Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

Zhang Jiebin's performance was as expected by Wang Minghe. He was a man of both civil and martial arts, so why not read the "Preface to the Lanting Collection"?

"In the ninth year of Yonghe, when I was in Guichou, at the beginning of late spring, I gathered at the Orchid Pavilion in Shanyin, Kuaiji, to repair the evil spirits!" The opening chapter points out, thus making the two counties of Shanyin in Kuaiji famous throughout the world.

Wang Minghe naturally knew it, but he didn't expect that he would meet a Shanyin man. Normally, it would be no problem, but a quarter of an hour ago, the Shanyin man in front of him had deliberately teased him, and it seemed that he was deliberately introducing himself as his family now.< /p>

Seeing that Zhang Jiebin was really surprised and doubtful, Wang Minghe said sincerely: "I am not just teasing you. I am really from Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture. Shanyang is where Huai'an Prefecture is governed. I dare not deceive you."

Only then did Zhang Jiebin understand and explained: "I'm ashamed, I'm just trying to be a villain in vain. Only then did I know that Brother Wang is actually a benevolent person from ancient times."

Wang Minghe stopped talking, and then Shen Yourong walked out. The two looked at each other for a long time, and said at the same time:

"Little brother, is he born in a general?"

"Brother, are you from the military?"

Zhang Jiebin laughed loudly when he saw this: "You two are interesting, both of you are destined to be my junior brother."

Wang Minghe remained silent while Shen Yourong smiled bitterly. This little senior brother always likes to take advantage of his words.

"Brother Wang, you are mistaken. Junior Brother Shen comes from a martial arts family, not a general." Zhang Jiebin explained to Wang Minghe, and then asked: "You came so late and you are not very old. You are not like a prison student. He should be a martial arts student. I wonder when the Jingwei Martial Arts School started recruiting students in Huai'an? It should be from the Nanjing Martial Arts School! Could it be that your father is on duty in the capital?"

Wang Minghe nodded in approval and did not explain. Instead, he asked: "You and I are similar in age, why do you think you are older and I am younger?"

"If you become my disciple, you are not my junior brother, so what age does it matter? Even if my parents become my disciple, you are still my younger brother and sister." Zhang Jiebin was very proud.

Shen Yourong smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother, this is just like this. Just get used to it."

Wang Minghe was thoughtful, while Zhang Jiebin grabbed one person with one hand, took their arms and walked away, urging: "Stop talking, let's go buy the latest goods and celebrate the Lantern Festival."

Seeing the hesitation on Wang Minghe's face, Shen Yourong also said: "Master He values ​​​​the most ability and does not pay attention to etiquette. I will go there and come back later to introduce you."

Wang Minghe then followed, and the three of them were talking and laughing as they headed towards East Chang'an Street.

Outside Dong'an Gate, temple fairs and lantern festivals were held together, and the inner market of the imperial city inside Dong'an Gate was also open to the common people. Dignitaries and dignitaries gathered together again, and the excitement here was even more lively than Qipan Street.

The three of them were walking on East Chang'an Street. The streets and alleys were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and they were full of joy. As they were walking, someone suddenly shouted: "Brother Zhang, come this way, we are all here."

Zhang Jiebin looked over after hearing this and saw a few people standing at the entrance of an alley. He waved to them fiercely. It was Wang Xima, a boy with musical instruments, and a boy named Chen.

When the six people gathered together, Zhang Jiebin asked curiously: "Wang Feima, how did you meet him?"

Although the three of them are all in Dongcheng, the two named Chen are in the Deng Deng Hutong, and Wang Xima is in the Wangfu Street, separated by more than a dozen alleys.

"Hey, I met you while visiting the lantern festival, so I met the three of you again, eh? I haven't seen this brother before." Wang Xima said, looking at Wang Minghe with some doubts.

"This is your brother, named Minghe." Zhang Jiebin introduced him, and then introduced three people to Wang Minghe: "This is Wang Minghe, you two were a family five hundred years ago. This one's name is Liu Yaowen, The name is not worthy of the name. I have to change my name to Yaowu when I return. This is the young owner of the musical instrument shop, Le Ping'an. Remember, his surname is Le, not Le."

"We all know each other, maybe we will all be brothers in the same school in the future. And I am your senior brother Zhang Jiebin, this is your second senior brother Shen Yourong, and as for the third senior brother, I think it is probably this Wang Minghe." Zhang Jiebin began. Rank everyone.

"It's easy to talk. Just now, Xiao Lezheng and I invited Wang Weima to go to Fetch Deng Hutong to watch the lantern show. Can the three senior brothers go together?" Liu Yaowen invited. His lantern shop has decorated the entire alley. This year At the busiest time, I can’t wait to invite all my brothers to watch it together.

Wang Weima also said: "Don't underestimate the Liu family's lantern festival. The lights in the lantern alley are unique in the capital. In the past, tens of thousands of households used to take lanterns there. I heard that in the past few days, tens of thousands of households have become more and more popular." People might perform a show of lights flying into the sky!"

"Don't talk nonsense, they are just some jugglers, not descendants of ten thousand families." Liu Yaowen quickly explained.

Leping Ping'an interrupted: "The Lantern Festival is adjacent to the Big Buddha Temple Festival, and it's extremely lively. You won't regret going there. Maybe you can meet other brothers!"

The six of them were talking and laughing like this, as if they were going to Lantern Alley or the Great Buddhist Temple. They started to talk about their fellow apprentices, but only Zhang Jiebin and Shen Yourong were the real disciples. The imperial city kowtows, and the friendship has already been kowtowed, and we have already begun to make friends in private as fellow disciples.

