Chapter 156: Recruitment

As a result of a hangover, the mouth is bitter and the throat is dry, and the head is swollen. But as soon as you open your eyes, when a loved one brings a bowl of hot decanting soup to you, you will feel that these discomforts are actually nothing.

Guo Chengsi was in a very good mood, he took the sobering soup and drank it all, and then smashed his mouth and said with a smile: "Is there anything else?" Another bowl. ”

Zhong Ziyuan glanced at him, took the empty bowl and handed it to Rong Xi's hand, and said, "Did you hear it, your family still wants to drink, and then go and serve another bowl." ”

"Great!" Rongxi took the bowl and walked away with a grin.

After Rong Xi left, Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Have you inquired clearly, how is my father?" ”

Guo Chengsi comforted: "There is no problem on your father's side for the time being, I heard that after he massaged the Queen Mother's acupressure, the Queen Mother's headache has indeed been relieved a lot." It's just that the emperor has decreed that if the queen mother can't recover, he can't leave Cining Palace. If you want to get out safely, it will take some time. ”

As he spoke, she recited Amitabha. After he finished speaking, she closed her eyes slightly, clasped her hands together and said: "The gods and Buddhas are full of gods, but they must bless the Queen Mother to be able to eliminate all illnesses and live a long life." After my father leaves the palace safely, I will definitely go to Fahua Temple to reshape your golden body. ”

Guo Chengsi smiled: "Don't worry, whether it's the queen mother or your father, it will be fine." ”

"It's better to be like this." Zhong Ziyuan, who was temporarily holding Buddha's feet, put down his hand and said with a wry smile: "Now I really don't know what to do except pray to God and worship Buddha." ”

Zhong Ziyuan asked curiously, "By the way, why were you drunk last night?" A misunderstanding between me and Prince Rui. Did you clarify anything about him?

Guo Chengsi showed a hint of apology in his eyes, he reached out to hold her hand, and whispered, "I'm sorry." He was in a very bad mood last night. I couldn't bear to look at it, and I couldn't open my mouth. Seeing Zhong Ziyuan's face tightened, he hurriedly said: "You can rest assured, in a few days, the Queen Mother's condition will be stable, and his mood will be better." At that time, I will definitely find him as soon as possible to clear up the misunderstanding. ”

Zhong Ziyuan sighed lowly: "That's all. Then she smiled bitterly and said, "Obviously a misunderstanding that can be explained clearly in just a few words, why is it so difficult to come to us?" I didn't even have a chance to speak. ”

Guo Chengsi saw her head down. Pouting, obviously unhappy. His heart softened, and his hand holding her became tighter and tighter, and there was a very soft and warm smile in his eyes when he looked at her. It was like a warm and bright sunshine, which suddenly enveloped her.

Gazing at this hot gaze, she couldn't help but smile shyly, and the sweet smile was like a delicate flower in early spring in his eyes. Gorgeous and splendid. He couldn't take his eyes off it. She was embarrassed and said coquettishly: "Why do you keep looking at me? ”

He and her fingers are interlocked, like a concentric knot that cannot be broken, and life and life will never be separated. His smile was gentle but firm, and he finally spoke: "I really want to look at you like this every day, hold your hand, not afraid of wind and snow, and walk all the way." ”

Zhong Ziyuan also looked up. Quietly looked back at him. His eyebrows are soothing, and his instrument is lofty. The noble Qinghua who couldn't hide it all over his body only stared at her stupidly. She smiled lowly, lowered her eyes to look at the hands of the two of them, and said gently: "I wish to hold the hand of the son and grow old with the son." ”

In the humble barracks, the atmosphere becomes charming and intoxicating. However, an extremely discordant old voice sounded outside: "General Wu Xian, is Doctor Jia here?" ”

The charming atmosphere in the house was immediately swept away, and Guo Chenghe, who had been spoiled for a good thing, couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "This early in the morning, why did Zhao Yiming come to the door of my room to shout ghosts?" Didn't he always look down on you? Ignore him, he won't dare come in if I don't say anything anyway. ”

"Don't mess around, he wants to invite me to go and see Zheng Laoqi's injuries together." Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly withdrew his hand and responded in a loud voice: "I'm here, Doctor Zhao wait a while, I'll come out immediately." ”

She smiled and said to Guo Chenghe: "It's not that Dr. Zhao looks down on me, in the past, he just thought that I couldn't do things well without hair." After a deep conversation that day, I felt that he had a good thing that others did not have, that is, he was not conformist, had a certain spirit of innovation, and was willing to accept new things. I just want to find an opportunity to pass on this debridement suture to him, and it would be good if I could teach him, after all, in the barracks, the most common is all kinds of knife wounds and sword wounds, and this debridement suture will play a vital role. ”

Guo Chengsi said curiously: "You pass on this debridement and suturing technique, aren't you afraid that the envoy of the Zhong Yuan will blame you when he finds out?" ”

In this era, no matter what industry it is, it pays attention to a inheritance, father to son, master to apprentice, just hide and tuck, and pass it on from generation to generation. After all, a good craft is sometimes a person's or even a big family's capital to settle down and carry forward.

