As soon as he heard that his uncle planned to settle down in Qixia Town and open a medical clinic, Yuan Qiu quickly answered the call.
Member Qiu knew that if his uncle could settle down in Qixia Town, it would be a huge benefit to the Qiu family.
Although the Qiu family is a well-known family in the town, it is only limited to Qixia Town. Who outside of Qixia Town would know that he is a rich man.
But his uncle was different. He was the chief imperial physician of Tai Hospital. His official position was the envoy of Tai Hospital. His official position was the fifth rank, which was much higher than that of the seventh rank magistrate of Louzhi County.
And more importantly, his uncle was once the chief imperial physician, and he treated countless dignitaries, royal family members and nobles.
With such a huge network of connections, Yuan Qiu was frightened just thinking about it.
Although Yuan Qiu has no intention of pursuing an official career, he does want to find a good future for his son Qiu Xiaodong.
Nowadays, there are only three ways for ordinary people to become officials. One is to study and take the imperial examination.
This is the most mainstream way, but it is also the most difficult one. The road to the imperial examination is long. How many people have spent their entire lives taking the exam without passing the exam.
Although Xiaodong has been smart since he was a child and has been praised by his teachers, it is still too difficult to pass the imperial examination smoothly.
There have been many great talents throughout the ages. They were talented and smart since they were young, but they failed in this imperial examination.
Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s talk about the Lu Xiucai in front of us. He has been a famous child prodigy in the village since he was a child. He can read a thousand words at the age of three, memorize Tang poetry at the age of five, read the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of seven, and is proficient in poetry and poetry at the age of eight. Such talent is no better than that of his family. Xiaodong is much stronger, but so what now?
Looking at the frugally dressed scholar in front of him, Qiu Yuanwai shook his head in his heart. He did not want his son to become the second Lu Xiucai.
In addition to the imperial examination, the most familiar one is the recommendation.
The recommendation system has existed since ancient times, from Yao, Shun, and Yu to the present day. However, those who can be recommended are those with great talents, and they must have corresponding works and reputations. His son is still too young, so the same is not applicable.
In the end, the third path that was most suitable for his son was to enter the Imperial Academy!
The Imperial College, as its name suggests, is a place for educating talents for the country. As the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as the court's own talent cultivation base.
Students who graduated from the Imperial College can become officials without taking the imperial examination. There are no position restrictions, ranging from the second-rank chief secretary to the ninth-rank county registrar. It can be said that the future is bright.
Although there are corresponding assessments in the Imperial College, these assessments are much easier than the imperial examinations.
Even if you want to prove your strength, you can take the imperial examination instead.
The students of the Imperial College are called supervisory students, and they can directly participate in the provincial examinations like scholars.
It can be said that after entering the Imperial College, you have half a foot in the official career.
And this is only the most basic. There is another hidden benefit of studying in the Imperial College, and that is connections.
Those who studied in the Imperial College were either talented and knowledgeable students selected from various places, or the children of powerful people who were protected by Zuyin.
Originally, with Qiu Xiaodong's background, he just passed the test for the tribute supervisor. There was no connection behind it, so it would be difficult for him to be selected.
And now if he has the background of Doctor Qiu, then as long as his test scores are not outrageous, he will definitely be on the list!
For the future of his son, Yuan Qiu naturally wanted to hug the towering tree of his uncle.
A few small shops are nothing, even if he is asked to give up this house, he will not hesitate at all.
Of course, Divine Doctor Qiu is not short of money. After being the chief physician for so many years, Divine Doctor Qiu is not short of money.
However, Divine Doctor Qiu did not reject Yuan Qiu's kindness. After all, the distance between them would be brought by contact. Since he decided to settle in Qixia Town, he and Yuan Qiu's family would inevitably have contact.
He smiled and nodded, then looked at Xiao Liu again.
"What about settling in?"
Hearing what Divine Doctor Qiu said, Xiao Liu felt something was wrong, but he still nodded and said:
"Senior, please rest assured. Senior can settle down in Qixia Town and open a medical clinic in Qixia Town. This is our blessing for Qixia Town. I will report to the county magistrate early tomorrow morning. I believe this household registration and the procedures for opening a medical clinic are It will be done soon.”
"Well, in that case, Deputy Lao Yan will be the one to catch the head." Qiu Jimin smiled and nodded.
"Senior, you're welcome. I have been of life-saving grace to this junior. This matter is just a small effort." Xiaoliu agreed.
"By the way, senior, it's getting late at this time. Due to an urgent matter tonight, senior and little sister were disturbed from their rest. Since the matter is over now, it is inconvenient for Xiaoliu to disturb senior's rest. We will come back after Xiaoliu has washed and tidied up tomorrow. Thank you for visiting, and I hope senior and little sister have a good rest tonight."
