After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Fang Nanzhi scratched her head. She really wanted to agree.

Whether it was her second uncle's matter or her brother's leg, she felt that studying medicine was very useful. Although she and her brother both had systems, her father also said that we cannot rely on others for everything.

Only when she learns it will it belong to her.

"I really enjoy identifying herbs, but I need to discuss this with my husband first."

The little girl looked a little embarrassed. "Master, you accepted me as your disciple because you definitely want me to concentrate on my studies. If I study medicine..."

"It's said 'once a teacher, always a father'. If the teacher says no..."

Mr. Zhou also thought of this and nodded slightly, feeling a rare bit of nervousness in his heart.

So, he is tantamount to snatching someone's beloved disciple. Mr. Zheng is also a scholar, this...

Seeing that this matter was unlikely to have a conclusion today, Fang Tong quickly cleared his throat.

"That's fine. Since that's the case, Zhizhi will be going to the academy tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to bring this up. Mr. Zhou, please try these sugar-roasted chestnuts, fresh from the pan!"

Mr. Zhou also knew that he couldn't be impatient. He had only tasted the cake given when the family moved to a new house last time. He rarely tasted such sweet food. Many of them were almost too sweet. However, this cake was quite to his liking.

"Grandpa Zhou, my cakes are delicious!"

When it comes to her favorite things, the little girl talks endlessly. Mr. Zhou doesn't dislike her. Instead, he thinks that children should be lively like this.

His grandson was also talkative when he was young, but he was not as likable as the little girl. Instead, he always made his father angry and walked around the yard.

He also noticed that this family was lively and friendly, everyone was nice, they all loved this girl, they had good relationships, and they lived a prosperous life, able to send both children to study in academy.

What a united family.

The most important thing is the temperament of these two children. Alas, how did they raise them? Even he was a little envious.

Old Zhou chatted with them for a while, and when he was leaving, he was stuffed with cakes and sugar-roasted chestnuts, saying that he should take them back to eat and also bring some for Master Shi and Young Master Zhou.

The next day, when Fang Tong sent the two children to the academy, he followed them in. Qin Yan went to the classroom by himself, and he followed his daughter to meet Mr. Zheng and explain the whole story.

"Oh? Doctor Zhou?"

He also knew about Mr. Zhou's reputation. After all, his status and official position were not ordinary. It was said that he also had a residence in the county town. For a while, people on the streets and alleys were talking about it. Even the teacher in their academy had talked about seeking medical treatment for his family.

If it were an ordinary doctor, he would really have to consider the student, but this one was different. In the county, such a person might not be found for many years.

He was quite happy for the students.

Once he accepted a student, he had to make plans for her. Although he had been teaching her to read, he was also worried in his heart, not knowing what the future of this child would be.

When asked, she herself said that she wanted to be a shopkeeper in the future.

But he felt it was a pity, such a pity. If she was just a female shopkeeper, why would she need to read so many books?

Even if one is well-read and intelligent, he cannot pass the imperial examination.

It's impossible that such a great talent can only be used to plan a marriage, right?

But it’s different if you study medicine, at least it’s a skill that can help you make a living!

"Okay, teacher agrees," he nodded. "From now on, your studies will be arranged like this. One day at the academy, one day to study medicine. But let's make it clear. I've heard that studying medicine is very difficult, but you can't let it delay your studies the next day."

Fang Tong didn't expect that Mr. Zheng would be so magnanimous, and thanked him in surprise. Fang Nanzhi also hurried to thank the gentleman.

On the way back, he bought a lot of things for his apprenticeship, and he became more familiar with them after the first visit.

In the evening, Fang Tong took his son and daughter home, and took the little girl to Zhou's house to become his disciple.

"Mr. Zhou, are we here too suddenly? If today is not convenient, we can do it another day..."

"No inconvenience, just today!"

When Mr. Zhou heard that Mr. Zheng agreed, he knew that since they came to become his disciples, there was no reason to let them go. The longer the night, the more trouble he would have. He didn't want to cause any more trouble.

The process of becoming a disciple is almost the same.

Fang Nanzhi felt that practice made perfect, paying respects to the master, the teacher, kowtow and offer tea...

The difference was that Mr. Zhou gave her a piece of paper and told her that medical practitioners should keep it in mind and asked her to remember it and do it.

"Practice medicine to save the world, and doctors should not play with illnesses..."

After everything was over, Zhou Zijing, who was watching from outside, whispered to Shi Junyan.

"I haven't seen Grandpa this happy in years. Do you think he really wants me to study medicine?"

Shi Junyan glanced at him and said, "Master Zhou is naturally very happy to have a successor, but as for whether you study medicine or not... he shouldn't be too disappointed."

Zhou Zijing blinked, feeling that what he said didn't sound right.

"No, what do you mean..."

He was about to jump up when he suddenly heard his grandfather calling them.

"Zi Jing, Jun Yan, let's go to the Qin family for dinner tonight."

This was just an invitation from Fang Tong. No matter what, he is Zhizhi's master, so it is necessary to have a meal with him.

If Mr. Zheng had not been in the county town and had not been busy at the academy, he would have been treated to a meal.

Mr. Zhou naturally would not refuse the kindness of his disciple's family. He actually wanted to invite the whole family to his house for a meal, but Fang Tong disagreed, saying that it was uncommon for a master to invite his disciple first.

"Well, if Mr. Zhou doesn't mind, I have some people at home. I'll ask the village chief to cook a few more dishes, and we can have a lively meal together. It's a big deal!"

Fang Tong had to ask this question because it was related to whether Mr. Zhou wanted people to know what he did.

Mr. Zhou was smiling, he didn't hate the hustle and bustle.

"Okay, becoming a disciple is a big deal."

Fang Tong then took his daughter home first. The meal needed to be prepared, so Mr. Zhou and the others could arrive an hour later.

The father and daughter hurried home and told them about the dinner party.

"No wonder I saw you bringing back meat and vegetables from the county town!"

Qian Fengping was also very happy, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Turning around, she called Liu Cui and the others, asking them to say hello to their families and ask them to help her in the evening if they were willing, so that they could have a meal together.

None of the people working on it said no.

It was a rare opportunity to entertain guests, especially the former imperial physician, so Qian Fengping used her best cooking skills and made a total of twenty dishes!

Fang Tong also asked the village chief for help. After returning, he called Erwa and others to help move the round table top from the Qin family and wipe it clean.

“How many people are there tonight?”

"Thirteen?"

"Well, you can sit down now!"

Everyone was chopping wood, and some were making fire. Except for the two children, no one was idle.

When Mr. Zhou arrived, the atmosphere was at its most lively.
