After coming out of the county office, Zhang Li went straight to the Dengzhou government.

Since he is leaving Penglai County, Ruochen's mother's illness should be given a treatment plan.

I don't know if Ruochen will go with him? But most of the time it is impossible, after all, in his own capacity, it is impossible for the British Duke to agree to Ruochen to take his mother to Nanjing with him - the British Duke had only agreed to be healed by Ip Man Tian before.

When Miss Ruochen heard that Zhang Zhang was leaving Penglai, she persuaded Zhang Zhang to stay in the British Mansion.

After leaving a dose of decoction, Zhang Li politely declined Ruochen's kindness.

When he came out of the Dengzhou Mansion, Zhang Zhang couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings in his heart: rice, you have to eat it one bite at a time; The road must be taken step by step. If you want to make a difference in the imperial examination, Nanjing is a must-go!

The reason is very simple, the science field at the end of the Ming Dynasty was almost controlled by the Fushe under the command of the Donglin Party!

Snowflakes were falling in the sky, but there were many pedestrians on the streets.

Just experienced such a serious plague, the people in the city are preparing New Year's goods, hoping to have a good year and sweep away the bad luck of this year!

Zhang Zhang picked up his pace, and soon returned to the house on Lantern Street.

Zhang Zhang explained, let everyone clean up, and set off for Nanjing tomorrow.

Quite surprisingly, Chu Erniang's father-in-law Li Fuzi couldn't find a private school teacher recently, so he begged Zhang Li to take their family together, saying that Chu Erniang was a helper, and he could be a bookkeeper or something, just to have a meal.

After weighing it, Zhang Li agreed to his request.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Zhang and his entourage hired two carriages, one for Chu Erniang and Liu Ru, and one for the rest of the men plus Ah Huang, and slowly drove out of Penglai County.

When the carriage drove out of Penglai County, Zhang Zhang lifted the curtain and took one last look at the county: if it was according to historical progress, it would finally fall in less than a month......

Even if you know it, no one will believe it when you say it, so you can only take care of yourself first.

Yesterday, Miss Ruochen said that she would return to Jingshi in the near future, and she was relieved, at least she didn't have to worry about Ruochen being stuck here.

When the tension was in reverie, Anzi hugged Ah Huang and asked, "Young master, are we entering Nanzhili from Huai'an Mansion?" ”

Zhang Zhang came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Exactly." If you take the southeast route, there is no danger. Now that the sea route is not quiet, there are no ships coming and going, and the sea route is the fastest. ”

Everyone started chatting along the way, and Zhang Zhang found that although Li Fuzi was frustrated in the field, he was not a pedantic person, and he was not bad at writing and arithmetic, and he could be a bookkeeper.

Nothing to say all the way.

The convoy walked for two days, and finally came to Jimo County on this day.

The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, looking at the goose-like snow outside the car window, Zhang Zhang couldn't help but feel a little depressed: it is said that Ruixue is a good year, but in this Chongzhen year, even if Ruixue shines a good year, how can the people afford to pay taxes?

Zhang Zhang chanted softly: "As far as the harvest year is exhausted, what is the harvest year?" There are poor people in Chang'an, and it is not appropriate to have more for Rui. ”

As soon as Li Fuzi heard the poem of Zhang Li, he became interested: "I seem to have seen this poem of the little divine doctor, I don't know which poet wrote it?" ”

Zhang Zhang said lightly: "This is the Yongxue poem of the late Tang Taoist poet Luo Yin. ”

After saying this, Zhang Li stopped talking, and his expression darkened a lot.

After carefully studying this poem, Li Fuzi finally tasted some meaning, and looked at Zhang Li's eyes with a bit of reverence.

After getting out of the carriage, Zhang Zhang decided to rest in Jimo County for a day or two, and waited for the weather to improve.

After resting in the inn for the night, early in the morning, Liu Ru said that he wanted to go to the street to buy some rouge gouache, so he had to go with Zhang Li.

There is no way to do it, thinking that this woman has been like this since ancient times, and she is also the most afraid of shopping with women in later generations......

The two of them left the inn and walked along the street.

While the tension pressed the road, he also carefully observed the county seat of Jimo.

This Jimo County is much smaller than Penglai County, after all, Penglai County is the capital city.

And now only the north and south gates have been opened, and I heard that the situation has not been very stable lately - the east and west gates are closed, and the north and south gates have only been open for three hours.

The county government is in the middle of the county seat, the east of the county government is the Confucian Confucian Temple, and the west is the City God Temple. There are shops in all streets, but the most are near the City God Temple.

Zhang Zhang followed Liu Ru all the way to wander around, and finally came to the City God Temple.

Zhang Li looked at it, and sure enough, there were several shops with "rouge gouache" signs.

Zhang Zhang couldn't help but feel a little excited, so he waited for Liu Rushi outside the shop and let her go in and choose by herself.

didn't wait long, and Zhang Zhang suddenly felt anxious. Looking around, I saw a small alley not far away, and a big tree was faintly visible in the alley, so I walked straight over.

When he came to the big tree, Zhang Zhang looked around again, and after making sure that there was no one, he began to solve it on the spot......

When Zhang Zhang was lifting his pants after the incident, a voice came from behind him, which scared Zhang Zhang out of his mind!

"Flirtatious manners!"

Zhang Zhang turned his head to look, and saw an old man with crane hair and a childish face, quite a bit of fairy bones, frowning, staring at himself.

