Chapter 4 Bamboo Bars

"Nonsense, bring the owner of the pharmacy back to consult the prince, what will it look like when it gets out?"

In the main hall of the huge Yan Palace, the somewhat haggard Princess Yan nodded Xiao Lori's forehead with a helpless expression.

Little Lori grabbed Princess Yan's hand and shook it: "Sister, let him try it." ”

Princess Yan sighed, not understanding where her sister's inexplicable confidence came from, she turned to Gu Huai, who was standing in the corner and watching: "Since you are the owner of Dejitang, you should know how to use medicine, but you are so young, can you be sure?" ”

Gu Huai's heart froze, who would dare to take this?

Grasp? Yanwang Zhu Di is not crazy at all, who dares to say that he is sure to be cured?

The moment he stepped into the Yanwang Mansion, Gu Huai knew that he had guessed correctly, Xiao Lori should be Xu Miaojin, the third daughter of General Xu Daxu, and it seemed that she didn't know the inside story, so it was no wonder that she was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and she moved her mind when she heard some nonsense.

But I came to Yanwang's Mansion to diagnose money, and listening to Xiao Lori's statement, I can't see it or not, but Princess Yan's tone, why does it seem that she wants to drive people away?

"The grass people's medical skills are family traditions, although they specialize in treating incurable diseases, but listening to the description of the little county lord, the prince's condition is somewhat serious, and the grass people... I can't guarantee that it will be cured, so I have to take a look first. ”

Little Lori stared at her apricot eyes: "How do you know my identity?" ”

Gu Huai choked: "Niangniang is the eldest daughter of General Xu Da, the identity of the little county lord... It's not hard to guess. ”

Princess Yan was a little surprised: "I know a lot, have you been to Jinling?" Miaojin hasn't been to Peking in these years, and not many people know about it. ”

"The grass people are originally from the south, and they have a lot of admiration for General Xu Da, so they can guess it."

"I see," Princess Yan nodded, "Is it going north to do business?" ”

Gu Huai was silent for a moment: "The north where I fled is in the Song Mansion." ”

Xu Miaojin finally understood what Gu Huai's phrase "the owner who doesn't collect money" meant.

Knowing that the doctor who was called to the door by Xu Miaojin was actually a son-in-law who didn't understand medical skills, Princess Yan's eyes were even more helpless, she shook her head lightly, losing interest in talking.

Through the bead curtain, the sound of sometimes laughing and sometimes crying came out in the side hall, and he was very angry, it should be Zhu Di, the king of Yan who was pretending to be crazy, was acting, but it was also mixed with the painful cries of some old men, which made Gu Huai a little dazed.

What the heck?

But soon he retracted his mind and turned his attention to the unspoken man in the corner.

A black-clothed monk sitting in a corner.

After hundreds of years of development, Buddhism has blossomed everywhere in the Central Plains, and monks are not uncommon, but there are certainly not many black-clothed monks with triangular eyes and fierce faces.

What's more, is it a monk who can have a seat in the palace? So Gu Huai easily guessed his identity.

The Prime Minister in Black... Yao Guangxiao.

If Gu Huai is not mistaken, the rebellion of Yan King Zhu Di was promoted by him, and judging by his expression, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Bowing his head and chanting the Buddha, his demeanor was serene, and the Buddha beads were unhurried, as if he didn't hear the shouting of the king of Yan in the side hall at all.

However, his hand to pluck the Buddha beads suddenly stopped, and slowly met Gu Huai's hidden gaze.

"The benefactor pretends to be a scholar and is a scholar?" He folded his hands and looked compassionate.

"When I was young, I studied and should have tried the imperial examination, but I only got into the middle of the road later."

Yao Guangxiao nodded, and was about to ask again, but the bead curtain sounded, and an old doctor walked out, his robe was torn open a few times, and he looked very embarrassed.

Several people greeted him, and Princess Yan spoke: "Doctor Li, Lord Wang..."

"It's strange, there is nothing wrong with the prince's pulse, the tongue is not yellow, the pupils are not dilated, it doesn't look like he is crazy," the old doctor straightened his robe, "but the symptoms are clearly hysteria, and he is extremely irritable..."

Princess Yan was teary-eyed: "The doctors in the entire Peking have almost been invited, but they can't be diagnosed, how can this be good?" ”

Gu Huai, who watched coldly, sighed, women are really born actors, Song Jia is like this, Princess Yan is like this, Yan Wang Zhu Di is crazy thing, she can't know it, but this haggard and sad face deceived her own sisters, it's really terrible.

The old doctor was ashamed, and the eyes of several people fell on Gu Huai.

Now Gu Huai is a little difficult, look at the robe on the old man's body, is there any personal danger when he goes in to see a doctor?

But he Gu Huai is now poor and white, the silver in the Song Mansion is Song Jiaguan, and he can't touch the silver in the shop, although he should also have monthly money, but he must let Xiaohuan withdraw it, and Song Jia will know where every money he spends.

Hearing Xiao Lori say that there is a consultation fee, which is the biggest motivation for him to come to Yanwangfu to fish in troubled waters, and there is a sum of money that he can dispose of at will, which is extremely important for his next plan, so this illness today... I'm afraid I have to watch it even if I don't look at it.

Gu Huai took a deep breath, and after arching his hand slightly, he opened the bead curtain.