Guo Chengsi had seen Zhong Ziyuan's debridement and suturing technique, which was very strange and magical, and he thought it must be the Zhong family's secret technique. Unexpectedly, Zhong Ziyuan actually planned to sprinkle it like cabbage. That's why he was worried that Zhong Ziyuan would be blamed by Zhong Jinchuan.

"Don't worry." Zhong Ziyuan smiled heartily: "It is the duty of a doctor to treat the sick and save people, and the more doctors who can perform debridement and suturing, the more injured people will benefit from it." My father would only be happy to find out and would never blame me. Okay, no more, I'm leaving. With that, she neatly picked up the medicine box and strode out.

Guo Chengsi smiled and watched her go out, and he could faintly hear her greetings with Zhao Yiming outside the door: "Doctor Jia, this is Doctor Xiao, like me, he also came back from Juyongguan." He went to see Zheng Laoqi last night and was also very impressed with your debridement sutures. It's a pity that the old man also listened to a half-understanding that day, and it is difficult to describe and understand, I wonder if you are willing to give me another advice? ”

"Hello Dr. Xiao."

"Hehe, Doctor Jia is polite."

"If Dr. Xiao wants to know anything, just ask, I must know everything."

"Great, Dr. Jia, why?"

The sound grew more and more inaudible until it was completely inaudible. Guo Chengsi retracted his mind, but found that the corners of his mouth had been in a weird upward state. He couldn't help but pat his forehead and fell back on the couch.

A moment later. Rong Xi carefully lifted the corner of the curtain and looked inside. Coldly, a cowhide boot stained with muddy water smashed head-on.

Rongxi subconsciously reached out and caught the boots and quietly stuck out his tongue. said with a smile: "Why did Dr. Jia leave?" I deliberately stayed in the room for half an hour. ”

Guo Chengsi said lazily: "I said why didn't you come back for a long time, it turned out that you were looking for a place to be lazy." ”

"Lord Shizi, you are wronged!" Rong Xi hurriedly entered the room, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that I am wrong?" I'll be sure to come back early next time I do this. ”

"Splash monkey, get out" Guo Chengsi scolded with a smile, and unceremoniously raised his leg and kicked him gently

The following days were busy, and Guo Chengsi stayed in the Fengtai camp every day to train soldiers and horses. There are few opportunities to go out. Zhong Ziyuan is either busy with the production and sales of pills every day, or teaching a few military doctors who are interested in debridement and suturing, and he has to take time to visit Liu Yucian in Liufu every once in a while. The opportunity for the two to meet is extremely rare. Sometimes it's hard to see the above, and I can't say a few words.

On this day, Zhong Ziyuan turned to the gate of Liu's mansion again, and this was the fifth time she came. The first few times, she wanted to find Liu Yuqing or the girl next to her, but she couldn't enter. Every time, he was dismissed by the porter with various excuses. Even if it's stuffed with silver, it's useless. It seems that this time Mrs. Liu has made up her mind to completely isolate her from Liu Yuqing like a plague.

This time, she also came with a fluke mentality, always thinking that maybe she could meet at the gate of the house. Who knows that today's Liu Mansion is not the same as in the past. The door of Liu's mansion, which is usually closed, is actually wide open at this moment, and the lights at the door are full of joy, and there are large red satin colored balls on the thick pillars. The bluestone steps were cleared of snow and covered with fireworks waiting to be set off.

Through the wide open middle door, you can faintly see that the inside of Liu's Mansion is also carefully arranged, and the servants who come and go are all dressed in new clothes. The face was beaming.

Although it was freezing cold, the outside of Liu's mansion was still crowded with people waiting to see the excitement. Zhong Ziyuan's heart moved. Hurriedly pulled a passer-by who was watching the excitement and asked, "Brother Tai, do you know what happy events are there in Mrs. Liu's mansion today?" ”

The passer-by smiled and said, "This is the biggest thing in Chang'an City, and the little brother doesn't know?" Today is a good day for Prince Rui's Mansion to go to Mrs. Liu's Mansion to collect the expedition. And voila! The meeting will be a big eye-opener. ”

"I really didn't notice, but today is the day of recruitment." Zhong Ziyuan laughed dryly.

