Chapter 695 Can the men of the Lin family have children?
"Your Majesty, do you think it is possible for our Zhiyun Tower to be opened to Mingzhou?" Nian suggested.
Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow. He had just convinced his third aunt, but he didn't expect that his third aunt actually wanted to go to Mingzhou for Ting Wu?
"Zhiyunlou is doing very well in Shengjing and Hongdu right now. Most of our fabrics are shipped from Mingzhou. I thought, if we open a Zhiyunlou, we only need to put in some effort in the early stages, and then we can hire a shopkeeper to run the shop!"
"Although we earn a lot of money now, no one would complain about having too much money, right?" Nian was not impulsive. She had had this idea for a long time. Zhiyunlou was doing good business now. If she opened a few more stores, she would definitely make money!
Jiahong is now growing up and has started going to school, so Nian has not had many opportunities to see her son.
Mingzhou, if she works harder, she can take care of both her son and daughter by using the name of doing business.
…
Xiao Mansion.
"Mom, I'm sorry. It was all my own decision." Xiao Tingwu admitted his mistake as soon as he saw Nian come back. "I accept any punishment you want, but I really want to go to Mingzhou."
When Xiao Tingwu mentioned Mingzhou, there was longing in her eyes. Even if she had to accept the punishment, Xiao Tingwu's desire to go to Mingzhou did not waver at all.
Don't let this incident become Tingwu's lifelong regret.
Seeing her daughter's anticipation, Nian heard Xiao Jiuyue's voice in her ears, and she pulled Xiao Tingwu to sit aside.
"Mom, you, please scold me. I always feel uneasy when you smile like this." Xiao Tingwu looked at Nian anxiously. She would feel better even if Nian hit her, or cried, made a fuss, or threatened to commit suicide, or scolded her.
"Silly girl." Nian chuckled and patted her hands: "Why, you won't be happy if your mother doesn't scold you a few times?"
"Hehe." Xiao Tingwu grinned. Now this was the mother she was familiar with.
"Tingwu, your sister is right. You're still young. If you want to go to Mingzhou, then go!" Nian smiled and said, "Don't leave yourself with regrets. What's wrong with getting married two years later? Even if it's two years later, my daughter Tingwu will still be a beautiful girl!"
"Nowadays, the young men of noble families in Kyoto get married later than before. It's not too late for you to get married two years later." Nian looked at Xiao Tingwu. The emperor had previously issued a decree that close relatives could not get married. Later, he advocated that people should not get married too early, and at the earliest, no earlier than the age of eighteen.
Now, Xiao Tingwu is only a little bit behind in age, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
"You go to Mingzhou and carry forward Mr. Wang's medical skills. Don't embarrass Mr. Wang!" Nian didn't tell Xiao Tingwu that she was going to Mingzhou. When the time comes, she will give Tingwu a surprise!
"Don't worry, mother. We are primarily a women's clinic. When it comes to treating women, each of us is very experienced. Moreover, we have agreed to communicate with each other and summarize our pulse cases. This is valuable experience!"
"Besides, Old Wang said that he will be stationed in every prefecture city in the future. That way, we will have nothing to fear!"
"Old Wang is going too?" Nian heard this and couldn't help but say worriedly, "Old Wang is old. Isn't it too tiring to travel around like this?"
"Mom, Mr. Wang is a truly compassionate doctor. He's very attentive to difficult and complicated cases. I think his dedication to research is something we should all learn from."
Xiao Tingwu's eyes were determined. The sixteen of them had already agreed that they were willing to continue working as female doctors in the future.
There was a dispute in the court over the female medical officer and the issue of allowing women to enroll and take the imperial examination this year.
Doctor Lin of the Censorate made a death-defying appeal against allowing female doctors to be appointed as female medical officers, and he also disagreed with women taking the imperial examinations.
"My Lady, this is bad!"
When Luo Kui brought the news, he quickly told what had just happened in the court.
"Doctor Lin, can he be saved?" Xiao Jiuyue had just coaxed the child to sleep and was about to take a look at the problems they might face when working as female medical officers in various provincial capitals and how to solve them. Then she heard Luo Kui say that there was an official in the court who had committed suicide to advise against the emperor.
"Luckily, Lord Yao held him back. He had a large gash on his forehead, but the imperial physician arrived in time and saved him!" Luo Kui hurriedly consoled him, saying, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"Do my makeup." Xiao Jiuyue thought for a moment and asked Luo Kui to do her makeup.
After an incense stick of time, Xiao Jiuyue arrived outside the court.
"Your Majesty, there has never been a case of a woman holding an official position. Shouldn't you think twice?"
"Master Lin is right. It is indeed inappropriate for a woman to serve as an official in the court."
"This woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent..."
“…”
There were many similar remarks, and the court was arguing fiercely.
"The Queen has arrived!" A voice announced, and the court suddenly became quiet.
For a moment, everyone looked at Xiao Jiuyue who was dressed in gorgeous clothes as she walked in. Xiao Jiuyue, who had given birth to four children, had an even more outstanding appearance. As the queen, she looked even more noble!
At this moment, Xiao Jiuyue walked into the court step by step. The officials in the court saluted in unison: "Long live the Queen, long live the Queen!"
"Yu'er." Jun Lie stepped down from the throne. Before he could finish his words, he saw Xiao Jiuyue politely bowing and saying, "Long live the emperor. I came here today because I heard that Doctor Lin doesn't agree with women serving in the court. It seems that female medical officers also don't agree."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at Doctor Lin who was standing by and bandaging the wound. She explained her purpose clearly and understandably.
"Doctor Lin, may I ask you a few questions?" Xiao Jiuyue was neither arrogant nor humble.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no precedent for this. Women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children and carry on the family line." Doctor Lin stroked his beard and spoke firmly.
"Doctor Lin is right. Women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and raise children, and continue the family line. However, if there are no doctors to treat women's illnesses, how can there be any continuation of the family line without women?"
Xiao Jiuyue asked sincerely, "Could it be that the men in Doctor Lin's family can have children? To carry on the family line?"
"Puff~"
There was laughter in the court. Doctor Lin's face darkened instantly. He said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. How can a man give birth to a child?"
"The Queen Mother has opened a women's clinic? Wouldn't that allow her to treat women? Why does she have to serve as an official in the court?" Doctor Lin asked in return.
"If a traveling doctor does well, he or she can enter the palace as a royal physician, open a clinic, and become a doctor. If a woman practices medicine without the protection of a medical officer title, will the people in the provincial capitals still look down on her?"
Xiao Jiuyue's voice was clear as she continued, "Giving them the status of female medical officers is simply to protect them. As for women taking the imperial examinations, is Doctor Lin afraid that the men won't be able to outperform the women?"
