"I want Chengyu to study medicine with me, what do you think?" Dr. Meng's words were astonishing.

It turned out that it was not a matter of marriage, Jiang Wanbai breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought carefully about his words.

Seeing Jiang Wanbai's hesitation, Dr. Meng continued: "I won't tell you, I only have three daughters in my family, and now that the eldest daughter and the second daughter have been married, there is only fruit left in the family."

However, Guo'er is a girl, and it is not convenient to study medicine, so I have always wanted to find a suitable disciple to pass on this medical skill to him.

It's a pity that I haven't been able to find it until I met Chengyu today. I think he was given to me by God, and he is smart, sensible, and industrious.

It is said that when you are three years old and see you old, I think Chengyu will definitely not be wrong in the future. The more Dr. Meng spoke, the more satisfied he became, as if he had become Tian Chengyu's master and was boasting about himself.

I also think that Chengyu can't be wrong in the future, and I still need you to say it, Jiang Wanbai muttered in her heart, but after listening to Doctor Meng's words, her heart, which was still a little shaken, was immediately cut off.

It's good to study medicine, but looking at Dr. Meng's meaning, he basically cultivates Tian Chengyu as his son-in-law, she can see it, she doesn't believe that other people in the village can't see it.

People are terrible, if everyone acquiesces that Tian Chengyu is Dr. Meng's son-in-law, then in the future, if Tian Chengyu doesn't like Meng Guoer, then he will not be in a dilemma.

If he doesn't marry Meng Guoer, he will inevitably end up with a wolf's infamy, and if he marries Meng Guoer, wouldn't it be another grudge couple.

"Doctor Meng, it stands to reason that you think so highly of Chengyu, I shouldn't refuse, but you also know that the Tian family lives far away from here, and Chengyu is small, so we really don't feel at ease.

Besides, although you don't have a son, there should be a lot of suitable children in the Meng clan, if you let outsiders know that you pass on your medical skills to outsiders and not to your own family, I'm afraid it won't have a good impact on you.

Another point is that although Chengyu and Guo'er are still young and have nothing to play together, in another two years, it will be time to avoid suspicion, and when the time comes, I am afraid it will be inconvenient. Jiang Wanbai said everything that might happen in the future, and it can be regarded as an indirect rejection of Dr. Meng.

Dr. Meng's face was a little unsightly, too, no matter whose abacus was broken and said it so clearly, no one's mood would be better.

I had the heart to get up and leave, but after all, I was a little unwilling to give up such a good seedling as Tian Chengyu, and Dr. Meng's body didn't move.

In fact, he wanted to accept Tian Chengyu as an apprentice, on the one hand, he really planned to let Tian Chengyu be his son-in-law, on the other hand, he really liked Tian Chengyu's piece of jade and wanted to pass on the mantle to him.

It's best if you can kill two birds with one stone, but if you can't......

Seeing that Jiang Wanbai would not let go, Dr. Meng decided to take a step back first, "You said that Chengyu is young and the Tian family lives far away, in fact, I think you can let Chengyu live in the Zhang family."

In this way, he can not only come to me to study medicine, but also read and write with Yuanshu. Yuan Shu is also a Xiucai background, and he is Chengyu's uncle, teaching him will definitely give him all his money, isn't it better than going to a private school?

And you said about my medical inheritance, you have been thinking too much about this matter. I'm not the only doctor in the village, my eldest brother is too, so I accept Chengyu as a disciple, and others won't gossip.

Finally, about Guo'er," Dr. Meng paused at this point, "As you said, both of them are still young now, and who can say for sure what will happen in the future." However, I promise you, if they don't have fate in the future, I will definitely not force them.

Even, if necessary, I can come forward to testify that I have only a master-apprentice relationship with Chengyu, and I will protect Chengyu as much as I can. You see, that should be fine! Dr. Meng's last sentence was almost said through gritted teeth.

Doctor Meng's words have come to this point, Jiang Wanbai refuses again, it will be a slap in the face, and one of the things he said moved Jiang Wanbai, that is, Tian Chengyu lives in Zhang's house.

She originally planned to let Tian Chengyu go to a private school, but the closest private school to their home was the one in the town, several kilometers away from home, Tian Chengyu ran back and forth every day, I was afraid that he would suffer, and there were so many students in the private school, where could the teacher take care of it.

In Zhang's house, it is different, this is like the difference between a large pot of rice and a small stove, and the quality of the small stove will obviously be much better.

