Chapter 774 Wife Kiss
The hottest news in Jiangnan at the moment is still the little princess's practice of medicine, and everyone is also talking about what the little princess said that day.
After all, the prince and the little princess were both in Jiangnan at the moment, so everyone spoke very carefully at first, but as the alcohol started to take effect, they began to speak more casually and their voices gradually became louder.
Suddenly someone asked, "What do you think is the biggest change that the little princess and the medical department have brought to the world?"
Someone else asked, "A god descends to the world and makes people feel awe?"
"No," the man said, "Let all the doctors in the world leave the valley and move to Qiao."
Everyone couldn't help but be silent.
The man said, "In the past, if there was a choice between a scholar and a doctor, everyone wanted to be a scholar, not a doctor, no matter how good one was... But now, many people will not hesitate to let their children learn medicine when they are not good at studying. I don't know if it will be comparable to the imperial examination in the future."
"I don't think so." A clear young man said, "Everything should be done in moderation. It's just right now. If everyone is really eager to learn medical skills, it may not be a good thing."
"Why?"
The young man said, "The difference between studying and medicine is that, apart from spending some money, studying is indeed beneficial to people. Reading can help you understand things. Even if you can't even pass the exam to become a student, just knowing how to read is much better than not knowing how to read. As for medicine, you can't learn it just by reading medical books. You have to really practice medicine, and even if you really practice medicine, you may not succeed... If you fail, it will not benefit you and may even harm others."
"Minglei's words are insightful, and it is indeed true."
“If you only work to make a living, you can’t be a true doctor.”
"There's no shortage of miracle doctors, but does the world really need so many ordinary doctors? Anyway, I've never encountered a situation where I couldn't find a doctor when I went to see one."
Everyone was talking at once.
Hao Huashi smiled and mouthed to everyone: "Little brother."
What he meant was that this man named "Ming Lei" was the young man from before. He probably guessed their identities and said these words deliberately for them to hear.
In fact, this statement is not wrong.
Xinbao's Imperial Pharmacy began to promote ready-made medicines. In fact, a big part of the reason was that they were worried that the quality of folk doctors varied... As for the subtle changes in everyone's concepts, they had never thought about it.
As a few people were talking, two more people came in from outside.
Many people stood up and greeted: "Zhiran, Brother Cheng!"
The two sides exchanged pleasantries.
Then after a few words, they returned to the previous topic.
The "Zhi Ran" said with a smile: "The little princess is a natural genius, that's true. She is young, but she has great presence, and in terms of medicine, no one can match her... I heard that Wu Xiurong was refuted by her and felt ashamed!"
When others asked him about it, he just spoke with a smile.
Several people looked at each other.
This "Zhi Ran" is too obvious, every sentence is a compliment, it doesn't sound like a normal chat at all.
I guess he heard someone say they were here and rushed here on short notice.
Yan Qingshan and his friends lost interest and started chatting idly, no longer paying attention to what was happening below.
It was not until it got dark outside and the lights in the shop were brightly lit that a woman holding a pipa slowly walked up to the platform in the middle of the first floor.
This is just a restaurant, not a brothel, and the woman is not dressed too coolly. She looks quite elegant as she holds the pipa.
When Xinbao eats, he typically only eats the first half. Once he sits at the table, he concentrates on eating and stops eating after he finishes the meal.
So she had finished eating at this moment, and when she saw a pretty girl playing the pipa, she was immediately interested. She moved a stool and sat next to the railing, crossed her arms, rested her chin on them, and waited eagerly.
Yuan Shenjue had not finished eating yet, but Hao Huashi had almost finished eating. He also moved a stool over, crossed his legs and sat beside him to crack melon seeds for Tuanzi.
The Pipa girl sat down, lowered her head and closed her eyes, and gently plucked the strings, making a ding-dong sound...
Hao Huashi casually stuffed a melon seed into the little master's mouth, glanced down, and curled his lips slightly.
They sat by the railing, and it was normal for him to glance down, but he had to keep an eye on them all the time and didn't dare let them see him looking...that would be a bit strange.
It seems that there are really a few people waiting to catch them.
Xinbao didn't pay any attention and listened with great interest.
She actually doesn't understand music, she just wants to listen to the sound, but when she sees a beautiful woman holding the pipa, she thinks it is really beautiful. If she is beautiful, even playing cotton strings sounds nice.
After one piece of music was played, there were a few scattered applause.
Xinbao wanted to clap politely, but was pulled away by Hao Huashi without a word.
Suddenly, a young man in fancy clothes, who seemed a little drunk, staggered onto the stage, took the pipa from the woman's hand, and said loudly, "Borrow it for a moment!"
The Pipa girl was surprised and said, "This gentleman..."
The young man waved his hand, signaling her to go down, then sat down on the stage. He raised his hand slightly, and let his wide sleeves slide down. He flicked his fingertips, and a clanging sound suddenly rang out... Compared to the lingering song just now, this one was obviously much more high-pitched and intense.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Someone asked, "'Take the Goose'?"
The others nodded and listened quietly.
Nowadays, there are very few men who can play the pipa, but this man played it quite well. Even a layman like Xinbao thought it sounded nice, as if he suddenly understood what "water splashed out from the silver bottle when it broke, and swords and guns rang out when the iron cavalry rushed out" meant.
Yuan Shenjue also finished eating. He stood beside Xinbao and whispered, "This song is called Haiqing Capturing the Swan. Haiqing is also called Haidongqing, a bird of prey that many herdsmen use for hunting. This song is about the fierce fight between Haidongqing and the swan, and the final victory."
Xinbao was surprised: "My wife is amazing. She knows everything."
"I'm not that good," Yuan Shenjue said calmly, "What's the use of knowing? I can't play it."
Xinbao blinked his big eyes and felt that it was a bit difficult to talk to his wife today.
Luckily, she had a trump card: "Wife kiss."
Yuan Shenjue said: "No."
Xinbao was stunned for a moment, and thought for a moment: "Then give me a small kiss."
Yuan Shenjue: “…”
He bent down somewhat helplessly and let Tuanzi give him a small kiss...
During this process, neither of them noticed that the pipa music on the stage had finished. The pipa man quickly glanced over here, then pretended to be drunk and staggered down.
After Xinbao and his group finished their meal, they got on the carriage and left.
The next day, Hao Huashi came back excitedly: "Guess how many people came to the restaurant last night just for us?"
Madam Lin was very supportive: "Three."
"That's right!" Hao Huashi said, "There are three. Guess which three they are?"
Madam Lin said, "That Minglei, and Ranzhi, and the one who plays the pipa."
Hao Huashi smiled and said, "Oh yeah, two of them. One is called Sun Zhiran, the one who plays the pipa is called Feng Nian, and the other Minglei is called Shi Minglei, but he's not... The other one didn't find a chance to show up, but I saw him, and his last name seems to be Wu."
Madam Lin nodded and asked Xinbao: "Xinbao, shall we go shopping for clothes today?"
Xinbao was surprised and asked, "With so many people watching you, you still want to go out?"
