Chapter 265

Xu Yi was startled for a moment. He brushed his fingers over the body of the pen and touched a delicate mark at the end of the pen. The words "Tao Ren Lu" were engraved in cursive script on the top.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

Huo Yuqing then introduced with a smile: "This pen was made by Taoist Lu from Shezhou. Taoist Lu is a master of pen-making in Shezhou. He doesn't make many pens, so it's really hard to find one."

Huo Yuqing put a lot of thought into these two pens. , it took several months to get it.

Only one out of a hundred students in the entire Imperial College had this pen. He sent one of them to Xu Yi just to express his feelings.

"Brother Xu, do you like it?" Huo Yuqing felt relaxed and happy, and her eyes were filled with joy, as if she had drank a glass of fine wine.

Scholars pursue good writing, and this is what he does.

When he talked with Xu Yi before, he could tell from Xu Yi's conversation that Xu Yi was also a good reader.

Hearing his answer, Xu Yi calmed down his thoughts and smiled at him: "This is such a good pen, it's so lovely."

However, what Huo Yuqing saw in Xu Yi's eyes was that he missed him more.

It seems that I am thinking about something through this pen.

Huo Yuqinghu asked, "Brother Xu, have you seen this before?"

Xu Yi didn't hide it and sighed: "In the early years, when I moved back to my new home, my master gave me a pen. I just thought it was a good pen. But I didn’t know it was so precious. “

That pen has been used for several years and it still works well. Xu Yi also treasures it. He cleans the ink marks carefully every time he uses them and puts them back into the box after drying.

Over the past few years, the pen has not changed much, except for some wear and tear on the tip of the pen.

He brought the pen to Huo Yuqing to see.

Huo Yuqing was slightly surprised when he saw this pen: "This pen seems to have been made by Taoist Lu when he was young. I am so talented that he can get such a good pen."

Xu Yi recalled that Pang Boyi had used more than one pen.

He frowned and thought, Pang Boyi has friends and disciples all over the world. Even if he returns to his hometown after serving his official career, he still has an amazing network of contacts.

"I didn't expect Brother Xu to use this Shezhou pen earlier than me." Huo Yuqing felt a little regretful. But he also became curious about Xu Yi's teacher, "Is your master also a doctor?"

Xu Yi shook his head.

He said succinctly and comprehensively: "My tutor was just a gentleman who traveled far and wide. When he went to Yanting to meet friends, he unexpectedly accepted me as his student. He taught me my mind and took great care of me."

Part of the success of his travels was due to Pang Boyi.

In the past few years, Yu Qiulin, Xin Yao and others had sent him many letters. Knowing that he was worried about Pang Game's physical condition, he would always mention Pang Game in his letters.

...Pang Yi's health is getting worse again.

He must have become a handsome man, no longer the elegant and elegant middle-aged man he used to be.

Xu Yi had a smile on his face. No matter how much he changed, he would be able to recognize him at a glance when he returned.

Huo Yuqing's gift of a pen brought back many memories for Xu Yi. On the same day, Xu Yi started writing for the newly acquired Shezhou pen.

The pen of this Shezhou pen is made of wolf hair, and the tip of the pen is smooth and sharp. After opening the pen, Xu Yi took the pen and wrote the travel notes in a leisurely manner.

He didn't stop writing until his wrists were sore, his eyes were sore, and it was getting dark.

Yan Quyue came in holding an oil lamp to add more light to the study.

"The words written here are more beautiful than ordinary pens." She spread out the paper with her arms to dry the ink, looked at the places they had been written on, and asked with a smile, "Written for the teacher?"

Xu Yi " "Hmm" said.

"When this trip is over, let's go back to Yanting." Xu Yi took Yan Quyue's hand and said softly.

Yan Quyue smiled, she also missed home.

She said: "When I go back, I want to go to Zhaohua to see my brother and sister-in-law first. I haven't been back in the past few years. They must blame me."

Xu Yi smiled and said: "Although I didn't go back, I still sent it. " Even if they blame me, they will only blame me."

Yan Quyue was worried. "If my brother wants to teach you a lesson, I won't be able to help you."

"It's okay . , If you scold me, I should scold you, if you hit me, I will run away." Xu Yi said with a brisk smile.

Yan Quyue: "..." Not serious at all.

...