As for Meng Guoer's matter, it's not too late to say it two years earlier, and then explain to Dr. Meng that with his guarantee today, he won't say anything embarrassing at that time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanbai smiled and said, "I'm embarrassed to say that." It's Chengyu's blessing to be able to study medicine with you, but I still have to discuss it with the third couple and Chengyu.

Besides, now that the Zhang family is in a difficult situation, Chengyu is afraid that coming over will cause trouble for them, and this matter must also be discussed with Yuan Shu.

You see, it's better to do this, and when we discuss it here, I'll tell you how about it? Jiang Wanbai politely agreed with Dr. Meng's words, but she didn't say it too hard, leaving room for repentance.

Doctor Meng was a little disappointed that he didn't directly get Jiang Wanbai's affirmation, but he also knew that Jiang Wanbai was telling the truth, and this matter couldn't be rushed, so he could only sigh and say, "Then I'll wait for your good news." ”

Jiang Wanbai smiled noncommittally, and then led Dr. Meng to talk about other gossip. After saying that, Tian Chengyu and Meng Guo'er walked in from outside side by side.

While the two were walking, Meng Guoer seemed to be talking to Tian Chengyu, but Tian Chengyu didn't seem to be in a good mood and didn't look interested.

As soon as Doctor Meng saw that Meng Guo'er was back, he got up and said goodbye to Jiang Wanbai.

Jiang Wanbai naturally wanted to keep them here to eat, but Dr. Meng refused on the grounds that the Zhang family was also busy now and his house was not far from here, so Jiang Wanbai had no choice but to send them to the door.

When Meng Guo'er was leaving, she turned around and asked Tian Chengyu, "Are you still there in the afternoon, if so, can I come to play with you?" ”

Tian Chengyu listened, turned his head to look at Jiang Wanbai, Jiang Wanbai hurriedly smiled and said, "You come early in the afternoon, we should still be there." ”

"Okay, I'll come early." After Meng Guo'er finished speaking, she happily took Dr. Meng's hand and left.

Seeing the Meng family's father and daughter leave, Jiang Wanbai looked back at Tian Chengyu, only to see him frowning, looking not very happy, she immediately became interested, and joked with a smile Tian Chengyu, "What, don't you like Guo'er to come to you to play, or are you reluctant to let Guo'er go?" ”

Tian Chengyu's little brows furrowed even tighter, "It's not her, it's the little river." I thought there would be shrimp in that river, so we could make a lot of shrimp paste, earn a lot of silver, and treat my grandfather, but ......"

Speaking of this, his brows were almost wrinkled together, "That river is not as high as my knees, and I can count the small shrimp in it with my fingers." ”

It turns out that this is the case, this child is worried about the family's livelihood, which makes Jiang Wanbai not know whether to be moved or distressed, she patted Tian Chengyu's head with a smile, she smiled: "Okay, don't be worried, like a little old man."

You don't have to worry about the affairs of the family. Don't worry, I've got you! ”

Tian Chengyu looked up and saw Jiang Wanbai's bright smile, which was like the sun, bright and warm, enough to dispel all the sorrow in his heart.

Nodding with a smile, Tian Chengyu took out a lotus leaf bag from his arms and opened the lotus leaf, which was the clean handkerchief that was washed, "Milk, I'll go and dry this handkerchief, now that the sun is full, it is estimated that it will be dry in a while." ”

"Okay, let's go, it's time to eat in a moment." Jiang Wanbai said. Not long after the group of them came out of Mr. Zhang's house just now, Zhang went to cook with Tian Laosan, and it is estimated that it should be almost good now.

Tian Chengyu agreed and ran into the yard, while Jiang Wanbai slowly paced into the yard. There's no way, this body is old, and she always has to worry about whether her body is not.

Didn't you see the news that those old people fell down while walking, and then broke their legs or fell to death directly, she didn't want to make herself so miserable, so let's take it slowly.

Stepping into the courtyard, a light aroma immediately came to the face, which made people feel refreshed.

What kind of flower is this so good, Jiang Wan said in a white heart, she smelled this fragrance the first time she saw the Zhang family, but she was busy all the time, and she didn't have time to ask.

Looking around the yard, I saw a pergola built on the left side of the yard, which was used for cooking, and on the edge of the pergola was a clump of grass jasmine, and there were a few bright red impatiens in the middle of the grass jasmine.

The right side of the yard by the window is a grape trellis, and in front of the grape trellis is a canna, which is very luxuriant and a little messy, and it can be seen that the owner is not very careful.

After reading all the flowers, Jiang Wanbai was a little strange, this grass jasmine will not bloom until the evening, and the impatiens will not be so fragrant at all, as for those cannas, they dare to grow buds just now, it should not be it, so where does this fragrance come from?

