Chapter 356: He's a Good Official
Xu Jin and Zhao Quan entered the hall and sat down, Li Shizhen quickly made a cup of tea for each of them, and then retreated to the side and sat down to read "Thousand Words" seriously. This kind of children's enlightenment books, Xu Jin has not read them for a long time, so naturally he will not take them with him, but the residences prepared by the magistrate for the Qin Cha are very considerate, and there is a bright study, and the bookshelves in the study are full of books, among which the full set of imperial examinations is complete, which naturally includes this "Thousand Character Text" for children's enlightenment.
In the Ming Dynasty, the social status and treatment of doctors were not high, so Li Shizhen's father Li Yanwen was not happy for his son to follow his old path, he hoped that his son would study and participate in the imperial examination, and obtain fame and glory to his ancestors.
However, Li Shizhen likes to study medicine, and he is very talented in this area, such as the appearance and medicinal properties of certain herbs, he can remember them once, but his performance in schoolwork is mediocre, he is enlightened at the age of five, and he can't memorize more than 1,000 words when he is more than seven years old.
Despite the lack of interest in the imperial examination, in order not to disappoint his father, Li Shizhen still studied the scriptures and meanings of the articles, so he followed Xu Jin these days and recited the "Thousand Character Text" when he had time.
Zhao Quan glanced at Li Shizhen, who had a cuppy on his head, and said: "Brother Xu, this scholar is very clever, although he is young, he knows a lot, and even the poisonous mushroom like Huangquan umbrella is well known, which was unheard of before, and today is considered a long insight." ”
Xu Jin smiled and said: "Brother Zhao misunderstood, Xiao Lizi is not the official scholar, his father is Dr. Li Yanwen, a famous doctor in Qichun County, Guangqi, Hu, and he was born in a medical family, so Xiao Lizi is more familiar with herbal medicine. ”
"I see, no wonder!" Zhao Quan picked up the teacup and took a sip quietly, but a trace of imperceptible annoyance flashed in his eyes, the surname Xu is really fucking fateful.
Li Shizhen raised his head at this time and interjected: "The mushroom of Huangquan umbrella is relatively rare, my father and I went to the doctor for a year, and we only encountered one case of poisoning by mistake. ”
"Oh, did you save it?" Xu Jin asked subconsciously.
Li Shizhen shook his head: "I didn't save it, this kind of Huangquan umbrella is extremely toxic, when my father and I arrived, the villager had already lost his breath, and he was grinning, weird, and some villagers also said that the villager was hooked by the fox demon, it's really ridiculous!" ”
Zhao Quanxin said with palpitations: "Fortunately, Brother Xiao Li is here today, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, and it is better to eat less mushrooms." ”
Xu Jin nodded approvingly, and changed the topic: "Anyway, Brother Zhao's dart business seems to be quite big, and it has reached the boundary of Shandong." ”
Zhao Quan said calmly: "Generally, it is Shanxi, North Zhili, Henan, Shandong, South Zhili, no matter how far it is, it will not work, we do this business thanks to black and white to give face, otherwise we won't be able to play." Hehe, Brother Xu won't be disgusted by this. ”
Xu Jin smiled lightly: "Brother Zhao is serious, to do a big business, you naturally have to rely on personal connections, as long as the business is legitimate and legal." ”
Zhao Quan nodded and said: "This is natural, we have always been law-abiding, and we have never done business that violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"That's good, by the way, Brother Zhao has been staying in Fan County for some time, hasn't he picked up darts recently?"
Zhao Quan said with a calm expression: "We have just set up a branch in Yanzhou Mansion not long ago, and the business is still relatively light, but in the near future, there will be a big tea merchant who is preparing to go north to Xuanfu, Shanxi, and it is estimated that he will take the dart north." ”
"The big tea merchant of Xuanfu, is it called Wan Shen?" Xu Jin couldn't help but think of the tea merchants in the border towns who bought a large amount of black tea in Leadshan County.
Zhao Quan sighed and said strangely: "Brother Xu also knows Wan Yuanwai?" ”
Xu Jin nodded and smiled: "I met at the Chongyang Tea Market in Leadshan County, Jiangxi Province two years ago. ”
"Oh, I see, the tea business outside the country is very big, and every spring and autumn they go south to buy tea, but now the border is not very peaceful, and the Tatars keep coming. It is reported that the imperial court may close the border tea market, and if it really comes to this point, Wan Yuanwai may have to switch to other businesses. ”
Xu Jin and Zhao Quantian chatted for nearly half an hour, and found that this Zhao Quan was indeed very well-informed, with footprints all over the north, and he was also fluent in Tatar, chatting endlessly, and his eloquence was very good, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
However, this son was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the current situation of Da Ming, although he did not say it directly, Xu Jin still heard it. Of course, it's normal to be dissatisfied with society, and in modern times, there are not many angry young people who are dissatisfied with society, and most of their starting point is just to make the country better, so not all people who are distracted from current affairs are traitors and traitors, and it is even more nonsense to say that they are plotting to overthrow the country.
Xu Jin and Zhao Quanzheng were chatting, and at this time, Zou Laosan ran in sweating profusely and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, let's go, let's play rattan ball, Sister Bingbing is really good-looking." After speaking, he couldn't help but take Xu Jin's hand and run out of the door.
