Chapter 654 Unite all forces that can be united!
Seeing that Guo Wu Niang's face showed no sign of grasping the core message, Aunt Guo could only sigh helplessly and then explain it to her in detail.
"If you step out and observe from the sidelines, you'll see how formidable Li San Niangzi is."
Don't just focus on your personal relationship with her; try to think about her actions from an outsider's perspective.
How could a woman like Guo Wu Niang possibly have the insight of an aunt like Guo Shu Mu, who has weathered many storms and managed a large family?
Guo Wu Niang still looked at her aunt Guo with a blank expression.
Seeing this, Aunt Guo reached out and stroked the hair behind Guo Wu Niang's ear, and said with a smile, "Ah, it doesn't matter if you can't tell. She is, after all, a daughter of the Guo family, and will surely have a smooth life."
“My aunt taught me, and although I couldn’t see clearly, Fifth Sister was willing to learn.”
"Good boy."
Aunt Guo nodded in satisfaction. Looking at Guo Wu Niang's eager eyes, she sighed and began to analyze the situation for Guo Wu Niang, word by word.
"Li San Niangzi is really amazing. She doesn't pile all these things up at once. Instead, she does a little bit here and a little bit there, and waits for the right time to connect them all together through the intricate relationships between them, like a net, to bring everything she wants to one place."
You see, she started as a female doctor and established herself in the Chang'an Medical Alliance based on her own skills. In addition, she taught those skills to the Imperial Medical Bureau free of charge.
The Chang'an Medical Alliance must obey the Imperial Medical Bureau. Therefore, as long as she doesn't make a fatal mistake, she will be invincible in the medical profession.
Don't forget, just before the New Year, the Sage sent a large army to the Western Turks to quell the rebellion. At that time, many doctors who had heard Li San Niangzi's teachings went to the border town.
As a female physician, she has already reached a high enough level. If the emperor were to grant official titles to women in the future, who knows if Li San Niangzi wouldn't receive one?
The idea of a woman becoming an official was something Guo Wuniang had never considered.
Although the highest ruler of the Tang Dynasty at this time was Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu was a woman.
Even so, in such a vast country, it's not as simple as Emperor Wu saying what he wants. The conflicts of interest both inside and outside the court, though unseen by swords and spears, are far more intense than one might imagine.
The fact that Emperor Wu could employ more than a dozen female officials in the harem who were independent of the court was already the limit he could achieve after the power struggle.
Who would want to share power with others?
How could men who held power both inside and outside the court allow Emperor Wu to share power with women?
Therefore, Guo Wuniang never imagined that women could hold official positions or wield power!
Even though Emperor Wu was a woman, Guo Wuniang never imagined that any other woman besides Emperor Wu, such an extraordinary woman as Li Sanniang, would one day be able to become an official.
"Aunt, will that day really come?"
Guo Wuniang recalled what her aunt had told her before: the reason she was able to leave the Jiang family with the confidence and strength was entirely due to the power of her uncle and brother. But Guo Wuniang knew all too well that it was best to have power in one's own hands!
Your father and brothers may one day grow tired of you, but the power you hold in your hands will never abandon you.
Aunt Guo did not answer Guo Wu Niang's question directly, but instead continued to tell her: "All women in the world will eventually get married, and as long as they are healthy, they will have children."
Li San Niangzi taught midwives free of charge and became a female midwife.
These midwives will deliver babies for women in the future. Every midwife who makes a living by delivering babies will remember Li San Niangzi's kindness when she earns every penny after graduating from Li San Niangzi's midwifery school.
Fifth Sister, in this world, there are very few people like Li San Niangzi who can teach their skills to others without asking for apprenticeship or money.
On a grander scale, Fifth Sister, this could truly be described as something a saint would do.
Guo Wu Niang now understood that the sage her aunt was referring to was not Emperor Wu, but a sage like Confucius.
Seeing that Guo Wu Niang was deep in thought, Aunt Guo did not stop talking but continued to say to her: "You heard Li San Niangzi say that she even did cesarean section to save her sister-in-law."
How can we know that in the future, a noble lady won't contract the same fatal disease as her sister-in-law?
Childbirth is like passing through the gates of hell for a woman, but if someone with the miraculous healing skills of Lady Li San could save someone even the King of Hell would take away, how do you know that Lady Li San's future wouldn't be one of exceptional promotion?
Having said all that, Aunt Guo continued speaking before Guo Wu Niang could even understand the reasoning behind it, pouring all her thoughts into Guo Wu Niang's mind.
"Furthermore, the two alliances established by Li San Niangzi, the Women's Assistance Association, aim to help women among the common people, enabling them to make a living or to find a way to overcome difficulties in their families. This is not just saving one woman, but directly saving her whole family!"
Furthermore, as Li San Niangzi clearly stated, in order to have money to continue the expenses of the Women's Aid Association, she established the Women's Club, which was specifically for serving women from wealthy families like ours. She would exchange the money for the services and then use that money to keep the Women's Aid Association running.
Fifth Sister, think about it. It's not just about women's childbirth. Just these two alliances alone, do you know that Li San Niangzi has connected noble ladies and commoner girls from top to bottom?
Noble ladies and country girls would not have any connection, but they all had relationships with Li San Niangzi, they all got married and had children, and they all relied on Li San Niangzi, a female doctor.
Li San Niangzi has rallied all the women to her side; she has united all the women. Doesn't that deserve a toast from me?
Guo Wuniang was truly stunned at this moment, shocked by what her aunt had said about what Li Sanniang had done.
At this moment, Guo Wuniang had no thoughts in her mind, only one sentence: "Is that so?"
Is that really the case?
Is that so?
Li San Niang, who had left the Guo family, was naturally unaware of the evaluations and analyses of Guo Shumu and Guo Wu Niang regarding her. She was currently overjoyed, holding her precious baby, and had no time to think about those important matters.
In fact, Aunt Guo's analysis of each and every matter was quite thorough, but Aunt Guo was still a woman confined to the inner quarters. Although she was more knowledgeable than ordinary women because someone in the Guo family held an official position in the court, she still didn't know much about the things that happened in secret.
For example, Aunt Guo would never have guessed that Li San Niang herself was a doctor in the Bad Guys gang, and that she had also trained Ling Lan, an aspiring female disciple who would one day specialize in treating the women in Pingkangfang.
Aunt Guo would never have known that Li San Niang had previously written a report under the guise of a strange person and submitted it to Emperor Wu, fundamentally prohibiting consanguineous marriage and raising the marriage age for young women.
Li San Niang did much more than Aunt Guo saw.
