The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

Even disciples like Xuan Mo and Jun Mo, who were very close to Cui Xiang, only knew that Cui Xiang came from an extraordinary background and had profound knowledge.

It must be some important official in the court.

Only those who have participated in the twists and turns of political intrigue can have the insight and calm temperament of Prime Minister Cui.

These kids don't know that the so-called party struggles are not that mysterious. On the contrary, they are sometimes even more shameless and vulgar, with no bottom line, than the fights between street scoundrels.

They haven't officially entered the court yet, and Master Cui doesn't want to tell them the cruel truth so early.

Although the political intrigues were sinister and the court was full of twists and turns, Master Cui had served as a local official and he knew better that the struggles among the common people were simpler, cruder and had no bottom line.

These children are so smart and insightful, but if they go to the court, they may have a hard time and suffer.

But if you stay among the people, you may not even have the chance to suffer.

The more upright a person is, the less he should stay in the lower class.

Because at the upper level, even if the means are despicable, at least there are traces to follow, certain rules and regulations, and certain laws, regulations and unspoken rules to abide by.

But people in the lower class may not care about any rules. They may ruin you simply because they don't like you or are jealous of you.

Taoyuan Valley.

There was a light snow that day, and the icefall became thicker. The north entered a truly severe winter.

The Spring Festival is coming soon.

The winter solstice is the coldest time in the north and also the coldest moment between heaven and earth.

But in this deepest yin, the yang begins again.

Early in the morning, Ren Pingsheng fell down from the top of the mountain.

He got up before dawn to practice martial arts. Jun Mo followed closely behind him and landed on a large rock at the entrance of the cave.

Master Cui was sitting at the entrance of the cave. He was afraid of the cold, so he wore a cloak. On the small table beside him, a small red clay stove was burning brightly.

A clay pot on the stove was buzzing happily and emitting steam.

Cui Da brought a square table from the cave and placed it on a pile of straw at the entrance of the cave.

Then he took out a few straw cushions and threw them randomly around the square table.

When Ren Pingsheng saw that there was tea to drink, he immediately went to sit down.

Master Cui shook his head and said, "Master Ren, although you are not afraid of the cold, you are still damp and cold, which is not good for your health..."

Before Master Cui finished speaking, Xu Pingjun came out from the inner room of the cave. She looked sleepy and lazy, and it seemed that she had just woken up.

When she heard what Master Cui said, she immediately became alert.

He walked up to Ren Pingsheng, grabbed his sleeve and dragged him into the cave.

As he walked, he turned around and said to Jun Mo, "You too, go back and wipe the sweat off your face and change into clean clothes.

If not, I will poison your food."

Well, it’s really simple and crude.

The brave hero Ren was carried away like a chick.

Jun Mo, who was unruly and didn't listen to anyone except Zhou Yue, also went back to his room obediently.

Master Cui shook his head and smiled.

It is true that every thing has its own strength. This Xu Pingjun, unlike those noble ladies, is just like Zhou Yue, in that she exudes a fierce vitality.

Xuan Mo took off her apron and walked over to say that dinner was ready.

Today's breakfast is very simple, with braised rabbit, cured wild boar meat stewed with dried cabbage and frozen tofu, stir-fried bean sprouts, and fermented bean curd with rose sauce.

The staple food is millet and red bean porridge, brown sugar steamed buns, and roasted sweet potatoes.

Master Cui likes sweet food the most, so there must be one or two sweet dishes in every meal.

The meal was not finished because Cui Da heard a pigeon whistle.

As he walked out of the cave, a white dove landed on his shoulder.

Others already knew that Cui Da raised homing pigeons, so they were no longer surprised by it.

In the past, when Cui Da received a letter, he would usually remain calm, exchange a glance with Master Cui, and not say another word.

This time, when Cui Da received the letter and took a look at it, his face changed drastically.

He walked over to Master Cui, who was spreading rose sauce and fermented bean curd on steamed buns, and whispered something.

Then he showed the note to Master Cui.

Mr. Cui's face also changed drastically. With a "pop", the steamed bun and spoon in his hand fell on the table.

Xuan Mo was scooping porridge for his teacher. Seeing this, he immediately put down what he was holding and looked at his mentor.

Jun Mo also changed his clothes and walked out of the inner cave, and saw this scene.

He was not good at speaking, and at this moment he looked at Master Cui with the same concern.

Master Cui calmed himself down and forced a smile on his face: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys continue eating. I have something to do and need to go back to Beijing."

After saying that, he stood up, but at the moment he stood up, his body swayed twice and he almost fell down.

Cui Da quickly supported him.

Ren Pingsheng was sitting closest to him, so he stood up and held his arm.

Master Cui's face had obviously turned much paler at this time. He smiled at Ren Pingsheng and wanted to thank him, but his lips were trembling and he couldn't form a sentence.

Ren Pingsheng was about to ask what had happened, but unexpectedly Master Cui broke free from the two men's support and held his head with his hands.

Judging from his expression, he is in extreme pain. Does he have a headache?

Xu Pingjun also came out. Seeing this, she had no time to ask any questions and hurried forward. She gently stroked Master Cui's back with one hand, took Master Cui's hand with the other hand, and pressed three fingers on the old man's wrist.

Everyone knew that Doctor Xu was taking the patient's pulse, so they all looked at her without daring to breathe.

Xu Pingjun sometimes frowned, sometimes relaxed, sometimes looked serious, and sometimes looked happy...

For a moment, no one knew whether Master Cui was okay or not.

Finally, Xu Pingjun let go of Master Cui's wrist.

Just when everyone thought they could finally hear what she had to say, she took up Master Cui's other hand.

Uh, it’s not over yet, right?

Waited for another quarter of an hour.

Finally, Xu Pingjun let go of Master Cui, helped him sit down, and then she sat down too.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Xu Pingjun smiled and said, "It's okay. At Mr. Cui's age, it's already very good to have such a good body."

"Then, my master, can we return to Beijing now?"

"Return to Beijing? Are you sure?"

"Sure." Cui Dazheng nodded.

Xu Pingjun looked at Master Cui, who had his eyes closed, but he heard what Doctor Xu said and nodded slightly.

“Well, it’s not impossible.

Well, I'll prescribe a prescription for you. When you arrive at the county, stay overnight, boil two doses of medicine, take one, and take the other with you.

I'll have another drink on the way. Fortunately, this place is not far from the capital, so I should be able to hold on and get back to the capital."

Uh, what you mean is that you can only hold on until you get to Beijing, and after you get to Beijing, you can't hold on anymore?

Cui Da's face looked even worse.

Ren Pingsheng had been in the martial arts world for many years and understood the ways of the world much better than Xu Pingjun. He knew that everyone had misunderstood Xu Pingjun's meaning.

He coughed lightly and explained, "Mr. Ping means that we should hold on until we get to the capital. There are good doctors and medicines in the capital, and Mr. Cui's health will be safe."

Several people breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but Cui Da was still not comforted.

Only he knew how much of a blow this incident was to the master.

The letter said, Madam, gone.
