Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 608 Studying Medicine
Li Xin braced his stomach and went to Yang'er's bedroom.

Yang'er is still awake at the moment, she lit a candle and put on the lampshade and was still reading, her small body straightened.

Li Xin knocked on the door and he answered. The moment he opened the door, he saw the little man's concentration.

"Mother." Yang'er put down the book, turned around and looked at her with a smile.

Since entering school, Yang'er has acted more steadily. He used to like to rub Li Xin, but now he doesn't behave like a child anymore.While Li Xin sighed that Yang'er had started to grow up gradually, she also felt very regretful.It feels good to be dependent on a child.

Yang'er was very obedient, and supported Li Xin to sit her on his bed, looking at her with big eyes flickering and questioning.

Li Xin would come to Yang'er's room every night before going to bed, and talk to him a few words, and sometimes she would come to Yang'er's room when she got up in the middle of the night to see if he kicked the quilt.Yang'er was also used to Li Xin's arrival, and thought that Li Xin wanted to talk to him as usual.

Li Xin thought for a while before asking: "Yang'er, your fifth aunt told Mother that you are very interested in studying medicine. Mother would like to ask you, do you want to study medicine?"

Yang'er was surprised, his eyes started to wander, and he didn't dare to look at Li Xin.

Li Xin smiled and hugged him to sit beside her, and said, "Don't be shy, tell mother."

Yang'er swallowed her saliva and said, "Mother, if I go to study medicine...is that okay?"

Li Xin tilted his head: "Isn't it good at studying? In the future, you can go to the examination for scholar and become a high official. What an honor! I remember that you admire your little uncle very much."

The little uncle was referring to Li Ming. Yang'er had indeed had a crush on Li Ming from the very beginning when she saw him, and she got close to Li Ming unconsciously.Li Xin still remembered that Yang'er told her that he felt that his little uncle had a very good smell.After thinking about it, Li Xin thought that what Yang'er was talking about was that Li Ming had been soaking in books all year round, and his body smelled of books and ink.

Yang'er nodded: "I admire my little uncle very much, and he is good at reading, but I don't want to be an official..."

Yang'er lowered her head slightly: "I want to study medicine, and I want to be a doctor who can cure diseases and save people like my fifth aunt. Then I don't have to worry about anyone in the family getting sick, and I can cure them all."

Li Xin laughed, patted Yang'er's head and said, "Yang'er is really a kind-hearted child."

Yang'er is very embarrassed, he has grown up, and his mother still treats him as a child.

"Your fifth aunt said that when I go back to town this time, I will ask Dr. Wen to see if the clinic accepts little medicine boys. If you want to study medicine, and the clinic also accepts little medicine boys, would you like to go to the doctor's office?" Do you want to go to the hospital?" Li Xin asked him, and said, "Being familiar with all kinds of medical knowledge since childhood, the basic knowledge is solid. What do you think?"

Yang'er hesitated for a moment: "Isn't that going to leave mother?"

Li Xin was stunned, and nodded gently: "You have to follow the doctor, start from the most basic place, you have to identify various medicinal materials, and you have to memorize the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials. This must be a very boring and time-consuming task. The process. To be a doctor, you must be patient and calm. Can Yanger do it?"

Yang'er is the grandson of Chief Security Officer Wei. Since Chief Security Officer Wei is a security guard, he must have a bit of a tough air, and he may have a bit of a temper.I just don't know if Yang'er will also inherit his temperament.

Li Xin raised Yang'er by her side for two or three years, but in her eyes, Yang'er has always been a child of "harmony is the most important thing". He doesn't like to argue, he is humble and kind.

Compared with his nephew Shanzi, Yang'er's temper couldn't be better.

Yang'er's clear eyes were full of reluctance for Li Xin, but she still nodded seriously: "I'm not afraid, Fifth Aunt told me about the common grass in the village, some of which are medicines, tell me about those What are the medicinal properties of the medicine and what diseases can it cure... I like to listen to it very much. I will not find it boring."

Li Xinyang smiled, and Yang'er continued: "It doesn't matter if it takes a long time, my mother said, I can keep learning as long as I live and learn."

Li Xin didn't hide the smile at all, stretched out his hand to hold Yang'er in his arms, sighed softly and said, "Yang'er is really a good boy."

"...I just don't want to part with my mother, I don't want to leave my mother..."

If Yang'er really went to the medical center to study medicine, both Guan Wen and Axiu could watch him, so Li Xin was not worried.It's just that I might not get used to it...

Yang'er said softly again: "And now I am also reluctant to leave the school, I finally got to know my friends in the school..."

Li Xin couldn't bear to deprive Yang of her childhood happiness. In her opinion, children should have their own fun in childhood and be able to have fun with their partners to their heart's content.If he really went to the medical clinic, surrounded by doctors of a certain age and experience, without playmates of the same age, Yang'er would not be happy no matter how eager he was for medical knowledge.

Li Xin hugged him and thought about it for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled Yang'er to meet his eyes and said: "If you want to study medicine, you can't do it without a good foundation, but there is no need to go." Stay in the medical center! Mother will buy you some books on medicine, so you can lay the foundation for it.”

