Chapter 91 A Dark Cloud

When she heard it was so serious, Shen Ningning immediately frowned her cute fluffy eyebrows.

"The mad scholar always likes to read all night and often doesn't light the lamp. Is this related to this?"

"It's not that important. The most important thing is that he has an old illness that has not been cured." The owner of the drugstore said, and asked tentatively: "Miss, do you still prescribe medicine for him?"

He just saw the expression of the mad scholar.

The other party obviously didn't look like a patient who cooperated with the treatment. The owner of the drugstore was not surprised. Some patients were afraid of illness and were afraid of seeing a doctor. This was very common.

Shen Ningning nodded without hesitation: "Treat, of course I will treat! Grandpa, go and prescribe medicine, I will give you the money for the medicine."

The owner of the drugstore waved his hand and said it was not necessary.

"The medicine of the nobleman in the palace still depends on Miss. I just helped a little, how can I charge money."

Although he said so, Shen Ningning still took off the small purse on her waist and put it directly in his hand.

"There are twenty taels of silver in it. Use it first. I will give you more later."

"Two different things, can't be confused." The little guy said firmly.

The shopkeeper did not refuse again and went to prescribe medicine.

Shen Ningning walked into the house, and the crazy scholar had already sat up.

"I have to go back to study." He said.

Shen Ningning waved her little hand and signaled Chen Ye to hold him down.

"Crazy scholar, you sit down first, wait for the old man in the pharmacy to prescribe the medicine and apply the medicine for your eyes, then you can go back."

"What?" The crazy scholar resisted a little: "I know my eyes well, I don't want to treat it, and don't worry about it."

He wanted to leave, but Chen Ye's big hand pressed on his shoulder, and he couldn't get away at all.

Shen Ningning sat on the chair opposite the crazy scholar, with her little hands folded, her face full of pride.

"It's not okay not to treat it. If your eyes are damaged, you won't be able to read books clearly in the future. Who will teach me?"

The crazy scholar lowered his head in silence.

Finally, he raised his head again and said firmly: "Let's do this, I agree to treat my eyes, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

"At the end of this year, the National Academy will have an entrance examination. I want you to take the exam and enter the National Academy with the first place in Guangyang County."

Shen Ningning was surprised and opened her mouth wide: "Ah?!"

Every year, in every county, all private schools and academies, countless students sign up to try to enter the National Academy.

Shen Ningning once heard Master Huang say that nearly three thousand students apply every year.

However, the number of people who were finally admitted did not exceed three, and sometimes, there was no one.

It is very difficult to get into the National Academy without connections and connections!

Chen Ye also frowned: "I heard that the youngest student in the National Academy is seven years old, and the young lady is... Is this a bit embarrassing for her?"

The crazy scholar was calm and said in a light tone: "She can do it. What she has learned now and her intelligence have surpassed half of the students in the National Academy."

"I have confidence in her," he looked at Shen Ningning, his eyes still misty: "Do you agree?"

Shen Ningning used her little hands to silently play with the hair beside her ears, and did not answer for the time being.

The National Academy is too far away for her.

The county magistrate grandfather had to use connections to send her to study. Could she just take an exam and get in?

The crazy scholar said slowly: "You can also not agree. I teach you knowledge, not to make you stand out."

"I just hope you can have a better way out, instead of being trapped in this small mountain village, do you understand?"

Everything will be different after entering the National Academy.

Shen Ningning is the smartest and most talented kid he has ever taught.

After a moment, Shen Ningning nodded heavily and agreed: "Okay!"

It's just the National Academy. She will know after trying it.

"Crazy scholar, you have to promise me to treat your eyes well."

"A word is a promise. I never say empty words."

Shen Ningning asked the crazy scholar to live in her village house temporarily and asked Chen Ye to help take care of him.

The owner of the medicine shop wrote a prescription: "Miss Shen, I will have someone send these medicines over later."

