Aggrieved and wronged, Xu Xian spent a dark day in Bao Zhitang.He couldn't figure out what he did wrong.

Obviously he was out of good intentions, obviously he was very sure that the prescription he prescribed was right for the symptoms, but why the shopkeeper refused to follow his prescription, Doctor Zhang and Doctor Xu even scolded him in a strange manner, and the doctor who came to see the doctorThe young man was even more furious, and regarded him as a quack doctor who harmed others?

Oh no, he is not yet a doctor, he is just a little apprentice of Bao Zhitang!

Xu Xian felt bitter, worse than eating Coptis chinensis.

It's getting late, Doctor Zhang and Doctor Xu are already on duty.When Xu Xian packed his luggage and was about to leave, the shopkeeper stopped him: "Don't rush away, follow me to the back room, I have something to explain to you."

Xu Xian responded, waited patiently for the shopkeeper to close the door, and went to the back room together.For some reason, he always felt that the shopkeeper seemed a little different today.But what was different, he couldn't tell, so he had to attribute it to his illusion.

After entering the back room, Xu Xian bowed to the shopkeeper: "Shopshop He, if you have any orders, please tell me."

Seeing his strict and polite appearance, the shopkeeper sighed secretly, and pointed him aloud: "Xu Xian, today's matter is over, don't keep remembering it, let it go quickly. You can relax, study hard, and work hard.", with your aptitude, you will be able to succeed one day."

Hearing this, Xu Xian couldn't help but feel sore nose: "Thank you for the affirmation of Shopkeeper He. I have been in Bao Zhitang for so long, and no one has ever praised me and encouraged me so much. Both Master Zhang and Master Xu can only scold me, saying that IThe wooden head is not enlightened, it can only memorize the Four Books and Five Classics by rote, how can I understand medical books..." The Master Zhang and Master Xu he mentioned are naturally referring to Dr. Zhang and Dr. Xu from Baozhitang.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The two doctors are indeed strict with you. In fact, Xu Xian, you are not bad at learning. Your mistake is that you are too bad at being a man. I think you are honest and sincere, so I will do it once today."Good man, let me call you."

As he said that, the shopkeeper told him the prescription that Dr. Zhang gave to the middle-aged man later today. The type and dosage of the medicine written on it were exactly the same as what Xu Xian had written before.

Xu Xian was shocked: "It turns out...it turns out that the prescription I prescribed for that elder brother's back injury was correct! Why did Master Zhang scold me like that? Could it be that he didn't read the prescription I prescribed before, so he didn't know why?Got me wrong?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "You don't understand, that's not important. Even if Dr. Zhang knew in advance that the medicine you prescribed was completely right for the disease, he would still do it."

Xu Xian's eyes turned red with grievance: "Master Zhang, why did he do this? Why did he treat me like this? This...it's not fair! I'm going to find him for a review!"

The shopkeeper stopped him: "Oh, are you hurting me? I kindly called you, but I couldn't bear to keep you in the dark, but you turned around and sold me out. Are you worthy of me?"

Xu Xian said: "How could I harm shopkeeper He? I just want to get justice for myself. Shopkeeper He, I have to trouble you to testify for me when the time comes."

The shopkeeper just found it funny: "Xu Xian, you still don't understand. I can't help you to testify, and I won't admit what I just told you. To tell you the truth, I've already given you the prescription you prescribed.Tear it up, the one that Doctor Zhang prescribed has already been taken away by the patient, you can't find any evidence for it."

Xu Xian refused to give up: "I have a good memory since I was a child. I can rewrite every medicine and dosage on the prescription I prescribed. I just need to find that elder brother and ask him to compare it with Master Zhang's prescription."know the truth."

The shopkeeper smiled: "Xu Xian, Xu Xian, you are still too young and naive. Why do you think that middle-aged man will believe you and listen to you? Don't forget how aggressively he scolded you todayIf you really do this, you will only be scolded again!"

Xu Xian said dejectedly: "Then I can only admit it like this? I don't accept it! Shopkeeper He, this is really unfair!"

The shopkeeper shook his head, and pointed to him earnestly: "You are right, the world is unfair! Your two masters are doctors, so everyone respects and trusts them; you are an apprentice, so everyone doubts you.I don't take you seriously. It's a matter of course."

"I have lived for more than forty years, and I have seen many things. Which apprentice is not suppressed, scolded, and ordered by the master for several years or even ten years? Isn't this a normal thing? Who is not like this?You came here? Why is it that you, Xu Xian, are so precious that you can't stand this grievance?"

"You, to be an apprentice, you have to act like an apprentice. Usually, you should be obedient and please Dr. Zhang and Dr. Xu more. Don't try to be aggressive in everything, let alone try to show off and slap them in the face!"

Xu Xian was silent, and the hands under his sleeves trembled slightly.No one had ever said anything like that to him.

