Chapter Thirty-Four: Freezing Three Feet, Not a Day's Cold
Three days later, it was the day of Dabi, Xia Xiang, Zhang Hou and Shen Bao, who closed the door to thank the guests, did not go out of the door, and were all reviewing their homework. In order to avoid Xia Xiang being disturbed again, Xiao Wu stood at the door with his hands on his shoulders and acted as a door god, but unfortunately, he had a solemn face and tried to pretend to be fierce, but because he looked too non-vicious and nondescript, Shi Er laughed at it.
Xiao Wu ignored Shi Er's ridicule and remained at the door. In the past few days, Cao Shujun has come to disturb Xia Xiang twice a day, so that Xia Xiang has no time to "learn and learn", what else can compare to the big thing of taking the exam? In a fit of rage, he turned Cao Shujun away when he came for the eighth time.
Cao Shujun didn't come to Xia Xiang because he was too idle, he had something important to discuss with Xia Xiang. The production of the medicine bed and medicine chair has been completed, Xia Xiang drew a picture, and he can make it according to the picture, and the production of the medicine bed and medicine chair is relatively simple. Then again, although the production is simple, it has never been thought of before, if it weren't for Xia Xiang's whimsy, the medicine bed medicine chair would not have come out.
Even Jin Jia, who has always been arrogant, although he still spoke coldly to Xia Xiang in the face, he was full of praise behind his back, claiming that Xia Xiang was a genius in the world, and he must accept Xia Xiang as an apprentice.
After the medicine bed and medicine chair are formed, let Cao Yongguo use them first. Jin Jia has found out that the emperor's handling of official documents and sleeping places are indeed on the central vein - Jin Jia searched the classics, and finally knew that the central vein is divided into warm veins and cold veins, and there is no doubt that the central vein that runs through Cao's mansion, Wenfu and the palace is the cold vein.
As a physician, Jin Jia has the duty to advise on the emperor's health. He met the emperor directly and asked the emperor to sleep in a different place, the reason was naturally that it was conducive to the emperor's recovery. The emperor is only over forty this year, and after he recovers from his illness, it is normal for him to reign for more than ten years.
The emperor trusted Jin Jia very much, listened to Jin Jia's words, and moved to another place.
No longer suffer from the cold of the cold veins day and night, and then have medicine beds and medicine chairs to use day and night, within three months, the cold in the body will be completely expelled. Jin Jia came to Cao's Mansion every day to supervise the progress of Cao Shujun's project. As soon as the medicine bed and chair were completed, he couldn't wait for Cao Yongguo to try it.
Frozen three feet, not a day and a cold, Cao Yongguo's illness is the same as the emperor, it is a long-term cold disease, and it is impossible to cure it once and for all. Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread.
After Cao Yongguo was tried, there was no significant reduction in symptoms. Although it was also within Jin Jia's expectations, he was anxious, and hurriedly came to the Quanyou Inn to see Xia Xiang, wanting to hear what Xia Xiang had to say. Xia Xiang only said that he only knew medical science, and had no experience in practicing medicine, so he didn't know whether the medicine bed and medicine chair were useful or not, and how long it would take for them to take effect.
Jin Jia knew Xia Xiang's answer, but he still didn't give up, and he had to say a few words to Xia Xiang to make him feel relieved, Xia Xiang had to say some good things against his will, such as the effect of bringing the dead back to life. When I heard the cold veins of Jin Jia again, I knew that there was nothing strange in the world. But if you think about it deeply, the human body also has the Ren Pulse and the Middle Channel, not to mention the heaven and earth? Life between heaven and earth will inevitably have the same root and origin as heaven and earth.
As soon as Jin Jia talked about medical skills and the way of the five elements of yin and yang, he gushed endlessly, and Xiao Wu had no choice but to drive Jin Jia away. Unexpectedly, Jin Jia's front foot left, and Cao Shujun's back foot came again.
Cao Shujun is now obsessed with the emblem of good times - the emblem is said casually by Xia Xiang, whether the little lady who is always in the good times is appreciated, it is not known - at this time, he is bent on the emblem, not to get the love of the little lady who is always in the good times, just to satisfy himself.
Several times he came to the inn, Cao Shujun would sit for a long time, just to discuss a detail with Xia Xiang repeatedly. Cao Shujun not only annoyed Xiao Wu, but also angered Zhang Hou and Shen Bao, the two of them were already quite contemptuous of strange tricks and tricks, so they couldn't help but blast Cao Shujun out.
