Teaching is too engrossed, others think it is inappropriate action, but the people who teach and learn don't feel too much, so that Rose and Willow Mei break their hearts.

"Since the lady and the old lady entered Beijing, how many people have come to the door to propose marriage, and the girl has not taken a fancy to any of them, so why did she fall in love with Lord Chen?" Liu Mei was puzzled, and her face was full of sympathy, "Isn't the girl beheaded......?"

"Bah, what nonsense?! The girl is normal, how good Lord Chen is, but she is a little ......old," Rose said regretfully, "If Lord Chen is fifteen years younger, no, ten years old!" That's good! ”

"Who said it wasn't, and now it's not the first assistant, just a commoner, and the girl is still following others, so it's just our girl, and the girls from other families have already broken off the relationship."

"I don't understand, although Lord Chen has no official position, he used to be the first assistant, the youngest first assistant in the history of Daxing, and Lord Chen is full of economic and talent, can those sons and brothers compare?"

Liu Mei nodded when he heard this, this is true.

The two people who were discussed were still concentrating, Wan Chaoyun was competitive, she must overcome the problem of uncoordinated limbs!

When she finishes one thing with one mind, everything else has to stand aside, Chen Qian watched her practice over and over again, a little stunned, but soon smiled with relief, Wan Chaoyun is this kind of person, no matter what he does, if he doesn't do it, he will do it well.

After cleaning up the depression in his heart, he cheered up and taught more seriously.

At this time, the distant White Deer Cave Academy.

The quiet academy has just ushered in a spring rain, and a few peach blossoms in the back mountain have also bloomed, causing several waves of students to write poems to it.

Under the largest peach tree, Wen Tingjun was holding a book in his hand and was looking at it intently, but he didn't notice that a few peach blossoms had fallen on his body, and even the inkstone on the table had received a few petals of pink, which belonged to the spring gift.

Lin Jianshen lifted the peach branch that fell in the middle of the road and walked towards the young man who was fascinated by the book, "Tingjun, you are here, let me find it." ”

Wen Tingjun raised his eyes when he heard this, and saw that the person who came hurriedly got up and saluted, "I've seen Your Highness." ”

"Anyway, there's no need to be polite, why can't you always remember?" Lin Jianshen shook his head, put the folding fan on the small table, sat opposite him, and his good-looking eyes glanced at the title of the book, the expected "Theory of Water Control", "I want to go back to Beijing tomorrow, will you go?" ”

"I just returned from the capital last year, my grandfather is in good health, nothing to worry about, and I plan to return to Beijing next year." He sat down after saluting, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with Lin Jianshen, and he had been a classmate for several years, and he was already very familiar with it.

Lin Jianshen took out the letter of resignation of Chen Qian and others from his wide sleeve and handed it to Wen Tingjun, "Come back to Beijing with me, the teacher, Chen Ge Lao, Yan Ge Lao and other important ministers resigned, and more than 2,000 officials were implicated in the previous innovation, and now the imperial court is the time to employ people, presumably it will open Enke, you just want to try." ”

After reading the letter, Wen Tingjun was silent for a long time, "Why did Lord Chen resign?" Aren't all the policies that are being innovated good? ”

Lin Jianshen has been friends with him for several years, and naturally understands that he is a proper reformer, not only him, but also people related to Wan Chaoyun are basically reformers.

Although he himself was a reformist, he felt irritated when he thought that Wan Chaoyun supported Chen Qian's political ideas so much.

However, Wen Tingjun's problem made him quite embarrassed, and it was difficult to innovate, which is well known, every emperor who is determined to innovate should have confidence and should not give up halfway, but his father gave up halfway.

"The descendants of the clan and many of the founding ministers, as well as the local wealthy clans, obstructed."

There was no need for him to explain, Wen Tingjun already knew, and he sighed lightly, "That's it, if Your Majesty really opens Enke, I will follow Your Highness to Beijing." ”

"Pack up, we'll leave tomorrow." Lin saw that he agreed, smiled slightly and got up to leave, and he had to mobilize a few other people to enter the capital together.

