In the inner hall of "Puji Zhai".

"The little girl meets Li Daguan!"

Li Sanjian solved Gongsun Rouniang's troubles, so Gongsun Rouniang was very grateful.

"Rou Niang, you and I don't have to be so formal, why are you always so polite?" Li Sanjian said to Gongsun Rouniang with a smile.

"Great official, this is as it should be." Gongsun Rouniang pursed her lips and smiled: "The big officials always appear when the little girl is most embarrassed to solve problems for the slave family, and the little woman is grateful for this." ”

Gongsun Rouniang's parents died when she was young, she fell into the dust, and her life experience was relatively bleak, Li Sanjian took pity on her, so he did his best to take care of her in many aspects.

But the relationship between the two at this time is more awkward.

"Rou Niang, you are wrong, you think too highly of me." Li Sanjian shook his head when he heard this: "If you want to solve problems, with my current ability, I can only solve it for a while, but not for a lifetime, Rou Niang, do you understand?" ”

Once Gongsun Rouniang is targeted by the Duke of Wei, something will be wrong, just like a little sheep being targeted by a fierce beast, where else can she escape?

Sooner or later, Gongsun Rou Niang will fall into his hands.

And Li Sanjian can only protect her for a while, but not for a lifetime, the reason is that the prince of Wei is a relative of the emperor, Li Sanjian is also helpless about this, and Li Sanjian can't do nothing, so as to stay in the "Puji Zhai", right?

"The slave family understands." Gongsun Rouniang smiled sadly and said: "The little woman is like duckweed in the water, she can go wherever she floats, and she can't take care of much." ”

"Why don't you want to follow me to work for the government? Why is there such a show? After Li Sanjian sighed secretly, he looked at Gongsun Rouniang and asked.

Li Sanjian didn't consider including Rou Niang in the room, it's not that Li Sanjian is not lustful, Li Sanjian has already been a little moved by Chu Chu's moving Gongsun Rou Niang, and it's not that he dislikes her, and it's not her fault that she was sold into the courtyard since she was a child, the reason is that Li Sanjian is currently only a six-grade official in the imperial court, so he took a concubine again? Not to mention how to calm down the criticism of the ministers of the DPRK and China, according to Li Sanjian's current salary, he can't afford to raise it.

Besides, if Li Sanjian does this, what will Cai Rongxue and Wang Wen think? Especially Cai Rongxue, Li Sanjian couldn't see Cai Rongxue's uncomfortable appearance in his heart.

Li Sanjian still wants Gongsun Rouniang to be his "scribe", using her exquisite medical skills and one-handed autopsy to serve the government.

Li Sanjian then tried to make her a "supernumerary" of the government, so that she could get some money.

Gongsun Rouniang shook her head with a smile and said: "The big officials value the little woman so much, and the little woman is very moved, but after all, the slave family is a woman's family, how can she be an official of the government?" ”

In fact, this is just one of the reasons why Gongsun Rouniang is reluctant to be a scribe, and the main reason is that she is unwilling to follow Li Sanjian without explanation.

What is this? Is it mercy or what?

Sometimes Gongsun Rouniang didn't make it clear why she rejected Li Sanjian's proposal several times.

"Hey, in that case, I won't force you anymore." Li Sanjian said helplessly: "But you have to be more careful in the future, the medical hall is best left to others to take care of, and try not to show your head yourself." ”

"Thank you to the officials, the slave family knows." Gongsun Rouniang smiled and said to Li Sanjian: "The big officials are thirsty for talent, and there is one person in the slave family who can recommend them to the big officials." ”

"Huh? Who? Li Sanjian asked in surprise when he heard this.

"It's the guy in the store." Gongsun Rou Niang replied.

"The one who is upset?" Li Sanjian asked again.

"Exactly." Gongsun Rou Niang nodded.

"Hmmm... Who is he? How does it compare to you? Li Sanjian asked after a moment of silence.

"My great official!" At this time, the weather is close to winter, the weather has gradually become colder, although this is not the coldest time, the sky has not snowed, but there are still some braziers burned in the house, so Gongsun Rouniang hooked the charcoal fire in the charcoal pot with a fire hook, so that it burned vigorously, and thoughtfully put a small warm pot into Li Sanjian's arms and said with a smile: "Outside the sky, outsiders, the world is big, there are so many capable people, this person's ability is compared to the slave family, but it is not as good as it." ”

"Oh? Is it? Li Sanjian put his hands on the kettle, and suddenly felt much more comfortable, turned his head to look at Gongsun Rouniang and asked: "The person who can enter the girl's eyes should be very capable, who is this person?" ”

"His surname is Xu Shuwei, and he knows the words." Gongsun Rou Niang put a thick blanket on Li Sanjian's knee and said: "Zhenzhou Baisha people, he is a lifter, when he was eleven years old, his parents died of illness within 100 days, and he became an orphan, and his family was extremely difficult. After studying the scriptures hard, he went to Beijing to catch the exam, and participated in the Gengchen Science and Rite Department Examination this year, and the Gengchen Science and Rite Department Examination was the top student in the high school of the big official, but he was unfortunately lowered, hey, compared with the big officials, it is really a world of difference. ”

"Hehe, I don't know what you mean." Li Sanjian smiled when he heard this: "But this can be said to be a life like a long rope and the first scene, and the gains and losses are only in the evening." To put it simply, this is a person's life, which is destined by heaven and cannot be forced. ”

A person who is the first to raise the first place cannot mean that his articles are not good, he is not familiar with literature and science, his knowledge is shallow, etc., but it also depends on whether the chief examiners and even the emperor appreciate your articles.