Just when Jiang Wanbai was puzzled, Zhang came over and said respectfully: "Mother, the meal is ready, do you want to go to dinner?" Zhang's eyes were still swollen, and his voice was a little hoarse, looking so pitiful.

"Do you smell the scent in this yard, where does it come from?" Jiang Wanbai asked Zhang.

Zhang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Jiang Wanbai to ask her this question. After she was stunned, she thought for a moment, as if she was remembering something, and then looked around the courtyard, as if trying to find out the source of the scent.

But after she looked around, she seemed to be like Jiang Wanbai, and she didn't find anything abnormal.

Jiang Wanbai saw that she didn't know, so she said, "Forget it, let's go eat!" So saying, she walked forward.

But Zhang didn't seem to hear it, and stood there thinking about it.

This yard was bought by the Zhang family a few years ago, but she felt that the fragrance coincided with a certain smell in her memory, which was the kind of smell she often smelled in the Zhang family's mansion when she was a child.

What is it, the kind of thing that Zhang Shijue has on his lips, but he can't remember it, which makes her anxious.

Looking to the side again, the branches and leaves of the canna trees were fat, covering almost the entire space, and there was nothing abnormal.

No, Zhang suddenly moved her gaze to a slender leaf that stretched out diagonally, the leaf was only two fingers thick, almost completely hidden behind the canna's leaf, no wonder she didn't see it at first.

"Mother, I remember, it's the fragrance of the flowers." Zhang pointed to the corner of the wall and said with some excitement, "That flower was at home when I was a child, but I didn't expect my brother to move here, and he also moved this flower over, and put it in the corner, I didn't expect it for a while." ”

Jiang Wanbai listened and looked towards the corner, but she looked left and right, but she didn't find anything abnormal, so she looked at Zhang suspiciously.

Zhang's face was a little red, and he hurriedly walked over, brushed aside those cannas, then bent down and took out a pot of flowers, turned to Jiang Wanbai and said, "That's it, there are still a few pots here, all of them were originally from our old mansion." ”

Jiang Wanbai looked into Zhang's arms, and saw that it was a flower pot painted with blue and white porcelain, and a plant grew in the flower pot.

The leaves of the plant were two fingers wide, thin, and slightly twisted, like the tail feathers of a large rooster, in a variant "S" shape.

Most of these leaves hang around the basin, and the center of the pot is like a round well, and in the center of the well, the flower stalk stands on it like a dragon spraying water.

On top of the flower stem, there are several white petals with a green halo, in the shape of a skylight.

As soon as this flower was brought out by Zhang's, the fragrance in the courtyard was two points stronger, and the fragrance was mellow and long-lasting.

This is...... As soon as Jiang Wanbai saw this plant, she immediately remembered what kind of fragrance she had been smelling, wasn't it orchid fragrance, clear but not turbid, a pot in the room, fragrant.

"Hand Pei Lan Rui is planted two or three times, and the sun is warm and the second is opened; I don't know the fragrance in the room for a long time, and there are butterflies flying when I push the window. "That's what it describes.

It turned out to be an orchid, and Jiang Wanbai was interested.

She likes orchids very much, and in modern times, she even went to the orchid exhibition to feast her eyes. Of course, it's just a blessing for the eyes, because of the price of those orchids, hehe, Jiang Wanbai Jue is the only two words that can express her mood when she sees the price.

Walking to Zhang's side, Jiang Wanbai looked at the orchid carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and the more she looked at it, the more excited she became, because she seemed to know the variety of this orchid.

Dafengsu, a variety of the four seasons orchid, even in the modern era, the cultivation technology is very powerful, it is also a very valuable variety, and in ancient times, it is even more amazing, to borrow an ancient saying, that is, "the world is not eager to rush".

Even Zhang Yu of the Ming Dynasty specially inscribed a poem for it, "The weeping dew is chaotic, and the wind shadow is oblique." The laity understands this, and looks at the leaves and flowers. "It's said that the shape of its leaves is more beautiful than that of flowers.

"This flower is ......" Jiang Wanbai's voice was a little unstable, and she felt as if she had accidentally discovered something amazing.

Seeing that Jiang Wanbai was so excited, Zhang was a little uneasy, and quickly explained: "It seems to be called an orchid, but I don't know very well." I've been growing up at home since I was a child, and I've always kept it there, and I don't know when I started having it. ”

After speaking, she sighed, a little sad, "I guess there are only these pots of flowers in the old things at home!" ”

"You didn't think about trading it for money?" As soon as Jiang Wanbai finished asking, she knew that her question was redundant. If the Zhang family knew that this flower was valuable, it is estimated that they would have exchanged it for money a long time ago, and they would have waited until now.

