Chapter 160 Historical Similarities (Update 1)
On the way back, Cui Hejin didn't mention what had just happened.
Jiang Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief.
She herself didn't know how to explain how she had just climbed over the Chen family's wall.
Besides, she seemed a little rude just now, and she couldn't let Cui Hejin know.
As I walked eastward, passing through crowded areas on the main street, I could hear some passers-by discussing Jian Yunci.
If it were someone else, Jiang Zhiluo might not notice.
But they were discussing Jian Yunci.
"Have you heard? The county magistrate's son is back."
"Is that the extremely learned Mr. Jian?"
"That's him, but I heard he's very different this time."
"How is it different?"
"It's different. Master Jian's right hand is broken, so he can't take the imperial examination at all. I heard that even going to the provincial government to find a miracle doctor was useless."
"Is he not in good health? His cloak is so thick that you can see through it."
"Who knows? I heard he was thrown off the carriage and trampled by the horses several times. It's normal for him to be weak. It's a pity that now County Magistrate Jian can't get promoted."
"When County Magistrate Jian first became an official, he offended someone above him and was forced to stay here as magistrate for a long time without any promotion. He thought his son had great potential and could pass the exam, but he never expected something like this to happen."
"Not only that, Mr. Jian's engagement was also broken off."
"His fiancée is of noble status. If she hadn't been attracted by his academic and imperial examination prospects, she wouldn't have agreed. Now seeing Master Jian acting like this, it's only natural for him to cancel the engagement. However, this is a blow to the Jian family, and I don't know if Master Jian will ever recover."
"Miss Jian is also divorced, and Mr. Jian is acting like this again. The county magistrate and his wife must be going crazy."
"The county magistrate's wife even sold her dowry shop..."
…
Jiang Zhiluo listened to these words and roughly understood some information.
If she didn't know Jian Yunyin, she wouldn't pay attention to these things.
But Jian Yunyin helped her, and she came to the yamen twice to do business, and everyone handled it for her quickly and efficiently.
Regarding the previous incident at Songji Grain Store, Jian Yunyin and her father, County Magistrate Jian, handled it very well without fear of power.
So she would naturally pay some attention.
It was just a matter between the powerful and wealthy, and Jiang Zhiluo didn’t understand.
But she knew that County Magistrate Jian was a good official and had a good reputation during his tenure.
The people also have a good impression of him.
It is also because of County Magistrate Jian that the ordinary people here are not oppressed by the powerful and wealthy. Everyone can farm the land well and do some small business.
Seeing Jiang Zhiluo's mood suddenly become a little low, Cui Hejin couldn't help but reach out and touch her hair, saying softly, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"No, I just remembered what my mother said about the Emperor of Yun Kingdom being in power now. It's not easy for students from poor families to succeed in the imperial examinations."
"I heard there's also talk of cheating."
I heard people discussing at the dock before, saying that the powerful bought questions, leaked questions, and paid others to write articles.
"And he exiled you. That emperor is not a good emperor."
"I heard that he also murdered loyal and honest people."
Cui Hejin said softly: "Don't think too much, it will be fine."
Cui Hejin didn't want her to worry about these things, he just wanted her to be happy.
"Yeah, it will definitely be fine."
When Jiang Zhiluo thought about the internal strife and war in her dream, she knew that there must be princes, rebel leaders, or princes who had lived among the people who overthrew the reigning emperor.
History has surprising similarities.
When the two men passed by Xinglin Hall, the clinic was still in a dilapidated state and half of it was burned by fire. Even if it was repaired, it would take a while to do so.
But after walking for a while, she saw a plaque with the words "Xinglinguan" hanging in front of a shop.
Jiang Zhiluo's eyes lit up and she asked, "Has Xinglin Pavilion reopened?"
She remembered Lin Zhuzhu saying that Xinglinguan seemed to have found a new storefront.
As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo walked in, wanting to take a look.
But thinking that Cui Hejin was beside her, she reached out and gently pulled his sleeve.
Cui Hejin said gently, "Let's go in and take a look first."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled gently. He could understand what she was thinking.
Then the two people entered the clinic.
But the clinic still looked empty.
There were two medicine boys arranging the medicine shelves.
When they saw Jiang Zhiluo, one of the medicine boys recognized her immediately and said in surprise, "It's Miss Jiang!"
Jiang Zhiluo remembered this medicine boy. It was he who took out the silver needles when she came to borrow them the night before.
This medicine boy usually works beside Doctor Qiu.
And Doctor Qiu seems to be Zhuang Xinglin's confidant.
"Are you going to reopen the store?"
The medicine boy said, "Well, this is the instruction of our young master. Doctor Qiu and his colleagues will come back to the store to see patients in a few days. Let's tidy up the clinic first."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Is your young master okay?"
"It's okay, thanks to Jiang..."
Just as he was about to speak, the medicine boy looked at Cui Hejin warily.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "It's okay, this is my husband."
The medicine boy then spoke: "Thanks to Miss Jiang, our young master was fine that day."
"But our young master doesn't allow us to talk about this matter, for fear of bringing danger to Miss Jiang."
Jiang Zhiluo also understood that Zhuang Xing'an was assassinated, and if people knew that she saved Zhuang Xing'an, they would probably attack her.
She is not afraid, but she also has relatives, so she also has some concerns.
Fortunately, Zhuang Xingan is a careful person.
"I'm glad you're okay."
"Then can I buy herbs again?"
The medicine boy said, "The medicine cabinets are all empty now. Our young master will transfer herbs from other clinics. It will take at least three days."
"By the way, have you got any news on the medicinal herbs I asked you to help find?"
With the medicinal herbs, she can cure Cui Hejin's condition.
Although Cui Hejin doesn't cough much now, the occasional cough is still worrying.
Besides, she always felt that he looked frail and weak, and she couldn't help but worry about him.
I couldn't help but secretly use my wood-related abilities to nourish his body.
But this is not a solution.
Only wood-based supernatural power auxiliary medicines can be effective.
The medicine boy shook his head and said, "Those two herbs are extremely precious and hard to find. Our young master has asked his subordinates to help inquire about them. If we have any news, we will definitely tell Miss Jiang."
She is the benefactor of our young master and also the benefactor of Xinglin Pavilion. Everyone who knows the inside story is grateful to Miss Jiang.
It’s just that the young master didn’t want to make it public, so he didn’t tell anyone.
Jiang Zhiluo said somewhat disappointedly, "Well, I understand. Please pay more attention."
"Don't worry, Miss Jiang. Our young master has told us to look for the herbs Miss Jiang needs."
The medicine boy was no stranger to Jiang Zhiluo, so he added a few words, "Ms. Jiang, who does this precious herb require?"
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Yeah."
"That must be someone important to Miss Jiang."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but look at Cui Hejin.
