110 Ping An is speechless
Ping'an has been working unprecedentedly hard these days, and his little face has become a little thinner.
In the morning, the teacher would come to the village to teach him, and Yuanqing and others would follow to learn. In the afternoon, Xiaowu would send him and the teacher to the city, and Qingshi and Wu Jun would take them together. Learning medicine is not something that can be achieved overnight.
Sun Wen took Ping An to the back hall. There were a lot of patients in Baicaotang today. Since Sun Sicheng was here during this period of time, he must help with the diagnosis. Many patients came for him.
So much so that I am only now eating egg noodles in the backyard.
"Ping An, you can't just study in the morning and then not pay attention to the rest of the time. You are already eight years old, not young anymore. The scholars in the Great Zhou love poetry, and there are many who can compose poems fluently. You don't need to spend time on it. You can point to a flower or a grass and recite a poem. Take your master for example. He has only eaten noodles now because he has been treating patients. He can also compose a poem."
Ping An was also speechless.
These days, the teacher seems to want to take the imperial examination to become the top scholar, but he just wants to pass the examination to become a scholar. It would be even better if he passed the imperial examination so that he would not be called uneducated. Becoming a famous doctor is his ultimate goal.
If this continues, will he become the top scholar or a famous doctor?
He has it so hard.
"Ping An, go to the hall first, I'll be there in a minute."
"Got it, Master." He bowed to the gentleman who was frowning at him, "Sir, I can write poetry. I'll go to the front hall first."
Writing poems, right? Sir, one day, I will make you stunned by my poems, and then excited and unable to sleep at night.
He now understood clearly that the Great Zhou did not have those famous poems that were popular in his previous life. He was once a talented young man with a photographic memory, and he especially liked Tang poetry and Song lyrics. He knew too many famous poems and names in his mind.
If he makes a few minor changes, won't he be safe? But he is too young now, and he can't be that smart, and he can't be so high-profile that he loses his mind at any time.
"Go ahead." Sun Wen waved his hand.
Sun Sicheng finished the last mouthful of soup and said, "Awen, what are you going to do? Ping An is already studying and will take the exam for a scholar in the future, but he is my apprentice and will eventually become a famous doctor."
"My Lord, that child is so smart. Maybe he can become a famous minister in the future and help the emperor govern our Great Zhou. Don't you want to see the Great Zhou prosper? Aren't you still a famous doctor? Besides, can't a famous minister be a famous doctor?"
"Are you crazy? You want to be a famous minister? You let Heian stay awake for twelve hours a day? Even as if it were twenty-four hours? Didn't you see how thin he has become?"
"He is just a little bit sick. Sir, you can prescribe a medicinal diet recipe for him. Let's arrange the time and let Ping An try it. What if after the college exam, he wants to take the provincial exam? After the provincial exam, does he want to take the spring exam?
Young master, let's give it a try. Geniuses cannot be compared with ordinary people. Ordinary people take several days to memorize an article, but he is different. He can memorize it in just one hour. You see, the old man taught him medicine for a few days, and he remembered it firmly. You have boasted to me about this more than once.
Let's try and see how far a genius can go. What if Ping An can be both a famous doctor and a famous official? My Lord, Baicaotang will also need our own backer in the future. If Ping An can be this backer in the future, wouldn't that be good?"
Sun Sicheng stared at Sun Wen for a long time without saying anything.
He admitted that he was tempted.
But there has never been anyone in history who could pass the imperial examination and become a famous doctor. He also wanted to become the originator of internal organ surgery with his apprentice, and the surgical tools were all placed in the medical box.
The genius is only eight years old. Is it okay to put so much pressure on him?
He couldn't bear it.
"Awen, you and I just need to know this. I'll study literature with you in the morning and medicine with me in the afternoon. You don't need to tell me anything else."
Sun Yat-sen knew that the eldest son was tempted, so of course he would not chase after him.
"You were supposed to open a shop in Huainan Prefecture, why didn't you go?"
"Is this so strange? Doing business is just to make money. Having people is enough. Safety is more important. Besides, I have to prepare the shop here. Fang Xiao is helping. There are many others."
Sun Sicheng shook his head and said, "How many shops do you want to open? You have opened eight in Jiangnan, and you want to open four more here. You already have twelve."
"Twelve is not a lot. I plan to open 20 or 30 braised food shops in the future. Ping An and I need money to study, and Ping An wants to support his own family, which one doesn't cost money? Fang Xiao, He Jin and the others, we eat meat, but we also have to give them soup, so we can all make money."
"It's up to you, Awen. Now that Wan Changsheng is back, let Ping An offer you a cup of tea."
Sun Wen sighed, "I want to, but I'm afraid it will affect Ping An. What if a great scholar wants to take him in as a disciple in the future?"
"fart."
"Young Master, why are you using foul language today? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, if others heard you speaking like this, they probably wouldn't recognize you."
"What am I afraid of? I am Ping'an's master chef. I can do anything Ping'an needs. Master Wu is Xiao Wu and Da Wu. With their status, it is impossible for Ping'an to kneel before them. Master Wen, you deserve it. In our Great Zhou, only the first master chef can hold a banquet to recruit disciples, so we have to let you down and not hold a big one. But we, our families, will sit together and have a happy meal. It is only right for Ping'an to offer you a cup of tea."
Sun Wen smiled and said, "My Lord, I am really moved. Just because I want to be this boy's teacher, I even think about studying at night, for fear that I am not qualified. I really like this child."
"That's it, I'm going to the front office. Since you plan to take the imperial examination, even though it's still three years away, try to train your own people and let them do the small things. You can just take care of the big and difficult ones."
"I know. I'm leaving too. I'll arrange all this by the end of the year. After the eighth day of the first lunar month, you can go to the valley to teach peace and safety. You can go to the capital to handle your affairs peacefully."
The two men smiled at each other, and Sun Yat-sen waved his hand and strode away. He was in a good mood and looked very energetic.
Sun Sicheng did not go to the front hall immediately.
More than ten years ago, he accidentally saved Sun Wen's family and helped him avenge his revenge. Over the years, he has been diligently helping me in all kinds of circumstances. It is not an exaggeration to call him the biggest shopkeeper or the first accountant of Baicaotang. It is hard to say how much I have helped him.
The relationship between the two is no less than that of brothers. He is so excited today because Ping An is indeed outstanding, so outstanding that Sun Yat-sen could not bear to see his child give up the imperial examination.
The child is young, and he doesn't quite understand what he wants now. Let him learn like this for the time being. When he is fifteen years old, no matter which path he wants to take, no one will stop him.
But he was determined to pass on the medical knowledge to him.
The reason why Master Wen wanted Awen to be confirmed was that he was afraid that one day, a great scholar would really take a fancy to Ping An, and then use his status as a master to force Ping An to learn literature. At that time, he could use his status as a master to force him, but that would also offend people.
The Sun family has a high reputation in medicine, but after all, they are just a large pharmaceutical family and cannot be compared with the real noble families. The backers behind them are not that powerful, so it is not certain how many years they can last, and the cost is not low every year.
He was really tempted by Sun Yat-sen's proposal.