——

Near Xiaoqin Village, Wan Chaoyun was sweating profusely, and she didn't stop until she was physically exhausted, but fortunately, Liu Mei had already boiled water, and she and Chen Qian bathed and changed clothes before they came out to eat.

Rose's cooking skills are far inferior to the lack of two taels, but Wen Jiyou is used to eating the skills of missing two taels, and he also learns from others to be picky eaters, so he stayed in the capital with two taels.

"Girl, you can taste it." Rose apprehensively offered her chopsticks, making a look of waiting for judgment, her eyes as if to say that you are lightly appointing.

Wan Chaoyun took the chopsticks, took a piece of bamboo slippery meat and put it in her mouth to eat, salty and suitable, the meat is not firewood, not bad, she nodded and said: "Yes, if such a simple dish can't be cooked, don't say it's my person, I can't afford to lose that face." ”

"Thank you, girl, for the compliment! The slave and maid had only put salt twice, and they were still worried about saltiness. She patted her heart, so dangerous.

Wan Chaoyun was speechless, as her girl, the requirement for cooking turned out to be not salty?

On the other side, Chen Qian also took a bite of bamboo meat, and then nodded, "I heard that this bamboo rat is named after eating bamboo, this is the first time I have eaten it, I didn't expect it to be so delicious." ”

When Wan Chaoyun heard this, he took advantage of the situation to clip a few pieces of meat for him, and thought, can it be bad for the state to protect and privately catch illegal animals? Especially the wild ones, which are farmed in large quantities, cannot be compared at all.

"Speaking of bamboo, I want to eat bamboo shoots, the fresh kind, sir, if we see some on the road, would it be good?" In fact, she doesn't particularly like to eat fresh bamboo shoots, the main fun is to pick bamboo shoots, pick fresh bamboo shoots, and then marinate or dry them, and then fry the meat, which is the most delicious.

"Listen to you." Chen Qian said gently.

Wan Chaoyun listened to his agreement, and said: "There should be bracken this season, let's pay more attention on the road tomorrow, it just so happens that there is bacon in the carriage, and the fried bacon with bracken tastes unique!" And the coleslaw, which is really one of my favorites! ”

Speaking of eating, her eyebrows fluttered, which made Chen Qian also feel better, "When I was a local official, I ate a meal made of bracken by a farmer, which was very delicious, that is, it was cooked with bracken and rice, and it was ready to eat when cooked. ”

This Wan Chaoyun hadn't eaten it, and when he heard this, he immediately answered: "Let's pick the bracken and try it." ”

"Okay."

Unconsciously, Chen Qian's tone was a little more unconsciously doting.

After eating and drinking, it didn't take long for sleepiness to strike, which was unbearable, Wan Chaoyun felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn't wait for the bed behind her, and she could sleep when she fell to the ground, she got up, shook her head, and tried to wake herself up, "Sir, rest early, good night." ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Chen Qian to answer, she turned around and ran towards the tent, and before Liu Mei could say the words to remind her to wash, the sound of even breathing came slightly.

"That's it, the girl is tired today, let her go." Rose said distressedly.

Liu Mei thought that it was all right, the girl hated being woken up when she was sleeping, and she didn't dare to wake her up to wash, but fortunately, she had just bathed, and she just didn't rinse her mouth.

After Wan Chaoyun fell asleep, Chen Qian sat by the bonfire for a long time, he still couldn't sleep, and countless complicated and troublesome things lingered in his mind, as if to drive him crazy.

He didn't sleep, neither Willow Mei nor Rose dared to sleep, and stood at a distance waiting, yawning frequently.

Considering that the people who were waiting for him needed to rest, he got up and went into the tent, blew out the lamp, and lay down on the simple cot and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Outside the tents, the campfires were extinguished, most of the people were asleep, and there was silence all around, except for the chirping of insects and the rustle of the mountain wind beating the trees.

