Chapter 302 Little God
"What does your injury have to do with me?"
Zhang Min refused to give in. "Don't blame others for your stupidity. I won't let you do that."
When he was training with his master and brothers, he encountered a large group of gangsters causing trouble. But after the gangsters learned that their master and apprentice were Onmyoji, they did not feel embarrassed and let them go.
As a result, the master and apprentice didn't go far when they encountered the Xiao brothers patrolling with thirty or forty guards.
They arrested the master and disciples for interrogation and asked them if they were scouts and spies for the bandits.
It wasn't until Master Zhou took out his identity documents that the Xiao brothers let him go.
Later, for some reason, the three masters and apprentices met those gangsters again. They relied on their large numbers to besiege the team of the Xiao brothers, causing heavy casualties to the Xiao family's guards.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, the three masters and apprentices hurried over to help. As a result, Xiao Chengjun thought that master Zhang Min and his apprentices were part of a group of gangsters, and turned to attack master and apprentice Zhou. Unexpectedly, one of them was unprepared and was stabbed in the waist and abdomen by a gangster's machete.
If the master hadn't stepped forward to snatch Xiao Chengjun back, this kid would have been killed by the gangsters long ago, and he wouldn't be able to stand here and jump around.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chengjun said as soon as he woke up that he was injured because of Zhang Min. Without Zhang Min being present, he could not have made a mistake in judgment.
Zhang Min was also speechless.
I have no interaction with Xiao Chengjun at all, but I was a classmate in the Imperial College for one year.
Another time, when he was eight years old, he participated in the selection of the acting king's companion. He could have been selected, but he was rejected by Xiao Chengjun.
It's okay to agree, Zhang Min's father has no intention of letting his son go to the study room to accompany him.
Daiwang is in frail health. If something happens to him during his studies, the Xiao family's domineering power will mean that none of Daiwang's companions will be able to survive.
Zhang Min went to participate in the selection because of the recommendation of the masters of the Shang Shufang and the emperor's oral instructions, so he had to go.
Maybe the Xiao family had other ideas, because not long after, Zhang Min's family was demoted from the capital.
Zhang Min's father, Zhang Fangshan, was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and a former No. 1 scholar. He was demoted to the governor of Jingzhou for unfounded charges, and the whole family went to a bitter cold place.
When he arrived in Jingzhou, by chance, Zhang Mincai became a disciple of Zhou Wuchang.
"Hmph! If you weren't there, I wouldn't be hurt."
Xiao Chengjun looked Zhang Min up and down, his eyes swept over the bamboo sign hanging on his waist, and he felt disdainful: He is just a student at the county medical department, and he will not have much future in his life.
Zhang Min didn't want to argue with the fool, so he called Wen Hengyin and Wei Zhan to go back.
I heard Xiao Chengjun calling from behind: "Wei Zhan! Come here! I have something to ask you!"
Wei Zhan pretended not to hear and hurried away without looking back.
Xiao Chengjun was so angry that he wanted to chase after him, but he was afraid that Zhang Min would laugh at him, so he had to hold back.
Seeing the three of them walking away, Xiao Chengjun turned around and called Nan Zhu: "Go and see why Zhang Min is with Wei Zhan."
Nan Zhu responded and chased Wei Zhan and the others.
In the evening, the Wen family hosted a banquet for Ying Bao and Zhang Min.
Xiao Zhenniang and her husband did not eat with them. They returned to their yard early, leaving space for their children.
Wen Shu prepared dishes for Yingbao, "I made this, sweet-scented osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root, you can try it."
Yingbao picked up the lotus root slices and took a bite. They were soft, glutinous and sweet, and there must have been a lot of honey in them. "tasty."
She just likes to eat this kind of sweet and glutinous honey-boiled lotus root, which is more delicious than Yuanxiao.
Wen Shu smiled slightly and gave her another fried crab.
The small crabs in the river are fried in oil, and even the crab claws are fried crispy. They taste crunchy and very fragrant.
