Chapter 196
"Second brother is right, that's what I mean."

Fat Miao'er nodded again and again, wishing to raise both hands and feet in agreement.

"Second brother, I understand what you said."

Liu Ye'er raised her head, her eyes were empty, and she fell into deep thought.

After a while, she said slowly: "Second Brother, Third Brother, Fat Miaoer, I want to learn medicine."

"Study medicine? Be a doctor?"

Fat Miaoer and Compass exclaimed at the same time.

Even Wei Shu, who has always been calm, looked at Liu Ye'er in surprise.

The few people have lived together for so long, they have never heard of Liu Ye'er's preference in this regard.

"Ye'er, do you want to be a girl?"

Compass seemed to be in disbelief and confirmed again.

"Yes!"

Liu Ye'er's clear eyes gradually became firmer, she nodded solemnly, she wants to study medicine!

"This, this..."

Compass scratched his head in embarrassment.

It's not that women can't study medicine. There were female medical officers in the dynasty, and they treated the nobles in the palace.

It's just that there are too few women studying medicine, and it's hard to achieve success.

"If you want to learn, you can learn, and studying medicine is also very good."

Fat Miao'er thought of modern female doctors, all of them were amazing, not inferior to men at all.

"Sister, I support you."

Fat Miao'er raised her small fist, from initial shock to calmness, and now to encouragement, the entire mental journey was completed in just a few breaths.

"We can go to Grandpa Li to discuss it." Wei Shu immediately gave a suggestion.

Studying medicine is not something you can learn if you want to, you must be taught by someone. For them, Li Langzhong is the best candidate, but I don't know if he will agree.

"Okay, tomorrow I will take the gift and go to Li's house to pay a visit."

Liu Ye'er responded, lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, wondering what she was thinking.

She has a home here, and Fat Miao'er no longer insists, so she turns her head to the compass.

"Third brother, what about you, do you want to go to school?"

"I don't want to either." Compass shook his head like a rattle.

With a forced smile, he said, "Fat Miao'er, I'm really not made for studying."

It can be seen from his literacy in winter that he is at most a little better than Li Xiaodao.

"I see."

Fat Miao'er pursed her lips, never concealing Luo Pan's ambition, his goal has always been clear, doing business to make a lot of money is the way he will go in the future.

Compared with literacy, he prefers abacus and arithmetic, which are all preparations for doing business in the future.

Luo Pan rolled his eyes: "Tomorrow, Ye'er and I will go to Li's house together. She is looking for Grandpa Li, and I am looking for Uncle Li."

Compass grinned, and he still had a long way to go to become a qualified big businessman. He was tactful in handling things, dealing with people, and intrigue in the business field. These were all things he would learn.

"Ok."

Fat Miao'er's raised shoulders slumped, everyone has no fixed path, only the one that suits them is the best.

Now that the two of them had a goal, Fat Miao'er naturally turned his attention to Wei Shu.

"Second brother, you won't also..." Fat Miao'er hesitated.

"I do not know."

Wei Shu shook his head decisively.

"I want to study, I want to go to school, I want to take the imperial examination."

This goal has always been buried in his heart and has never changed.

"Okay, great!"

"Second brother, let's go to the academy to learn from teachers tomorrow."

Fat Miao'er jumped up happily, finally someone went to school with her, it's great!

……

The next day.

Fat Miao'er, Wei Shu, Luo Pan, and Liu Ye'er acted separately. Luo Pan and Liu Ye'er went to Li's house with two jars of wine, while Fat Miao'er and Wei Shu went to Honghu Academy with gifts.

According to the rules of this dynasty, six kinds of gifts should be prepared when appreciating a teacher, namely celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and dried lean meat strips.

Celery symbolizes hard work and studious, lotus seeds symbolize painstaking education, red beans symbolize good luck, red dates symbolize early high school, longan symbolizes consummation of merit and virtue, and dry lean meat strips symbolize disciples’ hearts.

Spring has just started, and celery can't be bought, so the two of them can only prepare five kinds, and then replace them with leeks, implying long-term gathering of talents.

Outside Honghu Academy, Fat Miao'er adjusted her clothes, raised her head and chest, raised her scholar's shelf, followed Wei Shu and walked in through the gate, along the corridor to a room at the corner.

"Wei Shu met Mr. Hong."

Bending down, Wei Shu made a salute.

Fat Miao'er followed suit, raised both hands slightly, clenched his right hand into a fist and left into a palm, wrapped his palm around the fist and pressed down, and said softly, "Fat Miao'er has seen Mr. Hong. "

"Okay, okay, please get up quickly, no need to be polite."

Mr. Hong stretched out his hand to help, and looked at Wei Shu approvingly.

His real name is Hong Xuezhi, he was a Juren in the ninth year of Yongjia, and he was named Luosunshan in the examination, so he ran the academy here.

"Are you here this time to learn from a teacher?"

Hong Xuezhi's eyes touched the gifts in Wei Shu and Fat Miao'er's hands, so he asked this question.

"Yes, sir."

Wei Shu nodded. Before that, he had been cleaning Honghu Academy. Hong Xuezhi turned a blind eye to the things he stole, and sometimes he would deliberately help.

Regarding this matter, the two knew it well, but no one made it clear.

"Students beg sir to take students as apprentices."

Wei Shu regarded himself as a student while speaking, and bowed to Hong Xuezhi again and again. His thin body and slightly curved spine could not overwhelm his upward heart, solemn and sincere.

Wei Shu integrated all his respect and love for Hong Xuezhi into this ceremony.

As if feeling the sincerity of the young man, Hong Xuezhi's gaze became softer, and he reached out and patted Wei Shu's shoulder.

"It's fine if you want to be a teacher, but I have to test you first. If not... then you have to start with Mr. Gu first."

After ten years of hard work, with his head overhanging the beam and his bone piercing, as a scholar, Hong Xuezhi has a natural affection for the poor students who study hard.

Especially in the face of adversity, Wei Shu still did not forget to read and write, and tried every means to enter the academy to study stealthily. This behavior was greatly appreciated by Hong Xuezhi.

"Mr. please take a test."

Wei Shu pursed his lips and became serious.

Hong Xuezhi beckoned, called him to his side, and asked casually, "Have you finished reading the Three Character Classic, Hundred Surnames, and Qiongxue Youlin?"

"Go back to Mr., I've finished reading."

Wei Shu answered sternly.

"In the old days, Meng's mother chose a place next to her; if her son didn't learn from her, she would lose her chance. What does this sentence mean?"

As soon as this question came out, the clear and bright boy's voice sounded in the room.

"During the Warring States period, Mencius' mother moved three times, just to make Mencius have a good learning environment."

"One time when Mencius played truant, Mother Meng cut off the cloth on the loom to educate Mencius..."

"It's called scholars and farmers, and it's called industry and commerce; these four peoples are the good of the country; what's the explanation for this?"

"Scholar, agriculture, industry and commerce refer to studying, farming, and doing business. These four parts make up a country and are the indispensable pillars of the country."

"Recite the thousand-character text once."

"The sky and the earth are yellow, the universe is prehistoric..."
