The few of them chatted for a while, and Wen Jingyan proposed that he would like to meet Jiang Erlang, because he also practiced medicine, and wanted to see Jiang Erlang's pulse.
Naturally, Old Man Jiang did not disagree and immediately got up and took the three of them to his second son's house.
The children in the village followed him from a distance, talking a lot all the way, wondering where the distinguished guest came from to visit the Jiang family.
When passing Sanlang's house, Old Man Jiang introduced, "This is my third son's home."
Wen Jingyan saw a big deer in the yard at a glance. The big deer had a saddle on its back. It was obviously used as a mount for others.
He couldn't help being surprised and wanted to go in and have a look.
When I walked into Jiang Sanlang's house, I saw several sheds built in the yard, a large oven, a mat spread under an apple tree, and four little boys sitting on the mat playing Kong Mingsuo.
Old Man Jiang said with a smile: "The older one is from my eldest son's family, and the second son's family, and the twins are from my third son's family."
"Oh." Wen Jingyan smiled and said, "Brother Jiang's family is prosperous."
"Haha, blah blah blah." Old Man Jiang stroked his beard and smiled heartily.
Since there were no adults at Sanlang's house, Wen Jingyan couldn't stay long, so he went to Jiang Erlang's house with Old Man Jiang.
At this moment, Jiang Erlang was dividing the golden ear plants at home. Suddenly he heard someone coming and hurriedly came out of the bamboo shed.
"Erlang, this old Mr. Wen wants to come and feel your pulse." Old Man Jiang said directly.
Jiang Erlang came forward to greet them, introduced each other again, and they walked into the main room.
Wen Jingyan took Jiang Erlang's pulse and found that he was indeed very healthy. He stroked his beard, nodded and smiled and said, "Brother Jiang is in good health. I'm glad to say that."
Jiang Erlang scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
Even he himself had almost forgotten about being sick. He didn't expect anyone to still care about him.
After sitting for a while, Wen Jingyan and the other three got up and walked outside, but they still had no intention of leaving.
When Old Man Jiang saw it, he must leave some food for himself.
Since we are leaving a meal, we must invite someone to accompany us.
So Chen Sanyou, the patriarch of the Chen clan, and his wife once again came to the Jiang family to have dinner.
Fortunately, the Jiang family has money now, so it is no problem to set up several tables a day.
If it were left to the past, entertaining guests so frequently would really make a family poor.
At the dinner table, the topic of the Jiang family’s golden ear cultivation naturally came up.
Patriarch Chen and Chen Sanyou were about to speak but stopped talking, but due to the distinguished guests coming today, they did not talk in depth.
Then we talked about the rivers and mountains here.
Wen Jingyan smiled and said: "I don't want to leave such a beautiful place."
Patriarch Chen answered with a smile: "Mr. Chen might as well stay here for a while. Chen's house is quite spacious. If Mr. Chen doesn't mind it, he can take a rest in Chen's shabby room."
I really thought that Mr. Wen who was passing by here would decline politely, but Wen Jingyan smiled and nodded: "It is better to obey your orders than to be respectful, so I will disturb you."
Patriarch Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said: "That's great. Later I will ask my family to clean up two rooms for my husband to live in."
So Mr. Wen lived with his grandson Wen Hengchuan.
However, although the two of them lived in Patriarch Chen's house, they couldn't afford to eat and use other people's things every day.
Wen Hengchuan asked his attendants to buy food and dishes to send to the family of Chief Chen.
Of course, I also gave a lot to the Jiang family.
The grandfather and grandson lived like this, walking around every day. After walking around, they walked to Jiang's house and had a very interesting chat with old man Jiang.
This was the first time in his life that Old Man Jiang met such a humble nobleman, so he was naturally willing to chat with him for a few more words.
Wen Jingyan is knowledgeable in medicine and can roughly tell what is wrong with a person's body just by looking at his complexion.
But everyone in the Jiang family seems to have rosy complexions and healthy bodies. When compared with the surrounding villagers, the gap is obvious.
Especially Jiang Sanlang's family, the woman is fair and soft, the three children are beautiful, and Jiang Sanlang is strong and handsome. If they were not wearing coarse clothes and plain cloth, Wen Jingyan would have thought that this family was the son of a high-ranking family.
On this day, Wen Jingyan and his eldest grandson were taking a leisurely walk in the village and "accidentally met" the young daughter of the Jiang San family riding a deer.
"Your name is Yingbao." Wen Jingyan asked with a smile.
Yingbao nodded and suddenly thought of Sister Wen.
I wanted to ask Grandpa Wen if there was a girl named Wen Shu at home, but I couldn't.
Not only couldn't she ask, she couldn't even mention it.
Wen Jingyan saw that the child's eyes were moving and he seemed to have an idea, so he asked: "I heard from your grandfather that you can already write and read?"
Yingbao: "Yeah, I learned it from brother Yuanbao."
"Then do you want to study medicine?" Wen Jingyan asked with a smile.
Ying Bao's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly: "Think! Grandpa Wen wants to accept me as his apprentice?"
Wen Jingyan touched his beard and said with a smile: "I no longer accept apprentices, but my family has a clan school and a women's school. If you are willing, and your parents agree, I will take you back to school."
"Then where is your home?" Yingbao asked.
If she was in the county town, she could go, because her father would go to the county town every month or two to sell gold ears, which would not delay her meeting her family.
"Not in the county town. My family is in Yuzhou, nearly a thousand miles away from here."
"It's so far." Ying Bao quickly shook her head: "I won't go."
Just kidding, she had never been thousands of miles away in her previous life.
Besides, she doesn't want to be separated from her parents and brothers.
Wen Jingyan stroked his beard, but he didn't feel any regret.
Ying Bao secretly looked at the old man with the white beard, and then at the young man next to him, but didn't realize that they were similar to Sister Wen.
"Grandpa Wen, do you have a little sister who is eight or nine years old in your family? She is about the same age as my sister Dani."
Wen Jingyan smiled and said, "That's a lot."
Ying Bao rolled her eyes and asked, "Then what are their names?"
Wen Jingyan glanced at the little girl, and instead of being impatient, he said seriously: "I have many granddaughters in my family, and many of them can't even remember their names."
Ying Bao felt a little regretful, let out a long sigh, and lowered her head.
Sister Wen never mentioned the names of her family members, nor the name of her pharmacy, but she seemed to have mentioned once that she had a younger brother also named Bao'er, who had a similar name to hers.
But Bao'er is usually a nickname, and only those closest to him would call her that. Old Man Wen doesn't even know his granddaughter's name, and he probably doesn't even know his grandson's nickname.
Seeing that the little girl was a little unhappy, Wen Hengchuan on the side asked curiously: "Why did Yingbao ask their names?"
He had never seen a little baby ask such a question.
Yingbao blinked and made up a random lie, "Because I want to play with them. Now the eldest and second sisters are very busy and have no time to play with me."
Wen Hengchuan supported his forehead.
"I see there is a school in your village. Since you can read, why don't you go to the school with your little cousin?" It's better than wandering alone outside.
"Because the master of the school does not allow girls to enter the school." Ying Bao said.
Wen Jingyan glanced at his eldest grandson.
Wen Hengchuan suddenly realized that he had just asked a stupid question and coughed uncomfortably.
Hey, if you talk to a little baby, your IQ will drop if you don't pay attention.
Although the Great Qian Dynasty did not prohibit women from going to school, after all, women's education only existed among officials or wealthy families, and not in small mountain villages like this.
Not only are women unable to go to school, many men also have no chance to read.
