Shen Huyang was startled when he saw it, the door of the room behind him opened, but it was his younger brother Shen Huan who opened the door and came out.
"It's getting dark soon, do you want me to take my sister back to the palace?"
If it was in the past, Shen Huyang would definitely have to go back. She is a princess after all, and she is different from a prince. Although the status of a woman in this dynasty is much higher than that in the previous dynasty, she also has a token for entering and leaving the palace. After all, she is not married. Don't spend much time outside.
But looking at Lin Shiheng, who was wearing a Tsing Yi, with a warm smile and a literati spirit in every move, she paused and said softly, "It's rare to come out, let's take a look."
Shen Huan didn't think much about it, just thought that her sister was bored in the palace, looked around, and said with a smile, "I heard that these scholars are very interesting when they gather together, maybe I can hear them discussing state affairs. Sister still wants to watch it for a while, if we find a good location, it will be better and clearer."
Shen Huyang nodded, hesitantly looked at the person under his eyes after pouring the tea, and drank the tea with his eyes slightly lowered while listening to the other two people talking on the table, there was a slight smile on Zhang Junxiu's face, as if he fully agreed with the two of them. the words said.
This made her curious. One of the people on the table was clearly the sect of the third prince who she discussed with her brother before. Could it be that he was saying that the third prince could not
She pursed her lips and suggested to her brother, "Let's sit over there and get closer and see what the third brother is talking about."
Shen Huan nodded and called someone to ask the shopkeeper to clear up the seats near Hu Chuan and the others.
A group of people went down the stairs, and just after they passed, they heard a male voice with strong vitality talking affectionately.
The siblings sat down, and only then did they hear what he said.
"Brother Hu, you and I are classmates, why are you being so polite? What's wrong with coming to my house to recuperate? Then, every morning, I can ask to wake up and read with me, and at noon we will go to the lake again. Turn around, I remember that Brother Hu, you like to watch the fish swimming in the water the most. Otherwise, I will let someone fish a few and keep them in your house. If you are tired of reading, go see those swimming fish. Isn't it beautiful?"
Hu Chuan was held by Zhao He, and the blue veins on his forehead almost jumped out, "I think Brother Zhao remembered it wrong, I have no research on swimming fish."
"Where am I wrong? When we ran into each other on the boat last time, didn't Brother Hu really like the fish in the water?"
Zhao He smiled affectionately, and leaned close to Hu Chuan very intimately and enthusiastically, for fear that he might not remember it and reminded, "That day, there were a lot of people present, it doesn't matter if Brother Hu forgets it, everyone remembers it."
He didn't say it was okay, as soon as he said Hu Chuan, he remembered how badly he was beaten that day, and that's okay, the key is that since then, his reputation has become narrow-minded.
From that day on, Hu Chuan remembered the embarrassment that day when he saw the fish, where can he go to raise fish again.
Zhao He had already dragged him to talk about something that made his liver hurt even if he didn't use it for a long time. Hu Chuan really couldn't stand it. He tried hard to endure the irritable mood in his heart, stood up slowly, and forced a smile. , "Brother Zhao, it seems like you are discussing something from below, you sit down first, and I will go there to see."
"Where are you going? Do you want me to go with you? Hey, Brother Hu, we are going so fast, we are classmates, why are you being polite..."
Zhao He stood up and pretended to shout a few words. Seeing that Hu Chuan was hurried away by some monsters behind him, Shi Shiran sat down and raised his eyebrows proudly at Lin Shiheng, who was sitting opposite.
"Don't worry, there will be a lantern festival outside for a while. Brother Hu has always liked to be lively. I might want to go to see it. When the time comes, I will follow and I will have a good discussion with Brother Hu."
The people around only thought that Zhao He and Hu Chuan had a good relationship, but Shen Huan, who was sitting not far from them, saw clearly the suffocation in Hu Chuan's eyes and the intentional expression on Zhao He's face.
Shen Huan himself is not too old, he is still a teenager. Although he was precocious because he grew up in the palace, he is also a little narrow-minded. At this moment, watching this scene, he can't help but pick up the teacup and take a sip, whispering to his sister. "This scholar has an idea."
Although he could see that Zhao He was deliberately running on Hu Chuan, he didn't feel disgusted, but because Hu Chuan was under the family of the Third Prince, he had a good impression on Zhao He.
