"Of course, I will write a prescription for Your Highness, and you can go to the pharmacy to get the medicine and take it accordingly."
After speaking, Gu Ziyi immediately bowed to Physician Sikong and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Senior Sikong."
Physician Sikong waved his hand, signaling Shen Jiaqing to fetch paper and pen.
After Physician Sikong finished writing the prescription, Gu Ziyi personally took the prescription and put it into his sleeve.
Lili saw Gu Ziyi out the door, and Gu Ziyi mounted his horse, looking at the little dumpling who wasn't even half the height of the horse's leg.
He chuckled to himself, realizing that ever since he met this little dumpling, his horsemanship had improved dramatically.
"I heard your business is doing quite well."
Lili thought for a moment, wondering if he was referring to her second uncle's carpentry skills.
Lili shook her head: "Sigh, right now we're relying on acquaintances. It's just the beginning. The revolution is not yet successful, comrades still need to work harder."
Gu Ziyi smiled and said, "Okay, good luck."
"Your Highness always comes and goes in such a hurry, it makes me feel bad. Your Highness, are you really not staying for lunch? There's a stew in an iron pot today."
"My eldest brother will arrive in the capital soon. Now that his left wing has been broken, he's likely planning something big. We have the General of Mighty Valor's mansion in the capital, and the Marquis of Chong's mansion can also be considered on our side, so I'm not worried about the capital for the time being. However..."
Lili understood: "Oh, Your Highness is afraid that his influence will extend to the border?"
"Well, I can't go into details, but we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet again."
Lili smiled and said, "Your Highness is right."
The two exchanged a smile, and Gu Ziyi led his men away in a hurry.
Lili sighed softly. It must be so pitiful to be a crown prince, having to endure so much at such a young age.
As Lili entered, Village Chief Ma, who was jogging over, caught up with her: "Lili, has His Highness the Crown Prince left?"
"yes."
"That was too fast! The villagers are all talking about treating the soldiers to a meal," Village Chief Ma muttered, following Lili inside. He then said to Lili, "Lili, you were just in time to sprinkle those mung beans today. I was lucky I didn't get pricked. Thanks to you!"
"Hehe, it was nothing, just a small favor. And those uncles? They should be alright now, right?"
"It's alright."
Village Chief Ma came to talk about this matter. After entering the main room, he greeted the elderly people and said, "I'm here to say something on behalf of the villagers. Don't blame yourselves too much. It's not your fault. In the end, the Shen family is the most unlucky one. What kind of trouble have they gotten themselves into?"
Although Old Lady Shen had heard that no one was seriously injured and had gone door-to-door with her daughters-in-law to deliver gifts and apologize, she still felt guilty. Today, this matter almost turned into a major incident.
If the Shen family were to harm the entire Xinghua Village, she would have no face to live anymore.
"Auntie, listen to me. Luckily, nothing serious happened. Besides, you apologized to everyone and even brought meat. The Shen family paid for Doctor Zhu's medicine. Everyone knows how kind the Shen family is. It's really nothing," Village Chief Ma said earnestly, then angrily cursed the Liu family again.
"It's just that Sanlang's banquet can't be held. That damned Liu Dashi, his whole family is no good. Our Xinghua Village finally produced a scholar, and now we've run into this mess."
How could he not be angry? Xinghua Village had never produced a scholar in all these years, at most a student who had passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations. This once-in-a-century scholar was produced when he was the village chief.
Such a great thing, how prestigious!
When he dies and goes down to meet the village chiefs of all generations, he can brag about it for ten thousand years!
"Fortunately, Liu's mother deserved what she got, and she was silenced. I don't think the Liu family will cause any more trouble."
Old Mrs. Shen said, "No matter what, thank you. If you hadn't stayed behind with those men, I really don't know what would have happened."
"It's no big deal. We're all from the same village. Besides, Sanlang will continue to take the imperial examinations in the future. Maybe he can even bring back a Juren (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) for our Xinghua Village!" Village Chief Ma joked, patting Shen Laosan on the shoulder. "Sanlang, you have to make the villagers proud."
Shen Laosan naturally agreed.
After finishing what he had to say, Village Chief Ma was about to leave, as he still needed to visit the homes of the injured to check on how their wounds were being treated.
Old Mrs. Shen was still worried, so she called Old Man Shen and Old Man Shen to go along as well.
That matter is now over. However, the Shen family couldn't understand how Liu's mother, an ordinary citizen, could find so many people with such good skills.
Lili thought it was probably someone who was less skilled and whose attempts to use underhanded tactics failed.
The banquet can't be held, but we still have to eat.
The Shen family members went about their own business, but they were all somewhat distracted because they had been frightened in the morning.
Liu Wumo glanced at the silent Old Master Yang and tentatively said, "This Crown Prince is so young, yet he has the demeanor of the Crown Prince. What's most remarkable is that he doesn't resemble other royal children at all; he seems very approachable."
Grandpa Yang listened but said nothing.
Liu Wumo wisely kept his mouth shut.
He had heard of Yang Taifu's great reputation when he took the imperial examination. Later, he was fortunate enough to meet Yang Sizong, who accompanied the late emperor to inspect the people's conditions in Jiangnan.
Thinking of this, Liu Wumo couldn't help but ask him again: Was his so-called retirement and return to his hometown actually a way to protect himself?
"Old Master Yang, I had the honor of meeting you once in Jiangnan, and not long after, I heard that you resigned from your official post and returned to your hometown. What exactly happened?"
Old Master Yang frowned and said coldly, "No need to ask me, I have never been an official."
Liu Wumo was speechless.
Lili suddenly poked her head out: "Oh~ I see, no wonder you recognized me, Uncle Liu."
Liu Wumo and Grandpa Yang were both startled, and after they recovered, they looked at Lili helplessly.
Lili stuck out her tongue: "But it's been so long, it's amazing that you still remember what my great-grandfather looked like, Uncle Liu."
Before Liu Wumo could speak, Old Master Yang took the initiative to joke: "You call me great-grandfather and him uncle, the generations are all mixed up."
"Let each say their own thing."
Pear doesn't care.
Liu Wumo was quite surprised that Lili knew the ins and outs of this matter. He could tell that the rest of the Shen family knew nothing about it.
But that makes sense, Pear is different.
Liu Wumo smiled and said, "A few days ago, I casually mentioned the bed you gave me during my lecture. Sure enough, those kids spread the word far and wide. Now there are exaggerated rumors all over the city, even the rumor that the bed can cure all diseases has come out."
Liu Wumo added, "This publicity has had its effect, but... isn't it a bit too exaggerated? What if it turns out to be different from the rumors? Will that be a disadvantage?"
That's right. The favor that Lili asked Liu Wumo to help with was just a small promotion of her second uncle's carpentry skills.
