The next day, Jinqing followed Liu Mama and Xu Bin, who went to the county to sell vegetables, into the city, Liu Mama and Xu Bin could not rest assured, and must accompany Jinqing to Dr. Wang's Qichang Hall to report, quite some modern parents are not worried about their children, and they want to accompany their children to school on the first day of school.

Jin Qing couldn't cry or laugh, she insisted, she wasn't really a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, could she still be deceived? Besides, Wang Qichang's reputation is so big, she has no wealth and no appearance, what can she get by deceiving her.

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were much more open than Jinqing imagined, and many stalls in the streets and alleys of the county town in the early morning were women, and there were also many female shopkeepers standing at the door of the store shouting, and it was estimated that there were many girls studying medicine, otherwise everyone would have been quite surprised that Wang Qichang wanted to accept a girl as an apprentice yesterday.

Jin Qing inquired all the way, and walked for half an hour to arrive at Wang Qichang's Qichang Hall, the sun was still hanging on the horizon, and a sleepy-eyed guy was yawning and disassembling the door panel of the store, preparing to open for business.

Jin Qing greeted him, and asked like an adult: "This little brother, this is Dr. Wang Qichang's medical hall?" ”

The little second frowned and glanced at Jin Qing up and down, the old linen short shirt, the green cloth skirt was also washed white, and there was not even a piece of jewelry on his head, obviously he was a countryman who had just entered the city, so he said impatiently: "You don't have long eyes and can't look at the signboard?" ”

Jin Qing was choked immediately, this little two have such a big temper!

Jin Qing endured it, after all, he will be his "colleague" in the future, and he quarreled the first time he met, how will he get along in the future?

"You're here to see a doctor? Sit on the bench at the door and wait! When Xiao Er saw that Jinqing didn't leave, he thought that she was coming to see a doctor, and this country girl didn't know if she could afford to pay the consultation fee, but since the patient came, there was no reason to drive people out.

Jin Qing saw that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "That's the case, I am Dr. Wang's new apprentice, and it was the master who told me to come to Qichang Hall to find him early this morning." ”

Xiao Er was stunned when he heard this, put the door panel in his hand against the door frame, crossed his waist and looked Jin Qing up and down again, and said after a while: "Doctor Wang can't come today because of something, you can come back tomorrow." ”

Jin Qing was surprised: "How come? Dr. Wang clearly said that I would come to him early this morning. ”

Xiao Eryi heard that Jin Qing didn't believe his words, and said angrily: "What? Am I going to lie to you? When Dr. Wang came back yesterday afternoon, he went to Luoyang City for an emergency treatment, and said that he would not be able to come back today. ”

Jin Qing hesitated in place, if Dr. Wang really couldn't come back from the emergency room, there was no way to do it.

Seeing Jin Qing standing still and not leaving, the little second waved his hand impatiently: "Believe it or not!" Don't pestle in front of our shop, what do you look like? Come back in the afternoon, maybe Dr. Wang will be back! ”

Jin Qing is worried now, if she just leaves, Dr. Wang has already said that she will come over early this morning, in case Dr. Wang comes back early and can't see her, wouldn't the impression left on the master be too bad.

Judging from everyone's reactions yesterday, Jin Qing knew how lucky she was to be accepted as an apprentice by Wang Qichang, a medical master, plus a salary of one or two silver a month, she couldn't find such a good thing anywhere, Jin Qing didn't want to give up such a good opportunity, and she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Wang Qichang.

Jin Qing made up her mind, so she walked to the window of the east room of the store, and stood there straight, if Dr. Wang came back in the afternoon, then she would wait until the afternoon.

Seeing Jin Qing's behavior, Xiao Er snorted coldly and stomped his feet, and at this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties walked quickly towards the store.

Xiao Er hurriedly stood up straight and bowed to him, and the middle-aged man just nodded slightly and was about to walk into the store. Xiao Er hurriedly stopped him and pointed to Jin Qing who was standing at the window of the east room.

Jin Qing saw that the middle-aged man had a white face, a neatly trimmed beard, a black hat on his head, and a blue-gray silk round-necked burqa on his body, and his eyes were a little more scrutinizing when he looked at her.

And Xiao Er said a few words in his ear, and the middle-aged man's brows furrowed, glared at Xiao Er, and went into the house.

Jin Qing became more and more confused, and then looked at the young man, lowered his head and swept the ground at the door with a big broom, and did not look at Jin Qing.

What's going on with this person from Qichangtang? Jin Qing's heart was as uncertain as if he had hung seven or eight buckets, if Wang Qichang was just fooling himself, and casually said, Jin Qing made up his mind that he must ask Dr. Wang for an explanation in person, although he is just a country doctor, but it is not something that this group of city doctors can play casually.

The sun gradually rose, and the bench at the door was also full of patients waiting for treatment, and some patients saw a little girl standing alone at the window of the east house, thinking that she was from the countryside and didn't understand the rules of queuing here, so he shouted at her: "Little girl, if you want to see a doctor, you have to queue up here!" ”

Jin Qing squeezed out a smile, shook his head, and said, "Thank you, uncle, I'm not here to see a doctor." ”

When the people saw this, they said no more.

