Li Jingjing, who was sitting cross-legged in the car eating melon seeds, leaned forward, and was pulled by Qu's arm, so she didn't fall down.

He asked loudly: "The official road ahead is a landslide, which makes it impossible for the carriage to move forward?" ”

Hong Laosan's rough voice overwhelmed the sound of heavy rain, and said: "Back to the eldest lady, the official road ahead is not a landslide, something else happened, and the forward soldiers are inquiring." ”

The heavy rain hit the roof of the carriage, and the inside of the carriage was dark, and the atmosphere was a little depressing, but it did not affect the good mood of the Li family.

When he was young, Hong Laosan's voice sounded again, and he was a little anxious, "Big lady, there was an accident in front of the official, two villagers driving two cows collided with two horse-drawn carriages galloping, seriously injuring eight people. ”

Deng Shi was startled and muttered, "How could the ox collide with the carriage?" ”

Li Jingjing picked up a corner of the car window, looked at the darkness outside the window, and the bean-sized raindrops smashed into the window frame and splashed in, sighed, and said, "It's dark under the rain, and the official road can't see clearly." I guess the carriage was running too fast and it collided with the oxen. ”

Hong Laosan said loudly: "Several great doctors and Guangmingzi in the house got off the carriage and went to take a look. The nearby village is carrying people who have removed the patients and the carriage, and the official road is open, may I ask the eldest lady, is the convoy moving forward? ”

He said: "Go to the sick, Yunxiao left to wait for a few great doctors and Guangmingzi." The rest moved on. ”

In such weather, there are many women and children in the convoy, and they must not stay here for a long time.

Li Jingjing said in a loud voice: "Uncle Hong, you stretch out your hand, and give this bottle to Guangmingzi." ”

So Li Quai, Li Yunxiao and fifty Li Wangfu's personal soldiers stayed, and everyone continued to move forward in the rain in a carriage.

Half an hour later, the rain gradually subsided, and it had entered Taolin County (now Lingbao City), which was under the jurisdiction of Henan Province, and the Li family went to the house of a wealthy businessman friend in Li Bing to spend the night according to the original plan.

This wealthy businessman is called Murong Feng, and his family is a big family that has been in business for hundreds of years, doing business in medicinal materials and grain during war, and timber and book business during peacetime.

When Li Bing supported He Dong to fight the country, the army needed a large amount of grain, and at that time, the price of grain was expensive and scarce, and it was often impossible to buy it with money.

Murong Feng looked at Li Bing's face, and every time he gave He Dong's army a cheap price for food, and guaranteed the quality and quantity.

Once he learned that Li Bing was eating coarse grains, and gave the army 5,000 catties of rice and noodles for nothing, and he must let Li Bing eat fine grains.

Later, He Dong ascended the throne, and Li Bing asked for an imperial plaque for Murong Feng: Yi Bo Yuntian.

Businessmen seek profit. Yi Bo Yuntian is the highest praise for a businessman.

This plaque has become the talisman of the Murong family, as long as the Ding Dynasty exists, no one dares to oppress them.

Murong Feng is 65 years old this year and has four sons and three daughters. Like Li Bing, he has only one wife.

Before the Li family came, they sent a message to Murong Feng.

Murong Feng was very happy, and called back his three sons, two daughters, and more than a dozen grandchildren, granddaughters, granddaughters, and great-grandsons and great-granddaughters who were within a radius of 100 miles.

He took his three sons to chat with Qu Kuaishou and Li Laoshi.

His wife had passed away, so his three daughters-in-law accompanied Qu and He to speak.

The eldest daughter-in-law specially said to the He family: "County Lord, my family's books are stored in the books of the three dynasties, do you want to take a look?" ”

Over the past few hundred years, the Murong family has printed countless books for the imperial court, Luoyang Academy, celebrities, etc., and every time a new book is printed, it will leave a few collections as a souvenir.

He had been thinking about this, nodded along the water, and took his twin sons to the library by his eldest daughter-in-law.

Li Jingjing wanted to see how many books had been collected by wealthy merchants for hundreds of years, so she followed, and this trip was really eye-opening.

The number of books in the Murong family reached as much as 30% of the collection of books in Tanzhou Academy.

This is just a wealthy merchant family, not a big family like the Di and Bai clans.

In comparison, the number of books that He painstakingly collected for the Li family is not worth mentioning.

He said with some excitement: "I heard my father say that there are many books in your house, and when I see them today, they are worthy of their reputation." ”

When the He family was young, the Mu clan had more books than the Murong family, and there were more children and teenagers in the clan than who read.

She wants the Li family and the He family to have many books, and their children and grandchildren can also be proud of reading more.

