Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

Da Xi's post stations already offer civilian services.

It can deliver letters to ordinary people and also provides a letter collection service.

Ji Yuan's letter can arrive at the post station first, and Qin Po can retrieve it when she arrives at the post station there.

The post stations were official institutions. Although private services were available, they were rarely used because they were not cheap.

Most people, if they really need to send a message, will usually ask an acquaintance who is going on a long journey, a merchant caravan, or a security escort agency.

For wealthy people, there is actually another way.

This was something Ji Yuan hadn't thought of, but Su Xiaoyong had mentioned it.

When Su Xiaoyong heard that Ji Yuan wanted to send a letter through the post station, she immediately said, "Brother Ji Yuan, why bother with the post station? Just find someone in the manor to send it to Master's wife at full speed."

Since Ji Yuan had already started calling her grandfather "Grandpa," she simply started calling Qin Po "Master's Wife" as well.

"Would it be too much trouble?"

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and asked.

"No, sending messages through the post station is expensive."

Even if the price were halved as a reward, many people in the household would still be willing to make the trip.

Sending messages through the post station is somewhat inconvenient; it would be better if your household sent someone instead.

Su Xiaoyong shook her head and said.

"Xiao Yong, then I'll have to ask you to find someone for me. There's no need to lower the price. Just give the post station whatever amount they need as a reward."

Ji Yuan smiled and handed the letter to Su Xiaoyong.

Su Xiaoyong happily accepted the letter: "Okay."

Actually, if you're stingy, you could send a servant from your own household to deliver the message without paying them.

However, Ji Yuan and the Su family would not go to such lengths. Sending a message on a long journey was not an easy task, after all, it was ancient times and there was a certain degree of danger involved. They would still have to be rewarded with some money.

……

The next day.

Guanfu.

When Ji Yuan arrived, Su Xiaoyong was with him.

She had no other intentions and did not plan to study medicine with Ji Yuan; she was just there to keep Ji Yuan company.

Ji Yuan didn't want her to come, fearing that Guan Menghe would break her defenses.

However, seeing Su Xiaoyong looking at him so pitifully, he changed his mind and agreed without hesitation.

So be it if the defense is breached.

who cares.

As long as I and Xiaoyong are happy, that's all that matters.

The main idea is to only care about one's own happiness and not care about the lives of others.

……

Lobby.

Ji Yuan presented three jars of peach blossom wine.

Grandpa Guan quickly took the wine, opened a jar, and gently waved his hand over the mouth of the jar, releasing a fragrant aroma.

Grandpa Guan closed his eyes and took a sniff.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face: "This fragrance is undoubtedly from a century-old peach blossom wine."

I knew your family had more. Before your grandfather passed away, every time we asked him for more wine, he would say he had finished it all.

Then, when it comes to an important moment, they can take out a jar.

After your grandfather passed away, your father was the same way; if he wanted alcohol, he would drink it all.

I didn't expect you to be so generous, unlike your grandfather and your father.

"Grandpa Guan said with a smile."

I was initially thinking I'd be lucky to get one jar, but I ended up getting three.

Ji Yuan listened to Grandpa Guan's words and smiled without saying a word.

These three jars are just a drop in the ocean compared to the treasures kept in the Ji family's basement.

The Ji family has a truly vast collection of peach blossom wine.

"Bring me my gourd."

Old Master Guan looked at his servant and said.

Soon, a servant brought over a wine gourd that looked rather exquisite.

Grandpa Guan opened the wine gourd and began pouring wine into it.

After filling the gourd, the mouth of the opened jar of wine was immediately sealed, and someone was sent away to store it properly.

Then, Grandpa Guan picked up a few books from the table and handed them to Ji Yuan: "You should read these books first. Once you have memorized them and passed the assessment, I will begin formal teaching."

It's best to read at home. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

"it is good."

Ji Yuan accepted the books given to him by Grandpa Guan.

Grandpa Guan then looked at Su Xiaoyong and said with a smile, "Xiaoyong, come here. Do you want to study medicine together?"

"If you want, I'll teach you too. He gave me three jars of wine, so teaching two of you won't be a loss."

Su Xiaoyong quickly shook her head: "Grandpa Guan, no, I just came to keep Brother Ji Yuan company."

Grandpa Guan paused for a moment, then shook his head with a silent smile.

Guan Hemeng knew that he had a crush on Su Xiaoyong.

After all, he was his own grandfather; how could he not see it?

When he discussed with Su Wencai about having the two children become sworn brothers and sisters, he had the idea of ​​bringing the two children together.

But now it seems there's no hope for his grandson.

That girl already has someone she likes.

They initially became sworn brothers and sisters, but now it seems like they've done something wicked.

Now, they really treat you like an older brother.

Next, Grandpa Guan arranged a quiet study for Ji Yuan so that he could read books in peace.

While Ji Yuan was reading, Su Xiaoyong, having nothing better to do, continued practicing her Thousand Faces and Myriad Forms.

Grandpa Guan instructed the servants not to disturb the two, so there was no need to worry about someone suddenly barging in and discovering that Su Xiaoyong was practicing Thousand Faces.

……

Ji Yuan finished reading several medical books in one morning.

At noon, I found Grandpa Guan and told him that I had memorized all the contents of the book.

Grandpa Guan was somewhat surprised: "You've memorized it all?"

Ji Yuan nodded and replied, "I have a good memory; I can remember things after seeing them only once."

"Photographic memory? I never knew you had such a talent..."

Grandpa Guan exclaimed in surprise.

Having such talent is a great help no matter what you do.

The same applies to studying medicine.

Studying medicine largely requires reading and memorizing a lot.

A renowned doctor must have read an enormous number of medical books and reviewed a vast number of cases.

After reading and memorizing a lot, the next step is to practice a lot.

The Guan family has many clinics and pharmacies in various places. Ji Yuan learned medicine from Old Master Guan, and with Old Master Guan's name behind him, he will definitely not lack opportunities to practice in the future.

That's it, his eldest grandson has absolutely no advantage against this kid.

……

After having lunch together, Grandpa Guan tested Ji Yuan on the contents of several books.

Ji Yuan answered very well.

Grandpa Guan wasn't afraid that Ji Yuan had talent, so in the afternoon he began to teach Ji Yuan the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation.

Su Xiaoyong was very happy to see how amazing Ji Yuan was.

There is a sense of pride that comes from the bottom of my heart.

……

The next few days.

Ji Yuan arrived at the Guan residence early every morning and left again in the evening.

However, I haven't encountered Guan Hemeng yet.

It wasn't that Guan Hemeng wasn't in Jinling at the moment, but rather that almost every morning, Ji Yuan and Su Xiaoyong would arrive at the Guan residence shortly after Guan Hemeng left.

By evening, Ji Yuan and Su Xiaoyong had left, and Guan Hemeng was almost back.

Guan Hemeng leaves early and returns late every day because she goes to her family's clinic in Jinling to see patients.

The Guan family did this so that their medical skills would not be lost and that their descendants would maintain an excellent level of medical expertise.

There's a rule regarding the upbringing of one's descendants: they must frequently visit a medical clinic for consultations.

It wasn't just for their own business, but also to hone their medical skills.
