Wu Lang briefly and concisely reduced the forty-six people to four people. Man Bao felt that there was no need to tell Bai Shan and Bai Erlang specifically, so when he returned, he saw the two of them immersed in reading and did not say a word.
, decided to discuss this topic when we have time.
Anyway, no matter whether their opponents are strong or not, they have to go all out before and during the exam.
Let's talk about this kind of thing after the exam. Ask around so you can get along with your classmates.
After all, they were admitted to the Imperial College in the same way.
The four masters and apprentices studied until late at night. Although Mr. Zhuang felt that time was tight, he felt that the study efficiency at night was not as good as in the morning, so he looked at the time and said: "Xu Zheng is over, go and wash up and go to bed. We will start tomorrow."
Study earlier."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang felt extremely tired after reading for a day, so they nodded and stood up.
Manbao also stood up.
Early the next morning, Man Bao was woken up by the sound of reading outside the window. She got up and went to the window to look outside. She saw that it was still gray outside and Bai Shan was standing under a lantern and endorsement with his hands behind his back.
Man Bao turned around and lay on the bed, whining with a headache. It was not even dawn yet, so what on earth were you doing getting up?
That being said, it is impossible to sleep if you are disturbed like this.
Man Bao could only get up and wash up, and soon he sat on the railing, yawning and looking at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan just finished reciting an article and invited Man Bao, "Would you like to recite it together?"
Man Bao shook his head, "Can't you go to the garden if you recite it? Do you have to recite it under my window?"
"The gentlemen are all up."
Man Bao quickly added: "Sir, you are too old to be young."
"Oh, I'm old now~~~"
Man Bao immediately changed his words and said, "Sir, I was disturbed by you."
After saying that, I turned around and found that my husband had not gone out. He was holding a book in the window and reading by the light. As if he noticed Man Bao's gaze, he raised his head from the book and glanced at her.
Man Bao immediately turned around and said to Bai Shan: "Okay, I'll endorse it with you. Where is Bai Er? Why don't you call him?"
"I screamed, but I couldn't wake him up."
Bai Shan was under great pressure now, and subconsciously wanted to get up early, so he woke up early in the morning.
He went out and walked around, and found that the lights had just turned on in his husband's room, but the rooms of the other two friends were dark, so he knew they were "sleeping in".
As their junior brother and senior brother, he felt that it was necessary for him to urge them to study, so he endorsed it under their window, but this seemed to be only useful to Man Bao.
There was not even a sound in Bai Erlang's room. He didn't know if he was sleeping deeply or if he was pretending on purpose.
Man Bao followed him to another place, and the two of them went to the small garden to endorse.
Daji lit a lamp for them, lit some spices to repel mosquitoes at their feet, then found a railing and sat down, closing his eyes and meditating.
Bai Shan and Man Bao sat opposite each other.
Man Bao remembered that what he had just memorized was "The Analects of Confucius" and asked: "Why are you still memorizing this instead of "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean"?"
"Review the past and learn the new. I'll go through it first. If there's anything you can't remember, read it as soon as possible. Don't you and your husband both say that most of the scriptures this time are from the Analects?"
Man Bao nodded and followed him along the way down.
By the time they had finished memorizing all twenty Analects, it would already be daybreak.
The two of them returned to the courtyard from the small garden, and happened to meet Bai Erlang coming out after washing his face. He said: "I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that someone kept reading "The Analects" in my ear, and finally chased me to the cliff.
On the edge, I must follow him. I clearly remembered it, but it seemed that I just couldn't open my mouth. I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely and still couldn't. In the end, I had no choice but to be thrown to the bottom of the cliff. It was scary.
Kill me!"
Bai Shan:……
Man Bao burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Bai Erlang looked at her angrily and said, "Why are you laughing? I've had a nightmare and you're still laughing. I guess it must be you who forced me to recite "The Analects of Confucius" yesterday, and that's why I had such a dream."
He looked at the two of them and saw that there seemed to be dew on their trousers, and couldn't help but be curious, "Where did you come back from this early in the morning?"
Bai Shan: "Garden."
"Why are you going to the garden so early in the morning?"
"Endorsement," Bai Shan said, "I have been read through the Analects of Confucius today."
When Bai Erlang heard this, he wailed and shouted: "You are too sinful. How early do you have to get up? Man Bao, please help me later."
Man Bao shook his head, "I helped you annotate the remaining chapters of The Analects last night. I drew a circle in front of the words and phrases that need special attention. You can carry them on your back this morning. I'm sure Mr.
If I want to lecture you on policies and poems, I will go to the drugstore to sit in the lecture hall and I will help you when I come back in the afternoon."
Bai Erlang obviously wanted Man Bao to tutor him more than his husband. After all, the pressures they faced were different. So he looked at Man Bao pitifully, hoping that she could temporarily give up her job at the drug store. Anyway, they had just arrived in the capital.
It’s okay to go to the doctor a few days later, right?
Man Bao ignored him, turned around and went back to the house, while adding, "I have already promised the patient that I can't make mistakes as a person, let alone as a doctor."
Man Bao put away his backpack, thought for a while, picked up a copy of "The Great Learning" and put it in. He decided to help Bai Er think about the Mo Yi and Tie Jing that this book might give him when he had time.
Aunt Rong also prepared breakfast.
Everyone came out to have breakfast together and then dispersed to copy the booklets and review the homework.
Wu Lang also went out with nine books in his arms and decided to try the water first.
Daji still sent Manbao to the door of Jishi Hall.
Man Bao stepped on the horse stool and got out of the car, turned around and took the basket from Daji's hand, "Go back and pick me up after noon."
Daji lowered his head and agreed, watching Man Bao enter Jishi Hall carrying a basket on his back before turning the carriage around and leaving.
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng didn't expect Man Bao to come so early, so he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Why did Dr. Xiao Zhou come so early? The other doctors haven't come yet."
Man Bao smiled and said, "I'll make some preparations in advance."
In the future, she will have her own separate clinic, so she will naturally have to make some preparations in advance.
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng led Man Bao into Dr. Gu's clinic and said with a smile: "Doctor Gu's things were moved there yesterday. From now on, this clinic will belong to Dr. Zhou."
Behind the thick cloth curtain is a consultation table, in front of the table is a stool, and behind the table is a chair.
There is a cloth curtain behind the chair, and behind the curtain are two small beds, separated by a pullable curtain.
Man Bao looked at it in surprise. This configuration was much better than the drug store in Yizhou City.
In Yizhou City, they all sit outside. The clinic only has two very small rooms with only one bed in them. Only patients who need to undress or can't sit or stand will be moved there.
Clinic.
Man Bao asked: "Are all pharmacies in the capital like this?"
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng had never been to other places, so he couldn't quite understand what Man Bao said. He could only nod his head blankly, "Yes."
He paused, thinking that Man Bao was dissatisfied, so he smiled and said, "If Dr. Zhou has any special requirements, please tell me and I will make arrangements."
