Chapter 108 Zhang Xia

Chen Ji looked outside the door of the medical clinic. There was no one in front of the bun shop, as if no one had ever stood there and stared at them.

He said: "We must first find out whether this person is following the Crown Prince or the princess. Crown Prince, have you ever been followed by this person alone?"

The prince shook his head: "No."

"Princess Princess, have you ever met this person when you went out alone?"

Bai Li replied: "I've met him before. I remember last year at the Lantern Festival temple fair, my brother was drinking with friends from all walks of life. I took my maid to guess lantern riddles, and that man also hid in the crowd and peeked at me."

"Has the princess mentioned this matter to Madam Yun Fei?"

"I said, my mother told me not to think so wildly, maybe it's just a coincidence."

Chen Ji was slightly startled.

If according to the logic of a normal person, if his daughter is being followed by a strange man, his first reaction would be to send someone to protect him instead of telling his daughter not to think so wildly.

Concubine Yun probably knows who that person is.

However, at this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats interrupted Chen Ji and others' thoughts, and they saw a maroon horse hurriedly stopping in front of the Taiping Medical Center.

Everyone in the hospital stopped talking and cast their gazes one after another. The maroon horse and the person on the horse seemed to be born to be the protagonists on the stage. No matter whether they were singing in Tsing Yi or Hua Dan, they would always be the most dazzling one.

The maroon horse was dripping with sweat, and mist was steaming under the early winter sun.

The saddle with silver wood was inlaid with gold threads and gems. On the saddle, a girl in red turned over and dismounted, throwing away the whip in her hand. The horse held the whip in its mouth as if it was spiritual.

There was no need to tie the reins anywhere. The bay-red horse stopped at the door of the hospital and was not going anywhere.

The girl, dressed neatly as if playing polo, walked straight into the Taiping Medical Center and asked loudly: "Who is Chen Ji?"

Everyone subconsciously looked towards Chen Ji, who stood behind the counter and said calmly: "I am."

The girl came to the counter as if there was no one around, and carefully looked at the wooden hairpin on Chen Ji's head. The gray cloth on her body had been washed and turned white.

The girl looked at Chen Ji across the mahogany counter and asked directly: "Have you read the book?"

"Read it."

The girl asked again: ""The Great Learning", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", and "The Doctrine of the Mean", which one are you best at?"

Chen Ji was startled: "I'm not good at these."

The girl frowned slightly and asked again: "Which of the six arts do you know about the five rites, the five shootings, the six music, the six imperial arts, the six books, and the nine numbers?"

Chen Ji thought for a moment and replied: "Nine numbers should be okay."

The girl frowned even more tightly: "Can you write poetry? If you have, take it out and have a look."

Chen Ji shook his head: "No."

Liu Quxing, She Dengke, Bai Li, Shizi and others looked at each other in confusion, none of them understood the situation yet.

The girl suddenly appeared as if she had fallen from the sky.

But I saw the girl standing in front of the counter, examining the traces. She was silent for a long time, seeming to be entangled and struggling.

Finally, she rolled up her sleeves neatly and put her slender wrists on the counter: "Give me a diagnosis."

Chen Ji said softly: "Girl, I am just a young apprentice at this Taiping Medical Center. I have not yet completed my studies, and I still don't know how to diagnose people. The old man over there is my master. I need to see him for diagnosis."

A banging sound.

The girl took out a silver ingot from the purse at her waist and slapped it on the counter, and said bluntly: "I need your diagnosis."

Just as Chen Ji was about to say something, he saw that Old Man Yao had already put away the silver ingots.

Old Man Yao stuffed the silver ingot into his sleeve and said slowly: "The patient has such a request, and we doctors should comply with it. After all, heart disease is also a disease."

The girl looked at Chen Ji: "Your master has already spoken, no need for Mo Ji."

Seeing her arrogant attitude, Bai Li was about to step forward to argue, but was pulled back to the original position by the prince's arm.

Chen Ji looked at the girl. He saw that the girl had a bright red jade hairpin on her head, as clear as the burning clouds in the evening, and a pair of red and phoenix eyes that were full of sharpness.

But where can he diagnose diseases?

When he first traveled through time, Chen Ji thought about trying to improve his medical skills. Later, he discovered that what Old Man Yao taught his disciples was not medical skills at all, but the way of a tiger, and he completely failed.

Now, how should we diagnose people?

Chen Ji was silent for a moment, and then said: "Hello, girl, I need to ask you some questions now. After you answer, I will use my judgment as follows: 'none', 'very light', 'medium', 'severe'," Is it okay to rate it based on the five levels of "very serious"?

He is familiar with this.

The girl across the counter was startled at first, then her expression turned serious: "Are you kidding me?"

Chen Ji said calmly: "It was the girl who came to play tricks on me first."

The flaming girl frowned and said, "When did I play tricks on you?"

