Chapter 411 Two Major Forces
Chen Shizhu looked at Shen Yueyao very nervously, rubbing his hands gently, fearing that the woman in front of him would not let him become her disciple.
He thought she was amazing. Not only did she save him, but her medical skills were also so amazing. He just wanted to become her apprentice and learn from her.
Maybe he doesn't know where to go now, and he has no one he can trust.
The people he knew were all from the Chen family, and they all acted according to his grandfather's wishes. Now they all stood on the side of his second uncle.
But he also sincerely wanted to learn skills from a master. He wanted to become a good doctor and save more people.
Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment.
Seems a little surprised.
"You said you would take me as your master?"
Chen Shizhu nodded seriously, his eyes burning brightly, "Can... can I?"
"I... I know that my current medical skills are still average, but I will definitely study hard. I will also listen to my master and do my job seriously."
As he spoke, Chen Shizhu's eyes turned red.
Ever since his parents passed away, Chen Shizhu has seen the fickleness of human nature. During this period, he has suffered a lot of grievances and been beaten many times.
That day he was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall and had a fever, but no one cared. He had to make medicine for himself and drink it.
He didn't know why, but when he looked at the woman in front of him, he felt an indescribable sense of trust in his heart.
Perhaps it was because she protected him that day and argued with her second uncle to protect him.
Or maybe it was the way she looked when she saved people that made him feel like she was full of light.
Moreover, he thought he was very strong, but for some reason, in front of the girl, all the grievances in his heart came out.
There is a feeling of being able to reveal one’s true feelings when seeing a loved one.
Shen Yueyao looked at the scene in front of her with slightly red eyes, feeling aggrieved, but she held it in and didn't show it.
Shen Yueyao sighed in her heart, this person is still a boy.
This man looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, while Su Xueyi was already nineteen years old.
But perhaps Su Xueyi has experienced a lot since childhood, and her mind is steady and mature, so her age cannot be seen.
But the person in front of me looks like a grown man.
Or maybe it was because he spent all day studying medicine, and was protected by his father in the past, so he had not experienced much and had a simple and sincere heart.
Shen Yueyao said, “You don’t know me well, how can you trust me so much and take me as your master?”
"I don't know either. I just think you're very good and I trust you. If it weren't for you, I might be dead too."
He might have been killed by his second uncle.
And the old lady was also saved by the girl in front of him.
There were so many people watching at the time, but no one spoke up to help him except her!
So he just believed her.
The look in Chen Shizhu's eyes when he looked at Shen Yueyao was full of trust, and if you look closely, there is also a little bit of dependence.
"But...okay, I won't cause you any trouble."
Shen Yueyao said: "If you want to learn something from me, that's fine."
"Since you've left the Chen family, you can live at the manor first. The house there is very large, and you'll have peace and quiet there. I'll go there sometimes to teach you. It's all basic theoretical knowledge, which you won't need to learn much. I'll teach you some medical skills individually."
"You usually help me look after the students in that class..."
Shen Yueyao briefly talked about her own village and the students in her class.
Chen Shizhu listened to this and became more determined in his inner thoughts.
She looked at Shen Yueyao happily, as if she didn't expect that she really agreed.
Chen Shizhu quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Yueyao, saying, "Greetings, Master!"
As if afraid that Shen Yueyao would go back on her word, she called her master first.
Shen Yueyao originally wanted Chen Shizhu to call her teacher like the other students, and she would take time out to teach.
She accepts the ideas of the technological age and does not care about the title of master and apprentice.
But it was different for Chen Shizhu. He felt that with a master, he seemed to have a sense of stability and even security in his heart.
There are places to go too.
Chen Shizhu's eyes became even redder with excitement.
Shen Yueyao looked at his fragile appearance at this moment and sighed.
If calling them master and apprentice can make him feel more at ease, then let them be master and apprentice.
"Get up first."
"This book is one I wrote myself. It also contains diagrams of human blood vessels and organs. Please take note of it."
"When you've mastered it, I'll teach you something else."
