Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

The afternoon was spent seeing patients and teaching each other medical skills.

It was almost dusk, and Li Chunfu handed the prescription book to Liu Rusi again and said, "You can copy all the prescriptions in the Gui chapter. The Gui chapter contains prescriptions for women. You can copy the other chapters if you want, but you may not come across any of them for many years, so it is difficult to learn and master them."

Liu Rusi's eyes lit up, and she said quickly, "Thank you for the prescription, teacher! I will study hard and only prescribe medicine when I am sure of it!"

Li Chunfu waved his hands with a sour look on his face and said, "Let's do this for now. I'll pick out some medical books for you when I have some free time in a few days. Just learning prescriptions is just rote learning. Once you learn the medical theory, you will be able to understand everything and write prescriptions yourself in the future."

"It is important to have a teacher to learn from. Students will always remember the teacher's kindness in teaching them!" Liu Rusi couldn't help but bowed solemnly to Li Chunfu.

"Oh..." Li Chunfu felt awkward and just scratched his head. He turned around and went back.

Liu Rusi was flipping through the prescription book as she returned to the base in high spirits. She was in such a good mood that she walked so briskly that she almost flew.

Seeing her like this, Chu Shiyu couldn't help but feel happy, and asked with a smile: "Did you know that Li Chunfu was a superb doctor and would be willing to teach you?"

Liu Rusi couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't know. I just want to use my sincerity to do my best to impress a certain teacher. If I try my best, I won't regret it."

Chu Shiyu looked at her and said seriously, "Yeah... me too."

The smile under the curtain immediately disappeared. You know how to ruin a good mood! Liu Rusi was speechless! She had a deadline for studying hard. If she still couldn't succeed after the plague was over, she would give up this time. What about him? When would he let her go?

Return to the base to shower, change clothes and have dinner.

Chu Shiyu took the initiative again and said, "Let me help you copy. You must not have had a good rest these days because of drawing. Go to bed early tonight."

"No, I can remember it faster if I copy it myself. This is the same reason why Teacher Li asked the medicine boy to copy the prescriptions." Liu Rusi was about to enter the big tent with the prescription book.

"Wait, copy outside. I'll serve you writing brushes and ink." Chu Shiyu signaled the maid to take out the writing brushes and ink from the big tent, and said with a gentle smile, "Write and draw outside in the future. The light inside is not good."

Liu Rusi almost couldn't hold back her breath! Didn't she even have the freedom to write something in private? !

She glared at Chu Shiyu with her almond eyes, but he remained unmoved and just said softly, "I can not read what you write, but I will help you take care of your time so that you don't get lost in your rest."

She didn't discipline her son Qin Hao so strictly! Liu Rusi was furious, but she didn't know how to resist. Some threats can't be used frequently. This matter is not a big deal, but it is particularly annoying!

Watching the maids setting up the pens, ink, paper and inkstone, Liu Rusi walked past Chu Shiyu with an expressionless face and stomped her feet hard!

"hiss…"

Chu Shiyu, whose foot was stepped on, cried out in pain but smiled at the same time. He would vent his anger on him, which was good.

Liu Rusi only copied ten prescriptions from the Gui Chapter, not because she did not want to learn more, but because she understood the principle of biting off more than one can chew. Moreover, if possible, she wanted to specialize in women's diseases in the future.

In her previous life, her goal was to become a surgeon, hoping to have a female surgeon in the operating room where there were more men than women. However, Daxia lacked the most basic equipment and medicines, and she had not yet learned that much...

Daxia had a more pressing problem to solve. Gynecological diseases were always kept secret, and most doctors were men, so many women just had to endure it. Not only did they suffer physically, but they also suffered tremendous psychological pressure, worrying that their husbands would misunderstand and hate them. If they were not hated, they would often feel guilty and inferior, even though most of the time it was not their fault.

It was the Si hour on the fifth day in Hemiao Town.

A procession of carriages and horses with flags flying arrived outside the city of Xingzhou. It was King Kang's carriage that arrived.

When Sun Zhizhao received the news, he went out of the city to welcome them. Although he did not hold any official position, he was in charge of the Xingzhou City on behalf of Prince Duan, so he should stand in the front.

They did stand like this at the beginning, but as soon as Prince Kang stepped out of the carriage, the entire Zhang family passed him and knelt down, almost crying and shouting, "Greetings, Prince Kang! The flood was cruel and took away our uncle who was the prefect of the Zhang family. The people of Xingzhou City are in a panic and are waiting for Prince Kang to come down and make the decision!"

