Chapter 64: Apprenticeship

"Father-in-law thinks too much." Yun Shu stretched out his little hand and rubbed Yan Shizhen's temples. "I was meant to grow up. And I feel a sense of accomplishment in doing these things. ”

Yan Shizhen was silent.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I won't do anything that I don't know what is important." Yun Shu said this, but he didn't raise his eyes to look at Yan Shizhen.

Yan Shi sighed in his heart, "I will see your master tomorrow, don't you need my father-in-law to accompany me?" ”

"Father-in-law forgot? Tomorrow you will have a free clinic for Mei'er's Yishengtang! "Cloud Tree Road.

"Oh, I forgot."

"My father-in-law is tired, so I'll send my father-in-law back to rest."

"We'll be leaving in two days, do you want to take the time to see Li Ge's stinky boy?"

"Well, naturally I'm going."

Early the next morning, Zhang Yuan sent Yan Shizhen to Yishengtang.

Yun Shu watched as Yun Fan placed the gift prepared by Steward Meng on horseback. While settling, he said uneasily: "Childe, is it really good for you to go out on horseback?" ”

"It's fine."

Yunshu looked at the busy people in the courtyard again. The day after tomorrow is about to leave this, and the courtyard where she has lived since she was born, her heart has become heavy. She couldn't stand it any longer, so she took the reins from the porter's hand, turned over the jujube red pony, and urged the horse forward.

Is her heart messy, is it the reluctance to give up this familiar environment, or the fear of the unknown future? He thought of his father and mother, his father-in-law, Li Ge, Yishengtang, the placement of the people in the Cloud Mansion, and Li Weihan.

I found that I didn't hear anything outside the window and buried myself in the pile of old papers, which was so happy. Now she feels that her heart is a little overwhelmed.

Everything you do should be thought about and considered, taking into account everyone's thoughts and feelings, and making the most reasonable considerations. Don't worry those close to you, try to show the posture of a boy and an adult, and try to convince people. But even if you work so hard to do this, you are still immature in your bones, and if you are not careful, you will mess things up.

It's like the shopkeeper of Wan'an Hall brushing his sleeves away. For the first time, a person was annoyed by her and threw a teacup in front of her. She gritted her teeth and told herself that she couldn't retreat, the soldiers would come to block, the water would cover the earth, and in the days to come, there would only be a way forward, no way out.

Along the way, Yunshu thought about his thoughts and didn't speak. Yun Fan just silently led the way.

Outside the city, there was already a smoky spring, but the cloud tree that was immersed in his thoughts did not notice it.

"Childe, we're here." Yun Fan reminded.

"Huh? Arrived? So fast? Yunshu woke up from his thoughts.

"It's not coming, we've been gone for almost an hour."

Yun Shu was about to speak, but he was fascinated by the scenery in front of him.

Qin Rumei did not live in the city, but bought a house outside the city. In front of the cloud tree, the simple stone slab winds in front of the shop, is blocked by a Qingming stream, the stream side of the thousands of branches of fragrant yellow spring flowers, along the path, all the way to the gate of the courtyard, there is a strong old plum tree next to the door, tightly holding the buds, reflecting the small and unique house, very meaningful. I saw a green bamboo forest behind the courtyard, and the wind blew and rattled, sweeping away the worries.

Yun Shu dismounted and walked onto the small wooden bridge, which seemed to be overwhelmed, and was twisting and twisting.

Yun Shu only felt that his mood was refreshed, and he couldn't help but say, "Master Qin actually lives in such an out-of-this-world place!" This little bridge is also very interesting. ”

The wooden door creaked open, and a mother-in-law walked out, "Who's coming?" ”

Seeing someone coming out, Yun Shu hurriedly stopped, stepped forward and saluted, "Student Yun Shu, come and see Master Qin." ”

The mother-in-law approached and looked, "No, the old man clearly said that he was teaching Miss Yun." ”

Yun Shu saw that this mother-in-law seemed to be the same age as Master Qin, and she was intimate with Master Qin, so she said obediently: "Good master." In order to go out for convenience, Yun Shu wore men's clothes, which made the master misunderstand. ”

The cloud tree is handsome, extraordinary, and very polite, the master liked it very much when she saw it, and said with a smile: "I listen to the magpie on the branch in the morning, and I don't want to have a distinguished guest." Miss Yun, come in. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Yunshu's hand and entered the door.

Yunfan tied the horse to the stake at the head of the bridge and followed with a gift.

When the master entered the courtyard, she called: "Old man, who do you see coming?" ”

Qin Rumei, dressed in a simple cloth robe, held a book in her hand, and turned out of the house.

"Hello master." Yun Shu bowed and saluted, and when she raised her head, Qin Rumei smiled, "Shu'er, why did you come out in men's clothes?" He nodded again and said, "Your outfit is a bit similar to Ge'er." ”

"Old man, Shu'er is coming all the way, so you let the family stand and talk in the yard?" Shi Niang said angrily.

Qin Rumei smiled and beckoned to Yun Shu, "Come in." ”

Yun Shu took the gift from Yun Fan and held it to his mother. "This is Shu'er's filial piety to the master, a little bit of the master's heart. Shu'er is ashamed, she has been taught by her master for many years, and now she has only come to the door for the first time. ”

"Isn't this coming? It's good to come. Shi Niang took the gift, "Come in, I'll make tea for you." ”

Yun Shu saluted and followed Qin Rumei into the house.

"But what's going on at home?" Qin Rumei saw that she had lost a lot of weight compared to years ago, her originally soft and round face showed the outline of her bones, she was dressed in men's clothes, and her demeanor was more decisive. Somewhat surprised at how much she changed in a short period of time.