After Shen Yueyao's space was upgraded, several Chinese medicine books were published in the pharmacy. They were some medical records and treatment methods. For people like Chen Shizhu who have a medical background, reading such books can benefit them the most and help them learn a lot.
And because it was in this era, the books published in the pharmacy also had the appearance and handwriting of books of this era.
Chen Shizhu could fully understand it.
Chen Shizhu was obsessed with studying medicine. When he saw the book given to him by his master, he suddenly became excited.
This is something given to him by his master, he must study it well and keep it well.
Chen Shizhu reached out and carefully took it, holding the book carefully in his hand, "Thank you, Master!"
Chen Shizhu just took a quick look and became very excited.
The medical records written above are very clear and there are pictures, so it is easy to understand at a glance and remember.
The most important picture is a diagram of the human body's organs and acupuncture points. The function of each acupuncture point is clearly written.
It also clearly states what each part of the human body is connected to and what its function is.
Just by watching, Chen Shizhu was so excited that he was speechless.
He choked up and thanked again, "Thank you, Master."
He now realized that he had found a very powerful master.
He never judged medical skills by age. His father always said that there are always people better than you, and some gifted doctors showed extraordinary abilities at a young age.
He felt that his master was like that.
Shen Yueyao looked at Chen Shizhu's excitement and said, "This is just the entry-level content. I will teach you other things later, including surgical operations."
Shen Yueyao looked at Chen Shizhu's hands and felt that these hands were also suitable for holding a scalpel.
Chen Shizhu is no stranger to surgery.
Although he had never come into contact with such a situation, he knew that there were doctors in the military camp who could perform surgery.
However, there are very few such doctors, but they can save the lives of many soldiers in the barracks at critical moments.
He once met a soldier who had retired from the barracks. The soldier came to the clinic and talked about his old injury. He said that it was thanks to the military doctor in the barracks who helped him perform surgery to protect his leg and save his life.
From that time on, he became particularly interested in surgery.
But his father doesn't know how to do it, and neither do the doctors in the clinic.
I didn't expect that he could learn from his master.
Chen Shizhu held the book in his hands carefully, and was even careful when turning the pages.
Shen Yueyao watched his movements and said, "Don't be so careful, just flip through it casually. The key is to learn it. I still have books here, so you don't have to worry."
Chen Shizhu vaguely felt that he seemed to have a very powerful master.
Now that she had accepted an apprentice, Shen Yueyao stopped wandering the streets for the time being.
She first took her apprentice back to her residence.
However, Su Xueyi was not at home, so it was inconvenient for Shen Yueyao to let anyone live in the house, even in the residential hospital.
Chen Yueyao called the gatekeeper Lu Song and said, "Drive the carriage and take him to the manor to live first. Let him live in Jingye Manor."
Among the several farms near Beijing that Shen Yueyao bought, Jingye Farm is the largest one. She usually teaches everyone in the farm near Jingye.
The house over there is also big and convenient for living.
There is also a study room, which is fully equipped with pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
So it is convenient to arrange for apprentices to live there.
There is also a kitchen in the house with ingredients, so cooking is convenient.
I had originally placed some ingredients in the kitchen because Shen Yueyao had gone there to teach before and sometimes ate there at noon, so I prepared some.
It just so happened that Chen Shizhu went there and could look after the house, where he would have accommodation and food.
Lu Song nodded and said, "Master, don't worry. I will definitely take Master Chen over and settle him down."
Lusong is very smart, and Shen Yueyao is confident in his work.
In this way, Lusong drove the carriage to take Chen Shizhu to the farm.
Along the way, Chen Shizhu talked to Lusong for a few words, which suddenly opened up Lusong's chatterbox.
"Mr. Chen is truly lucky to have our master as his disciple."
"You don't know how good and powerful our master is. We all admire him in our hearts when we work for him. He knows so many things. He has saved many people with his medical skills..."
"In the countryside, the workshop opened by the master has helped many people, and everyone is grateful to the master from the bottom of their hearts."
"If the master hadn't sent people to bring us back to the manor, we wouldn't know what would have happened to us. But following the master, we now have food and shelter, and we even get money every month."
