People in the capital came and went, bustling, very lively. This year is the year of the Dabi, and it is still early summer, but there are many scholars on the main road. They carry books on their backs, bring book boys, and come to the capital from all directions.

Not only the prefectures and counties below, but also the capital has set up examination rooms. These scholars are here to prepare to participate in the autumn.

The shopkeeper casually kept accounts on the counter, raised his eyelids and looked outside, and five or six scholars came in, all of them were travel-stained, leading horses with luggage and books on their backs, just like other students who went to Beijing to rush for the exam .

Because of the rush in the summer, people and horses are exhausted. The waiter in his own shop stepped forward to entertain the guests with a smile.

A waiter hurried over with the menu, "The guest officer ordered another eight-treasure duck."

Eight Treasure Duck is the signature dish in the store, and it is also the most expensive. My darling, who is the owner here? He specially ordered the most expensive dish in the store. Not only that, but he also ordered braised beef sauce and big bones before. hard dishes.

The shopkeeper figured it out, as if something was expensive, the guest officer just ordered it.

It seems that the one who came is a master who is not short of money.

Looking at these scholars, it would be better to entertain his distinguished guests. The shopkeeper was overjoyed, put down the ledger in his hand, and straightened his skirt and cuffs.

"I'll do it." He said to Xiao Er, he took the dishes from Xiao Er and went out in person.

The scholars who had just entered the door also noticed the guest in the hall. He was wearing a toga with large sleeves, a golden hairpin inlaid with jade on his head, and a jade pendant of white jade that made everything wishful. dress up.

The table in front of him was full of dishes, and he ate alone, and he didn't need anyone to serve him.

The scholar disdainful and smiled contemptuously. These rich kids always pretend to be arrogant wherever they go.

"Guest officer, here comes the dish you ordered." The shopkeeper smiled and brought the eight-treasure duck to the table.

The guest officer nodded, without saying a word to signal him to put it on the table.

Scholars glanced at this side and found seats to sit down one after another. Many of them were wealthy and powerful, and they also paid a lot of money when they went out this time. Like this kid from a rich family, he would lose his fortune with one meal.

Although he was not convinced, he ordered two dishes from the servant and gave up.

"Your Highness, those scholars are all looking at us." A small servant said in a low voice.

"Just look at it, these bumpkins from the countryside." The third emperor tore a duck leg with his hands and put it in his mouth to chew.

Anyway, there are not many days left, what to eat and what to drink, life is the right way to enjoy life in time, this is the truth he realized recently.Su Yong didn't say how his condition was, and he didn't ask. He knew from her expression that the situation was not optimistic.

Thinking of this, San Huangsun is still envious of the scholars in the hall. If he is in good health, will he be like these scholars, and his family will place high hopes on him? Take the road of shadow sealing.

But after a while, the group of scholars stopped staring at him, but were attracted by the new topic.

"There's nothing new in the capital recently, and life like this is dull." A businessman sighed.

Scholars shook their heads and chuckled when they heard this, these businessmen who can't stand loneliness.

"It's not that there are new things, there is one thing." One of them hesitated to speak, deliberately whetting everyone's appetite.

The other guests asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that the grandson of the third emperor is seriously ill, and he is arresting people everywhere to see a doctor." The man said.

About the royal family, storytellers in teahouses often make up stories that people in the streets and alleys like to listen to.

The businessman laughed, "The illness of the third emperor's grandson is not a matter of a day or two. It must be that he is dying of illness, so he rushes to the doctor in a hurry."

The bold and the timid were starved to death. The businessman dared to say anything. The shopkeeper stood at the back of the hall and listened for a while. He couldn't hear these words, so he went back to look at his account book.

Is the third prince dying soon?The other people sitting in the hall didn't have so many scruples like the shopkeeper, so they gathered around one after another.

Someone slapped their heads and remembered, "A few days ago, Second Miss Su was invited into the palace to treat the third emperor's grandson."

Who is Second Miss Su? Why hasn't she come to the capital for half a year? The capital seems to have changed.

The scholars don't know Miss Su Er, they are gentle, they just listen in and don't express their opinions.

Second Miss Su, the third grandson knew each other. When the third grandson heard about it, he tore a piece of duck skin with his teeth.

The two servants were on the verge of crying. The third emperor's grandson usually didn't go out of the palace very much. Today, he went outside the palace to inquire. What was rumored outside?

"No wonder, I haven't seen anyone go to Miss Su Er for medicine these days." A guest suddenly realized.

The businessman figured it out, "This Second Miss Su runs a medical clinic and sells medicine."

"You're only half right. She doesn't sell medicine, but gives medicine." The guest said.

The words of donating medicine caused the other guests in the hall to become silent. Donating medicine is free of charge. It is free medicine. If such a good person is caught in the palace, it may be more or less auspicious.

There were also a few people who stopped talking and seemed to be concentrating on drinking with their heads down.

It was the businessman who spoke first and broke the silence, "Did any of you see Second Miss Su come out of the palace?"

Everyone shook their heads and said nothing.

The group of scholars also thought of something, how did Hua Tuo die, and was murdered by Cao Cao because of seeing a doctor for Cao Cao. I don't know if the second Miss Su walked out of the palace that day.

Say it, why don't these people say it anymore, the third grandson bit the duck leg and bit his own finger, and yelled out.

Everyone turned their heads to look at him one after another. This kid from a rich family eats in such a way that he is not afraid that his family will be eaten up one day.

Seeing the dishes being served, the scholars, who had been silent all this time, urged their companions, "Let's eat quickly, and we can go to the store after eating."

Being discussed by so many people face to face, the third emperor's grandson was not angry. He ate and drank enough in the restaurant, and he was not in a hurry to return to the palace, but wandered outside.

"Why hasn't Your Highness come back?" Li Xia looked up at the sky anxiously.

She was anxious not because the third emperor's grandson hadn't returned for a day, but because Mr. Huo came.

Mr. Huo would not come to the palace of the third emperor's grandson for no reason, it must be the emperor's intention.

"Send someone to look for it quickly." Li Xia whispered to the people below to do this.

The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive, Su Yue glanced at Mr. Huo standing under the eaves over there.

Huo Sanye is terrible even if he doesn't reprimand others, it's no wonder that Li Xia's court ladies panicked when they saw him.

Seeing that the third emperor's grandson was not in the hall, Mr. Huo turned around to leave, but when he passed by Su Yue, he stopped.

"How is His Highness the Third Emperor's grandson?" he asked.

The emperor must have sent him to inquire, and Su Yue didn't intend to hide it, it would be of no benefit to her, "The situation is not very good."

Mr. Huo said oh, as if he understood and felt melancholy.
