Chapter 97: Unconventional Views
Ji Yunzhan grew up with Wei Zan's grandfather and was educated by Mr. Ji.
Although Mr. Ji had no official title, it was rumored that he was a well-read man, but he just hated being an official. Except for the imperial examination he was forced to take by his parents when he was young, he never took any exams again.
Therefore, Ji Yunzhan followed him and had to learn to read and write since he was young.
Moreover, he had participated in the imperial examinations in his previous life, but because he had never studied in an academy and had never received any guidance, he ultimately failed.
It was precisely because of this that he embarked on a completely different path. Although his status became noble later on, the ending in the dream was truly terrifying.
But the fact that he dared to take part in the imperial examination showed that Ji Yunzhan must have a good foundation in studies.
What if in this life, he went to study at the academy in Xiangyao County?
Cen Yan thought so in his mind, picked up the pen and quickly wrote down two different prescriptions, then gave them to Ji Yunzhan.
Ji Yunzhan looked at it carefully.
The above lists in detail two different prescriptions for external application and internal administration, and tells you how to do it specifically.
It's just this word, the writing is really not good enough.
"I've only just learned to write! My handwriting can't be compared with yours!" Cen Yan said immediately when she saw him frowning.
"I didn't say you couldn't write well." Ji Yunzhan glanced at her, "But if you want to practice calligraphy, I can teach you."
"Then wait until your injury is healed. By the way, there are so many books in your study, have you finished reading them all?" Cen Yan began to lead the topic to reading.
"I've finished reading it. Life in the mountains is boring. Fortunately, I have these books to accompany me over the years." When Ji Yunzhan mentioned the room full of books, a gentle look appeared in his eyes.
It can be seen that he himself likes reading very much.
It’s just that fate is like a knife and people are like weeds.
No one knows how this knife will destroy a person's future life in the next moment.
"Have you ever thought about going to school?" Cen Yan asked.
"Reading?" Ji Yunzhan seemed a little confused. "Don't I read every day?"
"No, no, I'm not saying that you should stay here and study alone, but go out to the three most famous academies in Xiangyao County, as well as several other large and small academies, and the county school. Don't you plan to give it a try? In the future, you can take part in the imperial examinations and embark on a career in officialdom..." Cen Yan spoke out the idea that he had just thought about for a long time.
"Well, when my father was still alive, he didn't like a career in politics. He always said that he taught me to read and write not to let me pursue fame and fortune. He probably didn't want me to pursue a career in politics." Ji Yunzhan said hesitantly.
But if you don't choose the path of official career, you will die miserably in the future!
When Cen Yan heard him say this, she was so anxious that she wanted to shout it out.
"I think that you are you and your father is your father. Everyone is different. Your father doesn't like to pursue fame, wealth and power and is unwilling to pursue a career in politics, but that doesn't mean you have to be like that too. Otherwise, how can your life be your own? Wouldn't it then become your father's? Ji Yunzhan, are you living for yourself or for your father?" she said immediately.
"You, I..." Such unorthodox remarks made Ji Yunzhan look shocked.
"Well, sorry, I don't mean to say anything bad about your father. It's just that your father only makes demands on you based on his own preferences. I think that's unfair to you. How can you know that kind of life is not what you want if you haven't experienced it yourself?" Cen Yan was worried that Ji Yunzhan would be unhappy to hear her say bad things about his father, so she quickly added.
After she said this, Ji Yunzhan was silent for a while.
Considering that he was going against his father's last words and might be struggling in his heart, she pursed her lips and decided not to say anything more.
But after thinking about it, she couldn't help but say, "Besides, what your father said was not always right. Before he died, he asked you to go to the Wei family. You obeyed his request and sold your property to come to the Wei family, but what was the result?"
Her words made Ji Yunzhan tremble all over again.
In the past, he was deceived by the Wei family and had his legs broken.
Although both legs have healed now, the scars from the past seem to have recurred and are aching again.
"I, I'll go boil some medicine for you..." Thinking that what she said had made Ji Yunzhan unhappy, Cen Yan didn't dare to speak again and stood up to go to the kitchen.
"Cen Yan." However, Ji Yunzhan immediately looked up and called her.
"Huh?" Cen Yan paused and looked back at him.
"Thank you for what you said. I will seriously consider it." Ji Yunzhan frowned and said with an extremely cautious expression.
"That's good." Cen Yan felt relieved, smiled at him, turned and went into the kitchen.
Ji Yunzhan looked at her figure and fell into deep thought.
Cen Yan was in the kitchen. After thinking for a moment, he took out the necessary herbs from the space.
The herbal remedies she had used for external application on Ji Yunzhan before had the effects of removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, and detoxifying and reducing swelling. The ones she was going to give him internally now were to prevent his wounds from becoming inflamed and infected, causing symptoms such as fever. He might not have eaten anything since yesterday, and his body was tired and weak, so he needed some nutrition and a good rest.
After Ji Yunzhan took the medicine, she made some light and delicious meals and brought them over.
The food wasn't much, but at least he didn't have to go hungry anymore.
The medicine contained herbs that had a sleeping effect, and Ji Yunzhan gradually felt sleepy.
Cen Yan helped him to bed to rest.
When he woke up, it was already almost evening.
When he woke up, he first felt that the injuries that had tormented him for a whole day and night were no longer painful. Then, he found Cen Yan sitting in front of his bed, reading a book intently.
For some reason, this scene made him feel an unprecedented peace in his heart.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry?" As if feeling his gaze, Cen Yan moved her eyes away from the book. Seeing that he woke up, she smiled at him and asked softly.
"What time is it?" Ji Yunzhan sat up from the bed and asked.
"It's the end of the afternoon. Please sit down first. I'll go heat up the food for you." Cen Yan had already prepared dinner in advance.
"You didn't go home at noon? Will your family be worried?" Thinking of what happened last time, Ji Yunzhan couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"It's okay. There have been times before when I went to the mountains to cut grass in the morning and couldn't come back at noon. I can just find a reason to explain it when I get back, and my grandparents won't care about me too much." After Cen Yan finished speaking, he put down the book in his hand, turned around and went to the kitchen to heat up some food.
Ji Yunzhan picked up the book and found that she was reading the book "Tongjian Ji Shi Benmo" that he had been revisiting recently.
This made him feel a little strange, his face started to get hot for no apparent reason, and he started to think about all sorts of things.