Shen Huyang, however, looked at the scholar in Tsing Yi who was complacent and laughed along with his friend. He smiled warmly, as if he was just happy for his friend, and had no idea of the relationship between the two just now.
The younger brother on the side is still sighing, "Unfortunately, I don't plan to go the way of a civil servant, otherwise I can try to recruit this one."
The enemy of the enemy is the friend.
Shen Huyang knew that her brother was talking about Zhao He, and she replied, "You don't like to study, so what's the use of recruiting this student."
Although the grandfather of the sister and brother is a great scholar, the two are not very good in learning. Shen Huyang is not bad. She is smart and clever since she was a child. , In this peaceful and prosperous world, when military attachés were not needed, Shen Huan was not favored by his father.
He himself does not like martial arts, nor does he like scholars very much. He thinks that most scholars are pedantic, but his elder sister Shen Huyang has a high opinion of scholars because of his grandfather. In terms of literature, he helps his younger brother a lot.
The place they were looking for happened to be next to the wall, and there was no one on either side, but Zhao He and Lin Shiheng were sitting in front of them.
When Shen Huan said that he wanted to recruit Zhao He, he just said it casually. Seeing that his sister didn't agree, he didn't mention it anymore. He just sat there and sips tea, and straightened his ears, intending to listen carefully to those who were recruited by his third brother as a kind of treasure. What are the readers saying.
Then I listened to the recipe.
"This Zhuangyuan Building has a great reputation. The food I sell at such an expensive price must taste very good, but I didn't expect that there is no steamed fish in Zhixian County, and there is also no golden web fairy skirt fish skin Chaos squirrel mandarin fish. …”
"The more function of the Zhuangyuan Building is to allow many students to have a place to gather. Brother Zhao doesn't have to regard it as a real restaurant."
Lin Shiheng was calm, took another sip of tea, and said in a warm voice, "If Brother Zhao wants to eat something good, we will go out to eat after a while."
"That won't work."
Zhao He looked left and right, and saw that everyone gathered on the left, not knowing what to discuss, he smiled proudly, and leaned over to his friend, "I have to let Hu Chuan bleed well."
The young scholar with a handsome face and a warm temperament showed a hint of helplessness on his face. He shook his head and said nothing, only took another sip of tea.
Although he was only drinking tea, his body was sitting upright, and the robes in green clothes hanging down on his body made him look slightly weak and strangely good-looking. His every move was like flowing water in autumn.
After drinking a few sips of tea in a row, Xiao Er probably felt that there were too many people on the first floor and the air was stuffy, so he ran to open the closed window halfway, and a gust of wind blew. Seeing that the pale face of the scholar in Tsing Yi frowned slightly, he put down the teacup, put his long fingers in front of his lips, and coughed softly, as if being blown by the wind was very uncomfortable.
He coughed lightly, and Zhao He turned his back to him and patronized to see what the people over there were discussing, but he didn't notice.
Shen Huyang saw it clearly at a glance, she turned her head and said to the guard behind her, "Go and close the window."
"Yes."
Perhaps her voice was louder. Lin Shiheng, who was coughing in a low voice, sat on the side and turned around when he heard the movement. He paused when he saw Shen Huyang's gaze, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his pale face. He kept the posture of sitting on the spot and bowed his hands slightly towards her, and gave a half salute.
"Thank you sir."
Shen Huyang always felt that he could calm down no matter what happened, but at this moment, when he looked at the weak scholar in front of him and saluted him with a smile, his heart seemed to stop for a beat.
She took a breath and hurriedly returned the salute, "You're welcome."
After thanking, Lin Shiheng smiled and nodded his head, then sat back again, and then drank tea and looked at the place where the discussion was over, but Shen Huyang was stunned, and he was not sure what the surging excitement in his heart was. matter.
Shen Huan was looking at the discussion over there, and he also didn't notice what his sister was doing. Seeing that several students were so excited that they seemed to be fighting, he was shocked, and quickly turned his head and whispered to let his sister watch the fun.
"Look, they seem to be fighting."
Shen Huyang concealed the emotions on his face, raised his eyes to the two groups of Juren over there with angry faces, lowered his eyes carelessly, and said in a low voice
"They are all well-known people. In the public, no matter how angry they are, they will not really fight."
