The illiterate life in the Northern Song Dynasty

Faced with the fact that he became illiterate, Wei Shiyi didn't want to admit it very much. After sending Zheng Shuangcheng away, he found several books to study by himself.

From adult enlightenment books in this world to children's enlightenment books, I tried to learn the books of this era, but it turned out that he was really not good at reading Chinese. Just like high school, his Chinese talent is still very low here.

Ordinary enlightenment books are difficult for him, so esoteric Chinese medicine books will only be more complicated for him.After trying for two days in a row, it seemed that it was time for him to go to the academy to study, but he still couldn't finish a book.

In this state, not to mention passing the exam to become a doctor, even going to school is a problem. After more than ten years of education, Wei Shiyi, who is not considered a top student but not a scumbag, feels a headache for studying for the first time. Even if the museum sits in town, we can't give up this ancestral industry that is equivalent to the original body.

Besides, Wei Shiyi didn't want to give up after being a doctor for so long in modern times.He looked down at the surgical instruments in his hand, very distressed.

He went to the gold store to pick up the surgical instruments yesterday, and the shopkeeper has already made them.The size and hardness are similar to those used by Wei Shiyi in modern times, and the hand feel is also very good.

He originally thought that he could not be a Western medicine doctor in this era, but he could also be a Chinese medicine doctor, and maybe he could still do some injuries that Chinese medicine can't treat but only Western medicine can treat under the name of a doctor.

Now it's all right, he can't be a Western medicine doctor, and he can't be a Chinese medicine doctor either.

I can't understand it any more, Wei Shiyi planned to go out to get some fresh air in order not to make his head hurt more.The lobby was bustling. Two days later, the discounts at Li's Restaurant were gone, but the guests who came to eat were not much different from before.

In the kitchen, Wei Shiyi knocked on the platform and asked the chef: "Uncle Fang, do you think we will introduce some more dishes at this time, okay?"

Reading was not smooth, so Wei Shiyi decided to find something to divert his attention.

At present, the business of Li's Restaurant is good, and when the guests are not tired of spicy hot pot and grilled fish, they can introduce new dishes.If the guests were tired of those two dishes, then the business of the restaurant would not be so good.

Everyone in the restaurant hoped that the business of the restaurant would be good. When Wei Shiyi asked this question, he didn’t think there would be any other answers. Therefore, when he heard the old house’s shock and panic and told him to go upstairs and not come to the kitchen, Wei Shiyi was a little bit nervous. stupid.

"Uncle Fang, what's the matter?"

Lao Fang put down his work and said again: "Brother Shi, you are a scholar, how can you come to the kitchen. Go back quickly, and don't come to the kitchen in the future."

What, what?

Wei Shiyi didn't understand even more, at this time Uncle Li came over, he said to the old house to take Wei Shiyi upstairs, and then took Wei Shiyi upstairs.Wei Shiyi was completely bewildered by this series of events, and immediately asked Uncle Li what he meant by the old house after he went upstairs.

Uncle Li coughed uncomfortably, and said, "Old Fang thinks that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, so he doesn't want you to go to the kitchen."

Wei Shiyi was stunned for a moment at first, and he was most afraid of being full of questions, a gentleman far away from the kitchen?What does this mean?Shouldn't scholars go to the kitchen?

He had heard the saying that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, but the original meaning of this sentence was not that scholars do not go to the kitchen at all, but Mencius used it to praise the kindness of King Xuan of Qi.

In the past, Wei Shiyi didn't know the meaning of this sentence, and was misled by books and rumors. It was only after being popularized by people that he learned the original meaning.But now... well, maybe there are not many people who only know the meaning of being misinterpreted.

It's just that it's impossible for him not to go to the kitchen. If the restaurant's business is good, it must keep producing new dishes, otherwise the restaurant's business cannot continue forever.

And to Wei Shiyi's surprise, Uncle Li didn't let him go to the kitchen anymore.Seeing Wei Shiyi's surprise, Uncle Li had no choice but to explain that he was worried that Wei Shiyi's classmates would look down on him for going to the kitchen.