Li Xin paused: "Just buy the kind of book that introduces medicinal materials and medicinal properties, with pictures in the shape of herbs, okay?"

Yang'er immediately nodded in surprise, but then he became a little puzzled: "A book with a picture of the properties of herbs? Mother, is there such a book for sale? Yang'er has read a lot of books since mother taught me to read and write. Books with pictures."

Li Xin was taken aback.

Is there no introductory book similar to "Compendium of Materia Medica" with rich pictures and texts in this era?
If not, this is indeed a problem!The most basic knowledge base of medicinal materials can only be passed on from person to person. No wonder the imperial court attaches great importance to medicine. Whether one can become a doctor must pass the examination of the imperial court.

Without theoretical knowledge, it can only be practiced.Is it possible that Yang'er is really going to be a little drug boy in a medical clinic?

Li Xin hesitated.

Yang'er reached out to grab Li Xin's hand, and said decisively: "Mother, Yang'er wants to study medicine, but he doesn't want to leave Mother. If Mother doesn't buy such a book, then Yang'er will find herbal medicine to recognize it."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Yang'er recognizes that?"

Yang'er said: "Mm... mother, is this good? I go to the medical center every ten days, ask about the appearance and properties of a few medicinal materials, and then draw them, take them home and study them by myself. This way, the accumulation of time will make a lot of money." , and slowly Yang'er will have pictures and texts of medicinal materials as thick as a book!"

Li Xin was a little surprised.

If Yang'er can persevere, maybe he can really compile a book similar to "Compendium of Materia Medica"?

Li Xin maintained an encouraging attitude towards Yang'er's innovative thinking, nodded immediately and said: "Okay, mother will tell your father later, let your father send a letter to your fifth aunt."

Yang'er raised his brows with joy, and kept nodding his head. The joy in his eyes made Li Xin couldn't help following him in a happy mood.

"What if we have a little genius doctor in our family in the future?" Li Xin teased Yang'er: "With Yang'er at home, you don't need to worry about getting sick in the future. until the illness is cured."

Yang'er's ears were red, and now she grabbed Li Xin's clothes and twisted them coquettishly, calling softly, "Mother..."

Li Xin patted his head and said: "Okay, it's getting late, stay up late reading and be careful not to damage your eyes. Tomorrow's mother will make you a cup of chrysanthemum tea. It's because I picked chrysanthemums in autumn to get sunburned. Eat it." Very clear and bright.”

Yang'er nodded, Li Xin kissed him good night on his forehead, Yang'er watched Li Xin go out of his room, and helped him close the door.

After one matter was resolved, Li Xin was in a happy mood, but when he returned to his room, he saw Guan Wen sitting in front of the vanity mirror with his back to him, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't even notice that he came in.

Li Xin closed the door, bolted the door, walked towards the side of the bed, and asked while making the bed, "Ah Wen, have you finished reading the letter?"

Without getting a response from Guan Wen, Li Xin turned his head strangely, and called out to Guan Wen, "Ah Wen."

As if he had just heard it, Guan Wen suddenly looked at Li Xin, and asked in a daze, "What?"

Li Xin frowned, walked towards him, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him, pressed his middle fingers on his temples on both sides of his brows and rubbed gently, and asked softly, "Why are you in a daze?"

Guan Wen closed his eyes, regained his clarity, pursed his lips and said, "I just read this letter."

Li Xin glanced at the dressing table, "Who sent the letter, it scared you out of your wits."

Li Xin leaned against the dressing table, turned his head slightly to look at Guan Wen, saw his solemn expression, and immediately felt uncomfortable, and asked again: "Who sent the letter? What did you write?"

Guan Wen simply took the letter paper and handed it to Li Xin.

"Letter from Sixth Brother." Guan Wen lowered his voice, "I didn't expect him to write back."

This letter was only a hundred or so words long, Guan Zhicheng was indeed a person who had read books for several years, his words were elegant and his tone was so polite that it seemed to be the case.Guan Wen wouldn't tell Li Xin that he didn't know many uncommon words and phrases in it, but Guan Wen could guess the general meaning.

There is not much substance in the letter, and reading the whole text is more like showing off.

Guan Zhicheng said that he and Guan Ming are living a good life now, they don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and he has a concubine, and now the concubine is pregnant with a baby, Guan Ming is very happy.How they lived a good life was not explained in the letter of acceptance, but at the end of the letter it implicitly stated that if Guan Wen and others wanted to go to them, he would welcome them.It's just that the high-spirited tone and the attitude of giving favors made Li Xin extremely upset.

From Guan Wen's point of view, forbidding the use of those uncommon words in this letter, and asking him to personally write it by name, is to ridicule him, let alone read the entire content of the letter.

As for Li Xin, the sneer at the corner of his mouth couldn't be stopped.

The fourth wife of the Shen family has already set her sights on Guan Zhicheng. If he is really living a wealthy life, he should tighten his tail and be a man. Don't you know what he has done?How could he still have the face to hang around?
But I have to say that this sudden letter from Guan Zhicheng really dropped a boulder on the calm lake of the Guan family.
