Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 67 Dude, you have to look like a dude

Wang Pingan groaned, shook his head and said, "Brother Zhao, don't be joking. How can you take a test of fortune-telling for such an important scientific examination? Could it be that important national affairs can be resolved through fortune-telling? Aren't there a group of people in the court pinching their fingers!"

Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi laughed together, Zhao Bi laughed and said, "If all the adults above the court pinch their fingers, that would be really fun!"

Lu Xiuzhi laughed a few times, and then said: "It seems that Wang Xiandi really only knows one subject of medicine, and doesn't care about other subjects. In fact, there are many more people who study divination than medicine, it depends on luck! And this Luck, it depends on how much money you are willing to spend, it is not a test of me, but a test of my father!"

Only then did Wang Pingan understand, nodded and said: "Brother Lu, you will understand when you say that. According to what you said, it is easier to test the basic science. Anyway, if there is a question, everyone will make it up. Whoever makes it up is reliable, who You can pass the exam, no wonder there are so many people taking the exam!"

Zhao Bi said, "That's not necessarily the case. If you want to make a reliable compilation, it's best to guess the questions in advance, but if you want to guess the questions, you have to spend money. Everyone has more money than anyone else, so they enter the examination room. The one who answered the question was Master Lu, but the one who answered the question was Master Lu!"

Lu Xiuzhi didn't show any embarrassment, but nodded and said: "That's right, that's right!"

Wang Ping'an thought: "In this way, Bu Ke is about guessing the unknown, but to successfully guess the unknown depends on money. Money is really a good thing!" , The kind with a strong family background.

He asked: "Brother Lu, what do you do in your family? Guessing the test questions is such an important matter that you have to have connections in Chang'an. Money alone is useless, and the money must be given away!"

Lu Xiuzhi showed a look of satisfaction on his face, and said: "Brother Yu is a son of a good family, and he regards running the farm as his main business, but my father also does some small businesses to supplement the family!"

"Humility, you see how modest you are!" Zhao Bi joked, and said to Wang Ping'an: "The court's rules, all those who take part in the scientific examination must be from a good family. With this rule, of course everyone respect You have to plant land, but if you want to make a fortune, you can't do it by farming alone, you have to do some business, Brother Lu's business is not ordinary!" After a pause, he waited for Wang Ping'an to pay attention, and then said: "It's an iron dealer. !"

Ah, this family surnamed Lu is actually doing iron and steel business, which is incredible!Special commodities such as salt and iron have always been monopolized by the state in feudal society. If a businessman can do these two kinds of business, his background is not generally tough, but very tough!
Wang Ping'an said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it turns out that brother Lu's family is so rich, so why do you bother with scientific research? Wouldn't it be better to rely on the shade of your ancestors?"

Lu Xiuzhi sighed, and said: "Of course it's good to rely on my ancestors to hide, but the problem is that my family's ancestors can't hide me! My father is rich enough, but when it comes to being expensive, it depends on my generation!"

It wasn't something worth hiding, and Lu Xiuzhi also wanted to show off, so he casually talked about his own affairs.His family made a lot of money selling pig iron for the imperial court, but at best they were helping the government. There are many such businessmen, and their status may not be very high. Don't get up, if you want to use the official, you can use it, and if you don't want to use it, you can change it!

The Lu family does business for the government, and of course the government takes the bulk of the money they earn. In terms of nature, the Lu family is a rake for money, and the government is the box that manages money!And rakes for raising money are actually very dangerous, regardless of the scenery. If the government does not change people, let it be. This kind of thing happened in all dynasties, no surprise!
There are two things the Lu family can do. One is to curry favor with a certain big shot in the court, so that you can enjoy the shade under the big tree, but this is not the safest.The safest thing is that one's own family must enter the officialdom and become one of the court's own people, that's the best!That's why Lu Xiuzhi has to take the scientific examination. It doesn't matter what subject you take, the important thing is that as long as you pass the examination, Father Lu's money can transfer Lu Xiuzhi to the yamen he "should" go to!
After hearing this, Wang Pingan sighed, and said, "I really don't know much about these things. If I hadn't listened to you, I wouldn't know at all. By the way, Brother Zhao, your family is in the business of medicinal materials. Which pharmacy is it?"

