Chapter 226: Escort into the Examination Room
“Snap, snap, snap.”
Xiao Yingzi clapped her hands vigorously three times, then looked at Shi Zelan very seriously: "Xiao Lanzi, why do I feel that what you said makes sense?
Do you think the officials will investigate the whereabouts of the young widow now? ”
After hearing what Xiao Yingzi said, Shi Zelan looked at her with a smile: "Xiao Yingzi, you know a lot of people, but I am waiting to hear your explanation."
"Pfft, why bother explaining the following? I'm not a scholar.
Everything I know comes from the gossip of my mother and the aunties next door. ”
After Xiao Yingzi finished speaking, she looked at Shi Zelan and asked curiously, "We heard that there was a long queue outside the Taoist temple. They were all people who went there to seek medical treatment."
Shi Zelan nodded: "I never thought there were so many patients outside the capital."
"This is also the first time I know there are so many patients outside the capital. I heard that the queue is even outside the city gate."
Shi Zelan was curious: "Hasn't the Taoist temple held a three-day free clinic before?"
Xiao Yingzi thought about it seriously and said, "My mother said that the Taoist temple used to have free clinics, but everyone still trusts the doctors in the city's pharmacies."
Xiao Yingzi stared at Shi Zelan and exclaimed, "Xiao Lanzi, I know. Is it true that Mr. Cheng is good at treating illnesses?"
Shi Zelan looked at her with a smile but no words. Xiao Yingzi came over and said to Shi Zelan, "Brother Xiaoliu's medical skills are also very good?"
Shi Zelan quickly shook his head: "He hasn't finished his apprenticeship yet."
Xiao Yingzi nodded and said, "Fortunately, I accept the fact that Xiaoliu brother did not leave the apprenticeship."
As she floated away, Shi Zelan quickly made an appointment with her to go out tomorrow.
"I know. My mother will wake me up. I will come and call you."
Xiao Yingzi floated all the way back home. Aunt Liu saw the dazed look on her daughter's face and quickly reached out to hit her.
“Pah.”
"Mother, why did you hit me?"
"Fortunately, you are not stupid."
"Mother, are you expecting me to be stupid?"
"You looked like you were half stupid just now."
“Mother, I just didn’t realize that there was a famous doctor living next door to us.
Last time, A-Zu was sick, and we had to go somewhere else to ask for a doctor. ”
Aunt Liu listened to Xiao Yingzi's words and asked, "What famous doctor? Please tell me more clearly."
The mother and daughter's voices became lower, and Shi Zelan had no intention of listening any further.
She suddenly understood the intentions of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng to continue staying in the Taoist temple for a while.
The next day, at the hour of Yin, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan left the room at the same time. They looked at each other and laughed together.
“Snap, snap, snap.”
The yard door knocked and Shi Xiaoliu opened it.
A young man passed by, and when Shi Xiaoliu opened the door, he turned around and said, "Brother Xiaoliu, hurry up."
Shi Zelan had already come out and was standing at the gate of the yard, and Xia Yu also rushed over from the backyard at this time.
"Xiao Liu, are you leaving now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Zelan saw the door to the yard next door opened. Xiao Yingzi came out and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shi Zelan.
She turned around and said to the people in the yard, "Mother, Xiao Lanzi is out. I'll go with her."
She walked over, and Shi Zelan asked her in a low voice: "Do you want to wait for Xiao Qiuhua and the others?"
Xiao Yingzi shook her head: "They sent me a message last night, saying that I shouldn't wait in the morning and disturb the quietness of the street.
Didn't they inform you? ”
"We went to bed early last night."
They walked towards the house while talking, and Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu followed them from a distance.
When they arrived near the house, they found groups of people standing outside the gate of the yard.
When they came closer, Xiao Yingzi saw Xiao Qiuhua and the others at a glance. She pulled Shi Zelan and stood next to the group of people where Xiao Qiuhua was.
When Xiao Qiuhua saw Shi Zelan, she quickly explained, "Xiao Lanzi, we wanted to inform you last night, but there was no light in your yard, so we didn't knock on the door."
Shi Zelan felt better: "Xiao Qiuhua, we went to bed early last night."
"When I came here this morning, I didn't see you and I got a little anxious.
Later I heard from them that someone had already knocked on the gate of your house, so I didn’t go to call you. ”
"My brothers are here to send that brother to the examination room as well."
"We just discussed that if the brother comes out without saying hello to us, we should not say anything and just send him to the examination room."
Shi Zelan and Xiao Yingzi nodded at the same time, and Xiao Qiuhua continued in a low voice: "If that brother greets us, we shouldn't say too much.
We wish that brother success in the imperial examination. That’s all we have to say. There’s no need to say anything else to avoid disturbing that brother’s thoughts. ”
Shi Zelan and Xiao Yingzi said they had taken note and would definitely not say more.
The courtyard door of that house opened, and a dashing young scholar came out. When he saw the people waiting outside, he smiled and said, "Good morning, everyone."
"Good morning, brother. I wish him success in the imperial examination."
The scholar looked at the people waiting outside and said, "Let's go. Everyone should take care of each other and don't leave anyone alone."
"Yes, we understand."
The young man walked forward, followed by a group of people seeing him off.
Shi Zelan's face was full of excitement, and she whispered to Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, there are so many people here, and everyone has the same idea, hoping that brother from that family can make the list."
"Sister Lan, calm down."
Shi Zelan also wanted to remain calm, but after leaving their street, they met candidates from another street. Everyone took the initiative to surround that family of scholars.
As they walked further, they heard someone whisper, "The carriage can't go in, we can only walk in."
In the dark night, Shi Zelan turned around and saw that the street on the left was crowded with carriages, and the young people on their side looked serious.
They continued walking forward and met a policeman guarding the intersection. The young man stopped and said to the people who were seeing them off, "Please send me here. I will pass by here."
"No, we'll take you to the intersection ahead where the officers are guarding, and then we'll go back."
When Shi Zelan heard Shi Xiaoliu's voice, she immediately listened to the noise in front of her and found that it was very noisy.
The young man turned around and looked at Shi Xiaoliu who was walking beside him. He asked in surprise, "Brother Lin?"
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and shook his head: "My last name is not Lin, let's go, we will take you to the examination room.
We will also come to pick you up from the examination room at that time. ”
As they continued walking forward, they saw some scholars stepping back with their hair in disarray.
The official also ran over at this time: "Examinees, please line up to enter the venue, and those seeing you off should move aside."
Shi Xiaoliu said to the young man, "My brother and I will escort you into the examination room. Let the others go. How about that?"
The young man nodded at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Thank you all for protecting me today. Thank you also to my two brothers for protecting me to enter the examination room."
