Three volumes, each about a centimeter thick. How many people were recorded in there?
Shu Jun answered earnestly, “Yes, the Shu family is extensive. Through generations, our family has been dedicated to the practice of medicine, and currently, we have five generations living together. There are more than 300 people in our extended family.”
Liu Shimei,
She widened her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked, “When you say more than 300 people in the family, you mean according to your family records?”
Not including daughters who married into other families, and not including servants!
She had thought that having four generations of the Zhang family living together was impressive enough, but the Shu family had five generations under one roof!
She could not afford to provoke such a powerhouse!
“Yes, Master,” Shu Jun replied, maintaining his composure.
Liu Shimei was deeply impressed. What a powerful and long-standing family, especially one dedicated to the practice of medicine.
She flipped open the topmost volume and found that the records had been meticulously organized. The ages were listed from oldest to youngest, and each person had a dedicated page. Naturally, the first person, being the eldest, had more extensive records due to their wealth of experience.
Knowing that it would take considerable time to read through, Liu Shimei glanced briefly and couldn’t help but exclaim again, “Disciple, your skill in organizing information is truly admirable, I’m truly impressed!”
His computer-like knowledge, the meticulous categorization, the neat and orderly grids – it was incredibly satisfying for someone with OCD tendencies!
“Thank you, Master, for your praise,” Shu Jun replied without a hint of pride, completely composed.
He had shown apt.i.tude in this area since childhood and had become accustomed to any compliments. With excellent upbringing, he had been taught never to become conceited, understanding that the path of medicine was endless.
Humble and composed, he had an exceptionally good character.
Liu Shimei closed the book and said, “But… this youngest one is only six years old, right? Sending a six-year-old child to me, what can she do? Are you suggesting I employ child labor?”
In this era, child labor was common, but Shu Jun was still underage, just 15. She, the boss, was only 16.
Shu Jun replied, “The younger ones are all my younger sisters. Father’s intention was to send these people here for Master to choose from. If Master thinks their talents are suitable, they can stay by your side. Whether you’re willing to accept them as apprentices or not, since you are my Master, they should address you as such.”
Liu Shimei,
Was this turning into a kindergarten?
She already had a silly dog to take care of, and it broke her heart. She really didn’t want to handle a group of little radishes!
Seeing her lack of interest, Shu Jun wasn’t disappointed. She stood quietly, waiting for her instructions.
With too many candidates, Liu Shimei found it a bit overwhelming and said, “Alright, I’ll take a closer look when I have the time. You can go busy yourself for now. Once I’ve made my selections, I’ll inform you directly.”
“Yes, Master.” Shu Jun left, but not before giving a respectful nod to Huangfu Lingyao.
Knowledgeable and well-mannered, he was as proper as a textbook example.
Watching the door close, Liu Shimei sighed, “This disciple is truly extraordinary!”
She looked at the contents, the first page being a summary index listing the names and ages of the 4.8 individuals from the three books.
As long as she chose someone, she just needed to mark the name on the index.
If this kind of genius were placed in modern times and given proper training, they would undoubtedly achieve greatness!
After Shu Jun left, Huangfu Lingyao approached Liu Shimei. Hearing her praise the disciple, his tone turned sour, “What a pity, I can’t do anything well. Wife, your disciple is so talented, will she look down on me for being useless?”
He wanted to say: My dear wife, I’m quite talented too, I just don’t dare let you know.
Liu Shimei was stunned and looked at him..
