Chapter 667 Courage
Zhou Silang also listened in, then smacked his lips and said, "Then this matter has nothing to do with us. Let's just forget about it. Why did you look so grim when you came back just now?"
Bai Shan then told Magistrate Tang what he had advised, then looked at Mr. Zhuang and asked, "Sir, what do you think we should do?"
"What else can we do? Of course we have to go home," Zhou Silang immediately stood up and said, "Sir, do you think we should leave tomorrow, or pack up and leave in two days?"
They can't afford to offend these two people.
Mr. Zhuang looked at Bai Shan and Man Bao and asked, "What about you? Do you really want to leave?"
They both shook their heads.
Mr. Zhuang looked at Bai Erlang again and asked, "What about you?"
Bai Erlang blinked and asked, "What does this have to do with me? If you want to leave, I will follow you. If you don't leave, they won't be able to find me, right?"
Mr. Zhuang pointed at Manbao and Baishan and said, "Anyone who has anything to do with them is implicated. Besides, you are their junior apprentice. They can bribe you with benefits, threaten you, or intimidate you. There are many ways to do it."
Bai Erlang opened his mouth wide, and then said angrily: "If that's the case, they are too hateful. I won't leave!"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and nodded, saying, "Then we won't leave."
Zhou Silang was dumbfounded. "Why? That's the Yizhou Palace. If we go against the princess's nephew, wouldn't that be a disadvantage?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and reassured him, "Not really. The King of Yizhou doesn't rule Yizhou City alone. Besides, he's just the nephew of the King of Yizhou's wife, not his own son. There's no need to worry."
As she spoke, the cook prepared the mugwort water.
Mr. Zhuang then sent the two men off to bathe and change clothes. Bai Erlang was also sent out. He then said to Zhou Silang, "There are many dangers in this world. Some should be avoided, but others are not to be feared. Besides, they are still young men. How can they not have some courage?"
Zhou Silang was stunned.
Mr. Zhuang laughed and said, "Today, he avoided the quarrel. There was no need to get involved in such a dangerous situation, so he was right. Ji Hao was being dragged by the horse. Isn't this more dangerous than the previous one? Yet, he still rode and chased after him. This was also right. You shouldn't be timid in the face of such danger. After all, it could save someone's life."
"Of course, there's no need to hide from the potential danger of the Ying family," Mr. Zhuang said with a faint smile. "Bai Shan is still a student at the provincial school. If he hides back home because of such a small danger, how can he serve as an official in the future?"
"You have to know that officialdom is full of dangers," Mr. Zhuang said. "Once people get used to avoiding danger, they become cowards."
Zhou Silang was stunned when he heard this. Although he didn't understand much, he still kept these words firmly in his heart.
Not to mention Zhou Lijun who was standing next to the door.
Daji bowed deeply to Mr. Zhuang, then stepped back and went to take a shower. He was also covered in blood, and the smell of blood was even stronger than Bai Shan's. After all, it was he who carried Ji Hao to the tent.
Mr. Zhuang waited until they all left before he stroked his beard and began to ponder.
What County Magistrate Tang did not have time to tell them was that the Pei family's daughter had already passed away, leaving behind only Ying Wenhai, so the Pei family also doted on this grandson.
However, Mr. Zhuang bet that the King of Yizhou did not want to offend the Ji family. Compared with the Ying family, the Ji family is now very prosperous in the court. Not to mention Ji Xiang himself, he also has three sons and one grandson who are officials in the court.
Even though the official positions of his descendants are not high, the forces behind them are not something the Ying family can resist.
In front of the Ji family, the only thing the Ying family could rely on was the King of Yizhou.
When Manbao came out of the shower, Zhou Lijun immediately went over to wipe her hair and asked quietly, "Aunt, should my fourth uncle and I stay home too?"
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Let's do what we did before. As long as Ji Hao is alive, there won't be much of a problem. If he... ahem, then you can go home and get some local specialties and stay home for a while."
"What if something happens to you here?"
"Nothing will happen," Manbao said, "The Ji family is not blind or deaf, they won't let the Ying family do whatever they want."
Bai Erlang asked, "Can we still go out climbing on Chongyang Festival?"
"Go, why not?" Bai Shan also came out of the shower, with wet hair hanging down, humming: "I have to go to school tomorrow, and I also have to go to Qixia Mountain to buy horses. I will do whatever I have to do. I don't believe the Ying family dares to do anything to me."
He said: "Ji Hao is mean-spirited, but his hands and feet are not mean-spirited. Ying Wenhai's two attacks were so brutal, humph."
Manbao and Bai Erlang thought so too. It was the same thing last time in the provincial school. Although Ji Hao was very mean and shouted that he wanted to beat them up, he didn't touch them with his hands or feet. Instead, he was pushed and kicked by them.
The three of them sighed in unison. After all, this was someone they knew, such a vibrant life. Manbao asked Keke, "Does the mall have the anti-inflammatory medicine that Teacher Mo mentioned?"
"No," Koko said, "That's an antique medicine. Now, if you're injured, just lie down in the treatment room. Whether it's potions or other treatments, they're all supplied directly through the treatment room."
Manbao had seen the pictures and prices of the treatment chamber, but because the handling fee was far beyond the current technology, it was more expensive than the treatment chamber itself.
She dismissed the idea and asked instead, "Since anti-inflammatory drugs are antique medicines, can I find out how to make them?"
Keke instantly listed more than twenty books and said, "Welcome to buy."
Then he threw the twenty or so books into the shopping cart, searched out two endless rows of books, and said, "These are the things you need to make medicine. I think you might want to read these books before you think about developing a safe anti-inflammatory drug."
Manbao counted them, but found that he couldn't count them all, so he gave up and said, "Just tell me how many books there are."
"Not many, only eighty-nine."
Manbao glanced at the thickness of one of the books and thought to himself, "Forget it, I'd better not think about flying. I'd better just crawl honestly."
Although a little regretful, Koko had to say that the host's decision was correct.
Medicine is developing, but it is not just medicine that is developing in this world. Everything can only develop in a suitable environment. Otherwise, it may even backfire.
For example, ulcer doctors have existed since ancient times. Doctor Fan was a famous ulcer doctor at the beginning, and later he had the opportunity to become an expert in trauma treatment when he joined the army.
Although he was hailed as a master of trauma, in reality, not many nobles and imperial physicians who knew his background truly respected him, especially those famous doctors, who did not show as much respect to him as they did to other imperial physicians.
Because doctors who treat external injuries have always had a low status, the reason why Imperial Physician Fan was able to rise from a ulcer doctor to an imperial physician was because he had once saved the previous emperor.
Otherwise, he would still be serving as a military doctor on the front line. In the doctors' view, the treatment of swelling, ulcers, fractures and other traumas, as well as treatments that require knife cutting, are too rough and cause too much damage to the body, and are not the right way of treatment.
Although Doctor Ji was not an imperial physician, he was treated the same as Imperial Physician Fan in the Ji family.
