After knocking on the door three times, Xia Yuhua did not continue, but waited patiently outside the door, and after a while, the door was slowly opened.

A boy about ten years old poked his head out of the door and looked out, and after seeing Xia Yuhua, he glanced behind her, but saw that there was only a person who looked like a maid next to him, and then the whole person jumped out.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? The boy's way of asking questions is a little different from that of ordinary children, not asking Xia Yuhua who she is looking for, but asking her who she is and what she is doing here.

The little boy in front of him was about the same age as her younger brother Cheng Xiao, Xia Yuhua couldn't help but smile at him and said, "Little brother, may I ask if Mr. Ouyang lives here?" ”

"I asked you who you are and what are you doing here?" The boy didn't buy it at all, frowning impatiently and asking a second time, as if he were going to shut the door if he didn't answer.

Seeing this, Xia Yuhua was also interested, and replied with a smile: "My name is Xia Yuhua, I am here to find Mr. Ouyang, I want to ask Mr. Ouyang to take me as an apprentice." ”

As soon as she had finished speaking, the boy burst out laughing, and if he heard some great joke, he was there with all his might, and when he laughed so hard, he touched his stomach from time to time, which was a little painful from laughter.

Seeing this, Feng'er was very dissatisfied, she felt that this child was very unruly early on, and her young lady was polite, but this child was so rude. was about to step forward to reprimand, but he didn't expect to be stopped by his own lady before he could say anything.

"Miss, look at him!" Feng'er is really not worth it for her own young lady, and she was always idle by those young ladies before, but now she is a little doll who has not even grown her teeth, and she dares to be so arrogant. What's more, those young ladies were not obediently surrendered by the young lady in the end, such a little milk baby today, are you afraid of him?

Xia Yuhua still didn't speak, but shook his head at Feng'er again to warn against being so impulsive.

It wasn't until the kid laughed and stopped that Xia Yuhua calmly continued to him: "I'm tired of the little brother to inform me, I sincerely came to ask Mr. for advice." ”

"What are you kidding? I want to study medicine with my husband? Hurry up and go back, my husband doesn't accept apprentices now, let alone female apprentices like you. The boy didn't know Xia Yuhua at all, so he didn't laugh because of anything else, but he felt that the woman in front of him didn't know the world at all, and thought that it was so easy for his husband to accept apprentices, it was as simple as eating, which really made him insightful.

"It's not too late for Mr. to accept it, and please be accommodating to the little brother, and let me report for me first, so that I can see Mr." Xia Yuhua knew early on that this matter was not easy, so he expected the current situation.

"No, no, my husband is very busy, how can he have so much time to meet people." The boy waved his hand impatiently and motioned for Xia Yuhua to leave quickly: "If anyone can see it, then the people queuing up to see Mr. at the gate will have to line up three miles outside the city gate!" ”

"What do you mean, my young lady is not just a random person, my young lady is ......" When Feng'er heard this, she was so angry that she opened her mouth and wanted to report her home for her young lady.

"Feng'er, don't be unreasonable!" Xia Yuhua interrupted Feng'er's words with a sideways look, and then turned back to the boy and said, "In this way, then I won't bother me today, please ask the little brother to tell Mr. I will come back tomorrow, no matter what, I hope to be able to meet Mr. Shang." ”

The boy saw that Xia Yuhua was dressed extraordinarily, and he also brought a decent subordinate, no need to guess that it must be a young lady from a rich and noble family, but this young lady's attitude is really good, without the arrogance and conceit of those eldest ladies, humble and peaceful, so his impression of her is also a lot better.

"I saw that you were not bad, so I kindly persuaded you to say a few words, you better dispel this idea earlier, and save your efforts in vain. It is impossible for my husband to take you as an apprentice, and he will definitely not even see you, so don't come in the future, do whatever you should do, and this kind of thing is not suitable for you. "The boy seems to have seen a lot of such things, so he doesn't talk about them in a set of ways, not at all like a child's thoughts.

"Thank you little brother for your kind words, but I have made up my mind to study medicine, and I will not change it no matter what. It is his right not to see me, and I can't force it, but I still come to visit every day and ask for it. With that, she smiled at the little doll again, and then turned away with Feng'er.

Looking at Xia Yuhua's leaving, the boy shook his head absently, and then went in and closed the door, and the neighborhood of the courtyard returned to its previous quietness.

There were really a lot of such people before, but Mr. has never made an exception, so everyone has retreated, but in the past two years, I have never seen anyone come so rashly.

Back in the backyard, the boy said to the man in white who was busy in the medicine garden, "Sir, sir, guess who came out just now?" ”

The man in white did not follow the boy's question, he continued the work at hand, weeding and watering the herbs, and caring for them carefully.

"Sir, you are always like this, as if you are not interested in anything." The boy seemed to complain, but the child's heart always couldn't help but want to say: "Forget it, I won't sell it to you, let me tell you, there is a woman outside today, but it's strange, I said that I want to worship you as a teacher, but let me send it away." ”

It turned out that the man in white was none other than the owner of this courtyard, and he was also the famous doctor that Xia Yuhua wanted to see-Ouyang Ning.

Ouyang Ning didn't seem to hear it, so he ignored the boy, just turned his back to the boy and smiled a little more peacefully on his face.

Seeing this, the boy scratched his head and thought about it, then turned to Ouyang Ning, and while helping to weed at will, he continued to say with interest: "Sir, you don't know, that woman looks quite beautiful, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and her attitude is also very good, and she is not angry when I laugh at her like that." She also said that it is your right that the gentleman does not see her, but she will come every day in the future. ”

"It's late, you're helping me make assertions again." Ouyang Ning finally spoke up, but he couldn't tell whether he was criticizing or implicitly, but one thing was obvious, that is, he didn't care at all about the people and things mentioned by the kid Gui Wan.

"Sir, I think that sister may not want to study medicine with you at all." Gui Wan smiled thief and said to Ouyang Ning: "In my opinion, it is estimated that that sister must admire Mr. 's talent and appearance, so she found such a glamorous excuse to meet you." ”

"Don't be poor here, there are still a bunch of medicines waiting for you to pound in the pharmacy, if you are so empty, I will bring you some later." Ouyang Ning threw down a sentence without being salty, and then got up and clapped his hands, looking like he was really going to get the medicinal herbs again.

Seeing this, Guiwan was so frightened that he quickly stood up, and ran in the direction of the pharmacy, turning back as he ran and saying, "Don't, don't, don't, I'll go, I'll be busy." ”

"By the way, sir, that sister said her name is Xia Yuhua!" This kid is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is almost gone, and at the end he still smiled and said, "Sir, I really think that sister looks pretty good!" ”