"As long as you are loyal to your master, he will never treat you harshly."
"Our master is truly a god-like person..."
When Lusong talked about Shen Yueyao, he was truly grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Chen Shizhu listened carefully and felt grateful that he had become a disciple.
When we arrived at the village, there were more than fifty people studying in the house.
Sometimes when Shen Yueyao doesn't come, she lets them study on their own.
Everyone was learning with great enthusiasm and no one was in a hurry to go home.
They would wait until it was too dark to see clearly before going home.
I will seize the time to study when I get home.
Everyone also recognized Lusong and knew that he was the servant in the teacher's house.
"Butler Green, is he here to learn from the teacher as well?"
Lu Song said: "This is the master's apprentice. The master arranged for him to live here in the house."
When everyone heard that he was the teacher's apprentice, they all looked at Chen Shizhu with envy.
He can actually call me Master.
They can't call him Master, they can only call him Teacher.
Since he is the teacher's apprentice, everyone naturally looks at him with more respect.
I didn't dare to be negligent and told him about what happened in Zhuangzi.
But privately, everyone couldn't help but discuss: "The fact that the teacher accepted him as his apprentice means he must be very smart and knows a lot."
"Yes, that's definitely the case. The teacher doesn't accept disciples casually."
"The teacher is so great, the apprentice he accepts should also be great."
"The teacher arranged him here because he trusts us, so we have to help the teacher take good care of him."
"Yes, yes, if he needs anything, we must help..."
Everyone was whispering, but they didn't know that Chen Shizhu came out of the house and heard all the words when he passed by.
He felt a little emotional, it seemed that the master was really good in everyone's heart.
Just like Master is so good in his heart.
He became homeless, and it was his master who took him in, giving him a place to live and allowing him to continue studying medicine.
When it got dark, everyone went home.
The farmers also live in the farm, so every time they go home, it is very close and they can get there in a short walk.
Chen Shizhu carefully took out the book given to him by his master, lit a candle and began to read and study seriously.
The master said that he could use any pen, ink, paper, inkstone and candle in the study.
As long as I can learn something, that's fine.
Chen Shizhu also wanted to work hard to learn more and become useful, so as to live up to his master's teachings.
In the future, he also wants to help his master do many things.
After listening to the students in the master's class, he probably understood something.
I also know that now is the time when Master needs people.
…
The other side
Princess Anping's Mansion
The person Princess Anping had sent out knelt down and apologized after returning, saying, "Princess, please forgive me for not finding Miss Bai and Yue Nu!"
Yue Shu was called Yue Nu in the princess's mansion.
When Princess Anping heard that Bai Shiyin hadn't returned, she angrily kicked the guards, "Useless, useless! You can't even find a single person. What's the point of having you? You useless!"
Princess Anping was furious. She stepped with all her might and her eyes were gloomy.
Princess Anping gnashed her teeth in anger, her chest heaving violently with rage.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she threw everything on the table to the ground.
The sound of "crackling" filled the silent room with various sounds.
"What a moon slave! He should have been put to death!"
"How dare you take Bai Shiyin away? Bai Shiyin is so bold that he dares to go against me."
"I just don't believe it. Where could they have escaped to in just a few days? Aren't there any suspicious people at the city gate?"
The guard felt as if all his bones were broken when he was hit.
But thinking of the princess's volatile and ruthless nature, he could only endure the pain and speak: "My subordinates have investigated, and no suspicious people have entered or left."
Princess Anping snorted coldly, "That means they are still hiding in the capital. I will dig three feet underground to find them."
"Bai Shiyin has a heart condition and can't run far."
She knew very well that Bai Shiyin didn't dare to run and couldn't run far, otherwise her heart disease would flare up.
Even the imperial physician was helpless, let alone that Yue Nu.
"We must find the person back."
To Princess Anping, Bai Shiyin is not only her daughter, but also a tool for her to win over the powerful.
She wanted to win over the Duke of Wei's Mansion for Zuoqiu Chi, so that Zuoqiu Chi would have an extra bargaining chip in his hand.
The Duke of Wei's Mansion has military power and influence, and can be a great help to Zuoqiu Chi.
