Chapter 743 Are you going to take her as your apprentice?
Zhao Xi found it increasingly feasible, saying, "Sanya is still young and intelligent. If she memorizes the basic medical texts now, she will be able to treat patients directly in a few years."
"With me teaching her, I guarantee her medical skills will be far superior to those unreliable doctors. I can cure all sorts of injuries, fevers, even those who have been disemboweled, poisoned, and vomiting blood. If she masters her skills, she might even be noticed by the palace and become a female physician in the Imperial Hospital, treating the concubines and empresses, receiving an official title from the emperor, and achieving a meteoric rise in her career, wouldn't you say?"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Shu Yu quickly reached out to interrupt him, "You're getting more and more outrageous."
She even dared to enter the palace? Is that a place you can just walk into? It's like a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. One wrong move and you could become a scapegoat or cannon fodder. If she knew even a little bit of palace secrets, she'd be silenced. Did she think Sanya's life was too long?
Zhao Xi was so excited just now that he couldn't stop himself.
He realized this too and quickly said, "What I mean is that there are many benefits to Sanya studying medicine."
Shu Yu naturally agreed that Sanya should study medicine, so that she could master a skill and have nothing to fear no matter where she went.
She said to the old lady, "If Sanya really has the talent in this area, she can give it a try. Going to the palace is too dangerous, so let's not talk about it. But there are two large clinics in Dong'an Prefecture with female doctors who specialize in treating women and young ladies who are not suitable for male doctors. I don't know how much they earn, but it's a stable job."
Zhao Xi nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right."
The old lady asked him, "Then are you going to take our Sanya as your apprentice?"
apprentice??
Zhao Xi was taken aback, and subconsciously felt a little unwilling. Although Sanya was so much younger than him, she was just right to be his apprentice.
But this generational hierarchy is always a bit strange.
Zhao Xi chuckled dryly and said, "Don't rush to take on any disciples. If I were to accept one, I would definitely have to ask Master first, otherwise he would break my leg. How about this, I'll write a letter to Master and ask for his opinion. But in the meantime, I can teach Sanya medicine first."
The old lady thought about it and agreed. "I didn't consider that. Your medical skills are passed down through generations. Taking on an apprentice is such an important matter, so you should have consulted your master first. I was just worried that your school's medical skills are passed down only to men, not women."
Zhao Xi immediately sat up straight and serious. "Grandma, don't worry about that. Our sect doesn't have that rule. My great-grandmother was a highly skilled female doctor. We only consider a person's comprehension and character when accepting disciples, not their gender or age. Besides, my master is very easy to talk to. If he knew that Sanya was so talented, he might have personally accepted her as his disciple."
Hmm? If that's the case, then Sanya becoming my junior sister wouldn't be so bad.
Shu Yu suddenly glanced at him with a strange expression.
Zhao Xi felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No, but studying medicine isn't something we can just decide on our own. After all, it's Sanya's business, so we have to explain it to her and let her make her own decision."
The old lady went out of the kitchen and called towards the main room, "Third daughter, Third daughter, come over here."
The little girl came running out, "Grandma, what's wrong?"
She was accompanied by Da Hu; the two little guys stood side by side in the kitchen, looking at the group with puzzled expressions.
