Fortunately, the man knew who he was looking for because his accent was Mandarin, and he enthusiastically showed him the way.

Dongshi took out a pack of pine nut candies as a thank you gift. The man thanked him repeatedly, took out a few pieces of candies, and coaxed a cowherd boy to lead them the way.

The mountains and rivers here are beautiful and the scenery is pleasant, but it is a poor place with wooden houses, wooden fences, little land and few people.

Zhu Shenzhi lived in a two-story wooden building with a larger courtyard, which was considered respectable. The sound of reading came from the first floor of the wooden building.

The little shepherd boy said hello outside the fence, and a middle-aged man wearing blue trousers and a short shirt walked out. He was stunned when he saw Dongming Ziyu's wide robe and big sleeves.

Dongshi gave the little shepherd boy a pack of pork jerky. The little shepherd boy thanked him happily and ran away jumping up and down.

Zhu Shenzhi had already walked over, looked at the newcomers hesitantly, and asked in Mandarin: "Who are you?"

Dongming Ziyu saluted and said: "I am blessed to be in the lower east. I passed by here on my way to Shiniu County, Dianzhou Prefecture to take office. My father-in-law asked me to come down to visit you."

Zhu Shenzhi's eyes lit up and he asked: "Are you the same Dong Youfu who won six yuan in a row last year?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "I'm ashamed, it's me."

Zhu Shenzhi opened the fence door and said, "Please come in quickly."

Dongming Ziyu and others entered the door and walked towards the wooden building.

Zhu Shenzhi led the way at the front door and asked, "I wonder who the father-in-law of Dong Zhuangyuan is?"

At least he had reached the fourth rank, and he had some respect with the county magistrate. He could read the Di newspaper and knew that Dong Youfu had won six yuan in a row, but he didn't know about the twists and turns in the capital.

Dongming Ziyu said: "My father-in-law is the imperial physician Shangguan Lin."

Zhu Shenzhi was surprised, "Sir Shangguan only has two daughters. One daughter was married to the Marquis of Nan'an, and the younger daughter was lost. Could it be that he gave birth to another daughter after I left the capital?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "Zhuo Jing is the lost little daughter."

Zhu Shenzhi was even more surprised, "It's great to have it back!"

Several people talked, entered the living room, and sat down separately for the guests of honor.

Dongming Ziyu presented a letter and a gift list, "My father-in-law brought this to you, sir. I would like to ask you to help me for a few years."

Zhu Shenzhi suddenly understood, took the letter and gift list, and said: "But I have sworn that I will never be involved in officialdom again in this life."

Dongming Ziyu said: "I won't let you get involved in official affairs. I don't understand the local language. I just ask you to translate it into Mandarin when necessary."

Zhu Shenzhi lowered his head to read the letter, but his expression was unwilling. After reading the letter, he wondered why: "Shangguan Imperial Doctor saved my life, and Dong Zhuangyuan's request does not violate my wishes. Logically speaking, I should repay you, but,

It's difficult for me to travel far because I'm seriously ill, and I can't leave at this time either. The journey is long, and if I'm not careful, we will be separated forever."

When Wulang heard this, he smiled and said, "My great-grandfather is here with me. He is known as a miracle doctor."

Dongming Ziyu explained: "This is Quanzi, and the person he is talking about is a Shangguan or a doctor."

Zhu Shenzhi's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Then, I would be disrespectful to refuse."

Dongming Ziyu smiled, "Then please take care of me from now on."

After the matter was settled, a few people wanted to take Zhu Shenzhi and his wife back to the dock. They had to pack their things and arrange time at home.

Shangguan Ruoli purchased some supplies at the dock based on the information sent by Shuan Zhu.

"Hey, this beauty." Following a lewd voice, a folding fan stretched out to pick Shangguan Ruoli's chin.

Shangguan Ruoli ducked aside and looked over with sharp eyes, only to see a short, fat man looking at her with a leering look, followed by six or seven thugs.

Two guards stepped forward, blocked Shangguan Ruoli and Ling Yue, and scolded them coldly: "Get out!"

The short and fat man glared at me and said arrogantly in poor Mandarin: "Do you know who I am? I am the son of the magistrate of Dianzhou! Who dares to go against me on the territory of Dianzhou?"

Shangguan Ruoli narrowed his eyes. The emperor also said that the Zhizhou of Dianzhou belongs to him. If you have anything to do, you can go to him. Looking at his son's virtue, the Zhizhou may not be able to maintain his original intention. Is it possible that Dongming Ziyu wants to fight alone here?
