Chapter 41: An unexpected encounter

Cao Shuli's face was slightly red, and she whispered shyly: "Lang Jun, don't talk nonsense, I just came to thank Xia Langjun for saving his life." ”

"The grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, is it a promise made by body, or is it repaid by being a cow or a horse in the next life?" Although Shen Bao was also amazed by Cao Shuli's beauty, he would not flirt a few words like Zhang Hou, but it was the age of young Mu Ai, and it was inevitable to laugh a few words when he saw the beauty.

Cao Shuli didn't know what Shen Bao had to say, so she smiled: "What's the difference?" ”

"Naturally, it's very different." Shen Bao's eyebrows danced, his hands danced, and he was almost about to jump up, "If you can't repay your wish and make a promise, it is the lady who falls in love with Langjun." If you say that you want to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay, the implication is that Lang Jun is too ugly, and he would rather be a cow and horse in the next life than a wife in this life......"

"Sigh......" Cao Shuli's face was like a glow, and she couldn't help laughing, "Xia Langjun saved my father's life, presumably my father can only be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay him." ”

Shen Bao laughed: "Father's debt and daughter's repayment, the next life is too far away, it's better to only talk about this life." The sage said, "I don't know life, but I don't know death?" ”

Cao Shuli smiled indifferently: "I was taught." Those who live in benevolence and righteousness, self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and those who die in their own way are also righteous. ”

Shen Bao stood stunned on the spot, scratching his head with his hand, although Cao Shuli did not answer his question directly, but firmly expressed his heart through the words of the sage, he stroked his palm and applauded: "A good sentence 'Those who die in their own way, are also fateful', strange woman, strange woman, Brother Xia, if you don't marry this woman, I should sacrifice my life to marry her." ”

Xia Xiang replied to Shen Bao's don't mess around, bowed to Cao Shuli, and then pressed Jin Jia and said, "Mr. Jin Jia, what is going on, you say it first, don't panic." ”

"Where is the old man panicking? The old man is as immobile as a pine, calm as a mountain. Jin Jiaqiang calmed himself and pretended to be calm, but he was only reserved for a moment, and then he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, pulled Xia Xiang to the side, and whispered, "Strange things, strange things." After using your medicine bed and medicine chair, Cao Gong has seen the effect, and his symptoms have been reduced a lot, and he can now walk around in bed. In another month, even if it can't be cured, it will recover. It's just that for some reason, after the emperor used the medicine bed and medicine chair, the symptoms did not alleviate at all, Xia Langjun, do you know what the reason is? ”

Zhang Hou, Shen Bao, Cao Shujun and others knew that Jin Jia had something to talk to Xia Xiang alone, so they would not follow without knowing the proportions, and only Cao Shuli followed closely behind Xia Xiang.

Cao Shuli is naturally not ignorant, and this matter is also related to her.

"After the medicine bed and medicine chair are made, let Daddy use it first. After using it for three days, the cold in the body weakened a little. After seven days, he was able to eat normally, but he was able to walk around for half an hour. Cao Shuli simply said the magical effect of the medicine bed and medicine chair, she admired and admired Xia Xiang and liked it, thinking that Xia Xiang was the lucky star of the Cao family who fell from the sky, not only helped Cao Shujun, but also saved her father, no matter how she thanked Xia Xiang, she could not be overstated, "Xia Langjun is very kind, Cao Shuli will never forget." Please accept my worship! ”

Xia Xiangcai wouldn't let Cao Shuli worship him, and without waiting for Cao Shuli to bend down, he stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "Little lady Cao doesn't have to be polite, I just tried it by mistake, and I just moved my mouth, if it weren't for Mr. Jin Jia's medical theory and Cao Shujun Cao Saburo's own medicine bed and medicine chair, I wouldn't have been able to do anything." ”

"This is as if the old man wants to rob you of your credit?" Jin Jia's beard trembled, and he patted Xia Xiang's shoulder hard, "Young man, it's a good thing to be humble and introverted, if you are too humble and introverted, it is hypocrisy." The traitor seems to be loyal and the hypocrisy seems to be true, and you should be the first to take the lead in the matter of the medicine bed and medicine chair. If it weren't for your whimsy, the old man and Cao Saburo would be helpless. Are you stupid to read? Little Lady Cao is so grateful to you, you want to make a personal promise, you hold Little Lady Cao's hand and don't let go, is it just agreeing? ”

Xia Xiang was in a hurry to support Cao Shuli, not wanting to grab her slender hand, if it weren't for Jin Jia's reminder, he hadn't noticed it, at this time he felt that his hand was as smooth as jade, and when he looked down, Cao Xiaoniang's soft and boneless jade hand was held in his hand, like a treasure. He couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, quietly exerted force, then let go, and said with a smile: "Little lady Cao has already had someone in her heart, although I admire her elegance, but I am still a step late." A gentleman does not take away the love of others......"

