"Are you willing to follow me to learn calligraphy and painting..."Seeing Gu Nianyuan's somewhat shocked expression when he heard this, Yi Ju was very apprehensive. Thinking of his identity, he added with some anxiety.

"Don't get me wrong, the old man is not asking you to worship me as a teacher. It's just that I can't repay your kindness. The old man has no long things, and only calligraphy and painting can be used on his body. ”

"It is a blessing to be able to worship Mr. as a teacher, but apprenticeship is a more solemn event. You still want to wait for me to go back, and get ready to prepare. Gu Nianyuan was indeed a little shocked, but he was not worried about his identity as Yi Ju'an thought.

He was just surprised that the other party would actually make such a request. You must know that people like Yi Ju'an, who are at the level of calligraphy and painting, generally do not accept apprentices easily. Besides, even if you accept apprentices, at least you have to look at the qualifications of the apprentices.

Gu Nianyuan thought about it for a while and understood that he was doing this to repay his kindness. However, although Gu Nianyuan was a little ashamed, he thought that if he became Yi Ju'an's apprentice, when he was rehabilitated and became a family in the future, he would be able to use this identity to do more.

However, it can also be seen from this point that Yi Ju'an attaches great importance to affection. So when he loses his only parent, he will commit suicide regardless of the good future prospects.

Although his motives are not pure, Gu Nianyuan not only admires and appreciates his calligraphy and painting level, but also admires Yi Ju'an's love and righteousness. Even if Gu Nianyuan had the intention of taking advantage of him, he was also sincere.

Gu Nianyuan is determined to take good care of Yi Ju'an and his wife, and strive not to end up like in his previous life.

"I think you are also planning to take the imperial examination, and my status is not suitable. It is enough for the old man to know your intentions, and you will still find another famous teacher in the future, which will be beneficial to your future path. ”

Hearing Gu Nianyuan say that he wanted to worship himself as a teacher, Yi Ju was both sour and moved in peace of mind. However, after calming down, he still rejected Gu Nianyuan's proposal.

"What's wrong with the identity of the gentleman? Nian Yuan didn't care about any of that. Mr. is worthy of Nianyuan's respect in terms of calligraphy, painting and quality, and for Nianyuan, Mr. is the best famous teacher. ”

Gu Nianyuan looked at Yi Ju'an very seriously, he really felt in his heart that compared with those so-called famous teachers who sold their reputations, talents like Yi Ju'an deserved to be respected as a teacher.

"Well... Okay..."Yi Ju was shocked in peace, holding back the tears that were already rolling in his eyes to prevent them from falling.

"In this case, the old man accepted you as an apprentice. It's really a mountain and a lot of water, and there is no way out! I didn't expect the old man to be downcast to such a field, and he could still receive such a good apprentice, and this life is worth it! ”

Yi Ju'an still wanted to say that the doctor that Gu Nianyuan had made an appointment with before came to the door, and the two of them could only stop and greet the doctor.

Mrs. Yi's body couldn't stand it after working for a long time, and she had already fallen asleep deeply. The heart of the doctor's parents, Gu Nianyuan is an apprentice, an apprentice and half a son.

So there weren't too many taboos, Yi Ju'an directly took the doctor and Gu Nianyuan to his wife's bedroom, and gently took out his wife's hand and asked the doctor to take the pulse.

"Doctor, how's it going? How is my wife's health? Seeing that the doctor touched his wife's pulse for a long time, and did not speak, Yi Ju was very worried.

The doctor's brows furrowed tightly, and his face was very ugly, and he did not answer Yi Ju'an's question directly, but asked. "Did Mrs. Ling have a miscarriage?"

Seeing the doctor like this, Yi Ju was even more panicked, but Gu Nianyuan gently pushed him, and he spit out a "Yes" with some difficulty. Word.

Speaking of which, it was ten years ago, time flies so fast, and it has been ten years since Yi Ju'an was demoted.

Ten years ago, Yi Ju'an had just won the Jinshi and his wife was pregnant, and it was the time when the spring breeze was proud. It's just that accidents always come so suddenly, when Mrs. Yi was five months pregnant, the saint demoted Yi Ju'an to a concubine, and ordered him not to enter the capital again.

That night, someone was sent to tell them that the family had been kicked out, and the child was also gone that night. Until now, when I think of this, it hurts to live in peace of mind.

When the doctor saw Yi Ju'an's painful expression, he also understood what the story was. Although he has seen many such things, he still can't bear it in his heart.

But even if he couldn't bear it, the doctor continued to spit out words that sounded very cruel to Yi Ju'an.

"Mrs. has a weak body, and because she had a miscarriage before, she didn't have a good confinement at that time, and she didn't take care of her body well. Not only is the anemia and qi deficiency and blood deficiency, but the cold qi also accumulates in the body, leaving the root of the disease. Later, there is a lack of too much nutrition, and the body is not good. ”

The doctor has been around here for so many years, and he has heard about some things. He concentrates on medical skills and has no interest in calligraphy and painting, so Yi Ju'an doesn't feel anything.

However, he still admires Mrs. Yi's unwavering feelings for Yi Ju'an, and he also feels a little sorry for such a woman.

