"Sister, brother-in-law, I don't want to study medicine anymore, I want to continue studying and take the imperial examination." Xu Xian said, "I plan to visit the dean of Hongru Academy and see if I can study in his academy."

Li Xu was taken aback: "Why do you want to go back to study again?"

After thinking for a while, Li Dalang understood Xu Xian's intention: "Brother, you are doing this for us. But, you don't have to."

Li Xu also suddenly realized, she took Xu Xian's hand with tears in her eyes and began to express her heartfelt feelings: "My brother, alas, I have suffered so much for you. For us, you came up with the idea of returning to the academy. But, why not?"As for that?"

A man does not flick his tears easily, just because he has not reached the sad place, or has not encountered something that moved him.Right now, Li Dalang has met him, so he is a tall and thick man, with dazzling tears in his eyes: "Yes, brother, in order for our family to have something to rely on, and not to be bullied like today, youI have no choice but to give up being a teacher of Dr. Chen in Le Shoutang, and start studying again! But how can we be willing to let you suffer such a big grievance!"

Xu Xian: "???" Why did my sister and brother-in-law say that?He didn't feel that reading was hard.They must have misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained: "Sister, brother-in-law, I returned to the academy to study not because of necessity, but because I really like it! I have no grievances at all!"

Li Dalang held Xu Xian's hand tightly, choked up and said, "Brother, you don't need to say any more, I understand your good intentions for our family, all your explanations are just excuses to make me and your sister feel at ease."

Li Xu wiped his tears and said: "Yes, it's really hard for you, Brother."

Li Dalang continued: "That's right, brother-in-law, brother-in-law only hates himself for not being able to let you guys live a good life. It's just that you won't be able to make such a big sacrifice for your family at such a young age!"

Xu Xian: "..."

For the first time, he knew that his sister and brother-in-law were so good at brainstorming!

What a young age, he is obviously almost 20 years old, he is in his prime, isn't he?Just a moment ago, they were still feeling that he had grown up and could take care of things?A few days ago, didn't you plan to build a house for him and talk about marriage?Why did he suddenly say that he was young again?

Also, why did he suffer, why did he have to go back to study, why did he make such a big sacrifice for his family, how could there be?He obviously likes reading, he likes it very much!

This misunderstanding is really big!

Xu Xian shook his head, sighed, and seriously stated his thoughts to Li Dalang and Li Xushi.He said it several times, and it took a long time before they realized with suspicion that their younger brother was really willing to continue studying.

Li Dalang only felt that his cognitive world had been greatly impacted: "Is there really someone who likes to read for fun? I thought that people in the world read books just to test their fame, otherwise who would be willing to suffer the crime of studying hard for more than ten yearsAh." If An Xiu hears his words, she will definitely feel that he and Xiao Qing are really the same way, and the scumbags see the same thing!

Xu Xian emphasized again: "Brother-in-law, I really like reading."

It's just that Li Dalang and Li Xu believed it, but they had to start thinking about practical issues.

Li Xu said hesitantly: "Brother, it's not my sister who hit you, but you have studied for so many years and took the county examination three times, but you failed each time. I thought, although you have a good memory, you haveMaybe it’s really not material for reading.”

"On the other hand, in terms of medical skills, Dr. Chen praised you very much, saying that you are extremely talented. Dr. Chen has high hopes for you. If there is no accident, he will officially accept you as a doctor in a few months.Close disciple."

Now Li Dalang also hesitated: "Brother, have you really made up your mind? Following Dr. Chen, with your qualifications, within a few years, you will definitely become a good doctor with superb medical skills and respected by everyone.We have it, we have our status, and we have a stable income.”

"And if you go back to school, you may study for another five or ten years and still get no results. After all, the road to imperial examinations is narrow and narrow, difficult and difficult, and there are very few people who can succeed. At that time, many years of time will be wasted.Years, but you didn't get anything, brother-in-law is afraid that you will regret it."

Xu Xian said firmly, "I don't regret it."

Mrs. Li Xu glanced at Li Dalang, sighed long and hard, and said with embarrassment: "But you don't regret it is just one of them. Well, I thought about it, let's forget about studying. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you go to Hongru or not.Entering the academy, you already have friendship with the dean, and with his face, most people would not think of bullying our family. It doesn’t really matter if you study or not.”

