Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Zhou Kunran shook his head: "Don't ask me how I do it. By the way, how is your apprentice learning from you?"
"She's quite good. I've taught her everything I can. But my acupuncture can only treat common ailments; I can't treat difficult or complicated cases."
"The master's abilities are limited, and the disciple has nowhere to learn!"
Is she interested in learning from me?
"You? You know acupuncture? I've never seen you use it before."
"The Zhou family is a family of doctors. However, I joined the army before, and later, due to some things, I promised my family that I would never use acupuncture to save people again."
"Are you from the Zhou family in Beijing? How could you be from the Zhou family?" After saying that, Xiao Yan felt a little embarrassed for belittling Dean Zhou's family.
Zhou Kunran, however, didn't care: "I know our Zhou family doesn't have a good reputation in Beijing. If it weren't for our medical skills, we would have declined long ago."
"It's a pity that the person in power is completely blind to the changing situation. He only knows how to use clan rules to suppress us, looking down on those below from a high position, thinking he's so great!"
"So you can take on apprentices? I've heard that the Zhou family's acupuncture techniques are not passed down to outsiders!"
"They said it was a secret and I wouldn't teach them the top-secret acupuncture techniques. They only asked that I could no longer use acupuncture to save people, but they didn't say I couldn't take on apprentices!"
Why the sudden urge to take on apprentices?
"Medical skills are for saving lives, not for hoarding. I don't agree with the family's approach, but as a member of the Zhou family, there are some things I cannot disobey."
“My apprentices are different. Even if they recognize that my apprentices use the Zhou family's acupuncture techniques, so what? There are other acupuncture techniques in the world besides those of the Zhou family.”
"Just don't tell anyone that I'm the one who taught you!"
"There must be many people who want to learn from you, so why did you choose Tongtong?"
"It's probably a matter of first impressions! She's been coming to the hospital to help out whenever she has free time lately. She's very perceptive; I only need to give her a few pointers occasionally, and she gets it very quickly."
"Actually, your son has a stronger ability to understand, but he's more like an emotionless machine; he doesn't empathize with patients!"
Xiao Yan: "........" What is empathy? She's injured and her son is completely unmoved!
Or rather, Xiao Gengwu's emotional string was only plucked for Yao Tongjia. He was very sensitive to Yao Tongjia's emotional changes and could also think of her feelings.
He was practically immune to everyone else, including his mother.
It would be a lie to say she felt nothing at all. Love is mutual, and of course she would be sad if her son didn't love her as his mother.
She felt mostly grateful to Yao Tongjia. If it weren't for Yao Tongjia, her son would have truly become an emotionless machine!
“I would be very happy to have someone teach her. I will go back and tell Yao Tongjia that I will bring her to work the day after tomorrow!”
Zhou Kunran nodded: "If your son wants to come and learn, then let him come! Anyway, he and Yao Tongjia are inseparable, so he can learn as much as he can."
Xiao Yan nodded quickly. She knew her son had a photographic memory, and letting him see more things could save his life in a critical moment!
After dinner, Xiao Yan stopped Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu and told them what Zhou Kunran had said: "I have heard of Zhou family acupuncture, which is very famous in Beijing."
"It's just that the Zhou family rarely takes action. How so? The whole family is somewhat snobbish, and those without power can't afford to hire them!"
"Therefore, I never thought that Dean Zhou was also a member of the Zhou family, but his character was so different from that of other members of the Zhou family."
"He said he wouldn't teach the top-secret acupuncture techniques, but you can learn a fraction of the Zhou family's acupuncture techniques, which is enough for you. Do you want to learn more?"
Yao Tongjia nodded readily: "Of course I'll go study."
Xiao Gengwu was practically invisible by her side. Ever since the last attack, he had been inseparable from Yao Tong, going wherever she went.
If he was interested in what she was doing, he would learn along with her; if he wasn't interested, he would translate it himself. In any case, he couldn't let Yao Tongjia out of his sight.
Unlike Xiao Gengwu's indifferent attitude, she was very happy, because life was getting more and more boring.
In her daily life, Yao Yanxin took care of all the housework. Besides, she wasn't good at housework. In her previous life, she had bad family relationships, but she was always a princess in her daily life.
Yao Yanxin and Yao Tongxu had already prepared all the hemostatic medicine. All she had to do was mix the powder together. Of course, she also needed to take out the spiritual spring water in private.
With the help of Xiao Gengwu, a top student, she is already able to keep up with the pace of her studies. As long as she follows the rules at school, she will definitely be able to get into a good university in the college entrance examination in two years.
With this extra time, she still hoped to learn more skills. Before, when Xiao Gengwu was hospitalized, she couldn't bear to see her master so busy that he barely had time to rest.
After she couldn't help but help, she discovered that she was finally able to insert the needles she had always been afraid to do in an emergency. Later, with guidance from Dean Zhou, she became more and more steady in her needle insertion.
She had previously decided to help out at the hospital on weekends, but the hospital wasn't always busy, and she couldn't stay there all the time. Now that she had the opportunity to study, she could help out at the hospital more often.
When Yao Tongjia arrived at the hospital on the weekend, Dean Zhou was sitting in the surgical department waiting for her. Dean Zhou beckoned Yao Tongjia to sit down, saying, "Our Zhou family's acupuncture techniques are not passed down to outsiders."
"But after studying the acupuncture techniques of several other schools, I found that they all have commonalities. What I will teach you are those common acupuncture techniques."
"Don't worry, I will absolutely not give the Zhou family a chance to cause you trouble! Just remember to call me Dean Zhou when you're out, and don't let anyone know that I'm teaching you acupuncture."
The Zhou family has a very strong desire to control their clansmen. They had already declared that they would exterminate the clan because he had not listened to their advice and joined the army.
Later, seeing that he was doing well in the army, he asked his parents to come find him and let him return to his clan.
As a soldier, he couldn't bear the stigma, so he acquiesced to his parents' demands and, under their arrangement, married that poor woman.
He knew it was actually the clan's arrangement, and they didn't want him to escape their control. As a member of the Zhou family, he certainly knew what the clan meant.
Later, he was injured, and the clan sent a highly respected person to help him treat the injury, but they were helpless and could not restore him to his uninjured state. He was no longer suitable to serve in the army.
The clan told him to ask the leaders to let him take up an official position, so that the Zhou family could use his power to rise again.
However, he disliked being an official and did not want his clansmen to become more arrogant because of his influence.
But what did his refusal bring him? It brought ruin to his family and death. A family of doctors caused a woman to die in childbirth at home.
They're not afraid of damaging the Zhou family's reputation if word gets out; it's just too damn damn.
What chilled him most were his parents, who were their daughter-in-law and their grandchildren, yet they remained indifferent and simply carried out the clan's demands.
They didn't reveal any information to him at all. Even if they let him know, he could have saved him himself. Why were they so cold-blooded?
