Chapter 56: The Old Man in the Gray Robe
With the red sun hanging high and the spring breeze blowing, the streets of Kyoto are still bustling with activity, in stark contrast to the deserted atmosphere of the palace, and the bustling city has a touch of smoke and dust. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The carriages and horses were sparkling, the flow of people was like weaving, Xin Yao's feet were light, and people came and went asking about Imperial Doctor Wen's mansion.
Imperial Physician Wen Tao Li Manchao, superb medical skills, it stands to reason that he should be a famous doctor after relieving his armor and returning to the field, and his mansion or medical hall should be famous even if it is not well known.
However, Xin Yao asked several streets one after another, but the people didn't know anything about the Wen Mansion, and they hadn't even heard of Imperial Doctor Wen.
"What kind of shabby place is Wen Mansion, isn't there any famous restaurant near it?" Yan Li complained all the way, blaming Xin Yao for wasting Liu Xuanwei's time, Yan Li scolded and nagged, and her sharp mouth was not idle for a while.
When Xin Yao heard this, he immediately had a flash of inspiration, didn't Lian Bin say that Imperial Physician Wen's mansion happened to be next door to Prime Minister Luo's mansion, why didn't he change his words and ask Prime Minister Luo's mansion.
It is really much smoother to inquire like this, when it comes to Prime Minister Luo's Mansion, just ask a roadside person, and you can point out the direction for Xin Yao, Prime Minister Luo's Mansion is too famous, and its magnificence can be said to be known all over the city.
Looking at the outside of the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the two brilliant gold-inlaid characters "Luofu".
I saw the colorful bright glazed tiles, the rigid granite red jade steps, these noble and luxurious decorations are not mentioned for the time being, just the two towering locusts planted on both sides of the door, it is said that they are all hundred-year-old trees, verdant and lush.
Such a majestic and tall mansion, the houses on both sides seem to be extremely withered, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a family wall, the ugly house in the east of it, there is also a vermilion wood plaque, "Ning Mansion".
Hehe, in fact, if you take a closer look at this Ning Mansion, it can be regarded as a rich courtyard, but it is located next to Prime Minister Luo Cheng's Mansion, and it is immediately set off withered.
Xin Yao thought about it, the east side of Prime Minister Luo Cheng's Mansion was the Ning Mansion, so in this way, the simple house surrounded by bare gray walls on the west side was the Wen Mansion.
Xin Yao came to this mansion without a door plaque, knocked on the door gently, and the person who answered the door was a white and lovely little waiter, flashing innocent eyes, curiously looking Xin Yao and his party up and down.
After entering the door, Xin Yao also flashed her innocent eyes and looked around curiously.
Let's say that this Wen Mansion, push the door into the door but there is a hole in the sky, not any luxurious houses, but a cluster of courtyards, the courtyards of ordinary large families, are bluestone avenues, green willows hanging around.
The courtyard of Wenfu is actually divided into pieces of square soil, like the backyard of farmers planting crops, if you want to walk to the lobby decently, there is no way to stay.
In the courtyard, an old man in a gray robe was making flowers and grass, a pair of boots were stained with dust and mud, the old man glanced up at Xin Yao, and stayed for a moment on that familiar and delicate face, and his voice was full of vicissitudes.
"Who's coming to the Humble House?"
"My name is Xin Yao, may I ask who you are, Imperial Doctor Wen?"
The title of Imperial Physician Wen has not been mentioned for many years, and occasionally a junior Imperial Physician in the palace comes to ask for advice and calls him Master; Or the old people of Kyoto came to ask for a pulse and called a person.
The old man sighed briefly, the title of imperial doctor, it has been ten years since he was absent in the blink of an eye.
The old man continued to stare at Xin Yao, and after a while, he spoke: "Come into the house and sit, don't step on my herbs." ”
Imperial Physician Wen was diagnosed and treated by Emperor Ming, but Emperor Ming was a strange poison developed by Wang Yanli, a heavy poison in Yizhou, this poison is complicated and difficult to solve, Imperial Doctor Wen knew that his talent was insufficient to solve the poison, and he almost wanted to kill himself and Emperor Ming's funeral, and finally Emperor Ming died, but Imperial Doctor Wen was pardoned by the Empress Dowager Yu, although he kept his life, he was disheartened, and blamed Emperor Ming's death on his own incompetence.