Cardamom muttered in her ear, "Childe, what should we do?" Are you still looking for Miss Liu? Just now I seemed to see Caixia, standing by the shadow wall. ”

Zhong Ziyuan looked up at the few little guys at the door who were staring at the door and looking around, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, it's all at the stage of recruitment." We don't know how to live and die at this time, and we're really going to smash the field, let's go! ”

Who knew that more and more people were gathering, and even if their masters and servants wanted to leave, it was not a simple matter. Suddenly, someone ran over from a distance, and he smiled as he ran: "Coming, coming, Prince Rui has come to recruit in person."

The crowd that had been waiting for a long time immediately became in a commotion, and the little guys who had already stretched their necks and watched immediately lit the firecrackers on the ground neatly. Facing the earth-shattering sound of firecrackers, the red paper skin flying all over the sky, and the choking green smoke, countless men with red silk tied around their waists, carrying one after another, the red gold lacquer salute that was almost endless, appeared in people's sight. The soft red silk ball on the gift is even more vivid against the background of the surrounding snow, almost dazzling everyone's eyes.

Zhong Ziyuan's entire attention was only focused on Zhu Yi, who was in the lead. He rode a handsome horse, dressed in a glittering prince's costume, wearing a gold silk crown, a hollow carved dragon white jade belt at the waist, and a few pieces of fine jade hanging down with a clang. He has an elegant temperament and a smile on his face. The only thing that seemed a little stupid was that he was actually holding a pair of cross-necked geese wrapped in red paper in his hands.

Behind him, there are more than a dozen noble sons, either wearing scarlet official uniforms or princely clothes, who should have been pulled by Zhu Yi to help support the scene. Zhong Ziyuan was shocked to find that Zhu Fei was actually wearing a golden embroidered auspicious cloud pattern clothes, and he was proudly mixed in it.

Mrs. Liu led several sons, children of the clan, and acquaintances to wait at the door early. The huge recruitment team finally came to the door of Liu's mansion, and the housekeeper of Liu's mansion began to sing loudly at the door, and the eldest son of Liu's mansion commanded the little servants to carry the salute in the same way.

Every time the butler sings, it will cause a sensation in the crowd, as well as a sigh of admiration. In addition to the regular three sacrifices and six rituals, countless treasures and jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, silk and satin, and delicacies from the mountains and seas almost dazzle people's eyes.

The people outside couldn't help but discuss: "Good guy, it can be regarded as an eye-opener." Look at those few stalks of red gold Ruyi, golden and full of weight. There is also the white jade Guanyin, which is three feet high, delicate and soft, and solemn, it must not be an imitation, fortunately, it is the young lady of the Taifu Mansion who is the princess. If it were an ordinary family background, so many good things would have provoked a lot of red-eyed thieves and thieves to come to the door. ”

"I'm afraid this Prince Rui has moved the entire palace, right? Next time, if you hire a side concubine or something, I don't know if it's still not like this. ”

"You know, Prince Rui's willingness to spend such a large sum of money proves that he is extremely satisfied with the future princess. In the future, the husband and wife will be in deep love, and the piano will be harmonious. How can those side concubines and concubines be compared to the dignified princesses?"

Zhong Ziyuan was squeezed into the crowd and could not move, and was forced to listen to an ear of gossip. The more she listened, the more she didn't know what it was like. In short, worry, fear, and panic can't describe her mood at the moment.

Mrs. Liu stroked her beard and stood on the steps with a smile on her face. Zhu Yi also stood beside him, smiling at those sons who were prominent and invincible in the past, all of them honestly saluted him one by one under the leadership of the Liu family's celebrants.

After Zhu Fei patiently saluted Mrs. Liu, he stood aside boredly. He was just a trickster, and he was temporarily pulled by Zhu Yi to strengthen his momentum. Now that the things had been delivered, he had no interest in the next feast.

His eyes swept around the crowd boredly. Suddenly, I don't know what he saw, his eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "Stinky boy, I actually like to join in the fun." ”

Zhu Fei took a big stride, swaggered through the crowded gifts, and then walked towards the crowd on the side. The people who gathered to watch the bustle were naturally in awe when they saw his luxurious clothes, so the crowd gradually dispersed in front of him.

A boy in a pale blue brocade robe was trying to squeeze behind the crowd with his head bowed and his back to him. A hint of naughtiness flashed in Zhu Fei's bright eyes, he stretched out his arm suddenly, grabbed the collar at the back of the young man's neck, and said with a smile: "Little thief, where are you running?"