Xia Xiang let go of Cao Shuliyu's hand, took a step back, and solemnly returned the salute.

Xia Xiang's tone was solemn and sad, and he returned the salute and solemn and formal, as if he was saying goodbye to Cao Shuli. Cao Shuli was just held by Xia Xiang's right hand, and she was both happy and ashamed in her heart, but he turned around so ruthlessly, and couldn't help but feel sad, tears almost fell, she also took a step back, and her clothes were upright: "Xia Langjun, the slave family has no one to do, and there is no sweetheart, if you dislike me, just say it, you don't have to be so righteous and awe-inspiring." ”

"Haha, little lady Cao, you are still too anxious, and you were deceived by Xia Langjun." Jin Jia has long been downset about the relationship between men and women, and his experience is much richer than that of Xia Xiang and Cao Shuli, and his heart is like a mirror, "Xia Langjun has never said that he is interested in you, he has retreated as advance, and on the grounds that you have a sweetheart, he has tested your mind, you, you, actually said it directly, this is good, he knows your affection for him, if he accepts you, it's okay, if he doesn't accept you, don't you want to be laughed at?" ”

Cao Shuli's face was red, both ashamed and angry, after a while, she regained the breeze and bright moon, and smiled: "I admire Xia Langjun's talent and like Xia Langjun's heart, but it's just my own business, and it has nothing to do with whether Xia Langjun accepts my affection." Mountains and flowing water, it is not necessary to have a bosom friend, there is no bosom friend, the mountain is still majestic, and the water is still murmuring. ”

Xia Xiang secretly praised Cao Shuli's changeable mind but pure and good, indifferent temperament, and rare strength, she must be a good wife and mother.

But...... At this time, the exam has passed, and I don't know if I have won the Jinshi, although Xia Xiang was moved by Cao Shuli's affection, he only smiled: "Cao Xiaoniang is like a breeze and a bright moon, a phoenix among people, I only have the heart to look up." By the way, Mr. Jin Jia, the emperor's illness and Cao Gong's illness should not be the same disease, in addition to the medicine bed and medicine chair, the emperor should also pay more attention to his diet. ”

Cao Shuli came to welcome Xia Xiang with joy, she didn't want Xia Xiang to avoid answering after learning her intentions, she was slightly unwilling in her heart, but she was not in a hurry, so she was not disappointed.

"The emperor's diet is mainly light, and medicinal food is added, with the addition of qi and blood to strengthen vitality, plus the yang energy supplemented by the medicine bed and medicine chair, the emperor's dragon body should be very good, why is there no improvement in the slightest?" Jin Jia was puzzled, it stands to reason that he should discuss this matter with a doctor from the Tai Hospital, Xia Xiang is just a scholar, and he is an irrelevant person, but Xia Xiang's idea cured Cao Yongguo, and he even believes that Xia Xiang's method is also applicable to the emperor.

Xia Xiang is also helpless, he is not a doctor, and he doesn't know what the emperor's symptoms are, let alone see the emperor take the emperor's pulse, he just listened to Jin Jia's paraphrase, it is impossible to judge why the emperor's condition has not improved, besides, even if he is fortunate enough to meet the emperor, his medical skills are too far from Jin Jia, Jin Jia doesn't know what the reason is, and he can't even know.

He didn't want to feel uncomfortable on his own, and he didn't have medical skills to diagnose and treat the emperor, which was a crime of defrauding the king.

"Is there not enough firepower?" Cao Shuli has been working hard for her father day and night recently, and she has personally lit the fire for her father's medicine bed and medicine chair, knowing that if the fire is insufficient, the effect of the medicine will be greatly reduced, "Or, is the firewood used still wet and cold?" ”

The firewood used to light the fire should preferably be taken from a tree that enjoys the sun for more than 10 years, and it should be dry and free of moisture.

