Gu Xiu Niang looked at Lin Wangchen who was reading a medical book and asked hesitantly: "Chen'er...are you going to stop taking the scientific examination and only study medical skills?"
"Mom, do you want me to take part in the imperial examination?" Lin Wangchen put down the torn medical book in his hand and asked.
Gu Xiu Niang did not answer, but just said: "Madam did not consign our mother and son into slaves. If you want to take the imperial examination route..."
Lin Wangchen shook his head and said, "Mom, I want to take the imperial examination in the future."
"Imperial Medical Office?" A look of surprise appeared on Gu Xiu Niang's face.
She thought that since her son would not take part in the imperial examination, he would definitely not have anything to do with officialdom in his life.
Although the doctors in the Imperial Medical Office do not participate in politics, they have high standards.
Although he did not enter the officialdom, he was inextricably linked with the palace and the official families.
Lin Wangchen nodded, with a determined expression on his face.
"Mom, the Imperial Medical Office mainly provides consultations for the nobles in the palace. My son is thinking about the future..."
When Lin Wangchen said this, he paused and his tone changed.
He added: "My son has made up his mind, and I hope my mother will fulfill my wish."
Lin Wangchen looked at Gu Xiu Niang with eyes full of sincerity.
Gu Xiu Niang showed a touch of tenderness on her face and looked at Lin Wangchen lovingly.
"Now that you have made your decision, you should learn medical skills well. Your life was saved by the young lady. Although the young lady has high medical skills, a doctor does not heal himself. You must not forget to repay the kindness to the young lady in the future."
"Mom, I know!"
Lin Wangchen nodded solemnly.
This is exactly the purpose of his studying medicine!
Lin Wangchen selected several basic medical books in the bookstore.
There was no way, what Dr. Wang taught him was all advanced knowledge.
The most basic things are missing.
He wanted to take the Imperial Medical Examination Examination, and he needed to learn some theoretical explanations from these books.
The mother and son of Gu Xiu Niang walked out of the bookstore. Lin Wangchen took a look at the wooden hairpin on Gu Xiu Niang's head and said, "Mom, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion to have a look. It's time for you to add some jewelry..."
"Young master! Are you the young master?"
A shocked and uncertain voice interrupted Lin Wangchen's words.
Lin Wangchen's expression changed and he looked at the speaker.
The speaker was a middle-aged man.
A middle-aged man pushed a wooden cart.
There are needles, threads, brains and other items on the wooden wheel cart.
It looks like he is a salesman walking around the streets.
At this time, the salesman looked at Lin Wangchen with surprise and suspicion on his face.
Lin Wangchen said coldly: "You have recognized the wrong person, I am not your young master!"
After saying that, he looked at Gu Xiu Niang.
"Mom, let's go."
Gu Xiu Niang nodded.
When the salesman saw it, he put down his wooden wheel cart and stopped in front of them.
"Young Master, has something happened to you and made you forget who you are?" The salesman said suspiciously: "Your surname is Lin, and you are from the British government. No, you are the only son of the Lin family in the capital. Although you have not seen me for several years,
But you look a lot like Mr. San..."
Lin Wangchen frowned and said in a cold voice: "There are many people who look alike in the world! I have said before, I am not your young master, and I have not forgotten who I am!"
"No, how is this possible?" the salesman said without giving up: "Young master, I'm afraid you don't know that the master has been asking me to search for you around Fengqi County over the years, and I have set up a salesman's stall.
, I walked through the streets just to find you..."
"Uncle, I am just a slave. I cannot be your noble young master. Please get out of my way!" Lin Wangchen's voice became colder and colder.
"But……"
"Brother, this is my son. You have recognized the wrong person." Gu Xiu Niang said.
The salesman looked at Gu Xiu Niang, then at Lin Wangchen, and stepped aside with a hesitant expression.
Lin Wangchen supported Gu Xiu Niang and walked past the salesman with a cold face.
The salesman looked at Lin Wangchen's back, touched his head, and murmured to himself: "Why does it look so similar? Even the back looks like the third master when he was a teenager... No! I have to go back to Beijing and tell the master..."
A quarter of an hour later, Zhenbao Pavilion.
Lin Wangchen asked the clerk in the store to bring over an exquisite silver hairpin.
"This young master has good eyesight. Although this hairpin is made of silver, it is made by a master. Look at the workmanship..."
The waiter introduced it endlessly, fearing that the customer would give up because of the high price of silver hairpins, which is comparable to gold hairpins.
Lin Wangchen naturally noticed that this silver hairpin was of good workmanship, so he picked this one.
Speaking of which, Gu Xiu Niang has also saved a lot of money in the Su family over the years.
Although, she always thinks of herself as a following person.
However, the Su family never regarded her as a human being, but as a family member.
The Su family gave her a reasonable price for any embroidery she embroidered.
In addition, during every festival, Tangbao, as his apprentice, will honor the ancient embroiderer with gifts.
Gu Xiu Niang is no longer the person who sold herself for ten taels of silver.
"Mom, let me put it on for you, son." Lin Wangchen held the hairpin with a very satisfied expression.
Gu Xiu Niang said with some distress: "No, at your age, why waste such money?"
Why don't you save it and buy some more books for your son?
Lin Wangchen immediately saw what Gu Xiu Niang meant, and couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart.
Immediately, he took out a silver ingot from his pocket and gave it directly to the clerk.
"We bought it," Lin Wangchen said.
"Okay, Master."
The boy smiled happily and walked away with the silver ingot.
When Gu Xiu Niang saw this, although she felt a little distressed, she was more pleased.
Lin Wangchen inserted the silver hairpin into Gu Xiu Niang's hair and said, "Mom, you have worked hard these years."
"It's not hard for me, mother. As long as you grow up safely and healthily, mother will be satisfied." Gu Xiu Niang patted Lin Wangchen's hand and said.
Lin Wangchen's eyes turned slightly red after listening to Gu Xiu Niang's words.
"Mom, actually...Uncle Lin is a good man. You and Uncle Lin..."
When Lin Wangchen said this, he paused.
"Son... I'm happy to call Uncle Lin daddy."
The expression of Gu Xiu Niang changed.
"Chen'er, what are you talking about?" Gu Xiu Niang said with a bitter heart: "How can my status be worthy of Brother Lin?"
"Mom, you..."
"Chen'er, you don't understand."
Gu Xiu Niang shook her head and interrupted Lin Wangchen's words.
"Alright, let me accompany you to the cloth store to see if there are any suitable materials and make you two sets of summer shirts..."
After saying that, he walked out of the Treasure Pavilion first.
Lin Wangchen opened his mouth, looked at Gu Xiu Niang's somewhat lonely back, and said nothing in the end.
He could feel that both his mother and Uncle Lin were worried.
Although, he didn't understand what they were worried about.
Maybe...just because of him...
Lin Wangchen thought of the salesman he met just now.
