"Masaka, you..."

Just as Lan Feng was about to speak, Jin Wen gestured to him, and he immediately realized what she meant and changed his words.

"Boss, why are you here?"

Qin Suiyou said, "I've been staying in the manor for too long, so I came out for a walk. You all continue with your work; there are quite a few people down here. I'll keep an eye on things here."

Lan Feng and Jin Wen nodded slightly, and then went downstairs together.

After the two men left, Qin Suiyou placed the book he was holding back in front of the tall, strong man.

"Thank you, but I'm very sorry that what happened just now was all because of me."

After hearing the man thank him and then apologize, Qin Suiyou said, "Thank you, I accept it. There's no need for an apology. It was that person who was being unreasonable."

The man rubbed the surface with both hands a few times; even with several layers of calluses and dead skin, the roughness was still palpable.

"But I am just a farmer."

"Do you think farming is a lowly thing?"

"of course not!"

The man shook his head instinctively.

Seeing this, Qin Suiyou asked, "Why?"

The man paused for a moment, then shook his head.

“I hadn’t thought about that, but farming is the foundation for my family’s livelihood, so it’s definitely not something lowly or inferior.”

After saying that, the man pursed his lips, seemingly understanding something, but his mind was still quite confused.

"For you, farming is essential for survival, and so are those high-ranking officials and nobles. If there were no farmers like you, they would have large warehouses full of treasures but no crops to eat, and it would all be for nothing sooner or later."

After saying this, Qin Suiyou let the man think for himself and looked around.

"Didn't Young Master Gu come today?"

Jinwen and Lanfeng, the two in charge, went downstairs. Now, apart from a few ordinary employees, the only person upstairs is Changxing, who has been working for Lanfeng for several days.

As soon as Qin Suiyou asked the question, Chang Xing immediately walked over respectfully and said, "Young Master Gu was staying with us in the back yesterday. This morning he said that his dean was taking the students to the suburbs for some kind of study tour, so he would be a little late, but he should be here soon."

After Qin Suiyou nodded in acknowledgment, Chang Xing returned to his seat at the front desk on the second floor. He was responsible for registering and collecting fees from anyone who came to the reading room.

"Xu Chi, go check the bookshelf for anything else that's important in the early stages. I only selected some basic ones before, but now a customer is asking if there are any others. I'd like to expand the scope."

"it is good."

"I'll go take a look too."

Seeing Xu Chi walk between several bookshelves, Ke Zuotou, who was also quite intrigued by the sight, followed him.

Qin Suiyou and Lu Xi remained seated. The man who had been intently reading a book turned to Qin Suiyou, seemingly lost in thought, and tentatively asked, "Master, may I ask who the author of this book is?"

Setting down his teacup, Qin Suiyou asked, "Why do you ask that?"

The man smiled shyly and said, "I have read this book many times, memorized it bit by bit, and tried all the methods in it. The results were very good. Although I am just an ordinary farmer, I have a good understanding of the planting methods in various parts of Beiqian. However, there are some things in this book that I have never heard of before, so I am very curious about what kind of person wrote this book."

Qin Suiyou did not give a direct answer.

“You know better than we do that farming is a long-term endeavor that takes time. It takes the combined efforts of several generations to write a book that contains the most comprehensive experience and methods.”

"Therefore, it cannot be said that one person wrote this book; it is the result of the collective efforts of many people."

The man nodded slowly, something seemed to be quietly changing in his heart.

"Master Qin."

After sitting for a while, Gu Huaiyuan and Xia Yuanzhou came up, but they both looked somewhat anxious.

The two men still maintained proper etiquette and bowed to Qin Suiyou before revealing the reason for their anxiety.

"Young Master Qin, we have a favor to ask of you, may we...?"

Qin Suiyou looked up without hesitation.

"Let's go there."

Once they arrived at the lounge, Gu Huaiyuan spoke first: "Please forgive my intrusion, but I learned by chance that Young Master Qin is skilled in medicine. Today, our academy's dean suddenly fainted, and several doctors have been consulted but none have been able to help. I humbly request Young Master Qin's assistance, and I will repay you with my life."

Xia Yuanzhou also said, "Me too, I will definitely find a way to repay you."

Qin Suiyou raised his hand to signal the two not to rush, and then stood up.

Just as they reached the door, seeing the two standing there in a daze, Qin Suiyou first called out to Lu Xi, Ke Zuo, and the others, then said to them, "Aren't you going to come? It's a matter of life and death. We can talk as we go."

Originally, they thought Qin Suiyou wouldn't make a move so easily, and the two were pondering how to ask for help when they saw Qin Suiyou so readily preparing to set off. After exchanging a glance and regaining their senses, the two immediately started walking.

The Zhiyuan Academy, where Gu Huaiyuan and Xia Yuanzhou were located, was not far from the Southwest Bookstore. After the two finished recounting the incident of their dean fainting that day, the group arrived at the academy.

Zhiyuan Academy was not large, with only an older uncle guarding the gate. He was very familiar with Gu Huaiyuan and Xia Yuanzhou, and quickly opened the gate for them.

"It's right inside."

Upon hearing Gu Huaiyuan's voice, two people came out of the house.

"Huaiyuan, have you found a doctor?"

After nodding to the two people in front of him as a greeting, Gu Huaiyuan said, "Found him, this is the one. Let's go in first."

Following Gu Huaiyuan's gesture, the two looked at Qin Suiyou, their expressions showing obvious distrust. However, considering that Gu Huaiyuan was not the type to act recklessly, and given the Dean's current situation, they could only hope that having more people come to see him would increase the chances of success.

Upon entering Dean Zhou's bedroom, several anxious teenagers were sitting inside. They appeared to be students of the academy, but unlike students from other large academies, they did not wear uniform attire.

Dean Zhou is currently lying on the couch, with a middle-aged woman sitting beside him; she is Dean Zhou's wife, Liu.

Mrs. Liu looked at Dean Zhou with concern, not yet noticing that someone had come in.

"Madam, please allow me to examine Dean Zhou first."

Hearing Qin Suiyou's voice suddenly, Liu was a little startled. She looked up and saw an unfamiliar but extremely beautiful face. She looked around in confusion.

Seeing this, Gu Huaiyuan stepped forward and said, "Teacher's wife, I invited Young Master Qin to treat my teacher. Please let him take a look at my teacher first."

"well."

Upon hearing that it was a doctor, Liu did not harbor any doubts like the other young people had just spoken; she was only focused on finding someone to treat her husband as soon as possible.
