Chapter 56: In Cao's Camp, but Heart in Han◇
Cheng Ziyu came to Tongji Medical Clinic this time because of Zhou Yu's alcohol. A few days ago, Doctor Shi asked someone to send him a few bottles of alcohol and a letter, and the letter explained the uses and efficacy of the alcohol. He tried it several times and found that it was indeed useful, so he hurried to the door and wanted to purchase more of this alcohol for the army.
But he never expected that this alcohol was actually developed by his niece, the ten-year-old girl in front of him?!
He couldn't help but ask his nephew about his views on medicine. As a result, his eyes lit up more and more as he talked, and his gaze on Zhou Yu became more and more intense...
This girl is such a gem! He's never even thought of so many insights into the disease! No wonder she can make alcohol at such a young age!
In addition, Zhou Ruifeng boasted to Cheng Ziyu about the first aid method Zhou Yu used to save people today, and Cheng Ziyu's eyes lit up even more when he looked at Zhou Yu...
"Haha, Junior Brother, how does my disciple compare to you back then? You didn't expect that there would be a medical genius like you in this world, right?! My disciple is not even twelve years old this year, even younger than you were when you became my disciple, haha..."
Zhou Ruifeng, after his junior apprentice asked his apprentice many questions about medical techniques, couldn't help but feel elated after his apprentice answered them all...
Zhou Yu... you old man, that's enough! Can you stop bragging about her all the time?
She was still counting on this junior uncle to help her sell alcohol, but she couldn't let her master be offended!
"Hey, Junior Master, don't listen to my master's nonsense. How can I compare to you? Even the method for making alcohol is based on reference books. I'm just practicing it to help patients suffer less from the infection.
"It's just that the method of making alcohol is quite complicated. I can't make much on my own. It's such a pity! Alas!"
Zhou Yu acted like he was doing it for the country and the people and brought the topic back to alcohol. He thought to himself, he should talk to her about the alcohol deal as soon as possible and stop listening to his master's nonsense!
However, she didn't expect that her new uncle was much more straightforward than she imagined. After hearing her humble words, he actually nodded and said seriously:
"In terms of medical research and the use of medicinal herbs, you are indeed much worse than I was back then. But you don't need to be discouraged. This may be because you don't have a lot of medical books to consult, nor have you seen many patients, so you have too little experience. In addition, Fifth Brother's medical skills are mediocre, which is why you have been delayed!
It was only after traveling thousands of miles that I realized I had a wealth of knowledge in pharmacology and pathology, but lacked practical experience. Sometimes, I couldn't even treat certain illnesses as well as the traveling doctors who roamed the streets. That's why I started collecting medical books and reviewing a large number of case histories, allowing me to accumulate more experience in a short period of time. But even so, I still need to continue learning and improving myself..."
Zhou Yu...
She felt that her junior uncle was honest and honest, and his emotional intelligence was low. No matter what, he couldn't say that her master's medical skills were mediocre in front of her master, right?
Is this how God treats all geniuses? When he opens a window for them, he inevitably closes a door?
Zhou Yu couldn't help but glance at his master's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot. He immediately lowered his head and thought to himself: This is none of her business. If you two brothers start fighting later, don't let her get involved!
Unexpectedly, her junior uncle didn't realize what he said was wrong. When he saw her lower her head, he looked at her master beside him with dissatisfaction, and then continued to say to her:
"You don't have to be afraid of your master. What I said is all true. Your master's medical skills are sufficient for treating common illnesses, but they are no longer effective for those difficult and complicated illnesses. Moreover, he is already old now. No matter how hard he tries, his medical skills will not improve much.
But you, at such a young age, are quite intelligent and look a lot like me back then. If you continue to learn from your master, you will be overshadowed by him!
In my opinion, you should just learn from me in the future. Although I am serving in the military camp now, I only have one day off every ten days, which is enough time to teach you!
I also have a lot of medical books and notes I've collected. You can look after them while I'm away. I've rented a small courtyard not far from the military camp to store my books and herbs. I can give you the key. I don't live there, I've hired an elderly couple to look after it. You can stay there while you study medicine with me. If you have any questions, you can write them down. I'll explain them to you when I'm back on leave."
Cheng Ziyu smiled, saying, "You'll just follow me from now on." He took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Yu...
Zhou Yu...
Isn't this person too self-righteous? If she agrees, then give her the key?! She? Does she dare to agree to it?
How dare she take the key from him? Not only did she not take it, she also shook off his hand that was stretched out to take the key, and turned to her master and assured him:
"Master, I don't want to recognize him as my master. In my heart, you are my only mentor!"
Even though her master was patriarchal, he had always taught her and protected her sincerely, and was proud of her as his disciple. He couldn't ask her to betray him just to learn better medical skills!
…
Zhou Ruifeng was really pissed off by his junior brother just now. Not only did his junior brother comment on his mediocre medical skills in front of his apprentice, but he also admitted that his talent in medicine was not as good as his junior brother's. However, he finally accepted a good apprentice, and his junior brother's words and deeds seemed to be trying to steal his girl away. What did he mean?
Fortunately, although his disciple was usually annoying, he still stood on his side at the critical moment. No matter how his junior brother seduced him, he remained unmoved. Only then did he feel a little less angry!
