The silence was awakened by a drizzle, and instead of rushing to open his eyes, he listened intently to the ticking sound outside the window...... In fact, he knew that spring had come, because the wind was no longer steep, the rivers began to thaw, the sun became warm, and people took off their thick cotton jackets, but he could not erase the marks of winter, because there was still one spring rain left.

With his eyes closed, he could imagine that the shining and soft rain wet the treetops and moistened the earth, making the whole world fresh and no longer full of haze...... The dark gray clouds have accumulated a winter's sorrow, resentment, bitterness, and unhappiness, right?

Now, the gloomy clouds have fallen into rain, and the best spring has come.

I couldn't hold back the excitement in my heart anymore, I turned over and got up silently, moved my sore limbs, put on my shoes and went to the ground, pushed open the door, and saw that in the slanting wind and drizzle, a layer of tender and faint green sprouted on the trees on the ground. The silent green, like a gently rippling lake, also had a heartfelt smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Master, are you awake?" A cry of surprise made Shen Mo cast his eyes to the center of the courtyard, only to see Rou Niang holding an oil-paper umbrella and carrying a small clay pot, standing there softly and weakly, looking at herself with joy on her face.

Shen Mo nodded and smiled in return, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"It's ten days." Rou Niang chuckled, "You can really sleep." ”

Shen Mo scratched his head and said, "Ten days? ”

"Isn't it," Rou Niang nodded, "Ever since I drank Doctor Li's wine, I've been sleeping until now." ”

"What are you trying to get me drunk?" Silently moving his limbs, he felt an infinite amount of power surging up, and his mind was clear that he had not been in a long time.

"You can't wronged Doctor Li." Rou Niang put down the clay pot, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Doctor Li said that you are overly worried, and your body is seriously overdrawn, and you have reached the verge of a serious illness...... He said that sleep is the most nourishing for the body, and it works better than a panacea. ”

"Oh......" As soon as he heard 'Li Shizhen', Shen Mo suddenly came back to his senses and said, "How is Ruohan?" ”

"See for yourself." Rou Niang smiled and got out of the way.

Shen Mo smiled at her, then rushed through the rain and entered the west wing opposite, only to see his Ruohan leaning on the pillow, smiling sweetly at him.

At that moment, silent tears flowed uncontrollably, and he felt a little embarrassed, so he reached out to wipe them. But the tears were wiped more and more, and his eyes were foggy, and he couldn't see anything except Ruohan, who was crying into tears.

Silent hugged his fiancée, tightly, for fear of gaining and losing again, as if he wanted to rub her into his arms and become one.

For a long time, maybe for a long time, an untimely cough sounded outside the door, and the two hurriedly separated, silently brushed Ruohan's hair, covered her with a quilt, and whispered, "I'll go out first." ”

Ruohan nodded obediently, as soft as a kitten.

"The patient has been cured." A middle-aged man wearing a cloth robe, with a dark complexion, stood outside the door, and said silently to the Shen who came out: "I have to recuperate for another ten days and half a month, and I can recover as before, without leaving a single root of the disease." Shen Mo hurriedly thanked him.

The middle-aged man was naturally Li Shizhen, he waved his hand, signaled that Shen Mo didn't need to be polite: "Since you two are fine, I will go back, if you really thank me, send that kind of stagecoach to send me back." ”

Shen Mo called Tie Zhu and asked, the brocade guard waist card had already been asked by Zhu Shisan to go back, so he didn't dare to say with confidence: "Give Mr. permission to the letter at night." ”

Li Shizhen frowned, nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay...... But I'll have to get out of here now," he said, rubbing his hands, "I've already found a good place at the Heyue Inn in Dashilar, so you can send someone to carry a letter at night." "After that, I want to go outside.

"Sir......" He was in a hurry to leave, and he couldn't stop screaming silently.

Tie Zhu leaned over and whispered: "Yuwangfu knows the news of Mr. Li's entry into Beijing, and sent someone to ask him to treat the princess yesterday. ”

Shen Mo nodded, and said softly: "There is only one Li Shizhen......" After expressing his feelings, he asked Zhu Shisan if he had been implicated, and Tie Zhu said: "I was beaten with thirty whips, and I came here to reassure the adults." ”

The two were talking, there was a noise in the front yard, and after a while, Li Shizhen fell back angrily, followed by a man with an umbrella, who was chasing him step by step.

When I got closer, I found out that the person was Zhang Juzheng. Lord Xiao Zhang also saw him, so he let go of Li Shizhen, who was rushing back to the east wing, arched his hand towards Shen Mo, and smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Humble Words......"

