Miss Zhang Er also comes to attend the class?

Chen Ji was slightly surprised.

Prince Jing joked: "Mr. Zhang, it's okay for your Zhang Xia to attend the lectures with Mr. Wang, but you and Mr. Wang took the palace examination in the same year. He was the second and you were the first. Instead of sending Zhang Xia to Mr. Wang's place, you might as well keep him here."

Teach around yourself.”

Zhang Zhuo chuckled: "His Majesty thought that he was young and energetic, so he deliberately did not select him as the number one scholar. In terms of talent and learning, I am not as good as him."

Prince Jing smiled slightly: "Master Zhang is so humble."

Zhang Zhuo shook his head: "It's not modesty. I still remember that under the roof of the double-eaves verandah of Fengtian Hall, rows of buckets were as arched as wells, and His Majesty was sitting on a golden dragon chair. I didn't even dare to raise my head, but Wang Daosheng

Dare to look His Majesty in the eye, but in terms of courage alone, I am not as good as him."

Zhang Zhuo held the leather belt around his waist, looked up at the apricot tree and recalled: "That day in front of the palace, His Majesty asked me why I was studying, and I answered honestly that it was to become an official. Your Majesty smiled softly and said, 'Your Majesty's article "Taxation"

His Majesty asked Wang Daosheng again why he studied, but Wang Daosheng replied that of course he studied in order to become a sage. His Majesty simply said, "Twelve Strategies for Ping Japanese" is enough to be an official, but not enough to be a sage.

So, when I was fifteen and he was twenty-three, I became the top pick and he became the second pick."

After that, Zhang Zhuo smiled again: "I have been drinking and drinking with fellow officials every day for these years, and my knowledge has been wasted. It is better to learn from me than from him. In addition, Zhang Xia has been in Luo City for three years and has never had many friends.

If she can study with other people, she can change her withdrawn temperament and make more progressive friends."

Liu Quxing whispered: "She is not lonely at all..."

While he was talking, he heard a voice shouting from outside the wall: "Chen Ji, run! My father accepted a bribe from Mr. Chen and asked you to study with Mr. Wang, so as to ease the relationship between you three brothers! Run!"

, don’t let my father figure it out, Mr. Wang is so strict!”

The small courtyard of Taiping Medical Center suddenly fell silent.

Everyone slowly looked around, and after a moment, they saw Princess Baili's head poking out from the gray tiles on the courtyard wall.

"ah!"

When Bai Li saw clearly the situation in the courtyard, she was startled and leaned back. Fortunately, the prince at her feet reacted quickly and caught her, otherwise she would have fallen miserably.

The prince complained: "I have climbed over the wall dozens of times, how can I still make a mistake?"

Bai Li lowered his voice: "Run quickly, father is at the hospital!"

The Crown Prince's expression changed drastically: "You're in trouble, run away!"

Prince Jing said coldly: "Where else can you run? Get over here!"

"oh……"

There was a rustling sound from the opposite side of the courtyard wall. Bai Li, the Crown Prince, and the young monk came into the courtyard one after another and stood in a row with their heads down.

Prince Jing glanced at Chen Ji, turned around and said solemnly: "Bai Li, tell me what kind of bribe I took?"

Bai Li whispered: "I originally went to Mingzheng Building to ask you for the kiln factory's dividends, but I heard you making a condition to Mr. Chen outside, saying that as long as the Ministry of Household Affairs approved an extra sum of money for Bian Jun to purchase cotton gloves,

You act as his lobbyist and persuade Chen Ji to go to school."

Prince Jing raised his eyebrows: "This is a major matter for the family and the country, and I'm not doing it for my own selfish gain, so why am I wrong?"

Bai Li muttered: "Dad, how come you are so confident after being exposed?"

Prince Jing was not embarrassed at all by being exposed. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Chen Ji, the winter at Chongli Pass is bitterly cold. Everyone in the frontier army has frostbite on their hands and feet. They can't even see a piece of good meat on their hands. Do you think they should do it?"

Should I add some cotton gloves?”

Chen Ji hesitated for a moment: "...that's right."

Prince Jing was pleased: "I feel relieved to see you understand the general situation so well. Bai Li and Chen Ji have agreed, what else do you have to say?"

Bai Li was helpless: "No."

Chen Ji raised his hand: "Your Majesty, please wait, this is a major matter for the family and the country..."

Prince Jing interrupted Chen Ji and looked back at Feng Daban: "Give it to them."

But he saw Feng Daban with a kind face taking out several strings of Buddhist treasures from his arms and giving them to Chen Ji and others one by one.

Prince Jing sighed with emotion: "Chen Ji, this money was originally used to purchase cotton, but Prince Jing's government keeps its word and can only distribute the money to you as dividends first. I don't force you to reconcile with the Chen family, that is your own business.

All you need to do is go to Mr. Wang's place and show off, and you'll be doing me a big favor."

Chen Ji lowered his head and looked at the string of Buddhist treasures in his hand. The actual two thousand five hundred taels of silver could be exchanged for seventy ginseng sticks and light one hundred and forty fires!

He turned to look at Liu Quxing and She Dengke: "Do you two senior brothers want to study with Mr. Wang?"

She Dengke shook his head like a rattle: "I can't learn."