Jin Jia shook his head again and again: "What you have considered, the old man has thought of it, and I have checked them one by one, and it is not the problem." It is precisely because of this that the old man came to see Xia Langjun in a hurry, maybe he can think of the places where we missed and neglected. But now it seems that he is also exhausted in donkey skills. ”

Xia Xiang was helpless, Jin Jia begged him, and scolded him for being a donkey, he smiled aggrievedly: "I just came out of the examination room, none of you asked me how I did in the exam, but asked me about things that have nothing to do with me, and blame me for being incompetent, where is there such a truth in the world?" ”

"What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? Xia Xiang, do you still have the heart to serve the country? Jin Jia's face showed a slight anger, but after a flash, he laughed again, "I don't ask how you did in the exam, I believe that you will definitely go to high school." If you don't go to high school, the old man will face the emperor and let you study medicine with me and join the Tai Hospital. ”

Jin Jia still can't forget to let him worship him as a teacher? Xia Xiang didn't feel that his head was big, and he hurriedly said: "If you don't go to high school this year, I'll come back in three years." ”

"You can take the exam again in three years, but Little Lady Cao can't wait three years." Jin Jia is now in love with Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang doesn't want to study medicine with him, and it is okay to marry Cao Shuli, according to his friendship with Cao Yongguo, Xia Xiang really became the son-in-law of the Cao family, and he will not be able to listen to him in the future, so he spares no effort to match Xia Xiang and Cao Shuli, "Xia Langjun, you must choose one of the three things." First, follow the old man into the palace to diagnose the emperor. Second, it's okay not to enter the palace, and help the old man figure out why the emperor's condition has not improved. Third, marry Cao Shuli. ”

Before the list was released, someone forced him to get married? Xia Xiang was once again forced by Jin Jia to the point of no retreat, mainly because Cao Shuli stood indifferently beside him, neither ashamed nor embarrassed, but also looked at him with a smile on his eyes, waiting for him to answer.

Xia Xiang was silent, Jin Jia and Cao Shuli were very patient and waited for him to answer, he was in a dilemma, the first thing was obviously not good, he was going to lose his head, and he couldn't mess around. The second thing is also no, he is really not a doctor. The third thing...... It's not that it can't be done now, first, it hasn't been released yet, and it's unknown whether it's high school, and second, how can marriage be decided without permission, and it must be agreed by the mother.

"Xia Langjun, Xia Langjun......" When Xia Xiang didn't know how to answer, a gust of wind ran over, she was as light as a butterfly, shuttling between Jin Jia and Cao Shuli, pulling Xia Xiang's sleeve and turning around, "Come with me, I have prepared a banquet in Taiping Ju in good times, and I will wash the dust for the three of you." ”

Xia Xiang was dumbfounded, he, Zhang Hou, and Shen Bao were just taking the exam, and they didn't go on a long trip, where did the dust come from? Shi Er kept moving, her body was weak, but her strength was not small, so Xia Xiang also ran with her.

Xia Xiang had no choice but to wave his hand at Jin Jia: "Mr. Jin Jia, let me think about it, this matter is big, don't be rash." Little lady Cao, I'll visit you another day. Cao Saburo ......"

"I'm going too, I'm going too, you don't want to leave me." Cao Shujun didn't find a chance to talk to Xia Xiang for a long time, and seeing that Xia Xiang was pulled away by Shi'er, where was he willing to follow, he pulled his legs and followed, "I have more important things to tell you." ”

Zhang Hou and Shen Bao laughed, and the two followed.

Cao Shuli and Jin Jia looked at Xia Xiang's distant back, Cao Shuli shook her head and smiled, and there was a hint of melancholy between her eyebrows. Jin Jia stroked his beard and smiled, half talking to himself and half comforting Cao Shuli: "If Xia Xiang is not in high school, the old man will go to the emperor to reason, such a talent is not used by the court, it is unfortunate for the court." But he is young after all, although his temperament is calm, he is still not stable enough, it doesn't matter, he will understand sooner or later, who is the one who is sincere to him. ”

Cao Shuli's face was slightly red, and her eyes flashed with bright brilliance: "Zhang Langjun and Shen Langjun are also good to him, and they will take care of him." ”

"It's good now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future." Jin Jia's eyes were like torches, and his eyes jumped back and forth on the backs of Xia Xiang, Zhang Hou, and Shen Bao, "When the knowledge is deep, the spirit is calm, and now the three of them are young and vigorous, and when the three of them are in high school, they will enter the court, and there will be partisan disputes because of their different positions, and then whether it is the friendship of classmates or the feelings of cohabitation, they will be left behind." ”

Although Jin Jia is only a physician, he has seen a lot of officialdom because he has lived in the center of the court for a long time, and he has also seen with his own eyes that the Jinshi in the same examination room have not belonged to the same camp after becoming officials, but they have excluded each other and attacked each other, and finally ended up with a lose-lose situation.

