Afterwards, apart from exercising daily, Gu Ran spent most of his time studying medical books.

The first person who was dissatisfied with this was Professor Yuan's own female teacher. This female teacher was surnamed Zhu, and she was already forty years old.

It is heard that she was born in the famous Zhu family in Jiang Nan, and she was engaged in the early years, and the unmarried man died young.Although this matter is a bit unlucky, this court does not prohibit women from remarrying and divorce.

But Master Zhu himself insisted on keeping the chastity for his deceased husband, so he was praised for his virtue.Later, she also became a female master, teaching some boudoir ladies to read, read, and be virtuous. She is quite famous in Jiang Nan.

She has always been rigid and strict, and pays attention to etiquette and rules. Not only do they teach students the virtues of female precepts, but they are also very demanding when walking, sitting, and lying down.

Unexpectedly, if she didn't come to Liu's mansion for a few days, not only those maids would become frivolous and loose, all kinds of laughter and rudeness, but also her student Liu Yunxiu would even read "unpopular" medical books. After seeing it suddenly, she almost fainted out of anger.

Seeing Master Zhu coming, the maids were all as frightened as quails. They even hid the shuttlecocks with colorful feathers and the bright kite fans behind them.

With a straight face, Mrs. Zhu reprimanded him severely, "It's really unruly, why don't you burn all these scriptures and messy things for me, so as not to stain my eyes."

She turned her head to look at Gu Ran who was sitting on the rocking chair reading medical books again, the frown deepened, there seemed to be surprise in her stern expression, and she seemed to be able to see contempt,

"Please also Miss Liu to conduct yourself with dignity."

Gu Ran raised her eyebrows lightly, "I don't understand Master's words."

"Miss Liu, you are also going to leave the cabinet, and you should strictly abide by the rules, so as not to offend people and make fun of you for being frivolous and shallow, not dignified."

Master Zhu spoke harshly, like a knife, enough to make a little girl feel ashamed and embarrassed.

However, Gu Ran is not a little girl who was raised in a deep boudoir and has never seen the world. She smiled lightly, "Master, this is wrong. My father is looking for a wife for me, not me marrying a wife. The rules that the master said, I'm afraid it won't work."

Mrs. Zhu also knew about the Liu family's recruiting, so she despised the Liu family's absurdity and lack of etiquette. If the Liu family hadn't paid a lot of money and entrusted someone to reconcile, she would not have come to this merchant's house to teach.

Now seeing that Ms. Liu is not as obedient as before, and dares to contradict her, she feels that she is not as good as those ladies who are really well-born.

Mrs. Zhu was extremely unhappy, but Miss Liu was so unruly, if people knew about it, wouldn't it be a disgrace to her reputation as a teacher.

"Since you are my student, you should learn what is a model of women's chastity and ladyship, and what is morality. Today I will punish you for copying women's training fifty times, and you are not allowed to read these idle books, and those maids, no It's their fault for advising you, they should sell it, so as not to stay by their side and continue to spoil you."

The corners of Gu Ran's lips curved slightly, but his eyes turned cold, "They are my maids, and I will decide whether they are right or wrong and how to deal with them, so I won't bother Master Zhu."

The original body is only a fool to let her manipulate, but Gu Ran is impatient to pester her, and he doesn't even intend to keep her in the mansion.

"I see Master Zhu is not in good health today, why don't you go back and see the doctor first."

Master Zhu was so angry that he turned around and complained to Liu Qingshan.

She firmly grasped that Ms. Liu did not obey the rules, contradicted her teacher, and disrespected her teacher. If it got out, it would be a very outrageous behavior for any young lady.

However, Mrs. Zhu underestimated Liu Qingshan's generosity and love for his daughter. Liu Qingshan's first reaction was not to blame his daughter when he knew it.

So first asked her the reason why she had a dispute with the female wife today.

This was also within Gu Ran's expectation, Yuanshen was taught to be rigid by the female teacher, but she didn't want her father to always treat her kindly and kindly, never asking for anything.

Gu Ran has already prepared an excuse for this, "Master dislikes our family's medical skills and forbids me to read those medical books, but I think what Master said is wrong. These are the priceless treasures left by my grandfather. As descendants, we should cherish the love Heavy."

