Mu Shishi laughed, "I'm fine, I'm still the same." He stretched out his hand and pointed to Xiao Ling'er on the side, "Senior brother, this is my friend, Xiao Ling'er." ”

Xiao Ling'er hurriedly lowered her body, and Xie Yuan also waved at her, "Hello Miss Xiao." ”

"Gongzi Xie is polite." Xie Yuan was so literate, Xiao Ling'er still felt that she should cooperate better.

Mu Shishi on the side waved her hand, "Ouch, ouch, yes, Ling'er, don't learn, sit down first." ”

As she spoke, she took Xiao Ling'er and sat down on the side.

Xie Yuan also walked to him, lifted his pants and sat down very gently, "Senior sister hasn't seen you for a long time, I went to visit my junior brother's cold house today, I don't know what is important?" ”

"I can't talk about important things." Mu Shishi blinked, "Senior brother, senior sister knows that you have been taking the exam, I don't know what's wrong?" ”

Xie Yuan's expression immediately became a little lonely, and he shook his head, "Senior sister also knows that junior brother has always been stupid and stupid, far inferior to senior sister and senior brother. ”

"Where is the stupidity of talent." Mu Shishi shrugged her shoulders, "You, you are just too persistent, when you followed the master, the master never said that you were worse than me and my brother, but everyone has their own strengths." Brother, have you ever thought that maybe this reading and writing is really not suitable for you? ”

"Senior sister?" Xie Yuan was a little worse in the article, but listening to the meaning of Mu Shi's words, he could still hear a little bit. "Senior sister, since she is coming from afar today, you might as well say it if you have something to say."

"Then I won't hide it." Mu Shishi glanced at Xiao Ling'er on the side, and simply said directly, "That's the case, I intend to open a medicinal canteen with this Xiao girl, the most important thing in this medicinal canteen is the cook, who must not only have the skills of cooking, but also understand the basic pharmacology, so as not to have problems in the ratio of ingredients and medicinal materials." And this candidate, I want to think about it, only you are the most suitable. So, we'd like to ask you to help. ”

"That's right." Xiao Ling'er also nodded, catching up with the conversation, "Gongzi Xie, like Sister Shishi, you have studied medicine under your master, and you have worked as a cook in the guest house in Yu'an City. We can't think of anyone better than you. And you can rest assured, although we are a new store, as long as you are willing to come, the salary is ......"

"Senior sister, Miss Xiao, there is no need to say more."

Xiao Ling'er hadn't finished speaking, but Xie Yuan arched his hand and interrupted, the expression on his face did not waver in the slightest, but his eyes were a lot more distant.

"The sister's good intentions are understood by the younger brother, but the younger brother is only focused on the examination, and has no other intentions, so I am afraid that I will not be able to receive the friendship of the senior sister. If Senior Sister comes here for this today, I'm afraid she will return empty-handed. ”

"Why don't you listen to what we're talking about?" Mu Shishi frowned, in fact, she had also persuaded Xie Yuan before.

He, a junior brother, has followed the master for several years, and has stayed in the guest house, and has learned a good craft, whether he is a cook or a doctor, he has a good future, but he is all about the entrance examination, completely ignoring everything else.

More than two years ago, Aunt Yu's illness worsened, but all his money was used for the entrance examination, and there was no extra silver taels at home, so he had to go to the mountains to find all the medicinal materials for Aunt Yu's treatment.

That was also the first time Mu Shishi met him after he went to the guest house. By chance, when he was picking up medicine on the mountain, he knew what was going on at home. When Mu Shishi sent some broken silver to the door, she once persuaded him that the entrance examination is not the only way out, he has the ability to do everything else enough to take care of Aunt Yu, why should he be so poor as today.

But at that time, Xie Yuan rejected her like this, and he didn't even accept the silver, so he refused to change his mind. Mu Shishi had no choice but to let Lin Zi send some medicinal materials that could be used.

Two years have passed, and Mu Shishi has occasionally sent people to see and know some news about Xie Yuan, but he has not changed in the slightest, and he is still so persistent.

It's just that......

Mu Shishi sighed, "Senior brother, I know that you are persistent in your heart and want to gain fame. But sometimes it's useless to just have obsessions, you are so diligent and hardworking, in the end, after all these years, you haven't even taken the township exam, let alone have the qualifications to go to Beijing to catch the exam. Don't you want to think about whether you're really fit for the exam? Maybe it's better to find another way. You don't want to think about it, in a few years, Aunt Yu will be old, and you haven't even married a wife and had children, so let Aunt Yu suffer with you all the time? ”

"Senior sister!" Xie Yuan frowned, his expression was no longer good-looking, interrupted Mu Shishi's words and didn't let her continue, just picked up the teacup on the table and raised his head to take a sip. "Two years ago, when my sister persuaded me, I had already expressed my intentions, but two years have passed, and my heart to learn has not changed. The junior brother decided that the senior sister should have known two years ago, so why bother talking about it now. If there is nothing else to do, and the junior brother is offended, please ask the senior sister and Miss Xiao to go back. ”

"You guy, how can't you make sense?" Xiao Ling'er heard that Xie Yuan's words already had some intention of rushing away, and she was in a hurry. It seems that Sister Shishi is right, this Xie Yuan is simply a stone that can't be leveraged, and when he mentioned this, his face immediately shrugged down, and he didn't even want to listen to the words.

