Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 84 Xu Lin suggested that Nian Duan and his disciples stay
Seven days later.

Nian Duan picked out three medical books and gave them to Xu Lin, all of which she had annotated.

In her opinion, medical books are not about quantity but quality, so printing these three books will be enough.

"it is good."

Xu Lin took the book and glanced through it.

Nian Duan’s handwriting is very beautiful, and his handwriting reflects his personality!

Just when Xu Lin was about to leave Wu and take the money and the three medical books to find Meng Tian, ​​Nian Duan suddenly raised his wrist.

"Mr. Xu."

"I have another favor to ask of you, but I wonder..."

Nian Duan pursed his lips and asked.

"But it doesn't matter!"

Xu Lin nodded.

"I want to print more. How much will it cost?"

Nian Duan asked.

Although she is not greedy for money, she has saved a lot of money over the years.

“How many do you want to print?”

Xu Lin frowned slightly.

"Ten thousand copies?"

"I have over ninety gold coins at home, I wonder..."

Nian Duan told the truth.

"Of course it's not enough."

"But it doesn't matter. I have money."

Xu Lin smiled calmly.

"How can that be possible? How can I ask you, sir, to pay for it?"

"This is my family of doctors..."

Nian Duan refused immediately.

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Lin.

"It's all for the common people of the world."

"If Mr. Nian Duan feels bad about it, he can stay."

"Although my wife and I rarely get sick, it's always best to be safe. Cherry is still young and could easily get sick. If Mr. Nian Duan were here, I wouldn't have to worry!"

Xu Lin explained loudly.

In his opinion, more money and more beautiful women are better, but if he has to choose one, he will choose the latter without hesitation.

Having lived two lives, making money is not too easy for him, but snatching a beauty, especially wanting to win her heart, is not that easy!

When Nian Duan heard this, he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"This matter is of great importance, there is no need to rush."

"Mr. Nian Duan can consider it for a few days."

Xu Lin smiled when he saw this.

Then he asked Li Wu to go to Meng's house with the medical books and money.

……

After a stick of incense.

Li Wu arrived at Meng Mansion.

After learning that it was Xu Lin's woman who wanted to see him, Meng Tian went out to greet her in person.

After a few brief greetings, Li Wu went straight to the point and told Meng Tian that she wanted to print 10,000 copies of the medical book.

"Ten thousand medical books?"

"Easy to say!"

Meng Tian readily agreed.

"General Meng is indeed straightforward!"

"I wonder how much it would cost to print 10,000 copies of a medical book?"

"Are these two boxes of money enough?"

Li Wu took out two boxes of money from the carriage and asked with a smile.

"???"

"Is this what Mr. Xu meant?"

"It's just 10,000 medical books. It's a simple matter. Mr. Xu doesn't need to pay for it!"

Meng Tian said seriously.

If it weren't for Xu Lin, who knows when movable type printing would have been invented, so how could I ask Xu Lin for money for printing the book?

"no!"

Li Wu said coldly.

"Why?"

Meng Tian looked puzzled.

"Mr. said that even brothers have to settle accounts, let alone colleagues?"

"The master also said that the trouble with things in the world is that you are in me and I am in you. You owe me a favor and I owe you a favor."

Li Wu explained in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Meng Tian lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a long time, he nodded to show his agreement with Xu Lin, and then accepted the two boxes of money.

He used to hate others protecting each other, but he didn't expect that he would instinctively protect each other when doing things himself.

If Xu Lin hadn't reminded him, he would have made a mistake!
Thinking of this, Meng Tian remembered what his grandfather Meng Ao once said, that the Meng family cannot get involved with any force, and the Meng family is only loyal to the Qin Dynasty!
"Mr. Xu is absolutely right!"

"Listening to a lecture from the teacher is worth ten years of reading!"

Meng Tian said seriously.

Then he sent Li Wu out of the house. After Li Wu left, Ying Zheng, dressed in white casual clothes, walked towards Meng Tian with a smile on his face.

He and Li Wu arrived at the same time.

When Li Wu entered the mansion, he had just arrived outside the gate.