Xia Xiang could only smile and let Cao Shujun come to the inn later.
In this way, it was quiet for a day or two.
Zhang Hou and Shen Bao also got Wen Changju's anthology out of nowhere, and the two studied it and came to the conclusion that Wen Changju admired the ancient style and opposed the plain style. The two each wrote an article, judged each other, and finally came to the conclusion that Zhang Hou's penmanship was more in line with Wenchang's literary style.
"Brother Xia, why are you so calm? Do you know that the threshold of Wenfu is about to be broken, I heard that this year's Zhigong Ju is Wenchangju, how many scholars come to visit, hand over famous posts, and ask for directions. Although the two of us didn't come to the door, I couldn't help but practice handwriting first, but you didn't even take a look at Wenchang's anthology, you can really calm down. At lunch, Shen Bao saw that Xia Xiang still looked leisurely and complacent, and couldn't help but praise again and again, "Calm and relaxed, with the style of a general." ”
"Brother Xia is only able to learn, and the Jinshi in the examination is the proper meaning of the question, but if it is the champion of high school, I am afraid that it is still a few points behind, the champion is hopeless, and the Jinshi is worry-free, so he naturally does not need to worry." Zhang Hou self-righteously analyzed Xia Xiang's psychology and smiled smugly, "Those scholars who came to visit were all turned away, and they didn't want to think about it, Wen Shangshu has been an official in Beijing for many years, how can he not understand the truth of avoiding suspicion?" What's more, the current imperial examination implements vague names and transcriptions, even if Wen Shangshu appreciates you incomparably, he doesn't know which test paper is your handwriting, how can he cheat for personal gain? It's really naïve and ridiculous. ”
"That's right, but let me ask you, why was Master Yang investigated for favoritism?" Shen Bao smiled, his tone mocking, "Speaking of which, isn't it because Bachelor Yang is not attached to the Third Prince that he was taken down?" Why did Wen Shangshu be named as a tribute to the Zhigongju? It's nothing more than that Wen Shangshu has won the hearts of the three princes. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the power of the three princes is becoming more and more powerful, and he almost single-handedly covers the sky and the opposition. ”
"Why did the third prince replace Master Yang, Brother Xia, I don't understand, you can answer one or two for me." Zhang Hou saw that Xia Xiang didn't show his thoughts no matter what he and Shen Bao said, so he intended to take the test for Xia Xiang, "The third prince can't wait to start with this year's big exam, is it possible that he really thinks that the emperor can pass on to him?" ”
Xia Xiang smiled indifferently, raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said with a slow smile: "In order to prevent the chief examiner and the Jinshi candidates from becoming the same door, Taizu will personally take the entrance examination by the emperor when he arrives at the palace, and after that, all the people who are in rank have become protégés of the Son of Heaven. No matter who is the Son of Heaven or who is the examiner, I just bury my head in the exam, and if I fail the exam, it is because I don't have enough knowledge. I passed the exam, and I am a protégé of the Son of Heaven. Protégé of the Son of Heaven, do you understand? ”
Zhang Hou and Shen Bao naturally understood Xia Xiang's implication, Xia Xiang only had to read the sages and sages, no matter who the Son of Heaven was, the Son of Heaven always needed a protégé, he just had to be his protégé. It is also a prudent policy to respond to all changes with the same.
Of course, Xia Xiang knows in his heart, he is a student of Li Dingshan, Li Dingshan offended the three princes, if the three princes really inherit the throne as the brother and brother of Taizong and the precedent of Taizong, Li Dingshan and him can save their lives, even if he is a high school jinshi, he has no chance to be an official.
If this is the case, he will retreat to save the people of Li with medical skills, not to be safe, but also to help the world.