It is not advisable to travel far in midsummer.

The weather is getting hotter, and there are shops and stalls selling cold drinks in every street and alley in Kyoto.

There are few people out to play during the day, but it is lively at night.

On the Chinese Valentine's Day, the Longjinqiao Night Market is decorated with lights and colorful lights. Different from the past, various colorful lanterns are hung in the sky on the street. Fireworks are brightly lit from the top of the restaurant. There are countless delicacies from all over the country. The troupe plays fire dragons and performs magic tricks, using different methods to attract people. Stop and watch.

Xu Yi dressed up Yan Quyue, put a flower crown fashionable in Bianjing on her, put a beaded peony hairpin in her hair, and put on a wide-sleeved blouse that was popular among young women in Beijing. Yan Quyue is good-looking, and with a little dressing up, she has a unique style, which is not inferior to that of the noble girls in Beijing who have been pampered since childhood.

Then, Xu Yi applied a little pink rouge, spread it on his fingertips, and applied it between Yan Quyue's cheeks.

Yan Quyue looked at the dim bronze mirror, looking left and right, feeling awkward.

She looked back at Xu Yi: "It feels so strange."

"It's not strange." Xu Yi smiled and went to the wash basin to clean his hands and wash away the remaining rouge.

He had chosen the clothes Yan Quyue was wearing today, and Xu Yi felt that his aesthetic sense was still up to par.

Yan Quyue waved her sleeves: "Such wide sleeves are not easy to wear for work."

Xu Yi looked at her helplessly: "Tonight is Chinese Valentine's Day, a day for women to meet, so there is no reason to work. You only follow Jiao in Kyoto. My sister-in-law can talk well. She asked you out not to do work, but to have fun with Ah Jin."

Yan Quyue asked, "What about you?"

Xu Yi said with a smile, "It's rare for me and Ajin to have a rest. Brother Xing was drinking in the courtyard and admiring the moon."

Yan Quyue raised her eyebrows and looked out the window. Where did the moon come from?

But it was getting late, so she didn't delay any more and put on her new shoes. There was a carriage parked outside.

Yan Quyue took Ah Jin's arm and led her out.

...

Not long after they left, Xing Yuesen came to the door with some good wine.

Xu Yi hurriedly invited him to go to the kitchen to serve wine and food, while explaining: "I gave A Xu a holiday, and this table of dishes was prepared before A Xu went out to play. It's just you and me at home tonight. "

Without anyone else, I can only do it myself.

Xing Yuesen smoothed his sleeves and followed the plate without saying a word.

"Have you gotten used to it, mother-in-law?" He asked casually, thinking that the mother-in-law was hired to share the work. Xu

Yi said: "My cooking skills are not as good as A Xu's.

