yi took out the letterhead hidden in his chest and handed it to Li Jing.

"Lovesickness and reminiscence in the wind and rain, may you be well!" Li Jing read softly, thinking about it for a long time, and suddenly found that this letter was a lantern that she and Zi Ling put together during the Shangyuan Festival three years ago.

"This...how is it in your hands?" Li Jing asked in surprise.

"Jing'er, let's not ask why it's in my hands, since it's not me, can I tell you who he is?"

"An old friend, someone you don't know." Li Jing took a long breath.

"Then what about the gift of the sword?" Zhang Yi continued to ask unwillingly.

"You lost the sword because you saved me, so this is a kindness."

"That being the case, why did you sing a duet with me on the bank of the Xiangshui River when the dragon raised its head three years ago, Jinger, do you know that those who recited poems and sang duets that day were all lovers?"

"Yi, I'm really sorry. I've never had the festival of raising the head of the dragon. I didn't know that reciting poems duet is a relationship between a man and a woman, and that day was all for fun."

"Hahaha...so that's the case! It turns out that a certain person has always been self-indulgent, King Xiang has a heart, and the goddess has no dreams!" Zhang Yi suddenly smiled wryly.

Looking at Zhang Yi who was smiling wryly, Li Jing instinctively wanted to comfort her, but as soon as the words came to her lips, she found that she couldn't say them at all.Suddenly, Li Jing also felt that she couldn't tell whether she had feelings for Zhang Yi.Looking at herself in front of the river, Li Jing suddenly thought of Zhang Zhongjing's daughter, the portrait she once saw in the prefect's mansion also appeared in front of her eyes.Li Jing was silent for a while and said: "Yi, if I don't look like the deceased master's daughter Wen Hui, will you still like me?"

"I..." Zhang Yi, who was immersed in pain, faced Li Jing's sudden question, but suddenly found that he couldn't answer at all.Whether he regards Jinger as Wen Hui's substitute, or really likes Jinger, or both, Zhang Yi suddenly finds that he can't tell.

"Jing'er, I..."

"Yi, I know you like Master's daughter very much, but I am me after all, not Master's daughter. I, Li Jing, do not want and will not be anyone's substitute."

"I'm sorry, Jing'er, I was the one to be rude." After a long silence, Zhang Yi bowed.

"Yi, there's no need to be like this, let's go back and explain the situation to Master."

Quietly, it soon entered the night, and Li Jing and Zhang Yi returned to the prefect's mansion together.However, most of Zhang Zhongjing's anger had already dissipated. Seeing the two of them coming back at the same time, he felt a little relieved.

"Father, since Jing'er is unwilling, then don't force it!" Zhang Yi spoke first.

"Could it be that there is no..." Zhang Zhongjing asked in surprise.

"Master, my apprentice apologizes to you. In fact, the relationship between Yi and I is not what you think it is. The matter between me and Yi is handled by ourselves. You don't have to worry about it. I hope Master can respect this matter." My choice." Li Jing said seriously.

"Father, I have thought about it for a long time, and I feel that what Jing'er said is right. Since Jing'er is unwilling, Yi'er hopes that Father will not force it." Zhang Yi suddenly knelt down on his knees.

"Yi'er, what are you doing, let's go...Since that's the case, just don't force it as a father, get up quickly, Yi'er." Zhang Zhongjing sighed helplessly.

"Thank you so much, foster father."

"Thank you so much, Master."

Zhang Yi stood up and said in unison with Li Jing.Li Jing immediately cast a grateful look at Zhang Yi.After Zhang Yi saw it, he smiled slightly, but immediately returned to normal.
