Early the next morning, at dawn, Fang Jun got up and had not yet washed up, when a servant came to tell him that the two princes of Duke Lu's mansion were already waiting in the front hall.
Fang Jun was speechless.
Can you be so anxious?
After quickly washing up, he went to the front hall and saw Cheng Chuliang. The two brothers Cheng Chubi were drinking tea, so they asked, "Have you used your breakfast?"
Cheng Chubi said, "I've used it. My second brother ordered his servants to prepare breakfast early last night and brought me over with him."
Everyone knew that Cheng Chubi was Fang Jun's biggest fan, so Cheng Chuliang wanted Fang Jun to do his best to invite Sun Simiao.
Fang Jun said helplessly: "Come on, we won't eat anymore, let's leave now."
Cheng Chuliang said hurriedly: "I have prepared snacks and tea in the car. Get in the car and take a sip. I have wronged Erlang. Brother Yu, remember your feelings."
Fang Jun said: "That's true. We are all brothers. They don't even frown in the wind or fire, let alone just a little effort. Brother, please wait a moment. I'm going to change my clothes. I'll be out soon."
Cheng Chuliang said gratefully: "Thank you, Erlang."
When Fang Jun went back to change clothes, Cheng Chuliang said to Cheng Chubi: "People say that Erlang is domineering, but in fact he is very loyal and is a man worth making friends with. Third brother must treat each other with sincerity in the future. Children from aristocratic families like us,
You have to look after the interests of the family, fight openly and secretly all day long to guard against this and that. It is not easy to make a close friend, and you must cherish it."
Cheng Chubi nodded and said straightforwardly: "Brother, please spare it, but second brother, you are too polite. Erlang is not only loyal but also generous. He will never stand by and watch anyone ask for something, let alone us."
Waiting for a relationship? In fact, second brother, you can just come directly, there is no need to hold me back."
Cheng Chuliang looked at his brother's honest face and sighed silently.
This stupid brother doesn't understand the world at all, how can he get along in the court from now on?
But then again, maybe it is this kind of straightforward character without any thought that can get along with someone like Fang Jun. People may be willing to make friends with such a straightforward person, after all, he is willing to play tricks and use tricks.
, among the children of the aristocratic family, which one is better than the second person in the room? When you are tired of playing tricks with cunning and cunning people, you will naturally get close to fools like Cheng Chubi. You don’t have to guard against anything, so you can worry...
After a while, Fang Jun changed into a set of green trousers, packed up, left the house with the two Cheng brothers, boarded the carriage brought by the Cheng brothers, and ran straight to the south of the city.
On the way, Fang Jun ate a few snacks and drank some tea to rest his stomach.
As soon as the Chunming Gate opened, the carriage left the city.
When I arrived at the medical cottage where Sun Simiao lived, I was told by several students from the Taiyuan Hospital who were studying medicine here that Sun Simiao had gone to live in a Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain for more than ten days because he was avoiding purification.
Cheng Chuliang suddenly looked sad.
Everyone knows that Sun Simiao is compiling the second volume of "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions". He is working tirelessly to improve himself and never accepts medical advice. At this time, he even moved to the Zhongnan Mountains to live in seclusion. I am afraid that even if he comes to visit, Sun Simiao
He will definitely not agree to go down the mountain.
Fang Jun didn't care about that, he directly asked for the address, and drove to Zhongnan Mountain with the Cheng family brothers.
In the car, Cheng Chuliang wondered: "Um...Erlang, since Taoist Master Sun deliberately hid in Zhongnan Mountain, even if we come to visit him, I'm afraid we won't easily agree to go down the mountain. How else can we wait for a few days?"
The fact is that he is in a hurry. Princess Qinghe is weak after childbirth and has damaged her roots. This kind of illness cannot be cured overnight. Naturally, it doesn't matter if it is delayed for three to five days. However, he and Princess Qinghe have a very good relationship, and they can't be cured even for a moment.
I just couldn't help it.
If a royal princess was really in danger and the imperial doctor was helpless, how could Sun Simiao not treat her?
Not only the princess, but also the princes, princes and ministers in Chang'an City, if any one of them was seriously ill or in danger, Sun Simiao would not be able to ignore it.
Although this miracle doctor is indifferent to fame and wealth, and regards wealth as floating clouds, he is by no means unkind...
Fang Jun said firmly: "Brother, don't worry. Since His Highness Qinghe's condition is not easy to be delayed, since he came today, he must invite Daozhang Sun for diagnosis and treatment no matter what."
Cheng Chuliang was also a cheerful person, and he cupped his hands and said: "No matter what, Brother Yu will remember today's feelings in his heart, and he will be rewarded in kind in the future."
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously and said: "Brother, you don't have to be like this. Although I and Chu Bi are not brothers, they are brothers and sisters. Even if they are at each other's throats, they will never frown. Why do they care about trivial matters?"
