Chapter 170: The Prodigy (Asking for Subscriptions and Monthly Passes)
Hundreds of years later, pharmacies sell finished medicines, and there is not much conflict of interest between them and doctors. But in these days, there is no scalpel, no advanced technology such as blood tests and laboratory tests, and doctors diagnose people's diseases, but simply prescribe medicine after seeing the doctor, which is the only means of making money.
The sale of finished medicines in pharmacies has deprived doctors of the right to prescribe, which has seriously affected their business and greatly diluted their profits.
After Hui Niang learned the truth, she decided to respond.
In order for the pharmacy to continue to maintain the previous prosperity momentum, it is necessary to establish a brand advantage and let the people know that the finished medicines prepared by Lu's pharmacy are made of the best medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials grasped according to the doctor's prescription are of the same quality as the medicinal materials sold by the pharmacies in Tingzhou Prefecture, and the price is also the same.
Shen Xi proposed to let the patients "show up and say", and Hui Niang funded several special performances of southern opera in the city, and by the way, in the interval between the performances, asked the patient's family to promote the finished medicines and medicinal materials of Lu's Pharmacy. This kind of publicity method named "advertising" by Shen Xi made Hui Niang feel quite novel, she originally felt that since she made money, she should give back to the people, and Shen Xi's proposal received a warm response from her.
Hui Niang began to contact the southern opera troupe in Fucheng to set up a stage, and in order to attract the audience, the script used was created by Shen Xi, so that each performance could cause a sensation.
On May 22, Hui Niang personally went to the inn to settle the money owed to the store for Hong Zhuo, and gave Hong Zhuo ten taels of silver, so that he could use the money to return to Beijing.
Shen Xi didn't go to see Hong Xun again, but when he turned around and listened to Hui Niang, Hong Xun had already begun to pack his luggage and prepare to leave Tingzhou, which should be the past few days.
At the school, everything is in order.
In order to show his importance to Shen Xi's studies, Feng Huaqi will add half an hour of lessons to Shen Xi every day after school.
In the past, the students taught by Feng Huaqi could not be exposed to this level of knowledge until they were at least twelve or thirteen years old, because the composition was already related to the imperial examination, plus the content of the eight strands of solving the problem, undertaking the topic, starting the question, starting the stock, the middle share, the back share, and the bundle of shares. A student has to receive about three to four years of education in this area before he can take the children's examination, and after the three examinations of the county, the government and the hospital, he will become a talent and become famous.
In other words. Ordinary people can't take the Xiucai exam until they are at least fifteen or sixteen years old, and whether they can be admitted is another matter. But now Shen Xi is less than nine years old, and if he is directly exposed to composition, Shen Xi can take the imperial examination at the age of twelve or thirteen.
Feng Yanqi cautiously discussed the matter with Shen Mingjun and Hui Niang.
Although Shen Xi is now showing that he can just memorize the "Five Classics", it will take time to completely grasp the meaning of the scriptures. But this has made Feng Yuqi feel that he is an unborn "genius".
Feng Huaqi hopes that one of his disciples can be a high school jinshi, which is an affirmation of his lifelong education career, and Shen Xi is the best candidate for him to realize his ambition, so he can't help but care.
When Feng Yanqi said what he meant, not only Shen Mingjun and his wife, but even Hui Niang's face was a little confused, and the matter came a little too suddenly.
“…… Sir, my little man has just learned the "Five Classics", and he has learned something else so quickly, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it. Shen Mingjun hesitated.
In the past, they hoped that their son would be exposed to more advanced knowledge earlier. But now that Shen Xi had just learned the "Five Classics" for two or three months, Mr. came to tell them that he was going to let Shen Xi continue to "skip grades", which made Shen Mingjun and Hui Niang feel that Feng Huaqi was because the proprietor of the new school was Hui Niang, so he would use the method of "pulling out seedlings to help grow" to curry favor with Shen Xi.
Although Hui Niang trusted Shen Xi's ability very much, she didn't dare to have a rush mentality about learning.
Facing the questioning gazes of Shen Mingjun and Hui Niang, Feng Yuqi sighed: "A few, in the next old age." From the moment I first came into contact with Shen Xi, a student, I found that his talent was extraordinary, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a prodigy. ”
"In the past six months, there have been four books and five classics. He never forgets it, and he can export it into a chapter when he collects notes on the scriptures. I have been teaching for many years, and I have only seen such a talented student in my life, and I am only afraid of dull qualifications. The only way to delay his future is to teach him more and cultivate him carefully. ”
Shen Mingjun and his wife glanced at each other.
They don't know anything about learning, Feng Yanqi said Shen Xi's talent so well, they don't know whether this is the truth or a compliment.
Hui Niang was a little insightful, nodded and said, "Since Mr. said so, can you assess Xiaolang's talent in front of us?" ”
Feng Yanqi smiled and nodded: "It's okay." This is the "Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period" that I taught to Shen Xi a few days ago, which is one of the thirteen classics of Confucianism. Yesterday I had two assessments, and he answered all the contents fluently. Ask Mrs. Lu to supervise today. ”
Feng Huaqi handed over a copy of "Zuo Chuan", Hui Niang took it and took a look, this kind of obscure Confucian classics, she had never come into contact with them, but after reading it a little, she felt that the sentences were jerky, and her head was dizzy.
