The next day, Wanruo was busy in her own pharmacy as usual.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door, and a servant came running in: "Miss, there's a man fainted outside the door."

Wanruo frowned slightly, put down the work in her hands and walked out: "I'll go take a look."

She walked to the door, and sure enough, she saw a man dressed as a scholar fainted on the ground, his face pale, with scarlet blood spreading from his shoulder blade.

She squatted down, felt his breath, and took his pulse. Then she looked up and said to the servant, "He fainted from excessive blood loss. Let's carry him inside first."

Xu's Pharmacy has always provided relief to poor patients and there is no reason for it to sit idly by.

"yes."

Two servants carried him in. Wanruo first stopped his bleeding, bandaged his wound, and then gave him some medicine.

After a while, the bookworm finally opened his eyes weakly.

Wanruo asked him, "Are you awake? You were weak and fainted on the street."

Shubei forced himself to sit up and bowed to her: "Thank you very much, young lady, for saving my life. Thank you very much, young lady."

Wanruo put a soft pillow on his back and asked, "How did you get injured so badly? Did you run into bandits?"

Shubei didn't dare look at her face, his eyes flickering as he looked away. "I, I'm a candidate going to the capital to take the imperial examination. I encountered bandits outside the city, and I fled all the way into the city."

"I heard that there are bandits outside the city and the government has been arresting people. You are unlucky to have encountered such a person. But it's a good thing that you didn't lose your life. Money is just material possessions." Wanruo said with a smile.

The bookkeeper was dazzled by her smile and stammered, "Miss, I must repay you for saving my life. I don't even know your name..."

"I'm Xu Wanruo. My father admires scholars, so even a little effort is nothing."

The bookkeeper smiled shyly: "Miss Xu, I am Lin Han."

"The master is here!" the servant shouted.

"Dad!" Wanruo turned around and greeted him, "A scholar who was injured by bandits fell in front of my shop."

When Master Xu heard that he was a Juren, he immediately came to greet him politely: "Next year is the Spring Examination. Is this scholar going to the capital to take the exam?"

"Yes, I came from Qingzhou and passed by here."

Mr. Xu patted his shoulder enthusiastically and said, "You are young and promising. You have a bright future! If my youngest son can pass the imperial examination in the future, my Xu family will be honored!"

Lin Han scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm not sure, I'm just trying my luck."

"Hey, you're so modest! You're seriously injured, so just rest here and recuperate. I've always admired scholars. If you pass the imperial examination someday, it will be a great favor from me!"

Lin Han bowed gratefully: "Thank you, Master Xu."

Lin Han glanced at Wanruo secretly, and his ears turned red. Mr. Xu noticed it and immediately had some thoughts in his mind.

Lin Han stayed at Xu's pharmacy. Mr. Xu treated him warmly and allowed him to recuperate with peace of mind.

Until one day, Mr. Xu seemed to mention Wanruo's marriage unintentionally.

"My daughter has been spoiled by me since she was little. She can't stand being restricted and loves running this medicine shop. Now that she's almost reaching marriage age, it's hard to find a husband."

Lin Han said quickly, "How could it be so hard to find someone with Miss Xu's talent and beauty? Besides, Miss Xu is skilled in medicine and business, and she's more insightful than the average woman."

Mr. Xu was very satisfied after hearing this. His daughter would have no trouble finding a husband. Wanruo was one of the most talented and beautiful women in Lincheng. In the past two years, many people had proposed marriage to her.

Most of them are pedantic families who expect one to follow the three obediences and four virtues after marriage, or their motives are impure. Wanruo will always suffer if she marries him, so how can he bear it?

"It's rare to find someone with the vision of Lin Yizi."

Lin Han was stunned for a moment, then he mustered up the courage to say, "If I can pass the imperial examination this time, I, I...I want to marry Miss Xu."

Mr. Xu smiled inwardly, but he still maintained a serious expression: "I can't be Wanwan's master either. I have to ask her opinion first."

Lin Han nodded nervously.

Mr. Xu went out immediately and found Wanruo at the pharmacy.

"What do you think of Lin Han?" Mr. Xu asked tentatively.

Wanruo buried her head in the herbs, not even looking up: "Dad, are you planning to choose him as your son-in-law?"

Mr. Xu said: "How did you know?!"

This girl is so smart, I really don't know who she takes after.

Wanruo didn't answer, but just said: "If Dad thinks it's okay, then let him go. Our family is in business, and having a son-in-law who can pass the imperial examination will be more secure in the future. Although Ajin is studying, he is still young after all."

"It depends on whether you like it or not."

Wanruo tilted her head and thought for a moment: "He has a good temper, a gentle personality, and is kind. I think he's quite good."

Suitable to be a husband.

After hearing this, Master Xu nodded immediately: "Okay! Let's get engaged first!"
