Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 915 Hard to Choose
"My Lord, there is new progress regarding the identity of Dr. Zhao."

Xun Yue, who was reading a military book, raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it."

"My lord, Doctor Zhao looks extremely similar to the missing Zhao Wenwen." The spy dressed as an ordinary servant of the throne took out a portrait from his lapel and presented it to Xun Yue.

Xun Yue suddenly looked up, put down the military book, took the portrait and unfolded it. He saw a woman in light yellow clothes lifting the veil on her face with one hand. Her expression was indifferent, but her eyes were like stars.

"Zhao Wenwen!" Xun Yue stared at the portrait, surprise, astonishment, and anger flashed in his eyes, but he finally calmed down. After a while, a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.

"My lord, Doctor Zhao and Zhao Wenwen look extremely similar. Perhaps, they are twins. With this clue, we can start with Madam Zhao. I believe that soon, we will be able to find out the identity of Doctor Zhao." The spy said confidently.

Xun Yue waved his hand, "No need to check, she is Zhao Wenwen."

The spy was stunned when he heard this, "My Lord, Dr. Zhao's medical skills are genuine. Zhao Wenwen doesn't know any medical skills."

Xun Yue smiled and said, "I understand. Call back the spies that were sent out. Also, Zhao Wenwen, uh, place more people around Divine Doctor Zhao. But be careful and don't let them be discovered."

"Yes!" The spy was puzzled, but he had long been accustomed to obeying his master's orders.

"Well, go down and ask someone to go to the He Mansion to invite Wen Bo, and ask him to make time to come to the mansion today." Xun Yue said.

"Yes!"

Xun Yue lowered his head and glanced at the portrait again, "Divine Doctor Zhao? I wonder who he is?" He threw the portrait aside, walked to the corridor with his hands behind his back, looked at the flourishing flowers and plants in the courtyard, and curled his lips, "Interesting, I really can't wait to meet you?"

"I hope you're not too surprised." Xun Yu smiled, but he could hardly ignore the uneasiness in his heart. Why did he and He Wenbai try their best to save Zhao Wenwen's life? It was because they didn't want to repeat their lives again.

But who would have thought that Zhao Wenwen had just left the cell, before they could secretly hide her, she was assassinated by Prime Minister Zhao, and fell into the water and disappeared.

They had been searching for nearly a year, but they didn't expect the person to come to them...

Xun Yu lowered his eyelids, hiding the darkness in his heart.

"Ah-"

"Master, how about I make you a bowl of ginger tea?" Chuncao looked at Shi Jia nervously. Master had been sneezing a lot recently, so he must have caught a cold.

Shi Jia rubbed his nose and felt a chill all over his body. "Well, go ahead, make more and send some to others. The weather has been getting colder recently."

Shi Jia walked to the window and was about to close it when he saw the thick clouds in the sky. "How much charcoal is left in the house? Looking at the weather, I guess it's going to snow soon."

"Master, don't worry, there is enough charcoal. Madam Ling sent two more trucks over two days ago." Chuncao said.

"Well, let's buy two more cars. We usually use them a lot." Shi Jia said, "I guess we will have to stay in Shangjing City until next summer."

"it is good."

As expected, five days later, Shangjing welcomed the first heavy snow of the year.

For farmers, snow means hope for a good harvest in the coming year. For literati and poets, snow is material for writing. After the first heavy snowfall, nobles in the capital city would send out invitations and hold snow-viewing banquets.

As the most popular person in front of the current emperor and a medical genius who can bring people back to health, Shi Jia naturally received a lot of posts.

However, Shi Jia was not interested in the nobles who came to Beijing, and she declined all the invitations on the grounds that she had to make medicine for the Emperor.

But with the three invitations in front of her, it was difficult for her to refuse.

