a hundred times

In the second year of Qinghe, it is planned to be safe.

This year's winter has been extraordinarily long. The sun shines on the stone road in the early morning, and a thin layer of frost dazzles people's eyes.

The cold wind howled on the most famous Spring Breeze Ten Mile Long Street in the city.The weather is cold and the sun is freezing, but business still needs to be done. The hawkers on both sides of the long street have already set up their stalls early.There were a lot of people on the street today, but the number of customers was not higher than usual, because most of the visitors gathered in front of a big house at the end of the long street.

This house is exactly Zhou Mansion.

A table was set up in front of the Imperial Ci Panlong Double Spears at the door, and the aged housekeeper sat behind the table, glanced at the long queue behind him from time to time, twirled his beard, shook his head and sighed.

"Have you ever studied pharmacology? Next."

"I can't even tell the difference between these medicines, no."

"What's the use of kneeling on me? Let's go... It's poor, give him two steamed buns."

It is difficult to find a servant who has studied medicine these days.The old butler was sighing, and the person in front of him was replaced by a tall and long-legged young man.

This person was really tall, the housekeeper could only see the other person's neck at a glance, and couldn't help raising his head slightly, only then did he see that this person had a rather pleasing face.

Pleasant to the eye, indeed pleasing to the eye, he looks ordinary, but there is a hint of handsomeness, but this trace of handsomeness is just a touch of youthful vigor, smiling at you, it may not be very good-looking.Looking at it again, this vigor and vitality seems to be pleasing, which makes people feel good.

"Young man, are you literate? Do you understand medical skills?"

A shallow dimple appeared on the young man's cheek, which seemed more and more pleasing to the eye, and he replied with a clear and clear voice: "Understood, my father used to run a medical clinic in Changdu, and I have been in the medical clinic since I was a child." Helped with work, and went to a private school for a few years."

Changdu was the capital before the fall of the North.

The old steward himself is also from Changdu, when he met a fellow villager, he felt sad for a moment, he guessed that the child was not born badly, but his background was precarious, so now he can only come to Zhou Mansion as a handyman.He sighed, motioned to the servants behind, and brought up several medicines that had been ground into fine powder, "Son, come and identify."

"This is easy." The young man didn't even need to smell the smell, he just stood there and pointed out one by one: "Pudzu root, licorice, Poria cocos, astragalus."

His fingers are long and slender, his nails are trimmed very clean, and there are thin calluses on his finger pads, he must have done some work.

The housekeeper saw that he answered correctly. Although he was wearing a coarse cloth jacket, he was clean and well-groomed. Apart from being too tall, there was really nothing to criticize.After cross-examining a few more words, the young man's answer was exactly what he wanted, so he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go in, and follow along for two days, if your wife and master like you, you can stay in our mansion after signing the contract of sale." Done. By the way, what's your name?"

The young man smiled and said, "Luo Chen, thank you uncle first."

The old housekeeper smiled lovingly at him, and he felt that this young man was really pleasing to the eye.Next, he only needs to recruit two young men who do rough work. In winter, recruiting servants in the cold wind is not considered a good job.

Luo Chen followed a servant into the Zhou mansion through the side door.

The guide was obviously proud of being a servant of the Zhou family: "In these years, more and more people are hungry, and the weather is cold now. If you come to our house, this day will be safe. To be able to get enough food and clothing in troubled times is also a great fortune."

"Brother is right. I didn't expect that among so many people, Uncle Housekeeper would take a fancy to me."

"Isn't it because you have studied medicine? The boy's health is getting worse and worse recently. He takes medicine three times a day. He is afraid that one of us will not get it right and something will go wrong. That's why we are mobilizing people to find someone who will meet you." servant of medicine."

Luo Chenqi said: "Isn't it enough to hire two more doctors?"

The servant said: "In today's troubled times, the imperial court is still in the south. Doctors are even scarcer than generals! The master is kind-hearted, saying that one doctor in the house is enough, and there are countless people outside waiting for the doctor to hang a pot to help the world. There is a doctor at home." It's enough to take care of her, didn't I just find you?"

There seemed to be a bit of playfulness on Luo Chen's ordinary face, and he said in admiration, "Master is such a good man, no wonder he is famous all over the world!"

The servant raised his eyebrows triumphantly when he heard the words, and couldn't help being proud: "That's right!"

The owner of the Zhou Mansion is named Zhou Renfeng. Twenty years ago, people in the world were known as the No. 20 Kuai Dao, and Xiao Wangsheng, a mysterious swordsman who dominated the martial arts world with a ruthless sword, was also known as Sword Warrior.

However, when it comes to the surname Zhou, Zhou Renfeng's elder brother Zhou Suiyun is the most famous. Although he did not reverse the situation by himself three years ago, he also made great military exploits for the Dacheng Dynasty.Some people even said that without Zhou Suiyun, the Dacheng Dynasty would not even have the qualifications to negotiate peace talks with other races, and now half of the country can be preserved thanks to this First Marshal.