Princess Anping did not take the emperor sitting in that position seriously at all.
She even felt that Zuoqiu Chi should take that position, so that she could stand beside Zuoqiu Chi openly.
It has to be said that Zuoqiu Chi successfully brainwashed Princess Anping, making her love-brained and devoted to doing things for Zuoqiu Chi.
She doesn't even care about her own daughter Bai Shiyin.
"Yes, Princess!"
After the guard went down, he continued to search with others.
Before, she found an excuse that an assassin appeared in the mansion and asked Jingzhao Yin to send people to capture the assassin. She also used this incident to find Bai Shiyin and Yue Nu.
Princess Anping intended to kill Yue Nu and would not allow her to live.
Who would have thought that it has been so many days and the person is still not found.
If she had known earlier, she should have beaten that Yue Nu to death in the mansion, so that Bai Shiyin would know that she should not be disobeyed.
The reason why she allowed Bai Shiyin to bring Yue Nu back to the mansion was that she thought she was just a servant.
She also wanted to use Yue Nu to temporarily appease Bai Shiyin, so that Bai Shiyin would listen to her arrangements in everything.
Who would have thought that Yue Nu, a slave, was so brave that he dared to instigate Bai Shiyin to resist and escape.
"You bastards, damn it, damn it!"
Princess Anping's eyes were bloodshot, and she wanted to kill someone.
Princess Anping also knew that if Wei Chuan had not died at this time, Duke Wei would have arranged for someone to come and discuss the matter between Bai Shiyin and Wei Chuan.
However, even though Wei Chuan was dead, the Duke of Wei still had other illegitimate sons.
She temporarily concealed the news of Bai Shiyin's disappearance, but she didn't know how long she could keep it a secret.
The most important thing is to find Bai Shiyin as soon as possible.
…
Wei Guogong Mansion
Duke Wei and his wife arranged a mausoleum for Wei Chuan, but they delayed burying Wei Chuan.
The Duke of Wei's wife kept crying and complaining to him, "Who was responsible for this murder? Have you found the murderer?"
"You must have someone buried with Wei Chuan. You cannot forgive this man."
"This person is so cruel. There is not a single healthy spot on Wei Chuan's body. He shed so much blood. He is the most afraid of pain."
Duke Wei also had a headache.
We've arranged for people to search for such a long time, but there's not even a clue.
The wife of the Duke of Wei was shaking with hatred.
It's all a bit of gnashing of teeth.
The Duke of Wei and his companions were standing guard in the hall, not saying a word.
To the other concubines in Duke Wei's Mansion, Wei Chuan was just an irrelevant person.
Perhaps after Wei Chuan's death, the resources of Duke Wei's Mansion will be tilted towards their children.
They are just putting on an act.
"You don't care about Wei Chuan at all, you don't care if he dies."
The Duke of Wei was so upset by his wife's crying that his head was about to explode and he couldn't think at all.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Have I been working in vain these days? I have people looking for clues and the murderer every day, but they haven't found him. What can I do? This person is definitely not an ordinary master. He is no ordinary person to be able to pass through the layers of guards in our Duke of Wei's Mansion."
"Besides, our Duke of Wei's Mansion is no longer what it used to be. The Emperor is wary of us. He asks me a lot of questions when I go to court."
The Duke of Wei was also worried that the emperor would find an opportunity to take back the military power.
Duke Wei is extremely ambitious and will never hand over military power to the emperor.
"If it weren't for the golden medal of immunity from death, the emperor wouldn't dare to act rashly. We don't know what will happen now."
When Lady Wei heard this, she cried even louder, "Could it be the Emperor..."
Before the Duke of Wei's wife could finish her words, the Duke of Wei shouted, "Shut up!"
He was afraid that his wife would say something outrageous.
But to be honest, he also suspected the emperor.
Only some shadow guards in the palace have high martial arts skills, and they are not something that the secret guards of Duke Wei can defend against.
Moreover, the Jinyiwei are loyal to the emperor, and their kung fu skills should not be underestimated.
