In this era, men are superior to women, it is virtue for women not to have talents, and the space for women to survive is limited.
Jiang Shuyue could only explain a few words to enlighten the woman.
Jiang Shuyue wrote a prescription for the woman, took the medicine and told the woman how to use it.
"Girl, I see that you are recruiting female doctors here. I want to send my eldest daughter to study as a female doctor. My Jinger is twelve years old, smart and educated. Do you think it's okay?"
It was Jiang Shuyue's words that it was better for a woman to be independent that reminded her.
She would never let her daughter live a life like hers when she grew up. Even though she knew her husband had bought a brothel girl, she still couldn't get angry and make a fuss.
Jiang Shuyue looked at the woman's clothes, "Madam, her family is well-off. If you can talk to your family when you get home, you are welcome to send your daughter over at the door of my medical clinic at any time."
There are very few female doctors in the palace and their status is not low. There are very few real female doctors among the people.
There are not many maids and women with some knowledge of medicine in the backyards of wealthy families.
Most women from wealthy families don't show much publicity, so Jiang Shuyue wrote the notice with the attitude of giving it a try.
The passing geese leave a sound and the passing wind leaves a trace. She does her best to do something.
The woman took a deep breath with a firm look in her eyes, "I also ask the girl to leave a place for my Jing'er. I will definitely send her over tomorrow."
Seeing the woman being submerged in the crowd when she went out, Qiu Ju glanced at the chair where the woman had been sitting just now, "Miss, can her disease be contagious to others?"
"It's possible. If her body secretions seep through the skirt and remain where she sat, and if someone sits down at this time, there is a risk of infection. Don't worry, I have made a disinfectant."
As Jiang Shuyue said this, she went into a room in the backyard and took out a small-necked porcelain bottle.
She took off the cork and poured some on the chair, wiped it off with a piece of cotton cloth, and then threw the cotton cloth into the wooden bucket used for garbage.
The movements are clean and crisp.
Jiang Shuyue came out to clean her hands again, and Qiu Ju said: "Miss, from now on you can just leave this job to the slaves."
"Yesterday, this slave was still feeling sorry for these cotton cloths. It turns out that the lady is of great use."
After a while, several patients came one after another.
Qiu Ju had just sent the patient out when she saw a woman wearing cotton leading a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old standing timidly at the door.
"Excuse me, girl, do you really want to accept female medical apprentices?" The woman pulled the little girl and bowed to Qiu Ju and asked.
"It's true, please come in."
Qiu Ju smiled brightly, and the little girl's nervous expression relaxed a lot. She said to Qiu Ju crisply: "Thank you, sister."
Jiang Shuyue walked out from behind the screen.
The little girl has delicate features and a pair of big, watery eyes under her curved eyebrows. She looks like a smart girl at first glance.
"This is my young lady."
"Hail Miss."
The woman quickly took the little girl and bowed to Jiang Shuyue again.
Seeing Jiang Shuyue, the little girl's timidity disappeared, and she still felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
She smiled brightly at Jiang Shuyue and said, "Master, you look like a fairy coming out of a painting."
This sentence made Qiu Ju and Jiang Shuyue both laugh.
"Little girl, what's your name? Fairies can save people. If you study medicine well, you will also be a fairy in the future." Jiang Shuyue's voice was as warm as the spring breeze.
The woman was overjoyed and said, "Miss, are you willing to accept a second girl?"
"Thank you Master, Erniu will definitely study medicine with Master." Before the woman could shout, the little girl knelt down and kowtowed.
Jiang Shuyue grabbed her arm and said, "Don't kneel down. Doctors are very particular about hygiene. The ground is always unclean. If you study medicine with me, you won't have to kneel down when you see the emperor."
"Well, Er Niu listens to Master."
The woman was so excited that she didn't know what to do. Jiang Shuyue asked the woman, "Does Erniu have another name?"
The woman shook her head, "A commoner woman doesn't know a single word. Her father left early. She is the second eldest child in the family, so she is used to being called Erniu."
Erniu raised her little face and said, "Master, my father's surname is Yin. Can Master give Erniu a name?"
The moment she said her last name, Jiang Shuyue instinctively thought of Yinqiao.
"Then let's call it Yinqiao. Yinqiao is good for clearing away heat and detoxifying."
"Thank you, Master. I like this name." The little girl looked at Jiang Shuyue with stars in her eyes, her admiration beyond words.
"Thank you, Miss, for giving me the name. It sounds nice and is easy to remember."
Jiang Shuyue asked her mother and daughter to sit down. After some conversation, she learned that Yinqiao's home was not far from here.
Yinqiao's mother makes a living by doing embroidery work. Because of her good embroidery skills, she earns a lot of money by taking on wedding dresses from wealthy families.
It can also afford Yinqiao's brother to study. Yinqiao is smart. Her brother teaches her how to read and she can read and write "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames".
Jiang Shuyue immediately said to Yinqiao, "The monthly silver will be tentatively set at February or January at first. Let's see who learns well. The monthly silver will rise year by year."
"If I can stand alone in the future, I can even receive dividends every month."
"Your house is close. The hospital will take care of lunch at noon. You can go home after the hospital closes. Just come to the hospital at three o'clock the next day."
The little girl was so happy that she nodded repeatedly, not knowing what to say.
With money, she can lighten the burden for her mother, who no longer has to stay up late at night to do embroidery work.
It’s a great day to be able to go home and continue studying with my brother every day.
Qiu Ju sends Yinqiao's mother away, while Yinqiao stays and starts by identifying the medicinal materials.
The little girl is really smart. When she identifies the medicinal materials, she even picks them up and smells them.
It was almost noon, and there was a restaurant not far from the hospital.
Just when Jiang Shuyue was about to ask Qiu Ju to order food, Nangong Zeyue came with Suisui in hand.
"Come in quickly, put everything on the table, and come back to collect the dishes in an hour."
Only then did Jiang Shuyue see clearly that there were two boys carrying food boxes behind Nangong Zeyue.
Sui Sui was about to pounce towards Jiang Shuyue when he saw Yinqiao staring at him with joy in her eyes.
He resisted the urge to call her mother and touched his belly with his little hand.
Jiang Shuyue went up to him, picked him up and put him on the chair next to her, "Are you hungry in Suisui?"
"Yeah! I went to a few places with Uncle Nangong and I'm a little hungry."
Thinking that it would be inconvenient for Yinqiao to eat at the same table as herself and Nangong Zeyue, Jiang Shuyue asked Qiu Ju to divide the food into two tables.
"It's opening today. I can't help. I know you don't have time to go home for dinner." Nangong Zeyue picked up the bowl and filled Jiang Shuyue with a bowl of black-bone chicken soup.
Then he put a chicken leg into the bowl in front of Suisui.
Jiang Shuyue took a sip of the soup, touched Suisui's head and said, "Eat more, and go home and take a nap later. There is no ice basin in the hospital, and it is hotter than at home."
She then said to Nangong Zeyue: "Don't come here to deliver food tomorrow. It's convenient for me to let Qiu Ju go to the restaurant next door to call for food."
The food in the restaurant here is freshly cooked, just like at home.
Unlike modern times, most of the dishes in restaurants are pre-prepared dishes with preservatives added in a production process, and only a small part are cooked by chefs.
Nangong Zeyue agreed readily, "Okay, I happen to have something to do tomorrow."
"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Shuyue was curious. What did this idle guy have to do?
Nangong Zeyue smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you when the matter is settled."
