"I've told you everything you need to say, it's your own choice!" Song Tuanyuan said in a low voice, "Go back and think carefully about whether you would have been able to pass the exam based on your talent without Mr. Lu's recommendation.
Juren? You should think about it before making a decision!"
Song Fuxin always felt that Song Tuanyuan still had something to say, but he refused to say it.
Song Tuanyuan could only say this. She believed that since Song Fuxin could reach such a high position in his previous life, he was a smart boy and he would figure it out!
At night, Song Fujin stayed up half the night. He carefully thought about some details of his relationship with Lu Ping, and suddenly remembered a terrible rumor.
A few years ago, a student committed suicide by jumping into the lake of Baiyun Academy after returning from Mr. Lu's flower viewing party. This was also the reason why Master Han and Mr. Lu were at odds.
Could it be...
Song Fujin felt aversion to cold all over his body and could not believe it for a long time.
But even so, how did a country woman know about this?
The next day, Song Fuxin got up early in the morning to study. After Song Xiaoxiao got up, he called her in to check the new words she had learned yesterday.
Wang Yulan took out the rice bowl and looked at Song Xiaoxiao through the window as she was writing and reading seriously, with a happy smile on her face.
Song Tuanyuan stood up and stretched.
Wang Yulan hurriedly stepped forward to wash her face, and took the opportunity to say: "Mom, thanks to my second uncle who taught Xiaoxiao how to read these days, this bunch of gold..."
As agreed before, it would be twenty cents an hour.
Wang Yulan took out some money and said, "Otherwise, my mother should give it to my second uncle. I'm afraid my second uncle won't take it!"
In fact, Wang Yulan was most afraid of being embarrassed by Song Fujin, such a proud person.
"Just keep it, I'll tell my second brother about the money!" Song Tuanyuan said.
Wang Yulan did not dare to disobey Song Yuan's intention, so she quickly collected the money.
During dinner in the morning, Song Tuanyuan asked Song Fuxin: "Are you going to leave after eating?"
Song Fuxin said: "Mom, don't rush now. I'll wait for the little girl to leave after the full moon in three days. I'll write her name myself!"
When Wang Yulan heard this, she immediately looked at Song Tuanyuan happily.
Song Tuanyuan nodded: "Okay!"
Song Fuxin said again: "Mother, I have figured it out. You are right. Even with Mr. Lu's recommendation letter, it may be easier to pass the exam, but I want to go further and take the top prize in the future. With my connections,
You can't go far without real talent and learning. Instead of wasting time on these social activities, it's better to study hard!"
Song Tuanyuan nodded: "It's not that you are not allowed to make friends. Good friends, gentlemen, mentors, and helpful friends can all be made. How to distinguish this and how to control it depends on your own analysis and control!"
Song Fujin nodded: "Mother, I understand!"
Song Fuxin looked at Song Fugui again: "Is the eldest brother also waiting for my daughter to be a full moon before leaving?"
Song Tuanyuan nodded: "Tomorrow I will go to the drug store again and tell the shopkeeper Ping, but they haven't said hello yet. If someone wants us, we will go."
Song Fuxin nodded: "Okay. But if the eldest brother really goes to the town, the three of us brothers will be in the town, and only the woman will be left at home..."
Song Tuanyuan also thought about this problem.
"It would be great if I could buy an ox cart. The days of coming and going are shorter every day. The most important thing is that the work in the fields will be easier with oxen!" Song Fugui said, but immediately waved his hand and said,
"Mom, don't pay attention to me. This ox cart is very expensive in total. I'm just telling you that from now on, I just need to walk to the town every day. I can walk fast!"
Song Tuanyuan thought about it for a while. She didn't want to tell the children about the house yet, for fear of scaring them, but the family did need an ox cart to make it easier to buy and sell things in the future.
"The bullock cart costs about five taels of silver, right?" Song Tuanyuan asked.
Song Fugui nodded, looking a little embarrassed.
He had never asked for anything from this family, but now he asked for a bullock cart.
"Tomorrow you go to the town with me and ask Uncle Niu to help you choose a good cow!" Song Tuanyuan said.
Song Fugui was stunned: "Mom, do you really want to buy a bullock cart?"
"Buy it if you need it!" Song Tuanyuan said.
"But mother, it costs five taels of silver!" Song Fuxin was also stunned for a moment.
"Don't worry, I have money!" Song Tuanyuan smiled.
Song Fujin and Song Fugui looked at each other.
Where did your mother get so much money?
After dinner, Wang Yulan and Song Shuangxi put away the dishes, and Song Tuanyuan went into the house.
Song Fuxin hesitated for a moment and called Song Fugui aside: "Where did you get so much money?"
Song Fugui shook his head.
How could he know?
Just like last time, he went up the mountain with Song Tuanyuan and came back with money.
What treasures can be found in the mountains?
"Perhaps what you're saying is that!" Song Fugui said, "Our whole village doesn't even have a bullock cart!"
Eight villages in ten miles rely on Uncle Niu's ox cart from the next village to go to the town. There are not many people riding the ox cart, and they all want to save the two cents.
Song Fuxin thought for a while, yes, maybe his mother was just talking.
Early in the morning of the next day, Song Tuanyuan took Song Fugui to the town, and by the way he brought the Qi Budu Powder and Furong Zijin Ointment made for Pinghetang.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw Song Tuanyuan, he immediately came forward to greet him.
"Oh, Mrs. Song, you're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Shopkeeper Ping said with a smile.
Song Tuanyuan looked at the sun. It was only half morning. She left early in the morning, so she came early!
"I can't help it, your medicine is selling so well, everyone is waiting for your goods!" Shopkeeper Ping said with a smile.
Song Tuanyuan glanced at the shop. There were indeed more people in the shop today than before.
"Why are there so many people?" Song Tuanyuan asked as he walked into the shop and took a look.
"It's not Divine Doctor Hao. He used your medicine for several dignitaries in the town. No, these people came here because of it!" Shopkeeper Ping smiled, staring at Song Tuanyuan's backpack, waiting for Song Tuanyuan to give the medicine.
Take it out.
After taking the medicine, shopkeeper Ping hurriedly gave it to the clerk and asked him to take it to the front.
"Count the money!" Shopkeeper Ping said the money in one breath without even using an abacus, "A total of three hundred and sixty coins!"
Song Tuanyuan said with a smile: "The shopkeeper knows the formula by heart!"
Shopkeeper Ping was very proud.
Song Fugui listened on the side with a suspicious look on his face.
What formula?
"Shopkeeper, in addition to selling medicine today, I have to ask for help from the shopkeeper for something else!" Song Tuanyuan said, pointing at Song Fugui, "My son wants to be an apprentice in the pharmacy, do you think this is convenient for you?"
Shopkeeper Ping was stunned for a moment: "Being an apprentice? Doesn't he learn more from you than he does from me?"
In Shopkeeper Ping's view, Song Tuanyuan's pharmaceutical skills are better than any of the pharmacists in his drug shop. If you want to learn medicine, why bother coming to him?
Song Tuanyuan shook his head: "He didn't learn to make medicine, he learned to look after the counter and deal with people!"