And in this troubled time, martial arts has also become a force that the imperial court is trying its best to win over. Those who have extraordinary martial arts and become holy, one person can lower a million soldiers.Zhou Renfeng was originally one of the most famous masters in the world, and his elder brother Zhuyu was in front of him. Under the impetus of the court, he became the newly appointed leader of the Wulin League last year.

It's no wonder that so many people are rushing to become servants of the Zhou family.

Luo Chen thought about it again, and that cute dimple appeared on his face again. His luck seemed to be really good.In order to keep this job, he may have to reveal his identity as the exile valley in the future.

The courtyard in the south is exquisitely built. Luo Chen followed the servant who led the way, through the willow-wooded vestibule, through the winding waterside promenade, around the garden, looking for the faint fragrance of medicine in the air, and came to a court. In front of the two-story building in the south.

"This is where the young master lives."

The servant explained a few words to a maid in the small building, and then left Luo Chen behind.

Xiaolou's maid is beautiful and soft-spoken, she smiled at Luo Chen, "You will be in charge of the young master's medication from now on, I worry all day long that I won't be able to get the medicine prescribed by the doctor, you really helped me a lot by coming here .”

Luo Chen pretended to be an idiot who had never seen the world, blushed, and patted his head in embarrassment.But he thought in his heart, this servant girl is pretty good, but unfortunately she is not beautiful enough, she is far from his standard of beauty.

At this time, there was only the sound of messy footsteps upstairs—a deep foot, a shallow foot, sometimes the center of gravity fell, and sometimes it was vacillating.

Well, I really don't have any martial arts.

When the servant girl heard the movement, she hurried up and said repeatedly: "Master, what do you want to take, just call me! How many times have I told you, the doctor told you not to get out of bed and walk around."

Luo Chen slowly went up to the second floor, and was a little surprised when he saw the eclectic layout of the building.

As soon as the stairs came up, there was a huge medicine room on the left. There were all kinds of medicinal materials in the cabinet, just like the medicine shops in the city. There was a small stove in the corner, which was burning, obviously used for brewing medicine. The right hand side is of course the young master's bedroom, but this bedroom is connected with the study room. There are more than a dozen bamboo shelves lined up with books, making the huge room look like a maze. You can't see where the bed is. There are no less than a thousand books, as if living in the library.

Then I heard the servant girl say: "Okay, "Qingmen Yin", right? Young master, sit down first, and I will find it for you."

Luo Chen snorted, raised his eyebrows slightly, took two steps forward, and calmly took a book from the top shelf—it was "Qing Men Yin".He opened the book in a calm manner, glanced at ten lines, and soon realized that it was a small book describing the scenery of the northern country.

He closed the book, walked through the bookshelves on both sides, and passed the little maid in the maze formed by the sea of ​​books.Luo Chen didn't forget to keep a dazed and slightly embarrassed expression on his face, and soon came to the young master's bed.

Young master Zhou sat on the bed, facing the window, letting the sun shine on him.His clothes are pure white, his profile is also pale, against the sunlight, it seems to be glowing.

Because of his birth, Luo Chen was poisoned by his elders before he was eight years old, and he only wore white clothes. Therefore, he was most disgusted when he saw white clothes and black hair in his life. When he saw Zhou Chuze for the first time, he felt very disapproving.

However, when Zhou Chuze turned around and his eyes fell on him, Luo Chen instantly overturned this idea.

Beauty is innocent.

Zhou Chuze is undoubtedly a beauty.

Although this person has been lingering on the sick bed all year round, his features are unusually clear.

Luo Chen lingered over Zhou Chuze's face with his eyes calmly, and saw his long eyebrows were straight, his eyes looked like lacquer spots, the tip of his nose was raised in a small arc, and his lips were bright but not bright red, thinking what scenery he was looking at Small note, I am clearly a painting, the handsomeness of the north and the beauty of the south are gathered together.

Luo Chen himself is a beauty lover, and it is easy to get dizzy when seeing beauties - fortunately, there are not many real beauties in this world.

When he was in a daze, he thought of what his master had told him before he went down the mountain, and he was very grateful—he was always willing to spare the life of a beauty. I also forgive this small shortcoming, and I am very reluctant to lose such a stunning beauty in the world.

Luo Chen stepped forward, smiled at Zhou Chuze, and handed over the book in his hand: "Master, do you want to read this book?"

Zhou Chuze took it, and raised his eyes to look at him suspiciously, his dark eyes were covered with a layer of water color, gentle and harmless: "You are?"

"I'm here to take care of you. I just entered the mansion today." He was very happy in his heart, but his face still maintained the previous honest expression, "My name is Luo Chen, young master."

Zhou Chuze's complexion was pale, and he reached out to take the book.

With lowered eyes, sideways face, and a slight smile, the etiquette and demeanor of the aristocratic family are restrained in the sick and weak body, and the voice is soft and clear as water: "Thank you."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little amused in his heart.Zhou Chuze, he silently recited the beauty's name in his heart.Well, in the next six months, it seems that I have received a good job.

The author has something to say: I originally wanted to insert a narrative + flashback to write about the previous events...but I found that there is no way...let me explain...
