Chapter 229 The second apprentice
When he returned to the clinic, the entire street at the entrance was surrounded and the Du family's carriage could not be entered. In the end, Du Shaoqing had to ask his wife to return to the Marquis' Mansion first and squeeze in to see what was going on. He hadn't thought that all this was because of his clinic, and Cui Hao from the Cui family of Qinghe was taking the exam.
"Man, how is Mr. Cui's grades? Why has it been more than an hour and not seen yet?" A pervert asked loudly.
"Can you fall asleep in the exam room?" A passerby guessed.
This sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter. Who is Mr. Cui? He came to the exam seriously, so how could he sleep in the exam room?
"No, if he finished all of it, wouldn't he be able to sleep for a while if he had nothing to do? After all, it was warm inside..." the man explained.
Someone laughed and said, "Will that person finishes the paper? Where can't he sleep?"
...Okay, that's right. He talks all the same, and he has all kinds of guesses and chats. The book boy from the Cui family is powerless to argue for his young master. There are too many people talking about it, so he has a mouth.
The guy Erhu had no choice but to come forward and dissuade him: "Everyone, everyone, Mr. Cui has finished answering the questions, but the shopkeeper needs to review the answers. Where can I understand those things? So please be careful..."
Just then, a commotion came from outside the crowd. Get out of the way. Doctor Du came back and everyone hurriedly made way for Du Shaoqing.
Seeing Du Shaoqing coming back, Erhu hurriedly stepped forward and whispered for a while to explain the situation. Du Shaoqing came to the examination room without stopping.
In the exam room, Cui Hao sat upright and pondered. The test paper was placed in front of him. He sighed and shook his head from time to time. When he saw Du Shaoqing coming in, he stood up with a look of ugly expression.
When I picked up the test paper, I saw that, huh? This Mr. Cui is indeed capable. He is not like the legendary children who have been influenced by poetry and etiquette since childhood. He can actually answer eight math questions? Could it be that he is a mathematics genius?
"Mr. Cui's answer sheet can be said to be the best answer I have seen since the start of the exam. The answer sheets from His Majesty and all officials are not as good as you answered correctly." Du Shaoqing nodded and praised.
Cui Hao said proudly: "I have countless books in the Cui family. Since I was a child, I can say that I have read the school of hundreds of schools of thought and do not focus on Confucianism. It is not difficult to answer these numerical questions."
Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "But I still haven't answered two questions. I lost. You deserve to be the name of the number one talented man in the Tang Dynasty."
Hum? Du Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "It turns out that the young master came for this name? Why is this? Now that you have also seen the test paper, is it your wish and can go back?"
Mr. Cui raised his eyebrows: "Hmm? Do you look down on Cui?"
Erhu went over and pulled Du Shaoqing and whispered: "Shopkeeper, this young man is certainly scheming and said that if he passed the exam, he would come to be an apprentice."
Du Shaoqing scolded, and a guy dared to speak like this in front of the customer. It was too rude, but on the other hand, he was indeed puzzled: "Mr. Cui really wants to be an apprentice in my small shop?"
"Gentleman Yifu, I'm not here to make trouble, but I'm not interested in studying medicine. I only know how to be an apprentice here for a day. I'll leave after I keep my promise." Cui Hao said seriously.
Well, Du Shaoqing said you are really justified. In front of your boss, you told me that after signing the contract, you will resign after a day of work? Who dares to ask you for such an attitude?
However, Du Shaoqing didn't care much. In addition to being a little pretentious, this young man has a good character and a very personality, which is not annoying. So he ordered Erhu to prepare accommodation conditions for him. Even if he only had one day apprenticeship, his treatment would not be bad.
Du Shaoqing went out to explain to the onlookers that Mr. Cui passed the exam and was willing to stay in the clinic to apply for an apprentice. The people were upset. While amazed Mr. Cui's talent, they were even more surprised. This Mr. Du is really a newborn calf. He dares to accept anyone. Are you not afraid that the Cui family will cause trouble for you?
Shutong's face was covered in dust, and she turned around and disappeared into the crowd. She must have gone back to report the message to Cui Junsu.
Turning back to the backyard of the clinic, Wuhu suddenly rushed to the front and shouted, "Shopkeeper, something happened, Li Yan was robbed."
Hum? Li Yan? Cui Hao, who was standing beside him, thought, if he remembered correctly, the sixth prince of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be named Li Yan, why is he in this clinic?
What? Du Shaoqing pretended to be surprised and hurriedly took people to check in the backyard. However, at this time, Li Yan's room was empty and the seats were a little messy. It should be traces left by the criminals when they arrested people. Unfortunately, Li Yan was only fourteen years old and basically had no ability to resist, so he was easily arrested.
"You stay and take care of several children. I will report to Your Majesty now." After Du Shaoqing said that, he quickly walked out.
When he left the house, Du Shaoqing was still nervous and anxious? He was strolling in the crowd and wandering around. This was completely a discussion with His Majesty. Li Yan was not easy to discipline and could not endure hardships. A team of people from the Hundred Riders took action, pretending to be human traffickers, and snatched it away and sold it to the poorest nearby place. After half a year of labor reform, it might have miraculous results.
Of course, there are naturally people who need to take care of nearby areas during this period, as long as there is no death.
So Li Yan was tragic, and was robbed in a confused manner and sold it to the mountains. In other words, there was no black coal mine or the like in this year, otherwise the educational environment would be better for naughty children.
After walking around outside, Du Shaoqing pretended to be frustrated and came back. The princess also heard the news and came to the clinic. When she saw her husband coming back, she went up to ask with concern. Du Shaoqing only said that His Majesty had taken over and found someone. The matter was serious and the news must be blocked. No one was allowed to discuss this matter.
During dinner, Xiao Xuanxuan asked her sixth uncle curiously where she went. Everyone lied to her and said she was sent home. Although the six-year-old Di Renjie felt that the atmosphere was wrong, he was too young after all, and he could not have thought that something happened to Li Yan.
The princess couldn't swallow her meals. The father gave the person to her sister. Now that something happened to her, she couldn't explain it.
Apart from Xiao Xuanxuan, the little foodie, the only new Cui Hao eats very sweetly. Although he is from a wealthy family, this is the first time he has eaten such a delicacy. It can be said that the restaurants in Datang are not as skilled as the chefs in this clinic. Thinking of this, Cui Hao thought to himself, are you considering working here for two more days, and at least you should enjoy the food.
"Everyone have a good meal. The clinic will open on the first day tomorrow, so it will be very busy. Have a good rest tonight." Du Shaoqing reminded.
When Du Shaoqing went back to bed at night, he told his wife Li Yan about it. The princess sighed. Why didn’t she say such a thing earlier? It made everyone feel worried.
