Chapter 178 Old Tan's Relatives



Lin Jinyue thought to herself, "This couple is really carefree. Come on over."

For some reason, Lin Jinyue couldn't help but glance at the guards behind the woman.

Well, her intuition told her that this guard was no ordinary person.

and……

They're so young!

She looks a little younger than her brother.

Seeing that she kept looking at him, Ye Feng kept his eyes straight ahead and followed them into the village.

The villagers knew there was no danger, so they went about their business and no one paid any attention to the adult in the scarlet official robes.

Lin Jinyue quickly called out to the school, "Mother, come quick, there's a sick person here!"

Lin Jinyue shouted, and Jiang Yun came out within two minutes.

A large group of female disciples followed behind her.

Jiang Yun quickly took her pulse, saying as she did so, "Qiaohua, go and get a bowl of medicine to help with the pregnancy, and add an extra ounce of ginseng slices. Chunhua, go and get my silver needles."

A group of people surrounded Jiang Yun.

While treating the patient, Jiang Yun also explained the situation to her apprentices and had several of her younger apprentices, who were skilled enough to practice medicine, take the pulse of the official's wife.

The villagers have become accustomed to it, regardless of the other person's identity or background.

Once you come to them, you're considered a patient, and you have to cooperate with Jiang Yun's teaching.

The lady didn't say anything.

However, the guards behind her were somewhat dissatisfied, saying, "How could you treat our lady like this?"

But soon, he was scolded by the middle-aged man behind him.

After Jiang Yun performed the acupuncture, Lin Jinyue said, "There is a shortage of female doctors these days, and my mother is overwhelmed by the situation. That's why we're planning to bring more female doctors with us. That's how we treat illnesses here. But I saw that Madam's condition was rather urgent and she was in pain, so I didn't say anything."

The man in official robes was quite gentle. "It's alright, it's just that my wife's health... she had a miscarriage before, and all the famous doctors said she's not suitable for pregnancy."

Jiang Yun: "It's alright, it will be fine after some treatment."

Lin Jinyue then remembered the official. "Sir, what brings you to our village?"

Xiao Fengling then said, "I'm looking for someone. Where are Tan Xue and her grandfather?"

Lin Jinyue's mind raced; it seemed that the old man was no ordinary person.

Lin Jinyue nodded. "At the school, I'll take you there."

As she spoke, she led her people toward the school.

Lin Jinyue led him to a grand courtyard with two floors. As they approached, they could hear the sound of students reading aloud.

Lin Jinyue thought for a moment, "The students should still be studying. Please wait a moment, sir, I will go and call them out."

Xiao Fengling fell silent.

This Yunhe Village is truly extraordinary.

As the governor of Lingnan, a fourth-rank official, everyone in the village was busy with their own things.

This girl just left him standing there.

However, Xiao Fengling only felt it was a little strange, but didn't really care.

Remembering that Yunhe Village had recently been supplying Gu Shao with a batch of military supplies, and that they were supposedly working tirelessly without sleep, this made sense.

Lin Jinyue went to each classroom to find Tan Xue and Teacher Tan.

Nowadays, not all women study medicine. Those who are interested continue to study, while those who are not very interested study the Four Books and Five Classics. If they have the energy, they can learn another skill.

Tan Xue studied medicine for a while, but couldn't learn it, so she gave up.

At first, Mr. Tan was not very happy about boys and girls going to school together, but after Lin Jinyue scolded him for being old-fashioned a few times, Mr. Tan reluctantly started teaching them.

It's not that he has masochistic tendencies.

Professor Tan signed a confidentiality agreement, so when Lin Jinyue was criticizing him, she could still cite classical texts and examples of female scholars and researchers who had made groundbreaking progress.

At the same time, he also showed Mr. Tan the story of how women in later generations could read and write just like boys and how they could develop in various industries.

Only then did Mr. Tan agree.

Lin Jinyue called to him from the doorway; Old Master Tan wanted to make Lin Jinyue practice calligraphy again.

Lin Jinyue said, "Grandpa Tan, someone is looking for us outside. They're wearing official robes and seem to be someone important."

Old Tan immediately realized who it was and frowned: "Let him go."

Then she added, "Please pass on another message for me: there is no way that Ah Xue and I will go with him."

Lin Jinyue found it strange, but didn't ask any further questions, and prepared to go outside to talk to that person.

However, remembering the pale-faced woman, she added, "Grandpa Tan, is that man here to take you away? He brought his pregnant wife with him, and I saw that the lady didn't look too good when she came back. Should we go and see her?"

Sure enough, Old Tan panicked immediately: "Is she alright? Is her life in danger? Oh, oh, take me there quickly!"

Tan is over sixty years old and has difficulty walking.

They were walking very fast, pulling Lin Jinyue along with them.

Lin Jinyue was afraid he would fall.

Thus, Xiao Fengling, who was waiting for Elder Tan at the academy gate, was once again ignored.

Xiao Fengling: ...

Never mind, he'll go and find out more about Tan Xue first.

The heir of the Marquis's mansion tried every means to escape, taking with him several boxes of treasures bestowed by the late emperor to find Tan Xue. There's also General Gu, with whom she had a previous marriage agreement; all of that needs to be clarified.

Xiao Fengling then randomly found an idle person and asked, "Could you help me call Tan Xue out? I'm her uncle."

The person Xiao Fengling called out to was Lin Gou Dan.

He has now changed his name to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was drawing and writing on the ground with a twig, calculating a particularly complex formula.

The answer exists, but it's difficult to deduce.

Lin Chen may be unreliable in other matters, but he is reliable in mathematics.

He did the calculations on the ground for no other reason than that each calculation involved a lot of work and consumed a lot of paper. Lin Chen used to use up a stack of paper every day.

He only earned a little over thirty coins a day, and he figured he might as well buy a beef rice bowl instead.

Let's just do it on the ground.

Lin Chen, having reached the crucial point, didn't even turn his head, saying, "Wait a minute, let me finish calculating first."

Xiao Fengling could tell that Tan Xue and his wife had been exchanging letters during this period, and some simple arithmetic had been mentioned.

Xiao Fengling can understand these Arabic numerals.

However, the formula is far too complicated.

There was a table nearby with a well-worn book on it. The book had Lin Chen's handwritten titles and served as his lesson plan, so it was quite simple.

Xiao Fengling didn't urge him, and instead flipped through a book on the side.

He could understand the first two pages, but the rest turned into gibberish.

At least when he was studying at the Imperial Academy, he was one of the best in mathematics.

Then look at the stack of calculated formulas on the ground.

He could understand a few simple steps, but why couldn't he understand them when they were put together?

At this moment, Xiao Fengling was too lazy to care about his niece's love affairs.

Grabbing Lin Chen's hand, he asked, "Do you want to become a teacher at the prefectural school?"

Lin Jinyue had just finished seeing Old Tan off when she overheard his words.

Lin Jinyue was somewhat displeased: "Sir, our village is treating you kindly, are you trying to steal my man?"
