So, a few days later, Xu Jiang pretended not to see or understand Wu Zhi's hints.
The medicine Wu Zhi prescribed for her became more and more bitter, so bitter that even when she looked at Lou Yunchun's increasingly rosy face, she remained pure in mind and could not have any distracting thoughts.
Finally, when Wu Zhi personally brought her a bowl of medicine that tasted bitter just by smelling, Xu Jiang compromised.
"This medicine is a little hot, drink it later. Doctor Wu, you are tired too, please sit down and rest for a while."
Wu Zhi snorted in his heart, he's not pretending anymore?
After Wu Zhi sat down, Xu Jiang cleared his throat and said in a distressed tone, "Doctor Wu said last time that if we want to set off for the capital, we must find a doctor with excellent medical skills to accompany us. But we are in Fuzhou, we are unfamiliar with the place, and it is difficult to find a suitable candidate right now."
Seeing Wu Zhi's brow furrowed slightly, Xu Jiang hurriedly continued, "Over the past few days, Zhaoyue and I have witnessed the remarkable medical skills of Doctor Wu. Mr. Du has often praised Doctor Wu's skills in front of us, saying that no one in Fuzhou can match him. Furthermore, you have been treating Zhaoyue and me, and you understand our conditions well. So, after much deliberation, we all agree that you are the most suitable person to accompany us to the capital."
Xu Jiang observed her expression and asked, "Doctor Wu, what do you think?"
These words made Wu Zhi feel relaxed and at ease. He couldn't help but think that this person was really gifted with a clever tongue and was good at guessing people's minds and how to tickle their buttons.
It's a pity that if she had such eloquence and such cleverness, she wouldn't have gotten the reputation of being mean.
But no matter how comfortable it was, I still had to make the request. "I can go to the capital with you, but I have one condition."
It is true.
Xu Jiang laughed and said, "Don't mention one condition. As long as it's reasonable, even if it's ten conditions, we deserve it."
What a "reasonable" thing! This guy looks stupid when he's with Mr. Lou, but he's actually quite smart.
If the conditions you propose are not "reasonable", then it is useless to propose them.
Wu Zhi was too lazy to beat around the bush with her, "I want a letter of recommendation."
This was beyond Xu Jiang's expectations. "Letter of recommendation?" Then he asked, "Who to recommend? To whom? Where?"
"Go find Lord Du and recommend him to the Beijing Medical Bureau."
"Medical Department?" Xu Jiang was even more surprised. After thinking for a moment, he said with embarrassment, "But the Medical Department doesn't accept women as medical officers. This..."
"That was in the past," Wu Zhi said proudly. "Now that God has sent me into this world, it's only right that I set this precedent."
This is outrageous.
Xu Jiang was shocked by her, her blood ignited by her, and then she took a deep breath and praised: "What a great ambition! This is what a daughter should do."
Wu Zhi looked at her in surprise. When others heard her say this, they all laughed at her for being wishful thinking. They never thought that one day they would receive such affirmation.
Xu Jiang asked, "If you had gone directly to Mr. Du to ask for help, he would have agreed. Why did you come to me?"
Wu Zhi crossed his arms and said, "There's a huge difference between asking for something and negotiating for something."
Oh, she understood. Doctor Wu was a man of strong character. Even when asking for help, he would do so while standing.
What a proud character.
Xu Jiang admired her even more and raised his hand in front of her, "Deal!"
Wu Zhi curled his lips, high-fived her, and said, "Deal."
After high-fiving, Wu Zhi raised his chin towards the medicine on the table and said, "The medicine is cold. Drink it."
Xu Jiang's face fell. "Didn't I promise you? Why are you still drinking?"
"Good medicine tastes bitter." Wu Zhi said calmly, "If you don't drink it, tomorrow will be even more bitter."
The two confronted each other for a while, and Xu Jiang was defeated, so she took the medicine and drank it with hatred.
