Chapter 43: Half-day Medicine and Half Menstruation
"Is Xu Xiaoyou there?" Cheng Fang's familiar voice sounded, and everyone looked up, only to see Cheng Fang open the blue cloth curtain at the door, and walked in from outside the door with a smile.
"Master Cheng, you still have a day's supply of this medicine, why did you come over so early today?" Xu Xuan, who was cleaning up the counter, asked suspiciously.
Cheng Fang smiled and pointed to Wang Fengshan who was sitting on the chair, "I didn't hear that your master is back, so I made a special trip." ”
After that, he sat on the chair opposite Wang Fengshan, "Doctor Wang, the old man has something to discuss with you."
Wang Fengshan put down the account book, and said to Cheng Fang, "This must be Cheng Fang Cheng Bachelor, I don't know what to look for?" ”
Cheng Fang glanced at Xu Xuan, "I came to Qingyutang this time to have a personal relationship with Dr. Wang, Xu Xuan, this child, bold and careful, flexible brain, I want to take it away and pass on my mantle"
"Master Cheng, in fact, you shouldn't ask me, this apprenticeship, you still have to ask Xu Xuan's meaning, if he wants to study Confucianism with you, then I will definitely not stop you" Wang Fengshan said indifferently.
This Cheng Fang said, "Brother Wang, don't shirk it so simply, so let's discuss it well, how about it?" ”
After that, he knelt on the table and muttered to Wang Fengshan in a low voice, but after a while, Wang Fengshan raised his head, looked at Xu Xuan and said, "Xu Xuanyi, although it is said that we can learn medicine to read and write, but it is good to read a little book, but recently you also know that the master has something to do, and the things he teaches you are a little delayed.
"But master, I still want to follow you to learn to see a doctor and save people" Xu Xuan hurriedly said, just kidding, Wang Fengshan is in charge of food and housing here, although he has to do a lot of work, but there is just a little work every day, and after doing it, you can also read a lot of medical books carefully collected by Wang Fengshan for free here, where to find such a good place?
"Haha, did you say that if you follow me to study, you can't study medicine with Dr. Wang, just now I discussed with Dr. Wang, I studied medicine in the medical hall every day, and in the afternoon, I read with me to learn the truth of life. These two don't delay," Cheng Fang said with a faint smile.
"Don't worry, in our medical center, you are still an apprentice, just spend half a day learning some Confucian classics," Wang Fengshan also said on the side.
"Since the master and Mr. have already discussed, which kid will trouble Master Cheng" Xu Xuan didn't understand where he looked at this, these two had made up their minds, and they had to obey if they didn't obey, so they had to bow down and salute, which can be regarded as accepting this "joint teaching" method. But studying medicine is an extremely hard thing, and now with the addition of Confucianism and scriptures, Xu Xuan feels a little difficult to think about it.
However, from Xu Xuan's heart, if he can follow a bachelor like Cheng Fang to learn the scriptures, it will naturally be excellent, after all, this era is the era of readers, and with the aura of this reader, no matter what you do in the future, you will have a guarantee.
"Haha, since the matter has been decided, Xu Xuan will come to the double teahouse where I temporarily live to look for me in the afternoon, so the old man will leave," Cheng Fang stood up and said goodbye to Wang Fengshan, Wang Fengshan also quickly got up and sent Cheng Fang out of Qingyu Hall.
"Senior brother, congratulations!" Zhu Danxi looked at Xu Xuan enviously and said.
Xu Xuan smiled bitterly: "What's the congratulations here?" The master's medical skills alone are enough for me to learn, and with the addition of the Four Books and Five Classics, do you think this will be very good? ”
"Hmph, the shaft is not satisfied!" Wang Fengshan, who turned around and came back, heard Xu Xuan's words, his face sank, and he shouted angrily, "Do you know, this Cheng Fang Cheng Bachelor is very knowledgeable, he is a famous Confucian in our Great Song Dynasty, even today's saint, when he was still King Kang, he used to study with Cheng Bachelor, although the saint did not explicitly apprentice, but he is already half an emperor, let you study with such a teacher, you are still picky and afraid of being tired, if it weren't for your father, I really want to whip you!" ”
"Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong!" Xu Xuan hurriedly bowed down and apologized, at this time, where did Xu Xuan still not understand, Wang Fengshan was really for his own good, if it was someone else, where could he tolerate the apprentices he paid for to learn the scriptures and follow others? This is equivalent to Wang Fengshan reading the book in the offering of Xu!!
Wang Fengshan shook his head and sighed, "I have known your father since I was a child in a private school, and I am not as good as your father in terms of intelligence and talent, so I apprenticed early and took the road of a doctor, and your father was proud of the examination room, if nothing else, your family is also an official eunuch, but God is playing tricks, your father was later frustrated in the field one after another, and he also had no mind to go to the official career, and started a medicinal herb business, your father entrusted all your sisters and brothers to the death of his father, but I didn't take care of it for various reasons, Now Master Cheng has a plan to accept apprentices, Xu Xuan, you listen to the master's words, if you can, or worship under Master Cheng Fangcheng, follow him to study the scriptures, in my Great Song Dynasty, reading is the right way, if the career is not smooth, this medical way is not a step back. ”
Listening to Wang Fengshan's serious words, Xu Xuan hurriedly knelt on the ground, what he was full of plans was that he could have no worries about food and clothing here in Wang Fengshan, but he never thought that Wang Fengshan had already planned so much for himself, and he didn't expect Wang Fengshan's hard work at all. I didn't expect that when I reached this era, I still used the thinking of modern people to measure others. I'm really sorry for this master!
"That's it, you get up, the master knows that you value love and righteousness, and you don't want to change the master, and you are very talented in studying medicine, so the master discussed with the old man Cheng Cheng to let you study medicine for half a day and learn scriptures and righteousness for half a day. This student, he is extremely satisfied, he treats diseases and saves people, and he also has ideas in his heart, but he is a little immature when he is a fledgling, if he is trained properly, he may be a character like Bian Que Hua Tuo in the future, but if Xu Xuan can embark on a career and have a fame, it is also good, it is better than being a doctor and going to a hundred families and eating a hundred meals.
"Master, I ......" Xu Xuan looked at Wang Fengshan, and was understood by Wang Fengshan to be like this for his previous thoughts, and his face couldn't help but turn a little red, and he just wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Okay, you go tell your sister, this good news always needs to be known by the elders in the family," Wang Fengshan waved his hand at Xu Xuan and said.
"Yes, master" Xu Xuan bowed to Wang Fengshan and said, and walked out of Qingyu Hall, at this time, outside the door, the sun was setting, and the golden red afterglow shone warmly on the people's bodies.