The eldest daughter-in-law said modestly: "Our family's collection of books is to record how many new books have been printed, and the clan doesn't read these books, and the pages are all new, which makes you smile." ”

The Murong family is a big family, with a large population but not complicated, because the clan rules stipulate that men are not allowed to take concubines, and they can have sex but cannot let them have children.

The children of the Murong family who came here today are all descendants, all of them are very smart, lively and cute, and they will learn to do some business since they were young.

He instructed the twins to learn the virtues of the Murong family's children.

Ding's maiden family is a wealthy businessman, but the business era is far inferior to the wealthy businessman Murong family, this time it is an eye-opener.

The Ding family is going to write a letter to his mother's father, asking him to move around with the Murong family and learn how to do big business and keep his wealth.

The bride of Qudo, Ma, brought out all four of her children so that they could learn more.

For dinner, the Murong family entertained the Li family's distinguished guests with authentic Henan dishes.

Braised Yellow River carp, braised mutton and other dishes are accompanied by mutton stewed noodles, vegetarian pot stickers, and soup dumplings with more than a dozen snacks.

After being full of wine and food, Li Laoshi followed Li Bing's instructions and said, "Uncle Murong, I heard my father say that some people in your clan suffer from night wandering syndrome, and my daughter is a little skilled in medicine and can treat patients. ”

Murong Feng's eyes flickered, he looked away, sighed, and said, "My wife suffered from this disease before her death, and she has passed away. ”

Li honestly heard that the patient Li Bing said was not Mrs. Murong, nor did he force Murong Feng, so he said, "I'm sorry, the junior reminds you of the deceased uncle." ”

The Li family was tired all the way and went to rest early.

Boss Murong and Second Elder Murong invited Murong Feng to the side hall and asked, "Dad, why don't you let the princess of the Protector give us a medical treatment?" ”

It turned out that it was not the deceased Mrs. Murong who suffered from night wandering syndrome, but Murong Feng and his children and grandsons.

Six or seven out of ten people in the Murong family suffer from nocturnal wandering syndrome, ranging from going out of the house in the middle of the night to talk in their dreams and telling all their secrets, or running outside the house to kill people with knives.

The Murong family even stipulated that their children were not allowed to enter the court as officials, and they were not allowed to reveal the secret of the clan's nocturnal wandering disease to outsiders.

In the midsummer of that year, Murong Feng took a boat with grain to the south, sleepwalked at night and knocked out his entourage, jumped into the river to swim, and met Li Bing, who went down to the river to swim to get hot.

Murong Feng swam by himself, ignoring Li Bing, Li Bing felt that this person was very strange, so he talked to him, asked him and answered, and even said how many silver tickets he carried.

Li Bing knew the secret of Murong Feng's nocturnal wandering syndrome, and immediately woke Murong Feng up.

Murong Feng woke up from a dream and didn't know what was going on, thinking that he was rescued by Li Bing when he fell into the water, and wanted to recognize Li Bing as his life-saving benefactor.

Li Bing told Murong Feng the truth and did not save him.

Murong Feng thinks that Li Bing is open-minded and upright, and he is very worthy of contact. The two became friends.

Later, when the Ding Dynasty was first established, Li Bing went to Murong Feng to send grain from Chang'an to Beidi to express his gratitude, and stayed overnight in the Murong family.

At night, Li Bing heard a woman laughing outside the courtyard, and when he went out, he found that it was Murong Feng's youngest daughter laughing at the tree.

Thanks to Li Bing, he knew that Murong Feng had a disease of night wandering syndrome, and immediately guessed that his youngest daughter had inherited this disease, otherwise if he changed to someone else, he would either be scared to death, or he would think that this woman was seducing people.

Li Bing pretended not to know about the matter, but still went back to the house to sleep.

After a while, the four big slaves of the Murong family hurriedly came and covered Murong Feng's youngest daughter's mouth and took her away.

The big slave was afraid that Li Bing would look down on the Murong family if he knew about it, so he deliberately stood outside his house for half a quarter of an hour, heard his snoring, and thought that he was asleep, so he left steadily.

Murong Feng shook his head and said, "The clan rules of the old ancestor stipulate that the descendants must not reveal that the clan suffers from nocturnal disease. ”

Murong Lao Er said: "Dad, don't talk about the clan rules. Over the years, you have successively found great doctors from all over the country to see the night travel syndrome, why can't you let the princess of the protector take a look at it today? ”

Boss Murong hurriedly said: "The princess of the Protectorate has saved so many people, and her medicine is known as the first in the world, don't look at her young age." ”

"Dad, the noble status of the princess of the protector can treat the people of our family, it is all because of your friendship with Prince Li."