Li Sanjian has a deep understanding of this, and he has also been the first, but when he is promoted again, he is a high school champion, and the key is in the chief examiner, the ruling of the court, and the emperor.

For Xu Shuwei's misfortune, Li Sanjian can only express deep regret.

"The big official is young, but he understands that life is like this, and the little woman is deeply impressed." Gongsun Rouniang praised Li Sanjian and then said: "Uncle Xu Weigong raised the first, because of his poor family background, even the entanglement of going to Beijing to catch the exam was pieced together by the neighbors, and he borrowed it, so he was exiled to the capital and could not return to the township. ”

"Well, how did you meet him?" is a poor scholar again, once the tribute is lowered, he will be so down, Li Sanjian is extremely unbearable when he hears this.

"One day he came to 'Puji Zhai', and the slave family saw that he knew a lot of medical science and his life experience was extremely pitiful, so they left him and asked him to help the slave family take care of the medical hall in 'Puji Zhai'." Gongsun Rou Niang replied when she heard this.

"Well, in that case, let him do something in the government first." Li Sanjian nodded.

At this time, Li Sanjian, as the "No. 2 person" of the Kaifeng Mansion, brought in one person as the official of the government, not too simple, almost a matter of one sentence.

Since he used to be a lifter, then it is expected that his articles should also be good, and he should be competent as a scribe, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"The slave family is grateful to the officials." Gongsun Rouniang suddenly smiled when she heard this, and thanked her after standing in front of Li Sanjian.

"Don't panic and thank me first." Li Sanjian looked at the face of Gongsun Rouniang, who was roasted red by the charcoal fire, and said with a smile: "This matter is for the sake of Gongsun Girl's face, otherwise there are many poor people in the world, and it is impossible for this official to take care of all of them." ”

"Hehe, thank you to the big officials for taking him in for looking at the thin noodles of the slave family." Gongsun Rouniang thanked her happily when she heard this.

How does Li Sanjian feel that Gongsun Rouniang is so concerned about this person? Even if you pity this person, you shouldn't ... So, right? Li Sanjian was secretly puzzled in his heart, looked up at Gongsun Rouniang and said: "Don't thank you first, this official came to 'Puji Zhai' today, and he also came with a request, this thank you came to thank you, and you will see the outside, if you want to say thank you, this official also wants to thank Gongsun Girl, Bi Lin's case, without the assistance of the girl, the case does not have to be handled so smoothly, but the result... The girl didn't get half of the benefits, and the official was extremely unhappy in his heart. ”

After the Bi Lin case, the court rewarded a lot of gold and silver, and Li Sanjian's officials were somewhat divided, and some of them were also born officials, but there was no Gongsun Rouniang, and Li Sanjian was extremely unhappy about this.

"The big officials take good care of the slave family on weekdays, and the slave family can be praised by the big officials, which is enough." Gongsun Rouniang smiled: "Also, didn't the big officials send a lot of money to the little girl?" Why should the big officials be so obsessed? ”

"You deserve it." Li Sanjian said with a smile.

"I don't know what the big officials are here for today?" Gongsun Rou Niang then asked.

"There are so many things in Kaifeng Mansion, compared to the girl who already knows about it." Li Sanjian replied when he heard this: "I recently tried a case, and there are some doubts in the case, so I came to consult Miss Gongsun, and this suspicion is 'Gu disease'." ”

"'Gu disease'?" Gongsun Rou Niang thought about it and said, "Can the big officials be more detailed?" ”

Li Sanjian nodded and retold the contents described in the case file.

"Listening to the words of the big officials, why does the slave family feel a little like a 'Gu worm' disease?" Gongsun Rou Niang said after thinking about it after listening to it; "The so-called 'Gu worm' disease is the worm in the abdomen, from the worm from the dish, this disease has existed since ancient times, but this disease is larger in the south, especially in Dongting, Poyang, and Taihu Lake every year, but it is rarely seen in the north, so the slave family is difficult to understand."

"The disease of 'Gu worms'?" Li Sanjian said happily when he heard this: "The girl is really extraordinary, I seem to have heard of this disease before, it seems that this matter is indeed strange." ”

"Don't thank me first, big officials." Gongsun Rouniang pursed her lips and smiled: "This disease is common in the south, and the slave family is from the north, so this disease is also hearsay. ”

"Oh, even the girl is hearsay, how is that good?" Li Sanjian said with a frown when he heard this.

"Don't worry, big officials!" Seeing this, Gongsun Rouniang said: "The slave family is from the north, but Xu Shuwei is an authentic southerner, looking for him to ask maybe... Maybe you can know. ”

"Good!" Li Sanjian said happily when he heard this: "Hurry up and invite him in, the official wants to see his ability." ”
