Chapter 25 Chess Players

"Difficult!" Zhao Langzhong said with a sigh: "This disease was originally difficult to cure, but now it has been delayed for a long time. Even if it is delayed by medication, it will only take a year or two."

"I dare not say it in front of my face, go back, you persuade the girl, make preparations early!"

This preparation naturally refers to the funeral, Su Ziji felt a little uncomfortable, and nodded: "I see."

While speaking, he had already arrived at Ye's Bookstore, and suddenly looked at a farther intersection, and saw a tolerance pointing and talking, because he was far away, his face was not discernible, but he could still see it. Tan An, looking towards him at this time.

"hateful!"

Although he knew that Ye Weihan's illness had nothing to do with Tan An, it was the first time that Su Ziji was bored with this man, took a cold look at him, and led Zhao Langzhong into the bookstore, closing the door.

"Tan An, the inspection is over, it's time to go back and make a business trip." Seeing that Tan An was still staring at him, a fellow traveller, with disdain in his heart and a smile on his face, persuaded him, "Why, are you still thinking about the Ye family girl? I didn't say that, Miss Ye's family obviously has no intentions of you, why bother?"

"Besides, you're just the daughter of a dilapidated bookstore owner. You're a decent businessman now. Is there any girl in the neighborhood that you want, so why hang yourself on a tree like her?"

The ancestors of the Great Wei Dynasty restored the system of integrating officials and officials in the previous dynasty. Although the officials and officials in Dazheng were separated and their status declined, the officials were not considered "cheap servants", but belonged to a serious and promising profession.

Tan An belongs to his father's meritorious service. He squeezed into public office when he was young. He really envied killing others.

Tan An was not reconciled, and touched the iron ruler: "Just because she refuses, it doesn't mean she won't in the future. Just wait and see, I will definitely marry her!"

"Bah! I really don't know good people! He obviously has a crush on Tong Sheng, and maybe he will be a talented lady in the future, so why would he be willing to marry you?" The two separated at the intersection, looking at Tan An's back. Ann was a bit displeased, spat on the ground and sneered.

There are limited positions in the public office, and Tan An squeezed out one spot, and others will naturally be gone.

Not knowing that he has become someone else's talking point, Ye Buhui's whole heart is hanging now, and he is standing beside the bed with red eyes, watching Zhao Langzhong give Ye Weihan his pulse.

When Zhao Langzhong stood up, she immediately asked: "Uncle Zhao, how is my father's condition?"

"I'll prescribe a prescription, take it for a few days, and I'll look at it later." Zhao Langzhong sighed, not to speak too straightforwardly in front of the patient, so he said vaguely.

However, Ye Buhui has already realized a little bit about it. When he was outside, he saw that Zhao Langzhong had written a prescription. Su Ziji took the prescription to grab the medicine. Ye Buhui asked, "Uncle Zhao, tell me the truth. Is Dad's illness serious?"

"Mr. Ye's illness has been going on for some years, or he suffered from the cold in winter, and now it is a bit serious. It is unlikely to be cured completely. If he takes good medicine and pays attention to maintenance, it may not cause serious problems."

Zhao Langzhong only wanted Su Ziji to secretly hint to the little girl, but he didn't say anything.

Ye Buhui felt a little relieved, sniffed his nose, wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, I will trouble you more in the future."

"It's easy to say, don't worry about it, you have to take good care of this disease." Zhao Langzhong also had some pity for this young and strong girl, and his tone softened.

When Su Ziji came back, he saw Ye Buhui who had returned to normal and was talking with Ye Weihan.

"Su Ziji, I'm going to make medicine, you can talk to my father!" Seeing him come back, Ye Buhui stood up, took the medicine bag, and walked towards the kitchen.

Su Ziji was thoughtful, and recovered from Ye Weihan's coughing, hurried over and persuaded: "Uncle Ye, why are you up? Lie down quickly."

"Zi Ji, thanks to you today, you helped me with my work." Ye Buhui was coaxed, while Ye Weihan's face was calm, but with some gloom, he watched her go to stay up late, and said: "Doctor don't say, this I know the disease myself, and I think back then, before the house was raided, the old lady in the mansion also had the same disease, no matter how many doctors attended to her, they couldn’t cure it, it’s a fluke for me to be able to delay it all these years.”

