NOVEL NEXT Chapter 44 - three sons
Early the next morning, Qian An went to Wentian Pavilion to wait for Bingwen.
Seeing that he came slowly with Sang Yi in a hurry, he hurriedly pulled him up to the second floor.
“You really got it right. The people sent out yesterday afternoon came back at night and said that the three of them were all in the Guanyin Temple outside the northern suburbs.”
Su Qianan knew that Bingwen was in a hurry to find him, and originally planned to go and tell him last night. After thinking about it, I endured it until I came to the shop in the morning and waited.
When Bingwen heard it, his spirit was lifted. After searching for so long, I found it.
“Then I’ll go now.”
Su Qianan gave an “um”, then remembered it again, and asked, “What about the person who made an appointment to see you in the morning yesterday?”
“Master’s business is the biggest, let him wait.” Bingwen said to Su Qian’an as he went downstairs.
When he reached the door, he turned to Sang Yi and instructed: “Don’t follow, save that person later.”
“When are you coming back, son?” Sang Yi asked.
“Noon if fast, afternoon if slow.” Bingwen thought for a while and replied.
“Yes.”
Bingwen went out to find a carriage and headed out of the northern suburbs.
When crossing the city gate, he happened to bump into Xiao Mubai’s queue.
Xiao Mubai waved his hand in the direction of Yayueting with his back facing.
In the center of Yayue Pavilion, Xu Wenlan was sitting on the guqin platform. A lilac brocade robe set off his unique temperament, and there seemed to be a starlight flowing in his eyes. The slender and jade-like fingertips lightly touched the strings, and a mournful, reluctant Yangguan three stacks leaked out.
At the entrance of the north city wall, under the Yayue Pavilion. Everyone who heard it was dyed by the sound of his piano, and their faces were saddened.
At the end of the song, Xu Wenlan got up gently.
He waved his hand in the direction where Xiao Mubai was leaving, and called out in a subtle voice, “Mubai…”
It was also the first time that Bingwen heard Xu Wenlan play the qin.
After he sighed with emotion, he hurriedly urged the groom, who was still immersed in the farewell song, to leave the city quickly.
After walking for more than an hour, I finally arrived at the Guanyin Temple. Bingwen instructed the groom to wait and walk to the Guanyin Temple.
From a distance, you can see the smoke rising from the cooking in the temple, and the temple door is also open. The people who gathered inside were poor students, otherwise they wouldn’t have been nestled a hundred miles away. What was boiled in the pot was also green vegetables, two stalks of millet and two handfuls of millet, and three or five people gathered together to discuss whether it was possible to dig out more silver under the Guanyin Temple.
Bingwen only knew their names, not their looks. After looking around for a week, I didn’t know who was who, so I simply shouted.
“Shi Zhongfei, Yin Guangbo, Kong Changhui.”
“Who are you?”
An inquiring voice came from the innermost corner of the temple.
Bingwen walked in following the sound and saw a man wiping the forehead of another lying down.
“What’s your name?” Bingwen asked.
“Kong Changhui.”
“What about him?” Bingwen pointed to the lying one.
“Shi Zhongfei.”
“Do you know Yin Guangbo?”
Kong Changhui nodded.
“He went out to dig wild vegetables.”
“You three together?” Bingwen was happy and lived together.
“No, we came from different places to take the exam. We couldn’t live in or outside the city, so we were forced to live here. After talking a few times, we found that we had similar temperaments and took care of each other.”
“what happened to him?”
Kong Changhui sighed and said, “It started to burn a few days ago. I found a doctor around, and I don’t want to come here if I have less money.”
Bingwen touched Shi Zhongfei’s forehead, it was hot.
“How can this be done? If you drag it on, you must be stupid. Follow me.”
“Who are you?” Kong Changhui was a little confused, the three of them were poor and white, and they didn’t know what this noble son was calling their names at the entrance of the temple, and it didn’t look like he knew Shi Zhongfei and Yin Guangbo.
