I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 580 Prosperity
At the beginning of the unitary era, the city of Shuzhou.

Shuzhou City, the capital of the Great Shu Kingdom.

Although Dashu has established a dynasty, the name of the city has not been changed, and the city is still named after "Shuzhou".

As the largest city in the fourteen prefectures under the rule of the Great Shu, there are no less than ten million people living in the city of Shuzhou, which is comparable to the capital of Daning and Fengyuan City.

But in terms of prosperity, Shuzhou City, which has not been affected by the flames of war in the past two years, naturally ranks first among the three.

In other words, Shuzhou City is currently the most prosperous place in Fengning and Ningxia.

The ancient city of Qianqiu reflects the history of thousands of years.

There is no doubt that such a city carries a lot of things.

There are swords and ambitions of young knights; there are pens and colorful articles of literati.

There are "adults" who go in and out of the court to rule the world; there are ordinary "little people" who work hard on the farm.

There are wanderers who travel all over the world; there are returnees who return to their nests with tired birds.

Mountains and waters for a tryst with a sweetheart; blood and wine for a brotherly alliance.

There is joy, hilarity, freedom and light;

Of course there is misery, there is regret, there is deceit, there is darkness
Everything in the world seems to be found in this city.

It bears all destiny and all those who are willing or unwilling to accept the arrangement of fate.

And this moment.

When tens of thousands of flying lanterns rise in the wind, it looks like a galaxy hanging upside down; when thousands of people flood the streets, laughing and crowded in the streets and alleys full of red lanterns; Ninety-nine lanterns, hundreds of court officials and guests greeted each other, and the city seemed to only carry one thing.

That was the last prosperity of Fengning and Ning for nearly a thousand years.

"."

"Su Sheng!"

"Su Sheng, I offer you a toast!!"

Weiyang Palace, in front of the Hall of Harmony.

The huge square was already full of people, tens of thousands of lamps lit up every corner, and there were crowds of court ladies coming and going, holding endless wine and delicacies in their hands.

Although the Ministry of Etiquette arranged a separate dining table for each guest as usual, many people had already left their seats at this moment.

They walked around with wine jugs, looking at various temporary wonders and wonders, and stopping to chat with acquaintances they met with a smile.

If the conversation is happy, the two will hold the jug to drink together. The jugs collide and make a crisp sound, which is drowned by the unstoppable palace music in the distance.

Court officials in official uniforms, slightly drunk guests, accompanying family members, court ladies busy among the crowd
At this moment, everyone's faces were full of smiles, and the laughter mixed with the smell of wine went straight to the sky, and then returned to the world in the dancing posture of the dancing girl.

Such a scene is not so much a state banquet, but rather a "Blissful Ceremony", which only makes everyone temporarily forget all their troubles, and immerse themselves in this extremely festive and lively night, unable to extricate themselves.

"Su Sheng!"

"In this situation, you might as well write a song!"

Surrounded by more than a dozen people, they toasted in turn. Su Wu, who had never practiced, was already a little overwhelmed, as if he was half drunk.

He wobbled while supporting the huge dragon head made of gold pieces beside him, and raised the flagon to take a big sip.

All sounds seemed to become ethereal at this moment, only Su Wu's intermittent voice resounded with the flourishing age.

"My ears are full of music and my eyes are full of songs, and my house is full of pearls and emeralds, which is better than Wu Wa."

"Because I know that the fairy cave on the sea is just like a wealthy family in the world."

"Xihuhu gathers in the red candle market at night, and the dance clothes are sunny and the blue sky is shining."

"However, after the banquet, Qing'e will be scattered, and the moon is half-slanted in front of Weiyang Palace."

"."

As soon as the eight sentences came out, Su Wu raised his head and poured all the wine in the pot into his mouth.

And the people around who heard this poem suddenly widened their eyes and their faces turned red.

They recited the eight lines of the poem repeatedly in shortness of breath, and turned their heads to look around, only to feel that the already prosperous scene with nothing to add had been taken to a new level by this poem.

"Nice poem!!"

"What a poem!!!"

"I'll drink a pot with Su Sheng! May my Dashu be like this night forever!"

