Chapter Four: A Beggar Becomes a Beautiful Woman
Boss Shen of Huichun Hall was drinking tea leisurely. For him, it was no big deal for the rebels to enter the city. He was in the business of treating illnesses and rescuing people. Whether it was the official army or the rebels occupying Chang'an City, some people would get sick. Looking for someone to see a doctor. Shen Congyi is the best doctor in Chang'an City. He worked as an imperial physician in the palace for more than ten years. Now that he is older, he opened this Huichun Tang in Chang'an City. With his help, The emperor's reputation as a former imperial physician coupled with his exquisite art, his business was not bad, and there was an endless stream of people coming to see him.
Shen Congyi finally sent away the last patient today. He took a break from the busy work and wanted to have a leisurely cup of tea. As soon as he brewed the tea, he heard a horse neighing at the door, and a carriage stopped in front of the door. There were dozens of people following the car. Strong men were lined up neatly at the gate of Huichun Hall, waiting for the people on the carriage to get off.
Xu Huaiyu jumped out of the carriage vigorously, opened the door, and Zhu Wen got out of the carriage with the dirty beggar in his arms, and went straight to Huichun Hall.
Xie Tong and Zhu Youning, who were still in the car, also got off the carriage. Zhu Youning took a few deep breaths and said with tears in his eyes: "It's true that my third uncle almost suffocated me to death for holding such a smelly person in the car."
Xie Tong pinched his little nose lovingly and said with a smile: "You little devil, your third uncle is just trying to save people, how can you care about whether he smells bad or not?"
Zhu Youning curled his lips and said, "Then if I get smoked to death because of this, will my third uncle save me?"
Xie Tong laughed and said: "Where can you be smoked to death? Besides, I'm here, right?"
Zhu Youning said somewhat unhappily: "You and your third uncle have the same idea, and you are working together to bully me..."
Xie Tong was too lazy to talk to him. After spending most of the day together, he also knew that although Zhu Youning was young, he was a chatterbox and would never stop talking. He simply pretended not to hear and walked to Huichuntang Medical Center.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Zhu Youning stamped his feet and shouted from behind: "Mr. Xie, wait for me..."
Zhu Wen carried the beggar into the hospital, placed him on a soft couch meant for patients, and said hurriedly: "Doctor, this man has a severe fever. Please take a look at him quickly."
Dr. Shen, the doctor from Shen Cong, frowned slightly when he saw Zhu Wen placing such a dirty and smelly beggar on top of the clean sheets he had just ordered to put on. He felt a little unhappy in his heart.
But when he saw Zhu Wen's arrogance, he knew he was not an ordinary person, so he stood up slowly and approached the beggar. He smelled a putrid smell. He endured the stench and checked the beggar's symptoms. , said: "This man is suffering from cold and hunger. He is not seriously ill. I will prescribe a prescription. If you take the medicine according to the prescription, you will recover in a few days."
Zhu Wen took out an ingot of five taels of silver and said, "Thank you so much, doctor. Please hurry up and write a prescription. Can we use the doctor's kitchen to cook a bowl of hot porridge for the patient to get rid of the cold?"
Seeing Zhu Wen's generosity, Shen Congyi immediately changed his expression and said hurriedly: "Dear guest, please use it as you like, use it as you like, I will prescribe it right now. I will prepare the medicine for this girl myself later."
Zhu Wen and others asked in confusion: "Girl? You said this person is a woman?"
Shen Congyi looked at Zhu Wen and others as if they were monsters, and said, "Yes, don't you know she is a woman?"
Xie Tong and Xu Huaiyu shook their heads quickly, and Xu Huaiyu glanced at Zhu Wen with some surprise, as if to say: "No wonder you are so active in saving people, it turns out you are a girl!"
Zhu Wen was a little embarrassed by Xu Huaiyu's look, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't know this was a woman at first. I didn't know until I hugged her?"
The look of surprise in the eyes of Xu Huaiyu and Xie Tong became heavier, and they both gave them a look of understanding. This made Zhu Wen even more embarrassed. He was about to explain something, but he hadn't said anything yet. Then he heard Zhu Youning say from the side: "
Third uncle likes to hug girls the most. I have seen him often hug Aunt Huang Ying, and Aunt Huang Ying bites his ear and he won’t let go..."
Zhu Wen covered Zhu Youning's mouth and said sternly: "Child, don't talk nonsense, be careful when I go back and spank you."
Zhu Wen looked at Xu Huaiyu and Xie Tong with some embarrassment. He saw Xu Huaiyu pretending not to hear, looking up at the sky, as if he was indifferent to what was going on here, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Although Xie Tong didn't know
Who was Huang Ying, but she couldn't hide the smile in her heart, and said with a smile: "I'm going to go out first, don't let the coachman leave, I will use his carriage later!"
Zhu Wen coughed dryly and said, "Huaiyu, did you hear what You Ning said just now?"
Xu Huaiyu seemed to have just come back to his senses and said: "What? What did You Ning say just now? I didn't hear you?" Although he said this, he was so happy in his heart. He thought to himself: "I didn't expect it.
, General Zhu can also do such deceitful things, who will believe him if he says it?"
Zhu Wen didn't know what Xu Huaiyu was thinking, but he also had a good temper and said with a sanctimonious look: "It's nothing, just asking casually."
Xu Huaiyu said "Oh" and looked up at the sky again, as if he didn't care about anything, but he was smiling in his heart. Zhu Wen didn't bother to pay attention to them, and ordered Xu Huaiyu to watch over the beggar, while he took the opportunity to cook porridge in the back.