The Lantern Festival is mainly about lights, but it is not limited to lights. Other sideshows and new gadgets are also sold along the street.

While walking on the road, Zhang Jiebin shared his thoughts with everyone. Everyone left and changed their minds, as if the lights were no longer attractive.

"Mulan Ci" says: Buy horses in the east market, saddles and shackles in the west market, bridles in the south market, and long whips in the north market. There is another proverb in the capital: The east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is humble. Tonight we might as well buy from the four cities , and by the way, let’s testify whether it is really what the proverb says.” Seeing that everyone was interested, Zhang Jiebin suggested.

Leping applauded and said with a smile: "Interesting, interesting. The lantern festival will last for ten days. There is no need to rush. Let's prepare the New Year's gift for the master first."

Zhang Jiebin stretched out his hand and said in a bachelor's manner: "Brother, I only have these seven cents in my hand. Otherwise, I would have done it all by myself. There would be no chance for you to show your face. When the time comes to show off, please take out the money!"

Shen Yourong took out the one tael of silver his uncle gave him on New Year's Day and said, "This is my New Year's money this year. It's all here."

"Can't you tell, the second junior brother's family is so rich?" Zhang Jiebin said with envy. In fact, he had a lot of new year's money this year, a full two hundred yuan. It has only been ten days, and there is only seven yuan left.

Shen Yourong looked away and ignored it. This was a little trick he had figured out, and it was just right for dealing with Zhang Jiebin. It had been tried many times these days.

Wang Xima paid out thirty-seven cents, Le Pingan paid out seventy-two cents, Liu Yaowen paid out three cents and twenty-six cents, and even Wang Minghe took out two cents and ten cents.

Zhang Jiebin screamed again: "It's incredible, it's incredible, all of you are richer than my senior brother. I have to go home and ask for money."

"We didn't ask my family for it, this is my lucky money." Le Ping'an showed off.

"Yes, it's not a good man to ask your family for money." Wang Weima emphasized.

Although Liu Yaowen didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear. You, senior fellow apprentice, are really unimpressive and only have seven yuan of lucky money.

"Okay, okay, if I don't let you see me, you will think that my senior brother is a gangster. Today I will let you know what my ability is."

Zhang Jiebin was originally a man who wanted to be strong, but when he was provoked by a few people, he became ruthless. He studied and enlightened with Zhou Zhou, and he knew a thing or two about Xiangshu, Xingwei, Kanyu, Lulu, etc. He took out his own seven coins. , gave the rest of his brain to Shen Yourong, and said to Shen and Wang:

"Senior brother, I have entrusted you and me with the great responsibility of my sect. Let's go to the five cities to purchase. The Imperial City is open today, so don't miss it in the inner city."

Shen Yourong and Wang Minghe looked at each other in shock. Neither of them expected that this so-called senior fellow disciple could be so unreliable. Is a child's play house worthy of competing here? Of course, Wang Minghe automatically ignored that he was only fifteen years old at this time. Facts.

After the two left, Zhang Jiebin's whole aura changed. If he put on a beard, put on a Taoist robe, and held a fly whisk, he would have some of the immortal spirit of Xuzi.

He led the three of them straight along Chaoyangmen Street, exited Chaoyangmen, and headed towards Dongyue Temple.

Dongyue Temple is the largest Taoist temple in the north. Although the Daolu Si Yamen, which is in charge of Taoist affairs all over the world, is in Chaotian Palace, Chaotian Palace is in Xicheng and is not as close as Dongyue Temple. As for other Taoist temples that are closer, they are not worth showing off, and they are not worth showing off. You have to go to Dongyue Temple.

When you come to Chaoyangmenwai Street, you will see the mountain gate of Dongyue Temple. It is the temple fair at this time, especially the birthday of Zhang Daoling on the 15th day of the first lunar month. In order to congratulate Zhengyi Zhenjunzu Celestial Master, various Taoist temples are preparing for large-scale fasting and festival activities.

Zhang Jiebin came to a stall and said loudly: "Uncles and gentlemen, Zhang Jiebin learned xiangshu from his teacher in Xiashanyin, and can tell people's misfortunes and blessings. The Lantern Festival is approaching, and everyone wants to have a safe holiday. You might as well let me watch How about taking a look and asking for good luck?"

"What can a young boy like you see?" someone in the crowd asked.

"If you're not sure, don't charge me. If you're sure, just give me a penny." After saying that, he weighed the seven copper coins in his hand and said, "Look, I just saw ten people in the Great Buddha Temple, and I got seven penny.

Do you think this is accurate or not?"

"Hey, who knows whether what your little guy said is true or false?" someone questioned.

"You'll know if it's true or false once you try it. Can anyone give it a try?" Zhang Jiebin said.

"I'll come!" A young Taoist priest stepped forward.

Zhang Jiebin smiled, enthusiastically stepped forward and grabbed the Taoist priest's hands, and said pleasant words, making the Taoist smile and spit.

After saying the compliment, Zhang Jiebin got the information he wanted and began to count the numbers seriously.

A series of difficult and obscure words slowly came out, and finally he concluded: "This hexagram is evil, and it has the opportunity to change the big into the small. This little Taoist priest, you may be in trouble. If there is a big evil, you will be in jail, and there will be a small evil.

Tao rules and punishments. Turning bad luck into good luck is only a matter of my words."

The little Taoist priest was very happy to be praised by Zhang Jiebin. He was so happy for the first time since he started preparing for the Zhaijiao. Who would have thought that this little guy would fall out of favor at any time, and even cursed him to be jailed, which is simply unreasonable.

Seeing that something was not going well, Zhang Jiebin quickly took a preemptive strike and raised his voice: "You may not believe me, but please listen to me."
