Chapter 29 What is she doing?
The morning light is slightly dewed, and the breeze blows on the cheeks.
He knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, drove Zhang Chunxiang and his son and Li Mao out of the mansion, and released the news that she wanted to recruit a son-in-law. How could Qiu Jia stop for a while?
Honeysuckle just takes time to prepare for the medical examination in a few days.
The purpose of her participation in this exam was to use this Xinglin event to bring the Wei family into the medical field.
"Dragon gui, can you explain it to the guys?"
Angelica responded while combing her hair to the honeysuckle.
"Don't worry, Miss, I've explained everything. If someone named Zhang comes to deliver medicinal materials, you must keep the guests and tell the lady immediately? Miss, what are you going to discuss with them?"
Bargaining? Didn’t the lady say that other people’s medicine is not expensive?
"Angelica, how much money do we have in our hands?"
Seeing that he was almost done, Honeysuckle got up to tidy up the folds of her clothes, preparing to go to the old man to inform him about the exam, but he forgot about it when he came back yesterday.
"How much medicine do you want to buy for Miss?"
Angelica has already started to feel sorry for her money bag.
There is only one lady in the house. Although she is never restricted in terms of food, clothing and expenses, her lady has been unable to bear the expenses recently.
"Angelica, do you think silver is a good thing, too?"
Nodding like pounding garlic, do you still need to ask?
"Wait, and then you will be fine if you count the money."
His eyes lit up, "Miss, what does it mean?"
"I'll know then. Now you go to my mother and ask her to count the cash at home. Then I said that what I asked was of great use. I'll go to her when I turned around."
“…Okay Miss!”
Great use? How much money does it cost to do this lady?
The old man didn't plan to stay for long when he came back this time, but now he will not be able to go back for a while.
When the old man came to the gate of the yard, he saw Yun Bo seemingly sending him out of the mansion and was puzzled.
It was not until the guests left that Honeysuckle carried the things into the yard.
The tea was not cold when the guest left, and the honeysuckle raised her foot and stepped over the threshold. She looked at the old man sitting on the chair with an unknown expression, holding a red invitation in her hand.
Honeysuckle glanced and approached, and it turned out that she was here to deliver the invitation, no wonder the tea did not move at all.
"grandfather."
The old man was shocked to realize that someone was coming in, "The big girl is here, walking like a cat!"
"It is clear that my grandfather was too obsessed with his thoughts. Grandfather, who was the guest who went out just now?" How could an invitation make my grandfather look embarrassed?
"Sit down, the old man of the Mu family is here to send an invitation on his birthday."
Yandong sat down as he spoke, "Mu family? Mu family, one of the four major medical families?" In my impression, the Wei family and the four families had no relationship. How could Mr. Mu make a special trip to send invitations to the Wei family on his birthday?
"Well, what's wrong with me?"
The old man put the invitation aside and did not intend to chat with his granddaughter in detail. Although it was strange, the invitations were all practiced by the doctors. Mu Baoqing was also a contemporary Xinglin master. It was nothing if the Wei family went to celebrate their birthdays. They could not lose their respect.
"Grandfather, granddaughter has something to discuss with you!"
If you have something to discuss with him? The old man thought it was about Qiu Jia from Baicaotang, so he nodded, "Tell me."
Honeysuckle sat down next to the old man and said seriously: "Grandfather, our Jishitang has to purchase a lot of medicinal materials from outside in a year. The medicinal materials are good in quality and efficacy, but the price is also expensive. Jishitang's expenses are mostly on purchasing medicinal materials. You and my father have always insisted on using the best medicinal materials, but the selling price is the same as other families have bad quality. Over the years, our Jishitang has made a small profit. My granddaughter knows that you have always wanted to expand Jishitang, but our family can't afford so much money. The expenses in the mansion are basically supported by the shops left by our ancestors... Grandfather, instead of going outside to buy medicinal materials, it is better to grow medicinal materials ourselves, which can be sold and meet the needs of Jishitang."
Of course, she thought more than that.