Jin Qing stood straight, but she was very anxious in her heart, she knew where her defects were, the ancient conditions were poor, even if she knew Western medicine well, but after all, she could only make some simple medicines.

As for the cognition of traditional Chinese medicine, she is definitely not as good as experienced Chinese medicine, she does not understand traditional Chinese medicine, her medical skills can not be recognized by this society, in the end, for the rest of her life, Jinqing can only be a bell doctor who walks the streets and households, and earns some dime and a dime to support her family.

In such a life, although Jin Qing doesn't say it, how can she be willing! Now Wang Qichang is willing to accept her as an apprentice, as long as she studies hard, she can not only become a real Chinese medicine doctor, but also let Jinzhi have a school.

Jin Qing's current mood is like someone gave him a bright hope, and when he rushed forward happily, he found that this hope may have been made up by others to coax him to play, and the apprehension of the mood can be imagined.

When the sun rose one zhang high, when Jin Qing and others were almost exhausted of patience, they finally saw the long-awaited Wang Qichang walking from the street step by step with his hands behind his back.

Jin Qing breathed a sigh of relief, whether the result was good or bad, she had to ask herself, so even if she was dead, she would admit the result.

Wang Qichang's hair and beard have turned white, but his face is ruddy, his walking pace is light but powerful, the temperature is already a little low in the autumn morning, but when he got closer, Jin Qing found that the tip of his nose was still sweating.

If you want to say that Wang Qichang's age, Jin Qing has observed for a long time and can't say for sure, looking at the hair and beard looks like a person in his sixties and seventies, but looking at his face and figure, he only looks like a person in his forties and fifties.

The three stools at the door were full of people queuing up to see the doctor, and when they saw Wang Qichang coming, they all stood up and greeted him with a smile, and Wang Qichang also waved his hand to everyone with a smile, meaning that they should sit and not stand up.

Jin Qing hurriedly greeted him, unsure in his heart, but he still pulled out a smiling face and shouted crisply: "Master! ”

Wang Qichang saw that Jin Qing came from the window of the East House, and he was a little surprised, and asked, "Why aren't you waiting for me in the store?" I was negligent, I thought your home was in the country, so I couldn't come so early. ”

Jin Qing was also surprised, and said: "It was a guy in the store who said that you went to Luoyang for a visit today, and you may not be able to come back, so I don't want to stand at the door to block the business......"

Wang Qichang stomped his feet with hatred when he heard this, and scolded: "This group of dead rabbit cubs! After speaking, he pulled Jin Qing into Qichang Hall.

The middle-aged man and Xiao Er that Jin Qing saw when she first came were there, and when she saw Wang Qichang pulling her out, she lowered her head, although Jin Qing didn't know what was going on at this time, but her heart had already fallen back into her stomach, since Wang Qichang did this, then the matter of worshipping him as a teacher was definitely a certainty!

There are three rooms in the store, and the lobby in the middle is a pharmacy, and the middle-aged man and the young man are standing at the counter where they grab the medicine, and there are two tables in the lobby, and two men are sitting behind the tables, like sitting doctors.

Wang Qichang glanced at everyone, and said slowly but majestically: "Today, I will introduce you to a person, who is the old man's new apprentice, the old man is very satisfied with this apprentice, and I hope you will take more care of my face in the future." The old man has a problem, the most important thing is to protect his shortcomings, whoever wants to bully my apprentice, he must first weigh whether he has this weight. ”

The four of them stood up and bowed back, Jin Qing didn't understand the etiquette of this, so he could only salute everyone one by one, which was regarded as a meeting ceremony, Wang Qichang said this in front of everyone, Jin Qing felt very moved, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Dr. Wang's cranky thoughts in the morning.

Wang Qichang glared at the two people in the medicine cabinet, then turned his head to Jin Qing and said, "I'm busy today, I won't introduce you to these people first, you stand behind me and watch first, and see how I treat people." ”

Jin Qing nodded hurriedly, and asked in a puzzled whisper, "Master, don't you need to bow to the teacher?" She also stuffed a thumb-sized piece of white jade Guanyin in her arms, which was not in good condition, and was left by her mother.

There is nothing valuable at home, this piece of jade was forced to her by Mama Liu last night, saying that although their family is ruined, they are also scholarly people who pay attention to etiquette, and the apprentice must give the teacher a proper apprenticeship ceremony, this piece of jade is a gift to Dr. Wang, and the family can't dislike their daughter for not knowing etiquette.

Wang Qichang saw Jin Qing's cramped and uneasy, touched his beard and laughed: "Little girl, you have called all the masters, what kind of apprenticeship do you do?" The old man doesn't talk about those red tapes, it's tiring to look messy! ”

Jin Qing also smiled, and the hand that was stretched out into her arms was quietly put down, since the master didn't say anything, it would be hypocritical for her to say this question again. This master has a bold personality, but he really has an appetite for her.
