Chapter 686: You are the young master, right?
In the bookstore.
Looking at Lin Wangchen flipping through a medical book, Gu Xiu Niang asked hesitantly, "Chen'er...are you really not going to take the imperial examinations in the future and only study medicine?"
"Mom, do you want me to take the imperial examination?" Lin Wangchen put down the torn medical book in his hand and asked.
Gu Xiu Niang didn't answer, but simply said, "Madam didn't enslave us, mother and son. If you want to take the imperial examination..."
Lin Wangchen shook his head and said, "Mom, I want to take the exam for the Imperial Medical Bureau in the future."
"The Imperial Medical Bureau?" A look of surprise appeared on Gu Xiu Niang's face.
She thought that since her son would not take the imperial examination, he would never have to deal with officialdom in his life.
Although the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau did not participate in politics, they did have ranks.
Although he did not enter the officialdom, he had close ties with the palace and the families of officials.
Lin Wangchen nodded, a determined expression on his face.
"Mother, the Imperial Medical Bureau mainly provides consultations for the nobles in the palace. I'm thinking about the future..."
Lin Wangchen paused here and changed his tone.
He added, "My son has made up his mind. I hope you will agree to it."
Lin Wangchen looked at Gu Xiu Niang with eyes full of earnestness.
A gentle look appeared on Gu Xiu Niang's face as she looked at Lin Wangchen lovingly.
"Since you have made up your mind, then study medicine well. Your life was saved by the young lady. Although the young lady is a skilled doctor, a doctor cannot heal himself. You must never forget this in the future. You must repay the young lady's kindness."
"Mom, I know!"
Lin Wangchen nodded solemnly.
This is exactly the purpose of his studying medicine!
Lin Wangchen selected several basic medical books in the bookstore.
There was no way, what Doctor Wang taught him was all advanced knowledge.
The most basic things are not there.
He wanted to take the exam for the Imperial Medical Bureau, so he needed to learn some theoretical concepts from these books.
Gu Xiu Niang and her son walked out of the bookstore. Lin Wangchen glanced at the wooden hairpin on Gu Xiu Niang's head and said, "Mother, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion. It's time for you to buy some jewelry..."
"Young Master! Are you the young master?"
A shocked and uncertain voice interrupted Lin Wangchen.
Lin Wangchen's expression changed and he looked at the person who spoke.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was pushing a wooden wheelbarrow.
Needles, thread and other items were placed on the wooden wheelbarrow.
He looks like a peddler walking around the streets.
At this time, the peddler looked at Lin Wangchen with a face full of surprise and suspicion.
Lin Wangchen said coldly: "You've got the wrong person, I'm not your young master!"
After saying that, he looked at the ancient embroiderer.
"Mom, let's go."
Gu Xiu Niang nodded.
When the peddler saw this, he put down his wooden cart and stood in front of the two men.
"Young Master, has something happened to you that made you forget who you are?" The peddler asked suspiciously, "Your surname is Lin, and you're from the Duke of Yingguo Mansion, no, you're the only son of the Lin family in the capital. Although I haven't seen you for a few years, you look a lot like Third Master..."
Lin Wangchen frowned and said in a cold voice, "There are many people in the world who look alike! I've said before, I'm not your young master, and I haven't forgotten who I am!"
"No, how is that possible?" The peddler said desperately, "Young Master, you probably don't know that my master has been asking me to search for you everywhere around Fengqi County for years. I set up a peddler's stall and walked the streets just to find you..."
"Uncle, I'm just a servant. I'm not worthy of being your noble young master. Please move aside!" Lin Wangchen's voice became increasingly cold.
"But……"
"My dear brother, this is my son. You have the wrong person." said the ancient embroiderer.
The peddler looked at Gu Embroidery Lady, then at Lin Wangchen, and hesitantly stepped aside.
Lin Wangchen supported the ancient embroiderer and walked past the peddler with a cold face.
The peddler looked at Lin Wangchen's back, touched his head, and muttered to himself: "Why are they so similar? Even the back looks like Third Master when he was a teenager... No! I have to go back to Beijing and tell the master..."
A quarter of an hour later, in the Treasure Pavilion.
Lin Wangchen asked the shop assistant to bring him an exquisite silver hairpin.
"This young master has good taste. Although this hairpin is made of silver, it was made by a master. Look at the workmanship..."
The clerk introduced the product incessantly, fearing that the customer would give up because of the high price of the silver hairpin, which was comparable to that of a gold hairpin.
Lin Wangchen naturally saw that the silver hairpin was of good workmanship, so he chose this one.
Speaking of which, Gu Xiu Niang has saved a lot of money in the Su family over the years.
Although, she always considers herself as an inferior.
However, the Su family never treated her as a servant, but as a family member.
The Su family gave her a reasonable price for all the embroidery she made.
In addition, as an apprentice, Tang Bao would give gifts to the ancient embroidery lady during various festivals.
Gu Xiu Niang is no longer the person who sold herself for ten taels of silver.
"Mom, let me try it on you." Lin Wangchen held the hairpin with a very satisfied expression.
Gu Xiu Niang said with some distress: "No need, I am so old, why waste such money?"
It would be better to save it and buy a few more books for my son.
Lin Wangchen immediately understood what Gu Xiu Niang meant, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.
Then he took out a silver ingot from his pocket and gave it directly to the clerk.
"We bought it." Lin Wangchen said.
"Okay, Master."
The clerk walked away with the silver ingot, smiling happily.
Seeing this, although Gu Xiu Niang felt a little distressed, she was more relieved.
Lin Wangchen inserted the silver hairpin into Gu Xiu Niang's hair and said, "Mother, thank you for your hard work over the years."
"It's not hard for mother. As long as you grow up safely and healthily, mother will be satisfied." The ancient embroidery lady patted Lin Wangchen's hand and said.
After hearing what Gu Xiu Niang said, Lin Wangchen's eyes turned slightly red.
"Mom, actually... Uncle Lin is a good man. You and Uncle Lin..."
Lin Wangchen paused here.
"Son...I'm happy to call Uncle Lin daddy."
Gu Xiuniang's expression changed.
"Chen'er, what are you talking about?" Gu Xiu Niang said with a bitter heart, "How can someone of my status be worthy of Brother Lin?"
"Mother, you..."
"Chen'er, you don't understand."
Gu Xiu Niang shook her head and interrupted Lin Wangchen.
"Okay, accompany me to the cloth shop to see if there is any suitable material to make you two sets of summer clothes..."
After saying that, he was the first to walk out of the Treasure Pavilion.
Lin Wangchen opened his mouth, looked at Gu Xiu Niang's somewhat dejected back, but in the end said nothing.
He could sense that both his mother and Uncle Lin had concerns.
Although, he didn't understand what they were worried about.
Maybe...it's just because he...
Lin Wangchen thought of the peddler he had just met.
His eyes couldn't help but darken.
