Zuo Gui's father was still in a good mood after he came back, Qiao Guan and Qu Lao Ye knew too much about this set of officialdom tricks, but they didn't break it, so as not to disappoint Zuo Gui's father.

After three days, there has been no news from the Yamen, Zuo Gui's father was anxious, and he took his son to feel that the Yamen asked to see the county lieutenant Peng. Peng County Lieutenant looked innocent, saying that the parents of the Yu family were the imperial doctor Yu Lao Tai who told the old man to return to his hometown, because this matter was ashamed and anxious, he had fallen ill, and he did not know the personnel, he personally went to investigate, and sure enough, he could not go to the hall to be questioned.

Zuo Gui's father was anxious and asked the county lieutenant what should he do? The county lieutenant spread his hands, and said helplessly that he could only wait, the old lady Yu is a five-grade official, he is a small county lieutenant, and he dare not be rough with the old lady doctor if he borrows his courage, and he can only go to the court to be tried when the old lady is well and can go to the court to be tried, so he will immediately go to the court to ask the case, and will not delay.

Zuo Gui's father began to know about this matter, and the other party was dragging the knife. In the face of this trick, Zuo Gui's father couldn't express his anger and bitterness, so he could only return to the inn in a depressed mood.

Qiao Guan immediately decided to go to Peng County Lieutenant to find out. He went for a whole day, and when he came back, he told Zuo Shaoyang in frustration that after a lot of effort, he finally took out the truth from the county lieutenant Peng, and there was an explanation from above, this case is not in a hurry, it will be tried slowly, and it will be delayed for a year and a half. He's just a little sesame official, and he can only listen to the top. As for who gave the order, Lieutenant Peng refused to say.

This news made Zuo Gui's father almost desperate.

The old lady Qu was so angry that he went to the old lady's house again and again. The Yu family always politely apologized, honestly admitted their mistakes, and was willing to compensate with a sad face, but they insisted on repenting of their marriage and refused to marry their daughter. The old lady Qu was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, and there was nothing she could do. said that he has not yet been officially reinstated, and even if he has been reinstated, he is an official of the Ministry of Rites, or a deputy position, and he can't control the trial of civil cases in Chang'an County, and he can't even speak.

Zuo Gui's father refused to admit defeat and thought of the Zhen family.

The two brothers of the Zhen family, the elder brother Zhen Quan and the younger brother Zhen Liyan are all peers with the old lady doctor, and they are higher than the old lady doctor in terms of generation.

Qiao Guan's great-grandfather was a minister with Zhen Quan in the Sui Dynasty, and the relationship between the two families was very familiar, Qiao Qiaoer and Zhen Liyan's great-grandniece Zhen Yao were close friends, so they could only rely on the Qiao family to see the relationship.

Zuo Gui's father didn't know that his son Zuo Shaoyang had already quarreled with the Zhen family, so he asked Mrs. Qu to help borrow twenty yuan, and asked Qiao Guan to take it to Zhen's house and ask Zhen Liyan to help. Qiao Guan knew that Zhen Liyan had a big official frame, although the relationship between the two families was good, but that was on the surface, and when he really encountered a stake, the other party might not be able to really help. Because of the situation, he still agreed in the end, and went to Zhen Liyan hard.

As a result, Qiao Guan came back in frustration, saying that Zhen Liyan said that this was a matter of the Chang'an County Ya, not a matter within his purview, and it was inconvenient to ask. Twenty times the money was not collected. Zuo Gui's father was even more desperate, so he had no choice but to return the money to Mrs. Qu.

It was late autumn, and they didn't expect to stay so long when they came, so they didn't bring winter clothes. He spent money to buy cloth silk cotton, and Bai Zhihan made winter clothes for the family. Her needlework was really not covered, and she quickly made winter clothes for several people.

On this day, it was said that Zuo Shaoyang got up.

It's late autumn now, and I can't bear to be in the hot quilt, and the capital is gone, and I'm not in the mood to go shopping anymore, and I don't have anything to do, so I lie in bed and sleep lazy.

After he got up and washed, he sat behind a few long cases to practice calligraphy, although he no longer took the medical exam for Wu Shu, but Zuo Shaoyang still insisted on practicing calligraphy every day. The calligraphy chosen is my father's, and he likes his father's Zuo Gui's words very much, tall and vigorous, stretching and generous. So take Daddy's words as a copybook to practice. Daddy Zuogui also gave careful advice. At this time, he practiced calligraphy, and Bai Zhihan was doing needlework on the side to accompany him.

It was already very cold in late autumn, and there was a brazier in the room to keep warm, and the brass cover shone on it, and the cold wind was raging outside, but the house was as warm as spring.

At this moment, Qiao Qiao'er's voice sounded in the corridor outside the inn: "You have only come to see me once in the past few days, just sit for a while and leave!" Hum! It's still a girlfriend! ”

"Alas! There's no way, my father is worried that I won't be able to get married, so he finds me a matchmaker for a blind date every day, and someone is going to come on a blind date today, so I have to go back early. ”

Zuo Shaoyang was very familiar with this voice, as if he had heard it somewhere, so he put down the brush, tiptoed to the door, opened a crack in the door and looked out, and saw Qiao Qiaoer on crutches, with the support of the old mother, sending a woman with a little maid out.

He looked closely at the woman, her hair was full of jewels, her body was silky, her breasts were flat, her face was mediocre, but her big mouth was impressive. - It is the great-granddaughter of the old doctor Zhen Quan!

Could it be that this big-mouthed girl is Qiao Qiaoer's best friend Zhen Yao?

Zuo Shaoyang could see it, and he didn't pay attention to the crack in the door that was a little bigger, and was seen by Qiao Qiao'er, beckoning and grinning: "If you want to see it, you can come out, you don't have to be sneaky!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang was a little embarrassed, so he had to open the door and walk out.