"Slow down, don't fall!" Xu Jin had to follow Zou Lao Sanxing out of the house.
Zhao Quan's eyes flashed, and he also followed Xu Jin out of the house.
At this time, Xue Bingxin was kicking the rattan ball in the yard, her slender figure was extremely flexible, and the two slender jade legs were continuously hooking, kicking, bumping, and sweeping, controlling the rattan ball like an arm and finger, like a snow butterfly fluttering among the flowers. Six idiots crowded around, clapping their hands vigorously and cheering.
Xue Bingxin's body is well proportioned, her body is as slim as a knife, her two jade legs are slender and symmetrical, her slender waist and hips, and her jade strands are bent.
"Hey!" Xue Bingxin suddenly screamed, kicked the rattan ball into the air, and then made a handsome backspin kick, the rattan ball slammed, and flew towards Xu Jin's face with a bang, and the strong wind hit his face!
Xu Jin was startled, murdered, hurriedly shrank his head, the rattan ball flew over the bun, Zhao Quan behind him jumped easily and bounced, and the rattan ball flew back to Xue Bingxin, who pushed it with his knees, and the rattan ball flew to Xiang's shoulder like an eye.
"Sister Bing, it's amazing!" Zou Da and the others clapped their hands vigorously.
"Miss Xue is good at kung fu!" Xu Jin also applauded.
Xue Bingxin shook her shoulders, flew the rattan ball in front of Xu Jin, tilted her chin slightly, and said with a little contempt: "Lord Xu, will you just hide?" ”
Xu Jin caught the rattan ball and frowned, this ice girl really seems to have an opinion about herself.
"Brother Xu, kick quickly, a man can't lose to a girl, it's not too embarrassing!" Seeing that Xu Jin didn't move, Zou Laosan couldn't help but say anxiously.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Third brother, Brother Xu won't play this!" ”
Zou Laosan's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "Brother Xu can't play...... Oh, it's okay, I'll teach you, it's easy! After saying that, he took the rattan ball and kicked it.
I saw Zou Laosan bouncing the ball, hooking the ball, dribbling the ball, and playing the ball, and he played quite numbly, and the rattan ball was just like being on his body, and all kinds of fancy actions were dazzling.
Xu Jin was a little dumbfounded, he really didn't expect this guy who looked demented to play rattan ball so well, I'm afraid that those top players in the future will not be able to do it, it really responds to the sentence: God closes a door, and will inevitably open a window for you. As long as you get it right, an idiot can become a genius.
"Brother Xu, do you see it? Give it a try! After performing it once, Zou Laosan stuffed the rattan ball into Xu Jin's arms, and said with an expectant face.
Xu Jin was embarrassed, but when he saw the mixed-race girl looking at him contemptuously, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, and coughed lightly: "Third child, it's not interesting to play like this, Brother Xu will teach you another way to play!" ”
The eyes of the six idiots lit up, and they nodded violently and said, "Okay, good!" ”
So, everyone played a five-on-five football game in the yard, and Xiao Lizi was also pulled to temporarily support the field.
The six idiots quickly fell in love with this fresh way of playing, running around the yard, shouting, and having fun. Xue Bingxin was originally very disdainful of this kind of rude and unskillful gameplay, but later she also played extremely devotedly.
After all, modern football can take the world by storm, and naturally it has its attractive charm.
At this time, Zhao Quan suddenly kicked the rattan ball towards Xu Jin, and shouted: "Brother Xu catches the ball!" ”
Xu Jin subconsciously jumped up and stopped the ball with his chest, leaned back slightly, and the mixed-race girl who was standing behind him hesitated, obviously she could have dodged, but she stood in place and didn't move, letting Xu Jin crash into her body.
"Oh!" The mixed-race girl snorted lightly, her left hand was protected in front of her chest, her right hand was raised and pressed the back of Xu Jin's head quickly, and a slender bee needle between her fingers was slightly exposed and retracted, and the movement was extremely fast, and it could not be caught by the naked eye at all.
It's normal to have a little physical contact when playing football, Xu Jin didn't care, and continued to kick the rattan ball to Zou Laosan, who shook the ball a few times and shot into the opponent's "goal".
"Come in, go in......" Zou Laosan rolled on the ground excitedly.
"Come again, come again!" Boss Zou shouted unconvinced.
At this moment, Jin Biao, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, hurriedly walked in, his face a little ugly.
Seeing this, Xu Jin arched his hand at Zhao Quan and said, "Brother Zhao, Miss Xue, I'm going to be absent for a while." ”
Zhao Quan said with a smile: "Brother Xu's business is important, and after bothering for so long, it is time for us to leave." ”
Xu Jin didn't hold back when he heard this, and politely sent the two out of the house.
Zhao Quan and Xue Bingxin left Xu Jin's residence and walked down the street for a while, the former slowed down and asked urgently, "Bingxin, did you get it just now?" ”
Xue Bingxin shook her head apologetically, Zhao Quan's face couldn't help but sink, and he frowned and said, "Why didn't you do such a good opportunity just now?" ”
Xue Bingxin bit her lip lightly: "Senior Brother Zhao, I'...... I think Xu Jin is a good official and shouldn't be killed! ”
A trace of anger flashed in Zhao Quan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Bingxin, you have only seen him a few times, how do you know that he is a good official?" ”