Chen Ji said: "You are not here for medical treatment. As soon as you enter the door, you ask some random questions. I don't even know who you are or what your name is. It is very polite to answer those questions."

The girl pursed her lips: "I just want to see what you have learned in the two years you spent in the hospital."

Chen Ji calmly said: "What I have learned or what I have not learned has nothing to do with you. I guess you are also a straightforward and forthright person. If you have something to say, you can say it directly and there is no need to beat around the bush."

The girl did not get angry, but slowly calmed down: "You are just like the rumors."

"How do people spread the word about me?"

The girl thought for a while and said: "It is said that you have a dull and eccentric temperament, and are moody. You have been gambling excessively all year round and hang out in places like Hongyi Lane. You came to the Taiping Medical Center to be an apprentice because you were kicked out by your family."

Chen Ji nodded: "What they preach is true. It is true."

The girl was stunned for a moment: "You don't want to defend yourself?"

Chen Ji smiled and said: "Since it is a fact, there is no need to defend...or, there is no need to defend with you."

The girl raised her eyebrows: "My name is Zhang Xia."

"Zhang Xia?" Chen Ji looked aside with confusion in his eyes. Liu Quxing gestured anxiously, but no one could understand what he gestured.

Zhang Xia was confused: "You haven't heard of me?"

Chen Ji said sincerely: "I've never heard of it."

Zhang Xia stood outside the counter and said to himself as if no one else was around: "You don't have to pretend that you haven't heard of me. I came to the hospital today to tell you something: Where do I want to go and what do I do in the future?

It's my business, don't worry about me. If you have to worry about it, you will only make yourself unhappy."

"As long as you are honest, I will give you money every month. But you are no longer allowed to go to the gambling house or Hongyi Lane. If you teach me that you have lost my face outside, I will

Cut off your money."

"By the way, the Chen family should also have less contact with each other. During the holidays, I will arrange gifts for you, but you'd better go back less often."

Taiping Medical Center became quiet.

She Dengke's hand holding a copper scale to weigh the medicine was hanging in the air, Liu Quxing's mouth was long enough to fit a whole bun, and the Crown Prince's hand holding Bai Li's arm became stronger and stronger.

Old Yao slowly stroked his pure white beard with a complicated expression.

Chen Ji sighed softly: "Ms. Zhang Xia, did you misunderstand something? I don't understand what you said."

Zhang Xia put his hands on the counter and said in a deep voice: "My father is currently in your Chen Mansion. You say you don't understand? I'm just here to remind you and teach you how to get along with you in the future."

Seeing the straightforwardness of what the other party said, Chen Ji threw all the chess pieces in his hand into the chess basket and showed his cards: "Miss Zhang Er, I don't even go back to Chen's house, and they can't decide my affairs. I can see that, look.

If you don’t want me, why don’t you go directly to persuade your father to give up this ridiculous idea?”

Zhang Xia shook his head and said: "This is the order of my parents, they can decide. In addition, for me, it doesn't matter who I live with, just be obedient. You don't have to feel aggrieved. As a legitimate daughter, I marry a bastard like you.

It also gives you face. From now on, you will not have to worry about food and clothing, and you will be able to live a good life."

Chen Ji looked at Zhang Xia across the counter: "Please go back and tell Mr. Zhang that I will sign a contract with Prince Jing today and ask him not to think about the cement formula. Miss Zhang Er, no matter what you think, I will temporarily

You have no plans to start a family yet, so please go back."

Zhang Xia was surprised: "You don't like me? Why do you do that? You are not even remotely close to your brother Chen Wenzong. I don't know what my father likes about you."

Bai Li couldn't help but said at the side: "What are the differences between what you just said and marrying into your family? Even if Chen Ji is a bastard, he will never be so spineless as to marry into your Zhang family!"

Zhang Xia looked sideways at Bai Li: "Who are you? What does the matter between me and him have to do with you?"

Bai Li was furious: "We are all his close friends and cannot tolerate you being so contemptuous of him! Also, you said he is not as good as Chen Wenzong, but we think he is a hundred times better than Chen Wenzong and Chen Wenxiao!"

Zhang Xia was confused: "Have you lost your mind and gone crazy? Chen Wenzong just won Jieyuan today. He has read the Four Books of Classics thoroughly and is proficient in the Six Arts of the Gentleman. You said that Chen Ji is a hundred times better than Chen Wenzong. How is he stronger?"

Bai Li was so angry that the veins in his neck throbbed: "He's just better than Chen Wenzong!"

Zhang Xia did not continue to argue with Bai Li, and turned to look at Chen Ji: "If you don't like me, just go and tell your father and let him stop thinking about my father. If you don't dare to say it,

Just do as I just said."

After saying that, Zhang Xia turned around and left the hospital.

I saw her stepping out of the threshold of the hospital, taking the whip out of the horse's mouth, and getting on the horse: "Zao Zao, go home!"
