Combining medical terminology with some translation, Principal Xu was able to roughly understand it. Even though he only roughly understood it, his hands were shaking with excitement, and his lips twitched involuntarily a few times, but he quickly restrained himself and pursed his lips.
Principal Guo smiled brightly. How could it be enough if he was the only one who was stimulated?
"How about it? Do you want this student?"
"Yes!" Principal Xu shouted subconsciously, then suddenly came to his senses and said awkwardly, "If you want, you have to pass the exam. I won't let you take any shortcuts."
Principal Guo laughed out loud, "You old fellow, you deserve this day."
He wants this student, but doesn't want to compromise on principle. If he says he doesn't want him, he really can't bear to let him go!
"What are you talking about?" Principal Xu pretended to frown and said to Zhong Yuxiu, "Comrade Zhong, I'll give you a few questions on the spot. Is that okay?"
"OK."
Principal Xu's brows relaxed. He stood up, walked to his desk, sat down, and wrote a few questions on the spot and handed them to her. "If you can do it, I will teach you personally."
"Comrade Zhong, Old Xu's medical skills are good. If you learn from him carefully, you will definitely be able to make no mistakes." Principal Guo said with a smile.
Zhong Yuxiu's eyes lit up, and after thanking her, she took the notebook with both hands and answered the questions on the spot; Principal Xu's questions were all about medicine, and they were biased towards traditional Chinese medicine. It was obvious that although the other party said he would not give her a back door, he was still trying to give her as much leeway as possible.
However, these TCM questions were complex and tested her knowledge to a certain extent.
People who can live to this age are not fools, they are very smart.
Recall the traditional Chinese medicine books that I have read and answer them one by one; if I am not sure, I will write down the answer I think is correct and make a note of the uncertain parts, so as to further make up for my own shortcomings.
"Principal Xu, I'm done." Zhong Yuxiu returned the notebook.
After reading it, Principal Xu looked at her deeply and asked, "Have you memorized the entire Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine?"
"Yes, I have a pretty good memory. I can remember something after reading it a few times and it's not easy to forget it."
"No wonder." Each question was written according to the standard medical answer. This made the answer standard, but it didn't reveal the depth of the question. "How good is your memory?"
Principal Guo also looked over. Zhong Yuxiu still didn't intend to reveal her true strength. "Now, I can remember everything after seeing it once..."
What if the mental power cannot be upgraded? This body has mastered the essence of mental power and can still remember everything it sees.
"That's amazing!" Principal Xu was quite surprised. Throughout history, there have been very few people who have been able to remember everything they have seen. Not to mention that geniuses can have a photographic memory, but it depends on what kind of genius they are. "So, what medical books have you read?"
Zhong Yuxiu was unsure of his plan, so she repeated what she had said to Principal Guo.
Principal Xu stood up and went to the bookshelf to find some thick basic pharmacopoeias, such as "Yaojian", "Puji Fang", "Huisheng Ji", "Fengmen Quanshu", etc. He returned to his seat and took out "Huisheng Ji". "Have you read this book?"
“I have.”
Principal Xu was silent, and then he took out the Puji Fang. Zhong Yuxiu nodded again. This time he picked up the Yaojian. Zhong Yuxiu nodded again, "I've read it."
"What about this one?" Principal Xu held up "The Complete Book of Madness".
Zhong Yuxiu glanced at it and shook her head, "I haven't seen it."
"This is a medical book from the Qing Dynasty, mainly treating leprosy and other diseases. You should read the last three pages first, and then recite them after reading them." He wanted to test her knowledge and naturally would not let her pass easily.
"good."
After taking it, Zhong Yuxiu turned to the last three pages. This medical book was recorded in vertical format; fortunately, she was used to reading it in ancient times, so she had no difficulty reading it.
To buy time, Zhong Yuxiu estimated that half an hour had passed before she put down the book. "Principal Xu, how do we recite it? Should we recite it backwards or forwards?"
"In such a short time, you can still recite it backwards?" Principal Xu was surprised.
Zhong Yuxiu: “.......” What a bad mouth.
"Cough." Zhong Yuxiu lowered her head and coughed lightly, then she could only say, "It's, it's okay."
"Not bad?" Principal Xu looked at her doubtfully for a moment, then said, "Recite it in forward order first. If you're right, try reciting it in reverse order."
"Okay, then I'll begin," Zhong Yuxiu said seriously, and the words recorded in her memory emerged one by one. "The Complete Book of Madness, General Introduction to Madness; the ancients called madness leprosy, also known as evil disease, black and white leprosy, red and white epilepsy..."
After she recited smoothly, she sped up and Principal Xu checked every word; when she finished reciting, he still couldn't find any mistakes or omissions.
"Excellent." Principal Xu gave a thumbs-up, his eyes full of admiration. "No mistakes or omissions. Now, recite it backwards."
"When governing the country, the importance of both internal and external affairs should be appropriately distinguished..."
She could recite it word for word without making a single mistake. Not only was Principal Xu astonished, but even Principal Guo was amazed. Although he knew that Zhong Yuxiu had a high IQ and a good memory, he never thought it could be this good. I'm afraid Professor Ding also didn't know.
Principal Xu was very satisfied. With such an amazing memory, it wasn't difficult to master Chinese medicine. The challenge lay in prescribing medicine after mastering it. "Are you sure you want to learn from me? If you do, I won't let you give up halfway."
"Principal Xu, I will not change my mind about what I have decided to do. There is no such thing as giving up halfway in my dictionary." If she gave up so easily, she would not do research.
Principal Xu had obviously thought of this as well, nodding in satisfaction and appreciation. "Alright then, you'll learn from me from now on. I'm not interested in taking on any more apprentices at my age, but you're so talented, so I'll accept you as my last disciple. I'm teaching a class in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Physical Therapy, and you can join me first."
"Okay, teacher." Zhong Yuxiu looked normal.
Principal Xu's satisfaction with her attitude of being neither humble nor arrogant and remaining calm in the face of praise or criticism increased a bit.
"In that case, you will come over tomorrow and start learning from me."
"Isn't tomorrow too rushed?" Principal Guo asked.
Principal Xu glanced at him, then his gaze fell on Zhong Yuxiu. "From now on, I'll call you Yuxiu. Calling you Comrade Zhong all the time is a bit awkward. What do you think?"
"You are my teacher, please call me whatever you like." In ancient times, a teacher was a master, like a teacher and a father; he had the right to give students a name when they reached the age of coming of age or the age of hairpin.
"Then I'll call you Yuxiu." Principal Xu immediately beamed. "Yuxiu! I'm not entirely sure about your current progress. You need to tell me so I can teach you according to your progress."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and nodded, saying that she had only read those medical books and had no other experience.
Principal Xu nodded. "Then start with these medical books in my study. When you're not in class, come to my office and finish reading them. Try to memorize them all. Once you're familiar with them, you'll have basically gotten started. Then I'll take you on your medical visits and slowly teach you how to prescribe, take a pulse, and observe, listen, ask, and palpate."
"good."
Zhong Yuxiu responded to all of Principal Xu's instructions; prescribing medicine was secondary. It was true that she was very interested in the medical books in Principal Xu's office.
