The four little guys were very happy knowing that Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were going to take them to apprentice. They expressed with great interest that they would definitely behave seriously and let Liu Daru accept them as apprentices.

Lu Jiao reminded them: "Liu Daru only accepts one disciple, so no matter who he accepts as a disciple, the others must not cry. Parents will find a way to find another teacher for you later."

The four little ones responded crisply: "We know."

In fact, they feel that if their parents are not busy, they can learn from them. Both parents are very good.

But the four little guys also know that now that their father is an official, and their mother has to do business and see a doctor, there is no time to teach them, so they should go to apprentice.

At noon, Guanshi Xiao got the news.

"Liu Daru is currently living in Xifeng Garden outside Nancheng, which is the property of the Liu family."

Liu Daru's ancestral home is in Ningzhou. The Liu family is a big family in Ningzhou Prefecture. Many children in the clan study and become officials. They are one of the four major families in Ningzhou Prefecture.

The West Maple Garden is also one of the properties of the Liu family. Liu Daru lived in the West Maple Garden after returning to his hometown for retirement.

After hearing this, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao said that they would take the four little ones to West Maple Garden to learn from their teachers after dinner in the afternoon.

After listening to Xie Yunjin's words, Steward Xiao opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed it back.

But Xie Yunjin saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"

Butler Xiao glanced at Xie Yunjin and said, "My lord, we have found out that there are many people posting posts in Xifengyuan every day, wanting to worship Liu Daru as a teacher, but Liu Daru has never been seen."

Xie Yunjin frowned slightly, and Lu Jiao smiled and said: "Anyway, let's go and visit first, if he really doesn't want to accept the four little guys as teachers, we can invite the other four little guys to be teachers. "

In fact, if it wasn't for the Little Four Treasures, they didn't have to worship Liu Daru as their teacher, but the background of the Four Treasures was different from that of the Big Treasure. He is highly valued by His Majesty today, and his popularity is unmatched by ordinary people. If the Little Four Treasures are taught by this person, if they really return to the Yan Palace in the future, they will definitely not lose to those sons who were born in the Yan Palace.

Xie Yunjin listened to Lu Jiao's words, nodded in agreement, and proudly said: "He refuses to accept others as his disciples because those people are not good enough for him. If he sees our child, he will definitely be willing to accept him as his disciple. of."

Xie Yunjin can proudly say that in the entire Great Zhou, there is no one who is smarter than the four little guys in their family.

So he was confident that if Liu Daru saw their children, he would definitely accept one of them as his disciple.

After hearing Xie Yunjin's words, the four little ones immediately raised their chests and raised their heads, looking energetic.

Lu Jiao laughed and asked them, "Are you confident?"

The four responded in unison: "Yes, mother, don't worry, we will definitely let him accept one of us as a disciple."

It's a pity that although he was confident, he didn't even see Liu Daru's face.

In West Maple Garden, the steward of Liu's family impatiently said to Steward Xiao who handed over the post: "Aren't you annoying? I've said it all. Our adults don't accept disciples, don't accept disciples, and you keep going here Run and pass the post."

Guan Shi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Didn't you say that Liu Daru wanted to accept a closed disciple?"

Didn't Liu Daru let this rumor out? If he didn't let it out, why did so many people come here to hand in the post?

"Our old man wants to take in a disciple, but right now the old lady is not in good health, and the old man doesn't have the heart to take in a disciple, so you guys should leave quickly."

Outside the West Maple Garden, many carriages were parked, all of them were people from various families in Ningzhou Prefecture who came to visit Liu Daru.

When these people saw Steward Xiao deflated, they all laughed sarcastically, and someone said loudly: "Where did this fool come from, the man Liu Daru doesn't even give the Ning family face, he will give them face."

Housekeeper Xiao knew who this Ning family was as soon as he heard it. It was the Ning family, one of the four great families in the Ning Prefecture. Empress Zhaoyi.

This Empress Zhaoyi also asked her father for a title of Earl, and everyone called Empress Zhaoyi's father Uncle Ning.

The Ning family has also become one of the four major families in Ningzhou Prefecture because of this Zhaoyi lady.

However, although the Ning family has a lot of face in Ningzhou Prefecture, Liu Daru did not buy their family's face, and did not accept their children as disciples just because their family had a Zhaoyi empress.

Hearing the ridicule from all around, Housekeeper Xiao turned around and went to his own carriage to report: "My lord, the Liu family doesn't accept postings, saying that they don't accept disciples right now."

In the carriage, Xie Yunjin raised her eyebrows, while Lu Jiao asked Guanshi Xiao outside: "Didn't they let out the rumors earlier?"

Guanshi Xiao said helplessly: "They released it, but they said that the old lady is not in good health recently, and the old lady has no time to take disciples."

In the carriage, Lu Jiao listened to her thoughts and told Steward Xiao, "You spent money to find out the news and see if the old lady of the Liu family is not in good health or has some kind of illness?"

As soon as Lu Jiao said, Housekeeper Xiao's eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten that his wife's medical skills are very good. If the old lady is ill, his wife can cure her.

"Okay, the little one immediately sent someone to inquire about the news."

Manager Xiao immediately arranged for people to inquire about this matter. There were many people who came to Xifeng Garden today. Because of boredom, the servants of these families gathered together to talk in groups of three, five, and one party. Zhou Shaogong managed to inquire about some news smoothly. , it turned out that Mrs. Liu was really sick.

"I heard that the old lady was ill. At first, it was only memory loss, irritable and suspicious. Liu Daru felt sorry for his wife, so he resigned from his old age and returned to his hometown, and brought Mrs. Liu back to recuperate. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu's condition has worsened recently. I can’t even talk about it, and I don’t know anyone anymore, Liu Daru is extremely anxious, so I don’t have the heart to accept any more disciples.”

After listening to Butler Xiao's words, Lu Jiao's first instinct was that Liu Daru's wife was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, which is what ordinary people call Alzheimer's disease, and her illness had reached the middle stage.

So far, there is no good treatment plan for Alzheimer's disease. Before you get the disease, you can intervene in the treatment, but if you get it, there is no good treatment plan.

But that was for others. Lu Jiao had done similar treatment in her previous life and achieved unexpected results.

Of course, she used Lingquan water to treat Alzheimer's disease, but now is a good opportunity.

Lu Jiao thought about ordering Housekeeper Xiao outside and said, "Knock on the door again, and tell that person that I can cure the old lady's illness. If he doesn't believe you, you can whisper to him that I once acted for General Wang of Jingzhong. Had arm surgery."