Wei Shiyi: "..."

Wei Shiyi was a little silent, and then asked Li Sanshu how to solve this matter.

"That's how it is." Uncle Li pondered for a while, and thought of a way, "You teach me the recipe at home, and then teach me how to cook, and I will teach the old house. When you are in the restaurant, you don't go to the kitchen. It's not good for people to see."

It has to be said that the power of an era is much stronger than that of a single person.When most people think that sentence should mean that, then the person who disagrees is an anomaly.

Wei Shiyi didn't want to be an outlier, so he could only accept this solution.

Perhaps it was because the distress on Wei Shiyi's face was too obvious, so Uncle Li thought of a reason to comfort him, "Brother Shi, that's fine. Your health is also in good condition. You saw it two days ago. You should go to the academy to study." Now, go to the academy to find a doctor to maintain the Wei Family Medical Center."

Wei Shiyi: "..."

What should I do if my head hurts more?

In the end, Wei Shiyi still had to accept Uncle Li's proposal. Yuan fell into the river and hurt his head. Uncle Li helped him take a half-month vacation in the academy, which happened to end in two days.So, even if there is no saying that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, he still has to go to the academy to take classes.

In fact, it's okay, when he arrives at the academy, he can find his seniors to see if they are willing to work as doctors in the medical center.Now that he has money and can hire people, the Wei family medical clinic will not go bankrupt no matter what.

So Li Sanshu and Wei Shiyi agreed that Wei Shiyi would not enter the kitchen when he was in the restaurant, and at the same time pick up the books, at least to maintain his identity as a scholar on the surface.Moreover, it was time for Wei Shiyi to find a doctor for the medical clinic.

After another two days of preparation, it is time to go to the academy tomorrow.That night, Wei Shiyi and Wei Shihuan ate at Li's house, and the next day he got dressed and went to school with his schoolbag.

Ah, the long-lost school, I am back again!Wei Shiyi yelled in his heart, and started his journey of studying again with great energy.

Considering that Wei Shiyi lost his memory, Li Sanshu proposed to send Wei Shiyi to the academy on the first day.

The place where Wei Shiyi studied is called the Imperial Medical Bureau, which is a medical school, not very close.However, this proposal was rejected by Wei Shiyi. He had already inquired about the location of the medical school from Zheng Shuangcheng in the past few days, and he went there once with Zheng Shuangcheng. He was not afraid that he would not find his way.

Zheng Shuangcheng is an enthusiastic young man, cheerful and cheerful. Wei Shiyi has been with him for a few days, and he quite likes that young man.

Wei Shiyi insisted not to be given away, so Uncle Li had no choice but to give up.So this morning, Wei Shiyi went out alone, and after walking for about half an hour, he arrived outside the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The Tai Medical Bureau, a regular medical school in the Northern Song Dynasty, was established in accordance with the law to train medical talents. It is affiliated to the Taichang Temple. It has all the principals and vice-principals, and there are no shortage of professors. It is fully equipped.

Taichang Temple is one of the five temples, and the other four temples that can stand shoulder to shoulder with it are Dali Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taipu Temple and Honglu Temple. Before the Northern Song Dynasty, Wei Shiyi only knew Chang The Dali Temple that appeared in the photo, the Dali Temple is in charge of the prison, and its status is equivalent to the modern Supreme Court. If the Taichang Temple can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Dali Temple, then its status is not low.

The Northern Song Dynasty was able to place the Imperial Medical Bureau under the name of the Taichang Temple to train talents, which shows that the Northern Song Dynasty still attached great importance to medicine. What's more, those who graduated from the Imperial Medical Bureau could work in the Imperial Academy and serve the country.

Many people in modern times think that ancient medical skills are not good, so ancient times did not value medical skills so much, but it is not.

Not only that, the two most famous acupuncture bronze figures in ancient China were created in the Northern Song Dynasty.To improve the understanding of the acupoints of human organs, the ancients have already taken many steps in advance.

