When he stood at the gate of Chang'an City again, Zhang Xuezhou had already put on clothes with many patches.
Another young man, Wei, also wearing a set of old clothes, stood waiting at the gate of the city with a timid look on his face.
Their wait was not too long.
Nearly an hour later, Zhang Xuezhou saw the greeter striding towards him from a distance.
"Wei Qing?"
Zhang Xuezhou looked up and finally confirmed that he had recognized the right person.
Moreover, Wei Shaoer and Wei Qing both have the same surname, so the chance of him admitting his mistake is zero.
This was the groom who drove the prince's carriage back then. As the prince ascended the throne, Wei Qing's status obviously increased, and he even had a palace horse badge on his waist.
"younger brother!"
Wei Shao'er stretched out his hand to say hello, which made Wei Qing hand over the sign and quickly trotted out of the city.
"Second sister, why are you here?" Wei Qing asked in surprise: "Did the princess ask you to come to Chang'an City to work?"
"No, I just miss my brother in my heart, so I came here to Chang'an City to see how you are doing!"
Wei Shao'er touched his belly.
Madam Wudang's place is not suitable for long-term living, and the slums outside Chang'an City are extremely chaotic. Whenever her body collapses, Wei Shao'er is sure that some local snakes will attack her.
As for the princess's mansion mentioned by Wei Qing, that is a place she cannot go back to for the time being.
There was no one like Zhang Xuezhou who was good at treating her in the Princess Mansion. Before she induced labor or had a miscarriage, Wei Shaoer felt that following Zhang Xuezhou closely could save her life.
She held Wei Qing's hand and kept talking about her longing, which immediately made Wei Qing blush.
"who is he?"
After the siblings finished their heated chat, Wei Qing pointed at Zhang Xuezhou and asked Wei Shaoer in a low voice.
"The journey is difficult, he is the long-term worker I recruited to help," Wei Shao'er said.
"Then his work is done. Let's settle the salary to him and let him go back quickly." Wei Qing said: "Sister, how much should we give him?"
"He also wants to go to Chang'an City with me to see more. Can you take him in and have a look?" Wei Shao'er shook Wei Qing's arm and said coquettishly: "He helped me a lot along the way!"
"Now the whole city of Chang'an is under strict investigation... Okay, okay!"
Wei Qing looked at Zhang Xuezhou and felt that Zhang Xuezhou's face was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember Zhang Xuezhou.
For him who focused entirely on the former prince, even if Zhang Xuezhou was walking along the way, he could only glance at Zhang Xuezhou's face, and it was difficult for him to have many other thoughts.
Wei Qing finally opened a back door at the city gate guard.
Just like entering Yanmen Pass, as long as they are guaranteed by someone with status and status, there is no problem for them to enter Chang'an City if they lack the integrity.
"A Shuo, it's not as good as outside here. Don't cause trouble when you enter Chang'an City!"
Taking Wei Shao'er and Zhang Xuezhou into the city, Wei Qing couldn't help but give a few words of advice, which made Zhang Xuezhou nod repeatedly.
The group of people got on the carriage, and Zhang Xuezhou poked his head out of the carriage from time to time, while Wei Shaoer kept pointing, asking Wei Qing to drive to the guest house where Zhang Xuezhou was staying.
"Second sister, we have some money now and can stay in some good hotels!"
"Save some money and buy a house first. If you don't have enough money, the second sister still has some expenses!"
"The housing prices in the Imperial City are a bit high. I don't want to buy a house anymore. I just want to squeeze in with others!"
"How much does a house over there cost?"
"The cheaper one is about 300 guan, and the more expensive one is 500 guan. No matter how good the house is, it is beyond my official position to buy!"
On the carriage, Wei Qing couldn't help but complain about the high housing prices in Chang'an City.
Real estate close to the imperial city is not cheap, and Wei Qing has no idea at this price.
But he works between the Imperial Palace and Princess Yang's Mansion. If he goes out to buy a house to live, he can't live too far away, otherwise he will be fined at least, and may lose his head at worst.
This made Wei Qing extremely embarrassed to buy a house. He couldn't afford the expensive one, and it was useless to buy the cheap one. In the end, he had to live in a servant's room in the old residence of Princess Pingyang.
The servant's room shared by a group of men was obviously not suitable for Young Master Wei to squeeze into and live in.
Wei Qing had no choice but to find a guesthouse for Wei Shaoer first.
When Zhang Xuezhou stepped off the carriage and returned to the guest house, Wei Shao'er followed him in and directly booked a stay at the guest house for ten days.
"Uncle Dongfang, you are finally back!"
In the guest house, Zhang Xuezhou was full of customers as usual. Many young generals took advantage of their free time to come in and queue up, and some of them watched the fun.
The guest house was extremely lively, but seeing such a group of Northern Army soldiers in the guest house, people who wanted to stay there would undoubtedly stay away.
The shop owner's business has been a bit slow these past two days.
At this time, he was looking forward to Zhang Xuezhou sending these Northern Army generals away as soon as possible. He didn't even ask why Zhang Xuezhou didn't open the door and then walked in from the door, and he didn't have any idea in his mind to report it again.
"Uncle Dongfang?"
Wei Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing something was wrong, and Wei Shaoer squeezed his brother's hand, forcing Wei Qing to put his doubts away.
"Oriental miracle doctor!"
The shop owner's words caused many generals to turn their heads, and then someone opened his mouth to identify him.
"Hello everyone, in order not to disturb anyone, I broke the window and went out to collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so that I can have enough mana in my body to heal you all." Zhang Xuezhou cupped his fists and cupped his hands and said, "I will go back to the room to change my clothes first, and then I will come down to help you get rid of your old illnesses. !”
"Oriental miracle doctor, can you treat two more people today?" a general asked hopefully.
"As long as your injuries are not serious, let alone two, even three or four will be fine!"
After getting rid of the bad luck in his body, Zhang Xuezhou is undoubtedly less conservative.
But he was not too greedy and wanted to treat dozens of people a day. He just mentioned that he would heal everyone as long as he had the ability.
He clasped his fists and hurried upstairs. When he opened the door of the wing and saw Rong Tianding who was also squatting behind the door and peeking at the situation downstairs, Zhang Xuezhou felt relieved.
And seeing Zhang Xuezhou return safely, Rong Tianding also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not in a hurry to ask, but closed the door very naturally.
"Is he really your long-time employee?"
Sitting in the corner of the guest house, Wei Qing ordered a plate of beef and half a chicken. He ate slowly with Wei Shao'er and asked in a low voice.
"I would like him to do long-term work for me, but I'm afraid I can't afford the price." Wei Shao'er said helplessly: "He knows how to cure diseases, and the second sister still expects him to keep this little thing in my belly!"
"You're pregnant, whose child is it?" Wei Qing asked anxiously.
"Are you afraid that Second Sister will suffer a loss?" Wei Shao'er said with a smile: "Anyone who can match Second Sister is at least one of the best among men, and won't be any worse!"
"Oh, don't believe what a man says," Wei Qing said, "I have seen many high-ranking officials and noble men in Chang'an City. They talked sweetly before going to bed, but immediately turned against each other after getting out of bed!"
"You still see this kind of thing?" Wei Shaoer asked curiously.
"I finish my official duties every day, and I also drive cars for some noble people to earn some money. I do these things a lot," Wei Qing said, "Second sister, you must not be deceived!"
"He is a gentleman and will not lie to me!"
Wei Shao'er shook his head and touched his belly again.
Compared with worrying about the child's father, Wei Shao'er is more worried about whether the child, who has suffered from frequent hemorrhages, will survive normally, including her own safety.