Su Ziji was a little surprised when he heard about the ransacking of the house. Could it be that the Ye family was still an official?

But I didn't know where to ask, so I could only say: "Don't think about it, the doctor said, pay attention to maintenance, or it will be fine."

"As for my family's accident, I didn't even thank you for taking care of me like Buhui. Now it's just helping me to run errands. How can you say that?"

This is the truth. When Su's father had an accident, even some relatives were afraid to associate with the Su family, fearing that they would lose money if they posted it. However, the Ye family's father and daughter were not related to each other. They were just neighbors, but they often helped out. This kind of friendship has always been engraved in my heart.

Although the original Su Ziji was a fool, he was still himself after all, but he didn't realize that he had to bear what he should bear.

Hearing the sincerity in Su Ziji's words, Ye Weihan smiled, changed the subject, and talked about some light things. When Ye Buhui came over with the medicine, Ye Weihan said: "There is Buhui here to take care of me, you go back and review your homework." , the biennial government examination is more important to your future than that."

After estimating the time, seeing that it was late, and Ye Weihan's condition had stabilized, and there was nothing that needed help, Su Ziji got up: "Then I'll go first, if there is something to do, I will be at home or in the county. You can find me at the inn in front of you at any time."

"Okay, it's so long-winded!" Pushing Su Ziji out, seeing Su Ziji turned his head, still looking like he wanted to tell him, Ye Buhui stood at the door with his hands on his hips: "Didn't you say that you have an appointment with a classmate to study at night? Hurry up." Go, if you don't go, don't go, just stay!"

Su Ziji smiled wryly, naturally he couldn't agree, so he saw the little girl go straight into the bookstore, and slammed the door shut again.

"This girl is obviously worried that I will be late for the appointment and be misunderstood by my classmates, but this appearance is really..."

In modern times, such a character is arrogant, but unfortunately, in this world, this character is not liked by people. If you meet someone who is not human, you will suffer a lot.

"Forget it, I happen to have something to ask Yu Lv. I have to ask clearly about this matter of ghosts and gods."

"Forget it, as long as I have a day, just protect her!" Thinking this way, Su Ziji didn't go home, and went directly to the inn where Yu Lu was staying temporarily: "It is said that even Zhang Sheng has come, I don't know if there is any... If I didn’t bring any tips I haven’t read, I still have one or two articles to upgrade.”

The journey was not far, and I saw an inn with three facades facing the street. There were seven tables in the inn, with candles lit, and guests were sitting there, eating, drinking and discussing things.

When Su Ziji passed by, he heard something. It happened to be a chess match.

"I heard that this county's chess game is held on a boat, and there are more people than last time. I wonder if there will be a few masters?"

"Not necessarily. After all, it's just a chess game in Fucheng. Although there are talents who are good at this base, but more young people, how can it be compared to the gathering of masters in the capital?"

"Hey! That's the capital city after all. I've lived so long and I've never been there before. To be able to participate in a chess game in Fucheng, the chess skills are very good. With chess skills like you and me, even if you are a scholar, you may not be able to participate."

Su Ziji listened with a smile, and when he looked up, he saw Yu Lu. Yu Lu was probably tired from reading, and he yawned from time to time after a stroll.

"Brother Yu, listen, do you want to take part in this chess test?"

Chess tournaments also have four levels: county, prefecture, province, and capital, and they are also arranged before the imperial examination, and ordinary people have to fight one by one to make their debut, but students can sign up directly, which is a preferential treatment for scholars, and there are many scholars who are good at this Dao, participated in one after another.

And Yu Lv also heard the words just now, and just smiled: "My chess skills are only ordinary, I just need to spend my time and cultivate my sentiments. Instead of participating in chess games and wasting effort, it is better to concentrate on studying."

"That makes sense." Su Ziji nodded again and again, specializing in one subject, and achieving something, for most people, it is already a success.

A girl like Ye Buhui cannot take part in the imperial examinations, and taking the path of a chess player, which can satisfy her hobbies and support herself at the same time, is the best path.
