Chapter 87 Xiaohong, are you here to play with me? (Please subscribe and vote)
Not long after practicing, Chen Yushu heard a greeting. He turned around and saw that it was Manager Zhou.
"Your father is here."
Manager Zhou shouted.
"OK."
Chen Yushu was stunned, nodded quickly and ran downstairs quickly.
Then, he saw his father standing at the door of the drugstore, looking a little hesitant.
"Jade Book."
Seeing Chen Yushu, Chen Baihe's eyes lit up. He stepped forward and patted his shoulder. Noticing that he had grown noticeably taller, he couldn't help but say, "You've grown taller and stronger... I heard that you're now your shopkeeper's apprentice? What's going on?"
Last time, your uncle Chen Ping said that you had become an apprentice in making medicine.
By the way, I have received the ten taels of silver that you asked your uncle Chen Ping to bring over.
I haven't asked you about this yet, where did you get the money?"
"I took our shopkeeper as my master and learned martial arts from him. This happened a few days ago, and Uncle Chen Ping didn't know about it either."
Chen Yushu nodded quickly and explained it again.
Before, the hunter Chen Ping from the village had come once and helped his father send some winter clothes. That was why Chen Yushu took ten taels of silver and sent it over.
The reason why he only sent out ten taels of silver was because he only had ten taels of silver on him at the time, and most of the silver was left at home.
"What about the silver? What happened?"
Chen Baihe asked.
This is also what he is most worried about.
The Chen family has always been honest and does not want their son to make any mistakes.
"Last time, I was lucky enough to catch a precious fish, and I exchanged it with Manager Zhou for some silver. You can find out about this by asking him.
It’s just that I didn’t have that much money with me at the time, so I only sent ten taels.
I still have thirty or forty taels."
Chen Yushu explained with a smile.
This is also the source of his money, and he said this to reassure Chen Baihe.
"this……"
Chen Baihe was stunned and could only say, "That's good, that's good."
Seeing this, Chen Yushu felt that it was not good to stand at the door all the time, so he hurriedly invited his father to go upstairs. Chen Baihe waved his hand and said, "I'll leave after standing here for a while.
This time I came here, firstly to sell some yams, and secondly to see you.
Now that I see you are doing well, I feel relieved."
Chen Baihe waved his hand, then thought for a moment and said, "Oh, your mother is pregnant."
"ah?"
Chen Yushu was stunned.
…
Before his father left, Chen Yushu handed over another fifteen taels of silver. It was not that he didn't want to give more, but if he gave too much, it would be difficult to explain.
In addition, he also suggested that his parents move to Jianghuan Town.
But Chen Baihe rejected it outright. His ancestors had lived in Beijiao Village for eight generations. How could he just move away?
He didn't dare mention the fact that all the ancestors in the ancestral hall were gone, nor did he mention the "big fish" in the village, but he was always a little worried.
Especially now that my mother is pregnant again...
But he had no way to deal with this matter and could only take it one step at a time.
afternoon.
After lunch, Chen Yushu went straight to Ningjing Academy.
Inside Wenchang Pavilion.
Chen Yushu selected a pile of books, found a familiar seat, and started reading.
At that moment, he was reading an article written by a great scholar named Li Wenshu. It was a treatise on governing the country and improving people's livelihoods, as well as a set of reforms. It even mentioned measures such as opening more schools, making tuition free, coeducation between men and women, trying local gentry and bullies, and evenly distributing land and returning it to the people...
Some of them are truly refreshing. The arguments and implementation plans are very clear. For the first time, they even proposed using a county as a test case...
Unfortunately, there was a text at the end that mentioned that this policy proposal was rejected before it was submitted to the emperor's desk for reviewing memorials.
Afterwards, Li Wenshu was demoted and sent back to his hometown, and his official career was cut short.
"Can you understand this book?"
After finishing the whole book, just as Chen Yushu was about to change to another one, a voice suddenly rang out.
Chen Yushu looked up and saw an old man with silver hair, over sixty years old, and a few age spots on his face. He knew that in the academy, those who could enter the Wenchang Pavilion were either students or teachers.
He was just borrowing the time to study, so he didn't want to be too arrogant. So he replied, "I only understand a little bit."
"oh?
Whose student are you and what is your name?
The old man asked again.
"I just like reading, so I borrow books from the academy to read. I'm not anyone's student."
Chen Yushu replied.
"So, tell me, is this policy paper well-written or not?"
The old man couldn't help but ask.
"Good, and bad."
Chen Yushu said frankly.
"What's good about it? What's bad about it?"
The old man had a puzzled look on his face.
“The intention is good.
But it was inappropriate and misjudged the situation.
Even if this policy proposal were actually handed over to the emperor, it would not be implemented."
