Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 461 How am I

"Master believes in you. If you have any questions, you can ask your uncle, or you can come and ask Master."

Song Ying blinked and became even more nervous. "Master, what you mean is that I don't have to come to you every few days, but I can come to you if I don't understand something, right?"

Doctor Lin nodded.

Song Ying felt even more uncertain. Even if she wasn't assessed on her study assignment, she could have benefited greatly by communicating with her master about the illnesses she encountered. Now that was gone too, could she really practice medicine completely independently?

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back quickly. It's not safe to go back later."

Song Ying: “…”

So, are we going to skip today's discussion? There's no need to be so anxious, right?

She took out a piece of soap and handed it over. "Our cat soap is ready. Master, you can use it first. I'll go pick some books."

"Go ahead." Doctor Lin didn't even raise his head. He looked at the cat pancreas in his hand and muttered to himself, "It doesn't look much like Tangtang, but it has a bit of spirit."

Song Ying, feeling unsure, picked out a whole basket of books to take away. When passing by the small garden in the front yard, he saw from afar Shen Wanyi and her personal maid Baoqin, walking slowly. Baoqin was holding a food box in her hand, and judging from the direction they were going, they should be going to visit her brother Shen Yonghui.

Song Ying slowed down his pace, planning to wait until they were far away before leaving, so as to avoid having to say hello.

"Master Yuan!" Shen Wanyi suddenly called out in surprise, took a few quick steps over, and turned to the side of the rockery, "Master Yuan, are you going back?"

Yuan Qing? He has passed the provincial examination, why is he still applying for the provincial examination?

Song Ying stretched her neck to look, but her view was blocked by the rockery, so she couldn't see what was going on over there. She only heard Yuan Qing's polite answer, "Yes."

"Brother, you are really something. How can you let the guests go back hungry at this time? I asked the kitchen to make some snacks for you. Mr. Yuan, why not have a few to fill your stomach before leaving."

Song Ying raised her eyebrows. It was time to eat now. How could she still eat after having snacks? Shen Wanyi's excuse was too lame. She must have prepared this snack specially for Yuan Qing.

Didn’t Shen Zhuangyuan want the Sixth Miss to get engaged to Yuan Qing? Why did Shen Wanyi come to deliver snacks?

Is she attracted to Yuan Qing?

With her mind racing, she took a few steps and leaned out to look. Yuan Qing bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. I had some snacks with your brother while I was writing. I'm not hungry. It's getting late. Bye."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away with big strides.

"Hey, you—"

He was moving very fast and Shen Wanyi had no time to stop him. This was the front yard and it was not easy to shout to stop him. She could only watch him walk further and further away.

Seeing Yuan Qing disappearing around the corner of the corridor, her maid Baoqin said angrily, "Miss, Yuan Qing is too ungrateful. We sent him some snacks with good intentions, but he was so rude."

"Shut up!" Shen Wanyi scolded, emphasizing every word, "My snacks are for my brother."

Baoqin realized she had said something wrong and said hurriedly, "Yes, Miss, you are here to bring snacks to the young master. I was mistaken."

"Forget it this time, but if you slip up next time, you know the consequences."

Baoqin shrank back and lowered her head, "Yes, I know I was wrong."

Shen Wanyi walked straight forward: "Let's go and see what my brother is doing."

After the master and servant walked away, Song Ying went out, quickly crossed the front yard, and left the Shen Mansion.

As soon as she reached the alley entrance, she saw Yuan Qing coming towards her with an oil-paper bag in her hand. Song Ying was surprised, "Hey, are you going back?"

A trace of panic flashed across Yuan Qing's face, "No, something fell down, I'm going back to look for it."

"What is it? Is it serious? Let me help you find it."

"It's nothing important," Yuan Qing said. Suddenly, he noticed that Song Ying had just asked about 'going back', and asked suspiciously, "You know I'm in Shen's house?"

According to the usual frequency, today is not the time for him to come to Shen Mansion to study.

Song Ying touched the tip of her nose. After all, sending snacks would damage Shen Wanyi's reputation, so it was better not to point it out. She said, "Yes, Xiaolu said that you came to Shen's house today. Didn't you pass the prefectural exam? Are you still studying with Shen Zhuangyuan?"

Yuan Qing nodded, "The college exam will be held in August. The dean wants us, the students who have passed the prefectural exam, to go to Shen's house every five days to listen to his lectures."

This time, five people from Jiahu Academy passed the provincial examination, making it famous. It has truly earned the title of the number one academy in Shunqing Prefecture.

The Jiahu Academy in the past was also famous, but it was more because most of the students who could study there were children of officials. A small number of children from poor families studied particularly well and had a great chance of passing the imperial examinations in the future. It can be said that those who could study there had a bright future.

This provincial examination has proved this point. It can be predicted that there will be many families who want to send their children to study at Jiahu Academy in the future.

"Why are you here so early today?" Yuan Qing asked again. In the past, he would finish eating the buns and wait for fifteen minutes before Song Ying would come out.

"Master said that I don't need to come to her for assessment in the future. She just took a few books and let me go." When he mentioned this, Song Ying became worried again.

Yuan Qing said, "Congratulations, it seems you have succeeded."

"Hey, don't mention it. I'm really unsure. I feel like there are still many diseases that I can't cure."

"Since Doctor Lin did this, he must think that your medical skills are no longer a problem. You must have confidence in yourself..."

The two of them talked as they walked towards the north of the city. During the walk, Yuan Qing opened the oil paper bag, took out the buns and shared them.

The sky gradually darkened and there were few pedestrians on the road. They were all walking hurriedly, eager to return home.

When they reached the intersection of Yunshuifang Road, Song Ying waved and said, "I'm leaving first. You should go back soon. It will be completely dark soon."

"and many more."

Yuan Qing stopped her, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "I heard that your family is looking for someone to date you."

Song Ying was stunned, "How did you know?"

Even many people in the village didn't know about this matter. Basically only the Song family and Luo Yanxing knew about it.

"Listen to what your little brother said."

Song Ying even wanted to kill Song Yuan. How could he just talk about such a thing?

It was really embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing with a man. She didn't know what to say for a moment and just said "oh".

Yuan Qing was silent for a moment, then asked anxiously, "What do you think of me?"

"What?" Song Ying didn't understand.

Yuan Qing had never found it so difficult to speak. It was as if all the wonderful words and phrases he had learned in the past had disappeared from his mind. He could not remember anything. In the end, he could only say dryly, "What do you think of me?"

Song Ying felt that his brain was a little slow, and it took him a while to understand what was said. His face suddenly felt hot and burning.

She quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to look into Yuan Qing's eyes again, and stammered: "Aren't you going to marry a noble lady?"