Qiao Qiao'er introduced: "This is the brother I told you about my medical skills like a god, Xiaolang Zhongzuo Zhongzuo Shaoyang of Hezhou Guizhitang. That is, the poor brother who I asked you to ask your great-grandfather for help. - Brother, this is Zhen Yao, the great-granddaughter of the old doctor Zhen I told you, my friend. ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Miss Zhen! ”

Zhen Yao was very surprised, looked Zuo Shaoyang up and down, and said, "It turns out that the son is the little Langzhong who wrote the lyrics and wrote poems on a blind date!" Childe is not only a skilled doctor, but also filled in the poems of the poem is wonderful, I had the privilege of reading Childe's masterpiece, I really admire, especially the butterfly love flower, Xun Fengqian to save his wife and freeze to death This tear-jerking story, since ancient times, has been the laughing stock of those men, but Childe praised their touching love, it is really amazing, especially for me and other women, but also deeply feel the love of Childe. I have always been looking forward to having the privilege of meeting my son, and now I am able to meet Gao Xian, which is enough to comfort my life. After that, Ying Yingfu gave a gift.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly returned the salute: "The girl praised it." The last time the girl gave me a heavy gift in the East City, I didn't accept it for some reason, and I didn't thank you, and the previous time I pointed out that I was clumsy, and that poem about the early dynasty of Chang'an, saying that the number of palace doors was wrong, and it was really a teacher in the next word! Today, I am fortunate to meet the girl, thank you in person! ”

"Don't dare to be!"

Qiao Qiao'er said strangely: "Do you know each other?" ”

Zhen Yao smiled and said: "Last time I was in the East City Jishi Medicine Store, I had a relationship with Zuo Gongzi. By the way, Zuo Gongzi, where is your handsome medicine boy? ”

Bai Zhihan came out after him, and when Zhen Yao saw it, he smiled and said, "Yo, I'll come out as soon as I speak!" ”

Qiao Qiao'er burst out laughing: "You're talking about her, she's a woman, a woman dressed as a man, and my brother's sister-in-law who didn't pass through the door!" ”

"Oh?" Zhen Yao was a little embarrassed, looked at Bai Zhihan several times, and said strangely, "Zuo Gongzi has such a beautiful daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, why do you still want to find a blind date with the Yu family?" ”

"Alas!" Qiao Qiao'er already knew that Bai Zhihan couldn't become Zuo Shaoyang's wife because of her status as a slave, but it was hard to say, so she said: "There are some reasons here, and I can't tell for a while." Anyway, my brother is going to find a girl from an official eunuch in the capital as a wife. Unexpectedly, you people in the capital don't talk much, and you have regretted your marriage many times, you must help with this favor! Get justice for my brother! ”

"Okay! I'll do my best," Zhen Yao smiled, "However, it's not that I mean to shirk, my great-uncle is not as good as my great-grandfather." And he's so busy that he doesn't know if he's free to help. ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said: "It's okay, if you can't help, forget it." Isn't it just a woman, a three-eyed toad is hard to find, and a two-legged woman is. ”

"Hehe, since Zuo Gongzi has this mentality, why don't you take the other party's compensation and find a better daughter-in-law?"

Zuo Shaoyang talked and lowered his voice: "My father can't swallow this breath, it's talking, and I also listen to the aggrieved, I want to ask for an explanation." Especially when three families regret their marriages, I want to know what the real reason is! ”

"Oh?" Zhen Yaoqi said: "Are you curious about the reason why the three of them regretted their marriage?" Instead of really bent on bringing the daughter of the Yu family over as a daughter-in-law? ”

"Yes, if you can find out the real reason behind the repentance, that's fine. If there are extenuating circumstances, it is good to convince my dad. ”

"This should be easier, I'll go to my great-uncle and ask for ideas."

"Good! Thank you, Miss Zhen. ”

"It's time for me to thank you." Zhen Yao smiled, this smile was a bit pretty, of course, if she didn't think about her big mouth.

"Thank me for what?" Zuo Shaoyang asked in amazement.

"I heard Qiao'er say, if you hadn't used a wooden branch to graft bones and perform magical osteopathic medical skills, Qiao'er's leg would be useless, and her life would be in danger, Qiao'er and I are like sisters, and if you save her, it is equivalent to saving me, so naturally I want to thank you. - If Zuo Gongzi has anything in the capital that requires my service, just ask. ”

"Thank you, you can help me find out why the old lady doctor repented of the marriage, you have already done me a great favor."

"It's nothing, besides, even if my great-uncle agrees to inquire, this matter may not be possible."

"Why?"

"It's very simple, Old Lady Yu is not even afraid of you suing the Yamen to make him lose face, which means that the reason why they regret their marriage must be very unavoidable, and my great-grandfather is just a colleague and friend of Old Lady Yu, so if you ask like this, you may not be able to ask anything. So don't get your hopes up. ”

Zuo Shaoyang thought about it, and said with a wry smile: "If you can't hear it, forget it, then there's no way to do it......"

Qiao Qiao'er said to Zhen Yao: "Sister, didn't your great-grandfather and great-uncle have a lot of medical books?" Why don't you borrow some and show them to Zuo Gongzi, I see that he has nothing to do here, so find him something. ”

Zuo Shaoyang actually didn't have much interest in the medical classics of the early Tang Dynasty, because the level of Chinese medicine in the Tang Dynasty was a thousand years behind his own, and the famous classics of Chinese medicine in the Tang Dynasty were already familiar with his chest, but he was very interested in reading the works of the Tang Dynasty that had been lost in later generations, and he might be inspired. Immediately arched his hand and said: "This idea is good, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”
