Chapter 118 Rescuing People on the Street
"Let's go down and take a look!" Ye Yaoyao's drowsiness vanished instantly.
A man lay in front of the carriage, his body filthy. His tattered book box rolled to the side as he fell, and his worn-out books were scattered all over the ground.
People passing by pointed and whispered among themselves.
"Help him up," Ye Yaoyao instructed the coachman.
"Yes, ma'am."
"Fuling, take out the silver needles from the carriage."
Ye Yaoyao took his pulse and found that he had fainted due to exhaustion and hunger.
"Miss, the silver needles have arrived."
Fu Ling rushed over, unwrapped the silver needles, and Ye Yaoyao took them one by one and inserted them into the acupoints on the man's head.
Someone in the crowd recognized Ye Yaoyao and exclaimed in surprise:
"This young lady is the fourth daughter of the Ye family. Look, she knows how to treat illnesses!"
"I just don't know if we can revive the person."
After dropping the last stick, he instructed the driver to help the man up and wait for him to wake up.
[Host, well done. This person is exceptionally talented, but his background is rather tragic.]
Only then did Ye Yaoyao have time to observe the scholar.
Although the books on the ground were worn out, you could still tell how much their owner cared for them.
The shoe had a large tear at the front, and the toes were faintly visible.
His gray-blue long gown was already tattered and patched, with loose threads showing at the hem.
The headscarf she wore had faded and hung crookedly on her head, with a few strands of messy hair falling from the side.
His face was also dirty, making it impossible to see his original appearance; his face was thin, and his cheekbones were high and prominent.
[This is what a poor scholar should look like! System, just how miserable is he?]
His name is Liu Tiansheng. He was abandoned as a child, but fortunately, he was picked up and raised by a kind person.
Even the person who adopted him was very poor, and the whole village was very poor, often going hungry.
He was a natural scholar, and was fortunate enough to have his talent discovered by a scholar.
At the scholar's urging, the entire village sent him to school.
"Surname Liu? That's not bad. You're destined to have a benefactor, and this time you've met me again."
[Host, you're right.]
Fu Ling picked up the book from the ground and looked at Ye Yaoyao.
"Miss, he's still unconscious. Should we take him to the clinic?"
"No need, he'll wake up soon. Go get some pastries and water."
[Host, you need to let him know that you saved him.]
What? What did you see this time?
[According to the original plan, the person who saved him was Princess Chang Le.]
Could Mu Ningyan be the kind of person who can save lives on the street?
They do occasionally show some kindness.
【makes sense. 】
After Mu Ningyan saved him, Liu Tiansheng was grateful and became an advisor in the princess's residence, planning many things for the mother and daughter.
[Now that I've run into them, that mother and daughter have no chance.]
Liu Tiansheng slowly woke up and saw that he was surrounded by people. He struggled to get up.
"Young man, don't move yet. My young lady saved you, but the silver needles on your head haven't been removed yet."
Liu Tiansheng looked up and saw a pretty young girl who spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Thank you... thank you for saving me, young lady."
Although the man was disheveled, his eyes still shone with a stubborn and defiant light.
Ye Yaoyao squatted down. "No need to be polite, I'll remove the silver needles for you."
Liu Tiansheng looked at Ye Yaoyao with gratitude, a hint of emotion in his eyes. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found his throat extremely dry.
Fu Ling came over with pastries and water. Ye Yaoyao finished putting away the silver needles, took the water, and handed it to Liu Tiansheng.
"You're starving, eat something first."
"Thank you!" Liu Tiansheng didn't hesitate and took the food, putting it into his mouth.
After he ate a few pastries and felt a little better, he struggled to get up and bowed to thank Ye Yaoyao.
Ye Yaoyao quickly stopped him: "Young master is still weak, there is no need for such formalities."
"May I ask your honorable surname, young lady? I, Liu Tiansheng, will surely repay you in the future."
"My name is Ye Yaoyao." She said, handing him two silver notes.
"Young master, are you here to take the imperial examination? Your health can't take it now, you need to rest well. Here are some silver notes for you."
Haha! You'll be even more grateful to me later.
Liu Tiansheng looked down and saw that there were two silver notes worth five hundred taels each.
"Miss Ye, I cannot accept this banknote."
"Young Master Liu, please don't refuse. There's still more than a month until the imperial examination. If you don't get well now, you won't perform well. Consider this my way of supporting you."
Ye Yaoyao stuffed the silver note into Liu Tiansheng's hand, but he pushed it away forcefully.
“These banknotes are too many; I can’t accept them.” Liu Tiansheng’s face was full of embarrassment.
"Don't worry, Young Master Liu. My family is wealthy. If you feel uneasy about taking it, just remember what happened today, and you can repay me later."
Liu Tiansheng bit his lip, his eyes filled with emotion, and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to her, saying:
“Miss Ye has already done me a great favor by saving me. I will remember it forever and repay her kindness many times over if I ever get ahead.”
Liu Tiansheng stubbornly declined Ye Yaoyao's offer.
"Sigh! Why are you so stubborn! Fine, fine, I'll write you a prescription. Hurry up and find an inn to stay in, then get the medicine and drink it!"
"Miss, the inn is full, there's no room available," Fu Ling reminded her from the side.
"Oh! Yes!"
Candidates need to arrive early to register. Not to mention inns, even private houses are rented out, let alone Liu Tiansheng, who has no money to rely on.
"It's alright, I'll just find a dilapidated temple to make do."
“No.” Fu Ling shook her head. “Young Master Liu, there are no dilapidated temples inside the imperial city; they are only outside the city.”
How could a dilapidated temple be allowed under the emperor's nose? Ye Yaoyao secretly gave Fu Ling a thumbs up.
“During every scientific expedition, the inn and even the woodshed are full of people.”
"This..." Liu Tiansheng was speechless for a moment, and a troubled look appeared on his face.
"Young Master Liu, how about this? I'll recommend a place to stay that would be perfect for you."
Before Liu Tiansheng could speak, Ye Yaoyao, fearing he would refuse again, quickly said:
"They need someone to dry medicinal herbs there, you'd be perfect for the job."
"Thank you very much, Miss Ye."
"You're welcome." Ye Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. "Fuling, take him to Grandpa Han's place."
“Yes, Miss.” Fu Ling glanced at the lucky Liu Tiansheng.
"Young Master Liu, please come with me."
"Thank you!"
Liu Tiansheng bowed deeply to Ye Yaoyao, then left with Fu Ling.
[Host, well done.]
Ye Yaoyao got into the carriage, and the system praised her.
Sigh! This person is really stubborn.
Upon returning home, Tingqin came to report:
"Miss, news has come from Chang'an Prefecture that Ye Yuanru was the one who ruined your reputation at the restaurant."
"Yes! Tell the constables in Chang'an Prefecture that this matter will be investigated again in a few days."
"Yes! Miss."
The Ye family recently delivered good results to Chang'an Prefecture, and they also gave them a lot of silver notes, so the officials and clerks of Chang'an Prefecture were happy to cooperate.