Zhang Min said while eating fried crab: "I traveled with my master in the past two years, and I also ate fried silkworm chrysalis. It was delicious."
Ying Bao asked out of curiosity: "Master doesn't eat meat, doesn't he?" Silkworm chrysalises can also be considered meat.
Zhang Min knew he had made a mistake and said vaguely: "I eat sometimes. Otherwise, if I go to a place with no village or shop, wouldn't I starve to death if I don't eat?"
Ying Bao was thoughtful.
Wei Zhan glanced at Zhang Min, turned to Yingbao and said, "Yingbao, are you free tomorrow?"
Yingbao nodded: "I'm free."
Since she has free time these days, she also wants to go to Yaxing to find out if there are any houses for sale near Fuxue.
"Then can you give my grandma a consultation?"
Wei Zhan's mother has become worse and worse over the years, and her body is getting weaker and weaker.
He knew that Yingbao had good medical skills and could cure many difficult and complicated diseases, but A Niang didn't believe it and said that he was just talking nonsense just to play in Qinchuan County.
Ying Bao blinked: "Your mother agrees to let me see a doctor?"
She is a girl over seventeen years old, and any more discerning family would not allow her to see a doctor.
Even if he treated Dai Wang, he was just a dispenser, and his pulse diagnosis was still 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?"
Yingbao:......
"But I have changed to learn forbidden spells." In the future, she will become a respected wizard like Master Zhou.
Wei Zhan said nonchalantly: "Then go and recite a spell for my mother. As long as she gets better, you will be a little goddess."
Ying Bao's face twitched, and she glanced sideways and saw that several people were holding back laughter. She gritted her teeth and said, "Call me little god!"
What a little goddess, how unpleasant it sounds.
"Oh, as long as you cure my mother, you will be a little fairy."
Wei Zhan peeled off a shrimp and put it in the Yingbao bowl: "I will peel shrimps for you every day from now on."
Ying Bao threw the shrimp into her mouth and nodded: "Okay, you can peel it now."
So, Wei Zhan brought a plate of shrimps in front of him and carefully peeled off the shrimp shells.
After dinner, Wei Zhan refused to go home and insisted on sleeping on the same bed as Wen Hengyin and Zhang Min.
Yingbao also lay with Sister Wen and talked for a long time.
When Wen Shu heard that Ying Bao mentioned that Wen Yurong also went to the county medical office, she couldn't help but frowned: "What did she go to do?"
The Wen family has a female school in their old house in Yuzhou. If my cousin wants to study medicine, she can just go to the family school instead of going all the way to a small county town to go to school.
Ying Bao said: "I estimate that your cousin may be one of the candidates for the acting princess."
Wen Shu turned to look at her: "You know a lot at a young age."
Ying Bao chuckled: "I just know."
Wen Shu touched her little face: "She's a bit thick-skinned."
Ying Bao also touched Wen Shu: "Yours is the same as mine."
The two girls chattered and laughed for a while, Wen Shu sighed and said, "It would be great if you don't leave in the future. We can see each other every day."
"After I travel with Master, I will come to Fucheng to see you again."
"How long will it take?" Wen Shu squeezed Ying Bao's little fleshy hand and said worriedly: "Grandma wants to find a family for me, and she will probably go back to Yuzhou next year to see her. I don't want to go back to Yuzhou at all."
She is thirteen years old this year and will get engaged when she is fourteen next year. When she is in her prime, she may get married. She feels that the time she has spent with her parents is too short.
From now on, I have to live in my husband's house and have a husband and raise children for the rest of my life. It's really boring when I think about it. It's not as good as Yingbao, who can travel with his master and see the mountains and rivers.
Ying Bao: "My eldest cousin got engaged when she was twelve years old. After the engagement, she can't play outside. If you get engaged, won't you be able to go out too?"
"Yes." Although the Wen family is not a wealthy and aristocratic family, the family rules are very strict. Not to mention that girls cannot go out casually after they are engaged. Even in ordinary times, girls who live in the old house must get permission from their elders before going out.
