Chapter 680 A Dream of Youth 212
At this moment, Du Mingzhao also said, "It's such a remote place, so Zheng Erlang will naturally have to go there as well, so the marriage can only be called off."
Xie Ning nodded, then went to the pharmacy and asked Du Xin about it. Du Xin didn't seem sad, but her eyes were slightly red. She then said firmly, "Teacher, didn't you say that you would distribute the women's pharmaceutical workshops to various states in two years?"
I want to go to England.
After saying that, he looked at the snow falling outside and said, "He was willing to take risks for me, withstand the pressure from his elders, and not be afraid of what the world would say. I was also willing to go to Yingzhou for him... He said he would wait for me."
Even if Zheng Erlang has already married and had children by then, she will not regret it.
"But haven't the Du and Zheng families already canceled the engagement? Even if you can go to Yingzhou, without your parents' consent, the Zheng family probably won't agree to you two being together."
This is not an era where two young people can get married simply by pledging their love to each other.
"I know, but didn't the teacher say that as long as a person is strong enough, some obstacles will no longer be obstacles?"
"I am now a female official, though only a ninth-rank official. But I won't stay at that position. I will climb higher, and then even my father won't dare to oppose my decisions."
She didn't have this thought for Zheng Erlang's sake; it was just that this incident intensified her desire for power and status.
Xie Ning looked at the increasingly assertive Du Xin and nodded repeatedly, "You're right, so I happen to have a fast track to promotion here. Do you want to take it?"
Du Xin's eyes lit up, and then she saw Xie Ning get up and walk out, asking Xiu Ling to gather all the female workers at the pharmaceutical factory.
A clever little girl moved a chair for Xie Ning to sit on, then quietly stood next to Xie Ning, looking at her with bright, sparkling eyes.
Xie Ning didn't send them away. She only mentioned the matter of accompanying the army. Looking at the expressions of the people below, she knew that even though she was trying her best to make them pay more attention to themselves and slowly break free from the shackles of worldly constraints on women's purity and chastity, the effect was not significant.
She slowly lowered her eyes, pondering whether she was being too hasty.
After all, these people have only been studying for less than a year.
But sometimes opportunities are fleeting, and life is ever-changing. Her pace is not fixed; she always has to make some changes as circumstances change.
If she can achieve merit on the battlefield, she can take a big step forward on the path of becoming a female doctor.
"I'm willing to go!"
The first to speak was Du Xin, who was still in shock and excitement and hadn't reacted immediately.
She was more educated, so she understood what this meant better than most of the female workers present.
A woman's reputation should never be based on whether she is a virgin, but rather on knowing honor and shame, distinguishing right from wrong, maintaining integrity, and having pride and moral character.
If they continue to hold onto the idea that they cannot have contact with men, fearing damage to their reputation and being afraid of worldly gossip, then they will never be able to break free from this mindset.
"I'd love to go too!" The little girl standing next to Xie Ning shouted so loudly that Xie Ning's ears went numb.
Then, one by one, several other people said they were willing to join Xie Ning in the army.
Xie Ning gestured with his hand and smiled, "I'll give you another half a day to consider. If you're willing to come with me, come find me before sunset. If you're not, that's fine too. This pharmaceutical workshop needs to retain people."
Even if you all wanted to go, I wouldn't want them all.
The little girl's eyes instantly filled with sorrow. She didn't want to stay at the pharmaceutical lab; she wanted to go to war with Xie Ning! She desperately wanted to! She was incredibly strong!
Although her medical skills may not be very good, she can carry corpses!
Xie Ning slowly walked to her office, took out a blank form, and began to write. She originally just wanted to write down some ideas about military doctors and the construction of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
But after leaving the Imperial Hospital, her thoughts changed.
Xie Ning didn't take the complaints about her from the Imperial Physician to heart; she was just a little annoyed by the Imperial Physician's unequal attitude towards life.
Soldiers are just as important as doctors; their lives are precious, yet people always judge them by their perceived value.
Since the Imperial Medical Bureau allows its members to join the army, so can she.
They were unwilling, but she was.
She wanted the women of the pharmaceutical workshop to step into the public eye more quickly, and she also wanted to increase the chances of victory in the war in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Under the continuous flames of war, there were displaced people. If the flames of war were to be extinguished completely, only one side could win.
Du Xin, separated by a courtyard wall, was chatting and laughing with the other female workers. It was quite lively. She was the best doctor and very willing to answer questions, so the female workers all had a good relationship with her.
"If I were to accompany the army and work among men, would that really be a good thing?" They were afraid of the army because the only women allowed to accompany soldiers were military prostitutes...
"Anyway, we're not slaves, we're army doctors. Those soldiers wouldn't dare do anything to us!"
"Yes, and by going to the battlefield with the army, we can not only gain experience, but also serve the country. We might even earn military merit!"
"Military merit? Wouldn't we also receive rewards then?"
"Yes!" Du Xin nodded firmly. "If men can achieve great things, why can't we?"
