Chapter 2519  Test

“I want to,” Song Yi Nan said solemnly.

Nan Hua rubbed the child’s head once more. Right now, she felt that she was about to develop a hobby of rubbing a child’s head.

“Let me see how much you know about those plants first.”

“Is it important to know the plants to become a doctor?”

“Yes, because many medicines are made from plants. If you can’t recognize the plants, how could you become a doctor?” Nan Hua asked rhetorically.

Song Yi Nan’s eyes turned bright. “I know a lot!” “Write them down.”

“Yes!”

With that, Song Yi Nan started to write on the bamboo scrolls prepared for him. His writing was still a bit crooked, but it was still very good for a 4 year old child. Beside him, Song Yi Liang was looking at his younger brother. He could read what Song Yi Nan wrote and blinked his eyes. He didn’t expect that Song Yi Nan would know so much words at only 4 years old.

Even when he was at Song Yi Nan’s age, he didn’t seem to be as capable as his younger brother.

He wouldn’t be surpassed by Song Yi Nan, would he?

But thinking that Song Yi Nan didn’t seem to have any interest to become an official, Song Yi Liang put down his heart. It seemed that he didn’t have to worry about it at all. Nan Hua watched as Song Yi Liang’s expression changed thoughtfully.

The child’s thoughts were still very visible on his face. If he wanted to become an official in the future, he would have to learn how to hide his thoughts from his face.

But this might be for later.

After all, the child was still young and it was impossible for them to ask too much from him. “Prepare more bamboo scroll,” Nan Hua said when she saw Song Yi Nan was not done. It seemed that this boy had learned a lot.

With his interest in this area, he might be able to become a good doctor.

But becoming a real doctor wouldn’t be an easy task. “Yes.”

The servants were there and quickly prepared more bamboo scrolls for Song Yi Nan.

“Young Madam Long, can you recognize all of those plants?” Song Yi Liang asked while waiting. He was bored because he had no interest in these plants, so he chose to ask some other questions to Nan Hua. “Yes.”

Nan Hua knew all of them.

And there were also many other plants that Madam Song didn’t plant in her garden that was also useful as medicines. But Nan Hua didn’t have to tell this to them yet. It would be good for them to learn bit by bit.

“Amazing,” Song Yi Liang murmured.

Those plants looked very similar to each other in Song Yi Liang’s eyes, but Nan Hua was able to recognize all of them. It seemed that if his younger brother were to learn under Nan Hua, he would not be at disadvantage at all. Before long, Song Yi Nan finished.

“Young Madam Long, I don’t know how to write the rest of the plants,” Song Yi Nan said in embarrassment. He did learn how to write most of the plants on the backyard because he asked his mother to teach him, but there were many others that he didn’t know. After all, if the writing was too difficult, Madam Song would not teach it to Song Yi Nan yet.

The boy was still too young and the words he learned were the relatively simple words.

“I’ll see.”

“Yes.”

Nan Hua read the content of the bamboo scrolls and nodded in satisfaction. For a 4 year old boy, Song Yi Nan was already very good. The description was not very complete, but it was enough to describe most of the plants. “You’re very good, Yi Nan,” Nan Hua said and put down the bamboo scroll. She could see the boy was nervous. “Do you want to learn under me?”

“I want to!” Song Yi Nan said excitedly.

“Even if it’s difficult?” Nan Hua asked again.

“Yes.” Song Yi Nan nodded.

Nan Hua looked at Song Yi Nan who was determined to study and then asked, “Why?”

“Why?”

“Why do you want to become a doctor?”

“Because I like plants…and… I don’t want to become an official,” Song Yi Nan said in a low voice.

He never said this to his father, but he felt that his father was too busy. Those people who communicated with his father didn’t look like good people. They were smiling and laughing with his father but none of them truly smiled sincerely from their hearts.

Even though Song Yi Nan didn’t really understand what these people were doing, he knew very well that they were not really treating his father with sincerity.

He didn’t like it.

If he become an official like his father, he would have to deal with people like this for a long time, and Song Yi Nan didn’t want to.

He liked sincere people better. But how many people were truly sincere in their words and deeds?

Many people covered their face with mask and what they said and did were not something they truly wanted to do from the bottom of their heart. Because they knew very well that if they showed their real self, there were not many people who would be willing to accept them. Song Yi Nan didn’t like these people.

But he knew that his brother wanted to become one because it was an honor for the family.

As for himself…

He didn’t know what he wanted to do.

Song Yi Nan was still too young and didn’t know many things about the world, so he never spoke about this matter to anyone. Now that Nan Hua told him that becoming a doctor required him to learn about plants, Song Yi Nan felt that this would be good. “And if I become a doctor, I can have a garden on my own, right?” Song Yi Nan asked with anticipation.