Liu Quxing struggled for a moment and finally said: "I would rather stay and serve Master."

Chen Ji put the Buddhist beads into his sleeves and looked back at Prince Jing: "Your Majesty, I can go to Mr. Wang's place alone. If there is no one in the hospital, my master will not be able to do it alone."

Prince Jing put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "Doctor Chen understands the righteousness well and admires it. Then we have agreed that at 10:00 tomorrow morning, you can go to Zhixing Academy next to the palace to see Mr. Wang."

After saying that, Prince Jing left, leaving everyone in the hospital looking at each other.

She Dengke said angrily: "Liu Quxing, don't you want to be an official? Why don't you study with Mr. Wang? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When he resumes his post after Ding You, maybe he will arrange an official position for you."

Liu Quxing rolled his eyes: "What do you know? Mr. Wang has been an official for twenty years and was demoted five times. Even if Jiangzhou suppressed bandits and Minzhou made extraordinary achievements in pacifying the Japanese, he still would not be welcomed by His Majesty. If it really succeeds,

If he kills his disciple, it may not be a good thing."

"Then why do Chen Wenzong and Chen Wenxiao want to study with him?"

Liu Quxing said impatiently: "Those two are from the Chen family. How can I compare with them? Instead of joining in the fun, I should concentrate on learning medical skills from my master. With my little cleverness, I can be a seventh-grade imperial physician.

If you fail to become a seventh-grade county magistrate, you might be sent to Lingnan!"

Zhang Zhuo stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Doctor Liu knows how to advance and retreat. This is the most rare thing. If I had understood this at your age, I might have returned to the capital and been promoted to Minister of Civil Affairs!"

Liu Quxing then remembered that Zhang Zhuo was still there, and hurriedly handed over his hand: "My lord, this is a joke."

"It's okay, it's okay," Zhang Zhuo looked at the prince and Chen Ji: "Zhang Xia's nature is not bad. I hope that these young men will not care about the previous misunderstanding. As the saying goes, the road is far away, and the time will see the people's hearts. Get along with each other more, you two

Then you will understand her character and say goodbye."

Bai Li looked at Zhang Zhuo's back as he walked out of the medical clinic and said confusedly: "Why do I think there is something in Mr. Zhang's words?"

…

…

At this time, the sound of birdsong was heard outside the hospital.

Chen Ji frowned, this was the signal imitated by the secret agent's copper whistle.

He quickly walked out of the hospital and saw a carriage parked in front of the steamed bun shop opposite on Anxi Street. The doors and windows were tightly covered by dark blue cotton curtains.

Beside the carriage, Xifeng was dressed as a coachman and wearing a bamboo hat.

The golden pig opened a gap in the curtains from the inside and mouthed silently: "Get in the car!"

Chen Ji looked back at the medical clinic, then turned around and walked through the crowd and got into the carriage.

The golden pig knocked on the carriage, and West Wind raised his whip, driving the carriage to an unknown destination.

In the dark carriage, Chen Ji asked in confusion: "Sir, we've only been apart for a few hours, why did you come to the hospital again?"

The Golden Pig God said mysteriously: "Don't ask so many questions. Just rest in the carriage for a while. When you get there, you will understand that great things are waiting for you!"

Chen Ji looked at the other party's enthusiasm at this time and felt uncomfortable: "Sir, why don't you still doubt me as before? I'm a little scared when you look like this."

The Golden Pig didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you talking about? I know you are angry, but from now on we are all my brothers, why do you need to be the same as me? When I ask for a way to practice for you, you will know my sincerity."

Chen Ji changed his posture and leaned on the carriage: "How can I embarrassed you to seek help from the inner minister for me? I won't be rewarded for my merits, I can slowly accumulate my merits, and it won't be too late to practice again when I am promoted to Haidongqing."

Golden Pig's expression changed: "No!"

Chen Ji looked at the golden pig and asked suspiciously: "Sir, what's going on?"

The golden pig hurriedly smiled and said: "You young man doesn't know the benefits of spiritual practice. You have also seen Tianma. The meteor shower in his hand is so powerful that even a hundred-man army has to avoid the edge for a while... Don't you think so?"

Aren’t you envious?”

Chen Ji shook his head: "No matter how powerful you are, it's only someone else's ability. I don't envy you."

The Golden Pig had no choice but to continue to confuse: "When you have the path to practice, you will no longer be a mediocre living being, but a high-ranking official. If you can step into the innate realm as soon as possible, there is no need to devote yourself to

Become an apprentice at Taiping Medical Center?"

"I'm fine at the hospital..."

The golden pig hates iron but not steel: "I know you have a problem with Mr. Chen. Let me change the metaphor. If you can step into the realm of seeking the Tao, your father will also be polite to you. If you can step into the realm of the Shinto, you

He can be considered equal to Chen Luchi, the head of the Chen family."

Chen Ji became interested: "Sir, are you in the Shinto realm?"

Jin Zhu's breath was stagnant: "No, there are only three people in the Shinto realm in the entire Ning Dynasty. I am now in the innate realm."

"How many years have you practiced, sir?"

"Fifteen years..."

Chen Ji thought for a moment: "Then I'm afraid I won't be able to cultivate to the realm of seeking the Tao."