Knowing who Liu's father was, Gu Ran didn't have to go around and say it directly. She knew how much Liu's father valued those medical books.

Sure enough, Liu Qingshan's face darkened when he heard the words, he couldn't tell that Master Zhu looked down on their Liu family, even the precious medical books read by his daughter were just idle books in Master Zhu's mind.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the skills of medicine and divination are mostly not popular in the eyes of the world. Even his Liu family is kind to others, repairs bridges and repairs roads, and often donates. In the eyes of others, he is still a merchant family full of copper stink.

Liu Qingshan sighed, "Since that's the case, I won't let Master Zhu teach you in the future."

Although Liu Qingshan was worried that his daughter would refute Mr. Teach because of this, it would affect his daughter's reputation, but he felt sincerely relieved.

Over the years, Master Zhu has taught his daughter the etiquette and rules of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and stay away from common affairs. It's not that Liu Qingshan doesn't know, but considering his daughter's preferences and reputation, he didn't say anything. Because he loves his only daughter in his heart, it doesn't matter if he doesn't learn to teach medicine or run a business, he will arrange everything for his daughter.

"It's just that you contradict Mr. Jiao, and it won't sound good if it gets out."

Liu Qingshan frowned, thinking about how to deal with this matter, lest Master Zhu belittle his daughter's reputation outside.

Gu Ran smiled and said, "My daughter really wants to learn those medical books, so why be afraid of what others will say."

"The Liu family has been based on medical skills since my grandfather. How can I forget my roots and let others despise me, otherwise I will be ashamed to be a descendant of my Liu family."

Hearing these words, Liu Qingshan's heart was shocked, he never expected his daughter to say such clear and firm words.

Or in the past, he neglected to care for his daughter. Unaware that her daughter had grown to a sensible age, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but blame himself, and felt moved and proud of his daughter who did not hesitate to protect the dignity of the Liu family.

………

After that, Gu Ran never saw Master Zhu again, and she didn't ask how Father Liu sent him away, but just calmed down and studied the medical books of the Liu family.

And less than two days after Liu's father came back, Qin Baiyan came to visit, in order to thank Miss Liu for inviting a doctor to see her mother that day.

Not to mention that when Liu Qingshan came back, he sent someone to send high-quality medicinal materials and supplements. Mother Qin believed that Master Liu had taken a fancy to her son after seeing him.If it wasn't for the sake of being a little reserved and not being so eager to post, Mother Qin would have urged her son to the door of Liu's house long ago.

Qin Baiyan also properly conveyed his mother's gratitude and kindness to Ms. Liu, which made Liu Qingshan really feel relieved after hearing it.

Although it's about recruiting, Qin Baiyan will live with his daughter in the Liu Mansion in the future. Liu Yunxiu doesn't have to get along too much with his mother-in-law and is made difficult by the rules of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but if the future in-laws are kind and friendly, it will be a good thing to treat his daughter well.

And Qin Baiyan is outstanding in talent and appearance, gentle in temperament, very humble in attitude, and has a gentlemanly demeanor, which is easy to make people like him, so Liu Qingshan is more and more satisfied with Qin Baiyan's future son-in-law.

Originally, Liu Qingshan didn't think about picking students from poor families, he was worried that there would be the kind of people who would be ungrateful once they got rich and powerful.

But everyone in Wanjiang County knew that Qin Baiyan's servant mother was pure and filial, and he knew his roots well. His character and reputation had always been very good, and he seemed to be a good match.

Qin Baiyan mentioned a little more, he used to study in a private school and was busy with scientific examinations, and the girl from the neighbor Song's family often helped to take care of his mother. Others once joked that the two were a couple, but in fact it was just a brother and sister relationship, and never exceeded the courtesy moment.

That day Miss Song was buying medicine for his mother, and met Miss Liu's family in the medicine hall. Qin Baiyan expressed concern that Miss Liu might have misunderstood, so he wanted to explain something.

Liu Qingshan frowned when he heard this, but then he relaxed again. The childhood sweetheart sounds really uncomfortable, but Qin Baiyan can be so frank, and to tell the truth, it is nothing.

And when he asked the matchmaker in the past, he had never heard of Qin Baiyan's flirtatiousness. He was able to be the top scholar in the examination at the age of seventeen. It can be seen that besides his talent and intelligence, he also worked hard.

