Chapter 500
Yunxi pursed her lips: "However, whether this matter can be accomplished depends on you."
"Look at me?" Doctor Feng glanced at her sideways. "We need to look at you!"
"I?"
Doctor Feng nodded: "Over the years I have traveled all over the country and have seen a lot of women's illnesses. When it comes to teaching apprentices, men and women are the same, but the problem is, where do you find women who are willing to learn medicine?"
Yunxi remained silent.
That's right.
Young ladies from respectable families rarely ventured beyond their homes, as if anything related to money was considered disreputable. Those who were willing to send their daughters out to learn a trade were mostly from average or even impoverished families, and needlework was the first choice for most of them.
After all, this is a respectable job, and if you master the skill, you'll have the opportunity to showcase your talent in bigger places in the future, so the future looks promising.
After needlework, the next step was calligraphy, painting, and cooking; there was no way she would study medicine.
The thought of this made Yunxi's heart sink.
That night, Yunxi tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and woke up the next day feeling extremely unwell.
Just as she was about to stay in bed a little longer, Xiao Chengping's attendant suddenly came over and asked Yunxi he had any perilla drink.
Yunxi naturally didn't have any ready-made, so she asked Jixiang to make it on the spot. Just as she was about to hand the perilla drink to him to take away, she went outside and found that he had already disappeared.
Yunxi had no choice but to dress properly and go personally to deliver it.
Upon arriving at the Yuelai Inn, Yunxi went to Xiao Chengping's room with practiced ease and gave him the perilla drink.
Since she was already there, Yunxi wasn't in a hurry to leave. She sat down by the window as usual, resting her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought.
Xiao Chengping took a sip of his perilla drink, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Yunxi, and asked, "Is something on your mind, Miss?"
Yunxi shook her head: "It's nothing."
Xiao Chengping nodded and said nothing more.
Yunxi couldn't help but look at him.
The man in front of her comes from a family of merchants, so perhaps he can solve her problem.
After pondering for a moment, Yunxi said, "Young Master Xiao, I do have a problem. Perhaps... Young Master Xiao can help me?"
A dark glint flashed in Xiao Chengping's eyes, but he remained calm on the surface: "Miss, you didn't find it troublesome to bring me perilla drink. For that alone, if there's anything I can do to help you, I will do my best."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with Young Master Xiao."
Yunxi sat up straight and began to explain her thoughts.
Xiao Cheng listened quietly, without taking another sip of the perilla drink in his hand.
After Yunxi finished speaking, Xiao Chengping said, "So, Miss wants to recruit women to study medicine and then open several clinics that specialize in treating women, just like Yiyuantang in Luoyang?"
Yunxi nodded repeatedly: "What do you think of this idea, Young Master Xiao?"
Xiao Chengping didn't speak immediately.
He remained silent for a long time before saying, "It's not impossible, but it's difficult in this area."
