Chapter 224 Jing'an Earl
"The Mansion of the Marquis of Jing'an?" Old Doctor Yan muttered softly.
He suddenly remembered that he had indeed treated old Earl Jing'an many years ago.
"The grandson of the Marquis of Jing'an actually bullied you because of something that happened in the past?" asked Doctor Yan.
Yan Lang nodded slightly.
"How did they bully you?" Doctor Yan asked again.
Whenever Yan Lang thought back on it, he felt extremely painful.
Baiyun Academy has one day off every two weeks. Although it is not completely closed, accommodation is mandatory and servants are not allowed to be brought in. Students can only go out for lunch and are required to stay in the academy at other times.
Some diligent students would not even leave the college for lunch. In order to save time, they would rather endure the college's terrible meals.
Therefore, most of the time, students eat, live, and sleep in the same place.
Originally Yan Lang's grades were okay, but ever since the young master of the Marquis of Jing'an entered the school last year, he has been known as the descendant of a quack doctor in Baiyun Academy.
The young master of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion hated Yan Lang deeply. Not only did he bully Yan Lang with words, he even gathered a group of sons of nobles and hid in the dark to push and beat him.
Yan Lang was not aware of Doctor Yan's past. He really thought that his family owed the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion a life, so even though the other party had gone too far, he endured it silently.
His life was not going well, and his studies were not going well either. The young master often tore up Yan Lang's books and homework, causing him to be frequently criticized by his teacher.
Despite being so confused, Yan Lang was able to pass the exam and stay in Baiyun Academy, which shows that he has a solid foundation.
After hearing his grandson's grievances, Old Doctor Yan's eyes turned red with anger: "Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is going too far!"
Yan Lang pulled the old man's sleeve and said, "Grandpa, my academic performance has declined. In the final analysis, it is because I am not as skilled as others. If I had been more focused, I might not have done so badly in the exam... Cui Heng from the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion said with certainty that if it weren't for your mismanagement, his grandfather could have lived for at least another half a month. We are in the wrong in this matter, and I deserve it!"
But Doctor Yan slammed the table hard: "He's talking nonsense! How could we be in the wrong?"
"I was the one who saved old Marquis Jing'an's life. I saved him twice, but I failed the last time. They chose to give up on their own, and yet they still dared to hate me!"
Yan Lang was stunned when he heard this.
Doctor Yan added, "I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I have never done anything wrong. You should stand up straight! We did nothing wrong!"
He saw Gu Zhao sneaking into the room again and shouted, "Come here and recite the oath you made when you became my disciple again!"
Gu Zhao just came to see his sister, and never thought that he had his own things to do. He stumbled and recited: "Any great doctor who treats a disease must...must...calm the mind and resolve...vow to save all living beings from suffering..."
Doctor Yan was angry when he saw Gu Zhao like this, and he cursed: "You all just know how to make me angry!"
Gu Zhao said cautiously: "Master, you said that anger hurts the liver, so you should get less angry..."
"How can I not be angry when I see you two losers?"
Gu Zhao shrank his neck.
Yan Lang was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word.
Shen Changfeng frowned at this moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
Only Niu Niu, her thoughts are as simple as ever.
The little girl said to Doctor Yan unhappily, "My brother is the one who was scolded for nothing, and your grandson is the one who was bullied. How can you be angrier than them?"
After hearing this, Doctor Yan was stunned for a moment, but he was a very strong-willed person. Even if he was arguing with a little girl, he would find a way to win.
"The one who is as stupid as a pig is my apprentice, and the one who swallows his anger is my grandson. How can I not be angry?"
Niuniu looked at him helplessly and said, "Since you love to get angry so much, then go ahead and be angry. Stop scolding my brother! My brother is not the kind of person who would bully your grandson!"
When Gu Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Woohoo, there is only one good sister in the world.
Yan Lang looked at Gu Zhao with envy, thinking to himself, is this what it feels like to have a sister protecting you?
Doctor Yan almost fell over with anger. Niu Niu's words made it sound as if he was a person who was particularly prone to anger!
"Your brother didn't recite the things seriously, and he thinks he's right?" Doctor Yan asked.
Gu Zhao seemed to have his sister's support, so he was very bold. He reached out and tugged at his sister's sleeve, saying, "My dear, Master didn't ask me to recite this before. He taught me to recite it word by word. I really didn't know how to recite it."
Niuniu immediately said confidently: "Master Yan, my brother is right! If you tell him what to memorize, he will definitely be able to memorize it!"
Unexpectedly, when Gu Zhao heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Sure enough, maybe Doctor Yan was really a reincarnation of a bamboo stick in his previous life. He seized on this point and continued to argue with Niu Niu.
"Gu Zhao, what do you mean by Atractylodes lancea, which I just taught you yesterday?" Old Doctor Yan tested Gu Zhao on the spot.
He looked like he couldn't stand losing, and it seemed like he was determined to find Gu Zhao's mistake today.
Gu Zhao had a bitter face: "Atractylodes, the aroma is strong and... fierce, a pure yang substance, it cures wind, cold, dampness and arthritis..."
Gu Zhao stumbled at the beginning but gradually became fluent. Although he spoke slowly, his speech was clear and without any mistakes.
Old Doctor Yan's face darkened. He didn't expect that Gu Zhao, who was always lazy, could actually stand the temporary test.
But he had to compete with the little girl today, and continued with a sullen face: "Where's Baizhu? Where's Chuanqiong?"
Gu Zhao's mind had never been so clear as it was now. He had only followed along halfheartedly, but now he remembered everything clearly.
He even wondered in a daze, could it be that he really was a good candidate for studying medicine?
Old Doctor Yan asked several questions in a row, and his apprentice answered them all clearly. At this time, his face became darker and darker.
Niuniu yawned and asked, "Master Yan, how long are you going to keep asking? Haven't you solved Brother Yan Lang's problem?"
In the end, Doctor Yan did not continue to test Gu Zhao because he had already asked about all the medicinal materials he had taught Gu Zhao in the past three days and there was nothing left to ask.
He turned to look at Yan Lang and said, "Just study hard tomorrow, I will take care of the rest."
Yan Lang nodded hesitantly.
Niu Niu sighed heavily.
Doctor Yan said unhappily, "What are you dissatisfied with, little girl?"
Niuniu said: "Brother Yan Lang's doubts have not been resolved, and you haven't even spoken to each other."
Doctor Yan looked at Yan Lang.
It's impossible for Yan Lang to really hide behind a little girl.
He asked his grandfather: "Is there any hidden truth behind what happened in the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion? If you can't justify it, I will always have doubts in my heart."
