Chapter 577: Studying Medicine

"Yes, Hongxia, just say whatever you want to say. We are all family. What are you afraid of? You have overcome such a difficult time." Wang Ruer thought something had happened to Chen Hongxia, and she spoke anxiously.

"I went to town today to become Fu Bao's apprentice. Tomorrow morning, I will move to my master's clinic to learn medicine from him."

Chen Hongxia took a deep breath and spoke out in one go.

"What? Study medicine? Become a disciple? Hongxia, are you crazy?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cui came out from the inner room and looked at her granddaughter with confusion.

Life at home finally got better. After saving some money, she discussed with her husband about giving her granddaughter more dowry and marrying her off to a good family.

But the granddaughter said she wanted to study medicine.

Why study medicine if you don't get married soon?

If this goes on any longer, even the widower will look down on me.

"I have made up my mind. Moreover, I have sworn to God that I will never marry in this lifetime. If I break my oath, I will die without a complete body..."

Before she could finish her words, Chen Hongxia's mouth was covered by Cui Pozi.

"Ah, bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about? Go in and have your meal. After dinner, grandma will take you to see a man tomorrow morning. You are so old, how can you not get married? If a woman does not get married in her lifetime, won't she become a nun?"

Mrs. Cui didn't understand her granddaughter's thoughts. She was only worried that after her death, her granddaughter would live alone for the rest of her life.

The family has already neglected too many granddaughters.

"Grandma, I can't regret it. I have already accepted Master's advice. Moreover, my brother was able to walk and become a normal person, all thanks to Master's treatment. I also want to be like Master, and do my best to save people, and pull those like my brother out of the abyss of illness and pain, so that they will no longer suffer from it."

There was suddenly light in Chen Hongxia's eyes.

Her tone was firm, and her voice echoed in the Chen family's yard.

"Brother supports you. If you want to, just do it. This will always be your home. You can come back whenever you want."

Chen Tianfeng broke the silence.

Wang Ruer also said: "Sister-in-law also supports you, go ahead, Fubao is a good doctor, you will definitely learn something, getting married is not that good, giving birth is so painful, you have nephews and nieces, are you worried that no one will take care of you in your old age? If they are not filial to you, I will be the first to forgive them."

Wang Ruer has long regarded her sister-in-law as her own sister.

When her husband was paralyzed in bed, her sister-in-law took care of everything in the house.

Wang Ruer saw how much she had given.

People are all made of flesh and blood.

Wang Ruer was never a heartless person, so naturally she was extremely grateful to Chen Hongxia.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, it's up to you. But Grandpa wants to tell you that you can't give up halfway. If you want to learn medicine from Fubao, then study hard and be obedient. Do whatever she asks you to do and don't lose your temper.

You have an impatient temper, you need to change your temper. If you don't like what Fubao says, you have to listen. She is doing this for your own good. With medical skills, you don't have to worry about being hungry in the future. Okay, go in and have dinner, pack your luggage after dinner, go to bed early, and leave before dawn tomorrow, don't let your master wait for you."

Old Chen put down the half-woven bamboo basket, stood up, clapped his hands, and went into the main room.

Mrs. Cui wanted to say something else.

Seeing that everyone in the family was on the granddaughter's side, he had no choice but to shut up.

It was a rare occasion when the family didn't talk while eating.

When Chen Hongxia went back to the room to pack her clothes, Mrs. Cui came in.

"Your grandfather asked me to give you this silver. It was originally intended for your dowry. Since you don't want to get married, keep it for yourself. You can't eat and drink for free in the clinic. Remember to give the silver to your master. If it's not enough, come back and ask for more. Grandpa and grandma are still in good health.

Now that your brother has recovered from his illness, the autumn harvest is coming soon. The family doesn't need this little money. Don't keep your grievances to yourself. It's not like being at home outside. You need to keep your temper steady and not lose your temper. Work hard in the clinic and don't make your master unhappy. Do you understand?"

Mrs. Cui put two taels of silver in her hand into her granddaughter's hand.

As he gave these instructions, tears began to flow from his eyes.

"Grandma, it's not like I won't come back. Master is a good person. I will come back to see you often. Besides, Master doesn't charge me for food and accommodation in the clinic. You can take this money. There is not much money left at home. You should save it for yourself.

Master specifically told me not to bring money with me. I will work hard and will never make Master angry, so don't worry."

Chen Hongxia stuffed the silver back.

The next day, before dawn, she got up early, washed up, made breakfast for her family, ate a simple breakfast herself, and left.

Not long after she left, Mrs. Cui walked out of the house. Looking at the closed door and the kitchen filled with fragrance, she wiped her tears.

When we arrived at the city gate, it was not open yet.

Chen Hongxia waited for a quarter of an hour before the officer opened the door.

She was first in line and the first to enter the city.

When we arrived at the door of the clinic, the servants who lived in the clinic were already sweeping the floor.

Her senior brother was sitting on a chair, holding a medical book and reading it.

"Hey, Junior Sister is here, go to the backyard and clean up your room. Have you had breakfast? There are two steamed buns in the backyard kitchen, they are still hot, eat them while they are hot. In half an hour, Master will be here, and we will be very busy then."

Shao Siyou heard the noise, looked up and said to her.

"Senior Brother Shao, I've already eaten. Okay, I'll go clean up now." Chen Hongxia walked to the backyard.

As a result, as soon as the bundle was opened, two silver coins rolled out.

It was exactly what her grandmother gave her last night.

She clearly put it back into grandma's hands?

Chen Hongxia was a little puzzled, until she remembered that she had gone to the toilet at night and found the door of her toilet slightly open when she came back. Then she suddenly realized what had happened.

It turned out that grandma had not slept all night and was waiting for her to get up in the middle of the night so that she could take the opportunity to stuff the silver into her bag.

Chen Hongxia's eyes became wet again.

After calming herself down, she folded her clothes and put them in the closet, then made the bed and returned to the front of the shop.

"Brother, is there anything I can do for you?" Seeing the servants sweeping the floor and wiping the table, Chen Hongxia couldn't join in and she seemed a little restrained.

"You are here to learn medicine, not to be a servant. If you are bored, go and look through the medicine cabinet and identify the herbs." Shao Siyou said, pointing to the medicine cabinet on the left.

His eyes were always on the book in his hands.

This was given to him by his master.

I heard that it was spread by the imperial physician in the imperial city.

I can’t even buy it.

"Okay, senior brother. I'll go right away." Chen Hongxia nodded and opened a drawer at random. The medicinal material inside was ginseng slices. She pinched it in her hand to feel it, and then smelled it. She closed the drawer and started to look at the next one.

Jiang Fubao happened to see this scene when he arrived at the clinic.

"You are quite studious. Not bad."
