Chapter 39: The Cai Family in Xiangyang

Passing through the vast Huoyang Mountains, Luyang is still vivid in my mind. Unfortunately, even though I have entered Nanyang territory, I still have to walk a lot of mountain roads to reach the Nanyang Basin. Fortunately, I have the famous scholar He Yong as my companion, so I am not lonely. The two of them discuss current affairs both ancient and modern. , Wancheng is already in sight.

Nanyang County belongs to Jingzhou, and its administrative seat is Wan. Due to its vast territory, fertile soil, and good supply of gold and iron, the county has a total of 500,000 households and a population of more than 2.4 million. You must know that Liangzhou only has more than 70 people in its territory. The population of 10,000 is less than one third of Nanyang.

Nanyang connects Luoyang to the north and Xiangyang to the south, which is exactly at the crossroads between the north and the south. Not to mention the distant ones, Shizu obtained it and laid the foundation of Heluo; Yuan Shu obtained it to resist Dong Zhuo; Zhang Xiu obtained it and defeated Cao Cao several times. And Cao Cao unified the north. He impatiently marched into Wancheng to capture Jingxiang, which has always been a battleground for military strategists. Compared with its significant military strategic position, the brilliance of culture also crowned the Han Empire, and as the ancestor of the Guangwu Emperor, Nanyang reached an unprecedented level. The pinnacle of history - it became Chang'an, the western capital of the Han Dynasty, and the third capital after Luoyang, the eastern capital - Nandu.

Shun Wancheng went south to Niyang, with He Yong accompanying him. The Zhang family's sect was opened wide and treated with courtesy. However, to Gai Jun's disappointment, Zhang Zhongjing went to Xiangyang four days ago to see Cai Xi, the head of the local wealthy Cai family, and had to wait. Ten days and a half or more.

Gai Jun was anxious and unwilling to wait, so he said to He Yong: "Jun is determined to go south to chase Dr. Zhang."

"I will accompany you."

"Eldest brother has a lot of things to do. If you dare to delay me any longer, I'll say goodbye here."

He Yong smiled and said: "My hometown, Xiangxiang, is also in the south, and it is only one or two hundred miles away from Xiangyang."

After hearing this, Gai Jun stopped insisting, and the two of them got on the carriage and arrived at Xiangyang City within three days.

Xiangyang City later witnessed Guan Yunchang's power in China, Cao Cao's desire to move the capital to avoid his attack, and also witnessed the fall of a generation of war gods.

Gai Jun had no intention of thinking about this, and the carriage circled the city and drove straight to the southeast.

The Cai family lived in Caizhou. As a wealthy family in Nanjun, their house was very gorgeous, with bluestone corners on all four walls. There were hundreds of slaves in the house.

Cai Mao was serving his father on the bed that day. He was shocked when he heard that someone came to report He Yong's visit from Nanyang. He Yong was a well-known person in the country, and everyone with some status in Jingzhou wanted to make friends with him. The two had met several times. However, they were just casual acquaintances. Why did he come to the house today? He was confused in his heart but walked quickly to greet him. He saw He Yong and a handsome young man who was more than seven feet tall standing side by side, laughing in a low voice. Cai Mao cupped his fists and said: "When Mr. He comes to visit, he will shine brightly. This is..."

"How are you doing, Degui? I am here with Ziying, a well-known and handsome man from Dunhuang."

As an ambitious young man who always pays attention to world affairs, how could Cai Mao not know who Gai Ying of Dunhuang is? After a few years, if you don't give up, just call Brother Cai."

"Cai Mao?" Gai Jun had met many historical celebrities recently, so he was naturally not surprised, not to mention that the other party was just a sidekick. He bowed and returned the courtesy: "I have taken the liberty to come to the door to atone for my sins. May I ask Brother Cai, Zhang Zhongjing, if Dr. Zhang is in the house?"

Cai Hao suddenly realized that he was looking for Zhang Zhongjing. He nodded and said: "Doctor Zhang is treating my father." Then he turned sideways and invited: "He Jun, Gai Shehu, please come in."

