After dinner, Zhang Yutang, Xu Jiaorong, Li Yong, and A Bao left Zhang's Mansion and headed straight for the security hall.
After five years of not seeing each other, Qiantang City has undergone tremendous changes. There are many schools in the city, dotted like stars in the big city, and countless children who are babbling have begun to read the Children's Instructions.
The trend of enlightenment seems to be prevalent.
Zhang Yutang has also grown from the child he was back then to a handsome young man with a graceful and generous demeanor. He has not been seen for many years. People nearby did not recognize him for a while. The young man passing by was the Holy Master many years ago.
"Isn't that a Saint Master?"
"Is it Mr. Zhang?"
Many people looked at the disappearing figure and then came back to their senses. For a while, Qiantang frequently heard:
"After five years, the Holy Master is back!"
"This time the most talented person in the world is none other than the Holy Master."
"Who is the most talented person in the world? It's still uncertain." Someone snorted secretly: "How can a young man have so much ability and experience, how can he compare to a great scholar who has a bright head but a poor scripture?"
Zhang Yutang didn't know any of these words. When he was walking on the road, he saw many scholars, wandering back and forth, chatting with friends, reading while walking, or taking the bookboys to play around. As the gathering of heroes approached, there were more and more scholars in Qiantang day by day.
"Master, where are we going?" Xu Jiaorong asked, "Are we going to see Mr. Ouyang?"
Zhang Yutang smiled slightly: "Do you think it's better to see Mr. Ouyang first, or go to the Security Hall to meet Dr. Xu first?"
Xu Jiaorong was embarrassed and said:
"Wherever the young master says you should go, just go wherever you want."
"Ha ha--"
Zhang Yutang smiled:
"You know how to do Tai Chi, so you pushed the problem back to me.
"Let's go, let's go to the Security Hall. I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know if Dr. Xu would like to welcome me there?"
Several people walked along and soon arrived at the security hall.
"Brother Zhang, I don't know when you came back."
Xu Xian, who was treating people in the security hall, looked up and saw Zhang Yutang and others, and stood up with a face of surprise:
"I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are becoming more and more charming."
Zhang Yutang stepped forward and gave Xu Xian a bear hug:
"Don't you also have a beautiful face and a very handsome appearance? Why are you sitting here? Where is Mrs. Xu? Please take me to see her. I haven't seen you for many years and I miss her very much."
"good."
Xu Xian said to another person in the security hall:
"Uncle Qian, please help take care of it first. I will take Yutang and the others to see my father."
"Okay, young master, you can go ahead. I will take care of you here. Nothing will happen." Uncle Qian smiled honestly and continued to treat the patients who came.
"Who is Uncle Qian? I haven't seen him before. Is he the newly recruited doctor from Bao'an Tang?" Zhang Yutang asked casually as he walked:
"How did you come here all these years? Has the state tried it?"
"Uncle Qian is a former friend of mine that my father found. He is very proficient in medical skills and has extremely noble moral character, so he was invited by my father to be a sitting physician." Xu Xian looked a little ashamed: "Although I have participated in the second state in recent years,
I tried the big exams, but every time I ranked outside Sun Shan, which humiliated the Xu family."
"Every major exam is like hundreds of teams competing to cross a single-plank bridge. Failure is nothing. There are many people who, after taking exams all their lives, may not be able to become a scholar." Zhang Yutang patted Xu Xian's shoulder and said,
He comforted: "I heard that after this meeting of heroes, the state examination will be arranged soon. Let's prepare well and see if we can pass the state examination. After passing the state examination, we will have the status of a judicial officer and be able to serve as an official.
Seeking welfare for the world."
"There are many people who have been taking exams all their lives but have never been admitted as a scholar. Are your words a consolation?"
"Besides, it's not easy to get a good ranking in the Heroes Meeting and become a blockbuster." Xu Xian obviously didn't have much confidence: "This Heroes Meeting was organized by the current Human Emperor, and all the talented people from all over the world came to compete for the title of the best talent in the world.
Head, a scholar like me is nothing compared to these amazing people."
During the chat, several people had already arrived in the inner room and saw Doctor Xu reading a book alone. However, his forehead was gray and he looked very old. Zhang Yutang was shocked when he saw this:
"Doctor Xu, we haven't seen each other for only five years. Why have you aged so much? Could it be that the Eight Treasures Pearl Soup I prepared for you with the Ziyun Long Ginseng and Xu didn't work?"
"My dear nephew, why are you here? I haven't seen you for more than five years and you have already grown into a young man." Dr. Xu was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice. He looked up and saw Zhang Yutang walking slowly, with surprise on his face: "Hurry up.
Come sit down and tell me how you have been living in seclusion in West Lake for so many years."
"Thank you Uncle Xu for your concern." Zhang Yutang was a little moved: "I have been practicing in seclusion in West Lake for the past few years. I haven't come to pay homage to Uncle Xu for so long. I also ask Uncle Xu not to blame Yutang."
"How can I blame you? Young people know that studying and making progress is a good thing. It's too late for Uncle Xu to be happy. How can I blame you?" Dr. Xu said enthusiastically. Seeing Xu Xian who was standing aside, he cursed: "You bastard, you didn't
I see your cousin Yu is here, why don’t you hurry up and get some tea?”