"The Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince." Shi Jia pointed at the three invitations and thought to himself, wow, "Three candidates for emperor are invited at the same time, this is forcing me to take sides!" And they are holding their snow-viewing banquet on the same day!
She couldn't go to any of the families, but if she didn't go, she would offend all three of them at the same time. If they succeeded in getting promoted, she would have a hard time. "However, it seems that in the plot introduction, the one who got promoted in the end was An Yuanhou!" Shi Jia didn't have any memory of Zhao Wenwen. The plot introduction was just a summary.

"In that case, it doesn't matter which one we go to." Shi Jia immediately shook his head. It would be better not to make such an obvious signal of taking sides.

Shi Jia covered his head in distress.

"Master, the doorman just delivered another note." Chuncao walked in from outside the yard holding an umbrella.

"Whose post is this?" Shi Jia asked casually.

"It looks like Princess Ruihe's house." Chuncao put the umbrella by the door, shook off the snow on her body, and then walked into the house.

Shi Jia blinked, took the invitation and saw that it was indeed from Princess Ruihe. Then a bright smile spread across her face, "The invitation from the Princess is really timely."

Haha, a snow-viewing banquet was held on the same day.

"Chuncao, let's go and get ready. We're going to the Princess's Mansion for a banquet the day after tomorrow." Shi Jia stretched lazily, and the depression in his heart disappeared.

"Ah? That's great." Chuncao was stunned for a moment, then became happy. She actually wanted to go to the snow viewing banquet. She was from the south and had never seen snow since she was a child. She didn't know what the snow viewing banquets held by the nobles were like.

Hearing that Shi Jia was going to the eldest princess's snow-viewing banquet, Old Madam Ling specially brought the embroiderer to Shi Jia's yard.

"Madam, why are you here? If you have anything to say, just let the little girls tell me. Why bother you to come here in person?" Shi Jia was flattered.

The old lady is nearly sixty years old, and her body has many health problems due to the hard work in her youth. In such cold weather, she needs to take good care of herself.

Madam Ling waved her hand. "With your help in recuperation, I am now in very good health. Runian, please take the clothes to the judge to try on."

The clothes were a jacket and skirt and a thick fox fur cape. They were made according to Shi Jia's figure, and they fit her perfectly. They were also a simple and elegant apricot pink color, which made her red lips and fair face look even more stunning.

"Not bad!" Mrs. Ling was extremely satisfied with the situation. However, the more satisfied she was, the more regretful she felt. They looked the same, but why were their personalities completely different?

If that vicious woman had a bit of Zhao Jia's kindness, the Ling family would probably have already had many children and grandchildren and lived a happy life.

Shi Jia naturally did not miss the fleeting regret in Madam Ling's eyes, nor did he feel sorry for Madam Ling.

But someone like Zhao Wenwen will bring bad luck to anyone who meets her, whether it's the Ling family or the Li family, the Qian family or the Sun family.

So the Ling family can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Princess's Snow Viewing Banquet. Shi Jia and Chun Cao got up early in the morning and dressed themselves up. After breakfast, they took the gifts they had prepared long ago and took a carriage to the Princess's residence.

They were accompanied by Ling Dingfeng, who had been extremely busy in the past few months, having to go back to Jiangnan Prefecture to help Shi Jia manage the affairs of the common people's pharmacy, and also to raise food and grass for the Zhenxi Army.

He finally managed to return to Beijing before the New Year, but before he could get a good rest, his old mother asked him to come out to escort Shi Jia.

Yes, Madam Ling was worried that Shi Jia had been wronged in the Princess's Mansion, so she sent Ling Dingfeng to follow him.

Shi Jia looked at Ling Dingfeng, who was feeling hopeless, with amusement, and took out a first-grade pill, "Here, this is a blood-recovering pill, specially used to relieve fatigue and restore physical strength."

Ling Dingfeng's eyes lit up and he snatched the pill.

"Hey, are there any more? The more the better."

Shi Jia rolled her eyes and said, "That's a nice thought."