"By the way, I converted the six catties of Aconitum that Miss Shen gave me last time into nine hundred taels of silver notes. If you need to exchange it for silver, just come to me."

Shen Ningning thanked him.

He asked again: "How long will it take for the crazy scholar's eyes to heal?"

The owner of the medicine shop pondered and said: "This is a long process, but it will be effective in three months. The eyes will not be so foggy, but it will take a year to completely cure it."

Shen Ningning wrote it down and nodded: "I know."

The crazy scholar was very happy that Shen Ningning was willing to take the initiative to enter the National Academy.

As soon as he finished applying the medicine in the afternoon, he sat up and listened to the little girl reading with his eyes closed.

After reading, he asked her to start practicing calligraphy.

The crazy scholar found many dusty copybooks from his cabinet at home, which looked a bit old.

But when the pages were opened, the handwriting on them was clear and the ink was fluent.

The font was like pine knots, with its own bone rhyme.

The crazy scholar gave the copybook to Shen Ningning and asked her to practice according to it.

"If you practice the characters, you will be halfway to success." He said.

When Shen Ningning was practicing calligraphy, Chen Ye took a look at her.

He picked up an unused copybook and said puzzledly: "I seem to have seen this character somewhere."

At that time, the crazy scholar had fallen asleep after applying the medicine, and Shen Ningning was studying by the lamp, very seriously.

Hearing this, the little girl didn't even raise her head: "Where did you see it?"

"In the general's tent, he said this was the work of a calligraphy master, and each word was worth a thousand gold coins. What was that person's name...hiss, I really can't remember." Chen Ye scratched his head.

Shen Ningning smiled sweetly: "Crazy scholar is a bookworm, and there are all kinds of good books at home. Maybe this is what he collected."

Chen Ye thought it was right and put down the copybook.

It was dark at night, and the black wolf king howled twice. Shen Ningning followed it home to sleep, and came to the village to study the next day.

In this way, Shen Ningning persisted for four or five days.

During the day, she studied in the house, and the crazy scholar, with cotton yarn for compressing in front of his eyes, walked around her with his hands behind his back, listening to her reading.

Sometimes he pointed out some knowledge to her, and sometimes he taught her when she was practicing calligraphy.

He taught seriously, and of course she studied very hard.

It's just that the crazy scholar sometimes forgets to eat and sleep, and the little guy often forgets to eat.

The black wolf king was angry and often stood up and pressed the crazy scholar down with his wolf claws.

However, the crazy scholar was not angry.

Every time he stood up, patted his robe, and said calmly: "You go to eat, I'll see what I'll tell you later."

The villagers were even more lively these days. Every household cut fruits and sent them to make sugar.

From the beginning to the end of the village, there were villagers' happy shouts.

Thinking of earning money, even under the scorching sun, there was a lot of motivation.

That day, Shen Ningning studied for two hours, and the crazy scholar allowed her to go out for a walk.

The little guy took the black wolf king and the wolf pack to check his own land.

Her loquats had been cut by Uncle Liu and others to make sugar. I believe it won't be long before she can get a sum of money.

Shen Ningning counted the money on her.

The last time she sold the aconite, she sold nine hundred taels. There was still some silver she saved in the fairyland, but she spent most of it to treat the crazy scholar.

She only had nine hundred taels of silver now, and it might not be enough to buy jade again.

Save some more!

The little girl looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she flashed into the fairyland.

She brought out a bucket of spiritual spring water and watered her loquat tree.

At this time, the black wolf king was behind her and patted her gently with his claws.

"Ah~"

It said that there was something stuck on her back.

"Huh?" Shen Ningning put down the bucket and turned her head to look at her back, but she couldn't see what was stuck.

She patted the lapels behind her with her little hands, but saw a dark cloud the size of a head slowly rising from behind her.

"Huh? When did you bring a dark cloud out?"

Are you preparing to explode?