Sun Zhizhao looked at the Zhang family with disdain. He waited until they had almost finished speaking before he stepped forward, clasped his fists, and bowed, saying, "I am Sun Zhizhao, and I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Kang."

“No need to be so polite.” Prince Kang walked over slowly, his gentle temperament making people feel like they were in a spring breeze. He raised his hand to the Zhang family and pretended to support Sun Zhizhao.

There was another carriage behind them, and Concubine Zhang came out, supported by her maid. Xingzhou City was her mother's home, so naturally she was brought here.

Concubine Zhang smiled at her mother and younger brothers and sisters. The eldest lady who had just stood up and all the Zhang family members were very excited, with a look of pride on their faces!

"Where is the third brother?" Prince Kang asked Sun Zhizhao in a friendly manner.

"To reply to His Royal Highness Prince Kang, most of the people in Xingzhou City have now been well fed and clothed, but there are sporadic cases of plague in the town near Zhangjiazhuangzi. His Royal Highness Prince Duan is concerned about the people and has gone to take charge of the situation."

Sun Zhizhao had a fake smile on his face: "I have the honor to take charge of the affairs of Xingzhou City on behalf of His Royal Highness Prince Duan, so I will be waiting to welcome you. If I have been impolite, I hope Your Royal Highness Prince Kang will forgive me."

King Kang showed a worried look and said, "My third brother has gone through several life-and-death ordeals in a short period of time. He was seriously injured and missing, and then faced the flood after traveling a long way. Now the disaster relief work is heavy and there is an epidemic. I am afraid that he will be too tired, so I want to share some of his worries... It shouldn't be presumptuous, right?"

Isn't that presumptuous? ! How presumptuous you are! Why didn't you ask before you came? ! Sun Zhizhao lowered his head and said through gritted teeth: "Of course not. Right now, I am too busy to do anything else. With His Royal Highness Kang coming to help, perhaps the disaster relief work can be done in a day or two."

Zhou's staff behind King Kang said angrily: "How can you say that? Your Highness King Kang is wise and powerful, and he will surely make Xingzhou City change with each passing day..."

"Hush..." King Kang chuckled and interrupted Zhou's staff's rebuttal, and asked, "Where is the town where the plague broke out? I'll go see my third brother first."

"Your Highness Prince Kang, it's dangerous there!" Zhang family.

"Your Highness, you can't do that!" Zhou's staff said.

Sun Zhizhao said a step slower, "Your Highness should focus on your own health. The plague is dangerous, so it is better not to take risks. If you make a mistake, I will be punished by Prince Duan."

“In recent years, I have gradually felt that I am like a dead tree that has grown back to life. Now I am no different from an ordinary person. There is no need to worry.” King Kang said in a gentle voice.

Don't you like to pretend to be sick? Don't pretend anymore? Sun Zhizhao pondered for a while and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Duan has informed me of your letter. The situation in Hemiao Town has gradually improved with Prince Duan in charge. If His Royal Highness Prince Kang is willing, please help Xingzhou City to revive its trade."

"Huh?" King Kang asked with a hint of surprise.

"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you ask His Royal Highness Prince Kang for help?" Zhou Muliao said angrily again.

After a brief thought, King Kang asked, "How do you want me to help you, my third brother?"

Sun Zhizhao reluctantly took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands, hesitatingly saying, "His Royal Highness Prince Duan said... people and things should be put to good use. His Royal Highness Prince Kang is a man of great talent. Since you are here... just take care of these matters... right?"

After opening the book and flipping through it for a few times, King Kang couldn't help but show a ridiculous expression on his face, and said to himself: "Are you leaving all the things to me? You are really good at calculating by pretending to be an imperial envoy but being a hands-off manager..."

Sun Zhizhao saw that Prince Kang and his entourage all had an expression of "wanting to cheat people?", and couldn't help but feel proud. His own prince was very calculating, and he took the big benefits and lived freely, while others could only get a little soup while working for him.

However, Sun Zhizhao still felt that this delicious bone soup could be enjoyed slowly by himself, so why share it with others? It was just that he could give advice to the prince, but he could not make decisions on his behalf. Once the prince gave an order, he had to execute it no matter how unreasonable it was.

"Okay, since I have nothing to do, I will help my third brother with some chores." Prince Kang closed the book, still feeling happy.

