Sheng Chong Jinghua: There is room for the legitimate daughter of the miracle doctor

Chapter 23 Fengdu Censor 2
In ancient times, filial piety was valued. Whenever one of the parents passed away, the official had to suspend his duties for three years and return home to observe filial piety. However, because Li was only Pei Jingxing's adoptive mother, he only needed Ding You for three months, but Pei Jingxing requested three months. Year.

At that time, he had already achieved both fame and fortune, standing on the top of a pyramid that no one could see, but he was willing to give up everything he had and return home to observe filial piety. Even Taifu Pei persuaded him to stay in the capital, but he did not. I just want to resign and go back to my hometown.

The emperor agreed to his return to his hometown, but did not allow him to give up his identity. Instead, he was asked to serve as the governor of Badong County and temporarily take charge of the Badong area.

At that time, Badong was still a desolate and remote place with rugged mountain roads. It was especially famous for horse bandits. The previous county governor died on the road to suppress the bandits, so the emperor also valued him when he asked him to be the governor of Badong. his abilities.

And Pei Jingxing did live up to his holy expectations. After he buried his adoptive mother, he immediately started to deal with the issue of Badong folk customs.

He established schools extensively in that place and even financed the education of poor children at his own expense.
After the second year, the entire Badong County government was harmonious and the officials and people were united, so the problem of horse bandits was naturally solved.

In order to commemorate his great achievements, the local people built a statue of him and erected it in the most eye-catching place in Badong. After doing all this, he was only in his weak years.

The emperor who was far away in the capital was full of praise for him after learning about his achievements, and said to the queen: "You have really found a good brother for yourself and a good helper for me!"

Although the queen said "where, where", she actually already had an idea in her heart.

As the only daughter of the Taifu, she could become the queen not only because of her friendship with the emperor since childhood, but also because of her father's power in the court.

But no matter how powerful the Taifu is, she will eventually grow old one day. Although she is now firmly in the position of queen, her child may not necessarily be made a prince, so for the sake of her child, she must have a reliable natal family. .

When she learned that her uncle's eldest son, who had been missing for many years, was abused by his stepmother, she asked her father to adopt him and raise him well, so that one day he could help her.

But no one expected that she would win this move.

The more the emperor values ​​Pei Jingxing, the greater Xiao Chengji's chances of winning.

Huo Jiuge gradually pieced this together based on the memory of the original owner.

Although she has not yet met Pei Jingxing, the "Censor of Fengdu" as everyone calls her, she has experienced the power of the Queen. I am afraid that compared with her, he should be even better.

While she was cooking the medicine, a soldier came to report that the new Mr. Pei wanted to see her and asked her to come quickly.

"What do you want Master Pei to do with me?" Huo Jiuge looked up and asked him while guarding the medicine stove.

"How can I guess Master Pei's thoughts?" the soldier answered her. Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, he urged: "Hurry up, don't keep your master waiting for a long time."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Huo Jiuge away.

Huo Jiuge couldn't dodge, so she could only let him pull her collar. When she reached the door, she held the door and window with both hands, tried her best to poke her head in, and then shouted to the people inside: "I'll be back as soon as I can, you guys?" Watch the fire for me and remember to add water."

Before she could finish her words, she was already taken away far away.

After almost reaching Lord Pei's office, the other party let go of Huo Jiuge, and then motioned her to tidy up her clothes so as not to offend Lord Pei with her disheveled clothes.

Huo Jiuge followed his instructions, straightened his clothes, and then cleared his throat to avoid being too nervous to speak.

After doing all this, she went to see the legendary Lord Pei.

As soon as she opened the door, the wind and snow were swept into the tent with her movements. Because there was enough charcoal fire inside, the snow fragments turned into water as soon as they hit the ground.

When the people inside saw her coming, they turned over the tea lid and let her in.Huo Jiuge said that he was covered in wind and snow and was afraid of getting his place dirty, so he just stood outside.

"Come in." Pei Jingxing said a second time.

Just as Huo Jiuge was about to speak, the other party replied to her: "You are standing too far away, so I can't hear what you said here."

Seeing that the other party didn't move, Pei Jingxing raised his eyes and asked, "Do you want me to come over?"

After saying this, of course Huo Jiuge didn't dare to refuse. He could only enter the house and close the door to prevent the heater from escaping.

After she finished all this, she glanced back at the hall and saw Pei Jingxing sitting there in silence. He was not as ruthless as everyone said, but it was also possible that she had not yet realized how powerful he was.
He was wearing ordinary clothes today, and his official rank could not be seen. He was like the lazy sun shining through the clouds in winter. Although the light was bright, it was not dazzling and gave people a very stable feeling.

As soon as Huo Jiuge sat down, the other party pushed him over a cup of tea. The tea in the cup was clear to the bottom and had a faint fragrance.

Huo Jiuge picked up the teacup, put it to his mouth and took a sip, his brows twitching.

"What kind of tea is this?" She spoke quickly and loudly.

Fortunately, she immediately realized her impoliteness and immediately calmed down.

"It's just ordinary Maojian. If you think it tastes good, I'll give some to you when you leave." Pei Jingxing watched all her actions and did not blame her for this rudeness.

Now the two of them are sitting opposite each other, with a tea table in between.

Last night, he was separated from the crowd, so Pei Jingxing didn't see her clearly. Now that he saw her, it was difficult to associate her with the figure from last night.

"How old are you this year?" Pei Jingxing asked.

This is the question Huo Jiuge has been asked the most since she pretended to be a man.

She had long been tired of having to answer this question every time she met someone, but the other person was Mr. Pei, known as the "Censor of Fengdu". She did not dare to show the slightest displeasure. Her task was not completed yet. But we can't let the chain slip at this time.

So she tried hard to suppress the urge to roll her eyes and respectfully replied: "The villain Shen He is from Jinling. He came to the capital to practice medicine with his master. He is 20 years old this year."

Hearing her tell her age, Pei Jingxing couldn't help but look her up and down. Looking at her thin figure, she didn't look like she was already 20 years old.

However, height and appearance are all inherited from parents, and everyone is different. There is no need to look down upon others after seeing their shortcomings.

So Pei Jingxing just said: "You have such medical skills at the age of 20. With time, your future will be boundless."

"Thank you for your praise, sir, but I'm scared!" Huo Jiuge said politely to him.

When it comes to having a bright future, who can compare to him? Pei Jingxing, who was admitted to the top prize at the age of 17.

Looking at the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty, the one who can be compared with him is Huo Jiuge's brother, Huo Chengqi.

Both are young geniuses, already famous at a young age.