"Excuse me." He Yong and Gai Jun walked into the door. Cai Hao led the two of them into a hall. The room was as warm as spring. Gai Jun rubbed his stiff face and waited for the master. He Yong sat down one after another before he knelt down and sat down. Beside Yong.

Cai Mao arranged for the slaves to serve wine and food, and at the same time sent someone to invite Zhang Zhongjing and asked, "Where did Ziying come from?"

"Kyoto."

"Who are you seeking medical attention for?"

"A good friend."

Cai Mao said with admiration, "I have traveled thousands of miles to seek medical treatment for my friend regardless of the freezing weather. I admire him so much."

"Excellent."

"Is your friend's condition urgent? If not, my father will still need Doctor Zhang to take care of him for a day or two."

What could Gai Jun say, he could only nod.

Cai Hao said to He Yong while toasting: "Where does the eldest brother come from?"

He Yong smiled and replied: "Kyoto."

A strange look flashed in Cai Mao's eyes. He thought that the two met probably by chance. Unexpectedly, He Yong accompanied him throughout the whole process. His impression of Gai Jun rose several levels in a row. He Yong valued him and deserved such treatment.

The three of them were pushing cups and cups. When a servant reported that Zhang Zhongjing had arrived, Gai Jun suddenly stood up.

Zhang Zhongjing is only twenty-eighty-nine years old. He looks older than his actual age. He is seven feet tall and has an average appearance. There is nothing surprising about him.

"After several years of separation, how has Zhong Jing always been?"

"He Jun!" Zhang Zhongjing was greatly surprised when he saw He Yong. He did not dare to neglect and bowed first.

"Today I am a guest at the Cai Mansion. I am really here for you." He Yongyan pointed at Gai Jun, who bowed deeply to Zhang Zhongjing and said sincerely: "Jun heard in the capital that there is a Zhang Zhongjing in Nanyang who has superb medical skills.

, I hope you can save my friend’s life.”

Zhang Zhongjing asked: "May I ask what disease my friend is suffering from?"

Gai Jun briefly talked about Cai Wan's illness, and when he saw Zhang Zhongjing frowning, he felt extremely nervous. He did not see the sparkle in Cai Wan's eyes. He seemed to have heard something through his gender, age, and illness.

Zhang Zhongjing thought for a long time before saying: "This disease is congenital and is very difficult to treat. It cannot be cured without a close relative. When Cai Jun's condition is fine, I will follow you to Beijing."

Gai Jun bowed his head again: "Doctor Zhang's kindness will be unforgettable to Jun."

Zhang Zhongjing asked curiously: "I haven't been cured yet, what great favor can I do?"

"There are thousands of doctors in the world, but from Jun's point of view, none of them are worth mentioning. I only place my hope on Jun Zhang, so I would like to express my gratitude in advance."

Gai Jun's face was serious, not even a bit joking. Zhang Zhongjing couldn't help but be stunned. He felt that his medical skills were superb, but he didn't think that he was the best in the world. Where did the other party get his confidence?

During the dinner, He Yong and Cai Mao were mostly talking. Gai Jun occasionally interjected, but Zhang Zhongjing remained silent. It wasn't that he didn't want to communicate, but he was of a low status and couldn't speak. Unless he had something to ask for, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to attend the table.

No qualifications.

Gai Jun ate something hastily, and tiredness came over him. He said goodbye to the three of them, borrowed a private room to rest, and slept until dawn the next day. It seemed that he had slept for too long, and his head was groggy.

Open the small window, and you will see a world of ice and snow in front of you.

Gai Jun strolled out and asked the handsome maid who had been waiting in the side room early in the morning: "Where does the guest who came with me live?"

"It's right next door. I haven't woken up yet."

The maid asked again: "Do you want to find the young master?"

Gai Jun shook his head and said, "Your master is ill, and Brother Cai is in great trouble. So, you can take me for a walk in the garden."

"Mr. Lang, follow me."

Gai Jun leisurely followed the little maid, seemingly admiring the snowy scenery of the manor, but actually he was thinking about something.

"Get out! Get out! This is not where you should be."

The scolding caught Gai Jun's attention. He turned his head and looked along the source of the sound, and unknowingly arrived at the gate of Cai Mansion.);.