Just after she finished saying this, Zhao He, who was sitting in front of her, also turned his head excitedly, "Brother Lin, you look like they are going to fight."
"Brother Zhao, don't worry."
That warm voice affirmed, "You are all well-known and won't do such an unwise move."
Shen Huyang's expression froze again when she said something similar to what she had just said. She unconsciously clasped her hand on the table, thinking that this scholar was more transparent than his friend, but she was a little distracted when she looked at people.
Where is his friend worried? The excitement and excitement on his face are clearly the same as his younger brother watching the fun.
The two groups of people over there still did not fight in the end, but were pulled by the people watching the fun and walked towards them. Originally, they could not hear what they were arguing about. As the two groups of people walked around, the four of them also listened. Clearly.
"Where did I say wrong? The Yanjiang River has been raining heavily recently, and there is no sunshine all day long. The Yanjiang River is located in the upper reaches of the capital. If the embankment bursts, not to mention Yancheng and Beicheng, the capital will inevitably be flooded. Damage is to shake the national pulse!"
"Open the embankment and release the water! Drain the water to Nancheng! This is the best policy!"
"The lives of the people in the northern city of Yancheng are fate, but aren't the lives of the people in my southern city?! Nancheng has been hit by floods some time ago, and the plague has not yet gone, the government ordered the closure of the city, if the water is diverted to Nancheng! That city! What about the people?!"
The student who said this was full of bloodshot eyes, and there were even faint tears. Combined with what he just said, he was obviously a person from Nancheng.
Originally, they sat quietly and watched the fun, thinking that they were just discussing the five princes of various factions and families who were often discussed by scholars, and their expressions changed immediately after hearing it.
He frowned, clenched his fists tightly with his hands hanging down, his face was ugly, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, can we leave?"
Although this dynasty does not shy away from making people talk about state affairs, but now the Yanjiang River is about to burst its embankment, and there are only two roads in front of it. Drain water.
Although some court officials said that they only released a little when they made this suggestion, no one knows that it is impossible to release only a little of the Yanjiang water. If the drainage is to be drained, only Nancheng has an option, but Nancheng was submerged by floods some time ago, which caused a plague. If this water were to flow down again, it would be difficult for the people inside to survive.
The people of the imperial city naturally want to protect themselves. After all, although the water may not flow to them, what if
But if the emperor really ordered the sacrifice of Nancheng in order to preserve the imperial city, why would Nancheng be worthy of it
Others don't know that he is a prince after all, but he knows how annoying this matter is to the court. The royal father has become more grumpy recently, and ordered the palace not to discuss this matter. These scholars discussed this in the Zhuangyuan Building Who knows if the big movement will disturb the officers and soldiers.
Although they also came out in good faith, but now the sky will be dark, he is nothing to be a prince. The unmarried princess was found in the Zhuangyuan Building where the men gathered. If the news spreads, who knows that the emperor brothers will want to What happened.
In particular, their grandfather was in Nancheng. Although the grandfather had passed away, his grandmother and aunt and uncle were all in Nancheng. Now that there is no entry or exit in Nancheng, even if he is the prince, there is no way to get the news inside.
Shen Huyang's face was also ugly, but he didn't answer his brother's words and left together. Instead, he looked at the two students and said softly, "Don't worry, the list is about to be released now, so there won't be any trouble."
Neither Zhao He nor Lin Shiheng were from these three cities, nor did they have any relatives in these three cities, so they could be considered safe.
Looking at the two gangs of people facing each other again, Zhao He, who has always liked to watch jokes, rarely lost his mind to watch the fun, and sighed with a dignified expression.
"I know the two leaders, one is from Yancheng, and the other is from Nancheng. Although they are both rooted in the capital, how can they let go of their hometown? Don't think that they are now arguing like enemies of life and death. Before the incident broke out, he was a well-known friend."
Zhao He himself came to the capital and didn't go out to meet very often, but the book boy beside him was a little expert in inquiring about news. After learning about this, he was very sighed for a while.
He was a little sad, turning his head to ask Lin Shiheng, "Brother Lin, if this situation happened to you and me in our hometown, would we turn each other into enmity like this?"