Sure enough, Zhang's head was confused, "This flower can also be exchanged for money?" ”

Jiang Wanbai was about to answer, but suddenly it occurred to her that maybe it wasn't that the Zhang family hadn't thought about exchanging this flower for money, but that this flower was not worth anything at all, after all, this was not modern, nor was it the ancient she knew.

Although she thinks this possibility is very small, but it is too cruel to give people hope and hope to be dashed or something, so she better be safe.

Shaking her head, Jiang Wanbai said, "I'm not sure now." ”

The little expectation that Zhang had just raised immediately disappeared, but she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but if Jiang Wanbai told her that the money was very valuable, she would find it hard to believe.

Jiang Wanbai didn't care about her, but walked a few steps to the corner to check the remaining orchids.

There are three pots in the corner, one pot is also Dafengsu, one pot is a golden silk horsetail, and the remaining pot Jiang Wanbai doesn't know what kind of variety it is, but it looks like it should be Su Xinlan, and since it is put together with these two pots, it shouldn't be an ordinary product.

Zhang also came back with the pot of Dafengsu at this time, glanced at the remaining three pots of flowers, and said: "There used to be six or seven pots at home, and there was a pot of flowers that could bloom three colors, and I liked that pot the most when I was a child." ”

It won't be a stunning three-star star! Jiang Wanbaijue's heart was beating a little fast, "What about those flowers?" ”

"That pot was broken when I was a child, and the rest is probably gone." Zhang didn't care.

Jiang Wanbai heard her say this, and felt that her few words, this casual tone, were simply stabbing her in the heart with a knife, hurting 10,000 points in an instant.

Now if anyone could see her heart, they would definitely be able to see her heart dripping blood, no, it was spurting blood, it was hurting her.

Tyrannical things, talking about the person in front of her, I just don't know if she knew how valuable this flower was, she could say it so easily, Jiang Wanbai thought unkindly.

"I heard that your ancestors were officials?" Jiang Wanbai decided to confirm her conjecture.

"Yes, I think I was a prefect." Zhang replied.

"This flower was also left over from that time!" Jiang Wanbai's heart was pounding, and she felt that she was not far from the answer she wanted to know.

Zhang frowned, "I don't know, but I remember my father once said that this flower has been there since he was a child, but it seemed to be more at that time." ”

After speaking, Zhang said as if he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, my father said that my grandfather once told him to take good care of these flowers." ”

"Then did your grandfather say why he should take good care of these flowers?" Jiang Wanbai Jue finally caught something, and hurriedly asked.

Zhang was taken aback by Jiang Wanbai's eager tone, and after thinking about it, she shook her head, "You may have to ask my father to find out." ”

Jiang Wanbai was a little disappointed that she didn't get an answer, but now she was eight points sure that this orchid was valuable, but she didn't know why the descendants of the Zhang family didn't know.

Maybe it was intentional by the ancestors, maybe there was an accident, but in any case, the ancestors of the Zhang family left a wealth to their descendants that could be brought back to life.

Just now, she was still thinking about how to make the Zhang family self-reliant, and now there is this orchid, which shows that there is no endless road. Fortunately, Zhang Yuanshu didn't listen to Dr. Meng's words, otherwise when the family had money, but his father was gone, wouldn't he regret dying.

Fortunately, fortunately, Jiang Wanbai smiled and didn't see her eyebrows, "Let's go, let's go eat." After a busy morning, she was already hungry with her chest pressed against her back.

The meal had already been set up, but Tian Laosan and they were all waiting for Jiang Wanbai, and as soon as Jiang Wanbai sat down, the meal officially began, and of course, one person had to be removed.

Zhang said that the porridge boiled on the stove had been boiled, and she wanted to feed her father a little food first, and of course, her brother Zhang Yuanshu.

The Zhang family wants to take care of the patient, Jiang Wanbai naturally will not object, and asks Tian Laosan to set aside a meal for the Zhang family, and everyone will eat.

After eating, Jiang Wanbai got up to see Mr. Zhang, she now has a stomach to say to Mr. Zhang, and I can't wait for Mr. Zhang to wake up immediately.

Walking outside the door of Old Man Zhang, Jiang Wanbai suddenly heard the sound of talking inside, and was immediately overjoyed, this Old Man Zhang seemed to be awake. But she was about to go in when she paused when she heard the conversation.

"Where did you get this rice and walnuts, you brought them back, right?" Old Man Zhang's voice was a little unstable, and he was weak.
