Chapter 687 Do You Like Half a Person?
Because the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month was obviously the last time the pot was played this year, everyone was very interested, especially those who had never seen it before.
Princess fans headed by Chen Sande worked overtime and were active in different places. As long as they started... they would soon attract a lot of people to listen, including many literati who usually had their eyes on the top of their heads.
The restaurants, houses and even farmhouses near Xuanhu are extremely expensive. In the past, houses within half a mile were not considered nearby, but now the prices within three miles have increased tenfold.
Amid the anticipation of countless people, the day of practicing medicine finally arrived.
Nowadays, people from the Ministry of Rites still come to draw invitations in the morning, and then bring imperial doctors over. They will treat those who can be cured, and if they cannot be cured or are not sure of the cure, they will invite the patient over and the little princess will come to treat them in the afternoon.
Logically speaking, there is nothing to see in the morning, but if you don’t see it in the morning, you can’t get in in the afternoon! That’s why people are packed in three layers inside and outside in the morning.
Three people were selected today, and two of them were treated by imperial doctors, so only one patient was brought back. Xinbao left the palace after lunch. As expected, she was wearing an apricot-yellow court dress. The skinny girl without a belly wore a jewel-inlaid belt and official boots, looking so dashing and noble.
As they walked over, the person in front automatically informed the people behind: "It's coming out, it's coming out... It's coming closer... The little princess is looking at me!!"
Suddenly, people were everywhere saying, “Little princess, look at me, look at me…”
Xin Bao, who had been acting in a majestic manner, never looked away, and never turned his head even a little: "......?"
You are talking nonsense! How can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air? Anyway, it has come to this, so she turned her head and wherever she saw, people there became excited...
Then Xinbao saw a familiar figure, so she stopped and tilted her head to take a closer look. The Longxiong Guard she was looking at quickly moved aside, and Xinbao said, "Uncle Guo, it's you."
Guo Dongliao acted like a young man, relying on his good skills to squeeze to the front, but he didn't expect to be seen by her, so he quickly saluted with a smile.
Xinbao waved at him, and Guo Dong was very brave and really came in. Xinbao asked him, "Why are you here?"
Guo Dong smiled and said, "I'm here to take the military examination. I heard that the young prince is practicing medicine here, so I came to take a look."
The two of them went in quickly while talking.
Soon, the news that "the little princess met an acquaintance, and this acquaintance was an old man, and an old man who had passed the martial arts examination" spread quickly.
Because practicing medicine does not allow people to watch, so as the treatment went on, the news spread quickly.
"I heard that the man seeking medical treatment this time is also a gangster! He knows that old man who passed the martial arts exam!!"
"The little princess said that the injury was not difficult to treat. She did not treat it herself, but asked her eldest disciple to give her acupuncture and then wrote a prescription. The little princess looked at the prescription and said it was okay!"
"The little princess said she is also a martial artist, so she told the patient to be polite!!"
Everyone was very surprised: "Really? The little princess really said that?"
"The little princess is a martial artist?"
"Yes, I've heard before that the little princess is learning martial arts."
All the scholars complained: "Why is the little princess like this? We scholars are so sincere to the little princess, and we write poems and essays for her. Can't the little princess show us some love and affection?"
The warriors who heard this were immediately unhappy, "What do you know? Back then, the little princess was kidnapped by rebels in Shengping Palace, and it was us, the martial arts people, who went to rescue her!!"
"So what? If we hear about this, we will also be willing to serve you, Your Highness."
"Haha! What can you do for me? Can you beat them or catch up with them?"
The two sides immediately started arguing.
The people of Longxiong Guard shouted and rebuked, and those nearby dared not make any more noise, but those far away were still making loud noises.
After all, practicing medicine is a grand event and a good thing, and it is not easy for the Longxiong Guards to turn against them and arrest people, so they can only try their best to stop it.
Xinbao didn't give the acupuncture herself, but was just chatting with Guo Dong, so she heard it and asked, "What's going on outside?"
Hao Huashi had heard it a long time ago and learned from her.
Tuanzi thought about it, then came out and said, "Everyone, stop arguing."
No one heard it.
Yuan Shenjue raised his voice, "Shut up!!!"
Everyone gradually stopped talking and the crowd fell silent. Xinbao wanted to speak but felt he lacked the energy, so he looked at the pot next to him.
Yuan Shenjue held his forehead with his hand, but still lifted her up.
Xin Baogao stood on the platform next to the circle, holding the circle with his hand, and seriously persuaded them to stop arguing: "Everyone, please stop arguing. What's there to argue about? I spend the same amount of time practicing martial arts and calligraphy every day. I don't favor one over the other."
Someone said, "But the young prince claims to be a martial artist."
"Yes!" Xinbao said, "I studied both literature and martial arts, so I am both a martial artist and a scholar."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
When meeting a warrior, he calls himself a martial artist, and when meeting a scholar, he calls himself a scholar, to build a closer relationship. This is all a routine, nothing wrong with it!! Someone asked: "Then does Your Highness prefer literature or martial arts?"
Xinbao looked at him strangely: "Is there no one in your family or acquaintance who is good at both civil and military affairs?"
The man choked, Xinbao continued, "Then you can't like half of him, right? Xinbao's Yeye is good at both literature and martial arts. Many people Xinbao knows are good at both. Xinbao himself also wants to be good at both. So Xinbao likes both literature and martial arts. He likes them all equally."
That person: “…”
More than one person laughed out loud, some people whispered, and someone shouted: "Well said!!"
A scholar said loudly: "Well said! We are all citizens of Dayan, why should we distinguish between civil and military!"
Tuanzi nodded: "Yes, you are right."
Someone said unconvincedly: "Warriors are brave and aggressive, and ignore the law. We are ashamed to be associated with them!!"
Someone else said, "There are also people among the scholars who are capable of committing all kinds of evil! A person's character has nothing to do with his or her ability in literature or martial arts!!"
"A scholar has studied hard for ten years and worked day and night, but now he is being compared with a crude warrior?"
"Don't warriors train in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer? Who would take it easy?"
Immediately they started arguing again.
Yuan Shenjue shouted again: "Shut up!"
After a while, everyone slowly stopped again.
Tuanzi pointed at the people in front and said, "Aren't you here to take the exam?"
The people who were pointed at looked at each other and saluted, "Your Highness, yes."
Tuanzi wondered, "Xinbao really can't understand. You are all here to take the exam, why do you still look down on warriors?"
Several people didn’t understand the cause and effect relationship: “…???”
Tuanzi asked a soul-searching question: "Aren't you taking the imperial examinations to become an official? As an official, won't you serve the people? You are the 'parent' official, and your people are all your children. So do you only care about the civil children and not the military children? An official cannot be so partial! An official must be fair and selfless, and treat everyone equally!!"
Several people were speechless for a moment: "..."
