Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 206 Master

Before she came, the Shen family had been looking for part-time workers to prepare medicinal food. If they really wanted Shen Wanting and the others to learn medicinal food, they could have done it at that time. There was no need to wait until now.

But she really didn't understand why they wanted to learn now.

After being moved by her granddaughters' filial piety, Lady Shun'an looked at Doctor Lin with a smile and said, "Luxi, if you teach one person, you can teach three or four people as well. Please teach them together."

Song Ying blinked. Four? Wasn't it three?

Also, didn’t you say before that you wanted to let the master take a good rest so that you could teach me in the next two days? How come you want the master to teach you again?

Before she could figure it out, County Lady Shun'an held her lips and said with a smile, "I think we should not cancel this short-term employment contract. From now on, Song Ying will come back every day to teach the sisters how to make medicinal food the next day. Just think of it as the junior sisters helping the senior sister."

Junior sisters? Do the Fifth Miss and the others also want to become Master's disciples?

The more Song Ying listened, the more confused he became.

At this time, the Shunan County Lady looked at her and said, "Song Ying, you will be the senior sister from now on. You must teach the younger sisters well. You can also have fun together as people of the same age."

Song Ying did not answer, but looked at his master.

The situation was too chaotic now. She couldn't understand what was going on and didn't dare to respond easily.

Doctor Lin thought she was afraid, so he smiled at her soothingly and then said, "There are very few female doctors in the world, and many women who suffer from leukorrhea can only endure it, even those who are born into wealth and status are no exception.

If there could be more female doctors in this world, I would be more than happy to have them. So no matter who it is, as long as they are willing to learn, I am willing to teach.

But don't mention the idea of becoming a disciple anymore. You ladies are so precious, how can you become a disciple of a lowly person like me?"

After hearing the previous words, Song Ying was full of admiration for his master and was impressed by her vision and ambition, but he was suddenly stunned when he heard the word "lowly" in the second sentence.

In this dynasty, doctors are not considered lowly. Why did Master say this? Was he being modest?

On the soft couch, Princess Shun'an's expression froze for a moment. "What's the point of being a lowly person? You have done a great job in treating the late Empress Dowager, and your sins have been forgiven."

There was a flash of sarcasm in Doctor Lin's eyes, but she didn't say much. She just stood there. Her attitude was very clear: you can follow her and learn, but she won't accept you as a disciple.

She was so determined that Lady Shun'an had no choice but to take a step back and said, "Wanyi, you sisters should learn from Song Ying well."

She thought for a moment, then tilted her head and said, "Chun Tao, we ladies are not familiar with the things in the kitchen, so you can follow us and serve in the kitchen."

Song Ying: “…”

Four people are making a bowl of medicinal food. Do they need to carry the medicine jar while doing it?

Moreover, if Chuntao joins in, will the three young ladies just talk on the sidelines? What can they learn from that?

The second day of the winter month.

The weather turned cold and the north wind picked up. In the morning, the lead-gray sky was covered with white snow.

After breakfast, Song Ying followed Doctor Lin out to Doctor Ma's clinic.

It was a cold winter day, with few pedestrians on the road and the clinic was closed.

Song Ying walked up to the door with ease and knocked. Soon, Lin Wenxuan's voice rang out from inside: "I'm coming! I'm coming!"

Less than half a minute later, the door creaked open. Lin Wenxuan was wrapped in cotton, with his neck hunched and his hair loose. "Is it a cold? This winter is worse than last year..."

As he stuck his head out, he saw the people outside the house clearly, "Aunt! Song Ying! Why are you here?"

Lin Wenxuan was surprised and confused. It was so early in the morning and he was freezing to death. He was not in a hurry to see a doctor, so why did he come to the clinic so early?

"Where is your master?" Doctor Lin asked.

"He's still sleeping. I'll go call him." After saying that, Lin Wenxuan shrank his neck and ran away.

Song Ying and Doctor Lin entered the clinic and waited for a while in the room behind the consulting room. Then Doctor Ma and Lin Wenxuan arrived.

"Senior Sister, why are you here?" Doctor Ma asked as soon as he arrived.

Senior sister?!

Song Ying looked at Doctor Lin and then at Doctor Ma, and was extremely surprised. It turned out that Doctor Lin and Doctor Ma were from the same school!

Doctor Lin pointed at Song Ying and said, "You all know Song Ying. I have accepted her as my apprentice. She has already learned acupuncture. I want her to give acupuncture to patients here and gain experience."

"Disciple?! Aunt, you accepted Song Ying as your disciple? When did it happen?" Lin Wenxuan widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Just before the Double Ninth Festival, I've been very busy these days and haven't had time." Song Ying felt a little apologetic when she said the last part. It was because of Lin Wenxuan's recommendation that she was able to work part-time for Doctor Lin. After becoming his apprentice, she forgot to inform him, which was a bit rude.

Lin Wenxuan didn't blame her for this. He silently calculated the time and said in astonishment, "You memorized all the acupuncture songs in just over a month?"

Song Ying nodded: "There is also a human meridian map."

"What a good memory!" Lin Wenxuan praised with envy, and then looked at his aunt with awe and complexity. It had only been more than a month, and she dared to let her apprentice come out to give acupuncture to patients. Only his aunt could do such a thing.

Doctor Ma's eyebrows were twisted into a shape of "川" (a character on the left). "My clinic has not only female patients, but also male patients. It's not proper for a girl like her to give acupuncture to a man."

"Doctors don't see gender." Doctor Lin said in a calm tone, "You can feel the pulse and give acupuncture to female patients, so why can't she give acupuncture to male patients?"

"How can this be compared?" Doctor Ma blew his beard. "The girl's reputation..."

"She can give acupuncture only to female patients, and can also use ordinary acupuncture points on male patients."

Doctor Ma's face was still full of rejection. "Which clinic has a female pharmacist? If this gets out, how will others view our clinic?"

"Without the female medicine boy, where would the female doctor come from? Without a female doctor like me, how could there be the Lin family and you today?"

Doctor Ma choked and was completely speechless.

Lin Wenxuan thought of his own family's narrow escape and helped, saying, "Master, please let Song Ying stay. Many female patients gave up acupuncture before because it was inconvenient. With her here, future female patients can also be treated with acupuncture."

Doctor Lin has already brought up the kindness he has shown Doctor Ma in the past, so what else can Doctor Ma do? He has to agree no matter how reluctant he is.

"Okay, from now on, I'll leave the acupuncture of the female patients in the clinic to you."

Song Ying breathed a sigh of relief and quickly assured: "Doctor Ma, don't worry, I will do my best!"

"You should call me uncle." Doctor Lin patted her shoulder and stood up with satisfaction. "Do it well. If you are unsure, ask your uncle."

Song Ying glanced at the depressed Doctor Ma, suppressed his excitement, and nodded in agreement.

Doctor Lin returned to the Shen Mansion. Although Song Ying had taught Chuntao, Shen Wanting and the other two sisters how to make medicinal diet in the past few days, and had taught them again yesterday about what they needed to make today, Doctor Lin was still worried and wanted to go back to take a look.

Lin Wenxuan took Song Ying and sent Doctor Lin out, and then said happily: "From now on, we are fellow disciples, and you have to call me senior brother."

Song Ying was also very happy. He glanced at the depressed Doctor Ma in the clinic and said in a low and cheerful voice, "Hello, Senior Brother!"