"Ah..." Sun Zhizhao didn't expect that King Kang would agree so quickly! He was expecting that King Kang would be unwilling to do it and return home in two days!

Taking this job is like working under Prince Duan! Whether it is war, disaster relief or other major events, the king will not meet the king, because when they meet, there must be a hierarchy! A minister for a while, often a minister forever! Although King Kang has no intention of surrendering, it would not sound good if it got out!

Prince Kang walked forward and said calmly, "Since you want to deal with the affairs, please take me to the government office."

Sun Zhizhao was immediately anxious. The government office was now their territory! But the prince was moving forward, and no one here was qualified to stop him. He could not think of how to dissuade him.

However, someone else dissuaded her. Concubine Zhang said, "Why don't you stay at my farm for a while? This Xingzhou city has just been flooded, I'm afraid it's not very clean..."

"I heard that Magistrate Zhang died in Xingzhou City?" King Kang spoke softly without turning his head.

Concubine Zhang was speechless. How could she respond to this? If she agreed, wouldn't it mean that her biological father died an unclean death...

Madam Zhang had already been holding hands with the concubine, and she quickly pulled her aside, saying, "The villa is a bit remote, and the Zhang family has another house in Xingzhou City. It has been cleaned up and the food and wine have been prepared. Your Highness, why don't you go have lunch first and then take a rest?"

Prince Kang smiled, turned around and asked Sun Zhizhao: "Does the government office provide food for the officials and servants?"

How could there be none? It's better to ask if the sun is square! Sun Zhizhao said with a sullen face: "The food prepared by the government office is bland, and certainly not as rich as the wine and food prepared by the Zhang family..."

"It just so happens that I have learned the way to keep in good health, which is to focus on eating less and lighter food." King Kang walked straight towards the government office.

The Zhang family was now in an awkward situation. They were very familiar with the yamen and would often come here to pretend to be there. But now all the people in the yamen had been recruited by Prince Duan, and the Zhang family no longer had a say!

Now only Concubine Zhang is a relative of Prince Kang and can follow with justification. If other members of the Zhang family follow in, will there be seats reserved for them?

"Since the Zhang family has prepared the banquet, you can go back and eat it on my behalf, so as not to waste your mother's kindness." Prince Kang turned his head slightly and said to Concubine Zhang.

Now that Prince Kang was determined to enter the government office, saying this was already a courtesy, and Concubine Zhang quickly bowed her head and agreed. She and the Zhang family stood at the entrance of the government office and watched Prince Kang go in. Only then did Concubine Zhang turn around with a complicated expression and walked back hand in hand with her mother.

Zhang Rujin, the second daughter, saw everything. She suddenly felt that just taking care of her husband and children could not bring her a comfortable life. Under the surface of glory...

Sun Zhizhao was speechless. How could the food of ordinary yamen runners really be given to King Kang? There were meals, but they were prepared for Young Master Qin Hao! Although it was enough for three or five people, it would look shabby if it was divided. If it was all given to King Kang, then he couldn't let the young master eat the food, or starve to wait for the meal, right?

Leading Prince Kang to the still empty banquet hall, Sun Zhizhao bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness Prince Kang, wait a moment. I'll have someone serve the meal."

Prince Kang agreed, and Sun Zhizhao hurried to the large courtyard at the back. Caiyun and Xiao Qinhao were already seated in the small hall, and Meihong and Zhuqing were starting to serve the dishes.

"Young Master! Miss Caiyun, can we...eat somewhere else? Prince Kang suddenly wants to come to the government office to eat, and there is no food prepared for him here! We can make do with these..."

Little Qin Hao's eyes lit up. Is there an important person coming? He asked quickly, "Is my foster father coming back? Is my mother coming back too?"

"Um... no, the prince is in Hemiao Town, and he won't be back until the epidemic is over." Sun Zhizhao was embarrassed. The young master asked this question every day, and recently he asked it twice a day.

"Oh, let's go." Little Qin Hao stood up with disappointment on his face. It didn't matter where we ate if his mother didn't come back.

However, Caiyun was in a panic. She was familiar with Prince Duan, but she had never seen Prince Kang! She was a country girl. Wouldn't it be torture for her to have dinner with such a big shot? She said hurriedly, "I... I won't go! I'll eat something else!"

"But these are all the meals we have. The remaining ingredients must be prepared immediately and taken to King Kang to add to the dishes..." Sun Zhizhao said in embarrassment.

