After Lin Boyu left, Lin Shiyu went looking for a doctor she knew.
She had previously said in a letter that she was going to her biological father's place and that the family business would be handed over to Lin Anji.
Who knew Lin Boyu had to continue taking exams and didn't make it. Now that he's come to the capital, Lin Shiyu feels that since he's already here, it would be more sincere to come and explain it in person.
Every time she went to see a doctor, she stayed there for three to five days.
There was no other way. After discussing the business matters, the doctors would not let her leave and forced her to stay to ask questions.
Lin Shiyu:.......
After all, she came from the modern era, possessing a wealth of theoretical knowledge and secret formulas, and even her practical skills were no less impressive. Those doctors were eager to dig out all the knowledge in her head.
After walking and stopping here and there, the three of them finally arrived at the provincial capital and stayed at the largest medical clinic in the provincial capital.
As the students rushed to take the imperial examinations, the better inns in the city were almost full, and even the surrounding houses were occupied by students taking the imperial examinations or their families.
Lin Shiyu arrived late and the exam had already started. She couldn't find a place to stay, so she was taken in by a familiar doctor in a clinic.
She didn't stay there for free. At the doctor's request, she was seeing patients during those days.
When she first started seeing patients, none of them believed her.
She was too young and a woman. Even though the clinic staff strongly recommended it, the patient just wouldn't buy it.
Lin Shiyu had nothing to do, so she sat at her desk reading the medical book provided by the doctor. Occasionally, when the doctors were free, they would come to ask her for advice.
However, this phenomenon only occurred in the first two days.
On the third day, there was a constant stream of patients coming to see her.
Looking at the seemingly endless line of people, the doctors in the clinic smiled at each other.
This is a famous female doctor. They just need to spread the news that she is in the clinic, and the patients will come on their own, right?
You know, before, if you wanted to see her for medical treatment, you had to go to a remote place in the mountains and queue up for a number.
The number of patients is increasing day by day.
On the second day after being surrounded by patients, Lin Shiyu asked the clinic to spread the word to everyone that she would no longer see patients the next day.
"My brother finished his exam yesterday. I'll let him take a day off today. I'm going to look for her tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the doctor at the clinic couldn't even utter a word of persuasion.
The four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans were divided into three groups: the officials were classified as "artisans" and were one level lower than the peasant class.
They looked at Lin Shiyu with complicated eyes.
Lin Shiyu: "What's wrong? You're looking at me like that, and I'm getting nervous!"
"It's okay." The doctor sighed and shook his head.
Lin Shiyu: "No, you said it was okay, so it was okay. You even sighed afterwards. How can I believe that it was okay?"
The doctor sighed again.
Seeing Lin Shiyu looking at him straight, her eyes seemed to be saying, if you don’t explain clearly, I will keep watching you.
The doctor was helpless and explained, "I just feel sorry for you because you are such a good doctor and you won't be able to treat me in the future!"
Lin Shiyu: "...When did I say I wouldn't see a doctor anymore?"
The doctor refused to listen to her explanation. "Your father is already an official, and your brother is also a man of honor. If you continue to practice medicine, where will their reputation be?"
"I don't know about other situations, but I do know something about what goes on among the nobles. If someone in the family becomes an official, those who practice medicine or business in the family must come secretly, otherwise people around will laugh at you. Laugh at your family."
Big families rarely get involved in business matters themselves; they have servants to take care of it because it is a menial job.
The upper class people care about face and they think that being a doctor or a businessman is shameful.
Lin Shiyu frowned.
She hadn't really considered this situation before, mainly because her father and brother hadn't mentioned it to her.
Anyway, she can do whatever she wants at home, and her father and brother are supportive of her.
She thought that even if she continued to practice medicine, her family would still continue to support her.
but......
If I really make things difficult for them because of my medical practice...
"Why are you frowning at such a young age? I'm just imagining things." Seeing her lost in thought, the doctor immediately offered words of comfort: "Most of the patients you see are women. Maybe they won't be too harsh on you, right?!"
The doctor said this without any confidence.
Class concepts cannot be broken at will.
It is rare for the Lin family to rise from a peasant family to a scholarly family, so they should cherish their reputation even more.
"I understand, thank you." Lin Shiyu came back to her senses and thanked him.
Doctor: "...What do you know?"
What are you thanking me for?
Early the next morning, Lin Shiyu said goodbye to the doctors at the clinic and went to the inn where she had agreed to meet Lin Boyu.
The exams were over, and some students who were short of money checked out and went home after the exams.
Many rooms in the inn were vacant.
After Lin Shiyu booked a room, she went to meet her brother.
Because she knew that Lin Boyu would not leave until the results were announced, so he must stay in the inn.
"How is it? Can you make the list?" Lin Shiyu asked casually when she saw the two people looking listless.
Chang Lin shook his head: "Not at all sure."
Lin Boyu followed suit and replied, "I'm not sure, but it doesn't matter."
Anyway, the reason why the two of them came to take the exam was because they signed up on a whim.
They came here with the purpose of gaining some experience, and they really haven't considered whether they can succeed.
Success is the best, but failure is okay, just take it as an opportunity to experience the world.
"Growing up, I have such an open mind!"
Lin Boyu: “…”
Chang Lin: “…”
You sound more like our elders!
While the three of them were fighting, the servant ran in panting.
"The list is out, Master!"
The three people who were fighting stopped immediately and looked in the direction of the people below.
The servant swallowed his saliva and spoke with difficulty under the gaze of the three people:
"Master, you are not on the list."
Chang Lin felt instantly disappointed. Although he had prepared himself for failure, he still felt disappointed when he heard the news.
"Master, you are not on the list, but Master Lin is."
Lin Boyu widened his eyes and looked at the servants of the Chang family in disbelief.
At this time, his servant also came back and told him the news that he was on the list.
"Ha ha......."
Lin Boyu laughed loudly, but halfway through he remembered his son-in-law who failed the exam, and immediately stopped laughing.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Unexpectedly, Chang Lin burst into laughter and picked him up.
“Good job!”
He looked at Chang Lin, and after making sure that he was not forcing himself, he burst into laughter.
Lin Shiyu was originally drinking tea calmly, but was finally pulled up by them to join the Happy Group team.
