The three families started arguing again at home!
The fight over the division of the family property lasted all night and it still wasn't over.
The noise disturbed several families living nearby.
Many gossipy women came to the Tian family early in the morning to talk about it.
As for why we came to the Tian family's house?
Perhaps because the Tian family and the Xie family have the worst relationship, they both think this is a good place for gossip!
Grandma Tian and her family had just finished cleaning the pig offal they had brought back yesterday and were about to put it in the pot when a group of women came over.
She rushed over to greet them.
When the women saw the Tian family preparing pig offal, which smelled absolutely terrible, they all asked the eldest son of the Tian family how he was making this stuff.
They even tried to persuade Grandma Tian that this stuff was inedible!
Grandma Tian just smiled and didn't respond. Instead, she asked them why they had come and tried to pull them inside to talk.
The women were disgusted by the smell of pig offal and had no desire to go inside; they all said they would just chat in the yard.
They had barely exchanged a few words when someone arrived at the door. "Excuse me, is this the Tian family's residence?"
The women and children in the courtyard all looked over and saw a middle-aged man wearing a long gown and carrying two wooden boxes standing at the door.
The man also saw the group.
The man felt a little embarrassed to be stared at by so many eyes, especially women and children.
He gave everyone an awkward smile and quickly asked the same question again, "Excuse me, where is this place...?"
He hadn't finished speaking.
She first saw the old lady of the Tian family standing at the back of the crowd. She paused slightly before she could speak, and then quickly ran over.
"Oh dear, we've finally found you, madam!"
Grandma Tian was a little confused?
The man then explained, "It's me, Madam. A few days ago at the government office, our master suddenly fainted..."
"General Cui summoned me to provide medical assistance!"
When he said that, Old Lady Tian remembered!
When they found the old man at the government office, he was on the verge of death and had suddenly fainted. General Cui helped to call a doctor.
It was the person standing right in front of me…
Dr. Shi!
At the same time, the old lady also remembered that when Dr. Shi said the old man was beyond saving, Guoguo said she could still save him!
Dr. Shi didn't believe it, and they almost got into an argument.
General Cui said: Whether or not we can save them will be known in a month.
Could it be...?
Grandma Tian's first thought was: Is Dr. Shi here to check on the old man's condition?
She couldn't let him see the old man!
Otherwise, Guoguo's medical skills would be exposed! Little did they know, Doctor Shi immediately asked, "Madam, is my teacher... oh no, is our little Guoguo at home?"
It was quite a coincidence.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Guoguo swayed out of the house.
The little guy just woke up.
To be precise, she was awakened by the pungent yet fragrant smell coming from the kitchen.
"Get up and wash your little paws, time for some meat!" But before she could reach the water tank, a middle-aged man blocked her way, and his first words were...
"Master!"
Tian Guoguo?
Like her grandmother, Xiao Guoguo was also confused.
Seeing her dazed expression, Doctor Shi thought she had forgotten him and quickly explained, "It's me, Master..."
"We just met yesterday!"
"exist…"
As he was speaking, Old Man Tian, who had followed Tian Guoguo out the door, quickly ran over and pushed him away, saying, "Bad man, don't bully Guoguo!"
Well, it turns out this was a misunderstanding!
Dr. Shi hurriedly tried to explain, "No, I..."
Then they suddenly discovered that although the old man from the Tian family had improved a lot in terms of physical health, his mind had not yet recovered.
His explanation was useless! So he said to Xiao Guoguo, "Master, please listen to me. I'm not a bad person. I only came here because I wanted to become your disciple."
"Look, I've also prepared a gift for the apprenticeship ceremony."
As he spoke, he quickly opened the wooden box in his hand.
"Although it's not particularly valuable, these are the gold needles that His Majesty bestowed upon me when I was in the Imperial Hospital!"
"This pulse pillow is also made of gold thread!"
"And this small medicine box, although it is not made of gold, is made of the finest sandalwood."
"Not only is it durable, but it also has a faint, pleasant fragrance!"
"Putting it in the room helps with sleep!"
"And this..."
Doctor Shi took out the bottommost round jade pendant and presented it to Tian Guoguo with both hands, adding, "This is a jade pendant from Peach Blossom Studio."
"With this jade token, Master can buy any pastries at Peach Blossom Pavilion for free!"
Tian Guoguo!!
To be honest, Tian Guoguo was stunned when she first saw that set of gold needles!
Behind them were gold-threaded pulse pillows, gold-threaded sandalwood medicine chests, and jade plaques from pastry shops…
Even if we don't go to a pastry shop, this jade pendant alone must be worth a lot of money, right?
Quick, wipe your drool!
Doctor Shi seized the opportunity and quickly knelt down to perform the apprenticeship ceremony for her, saying, "Master, please accept my bow!"
This is a genuine kneeling.
The women and children present were all dumbfounded.
Grandma Tian finally understood that Doctor Shi had known about Guoguo's medical skills all along, and that's why he came today!
She was about to run over to Doctor Shi and tell him that her Guoguo was too young and she wouldn't take on any apprentices.
Furthermore, don't you even consider how old you are?
Call me Master Milk Dumpling...
Don't you feel ashamed?
Tian Guoguo ran to her side first, stretching out her little paws for a hug.
Grandma Tian quickly picked up her granddaughter and heard her whisper a few words in her ear. The old lady was slightly stunned.
Suddenly, I couldn't say what I wanted to say.
After settling the old lady down, Tian Guoguo jumped down from her grandmother's arms and walked to Dr. Shi's side, patting his hand.
In a childish voice, she replied, "Get up."
Doctor Shi was slightly taken aback.
I can hardly believe that I became an apprentice so easily today?
Until I saw Tian Guoguo put the gold needles, pulse pillow, and jade pendant into the medicine box, and then clumsily carry the medicine box back...
Doctor Shi finally realized that he had been accepted as a disciple by his master!
The old man was incredibly excited!
But then he remembered there were many people around, and he was already quite old, so he couldn't make it too obvious!
He suppressed his excitement and hurried over to help his master carry things!
Tian Guoguo doesn't need him to carry her!
The little hand slapped away Doctor Shi's groping hand, "I can do it myself!"
Although the first-aid kit wasn't big, it was still quite heavy for her small, rickety body.
Then…
Let's find Grandma!
She carried her medicine box to her grandmother's side and asked for her help.
Grandma Tian was both amused and exasperated.
Her granddaughter was afraid that Dr. Shi would change his mind and take the things back!
Helplessly tapping her granddaughter's forehead from a distance, she jokingly scolded her for being such a little money-grubber, and then quickly invited Dr. Shi to come inside!
Dr. Shi could also smell the odor from the kitchen.
But he didn't mind and quickly followed me into the house.
Some of the women and children in the courtyard had come from Anping Village to see what was going on. Some of them knew Doctor Shi, but they hadn't recognized him before.
Until I heard the old lady call for Doctor Shi…
A woman immediately realized, "Oh dear, isn't that Doctor Shi from Pingrentang?"
The women of Qingshan Village did not know who Doctor Shi was.
The woman from Anping Village explained, "Doctor Shi used to be a royal physician, but he has now resigned and practices medicine at Pingrentang in the outer city!"
"His medical skills are amazing!"
“In our outer city, there are very few doctors who can compare to him!”
The woman was praising Doctor Shi enthusiastically, but what she heard was unseen by the women of Qingshan Village.
