Chapter 22 The Distinguished Guests of the Palace

A little time passed......

The palace, in the small courtyard.

Xu Changshou sat leisurely in front of the stone steps, holding an apple in his hand, he nibbled on the apple, and then looked at the birds chirping in the small courtyard.

Two birds with bright feathers were fighting in the courtyard, and Xu Changshou was suddenly distracted.

At this moment, Rouge walked in happily, clutching a pale pink handkerchief in her hand, which matched her slim pink skirt.

"Childe, Mrs. drank the decoction, and the high fever has subsided!" Rouge happily looked at his son-in-law.

"Childe!"

Xu Changshou didn't notice that Rouge was calling him at this time, but completely fell into the fight of birds, maybe this is the fun of boys!

Xu Changshou took a long time to realize that Rouge was calling him, turned around, and saw the young girl.

"So it works?" Xu Changshou couldn't even believe that his prescription had such a good effect.

It seems that sometimes piecing together can work wonders.

Rouge nodded.

Oh, Xu Changshou left his wing room and came to the main hall of the palace, his aunt Li Yan was already sitting in the main hall, although there was a cough, but it was enough to see that the middle-aged woman's temperament was already eight points delicate, and her haggard face was a lot more energetic.

Seeing that it was Xu Changshou, his aunt's cheeks were slightly crimson.

For the little rabbit cub that she usually hangs in her mouth, after experiencing the torture of the plague, Li Yan's complexion is obviously different from the past, she looked at her nephew again, naturally she was not very embarrassed, not to mention that if there was no prescription provided by Xu Changshou, she would not have been able to stay so soon.

Li Yan sat in the main hall, holding a small white porcelain bowl with a little rice porridge in the bowl. Sitting opposite was his niece Xu Xin.

Xu Changshou found a place to sit down, looking at today's meal a little different...... There are actually eight side dishes? Xu Changshou also deliberately counted.

Li Yan held the white porcelain bowl and put porridge in her mouth, looked at the annoying nephew and did not speak.

"Childe's prescription is really useful! Within a few days, Madame's illness would be cured! Rouge spoke loudly, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

Li Yan suddenly felt that her ears were hot and hot.

"It's not the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and it's not in vain that I often go to the temple to burn incense!" Li Yan interjected.

Xu Changshou snickered and almost sprayed rice.

My aunt is still so unkind!

"Brother, I heard that you were called by the county master?" Xu Xin asked softly.

Xu Changshou stopped cooking, choked and said, "No, the county master is just a medium!" ”

Seeing that Xu Xin didn't understand well, her aunt was even more confused.

Xu Changshou immediately added: "It's Lord Li of Kyoto's Xuanlu Temple!" ”

"Master Li?"

Xu Xin choked in confusion.

"It doesn't matter! Xin'er, don't forget to let Rouge change your dressing! And rouge, take care of the young lady! After Xu Changshou finished telling Xu Xin, he looked at the maid rouge who was waiting on the side.

Xu Xin nodded.

Rouge is even more confident, straightening his chest, and raising his mouth slightly, "Childe, just rest assured!" Under my care, the young lady has grown meat! ”

"Rouge!"

Xu Xin suddenly came out angry, the stubborn girl still likes to tease people so much!

Li Yan on the side was like a play, looking at the few people in front of her, she didn't bother to speak.

"Madam, there are a few adults riding horses outside the house!"

A housekeeper ran in quickly, out of breath.

Seeing that the family looked back, Li Yan put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Who? My lord? Do you have friends? Li Yan looked at the family in front of her suspiciously.

The family replied: "It's not the master, it's looking for the son!" ”

"Longevity?"

Hearing this, Li Yan's eyes suddenly became gloomy, who did the little rabbit offend again?

The relationship between Xu Changshou and his aunt has always been stiff, although he did rely on his nephew to stay, but in the short term, he still felt that it was far-fetched to change his aunt's opinion of him.

Xu Changshou originally gobbled it up and sent it to his mouth, but when he heard it, he lost interest.

Outside the gate of the palace, Li Wuzhen and Guo He rode on top of the horse. In addition, there are several handymen, who carry several wooden boxes with red silk on their shoulders.

"Two adults, this is Xu Changshou's residence!"

Zhang Xianling stepped forward to inform Li Wuzhen, followed by Master Hu.

"The palace?"

Li Wuzhen looked at the vermilion lacquer plaque on the top of the door suspiciously.

Zhang Xianling bowed slightly, "My lord doesn't know, this palace is the mansion of Uncle Xu Changshou, and the Xu family declined in the early years!" ”

After listening to Zhang Huaili's explanation, Li Wuzhen understood.

Guo He stroked his beard, then looked at Li Wuzhen who was beaming with joy on the side, and then said:

"This Xu longevity is really capable, but it's just that medicinal soup...... It's simple, but it's effective! ”

Regarding this Guo Daren's comment, Li Wuzhen did not follow up on it, but changed the topic: "The source of the plague has not been found out, so it cannot be conclusive!" This official has always been very accurate in looking at people, and if he really has the ability, I will report it to the saint! ”

At this time, a group of people came out of the palace gate.

The leader is Xu Changshou, behind him is the aunt Li Yan who is watching the excitement, and Rouge is standing aside with Xu Xin on his feet.

My aunt probably came to see him make a fool of himself, which Xu Changshou knows very well.

"Grass people Xu Changshou has seen all of you!" Xu Changshou arched his hand.

Li Wuzhen and Guo He dismounted. Walking towards the young man, he saw Xu Changshou bowing his head and hugging his fist, and stepped forward to pat the young man's shoulder.