The side hall is not big, it is a common warm pavilion design in the north, except for a soft collapse, which is a bookshelf desk, and at this time there is a figure lying on the soft collapse, staring at Gu Huai who walked in.

This should be Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

At the age of less than forty years, he has a majestic and square face, a short beard on his lips, a little messy in the regular clothes of a vassal king, and his hair is also scattered.

Yan Wang Zhu Di was a little puzzled, didn't he send away the doctor who was invited? And what's going on with this young man?

But the actor's self-cultivation still made him ready to start the show, and he sat up from the soft collapse with both hands, first laughed a few times, then cried loudly, picked up the books on the table and threw them away, and took the time to pick up the teapot and touch the porcelain on his forehead, and the tea was poured all over his face.

But the young man on the opposite side was really a little weird, after opening the bead curtain and entering the side hall, he immediately put on a vigilant posture and jumped a step, just watching Zhu Di perform, neither stepping forward nor going out.

Now Zhu Di is a little blind, the doctor doesn't take the pulse when he sees a doctor? Seeing that this young man's body is much more porcelain than the old man just now, he still wants to make a good fuss, why is he still watching the play?

And the young man's eyes... Why is there still some disdain?

Yes, it's not curiosity, it's not fear, it's not awe, it's real contempt.

It's like disgusting yourself for acting badly.

What would be the reaction of a common man when he saw the crazy King of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Di's heart sank, and he jumped off and collapsed.

He... See?

......

The bead curtain sounded again, and Gu Huai retreated before Zhu Di could speak.

That's right, he really thinks that Zhu Di is acting too fake, he thinks he is crazy, and he thinks he is dancing a god if he doesn't know.

The moment he opened the bead curtain and saw Yan King Zhu Di, Gu Huai knew that he was thinking too much about his fear at the beginning, what about King Yan who was above 10,000 people under one person? It's not that I chose to pretend to be crazy and stupid for that position.

Ask what the power of the world is, and the direct religion promises life and death.

In essence, there was no difference between a vassal king and a common man.

So Gu Huai is really watching the play, he doesn't know how to do it, and he doesn't plan to do it, even if he has seen a doctor, anyway, this dumb lose... Zhu Di is determined.

What's the matter, do you dare to point out that he Gu Huai didn't do anything at all? On weekdays, the vassal king can take people's lives, but Song Jia and Pu Hong want to murder one of his sons-in-law, it will take some time, so many pairs of eyes watching him enter the Yanwang Mansion, the vassal king who pretends to be crazy will only dare not do it more than the pair of dog men and women.

"According to the grass people, the prince is not an evil qi entering the body, nor is it a murderous backlash, it should be a worry and illness."

Gu Huai put down the bead curtain and was serious: "It can't be cured by medicinal stones, I can only hope that the prince will figure it out by himself." ”

Everyone looked at Gu Huai, who hadn't spent half a cup of tea from entering to coming out, and the expression on his face was wonderful.

Princess Yan and Yao Guangxiao know the truth, Zhu Di is pretending to be crazy, there have been a lot of famous doctors in Beiping in the past two days, but a person who is not crazy in the first place, what can they expect them to see?

However, many doctors pulled out that "Lord Yan has been in Beiping for many years, and has used troops against Mongolia several times, and the generals on the battlefield have mostly accumulated murderous qi to get this disease".

In contrast, Gu Huai's statement is the closest, and worry becomes a disease... Can you not be worried? In July, King Zhou's family was demoted to commoners, and the court made it clear that it was going to cut the domain, and where was the most powerful vassal king in the Ming Dynasty? It is the Yan prince of Beiping.

On the contrary, Xu Miaojin didn't think about it so much, and when she saw Gu Huai's vow, she was a little worried: "I can only count on my brother-in-law to come out by himself?" How long will that take? ”

"Long is a lifetime, short is ... Half a year," Gu Huai glanced at Yao Guangxiao, meaningful, "But Yan Wang Yeji has his own natural appearance, and the grass people feel that half a year should be about the same." ”

The corners of Yao Guangxiao's eyes jumped, and his hands were folded: "Amitabha... It is best to inherit the good words of the Lord. ”

Something is wrong with this scholar.

This was the first thought that came to Yao Guangxiao's mind.

It can be seen that when he first arrived at the palace, he was a little restrained and resistant.

But once he entered the side hall, he was a little different, the restraint in his eyes disappeared, but there was a little light.

Gu Huai, who was thought by Yao Guangxiao was wrong, rubbed his hands: "Niangniang, the diagnosis gold..."

The corners of Princess Yan's eyes also twitched: "How much do you want?" ”

Gu Huai was a little shy and shy: "Or... Fifty taels? ”

Princess Yan almost laughed out loud, and after saying such a vague word, she dared to ask for fifty taels of silver? The famous doctors in Peking just now are only twenty taels of medical fees...

Yao Guangxiao on the side spoke directly: "Yes." ”

Princess Yan was stunned, her eyebrows and eyes were a little angry, but she still didn't attack, and acquiesced to Yao Guangxiao's somewhat over-the-top opening.

The bead curtain sounded again, and the maid that Princess Yan had brought with her when she got married walked out, whispered a few words in Princess Yan's ear, and retired.

Princess Yan was silent for a moment before she spoke reluctantly: "Go to the treasury to pay a hundred taels." ”

She brushed her sleeves and walked into the side hall: "Don't pass on a word if you shouldn't say it." ”
