Chapter 493: A Blessing or a Curse
Qingwan was preoccupied, only scooped a few spoonfuls of porridge, and drank it slowly, Hanguan didn't have a good appetite today as he did yesterday, and it could be seen that he was barely swallowing.
It was Lu Yanyi, although he was injured, but it did not hinder his good appetite at all, while eating, he also said: "Brother Guan, don't worry, eat more, we have to eat when we have to eat today, there is no inn on the way, if you don't eat, you will have no strength in the afternoon." ”
"Brother Lu, where is the next place?" Hanguan asked.
"Further on, it's Chengzhou." Lu Yanyi said: "After Chengzhou, it is not so deserted, and there are endless hotels and inns along the way, which is good." ”
"This guest officer is really familiar with the road," the guy came up to pour tea, and interjected: "Two days ago, there was also a person who looked like a scholar, and when he came, he kept asking questions, and he didn't go out at first glance!" also said that he was a talented person, a little vulgar, and he didn't know about these things of reading, but he looked at the guest officer who also looked like a smart person, but this road didn't make sense at all! ”
"What? Thriving people? Qingwan was immediately startled, subconsciously glanced at Lu Yanyi, and said casually: "Is the guest officer you said also a young man?" Just like my brother's age? ”
"yes," the guy wondered, "how did the girl know?" ”
"Oh," Qingwan said with a relaxed smile: "All this young school child, who has never been out, is so confused, our old guest officer, is in business, travels south and north, knows more." So as soon as you said it just now, I guessed it. ”
"The girl is really a smart person," this guy is a talker, and he still stood at the table and didn't leave, and said with great interest: "It's the guest officer I just said, I can't finish asking questions, and what do you say If you go to the capital, will you have to take this road?" He said that he came from Zhongfengzhou, and at first glance he came from a small place! Where are you more generous and imposing?"
Before he finished nagging, Lu Yanyi took out a few coins and threw them to him: "I've rewarded you!" ”
"Thank you, thank you!" The guy didn't expect to receive a reward, and Le's eyebrows smiled: "What do you have to do, just tell the little one!" ”
Lu Yanyi waved his hand, and the guy counted the money. Here Qingwan whispered: "It seems that we guessed well!" ”
"Yes," Lu Yanyi pondered: "Only two people were admitted in the state city this time, I don't know who that is?" ”
"I've asked too, but the people in the academy won't tell me, it seems that it's an ordinary person. In any case, when you get to the capital, you will naturally know. Qingwan said: "It stands to reason that although it is an admission subject, I haven't even met in person, so I won't have such a deep grudge, right?" ”
"The cost of hiring this Changhongtang person is not small," Lu Yanyi sneered: "Can you afford such a large capital, do you say it can be a trivial matter?" It seems that Brother Guan is in the way of him! ”
"This" Qingwan's face became whiter and paler.
"Don't worry," Lu Yanyi hurriedly said: "I am not at the mercy of others in the capital, and I will soon know who the person in the state city who was admitted to the talent department is, and when the time comes, I will naturally be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
Qingwan nodded: "Before leaving, change the medicine again, I want the guy in the store to find a pharmacy, grab a dose of medicine to treat injuries, boil it and pour it in the pot, and take it to you on the way to drink, so that it can get better faster." ”
"This little injury, don't be so troublesome." Lu Yanyi didn't care.
"No, it's bumpy on the road, and now it's hot, so it's better to take a dose of medicine insurance." As Qing Wan spoke, he quickly wrote a prescription, called the guy over, and told him to grab the medicine.
The guy came back soon, opened the medicine bag, showed it to Qingwan, and hurriedly went to decoction.
After the decoction was fried, it was poured into the bottle, and the man was instructed to pack a bag of dim sum to carry with him, and a few people went out to get into the car.
Along the way, it was very different from yesterday's situation, Hanguan was no longer so interested, talked a lot less, and seemed a little worried.
Although Lu Yanyi and Qingwan couldn't let go of their hearts, the atmosphere between the two was no longer so tense.
Let Lu Yanyi drink the decoction, Qingwan talked to his younger brother, deliberately distracting him, Hanguan still has some childlike temperament, and after a long time, he forgot about yesterday's events. It wasn't until Shen Shi that the carriage stopped, and the coachman said, "Young Master, we are about to enter Chengzhou." ”
"Got it," Lu Yanyi responded, and Hanguan opened the curtain curiously to take a look, only to see that this place was not as lively as Fangzhou, and there were many fewer people entering and leaving the city gate, which seemed a little deserted.
Entering the city gate, I found a big inn, put my luggage in place, and went downstairs to eat.