.
After a while, Zhu Wen came out of the back hall with a bowl of steaming millet porridge, helped the beggar sit up, and began to slowly feed her with a spoon. Although the beggar was seriously ill and was a little confused, he still took one bite after another.
drank it.
After eating a bowl of hot porridge, the pained expression on the beggar's face faded a lot. She opened her eyes and nodded to Zhu Wen to express her gratitude, and then closed her eyes again. As soon as she opened her eyes, Zhu Wen saw that
The look in her eyes was much better than before. Zhu Wen knew that her life was not in danger for the time being, so he felt relieved.
After a while, the doctor Shen Congyi personally came over with a bowl of boiled medicine. Xu Huaiyu hurriedly stepped forward to take it, for fear that it would be bad if he fell down at such an old age.
Zhu Wen carefully fed the female beggar medicine, and the beggar fell into a deep sleep after taking the medicine. Zhu Wen then turned around and expressed his gratitude to Dr. Shen, saying: "Thank you, Dr. Shen, for your help."
Shen Congyi thought to himself: "I just do it for the sake of money, what can I say thank you for?" But he said: "That's right. Doctors are like parents. This is our duty as doctors. Why do we need to thank you?"
Thank you? Here is the prescription, I have already prescribed the medicine, and it is all here. As long as the patient takes the medicine on time and pays more attention to rest, it should be fine. "
Zhu Wen took the medicine and asked two soldiers to carry the female beggar into the car. Since he didn't know where she lived or who she was, he could only take her back to his residence first.
Since Zhu Wen was away at war all year round, he didn't have any maids or maids at home. There was only Wu Ma, who was responsible for taking care of Zhu Youning, and Wang, the nanny who was responsible for taking care of Zhu Youlun. Zhu Wen ordered Wu Ma, "Wu Ma, this woman
It was a beggar we met on the road. She was very ill and could not contact her relatives, so she brought her back. Mother Wu, please wash her with hot water, change her into a set of clean clothes, and let her stay in the house.
It’s okay to raise her for a few days and then send her to find her relatives.”
Wu Ma agreed: "Don't worry, General. There are not many good people like the General these days."
Zhu Wen smiled modestly and said: "Wu Ma, please stop teasing me. Then she will leave it to you. This is her medicine. Make her a bowl before going to bed and get some for her."
Porridge, she has been hungry for a long time and cannot eat anything too hard."
Wu Ma agreed and arranged for the female beggar to live in the room next to her own. Anyway, there were many vacant rooms in this house.
Zhu Wen smelled the stench of mud on his body, hurriedly went back and took a hot bath, changed a set of clothes, sat cross-legged and practiced the Hunyuan Wuji Mental Technique. He clearly felt the breath in his Dantian along the
The meridians traveled through the body for two days before he stood up and felt that his whole body was extremely energetic. He would feel this way every time he finished practicing, which was one of the reasons why he insisted on practicing every day.
He seemed to feel that he had faint signs of breaking through the fifth level and entering the sixth level of Hunyuan Wuji Mental Technique, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He knew clearly that the reason why senior brother Lin Yan's martial arts was much higher than his was not
Because of the moves, but because his internal strength has reached the sixth level of the Hunyuan Wuji Mental Technique, and his internal strength is much higher than his own.
Once he breaks through the fifth level and reaches the sixth level, it means that his martial arts can be on par with Lin Yan. Even if he is compared with his master Huang Chao, he may not lose much to him. After all, Huang Chao's Hunyuan Wuji Mental Technique
It’s just the seventh level of training.
Early the next morning, Huang Ying came to see Zhu Wen, and the two had a sword fight. As soon as they stopped, Zhu Wen was about to tell Huang Ying that he accidentally got a "Celestial Silkworm Vest" yesterday, but before he could speak,
, I saw Wu Ma running in hurriedly followed by a beautiful woman of sixteen or seventeen years old.
Wu's mother said while running: "Girl, you are not well yet, you need to have a good rest and don't run around..."
When Zhu Wen and Huang Ying were wondering where such a beautiful girl came from, the woman knelt down in front of Zhu Wen and said: "Wei Feng, a civilian girl, thanked the general for saving his life."
Zhu Wen saw that the woman was tall, fair-skinned, and had a haggard look in her big eyes, which added a bit of frail beauty, making people feel pity for her. Zhu Wen really couldn't compare the little girl in front of him with yesterday.
She was associated with the beggar who was rescued and covered in stinky mud, but it seemed that there was no one else but her.
Zhu Wen said hurriedly: "Get up quickly. Are you the woman we rescued yesterday?"
The woman named Wei Feng nodded and said, "She is a civilian girl."
Zhu Wen said: "Get up and talk. You are not well yet and the ground is cold. Where are you from and who else is in your family? Why are you like that?"
Wei Feng still knelt on the ground and said: "The girl's name is Wei Feng. She is from Duling County, Jingzhao Prefecture. Her ancestor was also an official. Her great-grandfather was Wei Yingwu, a poet in the mid-Tang Dynasty. Now both of her parents are dead. My eldest brother is worried about going to Beijing to take the exam."
I was brought to Chang'an because I was alone at home. Unexpectedly, I went missing with my brother on the street the day before yesterday. As a young woman, I was afraid of meeting gangsters with ulterior motives, so I deliberately soiled my body with mud from the lotus pond. I didn't want to suffer any consequences for this.