After Shen Xi arrived, Feng Yanqi's assessment officially began.
Feng Huaqi asked Shen Xi to recite part of the content of "Zuo Chuan", Shen Xi raised his head and began to recite, without the habit of ordinary students shaking their heads, and the speed of memorization was faster than that of Hui Niang. Hui Niang pointed at the words on the book with her fingers, but she couldn't keep up with the back, and she couldn't even turn the page.
After reciting it, Feng Yanqi nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Reciting the full text, I don't know its meaning, it's not appropriate after all." Shen Xi, you will annotate this passage. ”
Shen Xi replied one by one.
After that, Feng Yuqi seemed to intend to continue to be embarrassed, and continued: "How is Uncle Yingkao? ”
Shen Xi replied: "Uncle Yingkao is the doctor of Zheng Guo, Zheng Zhuang Gong succeeded to the throne, his brother Duan Gangshang conspired against the rebellion, Zheng Zhuang Gong raised troops to calm down, and felt that his mother Wu Jiang and Duan secretly had a plan, so he swore that 'not as good as Huangquan, never see each other again'. When Uncle Yingkao heard it, he said that he would 'meet in the land and the spring, and meet in the tunnel', so that Zhuang Gong and his mother were as harmonious as ever. The world calls it pure filial piety, and Uncle Yingkao died of a secret arrow wounding his grandson. ”
Shen Xi replied very simply, and he was familiar with historical allusions, and Feng Yan couldn't help but nod his head in approval.
Feng Yuqi looked at Hui Niang: "Does Mrs. Lu have any objections?" ”
The master and apprentice replied, Hui Niang was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "How do I understand these things?" If Mr. thinks it's good, then so be it. ”
Feng Huaqi asked Shen Mingjun and his wife for another reason, and after getting permission, he officially let Shen Xi skip a grade for the second time in half a year, from studying the "Five Classics" to learning the essentials of composition.
From this time on, Shen Xi can officially write articles, and he has a lot of knowledge in his belly, and he can also play a role, so he doesn't have to hide it all the time.
……
……
On May 24, Hong Xun set off for Beijing.
Early in the morning, Hong Zhuo came to the door of the pharmacy and waited for Shen Xi to pass by when he went to school.
After this period of recuperation, Hong Xun recovered from his injuries, and at this time he changed into clean clothes, and his face was less energetic when he first came, adding a little vicissitudes of reading the world.
“…… Little brother, you're right, I don't have the ability now, I really don't have the face to meet the Xie family's sister. I've figured it out, I'm going back to Beijing, this autumn, I'm going to win, and next year I'll try to win the gold list. At that time, I will come to Tingzhou Mansion again and use eight sedan chairs to marry the sister of the Xie family. ”
Hong Xun made bold words, and seemed to have set great ambitions, but to Shen Xi's ears, it was completely empty words.
There is hope for lifting people, but how can Jinshi be so easy to test? Hong Xun is less than twenty, with the difficulty of the imperial examination, fifty young jinshi, learn to be old and take the old test, I am afraid that if you really wait for Hong Xun High School Jinshi, Xie Yun'er and grandson will already be able to play soy sauce on the street.
However, Shen Xi was still not ready to fight Hong Xun's enthusiasm, and said in an encouraging tone at the moment: "I'm optimistic about you!" ”
Hong Xun was a little more confident, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I have only known you for two or three months, but I feel that you are a real person, and I will go to Tingzhou Mansion again in the future, and I will be rewarded with a generous gift." ”
Shen Xi smiled and nodded, but he didn't think so.
With the inconvenience of today's transportation, there is a good chance that Hong Turbidity will not set foot in the realm of Tingzhou again. But Shen Xi felt that he had a chance to meet Hong Xun again, because he was a person with great ambitions, and the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty had to break through.
The two laughed happily, Hong Xun didn't treat Shen Xi as a child, but more like a friend of the same generation.
Before leaving, Hong Xun glanced at the door of the pharmacy, reluctant in his heart, and now he hoped that Xie Yun'er could come out to bid him farewell, so that he could not only tell his heartfelt feelings, but also inform the people he cared about about his plan.
But in the end, he didn't see the beautiful woman, Hong Xun came to Tingzhou Mansion, and Xie Yun'er was only across the screen when he was close, and he had no chance after all.
Carrying the burden on his back, Hong Xun dragged his heavy steps towards the west of the city.
After a trip to Tingzhou Mansion, Hong Xun has matured a lot, with more experience, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, he has regrets in his life, and the future may prompt him to work hard.
Looking at Hong Zhuo's back, Shen Xi pondered, did his appearance change the trajectory of Hong Zhuo's life?
Or the flood turbidity in history, after coming to Tingzhou Mansion, he was forgiven by Xie Yun'er and lived a happy life of double accommodation and double flight, but this flood turbidity did not leave the slightest mark in history.
After this incident, maybe Hong Zhuo will be able to do something in the future, and it is unknown that he will become a generation of famous ministers.
Thinking of this, Shen Xi couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, his appearance is indeed an anomaly, history has quietly changed because of his appearance, from this time on, history has a fork, and the future Chinese civilization may not develop along the established trajectory.
