Chapter 577: Formal Study of Medicine
"Yes, Hongxia, just say whatever you want to say. We are family, what are you afraid of? You have overcome such a difficult time." Wang Ruru thought that something had happened to Chen Hongxia, and she spoke anxiously.
"I went to town today to become Fu Bao's apprentice. Tomorrow morning, I will move to Master's clinic to learn medical skills from him."
Chen Hongxia took a deep breath and spoke it out in one go.
"What? Study medicine? Become a disciple? Hongxia, are you crazy?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cui came out from the inner room, looking at her granddaughter with a puzzled look on her face.
Life at home finally got better. After saving some money, she discussed with her husband about giving her granddaughter more dowry and marrying her into a good family.
But the granddaughter said she wanted to study medicine.
Why bother learning medicine if you don't get married quickly?
If this goes on any longer, even the widower will look down on me.
"I have made up my mind. Moreover, I have sworn to God that I will never marry in this life. If I break my oath, I will die without a complete body..."
Before she could finish her words, Chen Hongxia's mouth was covered by Cui Pozi.
"Ah, bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about? Go in and have your meal. After dinner, grandma will take you to see someone tomorrow morning. You are so old, how can you not get married? If a woman does not get married in her whole life, won't she become a nun?"
Mrs. Cui didn't understand her granddaughter's thoughts. She was only worried that her granddaughter would live alone after her death.
The family has already delayed the development of our granddaughter for too long.
"Grandma, I can't regret it. I have already become your disciple. Moreover, my brother can walk and become a normal person, all thanks to the master's treatment. I also want to be like the master and do my best to save people, and pull those who are like my brother out of the abyss of illness and pain, so that they will no longer suffer from it."
There was suddenly light in Chen Hongxia's eyes.
Her tone was firm, and her voice echoed in the Chen family yard.
"Brother supports you. As long as you want, just do it. This will always be your home. You can come back whenever you want."
Chen Tianfeng broke the silence.
Wang Ruer also said: "Sister-in-law also supports you, go ahead, Fubao is a good doctor, you will definitely learn something, getting married is not that good, giving birth is so painful, you have nephews and nieces, are you afraid that no one will take care of you in your old age? If they are not filial to you, I will be the first to forgive them."
Wang Ruer has long treated her sister-in-law as her own sister.
When her husband was paralyzed in bed, her sister-in-law took care of everything in the house.
Wang Ruer saw how much she had paid.
The human heart is made of flesh.
Wang Ruer was never a heartless person, so she was naturally extremely grateful to Chen Hongxia.
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, then it's up to you. But Grandpa wants to tell you that you can't give up halfway. If you want to learn medicine from Fubao, then study hard and be obedient. Do whatever she asks you to do and don't lose your temper.
You have an impatient temper, you need to change your temper. If you don't like what Fubao says, you have to listen. She is doing this for your own good. With medical skills, you don't have to worry about being hungry in the future. Okay, go in and eat. After eating, pack your luggage and go to bed early. Leave before dawn tomorrow. Don't let your master wait for you."
Old Chen put down the half-woven bamboo basket, stood up, clapped his hands, and went into the main room.
Mrs. Cui wanted to say something else.
Seeing that everyone in the family stood on the side of his granddaughter, he had no choice but to shut up.
It was rare for the family to not talk while eating.
When Chen Hongxia went back to the house to pack her clothes, Mrs. Cui came in.
"Your grandfather asked me to give you this silver. It was originally intended for your dowry. Since you don't want to get married, keep it for yourself. You can't eat and drink for free in the clinic. Remember to give the silver to your master. If it's not enough, come back and ask for more. Grandpa and grandma are still in good health.
Now that your brother has recovered from his illness, the autumn harvest is coming soon. The family doesn't need this little money. Don't keep your sufferings to yourself. It's not like being at home outside. You need to keep your temper steady and not get angry. Work hard in the clinic and don't make your master unhappy. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Cui stuffed the two taels of silver in her hand into her granddaughter's hand.
As he gave these instructions, tears began to flow.
"Grandma, it's not like I won't come back. Master is a good person, I will come back to see you often, and Master doesn't ask me for money for food and accommodation in the clinic, so you can take this money. There is not much money left at home, and you should keep it for yourself.
Master specifically told me not to bring money with me. Grandma, I will work hard and will never make Master angry, so don't worry."
Chen Hongxia stuffed the silver back.
The next day, before dawn, she got up early, washed, made breakfast for her family, ate a simple breakfast herself, and left.
Not long after she left, Mrs. Cui walked out of the house. Looking at the closed door and the kitchen filled with fragrance, she wiped her tears.
When we arrived at the city gate, it was not open yet.
Chen Hongxia waited for a quarter of an hour before the officer opened the door.
She was first in line and the first to enter the city.
When we arrived at the door of the clinic, the servants living there were already sweeping the floor.
Her senior brother was sitting on a chair, holding a medical book and reading it.
"Hey, Junior Sister is here, go to the backyard and clean up your room. Have you had breakfast? There are two steamed buns in the backyard kitchen, they are still hot, eat them while they are hot. In another half an hour, Master will be here, and we will be very busy then."
Shao Siyou heard the noise, looked up and said to her.
"Senior Brother Shao, I've already eaten. Okay, I'll go clean up now." Chen Hongxia walked to the backyard.
As a result, as soon as the bundle was opened, two silver coins rolled out from it.
It was exactly what her grandmother gave her last night.
She clearly put it back into grandma's hands?
Chen Hongxia was a little puzzled. It was only until she remembered that she had gone to the toilet at night and when she came back the door was slightly open that she suddenly realized what had happened.
It turned out that grandma had not slept yet, and was waiting for her to get up in the middle of the night so that she could take the opportunity to stuff the silver into her bag.
Chen Hongxia's eyes were wet again.
After calming herself down, she folded her clothes and put them in the closet, then made the bed and returned to the front of the shop.
"Senior Brother, is there anything you need me to do?" Seeing the servants sweeping the floor and wiping the table, Chen Hongxia couldn't join in and she looked a little restrained.
"You are here to learn medicine, not to be a servant. If you are bored, go and look through the medicine cabinet and identify the herbs." Shao Siyou said, pointing to the medicine cabinet on the left.
His eyes were always on the book in his hands.
This was given to him by his master.
I heard that it was spread by the imperial physician in the imperial city.
You can’t even buy it.
"Okay, senior brother. I'll go right away." Chen Hongxia nodded and opened a drawer at random. The medicinal material inside was ginseng slices. She pinched it in her hand to feel it, and then smelled it. She closed the drawer and started looking at the next one.
Jiang Fubao happened to see this scene when he arrived at the clinic.
"You're quite studious. Not bad."