I don't know how long I was lying, when I heard the human voice again, the sky was already bright, Rose and Liu Mei also got up, and they were boiling porridge and boiling eggs, Xu is Wan Chaoyun hadn't woken up yet, and the people who were moving outside were extremely quiet, he sat up from the small bed, put on his shoes, and went out of the tent.

"Sir." Liu Mei happened to see the busy salute, "The slave has boiled hot water, sir, you wash." ”

"No need." He looked at the stream in the distance, walked over and washed his face directly with the cold stream water, the stream water at this time was still very cold, touching his face, his slimy head was instantly clear, and the exhaustion on his body was also suppressed by seven or eight points.

He looked down at himself in the water, haggard, and his beard seemed to be about to grow, but for some reason, he touched his beard, got up, and went back to the tent to start shaving.

Wan Chaoyun didn't get up until she woke up naturally, and when she got dressed and walked out of the tent after washing, it was already three poles of the day, and the porridge boiled by Rose was hot over and over again, except for the tent where she was resting, the other tents had all been put away and put into the carriage.

She glanced at everyone, without the slightest embarrassment, "Morning, everyone." ”

"Girl, it's the end of the hour...... Rose said in a low voice.

Wan Chaoyun: "......" is indeed a little embarrassed, but her face is as usual, and she can't see the embarrassment at all, "Mr. Early." ”

Chen Qian sat on the wheel, put down the book that blocked his face when he heard the words, and smiled warmly, "Morning." ”

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Girl, you can't afford it, how dare the slaves and maids eat first." Liu Mei said while bringing porridge and eggs.

"How many times have you said it, eat first, don't wait for me." Wan Chaoyun took an egg and peeled it, and expressed his dissatisfaction.

Liu Mei glared at Rose, touched her stomach and said, "It's not Rose yet, what do you say that there are outsiders here, you can't lose the people of Wanfu, so you don't let the slaves and maids eat." ”

"Sir is not an outsider." Wan Chaoyun peeled the egg, put it in his mouth, and when he ate it, the yolk was a little dry, and the rose was very attached to it and served warm water.

Chen Qian was also hungry, put down his book and sat opposite Wan Chaoyun and began to drink porridge, "Drink water first, and then eat breakfast, it will be better." ”

"Sir, are you having insomnia again?" Wan Chaoyun frowned, Chen Qian looked haggard again than yesterday, and the whole person was even more unenergetic.

Chen Qian was stunned, he shaved his beard today, changed into clean clothes, and his demeanor and movements were smooth and smooth, how could she see that she hadn't slept all night?

"No, hurry up and eat, it's time to hit the road." He said that he personally peeled an egg for Wan Chaoyun, "Eat another one, resist Russia." ”

He didn't admit it, and Wan Chaoyun had no choice, so he had to think while eating eggs, how could people not sleep? If you don't sleep, you'll be wasted.

She doesn't understand medical science, she can't prescribe tranquilizers, what can she eat to help her sleep?

People who eat rice are really sleepy...... No, if you're full, you'll be sleepy!

It seems to be useless to Chen Qian......

Hey, I knew this was the case, how convenient it was to bring a doctor on the road together!

On the road, the carriage walked slowly, the golden crow hung high in the sky, and the warm sunlight shone on the body from the door of the car that opened the curtain.

Wan Chaoyun, who was drowsy again, leaned on the window and glanced at Chen Qian, the curtain was opened, he was sitting in the carriage, he didn't read, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Why aren't you sleepy?

"Stop." Wan Chaoyun Road.

The carriage stopped, and Chen Qian, who was in a daze, didn't pay attention until Wan Chaoyun got into his carriage that he was startled, "Miss Wan, what are you doing?" ”

"Let's go." Wan Chaoyun commanded.

He didn't answer Chen Qian's question, he just sat opposite him, staring at him, as if he was studying some novel object, and Chen Qian got goosebumps, "Miss Wan, what are you going to do?" ”

"Do nothing, it depends on how long you can carry it, from now on, if you don't sleep, I won't sleep, see who can carry it."

