Upon hearing how serious it was, Shen Ningning immediately frowned with cute eyebrows.

"The crazy man always likes to read all night long and often doesn't light the lamp. Does this have something to do with it?"

"It doesn't matter much, the most important thing is that he has an old disease that has not been cured." The drug store owner said, and asked tentatively: "Miss, will you still prescribe medicine for him?"

It's not like he didn't see the crazy scholar's expression just now.

The other party obviously does not seem to be a patient who cooperates with the treatment. The drug store owner is not surprised. It is very common for some patients to hide their illnesses and avoid medical treatment.

Shen Ningning nodded without hesitation: "Treat, of course! Shopkeeper, go and prescribe the medicine. I will give it to you for him."

The drug store owner quickly waved his hand and said no.

"The noble man in the palace relies heavily on the young lady for his medicine. I'm just doing a small favor, how can I get paid for it."

Even though he said this, Shen Ningning still took off the small purse from her waist and put it directly into his hand.

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

"Two different things cannot be confused." The little guy said firmly.

The drug store owner didn't refuse anymore and started prescribing medicine.

When Shen Ningning walked into the room, the crazy scholar had already sat up.

"I have to go back to study," he said.

Shen Ningning waved her hand, signaling Chen Ye to hold him down.

"Crazy madam, you sit down first and wait until the grandpa from the drug store has finished prescribing the medicine and applying the medicine for your eyes before you go back."

"What?" The crazy scholar resisted: "I know my eyes well. If I don't want to cure them, don't worry about it."

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

Shen Ningning sat on the chair opposite the crazy scholar, with her little hands folded and a high expression on her face.

"It won't work without treatment. If your eyes are broken, you won't be able to read 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: "Okay, I agree to treat the eyes, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What's up?"

"At the end of this year, there will be an entrance exam to the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies. I want you to take the exam and enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences with the first place in Guangyang County."

Shen Ningning was surprised when she heard this, and her mouth opened wide: "Huh?!"

Every year, in every county, all private schools and institutions of higher learning, countless students sign up to try to get admitted to the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies.

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

However, in the end, no more than three students were admitted, and sometimes, no one was admitted.

If you don’t have connections and connections, it will be very difficult to get into the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies!

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

The crazy scholar calmed down and said in a calm tone: "She can do it. What she has learned and her intelligence have already surpassed half of the students in the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

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

Shen Ningning silently played with the hair beside her ears with her small hands and did not answer for the time being.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences was too far away for her.

The county magistrate had to have connections to send her to a place where she could study. Could she get in just by taking the exam?

The crazy scholar spoke slowly: "You don't have to agree. I'm teaching you knowledge, not because I want you to get ahead."

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

Once you enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences, everything will be different.

Shen Ningning is the smartest and most talented little guy he has ever brought up.

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

If it wasn't the Chinese Academy of Sciences, she would know just by trying it.

"Crazy Master, you must also promise me to take good care of your eyes."

"A word is a word, and a teacher never tells lies."

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

The drug store owner wrote a prescription: "Ms. Shen, I will have these medicines delivered later."

"By the way, I converted the six pounds of aconite that Miss Shen gave me last time into a banknote of nine hundred taels. If Miss Shen needs to exchange it for silver, just come to me."

Shen Ningning said thank you.

Then he asked: "How long will it take for the mad master's eyes to heal?"

The medicine shop owner mused: "This is a long process, but it will take effect in three months, and the eyes will no longer be so foggy. But it will probably take a year to be completely cured."

Shen Ningning took note of it and nodded: "I know."

The crazy scholar was very happy that Shen Ningning was willing to take the initiative to be admitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Just after applying the medicine in the afternoon, he sat up and listened to the little guy reading with his eyes closed.

After reading, he asked her to start practicing calligraphy.

The crazy scholar dug out a lot of dusty copybooks from the cabinet at home. They seemed to be quite old.

But when the pages of the book were opened, the handwriting on them was clear and the ink was smooth.

The font is like pine knots, with its own bone charm.

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

"If you practice calligraphy, you will have won half the battle." He said.

While Shen Ningning was practicing calligraphy, Chen Ye glanced at him from the side.

He picked up an idle copybook and said doubtfully: "I seem to have seen this word somewhere."

At that time, the crazy scholar had already applied the medicine and fell asleep. Shen Ningning was studying by the lamp and was extremely serious.

Hearing this, the little guy didn't even raise his head: "Where have you seen it?"

"In the general's camp, he said that this was the work of a great calligrapher, and every word is worth a fortune. What was that man's name...hiss, I really can't remember." Chen Ye scratched his head.

Shen Ningning smiled sweetly: "Crazy Master is a bookworm. He has all kinds of good books at home. Maybe he collected these."

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 him home to sleep, and came back to the village to study the next day.

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

During the day, she was studying in the room. The mad scholar, with medicinal cotton gauze wrapped around his eyes, was pacing beside her with his hands clasped behind his back, listening to her reading.

Sometimes he would give her some knowledge, and sometimes he would teach her while she was practicing calligraphy.

He taught seriously, and of course she studied hard.

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

The Black Wolf King was angry and often stood up and knocked the mad scholar down with his wolf claws.

However, the mad scholar was not angry either.

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

The villagers have been even more lively these days. Every household harvested fruits and sent them to be boiled for sugar.

From the beginning to the end of the village, there were villagers shouting happily.

Thinking of making money, even if the sun is shining brightly, gives me a lot of motivation.

On this 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 wolves to his own land to check.

Her loquat fruits have been cut away by Uncle Liu and others to make candies. I believe she will be able to get a sum of money soon.

Shen Ningning counted her money.

The aconite sold last time was nine hundred taels. There was still some money she had saved in Wonderland, but it was spent on treating the mad scholar.

She only has nine hundred taels of silver now. If she wants to buy jade again, it may not be enough.

Save more!

The little guy looked around and saw no one around, so she ducked into the fairyland.

He brought a bucket of spiritual spring water out to water his loquat tree.

At this time, the Black Wolf King was behind her and patted her gently with his paw.

"Ouch~"

It said there was something stuck to her back.

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

She patted the skirt of her clothes behind her with her little hand, and saw a dark cloud as big as her head rising slowly into the sky from behind her.

"Huh? When did a dark cloud come out?"