Lin Shiheng pondered for a second, "Brother Zhao, Mingxian Zhixian is adjacent to each other. If it is really unfortunate, it will be cold."
"I know, I said if."
"That's naturally an effort to come up with a surefire way to save both parties."
When Zhao He heard this, he was not only happy that his friend really didn't want to turn against him, but also that he was so innocent and helpless even though he was so old.
"If there is really a surefire way, the imperial court has already sent someone to deal with it, how can it be left until now."
"It's just that it can't be dragged on for too long. I heard that the rain has not stopped over there. Yancheng and Beicheng have a large population. Even if they are relocated, there is nowhere to settle them, not to mention that it is likely to affect the imperial city. The plague has just occurred in the southern city. If it is not cured, the entire city is locked up in the city. This plague is contagious, so how can it be relocated? If the people of Nancheng go out, wouldn’t that bring the plague everywhere? If they don’t move, if the court chooses drainage, Aren't the people of Yicheng just sitting and waiting to die? Oh, no wonder that Nancheng scholar is like this, anyway, it's difficult."
The scholar in Tsing Yi listened with a thoughtful expression, "If this is the case, why not cure the plague?"
"If it could be cured, it would have been cured by now. How many of these imperial physicians have been sent. Your Majesty even posted a list of famous doctors who can cure the plague. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Nancheng is now in and out. Who would want to go in."
Lin Shiheng frowned slightly, "If the plague is cured, Nancheng should be able to move smoothly?"
"I think it is. Nancheng suffered a flood before, and the entire city was destroyed. There are not many people left. If the plague is cured, it would be easier for them to move out than Yancheng."
Zhao He sighed and looked at the two groups of people who were still arguing in the distance, "Brother Lin has always been ill. Except for reading, he must not be very popular. This time, the matter is actually not that simple."
Lin Shiheng also looked at the people who were far away, lowered his eyelashes and looked at the tea cup on the table, as if he wanted to see the tea inside as a flower.
"Although Yudi doesn't go out very much because of his illness, he can also think of the trick. The imperial city is not close to the Yanjiang River. Even if the embankment bursts, it will definitely not threaten the imperial city. It should be the best decision, after all, if you do this, you can at least save the lives of the three parties, such a simple and decisive matter, but it has been delayed for so long, presumably…”
Zhao He's eyes were about to pop out when he heard it, so he quickly grabbed his arm and looked at him vigilantly, "Don't talk about it, it's about the royal family, it's okay for them to quarrel on their own, what if we talk about it? Whoever listens to it, what should I do if I provoke right and wrong!"
Behind them, the royal prince and princess heard the words of the two clearly.
Shen Huyang didn't clench his fists and trembled all over like his younger brother, but looked at the scholar in Tsing Yi who was stopped by his friend and smiled and didn't say any more.
He was right. Don't look at the quarrel between the DPRK and China. In fact, everyone with discernment knows that the so-called choice of three is just a game to see who has the ability to protect themselves.
The prefect of Yancheng is the queen's family. Although the queen has no biological children, she has adopted the eldest prince as her own son, while Beicheng is the second prince's family. Although it has been released, there are still relatives in Beicheng.
If it is true, let the people of these two cities leave the city first. Although it is difficult, it will not hurt people's lives. The two princes' families are high officials and nobles. He was willing to let the people from the two cities leave, just to suppress the fifth prince.
After all, everyone knows that although the fifth prince has always been mediocre, his grandfather is a great scholar in the world, and his appeal to scholars is much stronger than others. This is only seen by the fifth prince's mediocre reading, but he is still protected by the Chinese officials. come out.
It's ridiculous to say that this time, the court debated endlessly about which city to sacrifice, but the third prince and the fourth prince who had nothing to do with Nancheng were the ones who contributed the most to Nancheng. It's just to suppress the first prince and the second prince.
The two brothers and sisters who should have contributed most to their mother's family did not even have a chance to pass a letter into Nancheng. Even the fifth prince spoke for Nancheng last time and was reprimanded by the emperor.
Seeing that something happened to the foreign family, their father and emperor actually released the news that he was going to recruit a concubine for Princess Huyang at this time.
"Sister, go back."