Seeing his disciple asking for help, he took two steps forward and pulled him aside. He was about to teach his disciple a lesson when he was interrupted by his disciple, who said to him righteously:
"Fifth Senior Brother, Master has always told us that the most taboo in medicine is to cling to one's own limitations. Look at you now. You clearly don't have the ability to teach this girl anymore, so why are you still holding her captive? You must know that by doing this you're ruining her future and even the lives of those patients she could save in the future!!!"
Zhou Ruifeng...
Alright! You're not done mocking your senior brother yet, are you?!
He thought to himself, he is already in his sixties. If his junior fellow apprentice taught him a lesson in front of his apprentice, he would just throw his old face on the ground. What a little bastard! I haven't taught you a lesson for a few years, and you have forgotten your status, right?
Zhou Ruifeng became angrier the more he thought about it, so he picked up the broom next to the door and hit Cheng Ziyu with it...
Beating and scolding,
"Don't think that just because you sound so righteous, I don't know what you're thinking. Don't you think that you were raised by me? How could I not know what you're thinking?!
If you want to steal my apprentice, just say so. Why do you keep belittling me, your senior brother? How can you behave like a junior apprentice? I'll beat you to death for not knowing how to respect your teacher and elders!
…………
Zhu Xi on the side...
Good fight, he has long disliked this guy who has been fooling the black girl!
Zhou Yu on the side...???
So, this guy's reckless and offensive words weren't just a sign of low EQ, but were intentional?! Was his goal to snatch her away to be his apprentice?
No way?!
How could such a person who was so ethereal and gentle like Chen Jing be such a person?!
Zhou Yu was a little bit unconvinced...
But immediately under Zhou Ruifeng's aggressive attack, Cheng Ziyu directly admitted that he was indeed that kind of person!
He just said that because he was jealous of his senior brother for having such a good disciple and wanted to have him for himself!
"Tsk tsk!! Black girl, that's why I say that you really can't judge a person by their appearance alone. Just by looking at their appearance, who could tell that your junior uncle is actually a hypocritical jerk who only wants to steal the girl from his fellow senior?! Hehe, don't believe what he says from now on!"
Zhu Xi gloated over Cheng Ziyu being beaten, and took the opportunity to tell Hei Yatou that Cheng Ziyu was not a good person, and even betrayed his senior brother, so she should stay away from him in the future...
result……
After beating Cheng Ziyu, the old man Zhou Ruifeng did not break up with him or drive him away as Zhu Xi wished. Instead, he took the key to his house for Hei Yatou and put it in her hand. He also said to her:
"Although your Junior Master's uncle is wrong to want to take you as his apprentice, he is also right. As a teacher, I really don't have much to teach you about medicine. Your Junior Master's medical skills are a hundred times better than mine. From now on, you should learn from him!"
"Master, I..."
Zhou Yu was a bit confused by her master's sudden action. Was her master asking her to switch to her junior uncle as her master? How could that be possible?!
"Oh, are you stupid? I only want you to learn from him, not to worship him as my master. Even if you learn all his medical skills, you are still my apprentice. He will always be your uncle!"
Seeing Zhou Yu's bewildered look, Zhou Ruifeng patted her head in disgust and reminded her in a low voice.
"Yes! Master, I can be in Cao's camp but my heart is with Han!" Zhou Yu finally understood her master's intention and said excitedly.
Cheng Ziyu...can you two speak louder?!
………
After a while, Zhou Ruifeng and Cheng Ziyu finally agreed on Zhou Yu's teaching plan, and then they finally talked about alcohol.
Because he felt that Zhou Yu was also one of his own, Cheng Ziyu said directly about alcohol,
"I came here this time to buy the alcohol that Ayu made, but I just heard Ayu say that the amount of alcohol she made is not much. If we want to supply the amount needed by the army, we must open a workshop, recruit a large number of workers and teach them how to make it.
But Ayu will have to study medicine with me in the future, so how will she have time to take care of all this? So, if it were up to me, I would contact a merchant who supplies military medicine, and Ayu could sell the alcohol recipe directly to them. This way, she could make some money and avoid getting stuck in it, which would mean she would lose time to study medicine.
He had just agreed with Zhou Ruifeng that after the New Year, every time he had a day off, Zhou Yu would go to the courtyard he rented to study medicine with him for a day. On weekdays, he would assign her homework and let her study at home, and then check her homework when he was on day off.
Because the courtyard where Cheng Ziyu rented was quite far from Taohua Village, Cheng Ziyu gave the carriage allocated to him by the army to Zhou Yu, and his coachman was responsible for picking her up and dropping her off from then on. He also reserved a room for Zhou Yu and his senior brother in the small courtyard he rented, in case Zhou Yu stayed overnight in bad weather.
Of course, this is all a story for later. At this moment, Zhou Yu has decided to follow her junior uncle's advice and sell the prescription directly. After all, she is not keen on setting up a workshop to make money. She really wants to focus more on researching medical skills...
The author has something to say:
Junior Master is online! Caicai suddenly realized that she seems to be particularly bad at describing the appearance of characters, so the image of all characters depends entirely on everyone's imagination! Hahahaha...
Still asking for collection! Please comment! Please give me flowers!
