I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 70 Severe Allergies
It was another private school holiday, Zhan Feiyu heard the voice in the yard, put down the book and walked out.

"Sister." Xiao Niuniu was only three years old, and when she saw Zhan Feiyu at the door, she shouted in a milky voice.

The little girl ran over and hugged Zhan Feiyu's leg, raised her head, and looked at Zhan Feiyu with pitiful black round eyes, "Sister, it's gone."

"Sister is going to study." Touching Xiao Niuniu's head, Zhan Feiyu looked at Erlang beside him, "Second brother, why are you and Niuniu here?"

In the Zhan family, except for Zhan Dalang, his cousin, who looked above the top and looked down on his younger siblings, the remaining four children were doing well.

"Grandma made candy, and my father asked me to bring some for you to eat." Erlang is a kind-hearted person, which is not like his father, but somewhat similar to the uncle Zhan.

"Eat candy." Xiao Niuniu giggled, took out a piece from her pocket and handed it to Zhan Feiyu.

Farmers are poor and can rarely eat sugar, so they will do some hospitality during Chinese New Year.

Boil the soaked malt for a day and a night, boil it into a syrup, add chopped peanuts, add chopped fried rice, stir and pour it into a wooden basin to cool.

The man at home took a wooden hammer and beat it up and down until the sugar was firm. Then he took it out and cut it into pieces with a kitchen knife, and put it in the urn and stored it for half a year.

"Sister doesn't eat it, give it to Niuniu." Zhan Feiyu stuffed the marzipan into Xiao Niuniu's mouth, and when she saw her bulging cheeks chewing, she couldn't help laughing.

"I still have here, Xiaoyu, all for you." Erlang handed over a handful of candy wrapped in lotus leaves, only six or seven pieces, each half a finger long.

His eyes flashed, and Zhan Feiyu took it and asked casually, "How did you make so much sugar?"

Erlang, who was asked, was a little embarrassed, but looking at the brand-new house after the renovation, thinking of the mother's sour words and the curse of the second aunt, he knew that the aunt and Xiaoyu who moved out had a better life than the family.

"Dad said there was money in the family, so he gave us sweet mouths, the elder brother was beaten again, and grandma made candy." Erlang laughed when he thought of Zhan Dalang, whose face was bruised and swollen like a pig's head.

Erlang heard the family quarrel these days and knew that the money was actually ill-gotten gains.

When Li returned from the vegetable field, Erlang and Niuniu had already left.

"Mother, do you think the old house will be poisoned in sugar?" Zhan Feiyu asked with a smile, "It's made of almonds, and Erlang said that half a catty would cost fifty cents."

"It's nonsense." Li glared at Zhan Feiyu angrily, glanced at the marzipan on the table, and said with emotion, "It's your third uncle who still thinks of you."

Although the third Zhan is lazy, he is loyal and respectful to his sister-in-law Li, and he also loves Zhan Feiyu, his niece. He still remembers Xiaoyu with a little sugar.It seems that my mother doesn't know if she can eat almonds. Zhan Feiyu understands in her heart, no wonder the old house dares to send it over.

In the afternoon, Zhan Feiyu went to Wenxing study to buy paper. There were often ox carts going to the county at the entrance of the village, and it was enough to give two cents. Zhan Feiyu did not worry about going to Li's alone.

Leshan Residence.

The old shopkeeper was deeply impressed by Zhan Feiyu. There are a lot of girls who study in Shangsi County, but they are valued by the county magistrate, and very few of them can write the poem "Reclining Spring".

"Zhan Xiaomengtong, this way please." The old shopkeeper's eyes flashed, she actually came to look for the adult, is she not satisfied with the recommendation letter from the adult, and wants to cling to her in private?
However, the owner has explained that if Zhan Xiaomengtong encounters anything, he needs to help in secret, and the old shopkeeper will send him to the backyard.

The backyard of Leshan Residence is not big, but it is very quiet. The living water in the pond is introduced into the tea room, and seven or eight koi swim in the water.