The shopkeeper continued: "Not to mention being wronged as an apprentice in a medical center, didn't you also feel the same way when you were studying in a school? Your sister often praised you for having a good memory. You can almost remember the Four Books and Five Classics, and your brother-in-law even joked about you.Maybe it’s Wenquxing from the sky who has high hopes for you. But you have such good qualifications, you have studied for several years, but you haven’t even passed the examination as a scholar? Haven’t you thought about the reason?”

Xu Xian's eyes were slightly red: "It's because of my bad luck. I failed in every county examination, and I failed my sister and brother-in-law's expectations of me."

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Uncut jade still needs to be polished carefully before it can be made into a good tool. Otherwise, even the national treasures of Chu State and Choi in the Spring and Autumn Period will only be regarded as a stubborn stone by everyone. And you, Xu Xian, are just such a piece of jade."You are a rough jade, but you lack a good teacher who can teach you according to your aptitude, so you have been studying for many years but failed to get a good reputation, but in the end you changed to medical books to make a living, and came to our Bao Zhitang as a small apprentice."

As he said that, the shopkeeper sighed heavily: "Yuan Xiucai, your former teacher, was knowledgeable, but his character was not good. Back then, he failed many provincial examinations and had to return to his hometown in Hangzhou to start a school.It’s not so pure anymore. He doesn’t want to see you guys being good, he doesn’t want to see you surpass him, especially you, Xu Xian who never flattered him, flattered him, or gave him generous gifts!”

"So, he didn't teach you what he should teach at all, but hid those important test-taking skills, experience and taboos. And 'what is on paper is always shallow', you just read the book, and you don't know what to do.How much can you learn? What's more, your brother-in-law's family is not a scholarly family, there are not many books at all, and it is not a wealthy family, so I have tried my best to buy you the most basic four books and five classics."

Now Xu Xian was about to burst into tears, and he managed to hold it back, choked up and said: "If I am a teacher in the future, I will teach my students everything I have."

The shopkeeper secretly praised him in his heart: "So ambitious!"

He didn't show it on the surface, and deliberately poured cold water on him: "Don't think too much about it, such as being a scholar, being a tutor, or even being an official in the imperial court, etc., wait until the next life."You will be like this for the rest of your life, just be an apprentice in our Bao Zhitang, and serve Dr. Zhang and Dr. Xu well. Maybe one day they will be moved by you and officially accept you as a disciple. This will last for another five or six or sevenIn eight years, you can still be a little doctor on your own. After a long time, you will have enough qualifications and age, and you will naturally be respected like Dr. Zhang and Dr. Xu."

This is the aggressive method.

Xu Xian's hands under his sleeves trembled again: "Is that the only way?" Let him flatter Dr. Zhang and Dr. Xu, worship the high and step down, prescribe medicine for the rich, and prescribe unnecessary nourishing prescriptions to the rich in order to make money.Son, in order to save time to deal with the poor, he felt uneasy.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "That's right, that's the only way. If you want to become a real doctor of our Bao Zhitang, you must get their approval. Before that, you can only endure, hold back, and calm down, and follow their advice.Do what they tell you to do, don't think about it."

Xu Xian sighed: "Shopkeeper He, why is this world so unfair! I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled!"

He just doesn't want to do this!It's absolutely impossible to let him join forces!His heart was full of anger, and he wanted to rush out violently.

The shopkeeper noticed his expression, nodded secretly, and said, "I've said it before, this world is unfair. Well, I've told you enough today, let's stop here."

"Remember, when you leave this door, you will rot in your heart what you said tonight. I can't recognize a single word. After tonight, I will still treat you the same way as before, and I won't take care of you specially."

Xu Xian made a solemn salute to the shopkeeper: "I will remember all your words. I will remember your kindness to me, and I will be grateful."

"Let's go." The shopkeeper urged, "I won't keep you anymore."

Xu Xian responded and left Bao Zhitang full of thoughts.

What he didn't know was that shopkeeper He, who had worked with him for several months, changed his appearance soon after he left, and turned back into a graceful young girl in white—it was An Xiu.

That's why "Treasurer He" specially emphasized again at the end that he would not admit what he said tonight when he went out, and he would not deliberately take care of Xu Xian afterwards, in order to avoid that when the real shopkeeper He came back tomorrow, Xu Xian would find something strange.

What An Xiu said was like opening up a new world to Xu Xian.For the first time, he broke through the shackles of his original thinking, and began to jump out to examine himself from a new perspective.

It's a good start, although I'm still a bit confused and lost.He realized some things, some tips on what to do to make his life better, but he was not reconciled, he didn't want to follow the crowd, he didn't want to join the crowd.

So, he began to have a vague thought, a thought that he couldn't hold back once it arose.

He wants to change the world!