Chen Qian: "......"

Half an hour passed, Wan Chaoyun shook his head, damn spring sleepiness! It's too much! She couldn't sleep!

An hour passed, and the carriage was quite bumpy, but how did it feel like a cradle? Sure enough, it was not the life of Jin Zhi Yuye, it was obviously bumpy to death, but he was still sleepy.

Can't sleep, though!

I woke up this morning!

If you go to bed again, you're going to make a joke!

An hour and a half passed, and those pure eyes finally closed, and the whole person fell asleep in the carriage.

Chen Qian shook his head, took a large coat and covered it, and sat next to her, protecting her from falling when the carriage was bumping.

When someone from a deep sleep woke up again, it was already evening, the convoy was parked at the dock, and the next thing was the waterway.

When the local Wuweiju shopkeeper learned that the owner had arrived, he immediately came over to serve, prepared a lot of dry food, not to mention, and hired a boat to send Wan Chaoyun alone.

After hesitating, it was already dark, Wan Chaoyun decided to rest for one night, and set off the next day, the shopkeeper was happy, "Owner, tomorrow the sea sacrifice, why don't you watch the sea sacrifice ceremony before leaving?" ”

"Sacrifice to the sea?" Wan Chaoyun remembered that when he was in Tianji Prefecture, it was said that there was also a sacrifice to the sea, but the place was different from place to place, and the way was naturally different.

The shopkeeper nodded, "Yes, Saihai, we have a quota for the release of life in Wuweiju, if the owner wants, the small one can be arranged for you." ”

"Release?"

"Yes, every year at the sea, some seedlings will be released into the sea, we call it release, this release is not available to everyone, we have a place in Wuweiju."

"Tomorrow is the day of sacrifice to the sea, and the one who must be released has been chosen, so why should I rob others of their glory? Anyway, I'm not a local, so I'll just go and watch the ceremony when the time comes, and I'll leave the day after tomorrow. "Song is really and Mingtong and others are in Tianmu Mountain, she is not in a hurry to go over, yes, as long as there is delicious food and fun along the way, she will stop.

The shopkeeper is impressed in his heart, worthy of being the owner, approachable! Approachable!

"Host, do you live in the backyard or in the guest house? I'm afraid the backyard can't live, our shop here is small. ”

Wan Chaoyun brought a lot of people this time, if it weren't for the big restaurant, it really wouldn't be able to accommodate it, "Inn." ”

"Well, the little one will go and arrange it for you, and ask the owner to go to our restaurant for dinner first." He said excitedly that being able to receive the owner is a fortunate thing for Sansheng!

As they spoke, the group walked into the city, it was getting dark, but tomorrow was the day of the sea sacrifice, and the streets were much more lively than before.

Suddenly, a commotion sounded, "Official, didn't you say that the tax is not collected?" Why do you need to collect it again? ”

"Why are there so many questions? If you are asked to pay the tax, you will pay. The official said fiercely.

"One or two or four dollars, you didn't have so much silver when you sold me!"

"I don't care if you have it or not, in short, this silver must be paid!"

Chen Qian stopped, there was no expression on his haggard face, as if all this had nothing to do with him, but the whole person was uncontrollably filled with anger, the kind of anger that was endured to the extreme, and could no longer be held back.

The hustle and bustle ahead is still there, and people passing by around are also discussing, "I said I wouldn't accept it, but I took it again!" Originally, the third and fourth children of my family did not go to the throne when they were born, and the court said that they would not accept it, and his father and I went to the yamen to register happily, how long has it been? Collect again! Well, I have to pay four more cents than before, where is the silver! ”

"But no, my family also three girls and four girls didn't register at first, the government said that it would not collect taxes, so I went to register, and there were four more dollars of silver, how can this be done? I didn't have any money to pay ......."

In Daxing, the poll tax and land are the main sources of treasury silver, and many people will hide the actual population in order to evade taxes, which is also a matter of no choice.