“I’m going to Bingwen.” Bingwen said with a salute.
“Are you the gentleman Bingwen from Wentian Pavilion in the capital?”
I don’t know who in the temple shouted such a sound, and the pot exploded in an instant.
“Is it really Young Master Bingwen?”
“Young Master Bingwen wonders if you can make friends.”
“Master Bingwen, come here to sit down and talk?”
Bingwen’s forehead ached, he looked at Kong Changhui, who was stunned, and said, “How about we take him to see the doctor first?”
Kong Changhui nodded stiffly.
“Anything to bring?”
Kong Changhui shook his head, then squatted down and packed up the books.
The two walked out of the temple with Shi Zhongfei in the crowd, and bumped into Yin Guangbo who had returned from digging wild vegetables.
“Who is this? Where are you going?” Yin Guangbo asked, pointing at Bingwen with a basket of wild vegetables.
“Are you Yin Guangbo?”
“Do we know each other?” Yin Guangbo was surprised that the young man in Chinese clothes in front of him could call out his name.
“Let’s go together, let’s talk on the way.” Bingwen threw his vegetable basket and dragged him out.
Yin Guangbo was dragged and staggered, looked at Kong Changhui and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Said to take Shi Zhongfei to see a doctor.” Kong Changhui said while carrying Shi Zhongfei into the carriage with Bingwen.
Yin Guangbo also followed Shi Zhongfei after hearing the words.
After the three of them had settled down, Bingwen ordered the carriage to return to Beijing to go to Ji Shi Pharmacy Hall.
“I don’t know why Young Master Bingwen came to this ruined temple to find the three of us?” Kong Changhui asked while supporting Shi Zhongfei to let him lean on him.
“What? You said his name was Bingwen? The son of Bingwen in Wentian Pavilion?” Yin Guangbo asked Kong Changhui a little excitedly.
Kong Changhui nodded to him.
Yin Guangbo swallowed his saliva and asked incredulously, “You, are you looking for… us?”
Bingwen nodded sincerely.
“Why, why?” Yin Guangbo stammered in shock.
Bingwen pondered for a while, but thought it would be better to say it simply.
“I am entrusted by others to come and take care of you one or two.”
The two of them looked at each other and asked at the same time, “Who is it?”
“He’s not in the capital now, he just appreciates the talents of the three of you, so you can ask me to take care of you for the exam with peace of mind.”
Both of them were flattered. Originally, it was the first time that the three of them had left their hometowns and came to Beijing to take the exam. Now suddenly there is a famous Prince Bingwen in the capital, claiming to be entrusted by someone to take care of them?
“I wonder if we can have the opportunity to thank him in person?” The two of them bowed.
Bingwen nodded.
“There will be a chance.”
Bingwen first exchanged elegant poems and songs with them, and then gradually led the topic to the court policy and the way of being an official. After some debate and discussion, I feel more and more that Xia Chu has such a unique vision for people.
It was not until the carriage arrived at the door of Ji Shi Pharmacy Hall that they ended their chatting happily. Bingwen and Kong Changhui supported Shi Zhongfei and let Yin Guangbo get off the carriage with Shi Zhongfei on his back and enter the medicine hall.
The doctor checked Shi Zhongfei’s pulse, inserted a needle, and prescribed a prescription. Fortunately, it was not too late, and there were no other symptoms. It is that the high fever dragged on for a long time, resulting in a coma caused by repeated body heat. He asked again, even if the high fever subsides, it will be repeated at night, so take good care of it.
Bingwen thanked them, took the medicine, and took them to the carriage to the Double Saint Inn.
Taking them to their respective rooms and settling down, Bingwen went downstairs and instructed that all their expenses should be charged to Wentian Pavilion.
Glancing at the time, it was already too late for Riyang, so he hurried to Wentian Pavilion.
