Chapter 91 Layout

  Under the old willow tree in the west of the city, a chessboard was set up as usual. The elderly people sitting there looked quite dignified. Some were playing together, some were watching, and others were waiting for someone to break through their stalemate.

  If you think that the people waiting like this are deceiving, then you're wrong. As long as they live in the capital city, these people are all familiar to them. Moreover, those who have news and information also know that there are many elderly people from rich and noble families here, as well as retired old officials. However, knowing is useless if one's chess skills are not exceptional; it's of no use here.

  Just as one of the older men, dressed in slightly more subdued attire, was growing impatient and wanted to put away the chessboard and birdcage to leave, a young man with a handsome appearance had already stood before the chessboard, seemingly frowning in thought.

  "Are you interested in this chess game?" The old man stopped his cleaning motion, looked at the other person and said: "If you can break through this chess game, I'll invite you to sit down for a drink at the wine house across the street."

  The young master smiled: "I can actually solve this chess situation, but I'm afraid I don't have the time to let the old man invite me to sit in the wine tower."

  "Oh? Why?" The old employee asked with some curiosity.

  "My brother was injured and took medicine, but then contracted a cold and fell into a coma. The doctor said there's nothing we can do but wait for fate to take its course. I've been asking around everywhere and finally heard that there's a divine doctor in the capital who can cure this illness, but I haven't been able to find him yet. That's why I'm staying here." The young master paused slightly: "Once the servant returns from inquiring at the wine shop, I'll be leaving."

  The old man outside was somewhat skeptical: "Young people, if you can't solve the chess situation, then you can't, why make such excuses, I won't say anything."

  The young master frowned: "If I untie it, what would you say, old sir?"

  "If you can solve this chess situation, I'll help you find the name you're looking for. When the time comes, you tell me the name of that famous doctor, and I'll send someone to help you find him in this capital city. I believe there's no famous doctor that I couldn't find." The old official spoke with great confidence.

  The young master's gaze swept over a certain corner under the old poplar tree, where two even younger masters were standing. One of them saw him looking over and nodded slightly at him.

  "If the old gentleman has said so, I'd better not pretend to be coy." The young nobleman squatted down and solved the chess puzzle in just a few steps, leaving the old official staring at him with his eyes wide open.

  The young master finished the chess game and stood up: "If you feel embarrassed, Mr. Old Man, you don't have to help me find a doctor. After all, I've already turned over every pharmacy in the capital city. Even the big and small wine shops have been asked, but they still can't find this person."

  The old servant overheard the young master's words and became somewhat curious: "I've never spoken without counting. First, tell me what doctor you're looking for?"

  "I'm looking for a doctor with the surname Liu and the single character name Rong." The young gentleman said casually.

  The old man outside was slightly stunned, as if thinking where he had heard this name before, but couldn't remember: "Don't worry, come here tomorrow at this time and wait for me, I'll definitely help you find that doctor."

  "Then I'll thank you first, sir." The young master said. The little servant also ran out of the wine building and told the young master that he still couldn't find it.

  The young master couldn't help but feel a little down, but still thanked the old employee and confirmed the agreed time. He nodded at the two gentlemen not far away before turning around and leaving.

  The young gentleman under the old poplar tree had a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.

  "Miss, is this useful?" Another young master couldn't help but speak up, revealing a woman's voice: "News has come from Yongcheng County that Zhang Xue's residence has sent someone to Wending Hou's residence. It's likely about the matter of Big Sister's marriage!"

  "According to the news from Xuan's side, this young master values his reputation the most, so he is also the most trustworthy. Once he promises something, he will definitely do it. First, let him not find the doctor who can cure the disease for two days, and then let someone reveal to him the information about the young master's doctor." It turned out that these two people were actually Liu Rong and Dong Er in men's clothing.

  "Miss, where did you find such a famous doctor for this gentleman? We don't even know what kind of doctor has this name!" Dong Er said, suddenly stunned. As if thinking of something: "Miss, you won't just appear yourself at the time and say you're that doctor, will you? But... Miss, although your medical skills are good, no one has heard that you've treated such a disease before, and no one knows you, what if people notice something unusual?"

  "Besides, if we do it this way, won't Zhang Xueshi directly notice something is off? By then, not only will the matter of breaking off the engagement not be resolved, but it might even make Zhang Xueshi more determined to break off the engagement!" Dong'er couldn't help but cry with a sad face: "Miss, you can't do this! If we don't succeed this time, Liu Dainai will find ways to deal with you, and your future days will be troubled!"

  "Alright, alright, don't be so impatient. I haven't said what I'm going to do yet, and you're already making wild guesses. Besides, when have I ever had a problem with my plans? You'll know in due time, just wait patiently, as long as nothing unexpected happens, everything will be fine."

  It turned out that the old man playing chess was actually Zhang Xueshi from the Zhang Xueshi's residence.

  The next day, the young master with extraordinary chess skills came at the appointed time and asked about the doctor's affairs when he saw Zhang Xueshi. However, Zhang Yuanwai had a worried face. The young master said that if he couldn't find him, it would be fine, but Zhang Xueshi couldn't bear to lose face, so he stopped the young master and asked him to give him one more day to find the doctor.

  This went on for two days, but it was enough to make Zhang Xue-shi frown and look worried.

  It's not that funny to run into colleagues on the road early in the morning, and there are also inquiries from colleagues, but it just so happens that no one knows. If you say that the young master is fabricating this person, he is getting more and more anxious day by day.

  That morning, however, I ran into Zuo Tingxuan.

  "Zhang Xueshi, I heard you've been searching for a divine doctor named Liu Rong?" Zuo Tingxuan asked, seemingly nonchalant.

  "It's true, does Lord Zuo have any news? I've been searching for this doctor for two days and it's driving me crazy. I've searched the entire capital city, but no one seems to know of such a famous doctor." Zhang Xueshi looked worried.

  "You've really asked the right person! Not only do I know a divine doctor named Liu Rong, but I also know that there's a guard in the palace who was cured by this very same Liu Rong. It's said that Liu Rong's medical skills are so impressive that even Old Liu from the border regions can't help but give him a thumbs up!" At this point, Zuo Tingxuan paused slightly: "Zhang Scholar, would you like to meet him?"