"And, more importantly, reading is a very expensive project after all. Brother, you are no longer young, and your brother-in-law... It's not a problem for you to read any more. You have to stand up on your own as soon as possible."After speaking, her voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible.

Li Dalang smiled boldly and said: "Young lady, I'm worrying too much. My younger brother was raised by me. He is no different from a real brother. It is too strange to talk about money. He has grown up now, and I will support him for another two years.It doesn't matter."

Li Xu bit her lip: "What about after two years? If he..." He didn't say any more.

Li Dalang was startled, but also fell silent.

Seeing this, Xu Xian felt extremely complicated, both sour and guilty.He bowed seriously to Li Dalang and Li Xu, and said: "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm sorry. I didn't think carefully enough to make you difficult."

Seeing him like this, Li Xu immediately felt distressed: "Forget it, if you want to continue studying, brother, you can study for as long as you want. You are my brother, how can I not care about you? Even if I support you foreverI am also willing. From tomorrow, I will resign from the girl at home and do the work by myself. If I find time to pick up more embroidery, I will definitely not make it hard for you!"

Li Dalang hurriedly said: "Lady, you have worked hard enough every day, how can you continue to work? This is not possible. How about this, I will find a way to find another helper at night, so that the family can do more.Some progress."

Li Xu refused: "How can this work? Your clerk at the grain store is also quite tired during the day, so you should have a good rest at night."

The husband and wife refused to push back and forth, and couldn't bear to make each other hard.Xu Xian looked at it, feeling very uncomfortable. He deeply felt that his sister and brother-in-law had paid too much for him over the years, while he was too ignorant. It was too much for them to support him at such an advanced age.pole.

"Sister, brother-in-law, let's talk about this later." Xu Xian forced a smile on his face, "I haven't made up my mind yet. Anyway, don't accept any more jobs. Even if you want to go back to study, I will figure it out myself."He still has to face, it is impossible to suck the blood of his sister and brother-in-law all the time.Oh.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing, who had been following the situation of Xu Xian's family, said triumphantly to An Xiu: "Look, sister, Xu Xian doesn't plan to go back to study! Our bet, I'm the one who wins! I finally beat you, sister!"

An Xiu shook her head: "That's not necessarily the case, don't say it so early. Xiao Qing, if a person is really determined to do something, he will try his best to work hard; if he is determined to take a certain path, that is, you have to climb over if you crawl, and you have to kneel over if you kneel."

Xiao Qing curled her lips: "It's so exaggerated, why are you so stubborn. If you can't get things done, let it go. If the road doesn't work, just change it. If you are too stubborn, you will only suffer." She thought very happily., snakes live in this world, the most important thing is to be happy!

An Xiu smiled and said, "There are always things that have to be done, and there are always paths that have to be walked."

Xiao Qing said: "I don't understand what you are talking about, sister, and I don't want to learn. I only care about one thing right now, what choice Xu Xian will make, and when will I win."

"By the way, sister, you can't cheat, but don't give him money."

In the final analysis, Xu Xian's current problem is money.There are two sayings that are good, "Money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible", "Ninety percent of the world's problems can be solved with money, and the remaining 10 percent of the problems can also be solved."It can be alleviated with money."It can be seen how important money is!

If my sister gave Xu Xianyin taels, wouldn't his current predicament be easily solved?Didn't she, Xiaoqing, lose easily?That's not okay!Xiao Qing thought so, so she deliberately put forward the condition that Xu An Xiu should not give Xu Xian financial support.

An Xiu smiled and replied, "Okay, I won't cheat, and I won't give him money." She is not Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing in the original plot, so she would not do the stupid thing of stealing official money to support Xu Xian.Give a man a fish, when is the head?As a man, he should think about solving problems by himself, instead of always waiting for someone to help and save him.

Let's talk about Xu Xian's side.

After all, Li Xu couldn't bear the failure of his younger brother's wish, so he proposed to give him the family's savings to study temporarily.And this money was originally intended to be used for building a house for him and marrying a wife.

Xu Xian refused: "My sister is not busy building a house, and I have no intention of marrying a wife for the time being." Because he already wanted to belong.Miss Bai, whom he met once and fell in love with at first sight, has already carved a deep imprint on his heart, which he will never forget.He worked so hard to improve himself because he hoped that when he saw her again one day, he would be worthy of her and be qualified to marry her.