And the first step to change this world is to understand the laws of this world's operation and really enter this world!

Let's talk about An Xiu.

After giving advice to Xu Xian with the appearance and tone of Bao Zhitang He's shopkeeper, An Xiu happily returned to the Spirit Snake Cave.

As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Qing greeted her with a bitter face: "Sister, why are you coming back at this time? I have been waiting for you for a long time."

An Xiu asked her: "During the time I was away, did you do your homework well?"

Xiao Qing nodded vigorously: "Of course, I really did! I followed your instructions and truly achieved the 'sister's presence and absence'. I did my homework very seriously, hard, and hard! Really!"

An Xiu smiled slightly: "Then, have you learned all the spells I asked you to practice?"

Xiao Qing said hesitantly: "That... this... my sister, I practiced for a long time, many times, but... I just didn't learn it. But I really practiced seriously!" Looking at An Xiu pitifully.

Anxiu: "Hehe. Then continue to practice!" I also know that this Xiao Qing is lying again, and she must be stealing, cheating and fishing in troubled waters again.Don't look at her pitiful appearance of aggrieved, it's all a faux pas, An Xiu has long been immune to it.

Xiao Qing unhappily coiled herself on the stone pillar: "Sister, it's not fair. You went out to play for a long time, but locked me in the cave to practice! You had a great time, but I was almost suffocated to death."

Then she wrinkled her nose and asked in doubt: "Hey, where did the smell of medicine come from? Where did you go today, sister?"

An Xiu said indifferently: "I passed a pharmacy on the way, probably got it at that time."

Now Xiao Qing was even more puzzled: "Pharmacy? We are snake monsters. Why do we need to go to a pharmacy in this world? Even if there is something wrong with the body, it's not something they can see."

Then she suddenly thought of something, and suddenly realized: "Sister, you must have gone to Bao Zhitang, right? Could it be that you went to find that very handsome Xu Xian? I remember very clearly, that day he clearlyI have said several times, 'Xiaosheng's surname is Xu Mingxian, and he is an apprentice of Bao Zhitang', just in case you forgot."

Now that she was guessed, An Xiu nodded without thinking of denying it.

Xiao Qing suddenly went crazy, and dragged her long tail to swim quickly in the cave: "Sister, you are too much! You clearly said that you don't like that Xu Xian, and there is no way you can play a love game with himBut he said one thing and did another, and went to him secretly!"

"I don't care, you found a handsome scholar to play with, and I want to find someone to play with! Although my appearance is not worse than my sister, but I am not bad, just wait, I must find a handsome man who is not worse than your Xu XianSir, come and play!"

An Xiu pulled her tail and brought her back: "Xiao Qing, I didn't lie to you. Although I went to find Xu Xian, I really didn't have that kind of intention towards him. You and my sister, I won't hide it from you, I came to him and helped him to repay his kindness, to end the karma between me and him in previous lives, only in this way can I cultivate into an immortal."

After speaking, An Xiu simply told Xiao Qing about Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian's entanglements in several lifetimes that she learned from the system.

Then she got Xiao Qing with sparkling eyes and an adoring face: "Wow, sister, you are so awesome, you were such a powerful big shot in your previous three lifetimes!"

"Nine-tailed fox demon Daji, that is the object of my Xiao Qing's great admiration! She can conquer such a strong King Zhou, and let him listen to her in everything, it is really amazing! 'Men conquer the world, women conquer men',That's right, that's it, we banshees are the same, we can easily own the whole world!"

"Baosi, that's the person I, Xiao Qing, really yearn for! She fascinates King Zhou You. She will do anything to please her, even to make her laugh. She is so capable.too big!"

"Feng Xiaolian, although she is not as famous as Daji and Baosi, the love story between her and the Empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty really moved me! The Empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty really loved her so much, and regarded her as more important than the country!"

"Sister, sister, you are my idol forever! I admire you so much, I admire you so much!"

An Xiu: "..." She didn't think it was something to be proud of.In every previous life of Bai Suzhen, the background was that people were devastated and wars were raging, and her own fate also ended in tragedy.

"But," Xiao Qing asked incomprehensibly, "sister, you were such a powerful person in previous lives. In this life, you should continue to work hard, continue your previous career, and enter the palace to be with the current emperor of Song Dynasty. With my sister, youWith such aptitude, he will definitely be favored by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, do as he pleases, turn the clouds upside down, and end this dynasty in less than ten years!"

An Xiu: "..." Her hobbies are really not about overthrowing the country and ruining the country!

An Xiu said with some helplessness: "Xiao Qing, have you forgotten that my original intention is to cultivate to become an immortal? Because of the previous three lives, I am not qualified to reincarnate as a human in this life, but can only be reincarnated as a little white snake, practicing hardIt took a hundred years to transform into a human form, and it took a thousand years of cultivation to reach this state. But if I really entered the palace to charm the Emperor of Song Dynasty and ruined his country as you said, I am afraid that the sky will not tolerate me anymore, and I will never have another lifeAlready!"

