Chapter 20 Wei Laosan

"White Lotus Sect?"

In the Qianfu Garden, Gu Huai sat on the opposite side of the chessboard and picked up a chess piece, his face was a little weird: "How did you run out of such a thing..."

The plague was resolved, and Qian Lao's demeanor was much more relaxed recently, and he picked up the teacup lightly: "Haven't you heard? ”

"Naturally, I've heard it... I just didn't expect it to happen. ”

"It has lasted for many dynasties, and when Daqian founded the country, he respected the Buddha, and naturally he was suppressed, after all, the White Lotus doctrine is closer to Taoism, and the practice of opening the altar of the Holy Mother of Heaven is a kind... But you also know that at most, it is to let it be half-dead in a remote place, and it is not easy to completely eradicate it - presumably Jiangning Fu Yin also thought of this, so he did not make a big move in the refugee group, but he did not expect such a cultist to be so bold as to dare to use the plague to preach. ”

Gu Huai nodded: "The plague is not over yet, naturally it is mainly for disaster relief, and there was a fuss a few days ago, so it is naturally not good to lift the knife in a short time, but it is not certain whether it will settle accounts after the autumn." ”

Qian Lao's expression was quite agreeable, he looked at Gu Huai fixedly for a long time, and suddenly showed a smile: "This time... I'm afraid you've made a lot of money? ”

Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little shy: "How much I have earned some hard money, but it is definitely not enough to do something, and I have been thinking about ways to make money recently... Won't Qian Lao say that I am covered in copper stench? ”

"Saving so many lives, where did the copper stench come from?" Qian Lao laughed, "But from beginning to end, the old man hasn't seen you show up much, where does the word 'hardship' come from?" And the old man has only recently woken up, and he has obviously made up his mind to retire and no longer accept treatments, and he writes books and says wholeheartedly, but the result is not that he is going to your medical shop every three or five days? You clearly tricked the old man into becoming a doctor in your medical shop. ”

"Isn't it a pity that Mr. Qian has medical skills and has retired like this? But then again, I don't seem to have seen Brother Li these days. ”

"I came to resign yesterday, and I went to the capital with a half-level transfer, and the old man persuaded him for a while, but he still couldn't persuade him to come back."

Gu Huai knew in his heart that he was sent away before the disaster relief was finished, and most of Li Di's political achievements this time were still peached, but he was transferred to the capital to gag his mouth... But this matter didn't have much to do with him, so he didn't ask any further.

Qian Lao thought about it, and still asked the question that he couldn't figure out in the past two days: "Since the 'penicillin' has been tried to deal with sword wounds, and now it is quite familiar with the production, why don't you announce it to the world?" ”

asked more implicitly, probably because he felt that Gu Huai had the intention of hoarding Juqi, Gu Huai was only slightly stunned, and he understood what Qian Lao was worried about:

"There's no need... It is unrealistic to make money by pointing to this, you can't always label it as a gold sore medicine and let people sell it along the street, if you insist on waiting for war or plague to make the country difficult to make money, maybe when you will be cut leeks, it is better to publish the prescription directly and earn some fame... Well, it's good in the name of the medical shop and the money guys. ”

Qian Lao was stunned for a moment, Rao is he expected all kinds of actions that Gu Huai might have, and he couldn't help but praise the atmosphere of giving up thousands of wealth: "In this way, it will really benefit the world... But if you use the name of the old man and a group of friends, will it steal the limelight from the medical shop? ”

Gu Huai smiled subtly and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, it's good." ”

The chess pieces continued to fall, and after going back and forth and chatting about some things in the medical shop, seeing that it was approaching the afternoon, Gu Huaicai withdrew his gaze from the chessboard and stood up:

"There's still something to do, so I'm going to have to go down here today... But just now it reminded me that there are rich old people, and some things can be tried. ”

"For example?"

"How about trying to cure smallpox?"

Qian Lao's hand stroking his beard stopped, and the look on his face that he often had when he talked to Gu Huai and felt that most of his life had been in vain:

"Smallpox?"

……

From Pingjiang Mansion back to Jiangning, the fastest way is to take the official road under Qixia Mountain, when you can see the unique beautiful peaks of Qixia Mountain from afar, it proves that Jiangning is not far away.

The brocade sleeves of the gold weave faded slightly with the action of lifting the curtain, revealing a snow-white wrist, Li Mingzhu, who had finished reading a book of war, looked at Qixia Mountain, and his eyes were a little lonely.

This more than half a month has been in vain... There are so many old ministers of the Great Wei in Jiangnan, and now they will show the same expression when they see her, and some officials who dare not let her finish their words will also put on a banquet with great fanfare, surrounded by people from the big family, and block everything she wants to say - or is this also a kind of action to show loyalty to the capital? The princess of the previous dynasty came to visit the old ministers, and if it was a family banquet, it would be another matter.

I don't know if the old man who went to visit at the beginning spoke too directly to the hearts of the people, these days Li Mingzhu always feels that his inner fatigue is much deeper, and there are some things that can't be stopped at the beginning, but the most desperate thing is that the road seems to be halfway to the end.

Sighing softly, his slender hand was about to lower the curtain, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the endless stream of people on the official road in the distance, the plague outside Jiangning City was serious before leaving, and he didn't see any people on the official road to Jiangning these days, so it was really strange for such a large group of people to suddenly appear.

The armored knight at the front of the convoy stopped, and the palace people who were sweating profusely ran over and said the situation that Yang Wu had led people to ask, and before he could say a few words, Li Mingzhu's face, which had always been indifferent when he left Jiang Ning, also showed some strange expressions:

"What?"

The palace people repeated: "Your Highness, those people are refugees from outside Jiangning City, who went to Qixia Mountain, they said... Said to set up a shrine for His Royal Highness and set up an inscription. ”

This time I left Jiangning for more than half a month, but Li Mingzhu was not worried about what was going on in Jiangning and she didn't know when she was traveling, the reason was that a secret letter would be sent to her desk every day, but those secret letters did not explain what was going on in front of her.

After a long silence, she spoke: "It's impossible for everyone to be hysterical... Did they say why? ”

A look of disbelief appeared on the faces of the palace people: "They say that His Royal Highness is a living Bodhisattva who walks the world to save suffering, and some say that His Highness is the incarnation of the Virgin Mary, who cured the plague outside Jiangning City... Commander Yang said that he was afraid that those refugees would collide with His Highness, so he would not bring them to the front to ask. ”

"Anything else?"

"And," the palace man swallowed, "and they carry the idol... Commander Yang asked the slave maid to come over and ask His Highness, do you want to go over and have a look or go back to Jiangning directly? ”

Idol... It sounded more and more outrageous, Li Mingzhu was silent for a moment, lifted the curtain, looked at the bustling crowd in the distance, and saw the huge statue of the ragged crowd at a glance.

It's her face that's engraved.

"In the end... What happened? ”
