Uncle from a poor family

Chapter 489 Meeting a bosom friend in high mountains and flowing water

The chief minister of the cabinet, Wan'an, came to Zhang's house in person to visit Zhang Luan.

This was the first time that the highest civil official personally visited Zhang's residence after Xu Pu came to visit on behalf of the Imperial Library and the Hanlin Academy a few days ago.

Perhaps Wan'an was worried about Xu Pu and felt that there were many things he could only express to Zhang Luan in person. In addition, he had been thinking about something and was unable to make a decision, so he simply came to listen to Zhang Luan's "opinion".

Of course, there are some things he won't say explicitly.

Instead, he planned to attack indirectly.

"Laizhan, congratulations, this mansion has produced the Golden Phoenix of the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be the supreme glory... I said that when I first came to your mansion, I felt that there was purple air coming from the east, and there were dragons and tigers leaping here, which was indescribably precious! I think the next Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty will also come from our Queen, and your future will be limitless..."

Zhang Luan frowned after listening to this.

He thought to himself, when you first came to my house, you were representing the royal family and came to propose marriage on behalf of the prince. At that time, my daughter was already the crown princess.

Do I need you to talk about the glory of our family?
Are you being smart after the event or just being wise after the event?

Besides, what about my future? Do I need an old man like you to take care of it?
Because the youngest son had prepared him psychologically and said in front of the emperor that he wanted to replace Wan'an, in Zhang Luan's eyes, the guy in front of him was about to get into trouble, so he did not think much of the leader of the scholars in front of him.

But out of consideration, Zhang Luan still asked Wan'an to sit down, and he forced himself to sit up, leaning on a cane, and sat down at the table next to him to talk to Wan'an.

Zhang Luan asked, "Why is Lord Wan in the mood to come here? It's so filthy here, I haven't taken a bath in several days... Oh, it's all my fault that I got hurt so easily."

"Ah... then Lai Zhan, how long do you have to recover from your injury?"

Wan An asked with a concerned look on his face.

"Well...it will take at least two or three months. Isn't it said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone? Maybe it won't take that long, but it will still take a month or two."

Zhang Luan said, "I'm also afraid of any sequelae."

"Sequelae?"

Wan'an was not used to the way Zhang Luan spoke, and his face was full of confusion.

Zhang Luan explained: "It's the aftermath... This disease is very easy to be incurable. If the pain comes back on cloudy and rainy days in the future, it will be bad."

Wan An was greatly amazed, and even praised and envied him: "Let's say this is the best doctor of the dynasty, he is really extraordinary. When others get sick or injured, they have to beg for help, fearing that they will be cheated by the doctor, but with you... you can cure yourself, and you even know your own condition very well. You can even think so carefully about how to maintain health and prevent future troubles. I admire you, I admire you!"

Zhang Luan felt very embarrassed after hearing the praise, and thought to himself, why do I feel like you have bad intentions when you suddenly praise me so much?
But this flattery sounds quite pleasant to the ears!

"No, no, isn't there a saying? A doctor cannot heal himself. I guess I am one of the latter." Zhang Luan said modestly.

"Haha."

Wan An smiled and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. If you can't heal yourself, I'm afraid no one in the world can cure you! Oh, I said it unconsciously... Since we are talking about health preservation, I have some health preservation methods here, which is just right for us to discuss with you."

"what!?"

When Zhang Luan heard this, he was like, Wow, you come here to learn health preservation from me?

The time and place are not right!

Oh, I remember now, my son seemed to have said that the health-preserving method studied by Wan'an seems to be very different from that of ordinary people, and he likes...hiss.

Wan'an, as if he was very familiar with the place, took out a copy of a book that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Zhang Luan. However, Zhang Luan was frowning, as if he was worried about something, and he didn't show any intention of reaching out to take it.

"Come and take a look...?"

Wanan greeted warmly.

