Chapter 1 The Four Sons of the Confucian Family

Next Chapter

Ten years of Dali Yongde.

Early autumn, morning.

Located on the north bank of the Qianjiang River, the bustling Jiangbei City has started a new day as usual.

At the home of Kong Zhongda, the first doctor in Jiangbei City, there were servants sweeping the floor in the courtyard early in the morning and tidying up things.

In the west wing of the back courtyard, two people in gray-brown servants, a young girl, and an elderly mother-in-law, chatted while cleaning up the house.

They cleaned up the room of Kong Zhongda's fourth son, the furniture in the room was delicate and elegant, and a carved jade vase in the middle of the table was glowing with a cold light. Inside the bottle is an autumn chrysanthemum, which is dazzling white in the sunlight that shines in from the slanted window.

"Where did our fourth son go early in the morning?" The mother-in-law asked.

"Didn't you go on horseback yet?" The girl replied.

"Horseback riding again? She really doesn't look like a ...... Son. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." The girl sighed, "Now that she will soon be nineteen years old, how can she hide this, she can't grow a beard." ”

"yes, she can't grow a beard." The mother-in-law also shook her head and sighed.

The two were silent for a moment, then began to talk again.

"You said that the fourth son of our family, what kind of evil did he fall for a few days ago, all of them were talking about things that we didn't understand." The girl said as she wiped the vase.

"Who knows, it feels like she's been a little abnormal since then, alas, maybe the fall broke her brain, but fortunately, it's back to normal." The mother-in-law said with a sweep.

"yes, it's better to be much more normal now. Otherwise, it would be too scary to keep going like this! ”

The two were chatting when they heard a crisp laugh outside the door.

They knew that it was the crazy and torturous fourth girl again, oh no, the fourth son was back.

Before anyone arrived, the voice came into the door first: "Who said I was scary just now?" Is it that scary? ”

The voice lagged behind, and the person also entered the door, dressed in a white man's dress, with a slender figure, a face as white as porcelain, black hair tied high on the top, and a pair of ink-like eyes shining with a smart light.

"No, no, you're not scary, you're hurting." The mother-in-law had already come out of the back room, and by the way, she stranded the messy hair on the four sons' hair.

"But I say, you'd better ride less horses in the future, and what if you fall off your horse again?"

"Mama Yu, don't worry, I will be careful."

"You have to be careful, now that your father has traveled all over the world, the family is relying on you to practice medicine. If you fall ill again, how can we still open this medical hall? ”

"I know Mama Yu." The four sons said and went into the back room, took off their shoes, and lay down on the bed.

Riding a horse today is really exhausting to her.

Mama Yu entered the house on her hind feet, and when she saw her like this, she shook her head and sighed, and said in her heart for no reason, "This really doesn't look like a lady." ”

The four sons closed their eyes and were thinking about their own thoughts.

She was worried that her father, Kong Zhongda, had set off for the world yesterday, and his reason was that those who practiced medicine had to travel around and see all kinds of difficult diseases before they could improve their medical skills.

And she, as the "fourth son" of this family, as the only "man" in this family, had to disguise herself to practice medicine on his behalf.

She is not skilled in medicine, which is what worries her the most.

And her predecessor, the original fourth girl Qingzhi of this family, is known to the outside world as the fourth son Qingzhi, because she has been studying medicine since she was a child, she can take on this important responsibility, but she, as a person who has just come to this era for less than a month, although she is a Chinese medicine student, but after all, she has no experience in medicine.

Kong Zhongda didn't know when he would come back, and she was worried that she would mess up the brand he had worked so hard to build during his absence.

Thinking of this, her brow furrowed, and the good mood she had had in the morning because of riding a horse was immediately swept away.

She got up, picked up one of the large stacks of medical books on the bedside table, and read it.

These dense ancient characters are difficult to identify, not to mention, and have a hypnotic effect.

It didn't take long for her to fall asleep on the table when she couldn't open her eyes.

"Green branches, green branches."

