Chapter 005: Master, Please Eat
Said to study medicine, but the most important thing at present is the funeral, two days later, with the help of the Wen family, Xie Lingbai buried his parents and housekeeper together and set up tombstones.
After that, he kowtowed three times in front of the tomb, promising in his heart that he would take care of Xie Jinqing, and secretly swore that he would definitely find out about their deaths and never let them be wronged.
After doing this, when facing Xie Jinqing, Xie Lingbai would always pretend to have a relaxed expression, because he didn't want Xie Jinqing to be sad every day by him.
The day later, Xie Lingbai went out to study in the city's medical hall, completely forgetting what he said before to give Wen Changheng a current person, and now the idea in his mind is to learn medical skills as soon as possible, and then go to participate in next year's Taiyi selection meeting.
"Doctor Liu, I'm serious, I'll really study hard."
Xie Lingbai ran to the hospital all morning and begged a doctor for a morning, but no one was willing to accept him as an apprentice, mainly because his previous reputation was too bad.
"Xie Dashao, please go back, Xie Lao's clever medical skills can't teach you, and the old man is really powerless."
"I've never studied hard before, but I really want to study medicine this time, Dr. Liu, I've run all the medical halls, you are my last hope, I beg you."
Dr. Liu pointed to the cowering patients at the door and said, "In this Xiyao City, everyone is afraid of you when they see you, if you are an apprentice in my medical hall, then no patient will dare to come for treatment." ”
"I, I'll change, it won't be as ...... as before"
"Please go back, my small temple really can't accommodate your big Buddha."
Doctor Liu waved his hand as he spoke, and the two apprentices stepped forward and pushed Xie Lingbai out, Xie Lingbai was a little angry, but he didn't dare to beat people, for fear that the impression would be worse when it was spread out.
"Doctor Liu, please give me a chance, please......"
"Go, go, don't mess around!"
Xie Lingbai was pushed out of the hospital hall and almost crashed into the carriage, the coachman stopped suddenly, Xie Lingbai turned around and found that it seemed to be a little familiar.
The curtain was lifted, and Wen Changheng's gaze swept towards him.
"Boss Wen, Boss Wen, help me talk to Dr. Liu, they will definitely give you a face, I really want to study medicine."
"If you knew today, why bother in the first place."
"I know it's wrong, you can help me say good things."
Wen Changheng lowered the curtain, Xie Lingbai wanted to climb into the car, but was stopped by the coachman, and then the carriage continued to drive forward, Xie Lingbai stood in place and scratched his hair in pain.
Xie Lingbai walked around the street, and every time he walked to the door of the medical hall, he would be blasted out, and even passers-by didn't react to the jokes.
Finally, he reached out and touched the remaining bit of broken silver, thought about it and went to the bookstore to buy two medical books, since no one was willing to accept him, he had to teach himself.
After returning to Wen's house, he looked at Xie Jinqing, and then sat in the courtyard to read the medical book, but although he knew all the words on it, he didn't understand what he was talking about.
He had always disdained to learn these things, but now that he wanted to learn them, he found that the original medical skills were so profound, and he was a little discouraged, feeling that even if it took ten years, he might not be able to learn them.
Thinking of this, he shook his head again, how can he give up so quickly, he has to learn if he can't learn!
At dinnertime, Xie Lingbai appeared in the dining room again, but this time he did not sit down to eat, but stood beside Wen Changheng respectfully and helped him pour water and vegetables.
Wen Changheng looked at him with some puzzlement, Xie Lingbai said: "I said before that I would serve you as a person, and you will be my master in the future, please eat." ”
Wen Changheng didn't say anything, he ate by himself, and Xie Lingbai stood aside, silently reciting the names of some medicinal materials he had just seen in the medical book.
At first, he read it in his heart, and then he muttered out loud, but in fact, to be honest, although he knew the names of several medicinal herbs, he hadn't seen what they looked like.
Should I go to the hospital another day and buy some? But I don't have much money.
Thinking so, hearing Wen Changheng put down his chopsticks, Xie Lingbai immediately said, "Is the master full?" So little? Eat more, right? ”
Wen Changheng paused, Xie Lingbai stepped forward to pick up a lot of dishes for him without waiting for him to answer, and the maids next to him couldn't help laughing.
Wen Changheng didn't bother to pay attention to him, got up and left the dining room, and he and a few maids were left in the dining room in an instant, and he turned his head to see those maids who wanted to laugh.
