The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 109 What do you study?

Lin Yu felt the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit strange today; everyone seemed to be giving him expectant looks.

Lin Yu's heart pounded. He first looked at his older sister, instinctively suspecting that she might have done something.

Lin Yan's expression remained relatively calm, but she excitedly served Lin Yu food and soup, saying, "Eat this, carrots, it's good for your eyes."

"And this, fish soup. It's good for the brain!"

"Sister? You..."

Lin Yan looked at her with concern: "Oh dear, you must be tired from studying, eat more!"

"Oh. Oh!" Lin Yu nodded blankly.

Chen Shuo suppressed a laugh, while Chen Feng stood up and served Xiao Jingzhi a bowl of fish soup. "Young Master, you should drink some too, it's good for your brain!"

Xiao Jingzhi raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.

"Cough cough cough!" Lin Yu choked, looked up at the group, completely bewildered.

"Is something the matter?"

Lin Yan blinked: "You should eat first!"

Lin Yu swallowed a few mouthfuls hastily, "I'm full!"

Lin Yan said seriously, "Actually, I found you a tutor."

Lin Yu was taken aback. "Sir? What sir?"

Xiao Jingzhi looked at him gently and said, "It's me. From now on, I will tutor you every night."

"Tutoring?!" Lin Yu was both surprised and delighted. He was delighted that someone could tutor him, which would speed up his learning progress. He was surprised because although this young master Huai'an had lived at his home for some time, he hadn't spoken many words to him and they weren't very familiar with each other.

"Young master, you want to tutor me?!"

Xiao Jingzhi nodded. "That's right! Now that you're full, let's begin!"

Lin Yu: (owo?)!

"Huh, it's starting already?" Lin Yan was also stunned.

The Chen brothers watched the two men go to the study, and, unable to finish their meal, quickly followed.

“I said you guys were acting strangely today,” Li Zhongwei said after the others left.

"I'm not eating either! Dr. Li, remember to clear the table later!"

"What?!" Li Zhongwei exclaimed in surprise, "You actually want an old man like me to clear the table for you?!"

…………

Outside the study.

"wrong!"

"wrong!"

"Of course not!"

"Hey!"

"Forget it, you haven't learned it, so it's not your fault!"

The three people drinking tea outside listened intently to the story, finding it all fascinating.

Xiao Jingzhi tested Lin Yuxian on the Analects he had studied and found that he could only recite it but did not know the stories behind it.

As for his own preview of "The Great Learning," it was even more outrageous; his understanding of it was all wrong.

"Let's start by talking about the Analects!"

"Although your teacher has explained some of the meanings, they are very superficial and not helpful for your memory. Let's start by learning from Confucius himself..."

Xiao Jingzhi, as expected of someone who received a top-notch education, was thoroughly familiar with the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics. Just take the Analects as an example; he could cite classical texts to explain the meaning of each sentence, the stories behind them, and the history of the main figures.

With expert guidance, Lin Yu listened intently, feeling that what he had learned was insignificant compared to others. He listened carefully, and even the content he had learned before, he could hear the difference.

Lin Yu: He seems to be much more capable than Mr. Lin!

Lin Yan listened with great interest.

Chen Shuo: "How many hours will it take to learn this! Young Master can't overwork himself!"

Chen Feng: "It won't be too late, young master still needs to make medicinal wine!"

Chen Shuo: "I saw that Young Master set the questions last night!"

Lin Yan: Oh my god!

Xu Shi.

"That's all for tonight. Review what I've covered and then do these exercises!"

Lin Yu nodded obediently, took the paper filled with questions, and buried himself in reading them.

Lin Yan outside the door: Xiao Jingzhi really did assign homework!

As soon as Xiao Jingzhi stepped out of the study, he saw the three people drinking tea outside.

"You were a bit harsh with him. Actually, he's quite perceptive, but he started school a little late, so he doesn't know many basic things yet."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "No, no! You explained it so well! I understood everything!"

Xiao Jingzhi raised an eyebrow in confusion: "You've never been to school?!"

Lin Yan can read and write, and he has seen her handwriting; it is clear that she has practiced diligently. She also knows many strange and unusual things, so she shouldn't be uneducated.

Lin Yan: "Uh... I've read it, but not this one."

She studied finance, a field that's popular in modern times but useless in ancient times! Moreover, she encountered the apocalypse before graduating from university and hadn't looked at any textbooks for ten years. Later on, she did learn some botany.

Fortunately, the writing here was the same as in her own world, only with slightly different strokes, which she could still recognize.

"What is that?" Xiao Jingzhi was really curious. Although he felt a little presumptuous, he still asked. This girl had too many secrets.

Lin Yan blinked, searching among the many books for something to say, "I read... Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica."

Xiao Jingzhi: :::::::::::::

Chen Shuo: ...Is this reliable?!

"You read the Compendium of Materia Medica?" Li Zhongwei came up the stairs, looking at Lin Yan curiously. He had originally asked Xiao Jingzhi to take a medicinal bath, but he overheard Lin Yan's words.

"You're studying medicine?"

Lin Yan shook her head, "No, it's just that I wanted to learn some herbal medicine."

Li Zhongwei was quite interested. "Oh? How much do you know?"

"Since you've read the 'Compendium of Materia Medica,' let me test you!"

Chen Shuo: Wow, another gentleman has arrived!

Xiao Jingzhi smiled and stood quietly to the side, watching the show.

Li Zhongwei pondered for a moment and asked, "The Compendium of Materia Medica records that consuming cinnabar can prolong life; it is listed as the first superior herb in the Compendium of Materia Medica. What do you think of this?"

Lin Yan smiled, thinking to herself: If this old man really wanted to test how well I had learned, shouldn't he have just asked about the knowledge inside? Why did he go off on a different track?

The claim that cinnabar is non-toxic and can be taken for a long time is a well-known mistake in later generations. However, people in ancient times did believe in alchemy.

"The truth is that taking cinnabar not only doesn't prolong life, it's also poisonous!"

Li Zhongwei's eyes lit up. "Oh? Since you've read the 'Compendium of Materia Medica,' why do you have a different opinion from the one mentioned there?"

Seeing Li Zhongwei's expression, Lin Yan knew that he definitely had doubts about the record.

"What is written in books is not necessarily all correct. Times are changing, and so should medical techniques. We will find in practice that our predecessors also made mistakes."

"Cinnabar can be taken, as it does have a calming and soothing effect."

"But it also has side effects. Its sedative and tranquilizing effects are achieved by damaging the nervous system to create a state of numbness. It is not a therapeutic effect."

Li Zhongwei's eyes lit up even more as he listened. "Where did you get that information?! I've always thought that cinnabar is poisonous, and that long-term use of cinnabar will shorten one's lifespan. Although they feel that they are in good health, a pulse diagnosis can reveal that their bodies are severely depleted."

Lin Yan didn't answer his question. "Dr. Li should have faith in his medical skills, dare to question, and learn the truth through practice!"

Chen Shuo: She actually studied it!

Li Zhongwei stared at Lin Yan for a moment, his eyes gleaming. "Hmm."

Pointing at Xiao Jingzhi, who was watching the show, she said, "You need treatment!"

Xiao Jingzhi's brow twitched. "Ahem, alright!"
