Chapter 250: Finding a Talent
Ji Yunshu looked at the person who was talking in front of him. Although he didn't understand most of what he said, he didn't interrupt or ask questions.
She looked at the azure sky and felt for the first time that she had some luck.
There was no doubt that Geng Ji was the person she was looking for.
Geng Ji stopped talking until his mouth was dry. Seeing that Ji Yunshu had been listening quietly without any impatience, he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I talk too much."
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "No, I'm very happy. You are a man of real talent and learning."
Geng Ji said with a somewhat gloomy expression, "But these are not what the imperial examination requires. I can't write a brilliant essay, and these things may never be useful."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Sir, your talent is what I need, and it is also what the people of the world need. If you are willing, you can continue your research at my farm. If you achieve something, it will surely benefit the people of the world."
Seeing her calm expression, Geng Ji immediately agreed, and finally said, "It's just that my wife passed away young, and I still have a little daughter who needs to be taken care of..."
Ji Yunshu said, "Sir, don't worry. Just focus on your studies and daily life. I will have someone take care of the young lady."
Geng Ji didn't expect that he would turn a disaster into a blessing. He actually found a backer and could do what he liked in the future. He immediately asked Ji Yunshu to take him to the farm.
Ji Yunshu had consulted the doctor when he came, and he was told that his injuries were not serious and that he would be fine once the poison was removed.
He did not stop them and directly had the father and daughter sent to the farm.
Of course, to be on the safe side, in addition to the maids and servants, a doctor was also sent over.
After everyone left, Yichen came in from outside and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Madam, you have found another talented person."
Just now, when he saw Ji Yunshu fooling Geng Ji, he thought of the scene when he was tricked into going down the mountain.
It’s hard to describe the days I spent down the mountain.
Not only do we have to manufacture gunpowder and firearms, but we also have to cure diseases and save lives.
He has never been so busy in his life.
Ji Yunshu knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his expression: "I'm doing this for the benefit of the people. If the grain production can be higher, fewer people will die of starvation."
Even without natural disasters or man-made disasters, there is not enough food in the world, and most people are in a state of hunger for a long time.
This is simply unimaginable for Ji Yunshu, who grew up in modern times.
"Madam is very kind."
Yichen looked at her sincere expression and knew that he would be trapped by this woman for the rest of his life.
She wasn't pretending, nor was she trying to be praised, she just couldn't bear to see the people starving.
As a young lady from a marquis's family who grew up in luxury, she has such a kind heart, which is a rare quality.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I'm just talking big. The ones who really do the work are people like you who care about the world."
Yichen said, "But there are actually many people like me, just like the scholar just now. If he hadn't met Madam, he would have died. Perhaps his only use would have been to frame the young master of the Wang family."
"I didn't expect the Taoist priest to be so cynical."
The world is like this, Ji Yunshu doesn't want to criticize anything, after all, it won't make any difference.
Of course, she couldn't enjoy everything with peace of mind, so in addition to saving herself, she would also do something within her ability.
She didn't know if what she did would make any difference, but it was better than doing nothing.
Yichen smiled and said, "Madam is truly the most unique person I have ever met."
"Everyone is unique, isn't the Taoist priest the same?"
Ji Yunshu felt that compared to himself, Yichen was that unique genius.
Yichen smiled and said, "Madam, you are right. Besides looking for that scholar, you also have something to ask me when you come to the clinic, right?"
Ji Yunshu asked worriedly, "Is there really no way the Taoist priest can cure the poison in the prince's body?"
"I knew Madam would ask this. Actually, I don't know much about Gu poison. After all, it's a technique that the Miao people never pass on to outsiders. But from what I know, it's unlikely that the poison in the prince's body can be cured."
Ji Yunshu felt a dull pain in his chest. "Why? Isn't it said that as long as it's poison, there must be an antidote?"
Yichen looked at her with a hint of pity. "Generally speaking, if there's a real poison, there's an antidote, but Gu poison is different. The Miao people have tens of thousands of different Gu poisons, and without the poisoner, it's almost impossible to create an antidote. And the prince's poison was most likely brought from his mother's womb. We don't even know what it is, let alone create an antidote."
"Is there nothing the Miao people can do?"
Ji Yunshu asked without giving up any hope.
Yichen said, "I've already written to a Miao person I know to explain the situation. He's one of the three largest Miao tribe leaders, so maybe he can find a solution."
Ji Yunshu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Taoist Priest."
Yichen shook his head. "Everything that the Crown Prince and Madam have done has benefited the present generation and will be of lasting benefit to future generations. Naturally, I wish you both long lives."
He observed the court and the country and found that the emperor was being constrained and most of his orders could not be implemented. Prince Yong was secretly stirring up trouble, causing instability in the court.
The court has been in a state of panic over the past six months. In such an environment, loyal ministers and generals would rather live in seclusion.
There are officials who care about the people of the world, but even if they want to do something, they have to save their own lives first.
Only Ji Yunshu, perhaps because she is a married woman, does not attract attention, but everything she does is truly beneficial to the country and the people.
Just for this, he was willing to help her.
When Ji Yunshu came out of the clinic, it was noon, so he went to Cuihua Tower for lunch.
There are unexpectedly many people here.
When Ji Yunshu went to the private room to have dinner, Cen Xi arrived.
"How come you have time to come here?"
She asked with a smile as she walked in.
Seeing her coming, Ji Yunshu had the table cleared and tea served, then said, "I'm a free person, so when can I come?"
Cen Xi sat down opposite her, poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile, "You haven't been here for a while, I thought you had forgotten me."
Ji Yunshu: "...Your words make me feel like a scumbag who abandons me after having fun with me."
Cen Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You are a scumbag, but you are quite the character."
Think about her father, isn't he a scumbag?
Seeing her smile, Ji Yunshu said, "It seems like you've been free these days."
Cen Xi blinked. "It's OK. Lin Huixue has already met my grandfather. My grandfather is very satisfied with him and has agreed to our marriage. However, he said he wants to take part in the Spring Examination and will marry me regardless of whether he passes or not."
Ji Yunshu: "Are you stalling for time?"
Cen Xi shook his head: "I can't tell. After all, he came here to take the Spring Examination. You can't stop him from taking the exam just because you think he won't pass, right? Besides, it would be too hasty to arrange the marriage after the Spring Examination."
Ji Yunshu couldn't figure out what Lin Huixue was planning for a moment.
"Could it be that we guessed wrong, and he really wants to marry you?"
