Widow Liu was raising her hand and saying something with saliva flying everywhere.

That's quite a lot of spirit.

Only when she got closer did Shen Rong hear what Widow Liu said.

"If you ask me, the kid from the Gu family was just lucky to pass the exam and become a scholar, but that Liu has been looking down on him all day long.

The Gu family kid only ranked last in the exam, not first. I don’t know what the Liu family has to brag about! "

"What? Gu Xiucai is the last one?" Wang beside her asked immediately.

The person who announced the good news only said that Gu Zhaoming ranked 160th and did not mention that he was the last. Therefore, the villagers were not aware that Gu Zhaoming was ranked last.

"How could this be false? My son went to the county town the other day and saw it. The three characters "Gu Zhaoming" were at the very end of the list."

Widow Liu's son also went to school for two years in his early years, but unfortunately he had no talent and only recognized a few words. When he grew up, he went out to become an apprentice.

"After studying for so many years, he ranked last in the exam. It will probably be difficult for the Gu family kid to make further progress in the future."

Sitting not far away, an old man with a white beard tapped the pipe in his hand and said regretfully.

Widow Liu gloated and said, "Isn't it true? She's the last one. Look at how rampant Liu is."

She and Liu were both widows. Liu's son studied hard and passed the imperial examination.

Her son also received some education, but unfortunately he had no talent and had to work as an apprentice at an early age.

Seeing the gap between the two growing bigger and bigger, Widow Liu felt unwilling to accept it, and naturally couldn't bear to see Liu do well.

Shen Rong and Sixth Grandpa walked past the tree and were a little surprised when they heard what Widow Liu said.

In his previous life, Gu Zhaoming ranked second, but unexpectedly this time, he only ranked last.

The gap between these two lives is too big!

Shen Rong thought about it for a moment and figured out the reason.

I guess it was because of what Gu Zhaoming said in the yamen last time that left a bad impression on the county magistrate!

Otherwise, with his talent, it would be impossible for him to get the last place. This ranking must have been a big blow to Gu Zhaoming!

The two came to Xiao Zhuzi's home. Xiao Zhuzi's grandmother was bedridden and didn't know that her grandson had hired a sixth grandfather for her.

When Shen Rong followed Sixth Grandpa into the room, she saw a skinny old man lying on the bed. The old man had white hair and a bad complexion, without any blood in his body.

"Sister Wang, why have you been sick for so long without letting Xiao Zhuzi know? Xiao Zhuzi is still young, you must take care of yourself!"

Grandma Zhuzi woke up when the two men entered the door.

She looked at the small pillar standing at the door reluctantly, "Alas! I am old, and I am finally a burden to this child."

The Sixth Grandpa paused as he took out the pulse pillow and said seriously, "Nonsense, Xiao Zhu is still young, how can he survive without you watching over him?"

There was a complicated look in Xiao Zhuzi's grandmother's eyes when she looked at him. If you looked closely, you could see that her deep reluctance was mixed with worry about Xiao Zhuzi's future.

Shen Lianchuan thought of Changsheng, and felt a sense of sympathy.

While the two were talking, Shen Rong moved a stool and placed it behind her grandfather.

He sat down and put his hand on her wrist for a long moment before letting go.

"You are fine. Take two doses of medicine and avoid overwork. You will be fine after some rest."

When Sixth Grandpa said this, Grandma Zhuzi felt relieved, but when she thought about the money for medical treatment and medicine, she couldn't help showing a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face, "Doctor Shen, since there is nothing wrong, it is better not to prescribe medicine..."

Sixth Grandpa frowned and said, "Remember it if you don't have money! Your health can't be delayed any longer."

"Thank you, Sixth Grandpa..." Xiao Zhuzi hurriedly expressed his gratitude upon seeing this.

Seeing this, Zhuzi's grandmother sighed, but ultimately said nothing.

After Sixth Grandpa came out of Xiao Zhuzi's house, he kept shaking his head and sighing.

"Xiao Zhuzi's grandmother's illness has been delayed for too long, and her physical foundation has been worn out. Although the herbs in our family can cure her cold, her body needs to be properly treated with more expensive medicines to recover a little. Otherwise..."

Although Sixth Grandpa didn't say the rest of the words, Shen Rong understood his implication.

She looked back at the shabby thatched hut behind her and felt a little sad.

"Grandpa, let me deliver the medicine later!"

The two left Xiao Zhuzi's house, and a small figure appeared behind the door of the thatched hut.

Tiezhu stood at the door, looking at the figure getting farther and farther away, his eyes feeling a little sore.

He clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind that he would earn money, a lot of money, to buy expensive medicine for his grandmother!

When Sixth Grandpa prescribed medicine for Xiao Zhuzi's grandmother, he patiently explained to Shen Rong the combination of the main, auxiliary, and adjuvant ingredients in the prescription, as well as the corresponding effects of each medicine.

The medicine prescribed by Sixth Grandpa was ordinary medicine for colds. Shen Rong did not foolishly ask Grandpa why he did not prescribe more expensive medicine for Grandma Zhuzi.

Shen Rong took the medicine and went into Xiao Zhuzi's house again. After she finished explaining the method of boiling the medicine and just came out of the house, she heard Liu's voice next door.

"You bastard! Why did you put wood ash into the pot? You can't eat it. Are you stupid because of hunger? Is my family in need of food and water from you?"

Then, Shen Yuan's impatient voice came out, "Mom, I have something to do, don't disturb me."

Shen Rong realized that Shen Yuan might be making the soap she mentioned.

But what’s the point of putting wood ash in a pot and boiling it?

Shen Rong frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out the reason. Seeing that it was getting late, she went home first.

After dinner, Shen Rong was digesting her food in the yard. Changsheng suddenly came over and whispered, "Sanniang, are you happy?"

Shen Rong raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her. At a glance, she noticed the nervousness in Changsheng's eyes.

What is Changsheng so nervous about?

Did he do something bad behind her back?

Shen Rong looked from top to bottom, and when she saw Changsheng's big hands tightly covering the cloth bag, she suddenly understood.

It wasn't that Changsheng did something bad behind her back, but that Changsheng couldn't bear to part with those dates!

He was afraid that Shen Rong would be unhappy, and then he would have to take out dates again. In this way, the few dates left in the box would be few.

Seeing that he was so nervous, Shen Rong wanted to tease Changsheng.

"Changsheng, I'm not happy!" Shen Rong frowned and said deliberately.

Sure enough, when Shen Rong said this, Changsheng's face almost wrinkled into a bitter gourd.

Shen Rong continued, "Changsheng, I'm not happy. I want to eat jujubes."

Changsheng pursed his lips, took out a jujube from his cloth bag reluctantly and handed it to Shen Rong.

Shen Rong raised her hand to take the dates, then turned around and went back to the house.

Changsheng stood in the yard, touching the few remaining jujubes in his cloth bag, and couldn't help muttering, "Oh! My wife is so hard to please!"

Shen Rong, who went into the house to get some candy, did not hear what Changsheng was mumbling.