"Dad, Prince Li's family will leave our family tomorrow and go to Luoyang, and there will be no such shop in this village."

Murong Feng still shook his head and said: "Our family has been suffering from this disease for nearly six hundred years, and after three dynasties, the great doctors we have seen are not only from our own country but also from other countries, if not thousands, but also hundreds. It's useless, and no one can cure our family's disease. ”

Murong Lao Er said angrily: "You don't even let the princess of the protector give it a try!" ”

"Didn't you hear the princess of the protector say that this time I went to Luoyang to participate in the Buddhist and Taoist medicine competition?" Murong Feng paused and said slowly: "I thought about the princess of the Protectorate who used to give people medicine, and there was no failure. I don't want her to encounter a big failure before participating in the big competition, and she will be frustrated. ”

The two Murong brothers sighed, only nodded obediently, and then sent Murong Feng to rest, and then went to tell the three younger brothers and sisters Murong Feng's thoughts.

"Daddy has always put himself in someone else's shoes."

"Prince Li thought about the illness of our family, and asked the princess of the protector to come to the door to show us, and my father was moved, but he didn't want the princess to go to Luoyang because she couldn't cure the night wandering syndrome of our people, and she went to Luoyang to lose."

"There is no cure for our family's nocturnal disease, and there is no cure. That's it. ”

The Murong brothers and sisters thought that they had no chance to let Li Jingjing see the disease, so they stopped the topic and said other things, which was nothing more than their opinion of the Li family, and they all felt that Li Bing's wife, children, grandchildren, daughters-in-law, and daughters were very good, and they could at least be rich and noble for more than a hundred years.

When it was approaching, Li Quzhi, Li Yunxiao and several great doctors and pharmacists rode horses and were escorted by their own soldiers to the gate of the Murong family.

Murong Boss, the second child, and the third child heard the news and greeted each other.

The housekeeper of the Murong family said excitedly: "The three masters, the chief physician and the chief pharmacist of the Protector Princess Pharmacy have saved several lives, and the people in the village have given two adult dead bulls weighing several hundred catties in order to thank them for saving their lives. ”

Beef is more expensive than bear meat and blood swallow in Dingchao, and the most important thing is that you can't buy it with money.

The last time the Murong family ate beef was the winter before last.

It was an old and thin cow, the meat was so old that it was stewed for a day before it was stewed, and the smell of the meat hooked out the gluttony of the whole clan, and he waited for several hours, and finally each person only got a small bowl of soup and five pieces of meat, which was not satisfying at all.

The eyes of the three Murong brothers lit up suddenly in the dark night, and people in their thirties and forties rushed to ask Li Quai's uncle and nephew like children, what was going on.

Li Quzhi said succinctly: "It was raining heavily and the sky was dark, and two carriages on the official road hit two cows. The two villagers who were driving the cattle and the eight people in the wagon were all seriously injured. Two cows and two horses died on the spot. ”

Li Yunxiao said proudly: "Several great doctors from my sister's pharmacy have teamed up to save eight people, and they have used the surgery and medicine created by my sister. My sister's medical skills are extremely powerful, and there is no disease that she can't cure over the years. ”

Before Steward Murong finished speaking, he couldn't help but interject: "Three masters, the sick lord said that he would give two dead cows to our family for meat, what do you think about it?" ”

Li Quzhi smiled and said: "The two dead cows have been sold in the local government, you can eat meat with confidence." In order not to let the villagers lose too much, he also gave thirty taels of silver.

"I'll let the stove stew in the middle of the night tonight, and I'll eat beef for breakfast tomorrow."

"My father, my three younger sisters, my wife, and my two sons all love beef, and every time they eat beef, they can enjoy it for a few days."

"I want to ask Xiao Shizi to tell me what incurable diseases the princess has cured before?"

The joyful laughter of the three Murong brothers spread in the dark night, and they were completely sleepy, and accompanied Li Quai's uncle and nephew, several great doctors, and Guangmingzi to have supper.

Li Yunxiao saw that the three Murong brothers were very interested in this matter, so he described the injuries of the eight patients.

The three Murong brothers were dumbfounded when they heard this, thinking about the fact that the cattle and horses were killed by the collision, and it was inevitable that the people in the carriage and the villagers who were driving the farmers would be seriously injured.

Boss Murong praised: "The patient was so seriously injured, several great doctors and Master Guangming Zi were able to save their lives, and the medical skills are really clever." ”

Guangming Zi glared at He An and He Ping, who had enjoyed a few hours of being praised by others, and said, "Thanks to my junior sister's medicine today, otherwise Master Sanqing Ancestor would not be able to save those eight people." ”

"Bleeding from the intestines, such a serious illness can only be cured by the medicine made by the young lady." Dr. Liu did not forget to remind He Ping and He An that the medicine in the pharmacy is the best in the world.