On the left side of Zhan Feiyu is the half-open window, and behind the window is an old plum tree with branches. You can imagine how elegant and comfortable it is to sit here and drink tea when the winter snow falls and the plum blossoms bloom.

After waiting for less than two sticks of incense, Chongguang walked in from the outside, poured a cup of tea on his own, raised his head and drank it all at once. After drinking three cups in a row, he said, "Is it a cow drink?"

"Tasting tea is elegant, and quenching thirst is the goal." Zhan Feiyu said solemnly, grinning at Shang Chongguang's surprised expression: "My family is made of coarse tea foam, I don't think cows drink it!"

"Fat girl, you really are my bosom friend!" Chongguang pulled over the chair and sat down beside Zhan Feiyu, looking like the two brothers knew each other well, "You only drink tea when you are thirsty, so much attention can make people feel good. thirst to death."

Zhan Feiyu took out the marzipan from his purse and handed it to Chongguang, "Please eat candy."

The hand he just stretched out stopped in midair, and Chongguang looked at Zhan Feiyu suspiciously, "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief! Fat girl, you shouldn't be poisoned, right?"

Looking at the smiling Zhan Feiyu, Chongguang was even more suspicious, almost forgetting that this fat girl is also a scholar, full of scheming!
"Jinlongwei has a doctor who can detect Liren's drunkenness, what are you afraid of, Uncle Chongguang?" Zhan Feiyu raised his eyebrows and smiled like Grandma Wolf, and put a few pieces of almond candy on the table, "The old house gave it. "

Chongguang widened his eyes like hell, looked at Zhan Feiyu in disappointment and grief, and complained with grief, "Fat girl, you can actually do something that made me try poison, won't your conscience hurt?"

After a while, Dr. Ji, the owner of Leshan Residence, came. His left sleeve was empty, and his right hand held a knife and cut open a piece of marzipan for inspection.

"No poison." Dr. Ji said the test results.

"Ji Chaoce, are you sure you're not poisoned?" Chongguang looked suspicious, "Could it be some kind of secret medicine that won't be found in a short time."

Dr. Ji raised his head and sprayed back mockingly, "Are you in the palace? Still the secret medicine? You sold the Zhan family, and you can't sell the money for the secret medicine!"

Zeng Yuquan had Li Renzui in his hands because the medicine was not difficult to prepare, and only one medicine was hard to find. In addition, the symptoms after Chinese medicine were similar to those of high fever, and ordinary doctors could not see it, which would lead to misdiagnosis and death.

But the imperial doctor in the palace, or the master of Xinglin, can find it out if you are careful, and detoxification is not difficult, but even if the old Zhan family poisoned it, it was at most arsenic.

Dr. Ji picked up a piece of marzipan and threw it into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing it, he looked at Chongguang and Zhan Feiyu with wide-eyed contempt, "Killing for life! If they dare to poison, aren't they afraid of being beheaded?"

The heavy light of the scolded dog-blood sprinkler looked at Zhan Feiyu, and suddenly threw a piece of marzipan into Zhan Feiyu's mouth with lightning speed, and patted her on the back.

With a grunt, the dumbfounded Zhan Feiyu touched his throat and swallowed it?

"Haha, fat girl, you look like you've eaten Hedinghong." Looking at Zhan Feiyu's shocked and terrified eyes, Chongguang laughed and threw a mouthful into his mouth, "Don't worry, Youji The doctor is here, even if you take the poison, you can be taken back from the gate of hell."

When he came back to his senses, Zhan Feiyu stared at Chongguang, and squeezed word by word from his teeth, "I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

She had planned to eat a little bit to see if she was allergic to almonds.

With a doctor there and eating less, there would be no problem. How could I think that Uncle Chongguang would be so cheap!
"Don't worry, the three of us have eaten, and we won't die, fat girl, you look pretty similar." Chongguang admired Zhan Feiyu, who seemed to be dying. He was about to catch up with the pretenders in the palace. woman.

Zhan Feiyu only felt a fiery itching on his face. He didn't even have to think about it to know that it was a rash, and there was a swelling-like discomfort in his throat. The most dangerous thing when allergic is suffocation.