Xia Xiang's answer couldn't satisfy Zhang Hou, Zhang Hou didn't do it, he grabbed Xia Xiang's sleeve and said something, but he was pulled aside by Shen Bao, Shen Bao smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, don't disturb Brother Xia to review his homework, the champion is a dispute between you and me, Brother Xia has a humble style, why don't I make a bet, if I win the champion, what will you do?" What will happen to me if you win the top prize? ”
"Interesting, interesting." Zhang Hou's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "If I win the champion, you must obey me from now on, I go east, you can't go west." If you win the top prize, I will worship you as a teacher, and then go back to my hometown, study hard for another three years, and start again. ”
"If I win the champion, it's up to me to decide, and you can't say it." Shen Bao successfully diverted Zhang Hou's attention, and let Zhang Hou jump into the pit he dug unconsciously, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, "Do you dare to gamble?" ”
"Why don't you dare? You won't be able to win the top prize anyway. The corners of Zhang Hou's mouth flashed with a contemptuous sneer, "Whether this year's examiner is Yang Student or Wen Shangshu, I am the champion." Say, "What will I do if you win the top prize?" ”
"I won the champion, you must obey me from now on, I go west, you can't go east." Shen Bao intended to learn from Zhang Hou's words, and deliberately deepened his tone, in addition to the yin and yang weirdness, he also teased a little, "Brother Zhang, if you don't have the confidence to win the champion, forget it, don't be reluctant." Your champion robe fits me perfectly, how much silver did it cost? I am doubly grateful. ”
Zhang Hou laughed angrily, put his hands behind his back, looked up to the sky and smiled, and rushed out of the door: "Will I fail the exam?" Joke, big joke! It's up to you, if you win the champion, I will listen to what you say, I'm afraid you won't succeed? ”
Looking at Zhang Houyi's figure without hesitation, Shen Bao laughed: "Brother Xia, Brother Zhang is stubborn, and he is really cute." ”
Xia Xiang couldn't laugh, and was slightly worried and uneasy: "Brother Shen, don't you think Brother Zhang is too paranoid sometimes?" With his overly conceited character, and his stubbornness that he doesn't care about his own safety with the hanging inscription, if he is in power in the future, he will definitely fight against the same party! ”
"I don't think so." Shen Bao shook his head and smiled, "Brother Xia is too prejudiced, although Brother Zhang is stubborn, he is not stubborn. Although conceited, he is not arrogant. I really admire his courage to hang the inscription in the air, and he has the courage to be the first in the world. The self-confidence of being a champion in high school is a recognition of one's own talents. Brother Zhang is so interesting, how can the party fight against differences? No, definitely not. ”
Xia Xiang smiled silently, didn't say anything more, arguing was useless, it was better to be silent, he looked up at the window.
Shen Bao excused himself to review his homework and left, but Xia Xiang didn't stay.
The Quanyou Inn is neither as comfortable, spacious and luxurious as the inn where the good times are always there, nor as wide as the inn where the good times are always there, but there is one point, the whole inn is deep and long, and there are towering trees with deep roots and leafy leaves in the courtyard, as well as mottled moss and creepers, which create a quiet and quiet atmosphere when the midsummer is about to pass and the early autumn is coming.
Xia Xiang's gaze stayed on the tallest plane tree in the courtyard.
The sycamore tree is the most common tree species in Shangjing and can be found everywhere. Together with elm, locust and willow, it is a northern tree species. The wide leaves of the sycamore shade the sky and the sun, sprinkling coolness on the yard. The acquaintance on the tree is hissing hard, and as soon as the summer passes, the autumn dew comes to an end.
At this time, it is the last carnival of their lives.
Xia Xiang's eyes were confused, thinking of his first acquaintance with Li Dingshan and Xiao Jia, thinking of fleeing Zhongshan Village in a hurry, and thinking of a series of things that happened after entering Beijing, as if he was in a different world. I wonder if my mother, who is hundreds of miles away, is okay? Where did Li Dingshan and Xiao Jia go? And is Xia Lai and Xia going safe and sound?
In just over a month, countless accidents have followed, Xia Xiang can still be so calm, and he can take the exam with peace of mind, which is already very good. If Zhang Hou and Shen Bao knew his experience, they might be impressed by his calmness.
Xia Xiang didn't know why the third prince wanted to kill Li Dingshan, and he didn't know why Li Dingshan was not allowed by the third prince, but what he could guess was that the third prince was plotting to succeed to the throne.
If the third prince wants to inherit the great treasure, the eldest prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince will definitely not be reconciled. In order to fight for the throne, it is not uncommon for brothers to kill each other and fight between fathers and sons, not to mention that the emperor has no children under his knees, who can inherit the throne, all in the emperor's thoughts.
