"It can be cured. But..." The old doctor tried to be mysterious again.

Shen Lianxin took out some change from her purse and asked, "Just what?"

Seeing the silver, the old doctor's face darkened. "What are you doing? I just charge for the consultation. Are you questioning my medical ethics? Do you think I deliberately kept silent? I have been practicing medicine for decades. How could I act like this?"

Shen Lianxin......

Zhaocai was also confused when he heard this. He grabbed the old doctor's arm and said, "How can our lady question your medical ethics just because she paid you for the consultation? Will you tell me what's wrong with this disease? If not, I'll find another doctor."

Zhaocai snatched the silver from the old doctor's hand. The old doctor was afraid of this young man and his recklessness. He was too old to be dragged to run so far. It would be a waste of time to treat the patient. So he became more agile and snatched the silver back and put it into his pocket.

"The disease can be cured, but the medicine is expensive and you need to recuperate." Perhaps he was afraid that his money would be stolen again, so he spoke more fluently this time.

Shen Lianxin was glad to hear that it could be cured, and asked again, "What disease is Yunniang suffering from? What medicine should she take?"

The old doctor handed over the prescription slowly, "Chenpi, Pinellia, Stemona, Dried Ginger, Huajuhong, Ah Huang, Astragalus..."

"Take this prescription for 10 days. If you feel better, you can continue taking it. This lady's cough is not a short-term thing. She needs to nourish her lungs slowly. If she doesn't feel better after half a month, you can come back to me to check her pulse and change the prescription."

Shen Lianxin nodded. It was just as she thought. It looked serious but not fatal.

After sending the doctor away, he gave some change to Zhaocai and asked him to get some medicine.

Yunniang looked at Shen Lianxin with gratitude.

He took out the freshly bought meat buns, left two for Yunniang, and then invited everyone to eat in the pavilion in the middle of the yard.

It is very pleasant to eat in the pavilion on a hot summer day.

Gu Chengxin and the others ate as they walked. They were no longer hungry. Uncle Zhang brought Zhaocai Baizhi and Yan'er to eat with Shen Lianxin.

At the beginning, Bai Zhi and Zhaocai were a little restrained. Shen Lianxin was the master and they were servants, and it was against the rules for the master and servant to dine together.

But Shen Lianxin was not so particular, and modern people did not have such class distinctions in their minds. Seeing that Shen Lianxin really didn't care, they felt relieved and felt lucky to have met a good master.

After dinner, Shen Lianxin took the children for a walk around the city. Among the children, only Gu Chengxin and Gu Dingbei had been to Yuncheng once, and that was several years ago.

"Mom, what is this?"

"Mom, look at this?"

"Mom, this looks delicious!"

The children were watching with interest. Shen Lianxin followed behind them and couldn't help but smile when she saw how happy they were.

"purchase!"

“Buy this too!”

“Give me some of this too!”

Shen Lianxin bought some of the things the children liked, including little sugar men, snacks, and little windmills. The children jumped for joy.

The joy of spending money made the mother and her five children very happy.

Back at the store, Gu Chengxin suddenly became silent. Shen Lianxin was puzzled. It was clearly a happy day, so why did he suddenly become melancholy?

"What's wrong, Daxin?"

After thinking for a while, Gu Chengxin said, "Mom, we have spent a lot of money on so many things. You said you would send us to academy to study. We shouldn't buy these useless things."

It turned out that he was worried about money. At this age, he should be growing up happily and carefree. As the eldest son in the family, Gu Chengxin shouldered the burden of the whole family when his father died and his mother went crazy. His thoughts were not as mature as they should be for a child of this age.

Shen Lianxin touched his head and felt a little distressed. Obviously, he was only 8 years old and could have been a heartless little foodie like Gu Chengan, but he had been carrying too much invisibly.

"Daxin, you are still a child. Your mother will take care of the money issue. You don't need to worry about these things. You just need to study hard and be a happy child, okay?" Shen Lianxin said gently.

Gu Chengxin looked at Shen Lianxin with sparkling eyes. Could he also be a carefree child? Just like Cheng An?

Gu Chengxin could feel that his mother seemed to like Xiao An particularly and always said that he was simple-minded.

My mother must not like someone as thoughtful as him.

Shen Lianxin didn't know that so many plots had been imagined in her little head in such a short while. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she put a small sugar man in his hand, and then whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, mother has the help of the old immortal, everything can be handled. This is our secret!"

After hearing what Shen Lianxin said, a smile finally broke out on Gu Chengxin's face. Yes, although his personality was different from Gu Chengan, which made his mother like him, he and his mother had a unique secret, and his mother only told him this secret, and no one else knew it.

Thinking of this, Gu Chengxin nodded and a bright smile appeared on his face. Shen Lianxin didn't know the psychological changes of children, she just thought it was very interesting and coaxed him into submission with just a few words.

After a day of rest, Shen Lianxin brought Gu Chengxin, Gu Chengan and Gu Chengjing to Baichuan Academy.

They were received by an old teacher. Shen Lianxin specially prepared six gifts for the tuition. There were pork, representing gratitude to the teacher; celery, representing diligence; dried longan, representing the enlightenment of wisdom; lotus seeds, representing painstaking teaching; red dates, representing early success in passing the imperial examination; and red beans, representing grand plans.

The gift was divided into three parts, and the master was very satisfied. Nowadays, except for some scholarly families, it is rare to understand these etiquettes. Most people just pay the tuition fee. Especially for a village woman, being so polite made the old master happy.

The old man sat in the upper seat, stroking his beard, his eyes full of kindness, "Come, come, come, have you been enlightened? Have you learned the Three Character Classic?"

Gu Chengxin, Gu Chengan, and Gu Chengjing stepped forward, bowed, and then answered, "Master, we have only been enlightened for a short time, but we can already recite the Three Character Classic."

"Then recite a passage and listen to it."

"When a person is born, his nature is good; natures are close, but habits make them different; if there is no teaching, nature will change; the way to teach is to be specialized..."

Gu Chengxin started the conversation, and Gu Chengan followed up, "If jade is not polished, it cannot become a useful tool; if a person does not learn, he does not know righteousness; as a son, you should be close to your teachers and friends, and learn etiquette..."

When it comes to Gu Chengjing, he even shook his head and said, "The three talents are heaven, earth and man. The three lights are the sun, moon and stars. The three cardinal guides are the righteousness between ruler and subject, the affection between father and son, and the harmony between husband and wife..."

Shen Lianxin felt a little sleepy while listening to this, but the old man kept stroking his beard with a smile on his face.

Finally, the old man nodded with satisfaction, "These three kids are good, I accept them. The tuition fee is 2 taels of silver per person per year. If they eat and live in the academy, the cost will be calculated separately. I will add 1 tael per person."

The children were shocked. Two taels of silver per person, and six taels of silver for three people. This was simply unimaginable for them.