Breathing became more and more difficult, Zhan Feiyu's hand holding the edge of the table suddenly tightened, and the person fell down as soon as it got dark.

Chongguang swallowed the last bit of candy, looked at Zhan Feiyu who fell down, and was stunned for a moment, "No, fat girl, are you still going to pretend to be dead?"

"Shut up, something happened to her!" Doctor Ji originally thought that Zhan Feiyu was amusing him, but he also ate this marzipan, it was not poisonous!The piece that Zhanfeiyu ate was cut by him.

But after turning over Zhan Feiyu, who had fallen on the ground, and seeing the dense rash on her face and neck, Dr. Ji knew something was wrong.

Chongguang thought that both of them were addicted to acting, but when he looked down, he was shocked.

Dr. Ji kicked the dumbfounded Chongguang, "I'm out of breath, send people to my pharmacy!"

After half an hour.

Zhan Feiyu's breath has stabilized, but the rash on his face has not gone away.

It was obvious that the dense rash looked disgusting, but seeing that her eyes were tightly closed and she lost her quirky appearance, Yin Wuyan touched her head distressedly, and the little girl suffered.

Under the porch, Chongguang stood with a gray face. When he was holding the unconscious Zhan Feiyu before, he had already noticed that she was out of breath, and fortunately he was rescued.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Chongguang looked up at Yin Wuyan, who had a cloudy breath, and wanted to speak, but finally fell silent.

"She almost died at your hands!" Yin Wuyan's face was cold, and his eyes with no warmth looked at the guilty heavy light indifferently, "Since she brought marzipan, it is all doubts!"

"This subordinate knows it's wrong!" Kneeling down on one knee, Zhongguang lowered his head, he shouldn't have lost his sense, if it wasn't for Dr. Ji today, the fat girl would have gone to hell.

"Twenty whips." Yin Wuyan said the punishment for Chongguang.

The rules of the Dragon Guard are strict. This is also because outside, if they are in the capital, they make such a big mistake. In addition to twenty whips, there is also a half-month confinement order. Three meals a day are only a bowl of water and a steamed bun.

Dr. Ji, who hurried over, held the ointment he had just dispensed in his hand, glanced at the heavy light sympathetically, and bowed to Yin Wuyan and said, "There is no poison in the marzipan, little girls can't eat almonds, I remember that Concubine Chen in the palace can't eat them. Crabs, but the symptoms are much milder, hers are particularly severe, and a little bit is enough to kill."

There are a few people who cannot eat some ingredients, which will cause discomfort, but even if they eat them by mistake, they will not die. This is the first time Dr. Ji has encountered Zhan Feiyu.

"Nansu, go to Jinlin Village to deliver a letter and tell Li's little girl to proofread the books in Wenxing study and go back tomorrow." Yin Wuyan said coldly.

A figure in the dark immediately flew away.

Zhan Feiyu woke up at night, his face was itchy and uncomfortable, he raised his hand and scratched, his fingertips were covered with ointment.

Zhan Feiyu sighed, it really was an almond allergy.

With a crunch, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and Doctor Ji walked in first, followed by the little medicine boy holding the medicine, and the strong smell of Chinese medicine permeated all of a sudden.

"Check the pulse first and then drink the medicine." Dr. Ji put his finger on Zhan Feiyu's wrist, and after a while, "it will be fine when the rash goes away tomorrow."

Looking at the big bowl of black concoction, Zhan Feiyu got up from the bed, gritted her teeth, and poured it down, the strong bitter taste almost made her spit it out.

"You're better." Dr. Ji raised his eyebrows. He is the doctor who knows how bitter the medicine is. This girl is young, but she is fierce.

"Do you still drink spoonfuls?" Zhan Feiyu grimaced, the taste was absolutely incredible.

"By the way, Uncle Chongguang?" Zhan Feiyu who had not seen anyone hurriedly asked, although he was a bit oolong, it was also an accident.