However, after Chen Qian abolished the poll tax, the population increased from less than 100 million to 200 million within a year, and the poll tax was restored, which is undoubtedly a huge amount of money.

On the streets where people come and go, the most talked about by people passing by is not tomorrow's sacrifice to the sea, but the restoration of the poll tax by the imperial court, and I don't know where to find silver.

Chen Qian suddenly felt that he couldn't hear the sounds around him, he could see that the mouths of those people were opening and closing, but he couldn't hear the sound, he tried to listen, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hear it.

A feeling of weakness came out of his heart, and it reached its peak in an instant, as if Emperor Chengtian stopped the innovation, leaving him helpless.

Suddenly, someone reached out to pull him, and a sweet face appeared in her eyes, her face was full of anxiety, and she should be shouting at herself, but he couldn't hear it.

He wanted to hear her voice, grabbed his ears with both hands, and slapped his head, but still couldn't hear anything.

Anxious, panicked, filling his heart, overwhelming him.

"Boom!" With a sound, he heard the voice, but his head seemed to be knocked open, and the pain made him instantly hold his head and shrink it, as if this was the only way to alleviate some pain.

"Sir, sir!" Anxious voices kept ringing in my ears.

Wan Chaoyun was frightened stupidly, Chen Qian suddenly fell, and he shouldn't be, the whole person was full of despair, his face was as pale as paper, and he was as shocking as a dead man.

She shouted a lot, but he was indifferent, and then he put his head in his hands, and his body trembled.

"Sir." She stretched out her hand to pull him, but her strength was too small to pull.

"Boss, I'll come." The shopkeeper called two men to carry Chen Qian into the carriage and hurried to the hospital.

The medical hall here is not small, there are two doctors sitting in the hall, Wan Chaoyun threw a bag of silver to the counter, "I want the best doctor!" ”

The shopkeeper of the medical hall saw too much of her anxious and irrational doctor, calmly accepted the money, and then called an old doctor who was over sixty years old.

Wan Chaoyun still respects the doctor, and he can't do the kind of thing like pulling other people's clothes and saying that he can't cure it and wants you to be buried with him, so he just waits anxiously for the result.

The guy carried Chen Qian into the medical hall, and the old doctor paid attention to it immediately after taking a look, and said without taking his pulse: "What stimulated him?" ”

"Doctor, what do you say?" Wan Chaoyun asked hurriedly.

The doctor instructed the medicine boy to break Chen Qian's hand hard, and he began to diagnose the pulse, just when Wan Chaoyun was about to lose patience, the old doctor said slowly: "Rush to attack the heart, accumulate depression into a disease, I will prescribe a prescription, grab a few sticks of medicine and eat it first, don't let the patient be stimulated." ”

"Doctor, is it serious?" Wan Chaoyun asked again.

"If you continue to be stimulated like this, it won't be long before you have to prepare for him, the patient has a heart disease, and the so-called heart disease has to be treated with heart medicine, this old man can't cure it, he can only treat the symptoms." The old doctor said and pointed to his head, "He has been stimulated here, I am afraid that he will often have pain in the future, pay more attention, no matter how stimulated he is, Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save him." ”

Wan Chaoyun didn't dare to question it, silently picked up the medicine and prepared to take Chen Qian to the inn.

However, Chen Qian's head seemed to be in unbearable pain, and after taking the pulse, he always maintained a posture of holding his head with both hands, and his whole body was covered in sweat.

"Put him flat, I'll give him two injections, and you can send a girl to learn some head massage techniques from me, which can help the patient relieve the pain." The old doctor is experienced and has something in his eyes.

"I learn." She is not at ease with others.

The old doctor glanced at her, "Who is he?" ”

"My teacher."

The old doctor glanced at her again with strange eyes, and finally didn't say anything, got up and went to give Chen Qian an injection, which is also miraculous, two needles down, the original pain stiffened the body, and it also relaxed.

Seeing that he was not so painful, Wan Chaoyun immediately thanked the old doctor, "Thank you, doctor." ”

"You're welcome, you come, I'll teach you to give him a massage."