However, the emperor would not kill Wei Chuan. If he wanted to take action against the Duke of Wei's Mansion, he would target the Crown Prince.
Duke Wei paced back and forth with a very bad look on his face.
Wei Sen, the son of the Duke of Wei, said, "Father, perhaps we can check who my second brother has offended recently. According to my investigation, the whereabouts of the two assassins around my second brother are unknown. I think my second brother sent them to do something."
There was a cold look in Wei Sen's eyes.
Anyone who dares to touch the Duke of Wei’s Mansion, huh!
When Duke Wei heard these words, his mind suddenly became clear.
"Yes, we should check if Wei Chuan has offended anyone recently. If we know who he has offended, it will be easier for us to find out who killed him."
"The assassins we have at the Duke of Wei's Mansion are very capable. It's impossible for anyone to kill them."
The Duke of Wei's Mansion has a mysterious confidence in the death squads in its mansion.
Wei Sen said: "Those two assassins are only third-rate assassins, and cannot be compared with the first-rate assassins in our mansion. It is possible that they were killed."
Normally, a third-rate assassin shouldn't disappear so quietly. Even if he was killed, there should be some clues left behind.
But no, the two men seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
He didn't even know what his second brother sent these two people to do.
Wei Sen felt that this matter was somewhat serious, and made him realize that someone might be targeting the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
You must know that the Duke of Wei's Mansion holds military power and has a golden medal of immunity from death, which can be said to be a case of a big tree attracting wind.
But no matter what kind of danger it is, Wei Sen must solve it and kill the person.
As for whether he has brotherly feelings towards Wei Chuan, it doesn’t matter.
Wei Sen is an indifferent person and doesn't care about Wei Chuan's life or death.
"Sen'er, you are more capable, so I'll leave this matter to you."
"But if Wei Chuan dies like this, I won't be able to explain to Princess Anping. It was originally agreed that Wei Chuan would marry Bai Shiyin."
The marriage between the Duke of Wei's Mansion and the Princess Anping's Mansion will only benefit the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
Wei Sen snorted coldly, "Princess Anping wouldn't dare to do anything. Bai Shiyin doesn't even have the title of County Lord. Besides, I heard that she has a heart disease. Princess Anping actually dared to use her to form a marriage alliance with the Duke of Wei."
Wei Sen was very disdainful of Princess Anping's daughter Bai Shiyin.
Even though Wei Chuan had a bad reputation, he looked down on Bai Shiyin.
The Duke of Wei doesn't care about these things at all. What he wants is power.
Sacrificing Wei Chuan would be fine if it could be useful, but it is of no use at all.
Seeing Duke Wei frowning, Wei Sen said, "Father, there are several illegitimate brothers in the mansion. They can also be used for marriage."
"For Princess Anping, it doesn't matter who it is. What matters is the union of the two major forces."
"Besides, Princess Anping doesn't care about Bai Shiyin. Father only needs to discuss it with her and not worry about anything else."
"If Princess Anping opens her mouth too high, Father can easily bring up Bai Shiyin's heart disease as an excuse."
Wei Sen saw everything clearly.
Moreover, Wei Sen is very cunning and ruthless, and will do anything to achieve his goals.
"Yes, you are right, Sen'er."
Duke Wei felt that this was the right arrangement.
Only the wife of Duke Wei scolded him bitterly, "Wei Sen is your brother, and you are still thinking about these things at this time."
Wei Sen said coldly, "If mother wants Bai Shiyin to be buried alive with my second brother, the princess must agree."
It wasn't the first time he had seen his mother being partial.
Naturally, I don't care about these things.
Lady Wei Guogong looked at Wei Sen's cold and indifferent expression and felt as if she could be frozen by that look.
"You rebellious son, don't think I don't know that you only care about that little bitch, that little vixen."
Wei Sen said, "Mother, she is my wife, the wife of the Duke of Wei's son, and my wife. Please respect her."
"Humph, she broke off the Su family's engagement, her family background isn't even worthy of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, how could she be worthy of being the Crown Prince's wife!"
The wife of Duke Wei was filled with hatred and did not give Wei Sen any face.