Thinking of the heavy light on the bed with the skin on his back open, Doctor Ji looked at Zhan Feiyu with a fixed gaze. Even if he almost died, there was no resentment in the little girl's eyes, and it was clean.

At this moment, Doctor Ji suddenly understood why his seventh master wanted to treat a little girl differently. After staying in the darkness and filth for a long time, this little girl was like a clear stream, which made people happy to see it.

Zhan Feiyu frowned, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "Is Uncle Chongguang punished?"

He is not big but smart and smart, and Doctor Ji doesn't hide it, "Chongguang made a mistake and was hit with twenty whips. He has no face to see you."

As a member of the Dragon Guard, he couldn't get up after [-] whips, and Chongguang didn't have the face to follow the Seventh Master, but it was just self-blame and guilt.

As soon as he went out, he saw Yin Wuyan standing in the dark, and under the cold and bleak moonlight, Zhan Feiyu remembered that when he first met, he was really frightened, and blood was dripping from his eldest brother's sword.

"Big brother." Crisp said, Zhan Feiyu ran over with short short legs, raised his head and smiled, "Big brother, don't worry, the scourge has been left for thousands of years, I'm fine."

"Self-motivated." Yin Wuyan stared coldly at the luminous little girl with bright eyes and a dense red rash on her face, but she still smiled brightly, and it seemed that she was really fine.

"Big brother, let's go to see Uncle Chongguang. Dr. Ji said that he couldn't get up after being pumped." Zhan Feiyu giggled, looking like he was heartless, as if he really wanted to see Chongguang's joke.

Sometimes cruel, sometimes so soft-hearted, Yin Wuyan took the lead.

Zhan Feiyu followed up, and the two figures, one tall and one short, were extremely harmonious under the night.

The light was on in the guest room, and the heavy light was lying on the bed. He didn't care when he heard the door opening. The slight footsteps were not Ji... Is the fat girl here?

He got up from the bed with a rub, pulled the wound on his back, and distorted his face in pain. Looking back, his seventh master was still stern, but the fat girl was smiling happily with a red rash on her face.

"Uncle Chongguang." Zhan Feiyu walked to the bed, tilted his head and glanced at the injury on his back, and joked: "We have changed from bosom friends to close friends who have difficulties together."

"Haha, this is a tacit understanding." Chongguang laughed out loud and touched Zhan Feiyu's head, "Is it all right? Eat a moat to gain wisdom, and don't eat almonds in the future. Today, my life is almost destroyed. You're not scared."

Zhan Feiyu rolled his eyes, hehe sneered, and extended his pinky to compare, "I originally planned to eat a little bit of this."

Who knew that Uncle Chongguang was a cheap hand and threw half of it into his mouth.

That's not all, he also patted himself on the back, and he didn't know that he thought he was afraid that he would not die, so he would make up for it.

Chongguang glanced at his Seventh Master with a guilty conscience. If he was cheap again, he didn't need Seventh Master to clean up himself, he would chop off his claws!
"But your grandma is cruel enough." Chongguang mentioned the disgust and disgust of the old Zhan family.

In the afternoon, Nansu went to Jinlin Village and also investigated. The almonds were bought by Mr. Zhan at Nanbei Store. Mrs. Zhan boiled malt to make marzipan, so Mr. Zhan asked Erlang and Niuniu to give some to him. Zhanfei fish.

This is also because children in the village seldom eat candy throughout the year. Zhan Feiyu can still read without worrying about eating and drinking, but with the support of the clan, it is impossible for her to eat candy.

"It is estimated that I am worried that I will retaliate against my second uncle in the future, so it is better to strike first." Zhan Feiyu pouted.

In the case of Zhan's family, they can only eat their stomachs. Who would have thought that the grandmother who loved him before would kill him in a blink of an eye.

Thinking of the conversation I overheard last night, there was no hesitation in the cold-blooded voice. Zhan Feiyu guessed that if it wasn't for murder, and it would make Dalang and the others unable to take the imperial examination, her milk could hack herself to death with a kitchen knife.

Zhan Feiyu had nothing to do with it, and Chongguang was relieved to recover from his injuries.