"Dad, when you have Cousin Yu, you forget that I am your biological son." Xu Xian curled his lips and said, "If you do this, your son will be jealous."
As he spoke, he walked aside and took the teapot. Xu Jiaorong also walked over, helped to take the teacup, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, I heard that Sister Yulian often comes to visit you in the past few years. Have you decided to get married?"
?”
"Not yet." Xu Xian was a little sad: "Doctor Wu is a little unhappy about my relationship with Yulian. I originally planned to go to Dr. Wu's house to propose marriage today. Who knew you were here? I'm waiting for a lucky day to go to the matchmaker to propose to Wu.
The doctor proposes marriage."
"You and sister Yulian were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. You are very talented and have a reputation as a scholar. Sister Yulian also likes you. Why wouldn't Doctor Wu be happy?" Xu Jiaorong was a little unhappy: "Besides, let's talk about the Three Emperors Patriarch Association.
Over the years, we have been taking advantage of our Renxin Medical Clinic. Now, if you do this, you are really an ungrateful white-eyed wolf."
"Doctor Wu is used to working hard. He looked down upon me a few times when I failed in the exams." Xu Xian smiled bitterly and said, "What's more, he might have a better son-in-law in his mind. A young man like me.
Naturally, a young scholar will not be taken seriously by him."
"It's just that he is Yulian's father after all. Sister, you'd better not scold him."
"I don't care who he is. If he bullies my brother, I'm not done with him." Xu Jiaorong said: "You go first and ask someone to propose marriage and see what Wu Renjie says."
Hearing that Wu Renjie was not happy with his brother's marriage, Xu Jiaorong simply stopped calling Dr. Wu and called him by his first name.
Xu Xian nodded: "Let's talk about it later."
After picking up the teapot and placing the teacups, Xu Xian, Doctor Xu, and Zhang Yutang sat down, drinking tea and chatting.
Doctor Xu looked at Zhang Yutang in front of him. He was a jade tree facing the wind, free and unrestrained, he also knew how to respect the old and love the young, and he had good etiquette. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. But when he saw Xu Jiaorong standing beside him, he secretly sighed in his heart:
"I am a good daughter, but I met a rude man. He is obviously a prodigy with great talent and a photographic memory. How come he is so slow to understand love even if he only knows a word about it?"
"Perhaps this has some strengths and weaknesses, but I have to give him a hint, and I can't let my sweet girl live up to her wonderful youth."
So Biruo accidentally mentioned:
"My dear nephew, Jiaorong has been with you for so many years. Girls as old as her have already started families, and some of the children are several years old."
"Daddy..."
When Xu Jiaorong heard this, her face turned red. She walked over, clenched her fist, and gently hit Dr. Xu's shoulder. She just raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhang Yutang to see what he said.
"Yeah, yeah."
Zhang Yutang felt that this problem was like a heavy burden, weighing on his heart. When Dr. Xu mentioned it, he broke into cold sweat and his face turned red. He said in Nuonuo's words:
"Miss Xu is a good girl. She is naturally beautiful, dignified and polite. She is a rare good girl."
At this moment, Zhang Yutang felt a little selfish. Without being sure of his emotional ownership, he had made Xu Jiaorong wait for many years.
This time, Zhang Yutang decided from the bottom of his heart that after this meeting of heroes, he would take a good look at his feelings. If he really liked her, he would marry Xu Jiaorong home.
If you really don't like it, you can just let nature take its course.
Looking at Zhang Yutang who lowered his head and muttered, a trace of disappointment flashed in Xu Jiaorong's eyes:
"Is a man so shy when it comes to emotional matters? However, only such a man can be regarded as the man that I, Xu Jiaorong, like. If it is an ordinary man who cannot walk around when meeting a woman, I, Xu Jiaorong, would rather
I will live my whole life alone, and I won’t even bother to get married.”
Seeing that Zhang Yutang was embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it, Dr. Xu laughed and changed the subject. Zhang Yutang also followed the stick and said:
"Uncle Xu, what's going on with your health? Your hair is so gray. Didn't you take the longevity-prolonging pills made with Ziyun Longshenxu?"
"Good boy."
Doctor Xu smiled like the spring breeze blowing on his face:
"I have taken a lot of the pills you prepared, but they don't work anymore. My whole body has been hollowed out by this disease. I should have passed away five years ago. It was you who found Ziyun Longshen."
You must have prepared the eight-treasure pearl soup to save my life until now."
"It's just that in recent years, I feel that my body is getting older and older. I'm afraid that it won't be long before I'm old."
"Before I grow old, I really hope that Xu Xian, Jiaorong and the two siblings can get married and start a business as soon as possible. In that way, even if I die, I can still talk to their mother about the children underground.
, so that their mothers can feel at ease."
"Uncle Xu, don't worry."
Zhang Yutang comforted:
"Xu Xian is a talented person. He is also familiar with poetry and books, and is proficient in pharmacology. He can marry any woman he wants."
He gritted his teeth and said again:
"I am also very fond of Jiao Rong. She will definitely find a good home."
As for whether it belongs to him or not, Zhang Yutang dare not say anything nonsense.
The promises made and the debts owed must eventually be repaid. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.
