Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 468: Building Relationships

After sighing, Song Ying was a little surprised. "Which room is this calligraphy? Calligraphy is related to writing, right? Do you know all the characters?"

"The barracks." Song Tian was very proud when he mentioned this. "I have learned a lot of characters in the past three years. I know all the commonly used ones!"

In fact, there were not many runners in the yamen who could read and write. It was because Huang Bantou saw that he could read that he treated him differently.

Song Ying sighed, "It's true that people can learn things easily. Before, asking you to study hard was like asking you to die."

Song Tian laughed, isn't that the truth? He studied seriously in the community school for several years, but he could only recognize a small number of words.

However, during the three years I worked in the government office, although I spent every day either running errands or drinking and chatting with my brothers, and there were only a few situations where I needed to recognize words, I still learned a lot of words.

Seeing that he was so proud, Song Ying thought for a moment and said seriously, "You have been in the government for more than three years, so I won't remind you to be cautious.

But there is one thing: once you become an official, you should not spend all your time bullying the people and riding on their heads to act tyrannically.

There is a saying that goes, it is a good place to practice in the public sector, good and evil are only a thought away, so do more to accumulate virtue for yourself and your family.

Besides, there are always people who are better than you. If we hit a tough spot one day, our family has no foundation in the officialdom. If you want to distort the facts to save you, that is impossible."

At this moment, Song Tian was very convinced by Song Ying. He was not disgusted by her preaching at all. Instead, he felt that Song Ying was reminding him for his own good. "I know the seriousness of the matter. By the way, I want to go home and tell grandma and the others the good news. Sister, do you want to go back with me?"

"No, I can't leave." Song Ying was not used to hearing him calling her "sister". In the past, he only called her by her name, and only called her cousin when he needed to clarify his relationship with her.

Of course, she is the same.

Song Tianben just asked casually, and he didn't insist after hearing it, and said cheerfully: "Then I'll go first, so I don't have to travel in the dark later."

This is an exaggeration. It is not even noon yet. Even if we walk for a while and rest for a while, it won't be dark when we get home.

Although Song Ying had expected Song Tian to show off when he returned, he did not expect the impact to be so great.

The next day at noon, Aunt Liu San came to Huichun Hall first. She looked at her with an especially friendly look, "Song Ying, I heard that you found Song Tian's job. Oh, you have a promising future.

We are all from the same village, so if you have such a good thing, you should think about your brother Dalang."

Song Ying: “…”

She was not familiar with Wang Dalang, nor were they related to him, but she was still thinking about him. How shameless of her to do so.

She simply ignored the last sentence and only answered the first half, "It's not all me who found them. Song Tianshi did a good job, so the officials were willing to promote him."

Although she really wanted people to know that Song Tian got the job because of her, how could she admit in public that Song Tian got the job by exchanging favors?

Wouldn't this give others a handle and cause trouble for Master Zhang?

Aunt Liu didn't expect her to agree right away. She came here today just to get closer to Song Ying.

In the past, they knew that Song Ying was very powerful and had good medical skills, but after all, he was just a doctor.

Unexpectedly, this doctor actually had the ability to get a job in the government without spending a penny!

When she thought of Song Tian's arrogance and the glory of Li and Yang yesterday, Aunt Liu felt a surge of heat in her heart. If Song Ying hadn't wanted to take someone's pulse and diagnose a patient, she would have wanted to hold her hand and talk to her.

"I've always said you were capable, but we aunties were so ignorant that we didn't know how you were capable. Today I know that your foresight is something that no other girl in our village can compare to. Song Tian is an official, and your family will be an official family in the future. Since you are from different backgrounds, it will be easier for you to get married in the future..."

"Third Aunt, if you want to see a doctor, please go and wait over there. I'm seeing a patient here. You keep talking and interrupting my train of thought." Song Ying interrupted her.

Song Ying was already annoyed by her shamelessness in asking for an official position for her son, and his words became more and more unpleasant, as if she was taking advantage of Song Tian.

Hearing that Song Ying's thoughts on treating the patient were interrupted, the patient's family members who were seeing the doctor hurriedly persuaded and pulled her, "Auntie, please come over here and sit down. This clinic needs to be quiet. Being sick is annoying..."

Aunt Liu was embarrassed to be accused by a stranger in a roundabout way, but she really didn't care. However, she didn't want to miss this opportunity. She wanted to wait until Song Ying finished seeing the patient before saying anything. However, after seeing the current patient, another one came. Sometimes she didn't even have the chance to speak.

Helplessly, she could only leave first. Before leaving, she invited Song Ying to come to her house next time, which made Song Ying speechless.

This day was destined to be not a peaceful one. Not long after Aunt Liu San left, another aunt and grandmother from Xinghua Village came and asked Song Ying not to forget their sons and grandsons if he had another chance in the yamen.

They also said that Song Tian already had a place to stay, and Song Yuan didn't need to study. Although their sons and grandsons were a level higher than Song Tian and Song Yuan, they were still neighbors in the same village, and a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative.

From them, Song Ying roughly learned something about what happened yesterday. Song Tian deliberately wore his official uniform when he returned, and he started to show off since he entered the village. People who were working in the fields went back to watch him, and he even said proudly that from now on everyone should call him Mr. Song.

Li and Yang were also grinning from ear to ear and were complimented by the entire village. The scene was no less glorious than when Yuan Qing passed the imperial examination and became a student.

The children of Xinghua Village have always been mediocre and not good at studying. The only scholar came from other places to escape famine. Song Tian was the first person in the village to become an official.

The villagers made a fuss for a few days before they finally calmed down and stopped coming to the clinic to seek connections with Song Ying.

On this day, Song Ying was seeing patients as usual when Luo Yanxing suddenly ran over breathlessly, "Song Ying! Song Ying! Hurry, my sister is having a difficult labor!"

She was full of anxiety, and didn't care that Song Ying was treating someone, so she pulled her away. Song Ying quickly shouted, "Wait a minute, I haven't got the medicine box yet!"

Luo Yanxing let her go and urged, "Hurry up, the messenger said that the baby had gone into labor last night and hasn't been born yet!"

It was useless to persuade her not to rush at this time. Song Ying hurriedly said, "I'll be quick."

After saying that, he rushed into the pharmacy, quickly filled up the labor-inducing medicine, took some ginseng slices, and then rushed out, "Let's go."

"I'll carry it!" Luo Yanxing took the medicine box and put it on his back, then he pulled Song Ying and ran out.

"Let me go and run away."

"No, you're too slow."

"No, let me go, and let's go hire a carriage. We can't run away like this."

In recent years, Song Ying has developed the habit of traveling long distances by car. Even if she needs to go to a remote mountain village for a medical consultation, she will choose to take a ox cart. Now that she is in a hurry, running on foot is even more impossible.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's hire a carriage!" Luo Yanxing turned around and ran to the other side.