At that time, Imperial Physician Wen had no intention of serving the court, and after leaving the Imperial Hospital, he returned to his home to study medical skills, study all kinds of herbal medicines, specialize in strange poisons, and improve his medical skills.
It's a pity that time has not gone backwards, life has not been reversed, the first emperor has passed away, Imperial Doctor Wen is confused from time to time, he has been diligent and never slackened, and he has studied hard for ten years, all this, why?
Xin Yao looked at the fields in the courtyard, and could only walk on the thin straight path in the two square fields, just enough to accommodate a person to pass over, and because of stepping on the soil, it was bound to stain the shoes, Xin Yao simply embroidered a little, but flew over the compound and went straight to the front of the lobby.
Imperial Physician Wen took off his mud-stained boots and replaced them with clean ones, and Xin Yao followed him to an inner hall.
"What's the girl's last name?"
Xin Yao was strange in her heart, she never brought her surname when she introduced herself, and others were afraid that she would default to her as Xin's, why did this Imperial Doctor Wen ask like this?
"You're like your mother." Imperial Physician Wen guessed Xin Yao's doubts, but he didn't break it, after all, the orphans of the criminal ministers were still fugitives.
Although Imperial Physician Wen and Lian Feichi were not close friends, they also admired the former general. The General's Mansion used to often enter the palace to ask for pulses, and Imperial Physician Wen and Lian's family members were also familiar with it.
Lian Feichi's wife Su Yun is a well-known beauty, and beauties always make people can't help but take a few more looks, and Imperial Doctor Wen still has a deep impression of Su Yun's beauty.
Xin Yao's appearance is extremely similar to Su Yun, and even the posture of performing light skills is exactly the same as that of Mrs. Lian.
"You know who I am, and you should know what I mean." Xin Yao's words also stopped at the point.
"Are you looking for me to ask about the holy pearl?" Imperial Physician Wen was straightforward, he didn't ask more about how Xin Yao escaped from the doom back then, but he was afraid that if he asked, Xin Yao wouldn't say it.
Since the orphans of the deceased came to his house, he must have wanted to find some clues from the past, but how did Imperial Doctor Wen know that Xin Yao had no clue at this time, and he was also looking for him, a key person who knew the whole story.
There were not many people who knew about the Xianbei Holy Pearl before the emperor's birthday, but after the emperor's death, the rumors about the fatal Holy Pearl became more and more suspenseful, and Imperial Physician Wen was the person who really knew the inside story, and the emperor took it was not a holy pearl at all, but a poisonous pearl that was replaced like a fake.
Despite this, Imperial Physician Wen's attitude was the same as that of the Manchu Dynasty, and they would rather be suspicious of Tuoba Wanlie than convinced of Lian Feichi's loyalty.
"What holy pearl, you said that Xianbei holy pearl?" Xin Yao only heard Aunt Jinrou mention the matter of the Xianbei Holy Pearl, and her aunt told her that the charges of the family were covetous, coveting the Holy Pearl, and attempting to rebel.
"You're not here to ask about the Holy Pearl, so what are you looking for me?" Imperial Physician Wen thought that Xin Yao had come to him to ask for clues about the symptoms of the first emperor's poisoning, but he didn't know that Xin Yao was looking for him because Xin Yao mistakenly suspected him of being a suspect in framing the Lian family.
"It's not a secret, the junior Xin Yao first came to Kyoto, and he had no clue about the family grievances, so he asked the seniors to talk about it in detail."
Xin Yao immediately felt deeply ashamed, embarrassed to bow her head, grateful to Imperial Physician Wen for treating her so honestly, she couldn't imagine that she would find the clues of the Holy Pearl here with Imperial Physician Wen, and what happened before the first emperor died.
