Chapter 192: Pastime

After hearing Xiao Mu admit his mistake, Lin Yi returned to normal a little and said, "And we didn't just care about searching for witch Gu, didn't we also invite your old acquaintance, Imperial Doctor Li, to treat you?" โ€

"What do you call my old acquaintance, obviously you are also very familiar with this Imperial Doctor Li. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ€‚ info" Xiao Mu obviously couldn't agree with Lin Ye's old acquaintance's statement, "But then again, since you and I traveled to Daming, this Imperial Doctor Li is really not uncommon. โ€

Lin Yi highly agreed with Xiao Mu's statement, "The imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital is equivalent to the personal doctor of the royal family, of course such a good resource must be fully utilized, isn't there such a saying, the most frequent line in the costume court drama is 'pass on the imperial doctor'......"

"Who summed this up, it's really incisive." Xiao Mu listened to Lin Yi's joke, and also felt that it was very appropriate, obviously he hadn't seen a doctor a few times a year before he crossed over, but after crossing over to the Ming Dynasty, he didn't know how many times he had dealt with this Imperial Physician Li in less than a month, and the amount of silver he had rewarded to Imperial Physician Li should be a lot, right?

While talking, Xiao Mu's supper was also used up, and he chatted with Lin Yi who was sitting here for a while about topics such as imperial medicine and searching for witch Gu, and it was already late at this time, and it was time to rest, so Lin Ye also got up and left, and went back to her own dormitory to rest.

This time is very delicate for Xiao Mu, after all, he has just slept all afternoon, and he has just used some supper, of course, it is impossible to go to sleep directly - although under normal circumstances, it is already time to sleep.

Since he couldn't go to sleep, Xiao Mu decided to find a random book to read, pass the time, maybe he felt sleepy while reading, and then slept until tomorrow morning, and the original disordered biological clock could be adjusted to a normal level.

Originally, Xiao Mu listened to Lin Ye's "Dream of Red Mansions" recited several times in just one supper, and at this time he wanted to find a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" to read, but immediately realized that he had not actually traveled back to the modern society of later generations, and now he was still in the Ming Dynasty.

Although Xiao Mu has not been involved in the field of literature, "Dream of the Red Chamber", the first of the four great ancient Chinese classics, was completed in the Qing Dynasty, and such a primary school student still knows something, so Xiao Mu also knows that he has no way to read this "encyclopedia of feudal society" nowโ€”even if Xiao Mu is now the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty.

However, wanting to read "Dream of Red Mansions" is just a whim for Xiao Mu after all, and he doesn't have any obsession after realizing that he can't read it now, and Xiao Mu doesn't have much interest in this book, it's just because Lin Yi is just talking about it vigorously.

So Xiao Mu still found the book "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to read, this is the Jiajing version, Emperor Jiajing should be the grandfather of Emperor Chongzhen's grandfather, and the reign was about half a century ago. Xiao Mu had already found some subtle differences between this version and the common version of Xiao Mu's later generations when he read it before, the most obvious point being that there was no opening poem "Linjiang Immortal - Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" - because the author of this poem, Yang Shen, was also a person in the Jiajing period.

In addition, the chapter arrangement of this version is also different from the version Xiao Mu had read before--there are two hundred and forty chapters, instead of the common one hundred and twenty chapters in later generations, which is equivalent to splitting each chapter of the later generations into two, or to be more precise, the common version of the later generations is to merge the two rounds of the Jiajing version into one.

And the name of each episode is also different, at least the name of the first chapter of the common version that Xiao Mu is familiar with in later generations, "Banquet Taoyuan Brothers' Three Alliances, Beheading the Yellow Turban Heroes' First Meritorious Service" is not called like this in the Jiajing version, although of course the content of the story is still the same.

Therefore, Xiao Mu has a feeling of familiarity and strangeness to this book, similar to the feeling when he meets his middle school classmates who he has never met before nearly ten years after graduation.

It's just that Xiao Mu found the book, and before he could read two pages after opening it, Wang Chengen came in.

Seeing that the time was not early, and the queen had already left to go back to rest, Wang Chengen estimated in his heart that Xiao Mu's supper must have run out, so he came in to clean up the tableware, and saw Xiao Mu who was reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with relish.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen was anxious when he saw Xiao Mu who was studying, and his voice seemed to have changed a little, "The imperial doctor just told me not to be too tired, why did the emperor stay up all night to read again?" โ€

Xiao Mu noticed that Wang Chengen had come in, smiled and waved his hand and said, "I read neither the chapter nor the scriptures, but this miscellaneous book is just a pastime to pass the time, and it is not in the way." โ€

Wang Chengen couldn't care about cleaning up the tableware at this time, and of course he didn't buy Xiao Mu's practice of trying to fool the past, "Even if it's a pastime, you don't have to light the lamp and read it at this time, not to mention anything else, it will definitely be harmful to the emperor's eyes." The slave persuaded the emperor to obey the instructions of the imperial doctor, and it was not too late to read it again during the day tomorrow. โ€

Xiao Mu originally wanted to ignore Wang Chengen's persuasion, and no matter how Wang Chengen persuaded him, he still went his own way. But Xiao Mu soon found that he seemed to underestimate Wang Chengen's insistence on principles, and there was a posture that Xiao Mu would not give up studying, and he would persuade him to the end.

And being so disturbed by Wang Chengen, Xiao Mu's interest in reading finally didn't have much left, so Xiao Mu had no choice but to follow Wang Chengen's advice, "If you really can't do anything, then I will listen to you, and I won't read it tonight." โ€

"The emperor is wise!" Wang Chengen was also very happy to see that Xiao Mu finally listened to his advice, and after patting Xiao Mu's ass excitedly, he started to do what he originally wanted to do with peace of mind - clean up the tableware for supper.

However, as soon as Wang Chengen started to clean up the dishes, he was interrupted by Xiao Mu, "Those dishes and chopsticks are not in a hurry to clean up first, anyway, I can't sleep now, and I can't read, so you can talk to me here." โ€

"The slave obeys." Wang Chengen listened to Xiao Mu's words, and of course respectfully agreed.

"It's just me and you here, you don't have to pay too much attention to those courtesies, otherwise it's not interesting to chat." Xiao Mu said, pointing to a small stool and saying to Wang Chengen, "You sit down first, I have something to talk to you about." โ€