The fifth prince really has no desire to stay outside anymore. He knew that he was not favored since he was a child. Before, he still wanted to rely on his own efforts to become excellent so that the emperor could value him, but the more excellent he was, the only The more he was suppressed and excluded by his brothers, without the protection of his biological mother, it made him suffer a lot.
He has always clearly remembered that when his father ordered him to kneel, he knelt for two hours, his knees lost his intuition, but his body was so cold that he seemed to be frozen in ice. Knowing how many heads can save him from punishment.
That day, he ran to his elder sister's palace crying, and seeing her bloody forehead, bruising and scary, held him in his arms, "Hu'an, you have to know that the fifth prince can only be ignorant."
He is the grandson of a great scholar who is admired and respected by scholars all over the world. This alone is enough to make other brothers jealous.
So since then, Shen Huan has gradually calmed down. He doesn't like reading, but only loves martial arts. Everyone knows that the emperor likes literati, so he is even more displeased with this son, but his life in the palace is indeed a little bit better.
He originally thought that as long as he could endure like this, he could be an idle prince, and his sister would not be implicated by him, but this incident in Nancheng made Shen Huan suddenly realize that even if he did not fight, the brothers would not let him go. them.
But if you want to fight, you must not anger the father and emperor.
It's not a good feeling to watch the lives of blood relatives hanging by a thread, Shen Huan is, and Shen Huyang is naturally.
She got up, "Let's go."
When passing by Lin Shiheng and the others, Zhao He was obviously taken aback by the fact that no one was found but a group of people appeared. He stared at the two of them with horror, but Lin Shiheng, who was sitting opposite him, was not shocked. He bowed his hands slightly and bowed to the two of them.
Shen Huyang returned the salute with a complex expression full of heart. Although the fifth prince on the side did not know why, he still saluted. When he saw his sister returning the salute, he also returned the salute.
After they left, Zhao He, who was on the side, dared to breathe, "Brother Lin, do you know them?"
"do not know."
"I don't know what you do to them. I thought you knew each other."
Lin Shiheng smiled and poured a cup of tea to the friend sitting opposite, and said softly, "I know each other now."
"Brother Zhao, do you know what the Nancheng Plague is?"
Zhao He didn't think too much, "If you ask me this, even if you are asking the right person, our Zhao family also has business in Nancheng. At that time, when the plague broke out in the city, the city was not closed, and our shopkeeper ran back smartly. , I was there when he said he was sick, and I remember it quite clearly."
"Brother Zhao has a very good memory, so please trouble Brother Zhao to write these symptoms to me."
"Hey, what trouble are you talking about, so polite, I'll just go home when I get home..."
Zhao He was praised with a smile on his face. After hearing this, he was about to agree, but halfway through his agreement, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, "What do you want this for? Could it be that there is someone in Brother Lin's family in Nancheng?"
"That's not true, it's just that I've read some medical books, and I'm thinking of going back and flipping through the books, if I can find a way to cure the disease..."
Tsing Yi had just finished speaking when Zhao He, who was sitting across from him, had already waved his hand, "Brother Lin, I know that you have a good heart, and I can't bear to see the people of this city die like this, but you don't understand medical principles, so what's the use of relying on medical books, not to mention Although we have finished the general exam, when the imperial list comes out, if we pass the exam, there will be a palace exam, Brother Lin, you better read more books."
Lin Shiheng nodded with a smile, "Of course I won't delay, but the court is making a fuss about this right now, I think, the question of the palace exam is likely to be the solution to this stalemate in the three cities."
Zhao He was stunned, as if it was really possible.
No no no.
As soon as he had this idea, he immediately waved his hand, "How could this be? Over the years, haven't they been serious questions?"
"In the past years, there has been no such thing before the palace exam."
Tsing Yi raised his eyes and glanced at Hu Chuan, who was walking towards this side, smiled, raised his head and faced Zhao He seriously, "If Zhao He believes me, go back and check the convenient book of water affairs. This time the palace test , test three cities to choose, eighty-nine are inseparable from ten."
Hu Chuan heard this sentence just as he approached, he felt amused, looked around at no one, and sat down, "What? Brother Lin is thinking that he failed the exam, so he started to influence Brother Zhao's thoughts?"