"I hope Xia Langjun has a bright future and everything goes well." Cao Shuli's mind is pure and simple.

"With the old man here, Xia Langjun will definitely have a bright future. If someone is behind his back, the old man will definitely protect him from being hurt by the bad guys. Jin Jia laughed smugly, "The old man is not talented, although he is far less powerful than Hou Pingpan, he can determine a person's future and life and death with a word, but he has also walked in the palace and the princes' mansions for many years, thanks to the love of the emperor and the princes, it can be regarded as a good fate, haha." Take 10,000 steps back, even if Xia Xiang really has a difficult time that he can't get over, it's a big deal to resign and learn medicine from the old man, just rely on the old man's medical skills of fighting the dead and flesh and bones, and the world can get it. ”

"May I ask if your Excellency is a doctor?"

As soon as Jin Jia's voice fell, someone suddenly asked behind him, his voice was loud and full of energy, he turned around and saw that there were two people standing behind him, both dressed as scholars. One person has a round face and big eyes, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, one is skinny, fifty years away, and the two are young and old, one fat and one thin, which complements each other.

The person who asked the question was a young scholar.

Jin Jia nodded, with a proud face: "Exactly." Who are you? ”

"Sir, I am a test boy in the next place, whose surname is Teng Zhengyuan, and I just finished this year's big competition. For some reason, I suddenly felt dizzy, unsteady on my feet, and weak, so I begged my husband to save me. Teng Zhengyuan bowed deeply and was respectful.

The old man also gave a salute and said: "In Xia Wu Yongwang, it was Brother Teng who took the exam in the same year. The symptoms are similar to Brother Teng, sir, I am old and frail, and it is understandable that I am physically exhausted, Brother Teng is in the prime of life, why is this so? ”

Although Jin Jia is a doctor, he is a doctor, only for the emperor and the princes and ministers, if it were not for his personal relationship with Cao Yongguo, it would be difficult to invite him at the level of Cao Yongguo, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to see him, let alone invite him to see a doctor.

It was Jin Jia who was quite dissatisfied with Teng Zhengyuan's behavior of asking for a consultation on the street, snorted lightly from his nostrils, turned around and left.

"Doctor, doctor, please stay." Teng Zhengyuan first came to Shangjing, where did he know that Shangjing was the land of the capital, and there were many rules, he took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to block Jinjia's way, "The heart of the doctor's parents, how can they not save them when they see death?" Besides, it's not like I don't pay for the consultation. Although the doctor is a strange skill, it is a hundred crafts, and the farmers and businessmen are ranked down, at least they are much better than the merchants who do business, and you are a fairy bone, you must have also read books, so rude, you really despise yourself. Doctor, if I am a high school scholar in the future, you will treat me, and it will be regarded as a glorious court. ”

Wu Yongwang, who followed closely behind, heard Teng Zhengyuan's generous speech, his face changed greatly, and he shook his head again and again.

The atmosphere of Daxia is much clearer than before, but the order of Shinong industry and commerce still exists, and in the minds of most readers, everything is still inferior, only reading is high. The reason why Jin Jia values Xia Xiang is not only because Xia Xiang is indeed wise, but also because although Xia Xiang admires the highest reading, he does not despise agriculture and industry, which is in line with the harmony and difference of Confucianism. He has been a doctor for many years, although he also knows that no matter how Qingming the atmosphere of Daxia is, the status of a doctor cannot be higher than that of a scholar, just as it is still difficult for a businessman to enter the house.

It's just that the status is not high, it does not mean that the heart is not high, Jin Jia has always believed that if you are not a good looker, you must be a good doctor, which should be the feelings that every scholar should have. If Teng Zhengyuan opened his mouth to ask for advice, he might still give some pointers, but Teng Zhengyuan regarded himself as a superior scholar, and Jin Jia couldn't bear it.

Wu Yongwang and Teng Zhengyuan had never known each other, but after the exam, the two came together inadvertently and chatted a few words casually, which was quite speculative and couldn't help but be cited as confidants. Teng Zhengyuan originally wanted Wu Yongwang to accompany him to the prestigious Tongrentang in Beijing for diagnosis and treatment, but when he passed by Jin Jia, he seemed to be a doctor when he heard Jin Jia's words.