Since he didn't let the guards report it, Meng Tian and Li Wu didn't know he was outside just now.

"Are these two boxes of money enough to print ten thousand books?"

Ying Zheng asked.

"almost."

Meng Tian nodded.

“The trouble with things in this world is that you are in me and I am in you.”

"Mr.'s words are truly pearls of wisdom!"

Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and sighed.

It’s a pity that Xu Lin has no interest in being an official, otherwise he would definitely promote Xu Lin to be the national teacher or prime minister!
“Confucius once said, ‘If one’s conduct is upright, people will act accordingly without being told; if one’s conduct is not upright, people will not act accordingly despite being told.”

"If you can't even act according to the law, how can you manage officials who don't?"

Ying Zheng said seriously.

"I will remember your Majesty's teachings!"

"I promise that what happened today will never happen again!"

Meng Tian promised.

Ying Zheng nodded.

He had never read any Confucian books before. If Xu Lin had not suggested it some time ago, he would not have read the Confucian classics at all.

After reading it, he found that the books of Confucius, Xunzi and others were indeed good.

After a few breaths, Ying Zheng looked at the medical book annotated by Nian Duan.

Nian Duan has been practicing medicine for many years and knows which prescriptions are effective and which are not. Not only that, she also explains many obscure contents in medical books in easy-to-understand words.

"Who wrote these notes?"

After reading it, Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"It should be written by Mr. Nian Duan, the Medical Immortal of Jinghu Lake."

Meng Tian answered.

"Some time ago, Mr. Xu's wife was about to give birth, so she invited Mr. Nian Duan to the mansion."

"Therefore, I believe that the annotations above should have been written by Mr. Nian Duan."

Meng Tian added.

Ying Zheng nodded and put down the medical book.

After leaving Meng's mansion, Ying Zheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked towards the direction of Jinghu Lake in Chu State.

"Zhao Gao."

"How much do you know about Mirror Lake Medical Immortal Nian Duan?"

Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"Return to the king."

"As far as I know, Mister Nian Duan is a highly skilled doctor. Looking around the world, I'm afraid there are few who are better than her."

"But it is said that she is a solitary person and rarely goes down the mountain to see patients."

Zhao Gao answered respectfully.

"How old is she?"

"Is there a marriage?"

Ying Zheng asked.

"Mr. Nian Duan became famous more than ten years ago, so she should be around thirty years old now."

"As for whether they are getting married, I don't think so."

Zhao Gao was stunned when he heard this, and then said.

"What does she look like?"

Ying Zheng asked again.

"It should be not bad."

"More than ten years ago, many nobles from the Chu State went to Jinghu to ask for her hand in marriage, but she rejected them all in the end."

Zhao Gao speculated.

"That's right!"

Ying Zheng was very pleased.

Then he turned his attention to the Xu Mansion.

He knew Xu Lin too well. If Nian Duan was not very good-looking or was over fifty years old, would Xu Lin go to Jinghu to invite Nian Duan instead of going to nearby places?

The imperial doctors in the palace might not be as skilled as Nian Duan, but they were all the best doctors in Qin State and not much worse than Nian Duan, such as Xia Wuqie.

Obviously, Xu Lin was not only impressed by Nian Duan's medical skills, but also by Nian Duan himself!

Although Xu Lin likes beautiful women, he is not obsessed with women. He still works when he needs to, such as inventing papermaking and printing.

Therefore, Ying Zheng did not mind that there were so many beautiful women in Xu Lin's mansion.

……

Ten days later.

After lunch, Nian Duan and Duan Mu Rong did not study medical books as usual, but chose to stroll around Xianyang City.

To prevent the little girl Duanmurong from getting lost, Nianduan asked her to hold onto his sleeve.

"Rong'er."

"Do you want to stay in Xianyang?"

A quarter of an hour later, Nian Duan stopped, leaned over to look at the little loli Duan Murong, and asked seriously.

Although Duanmu Rong is still a child, she will treat Duanmu Rong as an adult and ask Duanmu Rong for her opinion.