"On the second day of the first month, my mother went."

Qin Rumei was stunned. A large part of Mrs. Yun's serious illness is due to infatuation, and now this ending is expected, but now that Yun Shu says it, she is still a little frightened.

"Shu'er is busy with family affairs these days, so for convenience, she changed into men's clothes, assumed the pseudonym Yunshu, and only called herself Yunshu's twin brother to the outside world."

Qin Rumei sighed and patted Yun Shu's shoulder, "You are young, it's not easy." ”

Yun Shu said in a low voice: "Actually, Shu'er came today to bid farewell to the master. I want to send my father and mother back to my hometown, and I will be buried in peace, and I will not keep filial piety for my father and mother for three years. In the future, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to be taught by Master Qin. ”

"Shu'er, the master has always regretted that you are a girl, no matter how good you are, you can't participate in the scientific examination, but now that I hear that you will no longer study in the future, the master still feels heartache."

"The master's teachings to Shu'er, Shu'er has always been grateful to her heart. These days can sort out the family affairs, and the master's years of earnest teaching have contributed a lot. Shu'er will study more in the future, but she can't be taught in front of the master. ”

"It's good to be able to apply what you've learned."

"This is Shu'er's heart, and I am grateful to the master for his years of teaching." Yunshu held the silver ticket.

"The last time you sent me back, it was enough."

Shu'er is grateful for the master's teaching, which is a voice from the bottom of her heart, not empty words. I also hope that the master will accept Shu'er's sincerity. ”

Qin Rumei saw that Yun Shu said sincerely, so she no longer shirked.

"Shu'er opened a pharmacy on East Street, called Yishengtang. If the master doesn't want to go out to teach anymore, Shu'er is willing to support the master, you just need to send a message to Steward Meng, and Steward Meng will send money every month. ”

Qin Rumei was just about to speak, but Qin Shiniang came in with a tea cup and beckoned Yun Shu to use tea, "Shu'er is rare to come here, so it's better to stay and eat today and taste Shiniang's craftsmanship." ”

Yun Shu originally planned to sit down and leave, and there were still several people in the city who needed to resign. I don't know what to say for a while.

"Your master's cooking skills are excellent, so Shu'er will stay and feast on it."

Seeing that the master and the master invited her kindly, Yunshu was not easy to shirk, so he agreed to come down. The teacher happily went to prepare the dishes.

Qin Rumei continued: "I didn't expect that Shu'er would even open a pharmacy these days, no wonder she lost so much weight and took a lot of effort, right?" ”

Yun Shu was afraid that the master would blame her for embarking on the road of businessmen who were not looked down upon by the world, and explained: "There is only one me in the Yun family. I couldn't take the imperial examination, so I thought about finding a new way out for the Yun family. ”

"There is nothing bad about hanging pots to help the world. The master is not a narrow-minded person. Qin Rumei reassured her. You want to go back to your hometown, and the pharmacy has settled down? ”

"Well, I'm pretty much settled."

"That's fine. The master has drawn up some bibliography for you these days, I don't know if you still need it? Qin Rumei took out a piece of paper from the stack of books, and there was a full list of books on it. It is also excellent to think that you are not for scientific research, but to read more books in your free time and broaden your horizons. ”

Yunshu happily took it, "Thank you, master, Shu'er has this intention." ”

Without the urging of the previous courses, the master and apprentice talked about unprecedented speculation. Qin Rumei also took Yun Shu to visit his small courtyard, and saw that Yun Shu's intention of returning to seclusion was about to be born.

On the way back, Yun Shu was in a very happy mood, looked at Yun Fan who was in the weak crown next to him, and said: "Brother Fan, your family is in Jiyang, but I let you stay in Yishengtang, are you dissatisfied?" ”

"Yishengtang is the first business that Childe has worked so hard to create, and I should stay and help. Childe doesn't have to worry about me. Yun Fan said seriously.

"Brother Fan is sensible, then I won't be worried. I'm still worried about Ziyun. ”

"What's wrong with Ziyun?" Yun Fan's silent eyes shone brightly.

"Ziyun was already married last year, her parents are gone, and no one worries about her. I will go back to my hometown this time to keep filial piety, so I will not delay her for another three years. She has taken care of me all these years, and I want to book a family affair for her. Yun Shu saw that Yun Fan's expression moved, as if he was happy, and continued, "I don't know if Brother Fan has a suitable candidate?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the joy on Yun Fan's face passed away. "I didn't think about it. I don't know which one Childe has taken a fancy to Ziyun? ”

Yun Shu glanced at him and said with a light smile: "I think Zhang Yuan is good." People are down-to-earth and capable, a little smart, and very self-motivated. What do you think? ”

"Zhang Yuan is indeed self-motivated, but he is a little vulgar, and I am afraid that he is not worthy of Ziyun." Yun Fan said with a cold face.

"So? What you also saw yesterday, the new tent in Yishengtang is a knowledgeable person, and he was entrusted with important tasks by Xue Gongzi at a young age. Yunshu suggested again.

"It's good at first glance, but it's not a know-it-all person, I'm afraid it's not good." Yun Fan pushed it off for Ziyun again.

Yun Shu was hit twice in a row, but his interest was even higher, and he smiled: "It's not good? It doesn't matter, I have another candidate, you are sure to be satisfied! ”

When Yun Fan heard this, his face became even colder. Seeing Yun Shu looking at him, he had no choice but to ask, "Who is it?" ”
