Chapter Twenty-Three: The Uninvited Guest
In July, the Son of Heaven issued an edict that generals, liehous, and officials with more than 2,000 stone should cite those who have great concerns about the art of war. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The central minister immediately put aside the dispute of the prince, how long it will take for the merit of support to turn into a benefit is only God knows, but it will not be long before he can find an official position for his relatives and friends, and besides, His Majesty is rich and prosperous, and it is unknown whether he will give birth to an heir in the future. The mansions are also full of traffic, and there is an endless stream.
Wang An can't take care of these things, and it is important to save his life. According to Wei Xuan, there is no problem with safety, but just in case, Wang An's range of activities is limited to the area of Wangjiazhuang.
"Zikuan, don't always think about healing, you can also treat pigs. Otherwise, if these pigs die of illness, my family will lose a lot of money, and those farmers will lose a lot of money. If the cow died, it would be like the death of his own father. ”
Shen Tuchen, who was treating the pig, shouted at Wang An: "Huizhi, you come; No, shut up. He continued to bury his head in the diagnosis and treatment of the pig, and after a while stood up and said, "I suspect that there are worms in the stomach of this pig, I will prescribe a few pairs of medicines, you can pour it in, and it will be fine in a few days." Zhuang Hu expressed his gratitude to Shen Tuchen, but Shen Tuchen was very helpless. Wang An attaches great importance to pig raising, one can eat meat, and the other can accumulate fat. Since the beginning of the summer, the pigs have been sick one after another, and several have died, so Wang An had no choice but to find Shen Tuchen and ask him to treat the pigs. I don't know if Shen Tuchen is a skilled doctor, or if the blind cat touched the mouse to death, he cured a few pigs and cows one after another, and Shen Tuchen's reputation became even louder.
Shen Tuchen left with an unhappy face, Wang An returned to his study and found that the little fat man was also there: "Shouldn't you go home today?" Why not go? ”
Kong Xun was also unhappy: "My brother came back from Chang'an, I don't want to see him?" ”
"Why is that?"
"He came to ask my family to find someone to write a recommendation for him, and the adults were going to make him angry that his old illness had relapsed. When he saw me, he gave me a certain celebrity and invited him to go to the house to talk about poetry and endowment, and a certain dignitary invited him to the house as a guest, but he accidentally leaked his mouth and was pierced by me. ”
"Tell me about it." Wang An has been trapped in the Zhuangzi for half a month, and he is panicked in his heart, just to pass the time by chatting.
"He once said that he went to the house of Liu Xin, the lieutenant of the middle base, last year, and then I showed him the newspaper of the palace, Liu Mingfu had gone to Zhuo County to be the Taishou last year, and he was still bragging there." The little fat man's face was full of contempt.
"What the imperial court needs this time is a military position, can your brother lead the troops to fight?"
The little fat man pursed his lips, stretched out his right hand and said, "I beat him two with one hand, what do you say?" ”
Wang An sat down and scratched twice on the paper: "Mr. Cui once said that the imperial court has not fought for many years, and there is no risk for the children of Xungui to join the army. According to you, your brother is not proficient in martial arts, but he has no self-knowledge, and I think he should wait for the virtuous Fang Zhengke to be the right way. ”
The little fat man threw the brush into the bamboo tube and said, "My family also persuaded him to do the same, but unfortunately he didn't listen, and now he is pretending to be sick at home." So I didn't go home at all, and stayed here. ”
"And where do you live? I think there are no more rooms? ”
"I gave Tian Dalang a handful of money, and he asked me to live with him."
In the evening, Wang An asked the eldest girl: "Is Mr. Cui gone?" I don't seem to have seen Mr. Cui in the past few days? ”
The eldest girl replied: "Something happened to the Qinghe Cui family, and the old gentleman has to rush back to deal with it." ”
"How can it be a trivial matter to be able to alarm him, the former head of the family."
The eldest girl served Wang An to lie down, and the eldest girl sat on the edge of the couch and fanned Wang An. Wang An said: "My illness has been cured, you don't have to keep vigil." Just like the little fat man said, I am also a person with strong blood, and the beauty is on the side, and I can endure it very much. But you are also a daughter of a family, if something happens at home, you will not be used as an official maid, and I don't want to wronged you, so I have to be out of sight. After Wang An finished speaking, he turned over and faced inward.
The next day, Du Shi came to Wang An: "The tour in the village came to ask, can the inspection in the village be canceled?" The bandits did not find them, but they caught a lot of peddlers and pawns, and the villagers also had opinions. ”
"Let them cancel it, if it's really a bandit or an assassin, they won't find out, go to the big girl and get ten taels of money to give to You, thank them for their help." Wang An thought for a while, "You can't be so thick, and then give Zhuang Ding a reward of ten yuan, so that they can continue to keep their eyes open and don't have an accident." ”
Du Shidong looked around: "Why does my uncle and grandson want to find a person who understands alchemy?" Is it not there? You have to be careful, you can't eat the pill indiscriminately, think about the fate of the first emperor. ”
Wang An was so angry that he threw down the brush: "Who is talking nonsense?" Isn't it a little fat man? "As a man, he is the most taboo for others to say that he is not good at that. I endured so hard, and I was told no, shouldn't I prove my ability?
Du Shi waved his hand again and again: "No, no." I saw you writing to a few magicians who were famous for their alchemy, so I asked this question. ”
Wang An said: "The crops will also get sick and die, so I thought if I could cure the crops, so I thought of those alchemists, hoping that they could find a way to cure the crops." Anyway, it's all about spending money, and if you can find it, it's also a matter of benefiting the country and the people. ”
All day long, Wang An was struggling with whether to prove himself, when he saw the big girl at night, he couldn't bear it, he just wanted to take action when he hugged the big girl, he felt that his hand was beaten, and then he heard a female voice coming: "I hate you **** lustful with a face, but you are full of benevolence and morality." ”
The fire in Wang An's body was extinguished at once, and he hurriedly stood up, only to find that there was an extra woman in the room. The woman waited for the eldest girl to tidy up her clothes before she spoke: "Go and get some food." Don't worry, I won't kill your Langjun. ”
After the woman finished eating, Wang An said, "Listening to what you just said, you should have been here for a few days, right?" The woman nodded, looking very proud: "These wandering subordinates, as well as your Zhuang Ding, are only checking the big man, how can they notice me, a little woman, plus I helped an old woman in, they won't check me." ”
The woman looked at Wang An and said, "You should thank me, I helped you kill two groups of people." ”
"How do I know if what you're saying is true or false."
"These two groups of people are all wanted criminals in the Nanjun Taishou Mansion, so I sent their heads to the Nanjun Taishou in your name."
Wang An bargained: "Since he is a wanted criminal, there should be a reward." Since you delivered the goods in my name, you should share my share. ”
"Didn't I lose a gold sentence on your couch, you are looking for it," the woman smiled, "In order to prove that what I said is true, I am telling you a good thing, Nanjun is too upright for bandits, and seeing that you are so capable of suppressing bandits, I am ready to recommend you to Nanjun as an official." ”
This is pushing me into the fire pit. Wang An lamented in his heart.