"We're not doing you harm. There are so many industries in the world, and there is not only one way to get ahead, not to mention that it is not suitable for you. Weren't you very talented when you studied medicine with your master or worked as a cook in the guest house? Whichever one you choose to do will definitely not be worse than today, at least you don't have to worry about your daily livelihood and your mother's illness. But now, you are only obsessed with the entrance examination, and for such a long time, it is time for the south wall to be broken. What's more, you haven't even passed the simplest township exam, isn't it enough to explain anything? Could it be that in your heart, this doctor and cook is not as good as an official? ”

Xiao Ling'er knew that her words might be a little heavy, but she was indeed a little angry.

Maybe it's because of Xiao Ronghua, the eldest brother of the Xiao family, she really can't understand why it is so important for them to get fame and become an official, enough for the Xiao family to sell their daughter for Xiao Ronghua and squeeze them in various ways, and enough for Xie Yuan to let his mother suffer for it.

Isn't it an old saying that has been said for a long time? Three hundred and sixty lines can produce champions, since I haven't passed the township test twice, why do I have to pursue it hard.

Even if he doesn't want to follow them to the medicine canteen to be a cook, even if he regains his medical skills and becomes a doctor, it's better to live such a poor life, and even his mother's life and medicine are so tight.

But obviously, even Mu Shishi's words didn't work, and Xiao Ling'er's words naturally wouldn't be taken to Xie Yuan's heart.

He snorted coldly, simply stood up and turned his back, his hands behind his back, and his tone became heavier, "Senior sister, Miss Xiao, what you said is clear in your heart, but everyone has their own ambitions, don't persuade the two of you again, my heart will not waver." If you don't speculate for more than half a sentence, the humble house is ugly, so you won't leave two people. ”

"You!"

"Okay, Ling'er." Mu Shishi stopped Xiao Ling'er and shook her head, "Senior brother, since you have made up your mind, senior sister won't bother." But no matter what, the friendship between the senior sister and brother is still there, if there is anything you need help with, or if you have a change in your heart, you can come to me at the county pharmacy. ”

She said, pulling Xiao Ling'er over, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Ling'er had no choice but to follow Mu Shishi out of the door.

Before she understood it, Sister Shishi's heart hesitated, Xie Yuan's thoughts about such things as the entrance examination were even more powerful than those of the Xiao family, and it was really not something that could be said in a few words.

When he went out of the room, Xie Yuan still turned his back to them, and seemed to have a bit of temperament towards their persuasion, and he didn't even want to send it.

Xiao Ling'er sighed, "Forget it, Sister Shishi, he refuses to come, let's just find someone else, it's a pity that Aunt Yu, who can live a better life, touches a wooden son." ”

Mu Shishi also shrugged her shoulders, with a wry smile on her face, "No way, they have a few brothers and sisters, and the ones next to them are not like each other, but they are all the same strong, and I am afraid that they will not be able to pull back ten cows." ”

"Senior brother?" Xiao Ling'er looked at her with some confusion, "You mean, your senior brother?" What's wrong with him? ”

Xiao Ling'er heard Mu Shishi say before that in addition to Xie Yuan, she also had a senior brother who opened a pharmacy with her, but she left later, but she had never heard Sister Shishi mention it carefully.

But it seems that Mu Shishi still didn't want to mention it, so she just shook her head, "That's it, this matter is a long story, let's talk about it later, let's go back first." ”

"Okay." Mu Shishi didn't want to say more, Xiao Ling'er naturally didn't want to ask too much, so she only followed her out of the courtyard, but she didn't expect that she had just taken two steps, but there was a sound of footsteps behind her, "Miss Mu, please stay!" ”

"Aunt Yu?" Mu Shishi and Xiao Ling'er turned around and stopped them, it was Xie Yuan's mother, Aunt Yu.

Xie Yuan, the junior brother, had a bad temper with Mu Shishi, but of course Mu Shishi didn't care too much, and nodded respectfully when she looked at Aunt Yu, "Aunt Yu, I'm bothering a lot today, I don't know if there's anything else?" ”

Aunt Yu walked in front of them, looked back at the room behind her, and made sure that her son didn't look at it, so she sighed, and shook her hands in front of her with a little crampedness, "Miss Mu, there are many offenses in today's events, and Yuan'er has no malicious intentions, but he is also bored in his heart for the entrance examination, so he will speak more heavily, don't be surprised." ”