"What's the meaning of this?"
"Because broadening people's knowledge and encouraging everyone to read is only beneficial to the people, not to the officials."
Chen Yushu replied.
“It only benefits the people, but not the officials?”
The old man was also stunned for a moment. As a scholar, he certainly understood that in any dynasty, the resources were controlled by the upper class.
The opportunity to study was only available to the children of officials, clan gentry, rich farmers and businessmen.
Although ordinary people can also read, the tuition fees paid to teachers and the lack of labor after graduation are a huge burden.
If everyone could attend school for free, the first ones to suffer would be the children from wealthy families, and the struggle for power would become even more fierce than it is now.
This is something no upper-class person would want to see.
After Chen Yushu finished speaking, he ignored the old man, changed to another book, and continued reading.
His words seemed to have stunned the other party, making him unable to move for a long time.
Until another middle-aged teacher came in and asked, "Teacher, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay..."
The old man shook his head, walked up to Chen Yushu and said, "Do you also want to study in our college?
If you want, I'd be happy to introduce you and recommend you for admission."
"In no mood!"
Chen Yushu shook his head and said.
"In no mood?
Since you like to study, why don't you go to school? Wouldn't it be better if you have a teacher to teach you?
And it is possible that you will be able to pass the imperial examinations in the future."
The old man was stunned and asked anxiously.
"I can study and read books here, so why should I go to school?"
Chen Yushu reads books not for the purpose of achieving something in the future, but entirely to improve his skills.
The old man had been by his side all the time, which had already made him a little irritated, so he said, "Old man, you are disturbing me while I am reading."
The old man was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
The middle-aged scholar beside him was furious when he heard this. He was about to step forward, but was stopped by the old man, "Then you should study."
But finally I stopped disturbing him.
Chen Yushu naturally knew that the old man's identity might not be simple.
It is very likely that he is an old teacher or old gentleman.
But he entered the academy to study only to improve his reading skills and to reach a higher level in his state of meditation.
Naturally, I don’t want to go to any school and attend classes with other students.
When I got home, it was already dark.
After Chen Yushu completed his routine practice of standing meditation and Medicine King Locking Power, he went straight to the study.
After several days of practice, he finally gained some confidence and drew the last talisman in the book of Chaoyang Talismans.
Lightning talisman!
The lightning-inducing talisman has a total of nineteen rune structures.
Even though his state of meditation had reached the great level, it still took him two or three days to finally gain some confidence.
Now is the time to verify.
Chen Yushu put down the talisman paper, pressed it with the soul-breaking ruler, then picked up the talisman pen and applied talisman ink.
The next moment, he entered into a state of meditation and began practicing again.
One rune, two runes...
After several days of practice, he has mastered the nineteen rune structures of the lightning-inducing talisman. Now all he needs is the last step.
Combine these nineteen rune structures from beginning to end, integrate them into one, and incorporate them into the talisman.
This is also not an easy thing to do.
You need to have a full understanding of the rune structure and the entire talisman itself.
Fortunately, Chen Yushu is not lacking in patience.
Even if you fail again and again, you can make adjustments quickly and try again and again.
While Chen Yushu began to draw the talisman, Xiaoyin was playing alone outside the study.
She had long known that the study was where Brother Yu Shu worked, and that there were many auras in it that made her feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, she usually would not enter that room, nor did she dare to enter.
Whoosh~
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees in a short period of time.
Xiaoyin immediately turned her gaze to the outside of the door, and happened to see a head sticking out from outside the door and above the courtyard wall.
This head also looks like a little girl, but her eyes are a little red.
If you stood outside the door, you could even see that her entire body was red.
“Xiaohong!
Xiaohong, are you here to play with me?"
Seeing this, Xiaoyin suddenly laughed and ran over happily.
The little girl outside the wall also smiled in her red eyes.
Then the two little girls jumped and ran out.
…
"Finally it worked!"
Chen Yushu drew the final stroke.
Then I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
At the same time, he immediately felt the surrounding vital energy fluctuating violently, and a special force, as if being inexplicably pulled, quickly poured into the talisman paper on the table.
Then he picked up the talisman. Although it was thin, it felt quite heavy in his hand.
This is because the talisman stores sufficient talismanic power.
"Thunder-inducing talisman. Thunder-inducing talisman.
This talisman is probably the most powerful one among all the talismans I possess."
Chen Yushu was very clear about the power of thunder magic.
Looking at this talisman, I feel a sense of satisfaction.
Of course, Chen Yushu would not think that he had too many of these talismans. After drawing one, he immediately began to draw talismans with all his strength.
Soon, he drew the second picture, the third picture... He stopped only after the fifth picture.