Hearing Xiao Liu's intention to leave, Doctor Qiu looked at Xiao Yingluo, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, nodded, and whispered:
"Well, Deputy Chief Yan has fought hard all night, and it is indeed time for him to get more rest. In that case, I will wait for Deputy Chief Yan to come tomorrow."
"Junior, please leave." Xiao Liu leaned over and clasped his fists, saying softly.
Seeing Xiao Liu preparing to resign, the shopkeepers looked at each other and walked over together.
Originally, they planned to stay in Qiu Mansion for the night, but they didn't expect that Doctor Qiu's medical skills were so high and he cured Lao Bai with just a few injections.
Xiaoliu was about to leave at this time, so they thought about it and said goodbye together.
Lao Bai's injury is almost healed, and Xiao Guo's injury is not serious. They are worried that someone might break into the store if it is so empty. After all, this night is not peaceful.
When Xiao Liu resigned, Xiao Yingluo had already fallen asleep in the arms of Divine Doctor Qiu. Her cute sleeping state was really endearing.
The medicine Dr. Qiu gave Xiao Yingluo had the effect of calming and calming her nerves. At this time, the medicine had begun to take effect, and that was why Xiao Liu chose to leave.
After everyone walked out of Qiu Mansion, they walked to the county government office together because they were on the way.
Returning to the county government office, the gate of the county government office was closed at this time. Xiao Liu knocked on the side door, but no one responded.
Xiao Liu looked back at the people who were looking at him, he chuckled, then he jumped up, stepped on the brick wall and flew in with a swish.
Except for Lao Bai, this was the first time for everyone to see Xiao Liu's handsome Qing Gong, and they were all amazed for a moment.
Even Lao Bai was filled with amazement in his eyes. He didn't expect that Xiao Liu's Qing Gong could reach this level.
Xiaoliu did not directly open the side door after entering, because the Yamen was not a place where people could enter at will.
Moreover, the shopkeeper and others did not want to go in and sit down, especially Lao Bai.
Xiaoliu, who entered the Yamen, quickly returned to his private room.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he heard thunderous snoring.
Xiao Liu looked at the other room. His master must have fallen asleep.
In this case, Xiao Liu gently opened the door and went in. Dazui, who was sleeping soundly, did not feel Xiao Liu's arrival at all.
Xiao Liu lit the candle, came to the bedside, looked at the sleeping Dazui, and pointed directly at it.
Seeing that the sleeping Dazui was lit by him, Xiaoliu didn't have to worry about him suddenly shouting and waking up others in the process of waking him up.
Then without saying a word, Xiaoliu directly lifted the fat man weighing more than two hundred kilograms with one hand, took his clothes at the same time, dressed him briefly, and carried him out.
At the gate of the county government office, after Xiao Liu climbed over the wall and entered, the shopkeeper and others had been waiting at the gate.
"Why hasn't Xiaoliu come back after being gone for so long?" the shopkeeper said impatiently.
Too. A group of people, late at night, in the cold wind, just stood in front of the county government office, waiting stupidly. There was no place to sit, and everyone would be impatient.
Everyone leaned against the stone lion and heard the shopkeeper's complaints. He slept in the same room as Da Zui. At the same time, he was also the most considerate scholar among the people and spoke up to defend Xiao Liu:
"Shopkeeper, you can't blame Xiao Liu for this. You know Dazui. He is like a dead pig when he falls asleep. Maybe Xiao Liu is screaming right now."
"Then what should we do? How about you go in and take a look at the exhibition hall?" After hearing Xiucai's words, the shopkeeper also remembered this matter, and she couldn't help but turn to Lao Bai and said.
However, Lao Bai rejected her instantly.
"I won't go even if you kill me. This is a yamen. My legs are already weak just standing at the door, let alone going in."
As he said that, Lao Bai looked down at his legs.
Everyone also followed Lao Bai's gaze and looked down, only to see that Lao Bai's legs were indeed weak and trembling now.
Seeing Lao Bai like this, the shopkeeper knew that Lao Bai was hopeless, so she turned her eyes to Xiao Guo.
But as soon as the shopkeeper turned his eyes to Xiao Guo, Xiao Guo immediately started coughing. "Cough cough cough!"
While coughing, she held Xiaobei's hand and signaled to him with her eyes.
Xiao Bei was also very wise and quickly used his other free hand to help Xiao Guo calm down.
Seeing Xiao Guo like this, the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, the side door opened with a "squeak", and Xiao Liu walked out carrying a fat man weighing more than two hundred kilograms.
