"You silly girl, why don't you serve tea and call me Master." When Mrs. Qin saw that Xiao Ming agreed, she quickly pulled her daughter to kneel down and worship her.
Jiang Xiangyuan could not help but kneel in front of Xiao Ming seriously, "Master, please bow to me."
Xiao Ming~~
She really knelt down. It is normal to become a disciple. She also had apprentices in her previous life, but she is still too young now~~~
The apprentice is older than the master.
"Sister Yuan, please get up quickly." Xiao Ming stretched out her hand to help Jiang Xiangyuan up.
"Doctor Xiao, you can't call her sister anymore, just call her by her first name." Mrs. Qin felt relieved when she saw Xiao Ming accepting her daughter, and said: "As the old saying goes, this day is the day for a teacher." , you will be your father for life, and she will be your disciple. If she disobeys you in the future, you will beat her severely and scold her, and my aunt will never complain."
"Mom, what are you talking about? How can I be disobedient?" Jiang Xiangyuan protested, is this still her daughter?
"You! You are just disobedient. I have to let Dr. Xiao treat you well. You have to learn from me seriously. If you are disobedient or give up halfway, even if Dr. Xiao spares you, my mother will not spare you." Ms. Qin said seriously that she was not only saying this to her daughter, but also to Dr. Xiao, so that she could understand her attitude.
"Don't worry, mom and master, I will definitely study medicine seriously." Jiang Xiangyuan nodded and assured.
"Mom, I'll be relieved if you can do this." Qin's little daughter knew it herself. When she was young, she had to practice martial arts with her. At first, she thought she wouldn't be able to persevere at such a young age, but she didn't expect that a few years later, she would wake up every morning He started practicing martial arts and never fell behind. Even when he was injured, he never flinched. When he was in the fishing village, he went out every day. Yan Ran became the eldest sister of his peers in the fishing village. He was not quiet at all.
The most important thing is that she is afraid that she will become wild and unable to sit down and learn medical skills.
Yunling ran all the way to Xia's house and invited Mrs. Song back. After Mrs. Song had breakfast, she went to Xia's house to help. Now that there are four more mothers, Yi's mother, all the work in the outer courtyard is Yi's. Feng took Yi Xuan to work, and Yi's mother took Li'er and Yunling to take care of the inner courtyard in order. Apart from helping to make meals every day, Yi's mother no longer asked her to do anything. According to her mother, she was the master's godmother and wanted to serve her as his wife, but Mrs. Song was used to working so hard that she was not willing. No, there was nothing to do here, so she went to Xia's house to help.
"My sister is really lucky to have such a well-behaved and obedient goddaughter." Mrs. Qin held Mrs. Song's hand and looked at her with a smile. There was real envy in her eyes. Only now did she realize that Xiao Ming had been standing there. The woman next to her was a servant of her family, and the one in front of her was Xiao Ming's godmother.
"Sister, you're being polite. It's a filial child. Sister, please sit down quickly. You're being negligent because of poor hospitality." Mrs. Song said politely.
Mrs. Qin settled her worries and felt relaxed. She chatted with Ms. Song about home affairs. Xiao Ming was afraid that Jiang Xiangyuan would be bored, so he pulled her and Yunling out and took her around the courtyard.
"Master, your home is really big." Jiang Xiangyuan looked around. The Xiao family's yard was not only unique and exquisite, but also covered a wide area. Unlike the exotic flowers and plants planted in other yards, the master's house planted either fruit trees or medicinal herbs.
"Ah!" Jiang Xiangyuan was startled by the huge thing lying under the eaves. It was dark and tall. At first, she thought it was some kind of object and didn't pay attention to it. But when she took a look, the thing actually raised its head and looked at it. Looking at her with dark green eyes, he stuck out his big tongue and made a harmonious sound.
It turned out to be a big dog with shiny black hair.
Well, not like a dog, more like a wolfdog.
"This is Maomao." Xiao Ming said. Now Maomao looks like a little lion, which looks a bit scary. Now that the weather is hot, Maomao will find a shady place to hide and sleep every day. She likes to stay in her study the most. Waiting for her outside, because Xiao Ming will put it into the space when no one notices it. The space is not affected by the outside world, and the temperature has always been maintained at 25 degrees.
"This dog is so big and beautiful." Jiang Xiangyuan said with envy, unable to move her eyes away from Maomao.
"Maomao, go play outside." Xiao Ming stroked Maomao's head. There were guests at home today and she couldn't let him in.
Maomao stood up and rubbed against Xiao Ming dissatisfiedly, indicating that he was very reluctant and unhappy, but he still slowly waggled his tail and walked away.
This series of humane actions made Jiang Xiangyuan's eyes wide open. She was so envious!
"Master, this Maomao is so obedient, where did you buy it?" Jiang Xiangyuan asked, she also wanted to have one.
"Brought back from the mountain." Xiao Ming said and opened the door to the study. This was her own study. She usually spent time here when she had nothing to do. "Sister Yuan, please don't call me master. You should call me by my name."
"Okay, then you can just call me Xiangyuan." Jiang Xiangyuan was not polite and directly called me Mingmei.
"come in."
"There are so many books here." Jiang Xiangyuan was even more surprised when she entered the study. The bookshelves in the study were filled with books.
"Yes, they are all medical books I collected." Xiao Ming nodded. Most of them were medical and medicinal books, and a few were travel notes, miscellaneous notes, and the like.
It was her habit to collect medical books. Here she searched almost all the bookstores in the city. The three senior brothers from Guangji Hall gave many as gifts. She also copied many of the books in the space. achieved these results.