He had inquired about Lin Shiheng and knew that his grades were not good. He had never heard of such a person in Zhixian before, and he must have not done well in the test, but Zhao He was different. This guy has always been among the best, although I don't really want to admit it, but this time, Zhao He is 80% able to pass the exam.
Not knowing that he was jealous of himself, Zhao He was about to get angry when he heard Hu Chuan's words, but was held down by Lin Shiheng.
"It's just a question. Now the matter of Yanjiang is the trouble of Your Majesty. Only then did the idiot think that this question might be asked in this palace exam. Brother Hu, you can also read the books on this aspect. A good thing."
"Pressed on what?"
It happened that a student came back after sending the two groups of people. Hearing this, Lin Shiheng asked a question out of curiosity.
Although the two students didn't think this exam would be tested in the palace exam, they also praised, "Brother Lin is still very generous, and he is willing to share the questions he guessed with others. If this exam is really tested in this palace exam, I owe Lin a lot. Brother, a big favor."
"Where, everyone is a student, so naturally we have to help each other."
Lin Shiheng smiled modestly, looking a little embarrassed to be praised, and slowly raised his head to look at Hu Chuan, "Brother Hu, do you think I'm right?"
Hu Chuan, who could feel that he didn't pass the exam but owed the enemy a big favor for no reason, "...Yes."
I hate it.
Why didn't you just leave just now, but she came back.
However, Zhao He thought that he was not stimulated enough, so he stood up and pulled his stiff body to sit down, pointing to the dish that he just ordered on the table, "Brother Hu, you really want to invite me to dinner, but he disappeared. , Brother Lin and I didn't eat on purpose, we were waiting for you to come back."
With that said, he diligently handed the chopsticks to Hu Chuan.
"Come, come, eat quickly."
I really understand what it means to be diligent and not a traitor or a thief, Hu Chuan: "...I, invite you to dinner?"
"Brother Hu, why are you being polite? It's okay to invite him this time. Do you want to invite him next time?"
Zhao He smiled brightly at him, "Eat quickly, Brother Lin and I have to go outside to see the lanterns."
Hu Chuan squeezed his chopsticks tightly, and was about to have a seizure, when he heard the two people next to him sigh, "Since this is Brother Zhao, Brother Lin, who was invited by Brother Hu, then we will leave first."
Can't happen.
Someone was watching, and if he had a seizure, Zhao He, the shameless and skinless, would definitely say that he said it himself.
Thinking of this, Hu Chuan gritted his teeth and put down his chopsticks, "Suddenly I lost my appetite, the two of you will eat."
Zhao He smiled brightly again, "Okay."
Lin Shiheng, who was always silent on the side, took a chopstick and raised his head with a gentle smile on Qing Jun's face.
"Remember to check out."
Hu Chuan "… "
Holding his chest, he even stumbled to the front to check out.
Lin Shiheng! Zhao He!
You are waiting!
When he gains the trust of the third prince, he must make these two look good!
They didn't even have the ability to cling to the prince! !
Hu Chuan's mind was full of how he would treat these two people when he was in power, but within a few days, the imperial list was published, and Lin Shiheng actually passed the exam, and even Zhao He was second only to him in the exam. .
Hu Chuan, but fell off the list.
No matter how disheartened Hu Chuan was and gritted his teeth with hatred, Zhao's house over there was proud of the spring breeze. The neighbors knew that this little mansion had passed the first and second place in this test in one breath, and they came to the door one after another. Congratulations, plus some jubilation, it is a good lively.
It stands to reason that the palace test will take some time, but this time the palace test is abruptly ahead of schedule.
Zhao He was still a little surprised, but he thought about what Brother Lin said to himself that he might take the Yanjiang water test in this palace exam. Now Yanjiang is just holding on to it, and the 100,000 fire is imminent. I'm afraid that's all there is to it.
Did Brother Lin really guess
With a skeptical heart, he began to look up books on water conservancy, thinking that even if there was only a 30% chance, he could not fight an uncertain battle.
The palace exam came very quickly, and when the students opened their papers after meeting His Majesty sitting on the dragon chair, the last step was to ask Yanjiang how to deal with it this time.
Here, Zhao He's brows and eyes are filled with enthusiasm, while Lin Shiheng's face is calm and he slowly writes.