"Besides, you and your brother-in-law have saved up these silver taels with great difficulty over the years. How can I use them?" Xu Xian said, "Keep them for yourself in case of emergencies. Don't worry about my sister here."

Originally, Li Xu still refused, but one day he suddenly became dizzy and nearly fell down. After Xu Xian's pulse diagnosis and found out that he was pregnant, he no longer insisted on giving him the money.Once you are pregnant and have a child, there will be many places to spend money in the future, so you really need to prepare some.

It's just that An Xiu was right, since Xu Xian was determined to walk, even if he was kneeling or crawling, he would go on, and he would definitely not give up so easily.

So, he began to do everything possible to make money!

He put down the airs of a former scholar, and set up a stall on the side of the road to write letters, couplets, and even complaints; he asked Li Dalang to introduce him to help his boss account when the Wugufengliang Store was too busy; he was too busy during the dayFei Qi, at night, he did not forget to take up work in the bookstore, staying up late copying books to make money.

However, Xu Xian was too soft-hearted.

He received very little money for writing letters and couplets for others; for writing complaints, he felt sorry for the injustice suffered by the other party, not to mention for free, but also paid for and helped;; That is to say, the income from accounting for the grain store is acceptable, but the accounting work is only done once a month, so it is not much money.

It's really hard to make money.

Xu Xian, full of troubles, went to Lingyin Temple to offer incense, hoping that the gods and Buddhas could show him a way to solve the problem.

Then he was kneeling on the futon and praying, when he heard a clear voice from behind: "Almsgiver, what troubles do you have? Why don't you tell me, maybe I can give you some pointers."

Xu Xian turned his head and saw a handsome young monk standing in front of him. His eyes were especially beautiful, like rippling blue waves, very agile.

Xu Xian frowned, and instinctively felt that the young monk was a little strange, so he politely rejected him and didn't want to pay more attention to him.However, as soon as the young monk stared at him with too good-looking eyes, he seemed to have fallen into an abyss, his body was completely out of control, and his consciousness was completely confused, as if he was being controlled. He would answer whatever the young monk asked.

The young monk asked: "Donor tell me quickly, what troubles do you have?"

Xu Xian replied involuntarily: "I want to go to Hongru Academy to study. In the future, I will take the exam to become a scholar, raise people or even Jinshi, and become an official in the court. The big one is to achieve my ambition, and the small one is to protect my family and prevent them from being bullied.It’s just that I’m too shy and have no money to study, so it’s really difficult.”

The young monk was taken aback: "You still have ambition? What kind of ambition?"

The look on Xu Xian's face was a little confused: "This... I'm still searching."

The young monk gave a "cut", thinking that this stupid scholar must be talking about the great way, and he didn't take it seriously: "Since you don't have the money to study, then don't read it. Reading is not something that ordinary people can do. How can reading be so easy?"Be careful that you spend money, effort, and time, but in the end you will end up with nothing, and you will get nothing at that time!"

"You are an ordinary little scholar. You can read characters, do accounts, and occasionally read your favorite scriptures and miscellaneous notes. You are a Jinshi in the imperial examination? You really think too much!"

Xu Xian's expression was full of dissatisfaction: "The ancients said, 'A prince and general would rather have a kind'? If you don't fight hard, no one knows how far you can go. I, Xu Xian, am not willing to live in such a muddle-headed way!"

The young monk grinned and said belittling words: "Just you? It's impossible. I don't think you are smart because of your appearance. You must fail the imperial examination. Just give up this idea. Let me tell you, humanDestiny, honor and disgrace, are basically decided when you are born, and they are all written in the book of life and death! Why do you have to struggle so hard? Resign your fate early."

In Xu Xian's eyes, there was a look of anger that couldn't be concealed: "'The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan'! I don't believe in fate. I believe that fate is in my own hands, not destined to be born! Even if I am not smart enough, even if my fate is notWell, I can always find a way to break it and step it under my feet!"

But the young monk scoffed at his ambition: "Who doesn't know big words? Who doesn't know how to dream? If you are really capable, you won't be able to study for so many years and fail even a child student. You have to change your studies.Medical books, go to Bao Zhitang as an apprentice."

