Chapter 743: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 743: Do You Want to Take Her as Your Disciple?
The more Zhao Xi talked, the more he felt it was feasible. "San Ya is young and intelligent. If she learns the basic medical texts now, in a few years, she'll be able to directly treat people."
"With me teaching her, I guarantee that her medical skills will be much better than those unreliable doctors. She can treat all kinds of injuries, fevers, even cases of evisceration, poisoning, or hemoptysis. In the future, if she becomes skilled, she might even catch the attention of the palace and join the Imperial Medical hall as a female doctor, treating the imperial concubines and empresses, receiving rewards from the emperor. It would be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, wouldn't it?"
"Stop, stop, stop." Shu Yu quickly raised her hand to interrupt him. "You're getting more and more outrageous with your words."
Entering the palace? Is that a place one can easily enter? It's like a tiger's den, where one wrong move could make you a scapegoat. If she knew too much about the palace's secrets, she would be silenced. Did Zhao Xi think San Ya's life was too long?
Zhao Xi had gotten too excited while speaking and couldn't stop himself.
Now, he realized it and quickly said, "What I meant was that learning medicine would bring many benefits to San Ya."
Shu Yu certainly agreed that San Ya learning medicine was a good thing. Having a skill would make her confident no matter where she went.
She said to the old lady, "If San Ya really has talent in this area, we can give it a try. We won't even mention entering the palace; it's too dangerous. But in Dong'an Prefecture, there are two large medical clinics with female doctors specializing in treating women and young ladies who are not suitable for male doctors. I don't know how much they pay, but it would at least provide a stable livelihood."
Zhao Xi nodded repeatedly. "That's right, that's right."
The old lady asked him, "So, do you want to take San Ya as your disciple?"
Disciple?
Zhao Xi suddenly froze, feeling a subconscious unwillingness. Although San Ya was much younger than him, it would be suitable for her to be his disciple.
But the seniority felt a bit strange.
Zhao Xi forced a laugh and said, "Disciple isn't something to rush into. If I want to take on a disciple, I have to ask my master first, or else he might break one of my legs. Here's what I can do: I'll write a letter to my master and ask for his opinion. But during this time, I can teach San Ya medicine."
The old lady thought about it and agreed, "You're right; I didn't consider that. Taking on a disciple is such an important matter, and we should ask your master first. I was just worried because your medical skills are traditionally passed down to men and not women."
Zhao Xi immediately sat up straight and said seriously, "Grandma, you can rest assured. Our sect doesn't have that rule. My great-grandmaster was a skilled female doctor. When we take on disciples, we only look at their comprehension and character, not their gender or age. And my master is very easygoing. If he knows that San Ya has great talent, he might even want to personally take her as his disciple."
Hmm? If that's the case, and San Ya becomes my little martial sister, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Shu Yu suddenly glanced at him with a strange expression.
Zhao Xi's scalp tingled inexplicably. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No, but deciding to learn medicine is not something we can decide. After all, it's San Ya's matter. We need to talk to her and let her make the decision herself," Shu Yu said.
The old lady went to the kitchen and called out, "San Ya, come over here."
The little girl ran out, pitter-pattering. "Grandmother, what's wrong?"
Along with her, Da Hu also came over. The two little ones stood in the kitchen, looking at everyone with confusion.