Qin Baiyan added another sentence, "My mother cared about the younger sister of the Song family and took care of her for a long time, and intended to recognize her as a righteous daughter, and also hoped that Uncle Qin would be certified by then."

Liu Qingshan was completely relieved when he heard the words, he was not afraid of whether the Qin family did it intentionally, but he cared about the feelings of his beloved daughter, showing that he kept his life clean and self-conscious, which was also sincere.

After the people left, Liu Qingshan went to the backyard to find his daughter and prepare to formalize the marriage.

………

"Father is very fond of Young Master Qin?" Gu Ran asked with a shallow smile,

She had no doubts about the leading actor's ability in the play, but Liu's father came to visit just a few days after he went out. It seemed that the leading actor, Qin Baiyan, was very concerned about such a marriage, or the help the Liu family would bring to him.

Liu Qingshan's eyes were gentle, and he said with a serious expression, "It's okay if you don't like it as a father, the most important thing is that you like it."

After all, what Liu Qingshan hopes most is for his daughter to be happy.

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Mr. Qin told his father about his affair with that Song girl."

As soon as Qin Baiyan came to the door, she knew it, and asked the servant girl to go to the front hall to listen to what he had said with Liu's father. In the past, the maid beside her would not have the courage. Now that Mr. Zhu is gone, he is more relaxed and listens to Miss.

Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that, Qin Baiyan is a clean and self-sufficient person, and I asked him if he could be devoted to you in the future, and he was willing to swear without hesitation that he would only guard you and never accept another color."

The ancients were still very superstitious about oaths.

And Qin Baiyan did it. When Liu Yunxiu was alive, he never met other women, which also made him miss his true love's original character and never collapsed.

A person like Qin Baiyan who is so dark on the inside but firmly covered with a layer of benevolence and morality is indeed suitable for surviving and climbing in the turbulent officialdom.

"But what I've heard seems to be quite different from what Qin Baiyan said." She looked at the maid Xing'er, and motioned for her to tell what she heard.

"The Qin family and the Song family live next door. Not only did the Song girl grow up with Mr. Qin as childhood sweethearts, but all the neighbors in the neighborhood knew that Mrs. Song liked Mr. Qin. When Mr. Qin was studying in a private school in the early years, Mr. Song The girl often goes to deliver meals, and she still works in Qin's house, cooking, boiling medicine, washing clothes, cleaning, doing everything..."

In front of the master, Xing'er was a little nervous, but soon became more and more fluent in speaking,

"Miss Song also sold her embroidery to Mr. Qin to buy the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones that he lacked. More than once, Miss Song's parents also told people that this daughter was raised for the Qin family, and she was devoted to the Qin family. "

The more Liu Qingshan heard it, the more he frowned, and anyone who heard it would know that she was an infatuated girl. But what she likes is the son-in-law Ruyi who she has a crush on, which is unavoidably worrying.

"With Bai Yan's talent and appearance, it's no wonder that a woman loves him, and his mother has decided to recognize that Song girl as a righteous daughter, and from now on they will be called brother and sister."

Although he felt something was wrong, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but say something nice for Qin Baiyan.

Gu Ran looked at Liu's father with a half-smile, and said meaningfully, "Then father guesses that Mr. Qin and his mother have treated Miss Song all these years, whether they are maids or daughters and sisters?"

One word awakens the dreamer,

If it is true what Qin Baiyan said, their mother and son have never had any other thoughts and regard Miss Song as a daughter or a younger sister, then why would they allow others to be a good girl and work hard at home, and Qin Baiyan even accepted her? The girl exchanged the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for hard embroidery by stitches and threads.

Going too far, since you don't have that intention, you shouldn't accept what others pay again and again. Is this what a gentleman does.

And if it was intentional, it would be because of the wealth of the Liu family that he gave up the Qingmei girl, and deliberately deceived him to pass the test in front of him.

Liu Qingshan's face turned completely cold, because no matter what, Qin Baiyan is not a good match.

Gu Ran said again, "What Xing'er said may be hearsay, why don't father go and check to see if it's true."

The wind leaves traces, and people leave traces. Qin Baiyan can fabricate all kinds of lies to create a clean and clean character, but it will not be perfect after all.
