Chapter 388 Orchid
After the lecture was over, Li Leling went back to the palace to write the account of today's inspection of the Imperial Medical Office.
Li Ang and Qiu Feng went home to visit the female student Ouyang Shi who had taken two days of sick leave.
The two walked out of the Imperial Medical Office, the cold wind was bleak,
Qiu Feng shrank his neck, pulled up his collar, and asked casually, "Are you a little indifferent to the princess today?"
"Have it?"
"have."
Qiu Feng held up a finger from his sleeve and shook it, "Before, you wouldn't explain so much in a cold tone."
"Um"
Li Ang squinted his eyes and recalled, "Maybe it's because there are more things that bother you recently?"
The higher the status, the greater the power, the more things you can see,
Li Ang became more pessimistic.
There are too many misfortunes in this world, such as the events of Gan Xiaoer's family in Shatao Village, Yunzhou, too many to enumerate.
Officials and businessmen colluded to plunder, clans and aristocratic families abused family law to lynch, petty officials exploited the people, workshop owners exploited workers, and hired child labor.
One pile after another, Li Ang often has the urge to draw his sword and kill him.
Scholars, scholars are unreliable.
"There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, which shelters the world's poor and happy people."
"Talk and laugh with ru, no contacts STOMATOLOGY."
The imperial examination system, which lasted for hundreds of years, made scholars and ordinary people into two insurmountable classes. Subconsciously, the vast majority of scholars don't think there is anything wrong with despising the common people. It is believed that the human rights of scholars are higher than those of ordinary people.
Even the doctors and students of the academy regard the common people more as objects to be protected.
I believe that the common people lack the ability to think and need the command and guidance of the Academy.
Everything made Li Ang feel that he was out of place in this world.
"Don't frown, let's have some fried chestnuts."
Qiu Feng patted Li Ang's shoulder with a smile, took out copper coins from his sachet, and bought two fried chestnuts wrapped in oiled paper at a roadside stall.
"Give."
She handed over a copy, and Li Ang poked open the chestnut shell with his thoughts, took out the fruit, and threw it into his mouth. It is indeed sweet and soft, dispelling a little chill in winter.
The two ate while walking, chatting about the future of the ward and the imperial medical office, to the recent schoolwork, and to the recent prices in Chang'an City—due to the completion of the railway and the improvement of logistics and transportation, the prices of goods have dropped a bit, and shopping is also cheaper than before. More convenient.
Unknowingly, a bag of chestnuts was eaten, and the two arrived at the destination of the trip. A wine shop.
The street outside is deserted and quiet, but the restaurant is very lively inside.
Scholars in groups of three or four sat behind the table, hugging the orchid who accompanied the wine in cool attire, and talked about the political situation of the court while drinking.
"Sigh, His Royal Highness the King of Yue left at a really bad time. The Ministry of Shangshu set up a new department for railways, which has far more power than the other six departments. It was unrivaled in the limelight. In the end, King Guang took the opportunity."
Some time ago, Emperor Yu actually chose Li Shan, the king of light who had never had a sense of existence, and gave him an official position to preside over the construction of the railway.
"King Guang's biological mother is surnamed Wu. Could it be that His Majesty wants to reactivate the old Luoyang officials?"
"Impossible. After so many years, how many old Luoyang officials are left? Maybe they, who have been suppressed for a long time, hate the Wu family even more than the Chang'an bureaucrats."
Changan people like to discuss the political situation. These scholars who have studied and are about to take part in the imperial examinations even use criticizing current malpractices as a means to demonstrate their own abilities, and they are extraordinarily bold in their discussions, daring to say anything except treason.
"You don't know something, don't you?"
Invade the farmland of the people, disturb the ancestral graves of the clan, and compete with the family for power and profit.
It's too easy to be hated, and it's too easy to make mistakes.
When the railway construction is completed and the matter of offending people is finished, His Royal Highness Yue Wang will return from Taihao Mountain. "
"Wonderful."
"Brother Shenming has such foresight, no wonder he was honored as a guest by the Yue Palace."
Li Ang and Qiu Feng looked at each other when they heard these people's high-spirited talk, and they both wanted to laugh.
This group of scholars were not in the political situation, so they had no first-hand information. They were entirely guessing and imagining based on newspaper articles and anecdotes.
The scholar who was praised by everyone couldn't hide his triumphant expression, and said leisurely: "His Royal Highness Yue has a lot of friends. Sit with Cardinal Xinxiu and discuss the Tao, have an inseparable relationship with the mountain Changlu Qingya of Luli Academy, and the young man with the same surname as Li. The king of medicine is cited as a confidant"
Stop, stop, why did it come to me. I don't know Li Hui that well.
Li Ang's face darkened, and amidst Qiu Feng's teasing chuckle, he waved to the waiter in the wine shop.
Wearing a blue robe, a servant with a towel on his shoulders trotted over, and said respectfully, "What are your orders, gentlemen?"
"We are from the Imperial Medical Office, and we are here to find classmate Ouyang Shi."
Li Ang asked, "Where is she?"
Ouyang Shi grew up in a wine shop with his mother who served as an accompanying orchid, relying on reading books and self-taught.
Ouyang-style mother is old and fading, the shopkeeper originally wanted to coerce and lure her to come out to accompany the drink instead of mother,
Unexpectedly, she signed up secretly, took and passed the examination of the Imperial Medical Office, and as a student of Li Ang, in turn threatened the shopkeeper of the restaurant, demanding that the shopkeeper be more polite to her.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant was afraid of Li Ang, and really didn't dare to harass her anymore, so he gave her and her mother a separate room to live in.
Some time ago, after Ouyang Shi won the first place in the imperial medical examination, he came to the office to explain the matter to Li Ang, and sincerely apologized for her deceitful behavior.
Li Ang didn't care, but admired this student who studied hard and performed well.
"this."
The boy opened his mouth, wondering: "Ouyang-style girl said she doesn't want to be disturbed."
"Um?"
Li Ang frowned slightly, and the servant fought all over, unconsciously holding back the prevarication, and subconsciously said: "She is in the backyard."
"Lead the way."
Li Ang waved his palm to let the boy lead the way.
Before entering the backyard, I heard a man's voice from the courtyard.
"Don't do this, Shier, you open the door first. If you have anything to say, let's talk face to face."
"Your Excellency, please go back."
Ouyang Shi said indifferently: "We are strangers to each other, so why bother you?"
"What is entanglement? I know I owe too much, I just want a chance to make up!"
It's a very familiar voice.
Li Ang and Qiu Feng pushed open the courtyard door, and unexpectedly saw Xi Yangyu?
Six eyes met, Qiu Feng covered his mouth in surprise, Li Ang raised his eyebrows,
When Xi Yangyu saw the two people appear, the muscles on his face twitched, and he lowered the palm of his right hand that was pressing on the door frame.
"Xi Siye,"
Li Ang's status is getting higher and higher, so he no longer needs to be afraid of Xi Yangyu, and said directly: "Are you... harassing my students?"