Xiao Qing said dissatisfied: "But that was all done willingly by King Zhou, King You, and the Empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty! Daji and Baosi didn't tie them up and force them to do this or that. Are they free?Their own choice! Is it too much to attribute the disaster of subjugation to these beauties?"

An Xiu patted Xiao Qing's head: "What you said is also reasonable, but the matter is over, it's useless to talk more. I just want to grasp the present moment, get the fate of immortality, and stand in this world with righteousness and integrity, and no longer dodge around for demons.So I must repay Xu Xian's favor."

Speaking of Xu Xian, Xiao Qing's face suddenly became a little strange: "Xu Xian, ahem, I never thought that King Zhou, King You, and the Empress of Northern Qi who were so powerful back then would voluntarily remove their emperor's roots and reincarnate into a life that they can't do now.Xu Xian, who can't be picked on shoulders and has nothing but a good-looking face!"

"Are you saying that he has been hit so hard that his brain is broken? Is he tired of living in a dignified position and wants to experience the life of ordinary people at the bottom? It's really... so incredible."

It's quite amazing, but if you think about it again, it's not incomprehensible.

If you get tired of eating big fish and meat, you will feel that porridge and side dishes are rare delicacies; if you see too many dignified ladies, you will feel that the village girls in the mountains and fields have a special style; if you wear too many gorgeous brocade clothes, you will feel that the coarse clothes are low-key and connotative;After a long time, feel that the farm food has returned to its original nature; after being in the position of honor for a long time, feel that the high place is extremely cold, and yearn for the lively atmosphere of ordinary people.

Just like the seven fairies in "Pairing of Immortals", she just left the noble princess of heaven instead of doing it, ran to the mortal world to marry a servant, and lived a happy life of "you plow the field, I weave, and you fetch water."Come and water my garden" days?

It's just a siege!I just think other people's homes are good!

"Then sister, how are you going to help Xu Xian?" Xiao Qing was eager to try, "How about we pretend to be sick, ask him to heal by name, and then give him a plaque of a miracle doctor?"

An Xiu shook her head: "This kind of trick is too easy to be exposed."

Xiao Qing continued to think of ideas: "Then let's help him teach those two doctors Zhang and Xu who bullied him, and that middle-aged man who doesn't have long eyes?"

An Xiu warned her: "You are not allowed to cause trouble!" Xiao Qing's lesson is not a small lesson, I am afraid that it will directly scare people into serious illness.

Xiao Qing curled her lips, and had another thought: "Yes! Didn't Xu Xian not be able to continue his studies and test his fame because of the mediocre conditions of his sister and brother-in-law's family, and had to switch to medical books to become an apprentice in a medical school? Why don't I think about it?"Find a way to give him some money, so that he doesn't have to worry about money anymore, and he can continue to take the imperial examination if he wants to. If he wants to be a doctor, it's not impossible to open a medical clinic by himself, so he doesn't have to be angry with others anymore!"

An Xiu instantly remembered a certain popular mythological drama adapted from "Legend of the White Snake", in which there was a plot of Xiao Qing stealing money, and her heart raised her throat: "What are you going to do with money?"

Xiao Qing said: "Of course, wherever there is a lot of money, I will go there to get it." The word "take" is really easy to say.

An Xiu asked, "Where?"

Xiao Qing took it for granted: "The government's treasury! I heard that it is all the money allocated by the imperial court, but there are too many. I just take tens of taels and hundreds of taels from him, and they won't find out if they measure it."

really!

An Xiu raised his forehead: "That's official money, with a mark! You stole the money there and gave it to Xu Xian. Are you helping him or harming him? A prison disaster fell from the sky!"

Xiao Qing was dumbfounded: "Then...then I will find a way to melt the official money so that no one can see it, and then give it to Xu Xian? Then there will be no problem."

An Xiu continued to support his forehead: "Xu Xianping got a large amount of wealth for no reason, and the government happened to be stolen. No one will connect these two things and notice the difference? Xiao Qing, my sister begs you, you must be careful before doing things."Discuss with me first, don't act privately, okay?"

Xiao Qing responded aggrievedly: "Okay. I know I don't understand anything, and I will only cause trouble for my sister."

An Xiu patted her head: "No, Xiao Qing, you are fine. I understand your feelings."

"It's just that the matter of repaying Xu Xian's favor is of great importance, and no mistakes are allowed. I have to do it myself."

So, for the next six months, from time to time, An Xiu would take Xiao Qing in disguise to go to Bao Zhitang to observe Xu Xian's situation, and to inquire about his recent situation nearby.

And Xu Xian's changes in the past six months are quite big!