In the past few days, Wei Shiyi, in addition to reading books to read, also learned about the teaching of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and found that the teaching quality of the Imperial Medical Bureau is really nothing to say except that there is no sub-subject teaching.

The medical classics are taught by medical officers specially selected by the Hanlin Academy. This is equivalent to the modern Central Medical School, a public school funded by the state. It is full of gold and tall.

The location and building of the Imperial Medical Bureau are also very good. It is located at the root of the Imperial City. You can walk to the entrance of the Imperial City for ten minutes to the east from the school gate, and you can walk to the busiest Mashi Street in ten minutes to the west. That is, the Kaifeng government office, the street where the Wei Family Medical Center is located.

At that time, Wei Shiyi discovered that the street where the Kaifeng government office was located was actually the most prosperous street in Bianliang, and its prosperity was only comparable to that of the Daxiangguo Temple Fair.

The tea house and tavern are full of food and beverages. If the guests are full there, there are medical clinics and pharmacies next to them, and they can digest their food in minutes.The Daxiangguo Temple in Bianliang is also a lively place. Wei Shiyi missed the temple fair this time, but he can visit it later.

In short, Tai Medical Bureau is a school located in the city center, and its teaching status should be that of a modern state-run medical school.

In addition to its geographical location, its architecture is also very exquisite and gorgeous, with verandahs on four sides and flower gates on three sides. There are not only schools for students to go to school, but also rooms for teachers to rest, as well as free dormitories for non-Bianliang students.

Of course, not all teachers and students live in this kind of dormitory. If they have a home in Bianliang, they will all live at home.

Generally speaking, Taiyi Bureau is very good, very good!

only……

Wei Shiyi silently withdrew his gaze from the Imperial Medical Bureau, but with his current understanding of ancient Chinese and his ignorance of traditional Chinese medicine, it is not easy at all to be gilded with gold after graduating from this school.

It turned out that Wei Shiyi's idea was right.He entered the academy, found the school where they had classes, and found a place to continue studying, but he still couldn't understand.

Traditional characters are used in this era, and Wei Shiyi can read traditional characters stutteringly and even guessing, but it is impossible to learn traditional characters and their language.

When Zheng Shuangcheng, a cheerful young man, entered the school and found Wei Shiyi, what he saw was Wei Shiyi's frowning face.

"Brother Shi, you haven't remembered what's in the book?" Zheng Shuangcheng sat down beside Wei Shiyi.

Wei Shiyi sighed, "No."

Wei Shiyi can't read books, and Zheng Shuangcheng has noticed it these days. He uses his amnesia so he can't remember these book knowledge as an excuse, so every time Zheng Shuangcheng sees Wei Shiyi distressed, he will ask Did he remember it once.

The result is of course not remembered.

Wei Shiyi shook his head, and Zheng Shuangcheng immediately exaggeratedly sighed, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Hey, I don't know." Wei Shiyi also sighed sincerely. To be honest, he was really helpless in this situation.

But there was no way Wei Shiyi could not give up. In this era, there was no system of choosing subjects to study, so he could not choose to transfer subjects.He had only two choices, either bite the bullet and read, or drop out.

It is impossible to quit school, so we can only persevere.

It's been a really difficult day.

Holding the book, Wei Shiyi felt more and more uncomfortable as he thought about it. He put down the book, pinched his brows and asked Zheng Shuangcheng, "Brother Cheng, do you think it's okay if I go to the teacher to start a small stove?"

Zheng Shuangcheng was also troubled by Wei Shiyi's inability to memorize the books. Hearing Wei Shiyi's words, he asked incomprehensibly, "What is a small stove? Do you want the teaching assistant to cook for you?"

Wei Shiyi: "..."

"That's not what it means to open a small stove." Wei Shiyi's head hurt even more. He accidentally brought the modern dialect over, and casually explained to Zheng Shuangcheng that the meaning of opening a small stove was to ask the teacher to give him extra lessons, and then asked again: " Do you think this is okay?"

