But crying is not good for the one in your belly, so wipe away your tears quickly.

The third brother seemed to see Yan Zi crying in a daze and thought he was dreaming. He was too tired and fell asleep again.

Nier felt that she had a very refreshed sleep. Her aunt should not be a big threat anymore. Even if she came again, her father would be ruthless as long as he mentioned her mother.

Usually Yan Zi cooks in the morning, but after she fell yesterday, the third brother thought about getting up and making breakfast himself so that his wife could rest a little longer.

As soon as I woke up, I saw Yan Zi had already put on her clothes and was ready to go downstairs.

"Mother, I'll go."

Yan Zi held down Lao San and said, "I'm fine. You did so much work yesterday. Get some more sleep. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

The third brother did not listen to Yan Zi and put on his clothes and went to the garden. The two of them went to the kitchen together to make breakfast.

After breakfast, Ni'er went straight to Doctor Zhao's house. When she entered the door, she saw a note and a square plate covered with a red cloth on the table.

Ni'er was a little curious, but she couldn't touch those things on her own since her master was not around.

After a while, I saw the master come in with some grass clippings on his clothes. It turned out that he was sorting the herbs.

Doctor Zhao glanced at the things on the table and said, "Those were sent by Miss Lin yesterday afternoon. Take a look for yourself."

Ni'er was a little confused and added water to her master's basin. "What Miss Lin?"

Doctor Zhao rolled up his sleeves, put his hands in the basin, turned his head and looked at Ni'er, "You forgot so quickly, tofu~"

Nier suddenly realized that it was the family who took the carriage to see the doctor that day.

I picked up the post on the table and opened it to take a look. It turned out to be a thank you to my master. I was even mentioned in it. It seems that the tofu facial mask is indeed effective.

When I lifted the red cloth, I was dazzled by a plate of silver ingots. There were twenty-one of them, each worth two taels of silver. They were neatly placed on a wooden tray, and the silver and red looked very beautiful against each other.

"Master, you...you'll accept it?"

Seeing that Ni'er didn't hand him a hand towel, Zhao Jincheng went to get it himself, "Well, is there any problem?"

"No problem~" Nier looked at the silver ingot and swallowed.

Normally, Master would never refuse things sent by patients, but those were just some daily food or meat. Master could accept so much money with peace of mind. It seemed that he had to continue practicing.

Zhao Jincheng saw through Ni'er's thoughts and asked, "Do you think I shouldn't accept it?"

Since the master asked so, Ni'er nodded. If it were her, she would probably refuse.

Zhao Jincheng wandered around the bookshelf, trying to find a medical book suitable for Ni'er to read, and took one down to read.

"I have already charged for my medical treatment, so it is not right to charge anything else. But this is also a sign of recognition of my medical skills. The patient is healthy and happy, and is willing to share this joy with me. I have no reason to refuse."

I felt that the book in my hand was a bit too profound, so I put it back and picked up another one.

"The things they can give me are naturally within their means. They won't sell their house or land to buy me things just because they are well, so there is nothing I can't accept."

Nier felt that people were indeed different and everyone had their own ideas. She had been taught since childhood not to accept things from others, but except Aunt Niu Dan, no one else had ever given Nier anything.

It seems that this kind of behavior is not a big deal, and accepting it is a kind of respect for others.

Zhao Jincheng finally found a satisfactory book, closed it and walked to the table, "By the way, you were mentioned specifically in that post. Tofu does have a good effect."

He stretched out his hand holding the book towards the silver and looked at Ni'er, "I'll give you one third of the silver. You know how much one third is, right?"

Ni'er was about to refuse, but when she thought about what her master had just said, she thought why not? It was a blessing to share in other people's joy.

"Master, you can't defeat me with this test. There are seven in a row, and there are three rows in total. I can just take one row, which is fourteen taels of silver."

Zhao Jincheng smiled and sat on the chair. Ni'er quickly poured a cup of tea and placed it next to her master.

"I've never taught you this. Where did you learn it from? Or are you just gifted?"

Ni'er didn't dare to look directly at her master, and looked to the lower left. "This is not difficult to understand, it's just one third, isn't it just divided into three equal parts, hehe~"

Seeing that the master didn't say anything else, he took away a row of silver ingots and said, "Give me this red cloth as well."

Zhao Jincheng nodded.

Nier wrapped the silver carefully in red cloth and weighed it in her hand. It felt very heavy.

Zhao Jincheng thought of something, "It's not safe for you to carry so much money. Do you want me to take you back at noon?"

Nier waved her hand. "I'm dressed like this and I'm just a child. Who would have thought I had money?"

After hearing this, Zhao Jincheng looked at Ni'er's clothes. They were old clothes that didn't fit her well and had a lot of patches on them. He usually didn't pay much attention to these things, and even Ni'er ignored them.

I thought that next time I go to town, I can make two sets of clothes for Ni'er. As Zhao Jincheng's apprentice, I can't lose face.

As usual, he handed the book to Ni'er and said, "This book is perfect for you to read now. You can spend the whole morning reading it. You can finish what you have read and then take the exam."

Nier looked up and said, "I have read the book and can take the test now."

Seeing a flash of surprise in the master's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, Zhao Jincheng casually asked two questions from the book, and Ni'er answered them fluently.

When Zhao Jincheng was a student, he usually studied in a careless manner, but because he was smart, he didn't waste too much time.

Ni'er not only understands what it means to be a student, but is also very diligent, which puts Zhao Jincheng under a lot of pressure.

It's not bad to have a student like this, who can urge the master to make progress. It seems that he has the potential to be a famous doctor. Maybe in the future he can make a living by relying on the name of Master Ni'er.

They are much happier than those who are afraid of shame and don't let their disciples reveal their master's name.

Doctor Zhao sighed and could only comfort himself in this way.

"Okay, go collect those dried herbs."

Nier didn't move, "I've finished collecting it."

Zhao Jincheng stroked his forehead and said, "Go make some Wanjindan. Go to the town tomorrow and give it to..."

Nier interrupted her master and said, "I know this is very rude, but I have already made it. I put it in the lower left corner of the medicine cabinet. I will take it to Grandpa Yang tomorrow when I go to town to check his pulse."

Zhao Jincheng nodded and pointed to a row of books on the bookshelf behind him. "You can read whatever you want. When you are done, bring the books to me."
