Chapter 87 Xiaohong, are you here to play with me? (Please subscribe and vote)

Not long after practicing, Chen Yushu heard a greeting. He turned around and saw that it was Manager Zhou.

"Your father is here."

Manager Zhou shouted.

"Ok."

Chen Yushu was startled, nodded quickly and ran downstairs quickly.

Then, he saw his father standing at the door of the pharmacy, looking a little hesitant.

"Jade Book."

Seeing Chen Yushu, Chen Baihe's eyes lit up. He stepped forward and patted his shoulder. Noticing that he had grown taller, he couldn't help but say, "You've grown taller and stronger... I heard that you've become your shopkeeper's apprentice? What's going on?"

Last time, your uncle Chen Ping said that you had become an apprentice in making medicine.

By the way, I have received the ten taels of silver that you asked your uncle Chen Ping to bring over.

I haven't asked you about this yet, where did you get the money?"

"I took our shopkeeper as my master and learned martial arts from him. This happened a few days ago, and Uncle Chen Ping didn't know about it either."

Chen Yushu nodded quickly and explained it again.

Before, the hunter Chen Ping in the village did come and help his father send some winter clothes. That's why Chen Yushu took ten taels of silver and sent it over.

The reason why he only sent out ten taels of silver was because he only had ten taels of silver on him at the time, and most of the silver was kept at home.

"What about the silver? What happened?"

Chen Baihe asked.

This is what worries him the most.

The Chen family has always been honest and doesn't want their son to make any mistakes.

"Last time, I was lucky and caught a precious fish. I exchanged it with Manager Zhou for some silver. You can find out if you ask him about it.

It’s just that I didn’t have that much money with me at the time, so I only sent ten taels.

I still have thirty or forty taels."

Chen Yushu explained with a smile.

This is also the obvious source of his money, and he said this to reassure Chen Baihe.

"This……"

Chen Baihe was stunned and could only say, "That's good, that's good."

Seeing this, Chen Yushu felt that it was not good to stand at the door all the time, so he hurriedly invited his father to go upstairs. Chen Baihe waved his hand and said, "I'll leave after standing for a while.

This time, I came here to sell some yams and also to see you.

Now that I see you are doing well, I feel relieved."

Chen Baihe waved his hand, then thought for a moment and said, "Oh, by the way, your mother is pregnant."

"what?"

Chen Yushu was stunned.

……

Before his father left, Chen Yushu handed over another fifteen taels of silver. It was not that he didn't want to give more, but if he gave too much, it would be difficult to explain.

In addition, he also suggested that his parents move to Jianghuan Town.

But Chen Baihe rejected it outright. His ancestors had lived in Beijiao Village for eight generations. How could they just move away?

He did not dare to mention the fact that all the ancestors in the ancestral hall were gone, nor did he mention the "big fish" in the village, but he was always a little worried.

Especially now that my mother is pregnant again...

But he had no way to deal with this matter and could only take it one step at a time.

in the afternoon.

After lunch, Chen Yushu went straight to Ningjing Academy.

Inside Wenchang Pavilion.

Chen Yushu selected a bunch of books, found a familiar seat, and started reading.

At this moment, he was reading an article written by a great scholar named Li Wenshu. It was a policy paper on governing the country and improving people's livelihood, and also a reform method. It even mentioned measures such as opening more schools, offering free tuition, allowing both men and women to study together, judging local gentry and bullies, and evenly distributing land and returning it to the people...

Some of them are really refreshing. The arguments and implementation plans are very clear. For the first time, it is proposed to use a county as a test...

Unfortunately, it was mentioned in the final text that this policy proposal was rejected before it was submitted to the emperor's chopping board for reviewing memorials.

Afterwards, Li Wenshu was demoted and sent back to his hometown, and his official career was cut short.

"Can you understand this book?"

After finishing the whole book, just when Chen Yushu was about to change to another one, a voice suddenly rang out.

Chen Yushu looked up and saw an old man with silver hair, over 60 years old, and a few age spots on his face. He knew that in the academy, those who could enter the Wenchang Pavilion were either students or teachers.

He was just borrowing the books to study here, so he didn't want to be too arrogant, so he replied, "I only understand a little bit."

"Oh?

Whose student are you and what is your name?

The old man asked again.

"I just like reading, so I borrowed books from the academy to read. I am not anyone's student."

Chen Yushu replied.

"So what do you think? Is this policy paper well written or not?"

The old man couldn't help but ask.

"Good and bad."

Chen Yushu said frankly.

"What's good about it? What's bad about it?"

The old man had a puzzled look on his face.

“The intention is good.

But it was inappropriate and misjudged the situation.