"Of course it is possible!" Zheng Shuangcheng's voice suddenly raised, and he said with certainty: "This is possible."

After figuring out what Wei Shiyi meant, the boy looked at Wei Shiyi with bright eyes, "Brother Shi, you can do it, but now you can't memorize the books, and your progress can't keep up with us. If you don't want to fall behind, you can find a teaching assistant to study." That's right."

Just do it, Wei Shiyi will do it when he thinks it through.He is now a person whose talent is not as good as this era, so he can only start with hard work.

However, Wei Shiyi was held back by Zheng Shuangcheng as soon as he got up. Zheng Shuangcheng told Wei Shiyi that it was still early and the teaching assistants hadn't come to the academy yet, so the teaching assistants would have to wait a little longer.

Well, the teaching assistant didn't come, so Wei Shiyi was waiting.There was a solution to the big problem on his mind, and Wei Shiyi felt a lot more relaxed, so he noticed that Zheng Shuangcheng was squatting there rubbing his stomach.

"What's wrong with you?" Wei Shiyi asked worriedly.

Zheng Shuangcheng's chubby face was wrinkled, and he said in embarrassment, "I'm hungry."

"Did you not have breakfast?" Wei Shiyi asked.

Zheng Shuangcheng: "I ate it, but... I'm hungry again..."

Wei Shiyi: "..."

What can Wei Shiyi say, Zheng Shuangcheng can be regarded as a buddy of his era, and the two of them have formed some kind of friendship in these short few days, so he naturally wants to accompany his buddy when he is hungry.

It happened that the teaching assistant didn't come, so Wei Shiyi took Zheng Shuangcheng to have breakfast on the street outside the Imperial Medical Bureau.There was a morning market in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there were stalls selling breakfast on the side of the road. Wei Shiyi and Zheng Shuangcheng were busy with their classes, so they found a noodle restaurant to solve the problem.

Wei Shiyi wasn't hungry, he just ate with Zheng Shuangcheng on this trip.Zheng Shuangcheng ordered food outside, and he waited inside.

But Wei Shiyi didn't wait long, when he saw Zheng Shuangcheng hurried in from the outside, looking nervous, Wei Shiyi was a little curious, and asked him what's wrong.Zheng Shuangcheng looked shocked and said, "I saw Wang Xueshui, it's too scary."

Wang Xueshui?What parent would name their son that?

Wei Shiyi thought he heard it wrong, so he asked Zheng Shuangcheng which blood and water the blood was.Seeing that Wei Shiyi was confused, Zheng Shuangcheng remembered that he had lost his memory, and said, "Hey! How could I forget these things about you? Wang Xueshui is the teaching assistant in the courtyard next door. He is soaked in blood all day long. That's why we nicknamed him Wang Xueshui."

Wei Shiyi: "..."

So this name is a nickname you give to others?

In this era, there is already such behavior as taking nicknames.Taking nicknames is not a very good behavior. It is different from taking nicknames. Nicknames will bring great troubles to the parties involved, especially bad nicknames.

To some extent, this kind of behavior can already be regarded as verbal violence.

After adjusting his expression, Wei Shiyi said to Zheng Shuangcheng seriously: "Brother Cheng, it's wrong to call people nicknames."

Zheng Shuangcheng is still young, and he can correct it. If he doesn't correct it, what should he do if he causes a lot of harm to others in the future?

"Brother Shi..." Wei Shiyi's expression was too serious, and Zheng Shuangcheng was a little confused, "I didn't pick up this nickname, it was given by other people, I just called it along."

"It's not okay to keep calling." Wei Shiyi said seriously.

Then he told Zheng Shuangcheng many examples of people who could not bear the verbal violence and fell ill, or even committed suicide.He also said that many people become inferior after hearing others call their nicknames.

In the end, seeing that Zheng Shuangcheng didn't quite understand, Wei Shiyi resorted to his trump card. He asked Zheng Shuangcheng more seriously, "Would you be happy if someone called you Fatty Zheng?"