“…”
The old man looked at Honeysuckle and was a little stunned. He didn't understand what the granddaughter was thinking in his mind.
Planting medicinal materials by yourself? The idea is good, but it is too simple. I am still a little younger.
Shaking his head and smiling, touching Honeysuckle's head lovingly, he said lightly: "It is natural to be a good deal to open a clinic and the medicine hall to grow medicinal materials yourself, but it is so easy. Which round of the soil in Kyoto is not suitable for growing medicinal materials. Do you think it is so simple to grow medicines. What medicine and what medicine can't be planted together? Only by knowing the habits of medicinal materials, you have to master the principle of mutual generation and restraint of medicinal properties..."
He hoped that she could take on more responsibility than ordinary women, but wasn’t this responsibility too much?
The old man thought for a while and continued, "Some things you don't have to worry about, even if Jishitang is not as profitable as other families, you won't lose money to your sisters. There will never be few dowry to buy, as for the expansion of Jishitang..."
The old man didn't want to go deeper, saying that his granddaughter's original intention was good, and if he was a man, he would have made achievements.
"Grandfather, all these granddaughters know, you can take a look at this first."
Honeysuckle is not in a hurry, and take the burden you bring in the future to untie it.
The old man frowned deeply, not understanding what honeysuckle meant, until he saw the medicinal materials and a note brought by honeysuckle, he was stunned.
Only then did I realize that my granddaughter was not on a whim or was whimsical, but was confident!
"Where do you get this medicinal material? There are also this book and notes?" The old man was disbelief.
"I went back to tell my grandfather about this medicinal material. How good is my grandfather looking at it? As for the notes, it was compiled and recorded by the granddaughter for the use of medicine, Suwenjing, agricultural species elements, materia medicinal herbs, etc. In addition, there are several recipes for granddaughter, and I would like to ask my grandfather to read it."
The old man listened and looked through it carefully, and then he was silent for a long time.
"Grandfather, there is something to do today... Let me tell you that my granddaughter has signed up for this year's medical examination!"
The old man was already in the expectation of honeysuckle.
"What did you say..." The old man obviously heard it clearly, but he was not sure.
"Grandfather, the reason why a woman is not recognized for her medical practice is not recognized except for the red tape. In the final analysis, it is because her medical skills are not recognized."
The old man looked at the honeysuckle and felt a little unconscious for a moment. He stood up tremblingly and said, "Yes... but... I haven't heard of any woman taking the exam for the Appraisal Order!"
Honeysuckle hurriedly stood up and supported the old man, "Grandfather, since ancient times, there has been no rule that women are not allowed to take medical examinations, right?"
"You... do you know what you did?"
The old man looked at the honeysuckle with a gray eyes.
Honeysuckle looked back seriously, and her tone was a little more solemn than usual. "The granddaughter knew that the qualification examination was like a student's imperial examination. Only by passing five levels and killing six generals could he get the qualification order! The granddaughter not only had to get the qualification order, but also let the Xinglin world understand the Wei family's medical skills!"
"Understand the medical skills of the Wei family?" The old man was a little dizzy! "You also know that the qualification examination is as difficult as a student taking the imperial examination, and it is still so loud!"
Besides, this girl has been learning to make random guesses since she was a child and has not been serious about medicine. Yes, even though she has some talent, she is willing to work hard, but it is not that easy to pass the qualification examination.
"Don't worry grandfather, please trust your granddaughter, your granddaughter will never let you down."
This incident has a big impact on the old man. How could he not worry? This is true... It's a nonsense, and the old man dares not think that such a girl suddenly appeared in the examination room in a few days...
But this girl has a very good idea. Since she has posted a post, she will definitely go unless she is tied up and not allowed to go out.
"Girl, do you know who will host this year's appraisal examination? King Xiling! It's fine, what if there is anything wrong with the appraisal examination..."
King Xiling?!
When honeysuckle heard these three words, her face turned pale.
The certification examination has never been related to the court. Why was the certification examination this year the presided over by the King of Xiling? Why was it him?
