Chapter 851: Lord Xu, I wish you success and all your wishes come true

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Not in Nanjing. I'm going home first and just happened to pass by Nanjing. I'll leave early the day after tomorrow."

When Shi Gou heard that Sun Shan was leaving so soon, he was reluctant and uneasy, and asked anxiously: "Sir, why don't you stay in Nanjing as an official? Why are you leaving so soon? Sir, will Shi Gou never see you again?"

Sun Shan didn't know what to say. Whether to come to Nanjing or not was not up to him.

He smiled and said, "Shi Gou, I don't know if I will come to Jinling again in the future. As for where to be an official, it is arranged by the court, and I have no choice but to obey the court. Don't be afraid, we are so destined to each other, I believe we will definitely see each other again in the future."

Shi Gou looked at Sun Shan reluctantly and asked timidly, "Sir, where is your hometown? If I have a chance, I will come to find you."

Sun Shan was stunned, and it seemed as if something touched the strings in his heart.

Still smiling, he said, "Okay, I'll write down my address. If there's a chance in the future, come find me."

After a pause, he continued, "If I go back to Jinling in the future, I will look for you."

The ten dogs were overjoyed. With someone like Sun Shan around, their sadness of separation was washed away a lot.

He said happily: "Okay, sir, it's a deal."

Sun Shan also asked Shi Gou how he was doing as an apprentice at the Wan Family Clinic. Was it difficult to learn? Did he understand what his master said?

Shi Gou scratched his head in frustration and said, "Sir, my brain is dull and I can't remember most of it. The master only explains it once and the brothers and sisters remember it, but I have to explain it several times before I can barely remember it."

After a pause, Shi Gou glanced at Sun Shan.

Sun Shan gestured and said, "Shi Gou, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. No need to be secretive."

Shi Gou scratched his head and said sadly, "Sir, Master said that if I didn't have someone protecting me, the Wan Family Clinic would definitely not want me."

After saying this, he hung his head and said nothing.

Sun Shan never thought that Shi Gou's master would point it out so bluntly.

He asked with concern: "Ten Dogs, tell me honestly, did the master teach you the knowledge? Is what the senior brothers and junior brothers learned the same as yours?"

Shi Gou nodded and said, "Master teaches us together. I learn whatever my brothers and sisters learn."

Sun Shan was worried that Shi Gou didn't understand the details of his master's teachings.

So he asked, "Tell me in detail what the master taught you."

Sun Shan had been surrounded by medicine since he was a child, so he actually knew a lot about medicine.

This is called becoming a doctor through long-term illness.

Shi Gou carefully recalled with Sun Shan what he had learned at the Wan Family Clinic.

When you first enter, you will read medical books, then identify medicinal herbs based on the books, then learn how to prepare the herbs, and what the quality of the herbs after preparation is like. Then you will slowly be taught how to diagnose diseases and look at past case prescriptions.

There is no more in-depth teaching, that is something you can accumulate slowly in the future.

After hearing what Shi Gou said, Sun Shan couldn't help but feel relieved.

Maybe Shigou’s master didn’t like Shigou, or maybe he despised Shigou for being stupid, but the content he taught him was just as much.

And from what Shi Gou said, it can be seen that the Wan family has carefully nurtured Shi Gou, otherwise they would not have taught him in such detail.

It even teaches how to prepare herbs and prescribe medicine based on case histories. This is very in-depth and not superficial at all.

Sun Shan said confidently, "Shi Gou, what the master says is his business. You must study hard and seriously. If you don't understand once, learn it twice. Don't be afraid of what the master says or what the master says. The knowledge you learn is yours. Learn as much as you can. Do you understand?"

Shi Gou nodded: "My lord, I understand. Even if the master doesn't like me, I won't leave."

Sun Shan patted Shi Gou on the shoulder and said encouragingly, "Shi Gou, when I was studying, I also hoped to have a good teacher to teach me, but I searched for a long time but still couldn't find one.

But I am thick-skinned and will ask the teacher if I don’t understand something. Even if they don’t like me or are annoyed with me, as long as they still teach me, I will ask.

We are real men, we have to be willing to lose face. It is a rare opportunity for you to study medicine. If you miss it, you will never have it again."

Shi Gou said clearly, "Sir, my grandfather said the same thing. I can study medicine thanks to you. If I don't persist in studying, I will let you down. Sir, I can't let you down."

Sun smiled and said, "Good dog, your grandfather is right, don't let me down."

Shi Gou said cheerfully: “My grandfather also said that if you are on good terms with the Wan family, the Wan family will give you face and will not drive me away as long as I don’t make any mistakes.

Even if my master dislikes me, he would not dare to drive me away and would teach me medical skills.

Sir, you are my biggest support. When the young master of the Wan family sees me, he will talk about you. He said you are a good teacher and a good person. He missed you very much and asked me if I missed you. Sir, I missed you very much too. I am very happy to see you today. "

Sun Shan smiled, as brightly as a blooming flower: "Shi Gou, if you study medicine well and change your fate of being a porter, that will be the greatest reward for me.

Shi Gou, if there is a chance in the future, let more children of porters study medicine and help others, just like I helped you in the past, okay?"

Shi Gou nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, sir, I will follow your example and be a good person like you."

Sun Shan chatted with Shi Gou for a long time and did not fall asleep until late at night.

The next morning, Gui Ge'er was asked to take the ten dogs back to the clinic.

Before leaving, she gave him a red envelope: "This is my high school gift money. Shigou, take it well and share my good luck. I hope you will have a smooth and healthy life."

Shi Gou took it and looked at Sun Shan reluctantly. After this separation, he didn't know when they would see each other again.

Lord Sun said that not too many people should know about his return to Nanjing, and his family members don’t need to know about it.

Shi Gou understood that Lord Sun didn't want to be disturbed.

Brother Gui said that we should do whatever Lord Sun tells us to do, and that is how we should be good dogs to Lord Sun.

The ten dogs are Mr. Sun’s good dogs, so they will listen to Mr. Sun’s orders.

Shi Gou said with red eyes: "Sir, we will meet again if we are destined."

Sun Shan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, Shi Gou. Study medicine well and become a good doctor when you grow up."

After sending the ten dogs away, Sun Shan asked Sun Dingnan to go to the Duke's Mansion to deliver a visiting card to Steward Xu. It was unknown whether he was in the capital or in Jinling.

It wouldn't hurt to ask around anyway.

Now that I'm back in Jinling, I must meet my old friends.

When he was in the capital, Sun Shan not only suspected that his relatives and friends had leaked the information to the "Capital Tabloid", he also seriously suspected that Butler Xu had leaked the information, and even suspected that the Xu family had "shares" behind the "Capital Tabloid".

No matter what, since we are here at Butler Xu's "base camp", we have to pay him a visit.

If not, there is nothing we can do.

As for Duke Xu, Sun Shan had no idea who he was.

What's more, I heard from Wan Songjin that Duke Xu is in Hangzhou and is still taking the lead in promoting the new policies.

Alas, it is really hard for this old man in his seventies or eighties to make enemies everywhere.

Maybe this is what they call "it's lonely at the top".

Sun Shan could only say silently in his heart: Duke Xu, I wish you success and all your wishes come true.