Someone was calling her.

She looked up, it was Kong Zhongda's wife, her mother, Guo.

During this time of getting along day and night, she has long regarded her as her biological mother. And because she has some memories of the original body, her feelings for her are natural and don't need to be deliberate.

Although Guo is nearly 50 years old, he can still see traces of his beauty. Right now, dressed in a plain white dress and meticulously combed with her hair, she was standing in front of her bed, looking down at her with a look of pity and pity.

"Mother." Qingzhi raised his drowsy head and answered.

"Hurry up and sober up, the third son of Lord Lu's family, Lu Shikang, said that he was beaten and asked you to treat him."

I'm really afraid of something, Qingzhi never expected to go to practice medicine on behalf of his father so soon.

The sleepiness just now suddenly disappeared, and it was immediately replaced by worry.

"Mother, can you send Qian Liu?" Qian Liu was an apprentice of his father.

"Then what kind of business, you also know that it is the Lu family, all along, they only recognize your father and you. Let Qian Liu go, I'm afraid he will be kicked out. ”

"Then can you refuse and let them go to another doctor?"

"Since then, our family has lost the Lu family's business. If you don't go once, people won't call us in the future. Guo wondered why her daughter refused to practice medicine so much today, and usually, she was happy.

Besides, she remembered that she had also been to the Lu family once, that was the year before last, and she had only been there once. She didn't say no no no at all.

"You'd better go." Guo Shi said as he touched her hair.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Qingzhi sat up, straightened his hair, and said, "Okay, I'll go." ”

Now she only begs that the illness of the third son of the Lu family is a minor illness.

After getting up, she walked to the pharmacy in the vestibule of her home to get the medicine box.

Behind her, her mother Guo Shi looked at her worriedly, she always felt that the four daughters she loved the most were surprisingly strange in recent days, but she couldn't say what was weird.

Ever since she fell from her horse and woke up, she had felt that she was a little strange, so she had been vaguely worried in her heart for many days, but today, she smelled a little different from usual. In the past, her precious daughter had never refused to practice medicine once.

Qingzhi walked all the way through the porch to the pharmacy located on the east side of the vestibule of the house, and saw Qian Liu, dressed in a light black robe, reading intently in front of the long black table in the pharmacy. The book was unusually heavy, the pages were yellowed, and the corners of the book were worn out.

This Qian Liu is a distant relative of the Guo family, who is sixteen years old and came here as an apprentice five years ago. Over the past few years, I have accumulated a lot of medical knowledge and experience here.

She had an idea in her heart, approached Qian Liu, and said flatteringly: "Little Liuzi, accompany me to a place." ”

Perhaps, if she makes any mistakes, Qian Liu can help save her?

On the way there, she could have told Qian Liu that she had forgotten a lot of things during this time due to her fall from the horse, including her medical knowledge. When she arrived at Lu's house, she was a person who asked the patient for warmth in front of the bed, and Qian Liu came to prescribe medicine.

"Where?" Qian Liu's eyes lifted from the heavy book, glanced at her, and said.

"Governor Lu's house."

"Why did you take me today?"

"It's too boring to be alone on the road, find someone to chat."

Qian Liu was a little puzzled, these four sons had never been allowed to follow in the past. In the past, he didn't let him go with him, but today he even proposed to go with him for the first time, this is the sun coming out of the west?

However, since the fourth prince asked for it, of course he went there gladly.

The two went out, Qian Liu took the medicine box, Kong Qingzhi had nothing, and rushed to Lu's house.

If you want to talk about the place where the two of them went, it was the most famous place in Jiangbei City.

Who in Jiangbei doesn't know the Lu family, the prefect of Lu?

Don't say that Lu Governor's Mansion is loved by the people as an official, just say that the third son of his family, Lu Shikang, is a famous character in Jiangbei City.

There are poems in Jiangbei City:

The third son of the Lu family, the most gentleman in Jiangbei,

In the whole Jiangbei City, no one is unsurpassed.
