Doctor Fang looked at Shen Huaixu with eyes that became brighter and brighter. "Little Doctor Shen, I have an unwelcome request."

Shen Huaixu felt that Doctor Fang seemed a little excited, "Doctor Fang, please speak."

"I have a granddaughter named Fang Cangli, who is nine years old this year. She can read and has learned a lot about medicinal herbs from me. I want her to become your disciple. What do you think, Doctor Shen?"

"What does Doctor Fang want your granddaughter to learn from me?"

"No matter what, as long as Doctor Shen is willing to teach me." Doctor Fang said with a smile, "I didn't want Cangli to study medicine before, but she kept pestering me, saying that people are divided into men and women, so why can't doctors be both men and women? I couldn't convince her, so I just let her go. I'm relieved to have you teach her."

Shen Huaixu and Jiang Wei also thought it made sense. "As long as Miss Cangli and her parents agree, I have no objection."

Doctor Yue looked at the two of them and said a few words, then Doctor Fang handed his granddaughter to Shen Huaixu. He thought about his granddaughter who had no interest in studying medicine and felt deeply regretful.

Shen Huaixu is not like other doctors who always hide what they know. As long as you ask, she can answer, but there are some things that cannot be fully explored.

This night, Shen Huaixu and Jiang Wei will stay at Qiao's house and go home tomorrow.

After seeing off the two old doctors, she went to visit Qiao Baozhu.

Qiao Baozhu was carefully pinching the child's face beside her pillow, with surprise and satisfaction in her eyes.

While talking to Qiao Baozhu, Shen Huaixu reached out his hand to Qiao Baozhu's abdomen and pressed it down.

Qiao Baozhu's mind went blank for a moment, and her cheeks, which had just regained some color, turned pale in an instant, and she screamed.

Xue Wulang, who had just walked to the door and wanted to see his wife, was so scared that his hands trembled and he almost dropped the chicken soup he was holding.

"What's going on?"

He asked hurriedly standing at the door.

Jiang Wei walked around the screen and said, "Doctor Shen is inside. Give me the soup."

Xue Wulang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Doctor Shen was inside.

At this time, painful cries were heard from the room again. Xue Wulang didn't know whether to leave or not. Jiang Wei took the soup and walked into the inner room without paying attention to him.

"Young doctor... you can press it, let Mother Zhang press it for me, okay? She also understands..." Qiao Baozhu negotiated while enduring the pain. She finally realized that this young doctor did not hold back any strength in his hands.

Shen Huaixu had already gathered a lot of strength. Seeing that Qiao Baozhu seemed unable to bear it, he nodded and said, "You have to press it every day. It can help the lochia to be discharged as soon as possible. You have to press it even if it hurts."

Qiao Baozhu nodded repeatedly with a look of grievance on her round face.

Shen Huaixu then said to Zhang's mother: "She had a caesarean section, which is different from a normal birth. If you are soft-hearted, you will hurt her. You can't save energy."

Mother Zhang: ······

Qiao Baozhu thought she had escaped:...

"Yes, Lady, I will save you some trouble."

Shen Huaixu and Jiang Wei took care of Qiao Baozhu for a whole night. Qiao Baozhu felt that life was hopeless - she had to have her abdomen pressed, was very hungry but could not eat, and had to get up and walk with a freshly cut wound on her...

It was not until the next day that Shen Huaixu and Jiang Wei returned to the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion.

At this time, the news that the little girl of the Qiao family had given birth to a girl had spread. As for why it spread so quickly, it was naturally because she gave birth to the child by caesarean section, and not only was she alive, it took less than a cup of tea from the time she entered the delivery room to the birth of the child.

Others said that Qiao Baozhu gave birth to the child after a nap.

How could such a good thing happen? Doesn't everyone take an hour or several hours to give birth?

If Qiao Baozhu heard these rumors, she would probably be so angry that she would jump off the couch and run away, but no matter what, Shen Huaixu was furious again.

What followed were various explanations and popular science articles. Shen Huaixu was deeply afraid that some people would be so desperate that they would resort to caesarean sections with just a pair of scissors.

This time, the emperor even wanted to let her join the Imperial Hospital, but Shen Su declined on behalf of Shen Huaixu.

Shen Huaixu knew very well that after entering the Imperial Hospital, she would not be as free as she is now. Even if her father did not refuse, she would have refused.

On the other hand, exhausted both physically and mentally from popular science, she believes that spreading new knowledge is urgent.

She accepted Fang Cangli as her second apprentice, the first one was Jiang Fu.

Fang Cangli is a very clever little girl. She has a small mole on the bridge of her nose, which makes her look playful.

Rumors about Shen Huaixu have been rife in the capital these days. She has also heard a lot about Shen Huaixu and admires the Lady Mingyi very much. She also knows that Shen Huaixu is only ten years old, but when she actually saw him in person, she realized that the master she was about to worship was even younger than herself.

However, she knelt down towards Shen Huaixu without hesitation and prepared to pay her respects to him. Just as she knelt down, she was stopped by Shen Huaixu. "Don't worry, get up first. I have a question for you."

Fang Cangli stood up swiftly and asked, "Please ask, County Lady."

"As a woman, you will marry and have children in the future. If your husband's family uses the excuse that women shouldn't be seen in public and doesn't allow you to practice medicine, what will you do?"

Doctor Fang, who was watching from the side, also frowned and began to think.

Fang Cangli wrinkled his nose and said without thinking, "Wouldn't it be better to find a husband who would let me practice medicine?"

Doctor Fang: ······

I'm afraid it will be difficult for his granddaughter to get married in the future.

Shen Huaixu smiled, "I like your answer. I hope you can keep your original intention and keep going."

Hearing this, Fang Cangli looked at the person in front of her who was younger than herself and felt a little strange. She nodded vigorously and said, "I will."

After completing the apprenticeship ceremony, Fang Cangli became Shen Huaixu's assistant at Jishidiang, where he was busy recording medicinal materials, prescriptions, and running errands every day.
