Chapter 11 Arrival in the capital
On the fourth day, they had traveled dozens of miles, crossed a small hill, and finally saw the magnificent and huge city gate not far away, and the merchants and residents who kept passing back and forth at the city gate.
The convoy drove into the city gate, and several soldiers guarding the city obviously knew Major General Wang in the convoy, and saluted very respectfully, and then easily let the convoy enter the city.
Su Jin came to the capital for the first time, and he had infinite curiosity about this city, and when he sat in the carriage, he clearly heard the noisy and chaotic footsteps outside, and there were many vendors who bargained for the purchase and sale of things by the residents.
"Why is this thing so expensive, there are only five copper coins on West Street, you want seven, can you sell it for five?"
"Grandma, our small business doesn't make money at all, and besides, this street is basically at this price, where will there be a price of fifty copper. ”
"Hey, what do you mean by this, it's like my mother-in-law and I lied to you, I don't believe you go to West Street to take a look. ”
Su Jin lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw the quarrel between a grandmother over sixty years old and a middle-aged uncle selling vegetables.
The streets are full of people, the streets that were quite wide seem to be a little crowded under the turbulent flow of people, those men and women are gorgeously dressed, it is summer, many women are just wearing thin long skirts, calves and arms reveal a large area of white and pink naked flesh, and some women have very low necklines, you can clearly see the turbulent white and tender cleavage.
The Han Empire is open to the people, especially the capital of the empire, compared to the extraordinarily tightly wrapped girls that Su Jin saw in the Taoist temple, what he saw here made him particularly surprised, they all said that the women in the capital were open, but he didn't expect it to be so open.
The convoy walked through one street and then turned left into another, and the street was still as bustling as it was, and the sound of reading could be heard from the platform of a tall building.
"Spring will rain when it comes, flowers will bloom in summer, autumn will fall in leaves, and snow will fly on the winter solstice. ”
This is the most common song of the four seasons in the Han Dynasty, and it is also an enlightenment reading for children to enter private schools.
After walking for a while, the flow of people on the road became more and more scarce, but the buildings were becoming more and more magnificent, and in front of an unusually magnificent door, the carriage stopped, and Su Jin knew that the destination had arrived.
Yan'er helped her young lady get out of the car, and then Su Jin carefully got out of the carriage with the help of a soldier.
He raised his head, and the first thing he saw was the golden golden plaque, which had three big characters written on it, Su Jin couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this, he guessed that this young lady must be a little back, but he didn't expect that the back jing was so strong.
The two guards in front of the red gate of the General's Mansion saw that the young lady was back, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Miss, you are back." ”
As he spoke, he opened the door, and as soon as the door opened, he saw an old man wearing a black plaid robe, a gray veil on his head, a long beard and white hair, and a kind and extraordinary smile walked out of the door.
The old man said hoarsely to Shangguan Yanyun with a smile on his face: "Miss, you are back, so ...... Where's the gentleman?"
The gentleman was naturally talking about the miracle doctor that the young lady had visited, and the old man was looking around in the line for the so-called miracle doctor.
Shangguan Yanyun said with an amiable smile: "Steward Li, the divine doctor has not been found....but the apprentice of the divine doctor has been invited by us. “
As he spoke, he moved his body away and looked at Su Jin with a smile.
That Steward Li looked at the young lady's eyes, but his heart was excited, and he thought, this disciple of the divine doctor is inevitably too young.
Looking at Su Jin's immature and young face, he couldn't help but have some doubts about his medical skills, and Steward Li asked suspiciously, "This... How old are you, little master?"
Su Jin said embarrassedly: "I am fifteen years old this year. “
Fifteen years old! At such a young age, thinking of this, this Steward Li is even more unconfident in the medical skills of the young man in front of him, even if he is a disciple of the divine doctor, but how much can he learn from the divine doctor at such a young age.
Thinking like this, he invited Su Jin into the gate very respectfully, and the group entered the gate, Steward Li instructed his subordinates to arrange for Su Jin to wait in the living room, and when he heard that Su Jin was injured, this Steward Li was even more frightened, and asked a few soldiers in the group about something, and then his face changed one after another, and finally it was extremely difficult to see, he instructed a few little maids to take good care of Su Jin and led Shangguan Yanyun to go.
"What a bold man! Su Qin, this old thing, is really bold, so daring!"
Shangguan Yanyun walked into a study in the mansion, her father Shangguan Yanming sat on the chair, the tea bowl in his hand gurgling, the gray beard under the old face trembled slightly, and the resolute eyes were full of cold and piercing murderous intent and anger.
Shangguan Yanyun stood in front of the old man, her tired and nervous spirit swept away, she looked at her angry father and said, "Father, fortunately, that little master blocked a sword for me, and my daughter is simply fine." ”
"Oh?" Shangguan Yanming was furious but did not lose his senses, and hurriedly asked: "Which little master? Where is he, such a benefactor is not invited to the mansion to prepare a banquet and treat him well." “
Shangguan Yanyun smiled and said, "He is in the mansion now, and this little master is the one I invited to treat my brother's strange illness." “
After speaking, the old general was even more surprised, only to hear that the man was in the mansion, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and take me to meet the young man." “
"Look at that young man, he is the miracle doctor brought by the young lady?"
"I'm too young, how do I look like a liar. “
Su Jin sat in the living room, cautiously drinking the tea on the table, because he was nervous and because of the strange glances cast by the two little maids in front of him, he was uncomfortable.
After a while, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and Su Jin stood up politely.
Then the door creaked and was unceremoniously pushed open from the middle, and then I saw a very dignified old man walk in, followed by the housekeeper Li, and Shangguan Yanyun.
"Hello sir. “
The two little maidens bowed and saluted.
The old man nodded, and then looked at Su Jin with a smile on his face, Su Jin saw the old man and knew that this must be the old general in this mansion, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Good general." “
The old general waved his hand, strode to the top seat and sat down, looked at the young man in front of him and said with a smile: "What a young hero, I heard Yan Yun say about you, not only can you have good medical skills, but also good skills, not bad!"
Su Jin was praised by the old man, but he didn't dare to compliment him, and hurriedly saluted: "Boy....It's just an ordinary person, just learned a little bit from the master, that's nothing." “
He is telling the truth, he is indeed an ordinary person, to be precise, he may not even be as good as an ordinary person, he only followed the master to learn medical skills for a few years, he doesn't know how to practice, so he read a lot of books in Taoism, and he learned a few obscure moves, but in order to learn these he paid several times the price of ordinary people, and suffered a lot of hardships that ordinary people can't bear.
