Chapter 301 Disciple

Li San Niang was greatly shocked!

However, amidst her surprise and joy, she knew that in the vast Tang Dynasty, with its millions of people, how could there not be ambitious women?

When Li's mother became a widow, she still had the strength to bring her infant son, Li Da Xiong, to Chang'an. Even after marrying Li's father, she did not intend to rely solely on him for food and drink; instead, she learned to be a midwife.

If there is a woman like Li's mother with such a tenacious will, then there are hundreds, thousands, even millions of women like her.

Lily of the valley, isn't she just like that?

"good!"

Upon hearing Li San Niang's answer, Ling Lan's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Li San Niang.

"You agreed just like that? That's it? I can learn to be a female doctor now?"

That's what Suzuran thought in her mind. After all, there's practically no one who would teach their best skills to an outsider.

In fact, when Li San Niang first came to Shi Hua Lou to treat the women, Ling Lan exclaimed, "So, women can be this capable."

Later, as she grew older and had no desire to redeem herself and marry, and after learning from Qi Zhidie that Shihualou had become a stronghold of the Bad People, she was even less willing to just be a prostitute and live out her life in such a muddle.

It wasn't until Qi Zhidie asked her to help take care of Jiu Niang, who was pregnant, that Linglan had more contact with Li San Niang. As a result, Linglan respected Li San Niang, who helped her with her illness, even more.

A while ago, Li San Niang's midwifery school was all the rage in Chang'an. Although the people in Pingkang Ward didn't pay much attention to it, they still heard some news about it.

After hearing the news, Lily of the Valley already had some ideas in mind, and like chives that grow a bunch overnight after being watered, it grew like crazy.

Since Li San Niangzi can teach midwives her birthing techniques for free, if I ask her for help, would I also have a chance?

The idea of ​​becoming a female doctor, like Li San Niang, to treat women, came back to Ling Lan's mind tonight when Li San Niang went to treat Jiu Niang.

So tonight, Linglan mustered up her courage, knocked on the door, and told Li San Niang about her idea.

To everyone's surprise, Li San Niang agreed without even refutation or hesitation!

Li San Niang could see Ling Lan's disbelief. She reached out and grabbed Ling Lan's shoulder, looked into her eyes, and said, word by word, "I said yes, I agree. I'm willing to take you as my apprentice, Ling Lan, and make you a female doctor!"

"ah!"

Linglan was stunned by this surprise and looked at Li Sanniang in a daze, asking, "That's it? I can become an apprentice now? I can be a female doctor in the future?"

Li San Niang couldn't help but chuckle, turned around, picked up the teapot, poured a cup for Ling Lan, and handed it to her: "Alright, you're more surprised than happy, quickly drink a cup of tea to calm down."

Linglan held the still-warm teacup in disbelief.

"I am just one person. Even if I work all year round without rest, how many people can I save?"

My original intention in founding the Women's Support Association was to help millions of women.

It is a midwife training school, because midwives are extremely important to women.

That's why I didn't care about lineage or tuition fees, and that's why I came up with the whole thing about midwife exams.

I recently took on a disciple, who is only thirteen years old. I am determined to train her to become a capable female physician.

"Now that you are so interested in learning medicine, I will accept you as my disciple."

"Third Sister, I..."

"Let me finish. Although I don't discriminate against your identity, you did spend time in Pingkangfang. I don't mind, but others will."

However, if you say that you are only helping these women with their medical treatments in Pingkang Ward, that would also be a solution.

"As long as you are willing to learn, I will definitely teach you."

After talking for a while, Linglan implied that she wanted to formally become a disciple, offer tea, and give a tuition fee.

"Third Sister, I've managed to save up some money over the past ten years. Please don't mind that it's dirty."

"What are you saying? If I were short of money, that would be one thing, but I'm not really short of money."

Being a woman is not easy, so you should keep your money; there's no need for this.

"If you are truly eager to learn and become a respectable female doctor in the future, that would be the best way to repay me."

Hearing this, Linglan finally couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.

As Li San Niang comforted Ling Lan, she thought to herself, "Even when this beautiful woman cries, she looks so beautiful."

...

When Li San Niang woke up the next day, there was a rather large food box on the table.

"Third Sister, this was brought by Linglan this morning. She said she bought mutton soup noodles on the street. They should still be warm. Please eat them quickly."

After Li San Niang finished packing, she opened the food box, which contained three bowls of soup noodles and some fried dough twists.

"Thank you, Linglan. There are three portions. We ordered nineteen to eat together."

After breakfast, Li San Niang was escorted to the back door by Qi Zhi Die. Standing at the door, Qi Zhi Die cautiously asked, "Ling Lan said you plan to take her as your apprentice?"

"Well, since she is eager to learn and wants to become a female doctor who specializes in treating women in Pingkangfang, why can't I take her in?"

Qi Zhidie fell silent.

"Alright, we'll talk about this next time."

If anything happens to Jiu Niang, send me a message.

Before Qi Zhidie could speak, Li Sanniang got into the carriage, and Shijiu cracked the whip, and the horses started moving.

At the same time and place, Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang got out of the car when they arrived at the entrance of the Third Pharmacy.

"Hey, Dr. Tang is here on time again today."

"Haha, Dr. Li, it's exactly the same."

Li San Niang greeted Tang Mingyue, entered the clinic, and began to chat.

"Third Sister, my wife has asked me several times about sending you an invitation to our home."

"Haha, I'm sorry to have troubled Sister Chen (Chen Yanfu, Tang Mingyue's wife). When I have time during my next ten-day break, I will definitely bring my daughter Zhu'er to visit me."

While the two were chatting, Doctor Li, Doctor Cui, and Manager Gao arrived. After they greeted each other, the clinic officially opened for business.

A moment later, a young woman dressed in light green entered. Her attire clearly indicated that she was a servant of some household.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the woman came to ask Li San Niang to go out for a medical consultation.

"Female doctor, are you alright?"

My wife has arranged for a female doctor to come to our home for a consultation; my aunt, Lüyi, came last time.

When the woman mentioned the name Lüyi, Li Sanniang immediately remembered her. "Isn't this the woman who had syphilis?"

Last time, Li San Niang instructed that after Lü Yi returned home, she should tell everyone related to her that this illness needed to be treated, even those without symptoms, otherwise it could lead to a major disaster in the future.