If the emperor is well, the battle for succession will be a different situation. Xia Xiang didn't expect that he had come up with a medicine bed and medicine chair out of kindness to help Cao Yongguo cure his illness, but Jin Jia expected that if the medicine bed and medicine chair were effective, he would dedicate them to the emperor. Whether the medicine bed and medicine chair really have a miraculous effect, Xia Xiang has no bottom in his heart. He can only be said to be rough in medical skills, not proficient, and far inferior to Jin Jia is master realm. But whether the medicine bed and medicine chair are good or bad, it is not a good thing for him.
If the medicine bed and medicine chair are ineffective, the emperor will be angry and will be condemned to Jin Jia. Jin Jia will inevitably say that the medicine bed medicine chair is his masterpiece, and he will also be implicated in it. The emperor was furious, and his corpse was thousands of miles away, and his life could not be saved.
If the medicine bed and medicine chair are effective, the emperor can recover and continue to be in charge of the country, and the emperor will be happy and will be rewarded. It is a good thing that he has been rewarded, but he will be disliked by the third prince and other princes who are interested in inheriting the throne. The emperor is more than forty years old, and it is not impossible for him to reign for another ten years. Among the princes, the eldest prince is nearly fifty years old, and I am afraid that he will not be able to wait for ten years. How old is the third prince, ten years later, it is nearly fifty, and there is not much time. The fourth prince is twenty-eight years old, and the fifth prince is the youngest, twenty-two years old, so if the emperor has another ten years of destiny, only the fourth prince and the fifth prince are left who can inherit the throne.
Having said that, if he can treat the emperor, Xia Xiang is naturally willing, so he will not care about what others think. However, there is no harm in thinking about things more, and having more calculations in everything is also conducive to taking the next step, just like he wants to know the little lady who is always in the good times, in fact, it is not to make money, although he is not light on business, his ambition is to benefit one party for the first term of office, not to enrich the world.
Xia Xiang is for Xiao Jia.
Xiao Jia has the ability to do business, and after getting along for more than three years, Xia Xiang admires Xiao Jia's cleverness very much. Mother supported the family by farming and laundry, and after Li Dingshan and Xiao Jia came, the family was even more poor and struggling. Although there are summer and summer to pay the tuition fees to subsidize the family, it is still not enough. Xiao Jia came up with a way, she helped the villagers repair and modify jewelry, and her mother helped the villagers repair clothes.
No one thought that Xiao Jia and a female streamer would actually repair and modify the craftsmanship of jewelry. That's not all, she is a skilled and thoughtful designer who can transform old pieces of jewelry into new and unique ones, and can also repair broken and damaged pieces and make them look like new. For a while, there was an endless stream of door-to-door visitors.
If this is the case, it is only because Xiao Jia has craftsmanship rather than business acumen. What is amazing is that Xiao Jia repairs and modifies jewelry for people, and does not charge a fee, but replaces it with food, cloth or other household utensils to barter. The villagers did not have a high income and were reluctant to spend money, but they were not stingy with the food, cloth and living utensils they produced.
Needless to say, food can be handed over to the mother's family. Cloth and daily necessities, Xiao Jia and her mother worked together to make cloth into clothes, and the daily necessities were slightly processed, and then let people take them to the county seat to sell. Although it doesn't make much money, it is also an extra income, which is enough to make ends meet.
This incident gave Xia Xiang an understanding of Xiao Jia's business acumen, and therefore determined that Xiao Jia would definitely be able to make great achievements in business in the future. As soon as he entered the capital, he saw the inns, tea shops, restaurants, and so on, and immediately remembered that the owner of the good times was a little lady, and Xiao Jia was not necessarily much worse than her.
Xia Xiang is confident enough to believe that his idea can impress the little lady who is always in good times, but the question is, he is about to pave the first step for Xiao Jia, where is Xiao Jiaren? With Xiao Jia's business acumen and Cao Shujun's talent, the two will join forces to achieve great things.
Don't care too much about it for now, it's not too late to wait for the big competition, Xia Xiang retracted his thoughts, his eyes fell back to the book, and read aloud: "Dezhi, Zejia to the people; Unwilling, self-cultivation is seen in the world. If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will be good to the world. ”
After reading a few sentences, I suddenly heard a crisp woman's voice outside the door, the voice was tactful and pleasant, clear as a sweet spring.
"Xia Xiang Xia Langjun, but here?"
It is tactful and pleasant, but it is like a sweet spring on a cold day in three winters, cold to the bone!
