Chapter 187 Entrance Examination

"Uncle Li, you must send my wife home safely."

Qin Chi gave careful instructions.

When Song Jin came to his senses and lifted the curtain, he saw only Qin Chi's broad shoulders, upright figure, and slow yet firm steps.

No matter how hard he tries to hide it, he will occasionally reveal the upbringing and composure that comes from his bones, giving people a feeling of calm and confidence, as if everything is under his control.

Until I entered the Imperial College.

Qin Chi looked back at the carriage.

Seeing Song Jin lifting the car curtain and looking at him, Qin Chi raised his hand and waved, signaling Song Jin to go back.

Qin Chi could no longer be seen.

The carriage then turned around.

Old Li said, "Madam, are you going home, or where are you going?"

"Let's go to the infirmary."

Song Jin also has cooperation with the medical clinic.

The carriage moved forward slowly.

Alone in the narrow carriage, Song Jin could still smell the lingering cool fragrance of Qin Chi, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and gently stroke his lips.

Thinking back to that kiss just now...

My heart couldn't help but beat faster, and a strange feeling spread in my heart.

"Uncle Li, do you think my husband can pass the exam?" Song Jin held her burning cheeks with both hands and quickly found someone to talk to.

This strange and unfamiliar feeling.

This has never happened in the previous life.

This made Song Jin feel at a loss for a moment.

Old Li said firmly, "Madam, don't forget, you are a top scholar. Not only is he well-read, but he is also very talented. A mere entrance exam will not be a problem for you."

Seeing Song Jin remained silent.

Old Li added: "What we need to think about is which class the young master will be assigned to. We just don't know how many years the young master wants to study."

"How many years he wants to study depends on his attitude?" Song Jin was a little confused.

"Of course. Entrance exam, placement into classes based on grades, promotion and assessment..."

The Imperial Academy was an important official institution of higher learning with very strict academic system and levels.

In terms of the school system, the Imperial College's school system is divided into three, nine and eighteen years. Students need to complete all studies according to the prescribed school system before they can graduate.

Capable students can also apply for early graduation, provided they pass rigorous assessments.

Therefore, Old Li said he would see what Qin Chi thought.

Song Jin didn't know, but Old Li knew that among the teachers who taught Qin Chi since he was a child, there were many powerful figures, who were arranged by Prince Rui and Prince Pu respectively.

Things to learn in the Imperial College.

Qin Chi started learning since he was a child.

Song Jin went to Liu's Clinic on West Street. The carriage was parked at the side door of the clinic. He knocked on the door, identified himself, and entered the processing room at the back.

"Madam Qin is here!"

A fat steward came up to him and said with his mouth opening and closing, "Master Liu can't handle all the herbs collected these two days. Your coming here can just relieve his pressure."

"The car manager is joking."

Song Jin smiled and replied as if he was embarrassed, "With Master Liu's ability, this amount of medicinal materials is definitely not a problem. You know, he was the only one who took care of the work in previous years. The most I can do is to help him."

"Madam Qin, please don't be so modest. Ambassador Liu from the Herbal Medicine Storehouse said that your skills are comparable to those of a master craftsman who has been working for decades."

The car manager said nice things for free.

Song Jin went into the warehouse and took a look.

Boy, she finally understood.

No wonder he praised her as soon as he arrived.

It turned out that the amount of herbs collected was twice as much as Song Jin had agreed to before! They were going to use her like a cow to squeeze her! Manager Che was not embarrassed at all, "I've been lucky recently and have collected a little more herbs. I'll have to trouble Madam Qin to share the preparation work."

"I'm sorry, Manager Car, I just want to take the amount we agreed on earlier."

Song Jin said with an embarrassed look on his face.

The car manager's face changed.

Before the traffic controller could speak, Song Jin explained, "You know I'm new here. This is a newly-arranged pharmacy, so the tools are not complete. I can only prepare a small amount of medicinal materials. I don't have the energy to prepare more."

"I see."

The car manager immediately changed his expression and decided immediately: "Madam Qin, you can prepare it here. We have all the tools and space here, and you don't have to move the herbs around."

Song Jin sneered in his heart but didn't show it on his face.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

What does it mean to stay here and cook it?

Did you really think she couldn't see the trick? However, Song Jin didn't expose the other party's intention, pretending not to see it and asked back:

"Manager Che, do you mean that I can use Master Liu's cooking room alone? If I use it, where will Master Liu get it? And how will the wages be calculated? This is a lot of money."

"Isn't there a ready-made one?"

The car manager pointed to the simple public workshop.

There were tools and stoves there, which were usually used by apprentices, two of whom were working there.

Then, no mention was made of wages.

Song Jin's face suddenly turned cold. "I don't know if the owner of the clinic wants to break the rules, or if the car manager is acting on his own. Whose craftsmanship doesn't avoid people? Are you bullying me because I'm young, or do you think I don't know the rules of the trade?"

"Don't listen to that grandson. Madam Qin can do whatever she wants."

At this time, an old man walked out of the house.

The old man had gray hair and droopy eye sockets, looking a little tired. There was a deep crack on the bridge of his nose, and coughs escaped from his thick lips from time to time.

He was wearing a plain grey cloth gown, the collar and cuffs slightly frayed from use.

The gown was filled with the scent of herbs and a hint of sweat.

A wide cloth belt was tied around his waist to facilitate his movements when preparing medicinal materials.

The hands were very rough, full of mottled marks from years of contact with medicinal herbs.

This person was none other than the old pharmacist named Liu.

The status of a craftsman has never been high. Even if he has superb skills, his life can only be slightly better.

Song Jin was introduced to the clinic to find a job. After people got to know her background, they found out that she was from another place and her husband was just a scholar. They began to exploit her without any scruples.

If you compromise once, you will be exploited by your boss countless times.

If Song Jin really worked for a living, he would indeed be caught. The problem was that Song Jin was not the one. The people who came to the clinic were also targeting Liu Jianfang.

This clinic belongs to the Liu family.

Master Liu is a cousin of Liu Bingzheng. Before Liu Jianfang entered the Imperial Medical Service, he would often come here to ask Master Liu for advice on his skills in preparing medicinal materials.

No matter why Master Liu defended Song Jin, it was beyond Song Jin's expectations.

The fat on the car manager's face twitched. "Mr. Liu, you can't do this. You can't handle all the new herbs collected in Curry by yourself. I just want to find someone to share the burden with you."

"What are you planning? Do you think I don't know?" Master Liu loves talented people.

The car manager was annoyed, but he had a playful smile on his face, "Old man, I can't help it."

After saying that, he winked at Master Liu.

Song Jin was speechless. Did he think she was blind?