The palace exam of this dynasty is not like the previous dynasty. The exam lasts a few days. Generally, after the exam, the students are arranged to go to the back to rest. The ministers in the front court start to read the papers. The emperor, let him pick out the three that he thinks are the best.
Zhao He was in high spirits during the exam. After the exam, the more he thought about it, the more cowardly he felt. He couldn't help asking his friend, "Brother Lin, how did you answer?"
"In the past few days, I checked medical books and found an ancient recipe. I attached it to it. If there is no accident, it should be able to cure the plague."
Zhao He was shocked.
He thought that what his friend said to check the medical book was just a talk, but he didn't expect that he actually went to check it.
"Brother Lin, how could you do such a risky thing! You haven't tried this recipe, if it doesn't work, no matter how well you answered earlier, the result in this palace exam will definitely be bad. You, you really, eh!"
Zhao He turned around in a hurry, "When I saw the question, I was thinking that Brother Lin, you are so clever that you could guess the question in the palace exam, but you answer like this, really, really..."
Lin Shiheng sat silently in his seat and watched Zhao He turn around a dozen times before saying, "Of course I won't just write the recipe."
"Although this time it is a test of our three cities' handling methods, it also requires a standard answer. I will talk about water conservancy first, and then I will have a party later. The ancient book records that it can cure the plague. If you want, you can give it a try."
Zhao He stopped walking in circles, turned to look at his friend with a calm expression, and his face became embarrassed.
"Cough, I just said, you are so smart, how can you be so stupid."
Lin Shiheng smiled, "Brother Zhao, I remember you told me that your mother opened a lot of pharmacies?"
"Yes."
Zhao He nodded blankly, not quite understanding why he asked this.
"I'll give you the recipe when the test is over. If the recipe works, you can send a letter back and let your family members..."
Zhao He clapped his hands, and his eyes lit up, "Let my family hurry up and make a lot of money from medicinal herbs?!"
Lin Shiheng looked at him quietly, his eyes full of grief and condemnation, "Now is the time to save lives, how can Brother Zhao only have copper smells in his heart!"
Zhao He was stunned by his gaze, "Brother Lin, I didn't do it on purpose... It's just that I was fascinated at home, so I..."
Lin Shiheng's eyes were full of hatred for not turning iron into steel. He shook his head, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Brother Zhao can't just think about money."
"I know, I'll send a letter back now. If the recipe works, I'll have my family buy the medicinal materials and donate them to Nancheng."
Seeing him so sensible, Scholar Junxiu nodded with satisfaction.
"As it should be."
"After donating the medicinal materials, remember to find some people to spread the medicine donated by your family. You must speak clearly and let people know that it is the medicine donated by your Zhao family in Zhixian County. The DPRK still can't come up with any ideas, if your family as a merchant donates the medicinal materials, His Majesty will be happy, and maybe he will reward you with an official position."
Zhao He, who was strongly condemning himself in his heart, was stunned.
"Brother Lin, didn't you just tell me not to think about copper odor at this time?"
Lin Shiheng seemed to be a little puzzled, "I just told Brother Zhao not to focus on yellow and white things."
"This position doesn't count."
"But, it's a righteous act to help the people, why would you be embarrassed to ask for an official position..."
"Brother Zhao is wrong."
Lin Shi Heng smiled and said, "It's a fact to help the people, but if you don't tell me, who would know that it was the Zhao family who helped?"
Zhao He was already stunned, "But Mr. Teach, you don't need to leave a name for a righteous act. If you do this to gain an official position, wouldn't it be no different from a traitor..."
"It's still not right."
Lin Shiheng coughed lightly, and persevered, "Brother Zhao's family has done good deeds without saying a word, and some people have been helped. This is a small kindness, but if you do good deeds and publicize more, you will get an official position, and Brother Zhao's family will definitely work harder to do good deeds in the future. , other people see that doing good deeds will lead to official positions, and they will certainly follow suit, then only more and more people will be helped, which is great goodness.”
"Brother Zhao said, am I right?"
Zhao He suddenly realized that he hurriedly greeted his friend and thanked him.
"I nearly went astray, and I am ashamed!"
"Thank you Brother Lin for your suggestion, pull me back from the precipice."
Lin Shiheng smiled and returned a salute.
"No thanks."
