Ask Sword

  Chapter 43 Post House

   Speaking of practicing medicine, Li Ang subconsciously stroked the medicine box next to the seat. The box contained surgical tools such as scalpels, hemostats, and midwifery forceps that he asked Cheng Juxiu to help make.

   It's a pity that the Nightmare Bell was returned to Fusi, Chengcheng Township, Yunzhou after the Baigou case was over. Otherwise, with the bell that can make people fall into a stasis coma, Li Ang would be much more confident in performing real surgery.

  ‘However, Chang’an City is so big, and it is also the seat of the Academy and the headquarters of the Zhenfu Division, so there should be many types of alienated objects.

  Maybe there is an alienation substance that can solve disinfection, hemostasis, and anesthesia all at once.

  As long as the three basic prerequisites of surgery can be solved, there is no need to be limited to bone setting massage’

   Li Ang looked at the medicine box in a daze, Chai Cuiqiao thought for a while and said: "By the way, I didn't see Yu Miaoshui today. I thought he would come out to plead guilty on the last day. Please forgive me."

"normal."

   Li Ang said nonchalantly: "After the news of my letter of recommendation spread, he has no way out.

  Anyway, he’s already torn his face and offended him to death, and he won’t be forgiven even if he pleads guilty, so it’s better to wait for the news at home.

  Wait for me to pass the exam, or fail to get into the academy. "

   Li Ang doesn't think he is a magnanimous saint. Since Yu Miaoshui wants to take advantage of the new funeral of the Li family to seize the Li family's property, wipe out the family, and even instruct the local ruffians to find trouble in the security hall, then he should pay the corresponding price.

   Presumably the other party is also mentally prepared.

  Thinking of this, Li Ang couldn't help smiling.

  I heard that after the news of the letter of recommendation from Li Ang spread, Qing'an Hall closed its doors and went out of business. Yu Miaoshui stayed at home all day, and no one saw him.

   During this time, he must have had a hard time, right?

   Then stay for another three months.

   Li Ang smiled and patted the medicine box. When he left Yunzhou, he didn't hand over the hard-earned security hall to Aunt Song or ask someone to take care of it.

  One is afraid that the quack doctor invited will misdiagnose and damage the reputation of the security hall.

  Secondly, he was worried that there might be something abnormal about the well in Baoantang—after he practiced spells, he would have to go back to Baoantang to investigate thoroughly.

  The two master and servant chatted casually with each sentence. The speed of the school carriage was extremely fast, and the sound insulation and shock absorption effect was excellent.

  In addition, you are walking on the official road of Yu State, the road surface is flat and straight, and there are no trees within ten steps on both sides of the road (to prevent the forest from eroding the road surface and guard against wild animals),

  Even if you sleep in a spacious seat, you will not be woken up by the shock.

  It was getting late outside the window, and the Xuegong convoy carrying the students from Weizhou stopped at the post on the side of the official road.

  Guanyi is also the official hotel set up on the post station. The State of Yu stipulates that there is one station within 20 miles of a prosperous state capital, and one station within a hundred miles of a remote state capital.

  The main function of the post is to transmit military information and political orders. The envoys can rely on "passing talismans" to stay, eat, and transfer horses in the post.

This Shiguan station had learned in advance that the school convoy would stop here. The staff at the station had long been waiting by the side of the road, and greeted them with smiles on their faces. They knocked on the outer wall of each carriage and greeted the students on board. .

"Wow."

   Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao stood at the gate of Shiguan Station, a little surprised at the scale of the station.

  Although there is no village or store in the front, it is built on the hillside, with post buildings, post stables, post halls, wine storehouses, tea storehouses, vegetable storehouses, boats along the river, bamboo forests, and gardens.

  It can accommodate hundreds of people, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a summer resort for luxury businessmen.

   "Yu Guo is really rich."

   Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao stood under the archway of the post station, and they all sighed like bumpkins,

"Ah."

  There was a girl's kind laughter not far away. Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao turned their heads and saw a girl who was about his age getting off the carriage with the help of a maid.

"The previous post houses in Yu State were not so spacious. A post house has to receive hundreds of envoys and officials a year. They stay here for one night and leave the next day after eating. They don't cherish the facilities in the post house. .

  Tie the horses in the courtyard casually, bring the falcons into the hall, and secretly catch the fish in the pond to roast.

   Defile the house and use it for destroying the device.

   Those with low official positions, the post house can still suppress them,

  Even if a person with a high official position is extorted and harassed wantonly, the post house has no choice but to support it.

  In the past few decades, Yu State has reorganized the post house system, strictly investigated and punished the abuse of passing talismans, and it has been much better. "

  The girl has a wide range of knowledge, a natural demeanor, elegant conversation, and a gentle tone, which attracted the attention of everyone present as soon as she opened her mouth.

  The person in charge who came to greet the post house—a middle-aged female official, blushed and said emotionally: "What the little lady said is that the post house used to be too hard.

   It can be maintained now, thanks to the benevolent government of the Holy Queen. "

  The holy queen, that is, the empress surnamed Wu a hundred years ago.

   "Yes, the Holy Empress is a role model for women in Yu State and even the world."

  The girl smiled gently at the female officer, turned her head and saluted Li Ang, "Ji Linglang."

   "Leon."

  Li Ang bowed his hand to return the salute, feeling a little curious in his heart.

  The surname is Ji, presumably the other party is the daughter of Ji Chi, the largest yamen in Weizhou and the prefect.

  I heard from Cheng Juxiu before that Ji Linglang, as a recommended student who also received a recommendation letter, has eleven spiritual veins, has reached an excellent level, and has a high probability of being admitted to the academy.

  Excellent talent, outstanding appearance, rich family background, knowledgeable and reasonable,

   No wonder that as soon as she came out, the students from Weizhou who got off the bus showed eager expressions on their faces—especially Zhai Yiming, who ranked first in the state exam this year.

  Cheng Juxiu took out a copper amulet, a paper certificate, and a school jade pendant from his arms, and handed them to the female officer of the post station for verification.

  After the identity verification is completed, the servants in the post house will remove the luggage from the car, send it to their respective guest rooms, and then lead the horses to the stables.

  The horses used by the Xuegong convoy, like the fine dogs used by Zhenfusi, are specially bred breeds.

  Each horse is tall and strong, with both endurance and speed. It eats finely formulated forage, and sometimes special medicine is added to the feed.

  Only medium and large post stations like Shiguan Station are eligible to provide them.

  The staff of the post station led everyone in Weizhou to the guest room. Ji Linglang walked in the middle of the team, chatting and laughing with another female student from Weizhou who was going to the school to take the entrance exam together.

  At the side, Zhai Yiming and several other students from Weizhou wanted to flatter them, but they were calmly turned back.

   "Wow, the daughter of the prefect's family is different,"

  Chai Cuiqiao whispered into Li Ang's ear, "I thought it would be more arrogant and domineering."

"Um."

   Li Ang nodded casually, without any disturbance in his heart.

  The tens of thousands of students taking part in the school entrance examination today, each of them is the best young elite in the local area,

  When they arrived in Chang'an, there were more royal family members and descendants of high officials and dignitaries who wanted to compete together.

  The eunuch's daughter is fine.