……

At night, in the study, two people, one tall and one short, sat opposite each other, Yin Wuyan said in a deep voice: "The punishment and reward are the most loyal. What's the explanation?"

Zhan Feiyu, who was questioned, thought about it and replied: "It comes from the "Book of Documents", punishing suspicion with lightness, rewarding suspicion and following the crowd, and being loyal."

Yin Wuyan handed the letter on the desk to Zhan Feiyu. It was a secret letter from the Imperial Dragon Guard in the capital. The copy was the memorial from the champion of Jinke to the saint, and the core content was the question that Yin Wuyan had just asked.

To put it bluntly, the suspected crime should be taken lightly, and the sharp words of the memorial accuse the Dragon Guard of being cruel in terms of punishment for many years, which runs counter to the benevolent government respected by the sage.

Zhan Feiyu quickly finished browsing, "Guilty is only light, and merit is heavy. It is better to pass up the blame than to kill the innocent. This means that when the evidence is insufficient, it is better to give a lighter punishment to show benevolence, big brother, The Dragon Guard is often tortured and questioned?

Yin Wuyan glanced at it and was not afraid, only the curious Zhan Feiyu said solemnly: "Jianlongwei only listens to the order of the emperor, and officials under the third rank can be executed first and then played."

The discoloration of the officials in the DPRK and China to the Dragon Guard was just because he was not upright and worried that the all-pervasive Dragon Guard might find something wrong, so they twisted it into a rope, using the memorial of the champion as an introduction, the purpose is to weaken the Forbidden Dragon Guard.

"If the water is clear, there will be no fish, but the most pure and good people are dust-free and hate evil like hatred. Big brother, you are facing almost all the officials in the court this time." Zhan Feiyu is not a real seven-year-old child.

Corrupt officials feared, honest officials hated, if it were not for the Dragon Guard and obeying the emperor's orders, it would have ceased to exist.But the upper and lower levels of the court used benevolence, virtue and benevolence as the breakthrough point, and the emperor also had to worry a little, unless he wanted to leave a bad name for tyranny in the history books.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu who frowned after her words hit the key point, Yin Wuyan felt for the first time that if she was born as a boy, she would definitely leave a deep impression in the Daqing Dynasty.

"Jianlongwei is embarrassed on all sides, but still has the protection of the emperor, and many officials in the court also have a handle in the hands of the dragon guard, but if you are an official in the imperial examination, it will be even more difficult." Yin Wuyan looked at Zhan Fei with clear eyes. Fish, will the light in her eyes gradually go out one day?

After a moment of silence, Zhan Feiyu suddenly raised his lips and smiled, his clear voice was firm and resolute, "The road is long and I will go up and down to seek. Big brother, it is endless fun to fight with the sky! It is fun to fight with the earth. Endless! Fighting with people is endless fun! The road ahead is difficult, and I will overcome all obstacles!"

Yin Wuyan didn't speak again, but picked up the book and read it.

Zhan Feiyu also picked up the letterhead and looked at it again. Aside from personal emotions, this is definitely an excellent strategy!From the hands of the champion, the language is concise and the structure is rigorous, and it is definitely worth learning by a little Mengtong like myself.

The next day, early morning.

The red rash on Zhan Feiyu's face has disappeared. In addition to a few knives of paper for practicing calligraphy, there are more than ten books and a box of winter clothes. There are too many things. The old shopkeeper of Leshan Residence sent a carriage. come over.

"Wait half a month later, I will dispense the pills, you can take them with you in the future, even if you eat almonds by mistake, you will not die immediately." Dr. Ji turned around and entered the backyard after leaving a sentence, with the order of the seventh master, He has to hurry.

And the old lady of the Zhan family is mad, who knows if she will attack again, she may tell the Zeng family, or Zhang Xiucai who hates this girl, there is no one thousand days to prevent thieves.

Neither Yin Wuyan nor Chongguang appeared. It seemed that a secret stronghold of the Zeng family had been found. Zhan Feiyu climbed into the carriage and sat down, and went back to the village leisurely.