For most of the day, only a few pieces of snacks were used, and several people felt a little hungry, and just wanted to order food, they heard a guy over there shouting: "The seats are full, this guest officer, you better find another house." ”
"Then you can prepare me a simple snack, and I'll take it with you."
This voice was so familiar, Qingwan couldn't help but glance up, but she was immediately stunned, almost unable to believe her eyes, and after a while, she called out: "Mr. Wu!" ”
When the man heard this, he also turned around, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he was also surprised: "Qingwan! ”
This person is Wu Langzhong. I saw that his appearance was still the same as before, wearing an old green cloth robe, but his spirit was still good, his eyes were bright, but his face was already obviously showing traces of wind and frost.
"Uncle Wu! Why are you here? Qingwan hurriedly ran over: "Where have you been during this time?" ”
"It's a long story." Wu Langzhong smiled calmly: "Why did you come here too?" ”
At this time, Lu Yanyi and Hanguan also came over, said hello, and the four of them sat down at a table, and Qingwan hurriedly said, "Uncle Wu, are you okay?" ”
"Do you look like I'm sick?" Wu Langzhong said with a smile: "Now my body is getting tougher and tougher!" You haven't told me yet, how did you end up here? Are your parents okay? ”
Qingwan said about sending his younger brother to Beijing, and Wu Langzhong also smiled: "This is a great thing, I also heard about the selection of the talent department, Hanguan This child, the future is limitless!" ”
"Uncle Wu, where are you going? Come with us to Beijing, right? Qingwan was a little reluctant to let Wu Langzhong go.
Wu Langzhong smiled and said, "I still have something to do, so I can't go all the way with you this time." If there is a chance in the future, we will meet each other. ”
"Uncle Wu, aren't you practicing medicine all over the world?" Hanguan was a little puzzled: "Isn't it the same where to go?" Walking with us all the way, you can also be less lonely. ”
Wu Langzhong laughed: "I'm going to the front line this time!" ”
"The front line?"
"yes, you don't know yet, do you?" Wu Langzhong's expression became solemn: "The imperial court is about to start a war with the Turks, the army has been secretly assembled, and it will go soon." What is most lacking in the army now is the imperial doctor, and I am going to go there. ”
"Why is there no news about such a big thing?" Qingwan said strangely: "In the past, every time the imperial court sent troops, it was to announce the world. ”
"This war is different from the past," Wu Langzhong whispered, "the imperial court wants to give the Turks a surprise attack, so the news must not be exposed, and everything must be carried out in secret." Look, by the time everyone in the world knows, the war will be over. ”
"I've heard about this too," Lu Yanyi also whispered: "The relationship between the imperial court and the Turks has always been tense, and war is inevitable. It's just that most people didn't expect that this time they would use this secret way of attacking. It is said that it was General Zhu Yan's suggestion, and he also volunteered to be the coach. I don't know if this battle can be won. ”
"Lu Gongzi is well-informed," Wu Langzhong said: "I don't know about these generals." However, the name General Zhu Yan seems to have heard of it. ”
"Zhu Yan is the nephew of Queen Zhu today, young and promising, I think he is also bound to win this time, if he can succeed in one stop, it will be unlimited when he comes back."
Hearing them say this, Qingwan suddenly remembered something: "Eldest brother, didn't you say that when you went to see the teacher of Guozijian, there was a Master Zhu who had talked to you for a long time?" ”
"Yes," as soon as he said this, Han Guan also remembered, and tried to recall: "It seems that the name of Master Zhu is Zhu Anchang?" ”
"That's right!" Lu Yanyi immediately said: "That's right, it's not bad at all, this Zhu Anchang, the current secretary of the ministry, is the brother of Queen Zhu, and Zhu Yan is his son!" ”
Everyone suddenly realized, and Qingwan said: "Then this Lord Zhu is in charge of the ministry, why is he still involved in the assessment of Guozijian?" ”
"What else do you not understand?" A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yanyi's lips: "This talent department is an extraordinary assessment, that is, recruiting people for the prince, not his own uncle, who can be responsible for this?" ”
"The eldest brother once said that Master Zhu admires him very much," Qingwan pondered, "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?" ”
Lu Yanyi restrained his smile: "This is indescribable. Now in the imperial court, the Zhu family and the Su family are fighting the most, the Zhu family is the queen's mother's family, and the Su family has a concubine behind it. Now the court has been secretly divided into two factions, which is much more cruel than the battlefield. ”
When everyone heard this, they were silent for a moment, chewing on these words carefully, and after a while, Qingwan said: "Since the prince has already been established, can Su Guifei still have such a great ability to take away the throne of the queen and the prince?" Moreover, Empress Zhu is virtuous and benevolent, and has been loved by people all over the world for many years, and her position is also easy and unshakable. ”
"That being said, the situation in the imperial court is changing rapidly, who can say for sure?"
