Ji Tang

When Ji Song turned the wheelchair and came out from behind the table, Zhang Qi opened her mouth wide and covered her mouth, unable to say a word.

"Your legs."

Facing her surprise, Ji Song smiled sarcastically and said, "There were some accidents a few years ago, and this leg..."

"But it doesn't matter. Isn't this a good thing? Or, the old man Daozu is already paying homage to him, so he can't ask for too much. Otherwise, Daozu will think that Pindao is greedy, and he may not be able to enjoy the blessings in the immortal world after his death!"

"Okay, didn't you say you wanted to treat Pindao to dinner? What? Seeing that Pindao is a cripple, you don't want to?"

Only then did Mrs. Zhang Qi react and waved her hands quickly: "No, no, a civilian woman is just... just"

"Okay, by the way, I'm hungry too!" Ji Song said slyly.

"Hey, look at my memory!" Zhang Qi slapped his head, as if he was a little annoyed.Under Ji Song's surprised gaze, he trotted into the square gate, and just when he thought he was being tricked, he trotted out again!

Mrs. Zhang Qi stepped forward and pushed the armrest of her wheelchair and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to buy groceries, woman? I just didn't expect to meet you. I can't leave you alone, right? I'll ask Aunt Wang next door. Help us buy groceries, we want to sit at home!"

Ji Song was speechless, so he didn't say anything and just nodded with a smile.

Soon, we arrived at Zhang's house.

From the outside, it looked pretty good. After all, her husband had served as a governor, so no matter how downcast he was, he couldn't be any worse off.

But as soon as I entered the courtyard, I noticed something different. It might be a bit too much to say that the house is bare, but it seemed a bit shabby.The yard is quite big, but except for a well and a plum tree, there is nothing else in the yard.

As if knowing the other party's surprise, Zhang Qi said with some embarrassment: "What a joke to the Taoist priest. Originally, there was property left by my husband at home, but because of my illness, the child Ren Dan is now..."

"Ma'am, this is not right!"

Ji Song pretended to be gentle and angry and said: "Can Pindao still look down on you because of your family situation? Who do you think Pindao is?"

"If that's the case, it's okay not to eat this meal!"

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Mrs. Zhang Qi quickly stopped her: "Don't blame me, my benefactor, it's all a common woman's fault. It shouldn't be."

Ji Song waved his hand, but also stopped, looked at the simple yard, and said: "Who hasn't been down and out? I remember when I was a child, my father died in the battlefield, leaving my mother and I orphans and widows, and there are many People in the tribe often starve to death. Compared to your family now, it’s much more miserable. But haven’t we survived this?”

"Now that the Tang Dynasty has clear seas and rivers, people from all over the world are coming to the imperial court, and the people are living better and better. As long as you work hard, you will always have a foothold. Since you have recovered from your illness, live a good life."

At this point, he seemed to have said unintentionally: "I heard that you have a son? I don't know about him."

"Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to mention it!"

Mrs. Zhang Qi placed Ji Song at the door of the kitchen. It wasn't that she didn't want to invite him in, but Ji Song didn't want to!But he was afraid of being smoked, so he put him at the door.While lighting a fire and boiling water, she said: "That child of the common woman is very capable. Not only is she outstanding in martial arts, but she has also read a lot of books."

"It's just a pity that he met a sluggish girl like me, otherwise he would have become famous long ago."

"However, he is better now. The woman's illness has improved, and he can concentrate on his studies. He told him to take the imperial examination next year. With my son's ability, he will definitely be able to go to high school, and then the woman will be able to enjoy the blessings."

Ji Song was speechless. He could hear the helplessness and joy in the other party's words.People who have not experienced this kind of joy of surviving a desperate situation will not understand it.Ji Song remained calm and asked casually: "The imperial examination? That's not easy. Although Pindao doesn't know much about it, he knows that there are no quotas for Taibai Academy, Taixue, Imperial College and other major academies. Someone needs to recommend someone to take the imperial examination. Otherwise, you won’t even be eligible to register.”

Zhang Qishi was stunned, he didn't know this!

"Then what to do!"

Seeing that the other party was about to burst into tears, Ji Song quickly said: "Hey, look how anxious you are, isn't Pindao not done yet?"

"Taoist Master, do you have any idea?" Zhang Qi said quickly.

"What can a poor, lonely person do? But I heard that in addition to the academy, there are two other paths: recommendation and Imperial Examination. As long as he can pass the examination, he can take part in the imperial examination. You'd better tell your son about this as soon as possible. Yes, the opportunity will be lost by then!”

Zhang Qi nodded repeatedly and chewed his words in his mouth.

Ji Song saw that he wasn't in too high a mood, so he swallowed what he said and thought he would ask again later!
Ji Song then walked around the yard. When he saw the medicinal dregs from the plum tree and the familiar herbs that were no longer familiar, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched, and he cursed in his heart: "Prodigal!"

There are snow lotus, human body, deer antler, and other precious medicinal materials in the world. It is impossible to collect this medicine without three to five hundred strings.Although the medicinal materials were broken into pieces, what was his look on his face?You can recognize the ingredients by smelling it.

However, he didn't say anything and continued to look at this and that as if he hadn't seen it.

During this period, Aunt Zhang came once, carrying a lot of vegetables and meat, and even joked about whether she didn't want to live a good life!
It can be seen from this that Zhang Qi has a good relationship with her neighbors.

Of course Aunt Zhang saw Ji Song, but she didn't ask any more questions. Zhang Qi just said she was a relative from her hometown.

Seeing that it was still early for dinner, Ji Song was talking to Zhang Qi while asking some sideways questions.It wasn't until he saw that the time was almost up that he pretended to be careless and said, "Listen to what you said, Ren Dan is not young, right? Why didn't he say we were related to each other?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qi moved his hands and sighed: "What a sin!"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. This kid is also very arrogant. He met a girl a few years ago. Although he didn't tell her, the mother doesn't know what he thinks?"

"Oh? That's a good thing. I want to know what you mean. Is there anything else involved?" Ji Song asked.

"Who says it isn't? If it were a child from an ordinary family, it wouldn't be difficult to get a child from my family's kindness, but that little lady's family would."

There was helplessness and despair in her eyes, and she said: "Even when his father is here, it is meaningless in front of him. Alas, there is no hope."

Ji Song remained calm and continued: "Is it a girl from a wealthy family?"

"No, I won't tell anyone who is a commoner woman in a family that is even more wealthy than a wealthy family, for fear of causing trouble for them. Anyway, if there is no result, just treat it as fate but not destiny! When Rendan passes the Jinshi examination, the commoner woman will find someone to talk to. Family matters will be forgotten as time goes by."

Ji Song: "."

No, I came to your house and you told me that you gave up?

What is this called?
Ji Song suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. Fortunately, he came in advance because this incident was such a big deal. If he waited until that kid passed the Jinshi examination, maybe he would be covered in feathers and he would be hated by his own daughter?

He stopped talking after that. Several times Zhang Qishi responded with um, ah, but he just didn't want to pay attention.Damn it, I was ready to inspect it, but you chickened out. Isn’t this a pole with two ends? (End of chapter)