"I just want to buy some sesame cakes and steamed buns to eat, no need for meals! I really don't want to go!" Caiyun pleaded.

Sun Zhizhao was entangled and said, "How can that be possible? The prince is not here, and I have to take good care of you... How can I just eat sesame cakes?"

"Then I'll eat with you? You should be a good eater, right?" Caiyun suggested.

"Well... okay, I'll call you later." A girl can't eat much anyway, and he usually eats well.

So in the banquet hall, King Kang saw a delicate and pretty child walked in calmly, followed by Sun Zhizhao, and behind them maids and servants carrying plates of delicacies.

Before Sun Zhizhao could speak, little Qin Hao bowed and introduced himself: "Hello, Uncle Kang Wang. I am the adopted son of Prince Duan's adoptive father last month. My name is Qin Hao, and I will be five years old next month. Can I have dinner with Uncle Kang Wang?"

Prince Kang looked at Sun Zhizhao with interest. Sun Zhizhao said with a distorted face, "The young master is indeed the adopted son of His Royal Highness Prince Duan. I haven't prepared... the young master's meal today. I hope Your Royal Highness Prince Kang will understand."

How could he not hear that this was a complaint against him for taking up the child's meal? King Kang smiled calmly and said, "Okay, sit down."

The staff, the steward and Sun Zhizhao all withdrew to eat and rest, leaving their respective attendants in the hall.

However, the ones who served Xiao Qinhao were Meihong and Zhuqing, who were dressed as ordinary maids, while the ones who served King Kang were two beauties dressed in brocade. Not to mention their attire, their appearances alone were worlds apart...

But there were only two people on the table, one big and one small, and there was nothing else to do. Apart from the occasional sound of dishes, it was as quiet as if one were in an ancient temple deep in the mountains.

King Kang raised his eyes slightly and saw the child sitting two seats below him. The child had lively eyes and eyebrows, which showed his intelligence. He was calm and not restrained, but not as noisy as most children of his age.

A child with this kind of temperament and upbringing, is he really from a peasant family? Could it be...

Both of them ate slowly and chewed their food. After King Kang put down his chopsticks, little Qin Hao also put down his chopsticks. He looked at King Kang with his black and white eyes and asked in a childish voice, "Uncle King Kang, have you studied the Four Books and Five Classics?"

King Kang was slightly stunned, then smiled and asked, "Why do you ask?"

"My adoptive father hasn't taught me to read for a long time, and Uncle Sun is busy and can't teach well... Does Uncle King Kang understand the Wei Ling chapter of the Analects of Confucius?" Little Qin Hao asked expectantly.

Sun Zhizhao was a top-three Jinshi in the same class as Chu Shiyu. Isn't that enough? King Kang lowered his eyes and asked calmly, "Do you want me to teach you?"

"Yes! Please Uncle Kang Wang teach me!" Little Qin Hao smiled happily.

"But I am here to take care of disaster relief affairs, and I don't have any free time." King Kang raised his eyes slightly and looked at the pair of bright big eyes with a cold gaze.

Little Qin Hao received the cold look and put away his smile, but he was not afraid. Instead, he thought for a few breaths and said, "Governing with virtue is like the North Star, which stays in its place and is surrounded by other stars. Uncle Kang Wang should have many people available. In addition, if you really want to provide disaster relief, Uncle Sun and others will also help you. They will not be idle at all."

Sun Zhizhao, who had just walked out of the hall, was sweating profusely. The young master was really bold!

What a saying! If King Kang still says he is busy, it means he has no moral integrity and has no useful people under him! And he directly asked if he really wanted to provide disaster relief! On the surface, it was respectful, but in fact it was all sarcasm!

"Humph, you don't look like Chu Shiyu's adopted son, but rather like his biological son." King Kang put away his usual gentle expression, and did not hide the coldness in his bones. Isn't Chu Shiyu such a person who takes advantage of others' misfortunes? This kid is even more fearless!

"My godfather is very similar to you. I see that Uncle King Kang also seems to be very resourceful. He should be much more knowledgeable than Mr. Sun. I just don't know how he compares to my godfather." Little Qin Hao will never let go of anyone who can learn from him!

Even the provocation method is used? Is it really possible to study like this? !

Why do you want to use him to drag down others? Sun Zhizhao was waiting at the door, determined to save the young master before King Kang got angry and stabbed him to death with a sword!