In fact, he came to see Sun Simiao today not only to ask him to go to Lu Guogong's mansion to diagnose Princess Qinghe, but also to ask for something else...
When Cheng Chubi heard Fang Jun's words, he had a look on his face that said, "It's natural." He nodded slightly and said nothing.
Cheng Chuliang looked at the obvious expression on his brother's face speechlessly, and couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly: No wonder these two people have such a good relationship, one is a stick, the other is a fool, they are all the same...
The carriage entered the Zhongnan Mountains.
Looking out from the car curtain, we can see the rolling hills and lush green mountains.
Dense woods cover the mountains, with lush branches and leaves full of vitality. The farmland at the foot of the mountain is crisscrossed with streets, chickens and dogs hear each other, and the streams gurgling, just like a peachland. When the carriage drives along the mountain road into the mountains, the top of the head is blocked by the canopy of trees that covers the sky.
The sun couldn't penetrate, and there was a shade.
Birds are flying in the woods, and small animals are rejoicing.
Entering the mountain, the scenery suddenly changes. The springs and rocks are quiet and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are occasionally sparse branches and leaves. Looking up, the top of the mountain is surrounded by white clouds, far away from the world.
The carriage swayed along the narrow but relatively smooth mountain road. From time to time, it frightened the birds in the forest beside the road. They flapped their wings and flew up to the treetops. There were monkeys climbing between the trees.
jump.
After turning a low mountain pass, a small valley sandwiched by two mountain ridges appeared in front of me. In the valley, there was a small stream with white water and gentle banks. There were rows of vegetable fields and ravines, and a simple stone bridge spanned them.
At the end of the creek and stone bridge, there is a small Taoist temple with red walls and black tiles.
The carriage arrived in front of the Taoist temple gate, and several people got off the car one after another. Fang Jun stepped forward and listened carefully. There was no sound in the courtyard, so he pushed the mountain gate with his hand.
The mountain gate opened silently.
Inside the gate is a small courtyard, the ground is paved with bluestone, which is relatively flat. A bronze incense burner is placed under the stone steps at the entrance of the main hall, and there are several side rooms on both sides.
There is a plaque hanging in the main hall. The three characters "Ziyun Temple" on it are round and straight, which looks like the handwriting of a famous artist.
A boy with combed hair ran out of the main hall, with a large Taoist robe dangling on his body. When he saw the three people standing at the door, he clasped his hands and saluted, and asked curiously: "Where did these three nobles come from?"
This boy is young, has a delicate appearance, and a pair of big, sparkling eyes. He is very cute.
Fang Jun said: "My three brothers came to look for Master Sun. I wonder if he is in the temple?"
The boy pointed to the mountains on one side of the valley and said, "The Taoist got up early and went into the mountains to take some herbs. It will take some time before he can come back."
Fang Jun said: "I wonder if we can go inside and wait?"
The boy said: "I am a guest from afar, please come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and led Fang Jun and the others into the courtyard and came to a wing on the left side of the incense burner.
The room was paved with smooth floors. Several people took off their shoes and came inside. The boy said respectfully: "Please sit down for a while while I boil water and make tea for you."
He bowed slightly and withdrew.
Looking at the simple furnishings in the house, several walls have exposed blue bricks, and the roof beams above the head are also made of pine wood from Zhongnan Mountain, but the bark has been removed, making it look simple and clumsy, and it does not have a sense of returning to nature.
However, the moment Fang Jun stepped into the room, his eyes and mind were all attracted to the person in the room at this moment.
In the side room, next to a low table in the middle, there was an old man with white hair and beard lying on his side. One hand was bent on the floor to support his upper body, and the other hand was holding a small wine glass, which he was looking at with interest.
Zhu Fangjun...
The two people's eyes met, and a strange feeling suddenly hit Fang Jun's heart.
This old Taoist has white beard and hair, and does not have a "crane-haired boy's face". His face is as rough and wrinkled as dry tree bark. His skinny body is hidden under a tattered Taoist robe, but his frame is very thick, not even a hair.
The air of aging.
The most touching thing is his eyes.
An old Taoist priest who looked to be a hundred years old had a pair of clear and bright eyes. When he looked at Fang Jun, his eyes were so clear that there seemed to be a flash of brilliance. In the blink of an eye, he was full of joy and wonder...
In the flash of light, these eyes seem to contain amazing wisdom, able to understand all the mysteries of the universe, and all the secrets in the human heart are not missed under their gaze.
Not only Fang Jun, but also the Cheng family brothers were attracted by the old Taoist's appearance and looked at him in astonishment.
Fang Jun took a deep breath, clasped his hands as a courtesy, and said respectfully: "Fang Jun, I don't know where Changxian Township is, and how do you call it?"
The old Taoist priest did not change his posture, but slowly smiled.