Zhang Luan looked evasive, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Lord Wan, look at my body, I don't even have time to recover from my injuries, how can I talk about keeping in good health? Isn't it... a little too early? You know me... I'm not very good at treating illnesses, let alone keeping in good health..."

"Eh? Why are you suddenly being so self-deprecating?"

Wan'an's eyes revealed great enthusiasm. Obviously, the more Zhang Luan refused, the more he felt that Zhang Luan had real ability.

Because judging from the performance of the people he usually comes into contact with, each of them tries every means to prove their strength in front of him, but Zhang Luan does the opposite. The more he talks bad about himself, the more unfathomable he seems to Wan'an.

After all, Zhang Luan has already proved with "practical actions" that his medical skills are indeed unparalleled in the world.

Otherwise, how could he, as the father-in-law of the Crown Princess, go to treat the late emperor and even gain the late emperor's trust and respect when he was dying? You don't understand?

Ha ha.

Sorry, I don’t believe it!
But Zhang Luan really didn’t understand.

After Wan'an's encouragement, he finally picked up the book.

You won’t know until you see it. Once you see it, your eyes will be wide open.

"What are you...?"

Zhang Luan swallowed his saliva.

Shouted in my heart.

An expert.

How can this be called a way to maintain good health? It is simply the most amazing guide to keeping in the bedroom!

If I didn't have a thick skin, I would have closed my eyes in shame just reading the above paragraph. If I put it in Xingji, if some young wife saw that I had such a book in my private collection, wouldn't she report me to the government?

But...why is it so beautiful?

Wan An saw that Zhang Luan was shocked but happy, so he couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Laizhan, what do you think? Can you give me some advice?"

"I... Hey."

Zhang Luan couldn't wait to ask Wan'an to let him make a copy for his own research in the future.

After all, this thing cannot be found on the market, and there is no way to find it.

Although the ethics and morals of the Ming Dynasty were not so strict that they could not be controlled, when it came to the humanities of the market, especially matters in the bedroom, they would be absolutely silent!
The Chinese have been like this since ancient times and are ashamed to mention matters of ethics in front of others.

Wan An smiled and said, "Can you give me some pointers? I would also like to hear your opinions and make some improvements."

"How about... let's just forget about it?"

The ice and snow on Zhang Luan's face melted away, and he no longer had that cold and indifferent look that kept people at a distance. His relationship with Wan An also became much closer. He no longer viewed the other as an insignificant stranger, but as a "close friend."

It felt like... meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

No one else.

Zhang Luan said with a smile: "I never thought that Elder Wan's research in this area is really so advanced and eye-opening. But... if this kind of health-preserving technique is shown to others, will people find it... too embarrassing?"

Wan An said: "Laizhan, this is your fault. Although we are scholars and are bound by the teachings of ritual and music, the major issue of human relations is related to the continuation of the family line and the continuation of the incense. Is this really such a difficult thing to talk about? For me, as long as it is really useful, I can bring it up...

"It's like when I talked about this with my classmates and colleagues at a dinner table before. At first, they all felt uncomfortable, but later it became different. When I talked about it again, many people echoed me and even discussed it with me in depth. I would record it and organize it well... Look, isn't it compiled into a book now?"

Zhang Luan thought to himself, “Oh shit.”

Your book is a collection of the experiences of all the powerful and corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty in picking up girls. It is a complete guide to the bedroom. It can be said that everyone's efforts have been gathered to compile such a profound book. If I don't copy it down for my own use, I will be sorry to know you.

He quickly read it carefully.

He was also afraid that Wan'an would ask for it back immediately, so he tried to memorize as many sentences as he could while he had them in front of him. The more he read, the more shocked he was.

Is this really possible?

It turns out that it can’t be like that…

original……

Various original.

It’s like an epiphany!

Others think that listening to your words is worth ten years of reading, but for me, reading your booklet is like suddenly understanding something that I could not figure out in several lifetimes! ?
A mountain stream meets a soulmate!
