The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 261 The King's Gossip

Atractylodes macrocephala was burning in the brazier, and both Yan Laoer and Yan Yu knew each other.

It is a blind medicine in the prescription prescribed by Dr. An.

Grandpa quickly stepped over.

Regardless of the method soil, this is a method often used by the ancients to remove dirt.

Going forward, neither father nor father dared to leave.

This team of yamen servants also stopped here.

Please ask someone to call Dr. An from Huimintang.

It was Dr. An's father who came.

The same mask covered his face, and there was a bit of fatigue between his brows.

Mrs. An first thanked Yan Laoer for sending the letter, and then asked: "This fellow looks strange, what is the relationship with my son?"

"Doctor An is currently visiting Huju, and I invited him from Yongning City that day..." Second Yan explained the situation. "You should read the letter first. Doctor An specifically told me that if there is a chance to meet him, please write him back. If it is inconvenient to write, a verbal letter is fine."

Old Doctor An hurriedly read the letter through a few lines.

Then, without a pause, I read it a second time.

The furrowed brows loosened for a while, and frown together again for a while.

"Is what my son said in the letter true? Huju's disease has really improved?"

Second Yan: "That's right. Doctor An Xiao also said that when the tiger is over, he will leave for Gufeng..."

Old Doctor An pondered: "He also mentioned this matter in his letter, and said that you have his prescription on you, can you take a look?"

Yan Lao Er did carry it with him.

Not only last time, but also the new one opened by Dr. An this time.

It is for the convenience of purchasing medicinal materials.

After thinking about it, he took out the prescription and put it on the ground.

Old Doctor An: ...

The yamen servant next to me couldn't laugh or cry, you are like us, and you are like old doctor An?

In fact, there is no need, they don't need to be treated equally.

One of the yamen servants picked up the prescription and handed it to Old Doctor An.

Old Doctor An didn't mind either, and quickly focused on a few prescriptions.

The speed of browsing is getting faster and faster.

"He... this prescription!"

Some of the medicines are extremely heavy, if he sees such a prescription in normal times, he might be so angry that he can't eat.

But at this moment, there is circumstantial evidence that the situation in Huju City is improving.

That means, these prescriptions work.

"Is it true that the patients in Hujucheng should take the medicine according to this prescription?" He asked again uncertainly.

"Not only did they take medicine, but Doctor An asked them to arrange them separately and isolate them..." Yan Laoer glanced in the direction of Gu Fengcheng, and explained the actions of Hujucheng to everyone in detail.

The old doctor An said please wait a moment, then hurried away.

Yan Laoer and Yan Yu led the ox, pretending to tie the three treasures under a tree farther away.

During the waiting time, the gang of yamen servants got rice grains from somewhere, cooked a pot of porridge, and kindly called them over to eat some.

Yan Laoer just wanted to refuse, but Yan Yu tugged at her father's clothes.

It would be too hurtful for people to invite them to eat with good intentions.

But to eat in the same pot, to be honest, they resisted in their hearts.

Looking at Gu Feng now, it looks like nowhere is safe.

Yan Laoer thought for a while, and found some crispy fried fish from the basket he brought.

"I cook it at home, and add something to the officials."

Then he dug out two bamboo tubes, gave one to Yan Yu, took one for himself, and explained with a smile: "When you are away from home, the family is worried, and I have prepared a lot of food and soup. Let’s eat what we bring, so as not to spoil it.”

The yamen servant who greeted them laughed.

I grabbed a small crispy fish and put it in my mouth, the more I chewed, the more delicious it became.

"You two are really interesting. You are so scared, why are you running out? Wouldn't it be better to stay at home..."

"In addition to searching for people and delivering letters, we...we also want to see if we can buy some medicinal materials and food to go back."

Second Yan decided to tell the truth.

"Come to Gufeng to buy medicine and food? I'm afraid you have come to the wrong place." The round-faced yamen servant who took off his face mask poked the firewood to make the fire burn hotter, and said casually.

"This..." Yan Laoer whispered in embarrassment: "Going to Gufeng is just a drop in, but we actually want to go..."

It seems that the leader of this team of yamen servants took a look at him, and said lightly: "You want to go to Changping, you can go along the current for half a day, but it's easy for you to go, and I'm afraid it's not easy to come back. Uploading things is even harder."

It was not mentioned at all that Luyinshang did not have Changping.

