Bai Banxia agreed very much, this is similar to one-to-one tutoring.
The only problem is how to find this person and where to find him.
"By the way, Doctor Xu practices medicine in this area and knows a lot of people's conditions. I'll ask him about it later," Bai Banxia said.
When they got home, Doctor Xu was already at Bai's house, saying that he had been waiting for Bai Banxia for a long time.
Doctor Xu winked at her quietly, obviously he had helped her lie.
The quarrel in the Bai family was so loud, Doctor Xu would not have heard any news, and with the emotional intelligence he had accumulated over many years of practicing medicine, he would still be able to say this.
"I'm here to pay you back, and I just want to hand it over to you personally," Doctor Xu said.
"That's just right. I also have something to ask you." Bai Banxia said with a smile.
Everyone also noticed that Bai Shengming was back and brought his luggage with him. The old lady wanted to ask, but Doctor Xu was still there and she held back.
"My Erlang brother wants to find a scholar to be his teacher, so he can study hard and see if he can be admitted as a scholar later." Bai Banxia said.
After hearing this, Dr. Xu said: "The second son of your family is not a boy, right? If you want to be a scholar, someone needs to recommend him."
Bai Banxia quickly looked at Qi Zhen. She, a modern person, really didn't know this rule, and her predecessor didn't either. Qi Zhen shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know either.
"But it doesn't matter. Just study first and then find someone to recommend you." Dr. Xu looked at Bai Shengming, "If you want to pass the exam as soon as possible, you have to learn a lot of hard work."
Bai Shengming had a determined look on his face, "I'm not afraid of hardship and will definitely try my best."
"You have a clever mind, and you might really become the first scholar in our village in the past few years. I'll think about it for a while, but I can't remember it for a while. I'll go ask around tomorrow and get back to you as soon as possible.
"Doctor Xu said.
Bai Banxia nodded, "Thank you."
"Thank you, I didn't even thank you for helping me." Dr. Xu winked at her, "I have a recipe I haven't figured out yet, let's go to the backyard and talk."
"Okay." Bai Banxia understood and wanted to tell her in detail about selling painkillers to Chu Yuan.
The two went to the backyard, and Doctor Xu took out eighteen taels of silver and handed it to her and said: "I told the boy that this medicine is too little. I gave him three pills, but I wanted to add a little more. Finally, we talked about eighteen taels."
"
Bai Banxia took out five taels of silver and gave it to Dr. Xu, but Doctor Xu refused to accept it. "Oh, the five taels of silver I earned before were all the medicine you gave me for free. If I take it again, I will be greedy. No, no, no."
"Do you know what Chu Yuan said to me today?" Bai Banxia learned what Chu Yuan said to Dr. Xu.
"That brat is so shameless!" Dr. Xu jumped up, "He asked me where I got the medicine and if you gave it to me. I hesitated for a moment, but then the brat saw it and even started to stir up trouble.
Well, by the way, he didn’t really sell it for fifteen taels, right?”
Bai Banxia said with a smile: "He may not necessarily say that the selling price is too high, but the price may be paid by people who are in urgent need of it. Ignore him for now, I will trouble you to worry more about Brother Erlang."
"Okay, leave it to me." Dr. Xu happily agreed.
When he finally left, Bai Banxia still insisted on giving him three taels of silver, saying that he originally planned to sell only five taels a piece, but Dr. Xu helped negotiate a higher price, and it should be his hard-earned money.
While she was talking to Dr. Xu, there was already a noise in the main room.
"Why do you say that the wind is wind and the rain is rain? Even if you study for more than ten years, you may not be able to pass the exam. What chance do you have at your age? You have finally studied with the master for two years to become an accountant. Why are you bothering?
"The old lady said disapprovingly.
The old man's brows were also knitted together. Although he said nothing, his expression showed disapproval.
Baishan looked at his son and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to study?"
Bai Shengming was afraid that they would blame Bai Banxia, let alone what happened to He Yunlan, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "I have liked reading since I was a child, but I dare not mention it. Now my master also supports me in studying, and I also want to be a scholar for my family."
Win glory."
"Then if you fail the exam, Mr. Accountant won't be able to do it either. Wouldn't it mean that you will miss nothing?" The old lady had a look of disapproval, but she was the proudest grandson after all, so she said it tactfully.
Li stood aside and opened her mouth, but she didn't speak.
She actually wanted to support her son, but studying cost money, and it still cost a lot of money, so she couldn't do it.
"I used to have some income as an apprentice, but now I don't have to spend money to go to school?" Baishui walked out of the house and said in a weird voice, "How much money does the family have for you? If you fail the exam, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?
Really? I really don’t know how much I weigh.”
Bai Shengming's face turned red, and Bai Shui's words undoubtedly slapped him in the face.
"Have you been asked to make a confession?" Bai Banxia walked in, "I gave Brother Erlang the idea. Don't talk about him. I'll make a donation if he studies. I also said this today. If anyone in the family is
I also provide the materials for studying."
"You're not afraid of flashing your tongue when you talk big, can you afford it?" Baishui said disdainfully.
Bai Banxia directly gave him a big roll of his eyes and said rudely: "Then I won't worry about it. You'd better say less depressing words. If it affects Brother Erlang's fighting spirit, don't blame me in front of the whole village.
I’ll slap you in the face!”
"You..." Baishui wanted to say, but the old man stopped him, "Okay, stop making noise all the time and talk about business."
The old man is still able to grasp the theme. Baishui's finding faults in this way has no effect at all. It just wastes everyone's time.
The old man had already spoken, and Baishui didn't dare to say more. He just kept squinting at Banxia with his eyes.
"Ban Xia, why did you suddenly suggest that your second brother should take the scholar exam?" the old man asked, frowning.
"I heard some news in the town that the emperor in Beijing has changed. I heard that Enke will be opened in advance and the number of people who can pass will be increased. I think it is an opportunity for Brother Erlang." Of course she made up the rest, otherwise
How to persuade the old man?
She continued to compile: "In addition, when I was treating the father of the county magistrate, I heard him say that no matter how much money we make in business, we will only live a richer life. If the family wants to prosper, the children in the family must study and go to school.
Imperial Examination."
"There is no shortcut to reading. What if Erlang can't do it?" the old man asked.
"I think with Brother Erlang's ability, even if he doesn't work as an accountant now, after studying for a year and a half, he still worries about not being able to find a job as an accountant? Reading can increase one's knowledge, and there is a golden house in the book.
, Even if he doesn’t take the imperial examination, Brother Erlang will only have a higher status if he studies. How can he go downhill? "
She saw that the old man's brows relaxed a little, and she knew that she was on to the point.
"Brother Erlang doesn't continue to be an apprentice. At most, he will give the family a little less money every month. But having an additional scholar in the family has great benefits. Grandpa, you have a face when you go out, don't you?"
The old man loves face very much, and this goes back to his heart.
Just like in modern times, a group of old men get together to play chess. The grandson of one of the old men is admitted to Peking University. He is definitely the envy of everyone. The old man can brag about it for a lifetime.
"Face? It would be more shameful not to pass the exam." The old lady turned away unhappily and returned to the house.
