"What does your injury have to do with me?"
Zhang Min refused to give in. "Don't blame others for your own stupidity. I won't fall for it."
When he was training with his master and his brothers, they encountered a large group of bandits. But when the bandits learned that his master and his disciples were Yin-Yang masters, they did not make things difficult for them, but let them go.
As a result, the master and his disciple had not walked far when they encountered the Xiao brothers who were patrolling with thirty or forty guards.
They arrested the master and his disciples and interrogated them, asking them if they were scouts and spies of the bandits.
The Xiao brothers were not allowed to pass until Master Zhou took out his identity documents.
Later, somehow, the master and his two apprentices encountered the bandits again. Relying on their numbers, they besieged the Xiao brothers' team, resulting in heavy casualties among the Xiao family guards.
Seeing the emergency, the three masters and apprentices rushed over to help. However, Xiao Chengjun thought that Zhang Min and his apprentice were part of the gang, so they turned to attack Master Zhou and his apprentice. However, they were caught off guard and were hit in the waist and abdomen by a gangster's sword.
If the master hadn't stepped forward to rescue Xiao Chengjun, this kid would have been killed by the bandits long ago, and he wouldn't even be able to stand here and jump around.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Chengjun woke up, he said that he was injured because of Zhang Min. If Zhang Min had not been there, it would have been impossible for him to make a wrong judgment.
Zhang Min was also speechless.
He and Xiao Chengjun had no connection at all, but they had been classmates in the Imperial College for a year.
Another time, when he was eight years old, he participated in the selection of Dai Wang's companion. He could have been selected, but unexpectedly he was pushed out by Xiao Chengjun.
Just accept it. Zhang Min's father had no intention of letting his son go to the Shangshufang to accompany the emperor.
The Prince of Dai is in poor health. If anything goes wrong during his studies, given the tyranny of the Xiao family, all of the Prince's study companions will be in trouble.
The reason why Zhang Min went to participate in the selection was because of the recommendation of the masters in the Shangshufang and the emperor's oral order, so he had to go.
Perhaps the Xiao family had other ideas, because not long after, Zhang Min's family was banished from the capital.
Zhang Min's father, Zhang Fangshan, was a scholar in the Hanlin Academy and a former top scholar in the imperial examination. However, he was demoted to the governor of Jingzhou on false charges and his entire family was exiled to a cold and bitter place.
After arriving in Jingzhou, by chance, Zhang Min became Zhou Wuchang's disciple.
"Humph! If you weren't there, I wouldn't have been hurt."
Xiao Chengjun looked Zhang Min up and down, his eyes swept over the bamboo sign hanging on his waist, and he felt disdainful in his heart: He is just a student of the county medical department, and he will not achieve much in his life.
Zhang Min didn't want to argue with a fool, so he asked Wen Hengyin and Wei Zhan to go back.
Then Xiao Chengjun called out from behind, "Wei Zhan! Come here! I have something to ask you!"
Wei Zhan pretended not to hear and ran away in a hurry without looking back.
Xiao Chengjun was so angry that he wanted to chase after the man and catch him, but he was afraid of being laughed at by Zhang Min, so he had to hold himself back.
Seeing the three people walking away, Xiao Chengjun turned around and called Nanzhu: "Go and see why Zhang Min is with Wei Zhan."
Nanzhu responded and chased after Wei Zhan and the other two.
In the evening, the Wen family hosted a banquet to entertain Ying Bao and Zhang Min.
Xiao Zhenniang and her husband did not dine with them. They went back to their own yard early, leaving the space for the children.
Wen Shu served Ying Bao some food, "I made this, osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, you try it."
Yingbao picked up a lotus root slice and took a bite. It was soft, sticky, sweet and fragrant. A lot of honey must have been added to it. "Delicious."
She likes to eat this sweet and sticky lotus root cooked with honey, which is even better than Yuanxiao.
Wen Shu smiled slightly and picked up another fried crab for her.
The small crabs from the river are fried in oil until even their claws are crispy. They taste crunchy and very fragrant.