Some things are well known to everyone, and there is no need to say them face to face.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yan'er felt relieved and relaxed.

He took two steps forward and sat on the ground like the servants.

"This time I came out for a trip. I don't know if Changping is far away, and I don't know if I can buy medicine and food. I think Changping and Gufeng are next to each other. I am afraid that the medicine is not far from Yongning City, and they are all transferred. Come here, it’s fine if you can buy food, let’s think about the medicinal materials..."

A tender-faced yamen servant sneered: "Then you are thinking wrong. We can't adjust the medicine in Changping. They are waiting to sell it at a high price. Even the price of food is higher than other places. You go to Changping. It’s better to go upstream to Longxing.”

"I'm going to Longxing!" Yan Laoer hurriedly said: "I just came back a while ago. Isn't it a long way to Longxing? I thought Changping would be closer, and the other one is next to Linhai and the port. Wharf, why is it better than our border towns?"

"You guys just came to Guanzhou and don't know the inside story. This old man in Changping is not ordinary. He is from the capital. He has a solid foundation. Since he took office, he has not entered our Yongning City a few times. I am afraid that even the gate of the palace is open. I don't even know..."

"Shi Shu! Silence!"

"Boss, I..." The tender-faced yamen servant still wanted to explain something, but was glared at by the team leader, and then lowered his head without saying a word.

Yan Laoer didn't want to end this topic.

There is no way to inquire about such secrets involving the prince and the grand master of Yicheng.

That is to say, the yamen servants in Fucheng, who are familiar with people and have a lot of contacts, can know a thing or two.

"Then he really shouldn't." Yan Laoer said angrily: "My brother, our family, our whole village, all rushed to the prince. Our hometown is in Qishan Mansion. Think about it, we walked all the way here. Yes, how far the road is, the sky is dry, and it is not easy to find food and water. This journey... Alas! It is really hard!

What we picture is just the character of the prince. We have heard that the prince is benevolent and righteous, even if Guanzhou is colder and farther away, we will come. We just want to follow such a good prince, and we will definitely be able to Live it up. "

Yan Lao Er was blowing his magic.

Then he helped fight the injustice: "What about the old man of Changping? This Guanzhou is the fiefdom of the prince, and the official is older than him. He is in charge of it. How do you say that word, debriefing? Is that how it is said?" , Don’t talk to the prince about how he is doing as an official in Changping? Is there anything difficult? If you have nothing to do, please go and ask for peace.”

When he said this, an elderly yamen servant couldn't help it.

"Please greet me? The old man is very arrogant, and he is afraid of getting involved with our prince. I heard from my neighbor's relatives who work in the palace that the old man's family in Changping is still related to our prince."

"Still a relative?!" Yan's second child exclaimed, and his shocked expression delighted him.

The older yamen servant continued to break the news: "I didn't expect it, whoever said it would believe it, but it's true, otherwise why would he be special, not to mention far away, the master of Gufeng City, you master of Huju City Master, whoever is not sent by the imperial court to serve the prince is sincerely convinced and respectful, who is like him..."

The head of the yamen servant coughed at the right time, and the elder yamen servant stopped talking.

The lawsuit between eyebrows did not stop, and he winked at Yan Laoer.

Yan Laoer also responded with a flexible and rich facial expression, expressing that he had eaten the melon.

Yan Yu was very excited when he heard it, he was so overwhelmed that he scratched his heart and liver.

This is the gossip of King Ying of the fief Guanzhou.

ah! Let it come more violently!

"Our grand master of Huju City is really a good official, otherwise how could we be settled there? Grand Master Tian told us all the ways of getting registered in each city openly and honestly, and we didn't hide anything. I feel that Mr. Tian is sincere, and I heard that he tightened his belt to build the city wall, and blocked the Beibei outside, preventing them from entering...

There are many wastelands in Huju, so we finally chose the place near the river, which has mountains and water, and is close to the three cities of Fenghuju in Yongning Valley.

Mr. Tian has prepared enough, and the resettlement food is full of two catties, three months of rations, and the people in our village are very grateful. "

Yan Laoer thought they were very lucky, they were chased from Huju City into Guanzhou, but unexpectedly, they landed in a good place.

It's not how happy the tiger is in the city.

The key lies in the people, the master in charge is wise and kind, and the future development of Huju City will not be bad.

Judging from Mr. Tian's several actions, he is a very good official.

Blessed are they.