"Who dares to call me Fatty Zheng!" Zheng Shuangcheng stood up suddenly and shouted loudly.

Come on, there is no need to answer, the actual action shows his attitude.

Now that Zheng Shuangcheng knew the seriousness, his face was stunned with anger. After a while, his white and chubby face flushed red, and he stammered, "Brother Shi, I know, I know I was wrong. In the future, I will Never call him by his nickname again."

Zheng Shuangcheng admitted his mistake very quickly, and Wei Shiyi didn't say anything more.

The next thing he knew was Assistant Professor Wang's real name. Assistant Professor Wang's name was Wang Xingzhi. He was an assistant teacher in the next courtyard. He also seemed to teach medicine, but he didn't know what he did.Because he has been soaked in blood all year round, and he seems to have to deal with corpses in his work, so many students gave him a nickname: Wang Xueshui.

Perhaps it was the bloody things that Assistant Professor Wang was exposed to, which caused some students to be afraid when they looked at him. This is probably the instinctive deterrence in the legend of the human body.

After eating the noodles, Zheng Shuangcheng was a little hesitant due to the impact of new information. He originally planned to accompany Wei Shiyi to find a teaching assistant to start a small meal, but Wei Shiyi saw his sluggish appearance and asked him to go to the school to rest, and he went to find it by himself. teaching assistant.

Wei Shiyi and their teacher's surname is Lin, and students usually call him Assistant Teacher Lin.Before class started, Assistant Professor Lin's office area was in another yard, so Wei Shiyi had to look for it next to each other.

After asking and searching all the way, Wei Shiyi found the teacher's office, but when he knocked on the door, the first thing he saw was not the teacher, but a book that flew over and almost hit him in the face.

A middle-aged elegant man ran out of the door, Wei Shiyi knelt down and picked up the book on the ground and handed it to him.

When the man saw that he had hit someone, who looked like he was still a student of the academy, he immediately put away his angry expression, and smiled kindly at Wei Shiyi.

He asked Wei Shiyi, "Who are you looking for?"

Wei Shiyi pretended not to see his embarrassment, and replied with a smile, "I'm here to find Assistant Professor Lin."

Assistant Professor Lin was right inside the door. When he heard the voice from outside, he raised his head from behind the man. Seeing that it was really his student, he immediately pushed the man in front of him away, and said to Wei Shiyi with a smile, "Wei Shiyi, you are looking for me." Is there something wrong?"

Assistant Professor Lin is still very impressed with this student who fell into the water after a great change in his family.

Wei Shiyi looked embarrassed, "Teacher assistant, I want to ask about my studies. I haven't come to the academy for the past few days, and it seems that I can't keep up with the previous progress. I wonder if I can find a way to find a teacher assistant."

Reading and learning is a big deal. Although the imperial examinations are not as strong as the imperial examinations, the strength of their examinations is not low. Students can't keep up with the teaching progress, which is troublesome.

Assistant Professor Lin quickly asked Wei Shiyi to enter the room, and immediately arranged a stool for Wei Shiyi to sit down, with a face full of long talks.

Only then did Wei Shiyi find out why Assistant Professor Lin didn't come out just now. He felt that the room was too messy, with books thrown around and pens and ink flying around.

The elegant man also came in. There were students here, so he and Assistant Teacher Lin stopped arguing.

He walked up to Assistant Professor Lin and said a few words in a low voice before he planned to leave, but he didn't know what the man said. Assistant Professor Lin said very shamelessly: "Wang Xingzhi, don't even think about it, that bronze man is from our college. It is used by many students to study, what use can you take it.”

Wang Xingzhi?

Wait, this elegant middle-aged man is the assistant teacher Wang that Zheng Shuangcheng said looked so scary, so scared that he even gave him a nickname?

The author has something to say:

I'm a little bit out of shape today, Wan Geng can't get on, and I'll be thick and long tomorrow. Comparing my heart? (????`)~