Zhang Min ate fried crabs and said, "I traveled with my master two years ago and ate fried silkworm pupae. They were delicious."
Yingbao asked curiously: "Master, don't you eat meat?" Silkworm pupae can be considered meat, right
Zhang Min knew he had said something wrong, so he said vaguely, "Sometimes I eat, otherwise, if I don't eat anything in this place, I'll starve to death."
Yingbao was thoughtful.
Wei Zhan glanced at Zhang Min, then turned to Ying Bao and said, "Ying Bao, are you free tomorrow?"
Yingbao nodded: "I'm free."
She is free these days and wants to go to the dental clinic to inquire if there are any houses for sale near the prefectural school.
"Then can you give my mother a medical consultation?"
Wei Zhan's mother has been getting worse and worse over the years, and her health has become increasingly weaker.
He knew that Yingbao was a skilled doctor who could cure many difficult and complicated diseases, but A'niang didn't believe it and said that he was just talking nonsense in order to go to Qinchuan County to play.
Yingbao blinked: "Does your mother agree to let me see the doctor?"
She was just a girl of seventeen years old, and any family that was more particular would not allow her to see a doctor.
Even when treating the King of Dai, he was only the one who prepared the medicine, and his pulse diagnosis was mainly based on the opinions of the imperial doctors.
Wei Zhan: "Of course I agree. Don't you always say that you are a little miracle doctor?"
Sakura: …
"But I have changed to learning forbidden spells." In the future, she wants to become a respected great wizard like Master Zhou.
Wei Zhan said nonchalantly: "Then go and chant a spell for my mother. As long as you can make her better, you will be a little witch."
Yingbao's face twitched, and when she saw that everyone was trying to hold back their laughter, she gritted her teeth and said, "Call me Little God!"
What a little witch, how ugly.
"Oh, if you can cure my mother, you will be a little god."
Wei Zhan peeled a shrimp and put it in Ying Bao's bowl: "I will peel shrimp for you every day from now on."
Yingbao put the shrimp into her mouth and nodded: "Okay, you peel it now."
So Wei Zhan brought a plate of shrimps in front of him and peeled the shells carefully.
After dinner, Wei Zhan refused to go home and insisted on sleeping on the same bed with Wen Hengyin and Zhang Min.
Yingbao also lay with Sister Wen and talked for half the night.
When Wen Shu heard Yingbao say that Wen Yurong also went to the county medical office, he couldn't help but frowned: "What did she go there for?"
The Wen family has a girls' school in the old house in Yuzhou. If my cousin wants to study medicine, she can just go to the family school. There is no need to travel thousands of miles to a small county town to study.
Ying Bao said: "I guess your cousin may be one of the candidates for the replacement princess."
Wen Shu turned his head to look at her: "You know a lot at such a young age."
Yingbao chuckled: "I just know it."
Wen Shu touched her little face: "You're a little thick-skinned."
Yingbao also touched Wenshu: "Yours is the same as mine."
The two girls chattered and laughed for a while, and Wen Shu sighed and said, "It would be great if you didn't leave in the future. We can see each other every day."
"After my master and I have traveled, I will come to the capital to see you again."
"How long will it take?" Wen Shu pinched Yingbao's small fleshy hand and said worriedly, "Grandma wants to arrange a marriage for me. I guess I will have to go back to Yuzhou next year to find a partner. I don't want to go back to Yuzhou at all."
She is thirteen years old this year, and will be engaged next year when she turns fourteen. After she reaches the age of 15, she will probably get married. She feels that the time she has spent with her parents is too short.
From now on, I will have to live in my husband's house and take care of my husband and children for the rest of my life. It's really boring to think about it. It's better for Yingbao to travel with her master and see the mountains and rivers.
Yingbao: "My eldest cousin got engaged when she was twelve years old. After getting engaged, she couldn't play outside. Now that you're engaged, does that mean you can't go out either?"
"Yes." Although the Wen family is not a wealthy aristocratic family, the family rules are extremely strict. Not to mention that girls who are engaged cannot go out casually, even in normal times, girls living in the old house have to get permission from their elders before going out.