Zhao Bi said with a smile: "Small business, just earn some pocket money. My family only has a warehouse and does not open a pharmacy. I collect the medicinal materials and resell them to the pharmacy. Not only in Xuzhou, but also in Chang'an!" There is still a little bit of humility, and the next sentence is boasting!

Wang Ping'an snorted, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao can be considered a family, and his medical skills must be excellent!"

Zhao Bi shook his head and said, "My father has forced me to study medicine since I was a child, but the more he forced me, the less I like to study. My father has nothing to do with me, and he doesn't care about me anymore!"

While talking, Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu walked over. They saw Cheng Zhoutong leave, and the other book boys ran into the study hall, so they came in too!Ke Lianwu said: "Young master, I think they are copying books, do you want your slaves to copy for you?"

Before Wang Ping'an could speak, Lu Xiuzhi said, "What are you copying? What's there to copy? We don't take the Jinshi exam. What's the point of copying books? Why don't you waste your time here? Just drink and play!"

Zhao Bi also said: "Isn't it? My father asked me to copy the books and I didn't copy them. What's the old man Cheng? If he asked us to copy the books, he ran away by himself. Don't pay attention to him." He stood up, pulled Wang Ping'an and said : "Brother Wang Xian, we hit it off right away. Being able to be classmates is a fate, and we need to celebrate it. Let's go to the restaurant to have fun!"

Wang Pingan shook his head and said, "It's not right, it's my first day here..."

"Never mind him, carpe diem is what we should do, what is the purpose of earning so much money, isn't it just to spend!" Lu Xiuzhi also came to pull Wang Ping'an, and forced him to get up from his seat!
Wang Pingan glanced at the students next to him. Except for a few who listened to the teacher's words and wrote silently there, the rest of the students ran away for a little while, and there were some bookboys on the seats, copying books for them!

Wang Pingan glanced at the two little girls and said, "On the first day of class, I pissed off my husband, didn't do my homework, skipped class, and drank alcohol. This is not good, what do you think?" At this time, the two little girls spoke a few important words, and he followed suit, and rejected Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi.

Unexpectedly, the eyes of these two little girls were shining brightly, as if what Wang Ping'an is doing now is very great, very unique, and needs strong support, they all nodded in unison and said: "We will definitely not tell the master and madam, no Let them worry!"

When Wang Pingan heard this, he laughed loudly, and said to Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi, "Since we've already talked about this, if I keep talking about it, I won't be enough of a man! Well, don't say anything, Besides, tears are rushing down. Let's go, let's go drink!"

"That's right, this is a good buddy! Today we brothers are treating guests, Brother Wang Xian, don't save us money, let's pick the most expensive ones, and after we finish eating, let's get drunk and smash the restaurant for him!" Zhao Bi shouted.

Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu were so excited that their eyes lit up, they clapped their hands and said, "Let's set the fire again..."

Wang Pingan glared at the two of them, you two little girls, what are you talking about!
The five walked out of the school in a big way, met other students on the way, and asked them why they were there.Lu Xiuzhi shouted: "Smash the restaurant and set it on fire!"

They left the academy and walked to the street, chatting as they walked.

When Wang Ping'an said that he cured Qiu Wenpu's wind and cold, Zhao Bi said in surprise: "I thought it was cured by Cheng Shen, but it turned out that it was you, Brother Wang Xian, who cured you. Your medical skills are good. We will have more How close you are, if you want to open a medicine hall, you can just find me, and I will give you all the medicinal materials according to the purchase price!"

Ding Danruo spoke quickly and told about how Wang Pingan healed the poor. Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi nodded and praised Wang Pingan for his kindness. Yes, when the time comes to pay off, it can't be measured by a few medicine money.

Stop and go, there is a three-storey restaurant in front, which is not small in scale.They were far away, and the waiter at the restaurant saw them and shouted: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Lu, I haven't seen you for a while!"