Zhang Zhang got goosebumps, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I said this old man, don't you walk without making a sound?" I'm scared to death! ”

The old man frowned and said, "The plague in Penglai County, what prescription did you use?" ”

Zhang Li's heart tightened suddenly:! Isn't it Ip Man's Tianyu Party? Or is it still the Li Yicheng who has only heard of the big name? Ask me for a prescription?!

Zhang Zhang stared at the old man's waist carefully, and he was not wearing the belt of Jishi Medical Society!

When the old man saw Zhang Li looking at his waist, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled: "You are a ...... I'm really suspicious! I'm not from Jishi Medical Society! ”

After a pause, the old man said again: "Besides, now that the plague has subsided, what's the use of asking for that prescription?" ”

Zhang Zhang nodded, thinking: Is this such a reason, I don't know where this old man came from? Why ask for a prescription?

Zhang Zhang straightened his throat and said suspiciously: "I don't know ......"

The old man saw the puzzled look on his face, so he said: "I'm just curious, what kind of recipe did you use to cure all the plague patients in Penglai County......

Zhang Zhang couldn't figure out the origin of the old man, so he didn't speak, and he was a little cold for a while.

Seeing that Zhang Zhang was silent, the old man shook his head slightly and said, "You are young, although you have excellent medical skills, but the city government is too deep......"

Zhang Li was a little unhappy in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw that the old man was frowning, and he seemed to be a little disappointed.

Zhang Zhang suddenly felt a little depressed in his heart: What does this old man mean by saying this? I don't know him, so why do I still teach myself a lesson.

"Tension! Zhang Li - Are you here? Liu Ruyi's voice accompanied her figure, and soon appeared in front of Zhang Li and the old man.

Zhang Zhang looked up and saw that Liu Ru saw the old man and himself, and said with a slight surprise: "This, is this old man your acquaintance?" ”

Zhang Zhang was about to answer, when he suddenly saw the old man beside him trembling violently!

I saw that the old man's eyes were fixed on Liu Rusi, and he muttered, "Lanzhi...... Laneige ......"

Zhang Zhang frowned, and said in his heart: What kind of trouble is this old man doing?

I saw that the expression on the old man's face changed several times, and finally regained his normal color, and asked Liu Rushi eagerly: "Are you surnamed Yang?" ”

"Ahh - "Zhang Li and Liu Ru exclaimed in unison!

Zhang Zhang secretly thought to himself: No...... If the girl's real name is Yang Chaoyun, how can this old man know that the girl's real surname is Yang?

Before Zhang Li could react, he heard the old man speak: "This ...... Girl, do you have a cinnabar birthmark on your left buttocks, like a crescent moon? ”

Zhang Zhang had a look of embarrassment, and said in his heart: This place is really not a part that girls can easily show to outsiders, how can this old man know?

Zhang Zhang turned his head to look at Liu Rushi, only to see that Liu Ru was shocked, and his eyes were full of incredulity: "Old ...... Grandpa...... You, how are you...... Know? ”

Zhang Li's eyes turned to the old man, only to see that the old man's eyes were red, and he muttered to himself: "It's too similar!" It's exactly the same as Laneige......"

Zhang Zhang seemed to understand something, and secretly thought to himself: If the sister's parents died when she was young, her fate was bumpy, and she was later adopted by Xu Fo, a famous Ji in Nanjing...... Could it be that this old man is a sister's relative?

Zhang Zhang glanced up at Liu Rus, only to see that Liu Ru was completely stunned, trembling all over!

When I looked at the old man again, I saw that the old man had a kind look on his face, walked to Liu Ruyi's side, gently took Liu Ruyi's hand, and said word by word: "Thirteen years, thirteen years!" Back then, your parents were ...... because of the Red Pill case Alas! Don't mention it! It's all my doing! Originally, I was going back to Jiangnan to look for you, but I knew that it happened that a noble man in Beijing was sick, and I had to rush to Beijing in person, but it took more than half a year to cure his illness! When I return to Jiangnan, I won't be able to find you again, I heard that your uncle took you away......"

Zhang Zhang was suddenly stunned!

After a long while, Zhang Zhang came back to his senses and secretly thought to himself: The Red Pill case?

This red pill case is one of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty, Ming Guangzong, the father of Emperor Tianqi and Chongzhen, took the aphrodisiac "red pill" and died after taking the throne for a month......

If the death of the girl's parents is related to the Red Pill case?

Damn, this pit is too big......

Seeing that the old man didn't say too much about the Red Pill case, Zhang Zhang had no choice but to put away his thoughts.

Listening to this old man's tone, it must be Liu Ruye's closest relative!

I saw that the old man's expression darkened, and he was silent for a moment, and said, "Chaoyun, your mother is blessed and gave birth to you when she was forty years old. How do you know that I have suffered a great calamity because of me, my daughter who is wreath—"

Liu Ru blurted out: "Grandpa...... Are you my grandfather? ”

Zhang Zhang immediately looked at the old man, and sure enough, the old man nodded, and said to Liu Rus: "After your parents died, I searched Jiangnan and didn't find your uncle...... Presumably, you sent someone under the fence, and you didn't have a good time, right? ”

As soon as I heard this, I saw Liu Ru suddenly throw herself into the old man's arms and cry loudly: "I have no impression of my father and mother for a long time, and I don't know what my mother looks like...... Grandpa, I miss my relatives so much all these years! ”