"And the lady has been depressed for many years, and her condition has become even worse. To put it mildly, if Madame continues like this, time is short. ”

Hearing what the doctor said earlier, Yi Ju'an deeply felt that he had burdened his wife, and he felt guilty and remorseful in his heart. But when he heard the doctor's words, he suddenly became excited.

"Nonsense! My wife is the one who wants to grow old with me, how can she be like you said..."

"Am I talking nonsense, you know in your heart what your wife's body is, you should also know in your heart. If you take good care of her and make her feel at ease, you might be able to let her live a few more years. ”

Seeing too many such things, the doctor was not angry, but shook his head in his heart and said lightly.

In fact, although Mrs. Yi's illness is very serious, it is not that there is no way at all. It's just that the doctor thinks that the solution is difficult to achieve, and he doesn't want to make the already poor people happy again, so he didn't say anything.

"Doctor, is there really nothing you can do? If there is, you say it. In any case, I will also help my mother get a good medicine to cure the disease. ”

Yi Ju'an didn't notice that he was hit, but Gu Nianyuan noticed that the doctor had a somewhat strange look, and asked with a glimmer of hope.

"If Madame can relax and stop thinking too much, it may be possible to make up for the deficit in her body. But—" The doctor changed gear.

"But Madame's body is too deficient, such as eating more nutritious food, fish soup, bone broth and the like, eating more red dates, longan, brown sugar and other things that nourish blood and qi, these are far from enough."

"What's that... Can you completely make up for the deficit in Shiniang's body? ”

Gu Nianyuan grasped the key point in the doctor's words.

"Ginseng, it has to be more than a hundred years old. And you have to drink it all the time, a little at a time, and you have to take it with the foods mentioned above. Drink it until you are completely healed. Seeing that the other party had already guessed a little, the doctor no longer concealed it.

The doctor sighed in his heart, what is the use of knowing? A hundred-year-old ginseng costs at least 100 taels, and it is still hard to find, and it is difficult for ordinary people to buy.

Everyone knows what Yi Ju'an is, it is poor and white. This descendant called Mrs. Yi his wife, and it seems that he should be Yi Ju'an's apprentice. Although I don't know when Yi Ju'an accepted an apprentice, it still looks very good, and this courtyard is estimated to be found with the help of apprentices.

But although the apprentice is good, the doctor can also see from the apprentice's dress that although the other party has an extraordinary temperament, his family background should not be too good. So even if he wants to help, he has more than enough heart and not enough power!

After listening to the doctor's words, Gu Nianyuan and Yi Ju'an frowned very tacitly, and they also thought of what the doctor was worried about.

Centennial ginseng is not only expensive, but also very difficult to buy. Yi Ju'an knew this clearly, and suddenly despaired. Looking at the wife's gray hair on the bed, and his wife's face, even if pale and haggard, he could still vaguely see the beautiful face of his youth.

Thinking of his wife's healthy and full face in the past, and thinking of the suffering that his wife had suffered with him over the years, Yi Ju'an couldn't hold back his tears anymore.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place. After studying hard for decades, he was finally admitted to the Jinshi, but when he was demoted inexplicably, Yi Ju'an did not cry; When he was given up by the so-called relatives and friends, and fell into the ground, Yi Ju'an did not cry.

When he was reduced to the slums and struggled to make a living by selling paintings, Yi Ju'an did not cry. But now, the days of knowing the wife who are in love with each other are numbered. And when he obviously had medicine, but he couldn't afford to buy it for her, Yi Ju'an couldn't bear it anymore, and cried bitterly beside his wife's bed.

Seeing this scene, the doctor turned his head a little unbearably. Gu Nianyuan, who also saw this scene, although he was also very distressed, opened his mouth.

"If you don't use ginseng for the time being, how long can you last with only food supplements, and then use ginseng after a while?"

Gu Nianyuan admitted that at the beginning, whether he was befriending Yi Ju'an or proposing to worship him as a teacher, he had some impure motives. But from the moment he decided to apprentice, Gu Nianyuan had truly regarded Yi Ju'an as his family and put him in his protective circle.

Gu Nianyuan has confidence in himself, and he is willing to gamble, he firmly believes that although he can't afford to buy ginseng now, it doesn't mean that he will never be able to.

"If you don't use ginseng and only use dietary supplements, you can last for about two or three years, and I will prescribe you some more decoctions, but you must get ginseng within two years."

"Yes, then it will be troublesome for the doctor to prescribe medicine." Nodding firmly at the doctor, Gu Nianyuan turned his head to look at Yi Ju'an.

"Sir, do you hear that? Shi Niang is still saved, you believe me, I will definitely help Shi Niang successfully get the medicinal materials within two years. ”

"Really..."Yi Ju'an asked uncertainly, looking at Gu Nianyuan with expectation and fear in his eyes.

"Of course, Nian Yuan assures you." Gu Nianyuan patiently reassured.

"This is the recipe, this is the prescription, you come with me to get the medicine." The doctor opened the list, blew the ink on the paper, and handed it to Gu Nianyuan.

"Sir, you rest for a while, I'll go get the medicine." After taking the prescription and signaling to Yi Ju'an, Gu Nianyuan got up and followed the doctor to the medicine hall.

The medicine hall is only two steps away from the small courtyard, and there are not many people at this time, Gu Nianyuan quickly grabbed the medicine, and on the way back from the medicine, thinking about what happened before, Gu Nianyuan sighed a little.