" They moved the tables and chairs out of the house, ate wine and chatted in the small yard. As they chatted, Xu Yi asked Xing Yuesen about his plans for next year. Xing Yuesen frowned and said, "I want to leave Beijing and become an official." Xu Yi looked at him in surprise. Xing Yuesen said: "It's so comfortable in Beijing." The only things he had access to were some case trials and legal documents. After staying for several years, he had accumulated enough cases, large and small, and it was time to leave Beijing. "Has the application been written?" Xu Yi looked at him. Xing Yuesen said not yet, and said there was no rush. He would look at other departments in Kyoto to see if there were any good places with real power. With that said, he said to Xu Yi: "The prisoner confessed last time." It turned out that the bond between the victim and the criminal family was more than just the ten taels of silver. The grandfathers of the two families were old acquaintances, so they arranged a marriage for each other's descendants, so that the grandchildren of the two families could have a good relationship. Later, his grandfather passed away, and the relationship between the two families was not as close as before. In addition, the other party refused to admit it after borrowing ten taels of silver, so the marriage broke up. Unexpectedly, he acted like Meng Lang to his son. Seeing that his sister was good-looking, he coaxed her away and accidentally got her pregnant secretly. As a result, the other family didn't want to marry his sister. The brother was also indolent and afraid of getting into trouble, so he listened to his family and didn't get engaged to someone else's sister with Pipa in his arms. His sister had been wronged for life, and she couldn't bear to think of dying, but her brother stopped her. I don’t know what tricks the prisoner’s son used to get his sister to have an abortion. His temperament changed and he became obedient and no longer acted foolishly. Later I found out that his son wanted to kill the other party's entire family, but he only stabbed the concierge before being stopped by him. "He originally wanted to persuade his son not to kill people, but his son didn't want to, so he took the machete from the woodshed and killed the person for his son." Xing Yuesen finished speaking with a heavy look. Xu Yi was silent for a while and sighed softly. "It should be more than that?" "Yes." Xing Yuesen drank a glass of wine and continued: "If you really just abandon a good wife and sue the official, how can you ruin such a future because of this matter?" Even if there are relatives to pay for their lives . Blackmail, until this point, the prisoner still concealed part of the situation. Later, Xing Yuesen felt that there were flaws in the testimony, and he interrogated the criminal's son severely. His son didn't hide as deeply as his father, and he was defeated after a few scheming attempts and revealed everything. Xu Yi asked curiously : "Is it possible that the enemy did something excessive?" It cost them all their money, and also harmed his sister, which made him want to murder. " The reason why he continued to hide it was that it was not his father who killed the three members of his family. My sister chopped off the heartless man with her own hands. His father came to clean up the incident and wanted to set it on fire, but there was a lot of murder and the neighbors ran to report it to the authorities. In order to protect his son and daughter, his father took all the blame on himself. After hearing this, Xu Yi sighed and drank a few glasses of wine. "Brother Yi, I'm afraid I will be promoted after I finish this matter." Xing Yuesen had a hint of drunkenness on his face, but his eyes were clear. He was not in a hurry to write the application, he was just waiting for any arrangements from above. Xu Yi kept pouring him wine and whispered, "If you get promoted, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Beijing for a while." "...Hmm." After that, the two of them were silent for a long time. As soon as the Chinese Valentine's Day is over, Kyoto has been bustling for a few days and then calmed down again. The clinic at Xu Yi's home is still open, and many patients come for consultation every day. Among them were some wealthy businessmen from Beijing. They spent a lot of money on medical treatment, and the medical consultation fees were no less than ten guan. In just a few days, Xu Yi and his brother and sister received hundreds of guan in medical fees. It has greatly relieved A Xu’s pressure on high expenses. He no longer had to worry about shopping. When he saw lychees for sale in a fruit shop in the market, he bought two baskets extravagantly. Everyone in the family likes to eat lychees. The last time Huo Yuqing sent two baskets, Xu Yi gave half of the basket to Xing Yuesen. The half basket was divided into several parts and paired with some other items. He sent them to Shang Hongshen and Xin Huai, as well as Several professors often came to him for discussion. Xu Yi saw that he was buying lychees again, so he asked A Xu to keep a basket. "I remember there is a dish called 'lychee stuffed with meat'. I heard that it is refreshing and appetizing, sweet and sour." A Xu's greedy mind was aroused: "Mr. Lang, please teach me how to make this dish." Xu Yi briefly thought about the lychee stuffed meat he had eaten before, and simply remembered that the lychees were shelled and cored, and then minced meat seasoning was used to remove the fishy smell and stuffed inside. There seemed to be thickening... He thought for a while, and only thought of So much, A Xu can figure out the rest by himself. A Xu stared at the basket of lychees and scratched his head. After hesitating for a moment, he carried the basket into the kitchen and drove his mother-in-law outside to rest. Xu Yi threw the problem to him and ran back to the study, looking at the travel notes he bought from the market bookstore. The bookcase behind him also contained a row of various folk tales, which Yan Quyue loved to read. Just after taking a break, there were guests coming outside. "Who is here?" Xu Yi opened the study door and asked Erqing. Erqing said: "It's the official of Taiyuan Hospital." Xu Yi raised his eyebrows and walked briskly out of the room to greet him. After the tea party, Xu Yi kept in touch with many people in Tai Hospital. Except for Liao Ningcai and Xu Li, two doctors with whom he chatted very harmoniously, it was Xin Huai who was the most comfortable to get along with. Unlike other official doctors who have high self-esteem, Xin Huai speaks directly and straightforwardly, and is not angry when faced with Xu Yi's sometimes suspicion. On the contrary, in the process of getting to know each other, the two of them become more talkative. Xinhuai did not look down upon Xu Yi because of his age and lack of qualifications. This time he came and brought Xu Yi two medical books from Tai Hospital.

However, it also brings conditions.