Even if this policy proposal is handed over to the emperor, it will not be implemented."

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Because, broadening people's knowledge and making everyone read is only beneficial to the people, not to the officials."

Chen Yushu replied. "It only benefits the people, but not the officials?"

The old man was also stunned for a moment. As a scholar, he certainly understood that in any dynasty, the resources were controlled by the upper class.

Only the children of officials, clan gentry, rich farmers and businessmen had the opportunity to study.

Although ordinary people could also read, the tuition fees paid to teachers and the lack of labor after graduation were a huge burden.

If everyone could attend school for free, the first ones to suffer would be the children from wealthy families, and the struggle for power would become even more fierce than it is now.

This is something no upper class person would want to see.

After Chen Yushu finished speaking, he ignored the old man, changed to another book, and continued reading.

His words seemed to have stunned the other party, making him unable to move for a long time.

Until another middle-aged teacher came in and greeted, "Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

"it's okay no problem……"

The old man shook his head, walked up to Chen Yushu and said, "Do you also want to study in our college?

If you want, I am willing to introduce you to the school."

"In no mood!"

Chen Yushu shook his head and said.

"In no mood?
Since you like reading, why don't you go to school? Isn't it better to have a teacher to teach you?
And it may be possible for you to pass the imperial examinations in the future."

The old man was stunned and asked anxiously.

"I can study and read books here, why do I need to go to school?"

Chen Yushu reads books not for the purpose of achieving something in the future, but entirely to improve his skills.

And this old man had been beside him all the time, which had already made him a little irritated, so he said, "Old man, you are disturbing my reading."

The old man was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

The middle-aged scholar beside him was furious when he heard this. He was about to step forward, but was stopped by the old man, "Then you should study."

But finally he stopped disturbing me.

Chen Yushu naturally knew that the identity of this old man might not be simple.

It is very likely that he is an old teacher or old gentleman.

But he entered the academy to read books only to improve his reading skills and to reach a higher level of meditation.

Naturally, I don’t want to go to any school and attend classes with other students.

When I got home, it was already dark.

After Chen Yushu completed his routine practice of standing meditation and Medicine King Locking Power, he went straight to the study.

After several days of practice, he finally gained some confidence and drew the last talisman in the Chaoyang Talisman Book.

Lightning talisman!
The lightning-inducing talisman has a total of nineteen rune structures.

Even though his current state of meditation had reached the great level of meditation, it still took him two or three days to finally gain some confidence.

Now is the time to verify.

Chen Yushu put down the talisman paper, pressed it with the soul-breaking ruler, then picked up the talisman pen and applied talisman ink.

The next moment, he entered into a state of meditation and began practicing again.

One rune, two runes...

After several days of practice, he has already mastered the nineteen rune structures of the lightning-inducing talisman. Now all he needs is the last step.

Combine these 19 rune structures from beginning to end, merge them into one, and include them together in the talisman.

This is also not an easy thing to do.

You need to have a full understanding of the rune structure and the entire talisman itself.

Fortunately, Chen Yushu is not lacking in patience.

Even if you fail again and again, you can make adjustments quickly and try again and again.

While Chen Yushu started to draw talismans, Xiaoyin was playing alone outside the study.

She had long known that the study was where Brother Yu Shu worked, and there were many auras in it that made her feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, she usually would not enter that room, and she dared not to enter.

Huhu~
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the temperature around seemed to drop several degrees in a short period of time.

Xiaoyin immediately turned her gaze to the outside of the door, and happened to see a head sticking out from outside the door and above the courtyard wall.

This head also looks like a little girl, but the eyes are a little red.

If you stand outside the door, you can even see that her whole body is red.

“Xiao Hong!
Xiaohong, are you here to play with me? "

Seeing this, Xiaoyin suddenly laughed and ran over happily.

The little girl outside the wall also showed a smile in her red eyes.

Then the two little girls jumped and ran out.

……

"It's finally done!"

Chen Yushu drew the final stroke.

Then I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, he immediately felt the surrounding vital energy fluctuating violently. There were special forces that, as if being inexplicably attracted, quickly poured into the talisman paper on the table.

Then he picked up the talisman. Although it was thin, it felt quite heavy in his hand.

This is because the talisman contains sufficient talismanic power.

“Thunder-inducing talisman. Thunder-inducing talisman.

This talisman should be the most powerful one among all the talismans I have. "

Chen Yushu was very clear about the power of thunder magic.

Looking at this talisman, I feel a sense of satisfaction.

Of course, Chen Yushu would not have too many of these talismans. After drawing one, he immediately began to draw talismans with all his strength.

Soon, he drew the second picture, the third picture... He stopped only after the fifth picture.