Shen Mo hurriedly returned the salute: "Brother Taiyue, which play are you playing?" ”

"This one is called 'difficult to delay medical treatment'." Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly: "I won't tell you, Princess Yu is a little sick, so I have to take a look at Dr. Li." He said tentatively, "Why don't you help me ask?" ”

"King Yu has grace for Zaixia, and Brother Taiyue has affection for Zaixia," Shen Mo said softly: "There must be nothing to say to help...... It's just that this Mr. Li has a bit of a strange temper, and he doesn't want to, everyone has to touch his nose. ”

"Didn't you invite you?" Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Isn't it okay to concoct it like this?" ”

"To tell you the truth, the relief food and medicine of 150,000 taels of silver were only moved," Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "My father-in-law's family is going to be emptied." It was impossible to hide this matter, so he simply said it directly.

Zhang Juzheng was a little dizzy and said: "The prince can't even afford a fraction, the rich people in Jiangnan are really powerful." ”

At this time, Li Shizhen's voice came from inside: "What is your prince looking for me to do, I know it in my heart, please tell him, in addition to raising and curing that matter, you also have to accumulate yin virtue...... Now that the weather is warm, the epidemic may break out at any time, and tens of millions of people will die by then, and this account will be credited to him! ”

"You ......" Zhang Juzheng was displeased, but quickly suppressed his emotions and said, "What is the gentleman going to do?" ”

"Send me back to Shaanxi in the shortest possible time, and when the plague is prevented, I will naturally come back." Li Shizhen said in the house.

"How long will it take?" Zhang Juzheng asked.

"Up to three months."

After clenching his fists and thinking for a long time, Zhang Juzheng stomped his feet and said, "Okay, I'll ask the prince when I go back!" ”

Shen Mo sent Zhang Juzheng to the door, and wanted to wave goodbye to him, but Zhang Juzheng pulled his sleeve and said, "Let's talk." He made a gesture of please.

Shen Mo nodded, and walked with him through the empty rain alley.

The two of them each held an umbrella and walked for a while, and Zhang Juzheng said, "You have to be careful." ”

"Is there anything wrong?" Looking at the water splashes blooming on the bluestone slab, Shen Mo asked softly.

"Your Majesty will send the article you will try to win the championship to the cabinet, the six ministries, the nine secretaries, and the science and technology officials, and order them to write on it." Zhang Juzheng chuckled and said, "Congratulations, before you finish the imperial examination, you will be named Jiuqing." ”

Shen Mo scratched his head slightly and said, "Actually, I am innocent......"

"Not necessarily, right?" Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "If you are really innocent, why did you write that article?" I think you just want to stir up a thousand waves with one stone. ”

"This time and that time." Shen Mo said frankly: "My fighting spirit has changed sharply now, and I don't want to cause trouble. After parting with Ruohan's life and death, his outlook on life inevitably underwent some changes.

"It's late." Zhang Juzheng laughed loudly: "Li Mo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Zhenji, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, have already released words to teach you, a 'ignorant bark' kid. ”

"Zhao Zhenji?" Shen Mo was surprised: "Isn't he in Nanjing?" ”

"Ten days forward in Beijing," Zhang Juzheng said: "Hua Ting Gong is in charge of both the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites, and the burden is too heavy, so he recommended Zhao Butang to share the errands of the Ministry of Rites." ”

'This old fellow...... It's really a narrow road. Shen Mo frowned secretly, he knew that Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie were all the way, so they didn't show any complaints.

Zhang Juzheng thought he was afraid, and clapped his hands to cheer him up: "Now the finances of the Ming Dynasty are exhausted, and this earthquake is even worse, I heard that some local taxes have been levied in Jiajing forty years later, if you don't think about it, I really don't know how to live in the next year?" Now the method you proposed is practical, it is my Ming Dynasty's road to wealth! ”

In the spring rain, a handsome man generously said: "The saying says: 'The middle must be burned, and the knife must be cut', my generation of young people should have three chivalrous spirits, seven points of courage, and resolutely take the world as their own responsibility!" How can you be submissive in time? In this case, the road to prosperity is dangerous in hazel thorns, evil and ugly, and there are many disciples. If we learn from those bureaucrats who 'hold up the group inside and have muddy desires outside', it will take a while, isn't it also difficult? How can he put on his confidants, see his feelings, stretch out his assertive plan, donate the concerns of the vulgar, and suddenly move the sky? As he spoke, he hugged his fist and said, "Brother Humble Yan, let's fight with those rotten and faint beetles!" I will fight with you to the end! ”

He looked at this hot-blooded young man silently, and said in his heart: "There are a lot of angry young people this year, why did you meet another one?" But he also knew that since he had already caused a turmoil, it would be Zhu Bajie to look in the mirror and look at the two sides, so he had to smile bitterly: "Brother Taiyue, let's go against the sky together." ”

In the rain, two fools are dreaming......