"Master Tian's reputation, we have also heard about it in Yongning City, you are right that you did not stay in Gufeng, look, this is not proof." The elder yamen servant pointed at him.

Yan Laoer followed his fingers and looked over, sighing inwardly.

Since he thought they were Huju who went from Gufeng, and he didn't explain, it would be misleading.

Why do you enter Guanzhou from Huju? It's best to rot in your stomach and don't even mention it.

Yan Laoer said very sincerely: "Actually, I think what we do at Huju is pretty good, and Gu Feng should learn from it. Maybe... maybe it will be fine."

This can't be guaranteed, but if he can say it, he will try to say a few words as much as possible.

"It's a pity that my brother's words don't count. What do you think we are here for? Gu Feng is seriously short of manpower. That's why we were transferred to collect corpses."

Second Yan: ...

"They are short of people to such an extent? They don't even have a body to carry the body?" Second Yan was shocked!

To what extent is there a shortage of people? Could it be... that everyone in the city is sick?

so serious! ! !

"There is a shortage of people. As for why we are assigned to do this... Haha! The child has no mother, it's a long story." The old yamen servant vigorously poked the firewood a few more times, and it was impossible to poke the firewood. Heaped up.

The round-faced yamen servant nodded sullenly and brought back the firewood that had run out.

The atmosphere was a little gloomy.

Yan Lao Er and Yan Yuqian looked at each other.

Is this offending someone?

Was dispatched here?

Seeing the expressions of the father and son, the head smiled a little: "Your kid looks very clever."

"My head is still quite clever, but I can't do it. I can read a few words after studying with his uncle." Yan Lao Er said, considering his words.

"Oh? But if you go to school?"

"My brother and nephew are going to take the exam next year. Now that I've said this, let's ask a few more cheeky questions. I heard that many people have been admitted to the scholar and then entered the government school. Is it better to study there? Is it better to study in our county?" Yan Lao Er asked.

"Of course." The head of the yamen servant gave an affirmative answer.

"In the three border towns of Huju, Longxing, and Fengming, the county schools are useless, and there is not even a teaching instruction. How is it different from self-study at home.

Don't look at us as rough people, every year of the township examination, we take turns to serve in the examination room, and we have seen a lot, so we naturally know something.

There are many doorways here.

It's just that there are few scholars in Guanzhou, but every year there are people who pass the examination as a scholar. How many people can pass the exam every three years? A scholar who is not ranked is not reconciled, and has to take the second three-year exam, the third, the fourth..."

The round-faced yamen servant interjected: "Scholars outside of government schools are less likely to be admitted to Juren."

"Why do you ask about the exam? Could it be that...your brother and nephew are both scholars?" the tender-faced yamen servant asked in surprise.

"No, no!" Yan Er waved his hands repeatedly and said, "My elder brother is a scholar. My eldest nephew hasn't started the exam yet, so he has to start from the beginning. It won't happen next year, one in spring and one in autumn, if he is lucky Well, maybe I can go to the country test with his father..."

Thinking of this, he paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's not like father and son enter the examination room together, right?"

"If father and son can be elected together, it will be a good story." The chief of the yamen servant said with a bit of solemnity.

They only knew that this eldest brother named Yan was a bookkeeper in Huju City and was a scholar, but they didn't expect that he was actually a scholar.

A scholar from the foreign government!

Going to their barren land of Guanzhou is much easier.

Whether they want to admit it or not, it is a fact that the scholars in Guanzhou are no better than those in other big prefectures.

"Hey! Our elder in Huju City even said that my nephew should go to the county school to study. He personally instructed him. Who would have thought that the epidemic would spread to us from Gufeng. The matter of enrolling in school would naturally be delayed. Otherwise, Heng Er will definitely be more confident if Grand Master Tian gives advice."

"Your elder brother is a scholar, and your nephew can't be wrong. Speaking of which, have you been humble just now? Saying that you can't study well..." said the elder yamen servant.

Yan Laoer hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I am really from the bottom of my heart, absolutely, absolutely, the truth, my family's smart brains are all grown on my elder brother and my eldest nephew, oh, and my family's kid, I am a When I read books, I get a headache, and when I read too much, I feel sleepy, so I don’t have the habit of reading!”

He tried his best to blacken himself.

A few people laughed, but were dubious.

Okay, the eldest brother in the family is so powerful, the eldest nephew is also good, and the son is also smart, so he can't do it alone?