"Xu Changshou, really impressed the official! Now the plague in Yongle County has been greatly improved under your methods, and the plague will be eliminated in a few days! ”

Li Wuzhen smiled slightly.

Seeing that she was not here to find fault, Li Yan immediately withdrew her gray forehead.

"It's all up to your lordship! The grass people are just hatchets! ”

Xu Changshou immediately dealt a good guy card past, Li Wuzhen suddenly showed a happy face, it is obvious that Xu Changshou's technology is the top class, Li Wuzhen has not had time to play the card has entered the white heat.

"There's one more thing to do! I don't know ...... Gongzi Xu is willing to do? Li Wuzhen put down the shelf and looked at Xu Changshou.

"It's an honor for the grass people, and the adults say it." Xu Changshou bowed and saluted.

"This official wants to ask you to assist this official in investigating the root cause of the plague in Yongle County, I don't know what Xu Gongzi wants?" Li Wuzhen said in a deep voice.

"Adults value it, and longevity will definitely help adults!" Xu Changshou readily agreed.

Such a good opportunity to hug your thighs, how can you let it go?

"That's great!" Li Wuzhen suddenly clapped his hands as if he had won a treasure.

Afterwards, Xu Changshou returned to Yongle County with the adults, preparing to discuss the root cause of the plague.

……

"Listening to the meaning of everyone here, it doesn't seem that he is here to trouble my brother!" Xu Xin leaned thoughtfully in front of the window of her boudoir with her chin propped up, and then saw her calling for her personal girl rouge.

"Rouge!"

"Miss? I'm here! Rouge replied.

"Who are the people here?" Xu Xin hurriedly asked the girl beside her.

"Miss, don't worry! It seems that it is just a few big officials! Rouge replied to her own lady.

"Official?"

"Hmmm! Seems to know Childe? ”

"Miss, don't worry, I don't think those big officials are here to trouble Son!"

Xu Xin nodded, she only hated that she couldn't see it, otherwise she would be able to share her brother's worries.

"Miss, it's time to change the dressing!"

The girl took a round container, which was a box with plaster, the lid of which was delicately carved, a few beautiful and delicate flowers, and two beautiful phoenixes.

Rouge removed the gauze covering Xu Xin's eyes, and the girl's delicate and beautiful eyes jumped in front of her.

I saw Rouge take out the plaster and carefully apply it around Xu Xin's eye sockets. After a while, he massaged Xu Xin's eyes and relaxed.

"Rouge, did you send the shortbread to Childe?" Xu Xin asked the girl beside her, and Rouge smiled.

"Miss, don't worry, I've already sent it over."

"Childe cute?"

Rouge said confidently, "What did Miss say?" How could the young lady's craftsman not love to eat? Here! Do you want me to show the empty plate to Miss? Rouge joked with a gesture.

"Miss, if the son wants to eat it in the future, ask Rouge to do it, why bother Miss to do it herself? Does it still hurt? Rouge took Xu Xin's hand and looked at the burned skin on his fingers.

"Miss, you look swollen, if I don't accompany you, I'm afraid this skillful hand will be humiliated!"

Listening to Rouge's words, Xu Xin suddenly recalled the way he and Rouge fried butter shortbread in the firewood room yesterday, and the two girls couldn't help laughing, and their delicate melon seed faces looked like a spring breeze.

In the county office, everyone is discussing the root cause of the plague.

"I wonder if you have eyebrows?"

In the pavilion of a small courtyard in Yongle County, surrounded by a lotus pond with fat-headed goldfish, Xu Changshou sat in the pavilion with Guo He and Li Wuzhen.

Li Wuzhen was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, the lid of the cup was knocked on the rim of the cup, and his expression was very solemn.

Xu Changshou turned to ask Li Wuzhen, who was wearing a three-grade scarlet robe.

Li Wuzhen blows hot tea.

"This official has investigated the root cause of the plague a few days ago, but nothing has been found." Li Wuzhen said frankly.

Xu Changshou rationalized his thinking.

"Didn't you miss any clues, my lord?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Li Wuzhen put down the teacup and looked at Xu Changshou solemnly.

"Your Excellency, have you thoroughly investigated Yongle County?" Xu Changshou added.

Guo He arched his hand and said, "Is there anything we haven't touched on?" ”

"For example...... Monsters! Xu Changshou immediately fell into his soul, and the two adults Li Guo looked solemn and unbelievable.

"Plague? Monsters? Li Wuzhen sorted out his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "If it is really a monster, it is indeed something that the official has not considered, but what is the purpose of the monster, just to spread the plague and create panic?" Or is there something else going on? ”

Xu Changshou explained: "Monsters eat people, they will not change for eternity, if they are just to eat people, why do they want to make a big fight, unless there is something more important than eating people!" ”

Guo He agreed.

"That being said, there has to be something going on!" Li Wuzhen kept asking, and Xu Changshou couldn't react.

"Let's think that the monster needs to create some kind of panic, or use illusions to interfere with the audio-visual and other intentions?" Seeing that the two adults were in a trance, Xu Changshou confessed his opinion.

Xu Changshou needs to have a proof at this time, and he needs to have a fact to find out the root cause behind the plague.

In addition, he also had some premonitions, in the depths of darkness, as if something unsightly was looming here.

Now, he needed to find someone, someone who could help or give him instructions, but before he could do that, he needed to know the whereabouts of that person......

The discussion was fruitless for the time being, Xu Changshou bid farewell to all the adults and decided to go to Yongkang Medical Center.