After the second and third Murong asked about a few illnesses, Murong asked the second one, "Can the princess of the Protector cure night wandering syndrome?" ”

"When my sister was in Tanzhou, she treated patients for overnight travel." Li Yunxiao was eating mutton stewed noodles, and suddenly changed the topic and said: "My family, except for my mother, likes to eat rice, and I have to have rice to eat beef for breakfast tomorrow." Otherwise, you will regret eating it. ”

Murong Lao Er was about to faint with joy, his voice changed, and he said, "How much rice you want to eat." ”

In order to keep the family, Boss Murong suppressed his emotions and asked, "Did the princess of the Protector cure the symptoms of that nocturnal wanderer?" ”

Li Yunxiao said seriously: "It's not one patient, it's three patients, and the most serious patient has night wandering symptoms so severe that he went to the kitchen in the middle of the night to get a knife, and compared his son's head to a watermelon, and almost cut it!" ”

The three Murong brothers were ecstatic, looking at Li Quzhi and Li Yunxiao's eyes were different, and the intensity of affection made Li Yunxiao a little puzzled, and habitually affirmed: "My sister's medical skills are extremely powerful. My sister is mine. ”

The uncles and nephews of the Li family went to rest, and the three brothers of Murong couldn't hold back their excitement and joy, woke up their two younger sisters, and then went to knock on the door of Murong Feng's bedroom together.

Murong Boss and Murong Lao Wu said in unison: "Dad, my son (daughter) has something very important to report to you. ”

Murong Laosi shook his head and pointed to a copper lock on the door, and said, "Don't scream, no." Look at the big lock. Daddy didn't rest here tonight. ”

Murong Er said: "You haven't been home for a long time, I don't know." Dad must have been afraid that the midnight tour would startle the Li family, so he asked the slave to lock the door. Immediately he screamed, and the servant, who was sleeping in the chamber, ran three steps and two steps to get the key and open the door.

It was dark in the bedroom, and the four of them saw a person sitting at the table by the moonlight, and only then did they see clearly when the slave lit the lamp.

Murong Feng sat at the table with his eyes half-open, using the table as a chessboard and the teacup as a chess piece, and was "playing chess" alone.

The slave was afraid of being punished, so he knelt down and whispered: "Since the old lady passed away, the old man has always played chess at night. ”

Mrs. Murong was very fond of playing chess when she was alive, but her chess skills were not high, and in order to make her happy, Murong Feng pretended to lose when she played chess with her.

The Murong brothers and sisters sighed, waved their hands to let the slave retreat, and then took the cold water from the teapot and wiped it on Murong Feng's forehead, shook him awake from his dream, and said what had just happened.

"Daddy, you can't miss the princess who protects the country."

"Daddy, my son listened to what Xiao Shizi said personally, and the princess of the protectorate didn't take the victory or defeat of this medical competition seriously, and she only participated to help Master Guangmingzi vent his anger."

"Prince Li just knew that the princess of the protectorate could cure the night wandering syndrome, so he specially instructed the immortal marquis to ask you."

The Murong brothers and sisters each said a few words at most, and they didn't dare to say more, which annoyed Murong Feng.

Murong Feng's cloudy eyes looked at the five children without blinking, and said, "I have already rejected the Immortal Marquis and told a lie. ”

Murong Lao Dao: "Daddy, Xiao Shizi just told our brother about many examples of the princess of the protector curing incurable diseases, if you don't let the princess of the protector see the night wandering syndrome, then Prince Li will think that you don't trust the princess of the protector, that is, you don't trust him." ”

Murong Feng sighed and said, "You're right, the matter has come to this, if I don't tell the truth to the Immortal Marquis again, it will be too much to see Prince Li as a close friend, and I will live up to Prince Li's kindness." ”

Early the next morning, Murong Feng and the Murong brothers and sisters were waiting in the courtyard hall where Li Laoshi and He were staying.

Li Laoshi and He came out after washing.

Murong Feng went straight to the point and said the reason why he lied yesterday, and then he looked heavy and said slowly: "There are twenty-four people in our Murong family, and there are fourteen descendants born from Murong Nu's marriage, and a total of thirty-eight people suffer from nocturnal wandering syndrome. ”

"Go and call Sister Jing to me." Li was slightly shocked in his heart. I thought that one or two people were suffering from this disease, but who knew that thirty-eight people, could all his beloved daughters be cured?