"Laugh if you want."
"No, Xie Dashao, the last time you sat down to dine with the master, the master didn't refuse, looking at the entire Wen Mansion, you dare to do this."
"But not now, I have to please him now, I can't mess around like that."
Saying that, he felt a little hungry, he glanced at the dishes on the table, basically didn't touch much, and thought to himself that he didn't know how much black money Wen Changheng, a profiteer, made on weekdays, so wasteful.
"Do I need to serve you a bowl of rice?"
A maid took the initiative to ask when he saw him staring at the dish motionless, Xie Lingbai shook his head, "Forget it, I still have to serve Wen Changheng." ”
Saying that, Xie Lingbai ran out, and asked several housekeepers and maids to know that Wen Changheng had gone to the study, he rushed over and walked into the study, and saw Wen Changheng sitting there looking at something, so he leaned over and took a look, it was the account book.
"Master, it's not good to sit just after eating, you should go for a walk."
It didn't matter if Xie Lingbai didn't get a response, he stood beside Wen Changheng and sharpened the ink for him, but after being quiet for a while, he couldn't stand anymore again, and walked around lightly.
That's a lot of books...... He stood in front of the bookshelf and looked at it and asked, "Have you read all these books?" ”
Still didn't respond, he took out one by himself and looked at it, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually a medical book, and then took out two more books and looked at them, which were also medical books!
"Wen ...... Master, you actually have a medical book here, can you lend it to me? ”
"I don't borrow it."
Xie Lingbai didn't care what Wen Changheng answered, he opened the book and read it with peace of mind, Wen Changheng glanced at him, didn't say anything, lowered his head and continued to check the account books, this time Xie Lingbai was completely quiet.
Until Wen Changheng stood up after finishing his affairs, Xie Lingbai was still leaning on the bookshelf and reading, looking really serious.
"Hey, you're done? Where are you going now? ”
"Go back to your room."
"Good, good."
Xie Lingbai took the three medical books into his arms, and then followed Wen Changheng out of the study.
"What are you doing with me?"
"I'm waiting for you."
Wen Changheng: "......"
"Well, you must take a bath when you go back to the room, and I will wait for you to bathe."
"No, I don't."
"No, it's my duty, I do what I say!"
Wen Changheng looked a little helpless, and said lightly: "Xie Lingbai." ”
"What does the master command?"
"I don't need to be served, I disappear from my eyes."
"Eh, how can I do it, I said that you give me Ling Xicao and I will give it to you, I Xie Lingbai is not a person who doesn't talk much!"
The most important thing is that if he can't be a subordinate of the Wen Mansion, then he and Xie Jinqing will have to move out, and now where can he get money to find a place to live.
He can sleep on the streets, but Xie Jinqing is only seven years old, and his body is weak, so he can't endure these hardships.
Wen Changheng said to Wei Ze, "Call Uncle Chen over." ”
Not long after Wei Xue went out, he led Uncle Chen here, Xie Lingbai's heart jumped, and he was a little worried that he was going to roll up his own clothes and leave?
"Master, you call me?"
"You arrange for him to go to the shop tomorrow to do chores, dangling in front of him, looking annoying."
Xie Lingbai breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't bombard him away, Chen Boying should go, Xie Lingbai hesitated and asked: "Miscellaneous... Do you get paid? ”
The guards around him were stunned, Chen Bo pulled Xie Lingbai's sleeve and signaled him not to talk too much, although Xie Lingbai felt that it was shameless to ask so now, but he had to make money to support his younger brother, so don't want this face when you don't want it.
"Xie Lingbai."
"Huh?"
"When you pay off the six hundred taels one day, let's talk about the wages again."
Wen Changheng dropped this sentence and left, Xie Lingbai didn't give up: "Then it's better to give a little bit every month, deduct half and give half or something, otherwise I will drink the northwest wind!" ”
Unexpectedly, there was no response, and Uncle Chen persuaded: "None of the handymen in the shop can live in the house, you will be content if the master doesn't drive you away, there is food and shelter here, what are you fighting for." ”
Xie Lingbai thought about it and felt that it seemed to make sense, so he thanked Uncle Chen and went back to the room.
As for wages or something, let's talk to Wen Changheng in a few days, no matter what, if you don't have a penny, it's still not good, but how to talk about it is a problem, and you have to think of a good way.
