Chapter 2290 Sending a letter to Concubine Hou
This was the first time Meng Yunzheng had met Wan Yan, but he had heard a bit about him before.
It was Shu Yu who told him, mainly when mentioning the Hou family, and then casually brought up the Wan family's affairs.
Meng Yunzheng knew that Wan Yan and Aunt Hou's relationship wasn't particularly good, but they weren't enemies either. They seemed to have found a harmonious way of getting along without interfering with each other.
I don't know whether to say that the Hou family is powerful or that Lord Wan is remarkable.
"Sit down." Meng Yunzheng had tea served and sat opposite Wan Yan, asking with some curiosity, "Young Master Wan, what's wrong? Are you injured?"
"It's nothing. I've been traveling these past few days and my legs are stiff from sitting in the car. I tripped and fell while going up the mountain just now. It's nothing serious."
The page behind him pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
Meng Yunzheng frowned upon hearing this. "A fall could be a minor or major incident. It would be bad if a bone was broken."
The pageboy quickly raised his head and looked at Meng Yunzheng with eager eyes.
Meng Yunzheng, “…” His lips twitched, and he quickly understood the page’s thoughts. He simply said, “Perfect, there’s a doctor at the academy. I’ll have someone call him over so he can take a look at you first. If you’re really alright, I can rest assured.”
The academy does have a doctor, but it's not Zhao Xi; he runs a clinic in Jiangyuan County, so he doesn't have time to be the school doctor here. He only comes up the mountain occasionally to give classes to the students and teach them some basic medical knowledge.
As for the doctor in the academy, he was originally a young apprentice at Zhao Xi's medical clinic. The apprentice was quite capable in this area and very diligent. In addition, during the six months that Zhao Xi was away in the capital, Old Master Zhao had been overseeing things at the clinic and had given the apprentice some guidance.
Although he had only studied medicine for a short time, he was able to treat minor injuries and pains without much trouble at the academy.
Meng Yunzheng sent someone to fetch the doctor, and Wan Yan did not object.
While waiting for the others to arrive, Meng Yunzheng finally asked him the purpose of his visit, "Young Master Wan, are you aware that Lord Wan has come to Dong'an Prefecture?"
Wan Yan, "..."
The pageboy silently gave Meng Yunzheng a thumbs up in his heart. The top scholar is indeed the top scholar. His first question was so insightful.
Wan Yan chuckled dryly, "I came here mainly to deliver a message to Aunt Hou."
When Meng Yunzheng heard that he didn't give a direct answer, he knew that Lord Wan definitely didn't know. Did they really need him to come all the way to deliver the message? Surely the Wan family wouldn't waste such a talent.
Moreover, if he wanted to send a message to Aunt Hou, he should have gone directly to Jiangyuan County to find her at this time. What was he doing at his academy?
He just smiled and didn't say anything. Wan Yan knew he had been seen through. He coughed lightly and said, "I really didn't lie. Here, is the letter? It was sent from the Southwest."
He pulled the letter directly from his sleeve, handed it forward, and indicated that he was not lying, but had simply switched the order of importance.
"Southwest?" Meng Yunzheng had no interest in Aunt Hou's letter, but he was particularly sensitive to the word "Southwest," especially at this critical juncture.
Did they send a letter to Aunt Hou from the southwest at this time?
For some reason, he began to feel uneasy.
Meng Yunzheng's expression remained unchanged, but he said, "I believe you. It just so happens that Aunt Hou is at the manor at the foot of the mountain, enjoying the flowers with my wife. I see that you have difficulty walking and it is not easy for you to go down the mountain. I will have someone deliver it to you."
"Thank you very much, Headmaster Meng."