"Drink! Drink!!"

"."

"boom!"

As countless people raised their glasses high at the same time, a firework bloomed just above Weiyang Palace, like a huge peony.

The palace lanterns are bright at night and the flowers are in full bloom. Let's drink a cup of prosperity together.

Chengjianfu, Fucheng.

When Shuzhou City was completely immersed in a celebration like a heavenly palace, Chengjian City, which already belonged to the Great Shu, seemed a little deserted.

Of course, today is New Year's Eve, and there is still some New Year's atmosphere in the city.

But Cheng Jiancheng had just experienced the baptism of war before, so both the yamen and the common people are quite struggling, and everyone can at most have a reunion dinner at home to pass the year.

It's just that compared to the deserted streets, Jishitang is a bit lively at this time.

"Girl, you must accept this food and drink!"

"Miraculous doctor He has no children and grandchildren, and celebrates the New Year alone every year. Before that, we would bring him some meals!"

"That's right! Fortunately, there is a girl here this year, and Miracle Doctor He has a companion!"

"Girl, take it! We don't have much skills, so this is all we can do."

"."

Looking at the common people who did not know which wave came to deliver food in front of him, Li Wutong suddenly had a feeling that he had never felt before.

Although she has only been in Jishitang for less than half a month, she is far from qualified to see a doctor and prescribe medicine, and she only does some chores on weekdays.

But these people respect her very much, as if as long as she works in Jishitang, that is the living Bodhisattva in the world.

"Okay, I'll take the food."

"I thank all the folks on behalf of the teacher"

Accept the food and send away this wave of enthusiastic people.

Li Wutong stood at the door and looked out, feeling that there should be no one coming, so he closed the main door, leaving only a small door in case someone came to seek medical attention due to sudden illness.

After doing all this, she returned to the backyard with the food and drink just now, and sat opposite the gray-haired old man again.

Today is New Year's Eve, and all the other employees of Jishitang have gone home to reunite with their families, only she and the old man who has no relatives are still here.

Judging from the food on the table, the two had already eaten for a while and drank some wine.

"Teacher, please drink less."

Taking off the veil, Li Wutong poured another glass of wine for the old man.

The latter raised his glass and drank half of it, and said with a smile: "Princess, this old man only drinks one meal a year, so let me drink it."

"teacher"

Li Wutong's eyes suddenly became dim, and he lowered his head slightly: "I told you, I am no longer a princess."

"Uh"

The old man was stunned suddenly, as if he felt a little guilty: "Well, the old man forgot about it."

"."

The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became silent. Looking at Li Wutong who bowed his head silently, the old man was silent for a while before asking:

"Miss Li, are you really not planning to go to Jianchang Mansion?"

"Since Mr. Wei has allowed the emperor to restore Dafeng there, then you"

"Teacher, I'm not going to Jianchang."

Li Wutong raised his head suddenly, interrupted with tears in his eyes: "I don't deserve to go back."

"."

"Oh, there are so many unworthy things in this world."

After drinking the remaining half glass of wine in one gulp, the old man sighed to himself and asked again:

"Then will you look for Mr. Wei in the future?"

"I"

Li Wutong bit his lip and shook his head in pain.

"Teacher, I want to find him."

"But, but I know I shouldn't go"

"."

He didn't persuade Li Wutong anything, the old man just poured her a glass of wine silently.

"Miss Li, this old man has practiced medicine all his life. He has saved many people, but he has not been able to save many people."

"Everyone in this world knows that life, old age, sickness and death are the laws of heaven."

"But do you know that there is a kind of person who is immune to all diseases?"

Having said that, the old man paused, and glanced at Li Wutong who was a little dazed.

"It's dead."

"In this world, only the dead will not get sick, but he is already dead, so what's the point of being immune to all diseases?"

"Miss Li, I wonder if you understand what I mean?"

"."

In the moonlight, Li Wutong's body trembled slightly, and he was silent for a long time.

Seeing this, the old man didn't say anything more, he just left a few last words, and then he pushed the door out with the jug in hand.

"If you can't figure it out, then stay in Jishitang to treat illnesses and save lives."

"And if one day you want to understand"

"Then go find him."