"Now you have achieved some results in studying medicine, but you are dizzy again. If you don't go on the bright road, you have to go back to squeeze the single-plank bridge? I think your brain is really broken!"

Xu Xian was puzzled: "How do you know that I have never been admitted to Tongsheng, and I was an apprentice in Bao Zhitang, and now I have made some achievements in medicine?"

The young monk coughed twice: "Anyway, I just know, why do you care so much? All in all, your way of studying is definitely not going to work. You'd better listen to my advice and give up as soon as possible."

Xu Xian said stubbornly and firmly: "I won't give up! Shopkeeper He of Bao Zhitang once told me that my aptitude is good, but my disadvantage is that I don't know how to deal with others, and I met a bad teacher with a narrow mind.That's why I was named Luosunshan in the county examinations every time. But the teachers and teachers of Hongru Academy are all generous-minded people, I must try again."

The young monk laughed and said: "If you don't learn well, you will blame the teacher. You will make excuses for yourself. Besides, what can a shopkeeper of a medical center know, and what he says can be taken seriously? If he really knows so much, I will take the imperial examination and become an official in the imperial court." When the word "treasurer" was mentioned, his eyes flickered involuntarily.It's okay, my sister isn't here, otherwise, if she hears him speaking ill of her, it will be a disaster.

Xu Xian was very angry now: "This monk, you can look down on me, but you are not allowed to slander Shopkeeper He! You have no idea how secret Shopkeeper He is.Suddenly enlightened, it is better than ten years of reading!"

The young monk shrugged his shoulders very disrespectfully: "I know, because shopkeeper He...cough cough, anyway, you just can't do it!"stop.

Xu Xian was no longer affected by his words, and his eyes seemed to regain clarity.

Seeing this, the young monk quickly blinked his overly good-looking eyes vigorously: "Besides, if you are not reconciled, there is nothing you can do about it. You don't have the money to go to the academy, hehe."

Xu Xian's eyes that were about to become clear again returned to confusion, and he lowered his head in frustration.

The young monk said with a smile: "So, you should follow your original plan and worship Dr. Chen of Leshantang as your teacher. Go and be your doctor well!"

Xu Xian clenched his fists under his sleeves: "Is it really the only way to do this? But... I am not reconciled. There must be a way, there must be another way!"

The young monk saw that he was wavering and was about to make persistent efforts, but he felt a chill on the back of his neck. At some point, a kind-eyed, gray-haired old monk appeared and put his hand on his neck, smiling very kindly: "Qingfeng, youWhy don't you sit in meditation and come to the Buddhist hall to chat with the almsgiver?"

When the young monk saw the old monk, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and quickly shrank back and whispered: "Abbot, I just saw that the benefactor is not in a good mood, so I came to talk to him to relieve boredom."

"Really?" The old monk's thought-provoking gaze made the young monk tremble, and he dared not speak again.

"This benefactor, Qingfeng is mischievous and loves to talk nonsense the most. You must not take what he said to heart." The old monk glanced over, and Xu Xian returned to his original state.

Xu Xian smiled: "It's okay, I won't care, thank you Abbot."

The old monk nodded towards Xu Xian, and then disappeared from Xu Xian's sight extremely quickly.Xu Xian rubbed his eyes in surprise, he couldn't believe how fast the abbot, who was in his seventies, could walk so fast with a young monk in his hand.

"Sister, let go, my neck hurts!" The young monk Xiao Qing yelled, "Why are you walking so fast? There are no ghosts chasing after you!"

Old monk——An Xiu Can she not walk fast?

Although there are no ghosts chasing after him, there are monks chasing him!

The instinctive sense of urgency suppressed by similar species forced her to rush Xiao Qing to run as fast as possible!

In order to win the bet with her, Xiao Qing intentionally manipulated Xu Xian's mentality, but did she know that she would cause a catastrophe by doing so!

Is it a place like a temple where the snake monsters can come here casually?

It's so hard to die, and it's extremely unlucky, Lingyin Temple still has a distinguished guest visiting today.

This guest is none other than Zen Master Fa Hai, an eminent monk of Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang!

That's right, it's the Fa Hai who was always against Bai Suzhen in the original plot!
