After Zhuang expressed his attitude, everyone in the Wu family saw Zhuang's resolute attitude, and knew that they could not dissuade Zhuang and could only let her go. Zhuang came to visit Babao Zhanghong Pharmacy, looking for a Langzhong who was willing to go to Qiongzhou with her. Chen Wenyuan personally received the Zhuang family, prepared the missing medicinal materials, and muttered: "Qiongzhou is a long way away, I am afraid it is not easy to find a Lang Zhong who is willing to go with his wife, if his wife does not dislike it, I have a suitable candidate, but this person is used to being casual and is not a person who is easy to restrain himself, I am afraid that going to Qiongzhou will cause trouble for my wife." ”

When Zhuang heard this, how could he care so much, and he was already thankful that Langzhong was willing to go to Qiongzhou with her, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know which Langzhong Master Chen is talking about?" I don't mind if I am restrained or not, I have already asked for others, so I naturally treat him as a guest, but I am afraid that he thinks Qiongzhou is far away and is unwilling to go. ”

"I write a name post for my wife, and my wife can send someone to find him, he is a loose person, as long as my wife can tell him to go to Qiongzhou, I believe that Brother Boyong's condition will definitely improve. This person is a good friend of his father, proficient in medical skills, but he is a little shocking. Chen Wenyuan said while writing a famous post.

"Then it's troublesome for Master Chen, the concubine is here to thank Master Chen." Zhuang said gratefully.

"Madame doesn't have to be so polite, I'm just recommending, it's not much help, whether it can be done or not depends on Madame." Chen Wenyuan stroked his beard and said politely, "He is a perverse person, and I hope that Mrs. will not care." ”

Zhuang took the address on Chen Wenyuan's name card and came to a dilapidated mansion, which was so dilapidated that Zhuang couldn't believe that there were people living here, and even this person was a famous doctor.

Zhuang knocked on the door and shouted to the door: "May I ask if Doctor Sun lives here?" ”

There was no answer for a long time, and after a while, the door squeaked open, and an unkempt old man in coarse cloth clothes walked out, "Who?" ”

Zhuang hurriedly asked, "May I ask if Doctor Sun lives here?" I was recommended by Master Chen of Babao Zhanghong Pharmacy to come here to find Dr. Sun. ”

"There is no famous doctor Sun here, only Old Man Sun. What are you looking for him? The old man asked impatiently.

"I came to ask Dr. Sun to go to Qiongzhou for treatment, my lord is seriously ill in Qiongzhou, I want to ask Dr. Sun to go to Qiongzhou, can you spread the word." Zhuang looked at this courtyard, uneasy, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like the home of a famous doctor.

"Qiongzhou? No, no, my old man doesn't want to die in a wild place like Qiongzhou at an old age. ”

The old man was about to go in when he closed the door, but Zhuang hurriedly pulled the door to prevent him from closing the door, "You are Doctor Sun?" Please also be sure to go, if you have any requirements, just mention it, as long as our Wu family can do it, I will definitely meet your requirements. ”

"The Wu family? Which Wu family? Could it be the Wu family, a salt merchant on East Street? The old man asked.

"Yes, it is the Wu family on East Street, Sun Mingyi, the concubine and husband are now bedridden, you can rest assured, your food, clothing and daily life are taken care of, and our Wu family will definitely treat you as a guest." Zhuang hurriedly replied, "Qiongzhou is not particularly barbaric, I heard that Qiongzhou Lianhai, the stones there are white and flawless, such as jade and warm, the climate there is very different from our Yangzhou, there is no extreme heat in summer, no severe cold in winter, and people there do not need to wear cotton jackets." ”

"If your Wu family is willing to give me a pension, I can think about it, first of all, I want the best food, clothing, housing and transportation, I don't want to suffer. And your children have to follow me to study medicine, old man, I lack an apprentice to inherit the mantle. Old man Sun snorted and chirped this request, he expected that the Wu family would not agree, not to mention that he was now a down-and-out man, even if it was a famous doctor, the Wu family would not agree. The Wu family has a lot of silver to invite a better Langzhong to Qiongzhou, and they only need to pay for medicine, and they don't have to pay so much for it.

Zhuang was a little hesitant, she could indeed make the decision on the matter of providing for the elderly, but asking Wu Yuan, a boudoir woman, to study medicine for this old man as an apprentice, seemed too out of line. Don't say that she can't agree, even if she does, I'm afraid that the Wu family will strongly oppose it.

"This 。。。。。。 Mr. Sun, I only have one daughter, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request, everything else is easy to say, the Wu family can give you a pension, can ensure your food, clothing, housing and transportation, but let a girl go to study medicine, this requirement seems a bit out of line. ”

"Can't a girl study medicine? Who prescribes? If you're reluctant, forget it. Please also ask for another wisdom. Old man Sun slammed the broken wooden door shut.

The Zhuang family had no choice but to return to the Wu family and tell the Wu family the requirements made by the old man Sun, without thinking about it, everyone in the Wu family strongly objected.

"This old man was so presumptuous that he actually let Wu Yuan a girl go to study medicine with him. Is it true that his Wu family can't hire a famous doctor? ”

"Sister-in-law, this request must not be agreed, who is he, Wu Yuan is the eldest daughter of our Wu family, how can she follow a poor old man to study medicine."

"I strongly disagree, after living for so long, I have never heard of a woman practicing medicine. If it spreads out like this, the reputation of the Wu family will be gone, and Wu Yuan will not marry or not! ”

The crowd chattered in opposition to it.

At this time, Wu Yuan stood up, "Mother, promise him, I can follow him to study medicine, didn't our Wu family also start from a salt seller who went to the countryside to visit households?" I should learn one more craft, and this is for my father to ask him, you can agree, our Wu family did invite a famous doctor, but which famous doctor is willing to go to Qiongzhou? ”

Zhuang was silent for a while, and asked, "Have you thought about it?" This matter is related to the reputation of your daughter's family, it is not a trivial matter, and it must not be sloppy. ”

"You can answer him directly, I have thought about it, after the apprenticeship, he will go to Qiongzhou with you, and when he comes back, I don't know if he can teach me to study medicine, we can agree for the time being." Wu Yuan blinked slyly.

"That's right, what Wu Yuan said makes sense, when the old man comes back from Qiongzhou, I don't know what the old man will look like, sister-in-law, or you will promise him?" Cui Shi said aloud. Cui's family has its own little Jiujiu, if Wu Yuan studies medicine, no one inherits the long house, and the second room is even more justifiable, why not do it, and it is also a good thing for Wu Yuan to save his father with righteousness, the best of both worlds.

Seeing that what Wu Yuan said seemed to make some sense, Zhuang went directly to Old Man Sun's house in a sedan chair to reply to him, "Old Mr. Sun, our Wu family agrees to your requests." When do you think we're leaving? ”

Old man Sun asked, "Are you sure that you can call the shots as a woman?" It seems that the Wu family is not your home, right? And are you sure you want your daughter to study medicine from me? This is about the reputation of your daughter's family, is your daughter willing? ”

"Old man, I agree to all your requests, you can rest assured, as long as my lord's illness is cured, no matter where you want to go to retire, the Wu family will be responsible to the end. When it comes to apprenticeship and medicine, the little girl has promised that after you come back from Qiongzhou, you will officially apprentice and study medicine immediately. Zhuang said earnestly.

"I'm not busy, I'll talk about the departure after the apprenticeship." Old man Sun seemed to see through Wu Yuan's intentions, and directly asked Wu Yuan to apprentice.
