Dr. Yao became anxious, “I am not good at those evil prescriptions, but my medical skills are real, and all the doctors in Qingping County combined are not half as good as me.”
“Quackery?”
Song Wan Yue raised her eyebrows.
“No, no.” , Doctor Yao hastily changed his mouth, “I was wrong, it’s an absolutely ancient recipe.”
“That’s fine.”
Song Wangyue begrudgingly said, “For the sake of your old age and not having someone to carry on the mantle, I’ll take this burden.”
Doctor Yao was overjoyed and immediately stood up, walked quickly to the door, opened it and went out, and quickly dragged Gu Yi back, “Young master, this is what Miss Song said herself, she wants to take me as her teacher and learn the art of medicine from me, if you don’t believe me, ask her.”
Gu Yi looked over.
Lest she say anything she shouldn’t, Doctor Yao desperately gave her a wink.
“It’s true that I promised to pay my respects myself.”
Dafu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, “You see, Young Master, I’m not lying, am I?”
Gu Yi sat down on the chair where Dafu Yao had just sat, and tapped the desk with one hand, one after the other, and Dafu Yao’s heart went up and down with him.
“It’s fine to follow you to learn medicine, there’s no need to worship.”
“No!”
As Gu Yi’s words fell, Doctor Yao immediately objected, “Only by worshipping a master can I pass on all my lifelong medical skills to Miss Song, I can’t do it without worshipping a master. Not only do I have to worship, but I have to do it solemnly, it can be done together with Miss Chu’s worship ceremony tomorrow.”
Gu Yi narrowed his eyes.
If it was anything else, Doctor Yao would have given in, but not this, he had to have a proper disciple, so that when he died in the future, he would have someone to burn paper at his grave.
“Do you have to be a disciple?”
Dr. Yao did not back down, “I have to worship.”
“Fine.”
Doctor Yao was stunned, not expecting Gu Yi to agree so quickly.
“What?”
Gu Yi raised an eyebrow, exactly the same as Song Wan Yue’s action just now.
“Good, good, good.”
After saying three good words in a row, Doctor Yao stroked his beard and laughed out loud, “I, Yao Qianshu, will have a disciple from now on.”
Gu Yi didn’t have the ears to listen and reminded, “It’s time to remove auntie’s needle.”
“Just in time, I’ll tell Mrs. Song the good news.”
Dr. Yao turned and walked out again with quick steps, to tell Xu the good news when he finished pulling out her needles in that room.
Hearing that her daughter could not only learn martial arts for her own use, but also learn the art of medicine from Dr. Yao, Xu was overjoyed, “Don’t worry, I’ll go home and have my family prepare for the ceremony tomorrow.”
“No need.”
Gu Yi and Song Wan Yue walked in, too.
“The little girl will pay her respects at my house tomorrow, I’ll prepare everything.”
“This ……”
Xu looked at Song Wan Yue, worshipping a teacher was a big event, there was quite a lot of preparation that needed to be done, how could it be held at Gu’s house?
Song Wan Yue walked over and sat down next to her, “Just listen to him, it’s better that I don’t publicize this matter of me learning the art of medicine, lest people in the village come to me with a headache in the future, there are so many things at home, I don’t want to deal with them.”
……
When Xu returned home, the Song family was both happy and worried, happy because Song Wan Yue could learn martial arts and medicine at the same time; worried because, no matter which one she learned, it would be very hard, and whether Song Wan Yue’s body could withstand it, after all, she had not suffered much since she was a child.
“Don’t worry, I will be able to.”
Song Wangyue patted her small chest and said with great bravado.
The family was instantly amused by her, and the worry in their hearts dispersed.
Grandma Song said, “Paying respect to the teacher is an important matter, so tomorrow we will all go, and you two should not go out of your stalls, so that we can send Si’er to the school after she has paid respect to the teacher.”
“As Mother says.”
“Also, boss, go to Zhang Butcher’s house in the next village and ask him to leave us half a fan of pork, tell him to make it clean, it doesn’t matter if it costs more.”
“I’ll go right away.”
“Everyone take out your new clothes, let’s all wear them tomorrow.”
The family all happily responded.
Song Shen looked at this and that, and weakly spoke up to ask, “Grandma, can I go?”
“Of course, it’s a good thing for our whole family, so naturally the whole family must go.”
“Great!”
Song Shen couldn’t help but jump up and cheer. It was good to be in charge of the workshop, but it also tied him up.
“What a sight.”
Song Si scolded with a frown.
Song Shen’s feet went weak in fear and he almost fell when he landed on the ground, he wasn’t afraid of his parents, he wasn’t afraid of his grandparents, he was afraid of his big brother.
“Didn’t I tell you to learn to be calm, you’re always so giddy, what will you do when you talk business with people in the future?”
“I was wrong.”
Song Shen scrambled to admit his mistake, “I will definitely change in the future.”
“Go back inside and write the words I just taught you ten times, no dinner until you finish them.”
Song Shen wailed, there were not even three quarters of an hour left before dinner, and he could not write them ten times in such a short amount of time.
“Add ten more times.”
Song Shen did not dare to wail anymore and went back to the house like a frosted aubergine.
“Si’er, you shouldn’t be too harsh on him either.”
Liu Cui Lan’s heart ached as she watched, Song Si had been smart since he was young and the family’s attention was all on him, Song Shen was also a boy and naughty, the family chided him the most on a daily basis.
“If he doesn’t learn those words, he won’t be able to understand the terms and conditions when he signs a contract with someone in the future, and if he is cheated, he will lose our house, not to mention the workshop.”
Liu Cui Lan was terrified, “This, this serious?”
“What does Mother think?”
“It’s time for him to practise his calligraphy properly, so, you wait, ah, write down the words he needs to know and give them to your eldest aunt, so that your eldest aunt can teach him daily, if he dares not learn properly, let your father beat him up severely.”
Song Wan Yue silently sympathised with Song Shen for three seconds, the poor boy, I’m afraid he won’t have a good life in the future.
“Yue’er, go to your house, big brother has something to say to you.”
Song Wan Yue instantly put away her sympathy for Song Shen, “Yes, yes.”
Song Si gave her a strange look and took the lead towards her house, Song Wan Yue followed closely behind him, after entering the house, Song Si sat down on the only stool in the house, Song Wan Yue sat honestly on the edge of the bed, waiting to be lectured, but she heard Song Si say, “Big brother gives you a covenant.”
It wasn’t a lecture, Song Wan Yue felt she had escaped, “Big brother, please speak.”
“First, you must learn martial arts according to your ability and not let yourself get hurt.”
Song Wangyue nodded, “I understand.”
“Secondly, you should try not to spread the news about you learning the art of medicine, so as not to bring you any more trouble like last time.”
“I know.”
“Third, and the most important one, no matter how late you learn, you are not allowed to stay overnight at Gu’s house, you must come home.”