Xiao Ming found a few simple introductory books and planned to let Jiang Xiangyuan take them home and read them slowly. Since Jiang Xiangyuan worshiped her as her teacher, she must be a conscientious master and planned to teach her theoretical knowledge first. Identify herbs and medicines, understand pharmacology, and finally learn to feel the patient's pulse, apply acupuncture and prescribe prescriptions, step by step.
Jiang Xiangyuan and Wang Yunling both teach in the same way, but Yunling is not literate, so she has to start with literacy, which is a bit more troublesome to teach. As for Western medicine surgeries, it depends on their acceptance level, and not everyone Everyone is suitable to study Western medicine.
"You take these three books home and read them first. I will go to Guangji Hall in town every three days for consultation. Then you can come and learn pulse diagnosis and prescription with me with Yunling." Studying medicine cannot be compared with other things. , A good doctor must go through long-term clinical experiments and internships, and study with a mentor. The knowledge in books is easy to learn, but if no one teaches them, they will never know the experience and allusions.
She studied medicine with her grandfather since she was a child, identifying herbal medicines and understanding the pharmacology of each herbal medicine. She knew the functions and uses of each herbal medicine by heart. Later, when her grandfather prescribed a prescription, she acted as a medicine boy to prepare and decoct the medicine. There is no error in each prescription, ensuring that the decoction will not lose its effect due to the heat. After doing this, her grandfather taught her how to use acupuncture. Finally, after she became proficient in acupuncture, her grandfather asked her to officially take the patient's pulse and prescribe a prescription. This was her first time. She was fourteen years old when she diagnosed the patient's pulse. Her grandfather stood behind her, teaching her step by step, giving pointers, and asking her what the patient's pulse was, what symptoms the pulse showed, and how it felt.
"In the future, if you have nothing to do, come here to identify the herbs and understand their properties. Yunling happens to be studying medicine, so you can communicate together." Xiao Ming arranged that these three books were just for her to read at home.
"Yunling also studies medicine." Jiang Xiangyuan frowned and looked at the little girl standing beside her, standing quietly without making a sound. She thought she was the only one.
What can we do~~
"Yes, Yunling is illiterate. Now she is learning and memorizing at the same time. She can identify many herbs and knows their medicinal properties well. You have to work hard." Xiao Ming praised, Yunling has been working hard and can read at the same time. While studying medicine, I kept everything she taught me in my heart.
"I know, Sister Ming, I will definitely work hard." Jiang Xiangyuan promised, then pulled Yunling aside and asked her curiously: "Xiao Yunling, how long have you studied medicine with Sister Ming? Have you become a disciple? No?"
"No, my aunt didn't let me become a disciple." Quling was confused and shook his head honestly.
If you don’t become a disciple, that’s fine! Jiang Xiangyuan breathed a small sigh of relief. She already had a master who was younger than her, but she couldn't have another senior sister who was even younger than her.
"Then I kowtow and serve tea to pay homage to the master. I am the first disciple of the mountain. Do you know that the first disciple of the master is me? You have to call me senior sister."
"Sister?"
"Hey, good boy." Jiang Xiangyuan nodded with satisfaction.
"You will be my junior sister from now on, and I will protect you. If anyone dares to bully you, I will beat him until he even knows his mother-in-law." Jiang Xiangyuan emphasized the word 'junior sister' very hard. , and took on the old eldest sister's attitude.
After lunch, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Yi took Mrs. Qin and her daughter to the orchard for a walk to eat. The orchard was full of green trees and fragrant fruit trees. The strong sunlight at noon did not shine in. It was a good place to enjoy the cool air.
Mr. Qin kept praising her, saying every good word.
"This orchard is great, the fruits are almost ripe." Jiang Xiangyuan was so greedy that she picked a green apple to eat.
"Well, well, it's so fragrant and sweet." Jiang Xiangyuan ate regardless of the image. Anyway, the juniors were walking behind and her mother couldn't see it.
"There are pears to eat over there." Li'er said. She also picked a fruit to eat, and pointed to the pear tree in front of her to show the guests.
The happiest thing about her coming here is that she can eat all she wants at every meal and eat as much fruit as she wants. Neither the girl nor Yi's mother cares about her. She has to go in and out of the orchard several times a day to pick fruits and eat them. She has no idea which fruits are ripe and which ones are still. She knows everything about not eating, even better than Yi Feng who watches the garden.
"Really." Jiang Xiangyuan looked at the fruits in the garden with envy. She wanted to live here every day. No, she had to go back and discuss with her mother about moving here. Anyway, she had to come here to study every day, so it would be more convenient to move here. .
After Mrs. Qin took her daughter to leave, Mrs. Song and Mother Yi cleaned up the gifts in the carriage that Mrs. Qin had brought.
Mrs. Song opened the five small boxes on the table. In addition to the black pearls in the first box, there were two boxes of pearls. They were crystal clear, full and round. They were all rare objects. One box contained a set of ruby heads. , the remaining box contains a precious jade bracelet.
"Mrs. Jiang is too polite, this gift is too precious." Mrs. Song sighed, even though she is a country girl who is ignorant, she also knows how precious this thing is.
Xiao Ming is ashamed~~
She didn't expect that every box given by Qin was so valuable, and she~~~
What were the gifts in return? Twenty packs of chrysanthemum tea, a bottle of twenty ginseng pills, two jars of fruit wine, two baskets of fresh fruits just picked from the trees, and vegetables grown in the fields.
This gift is too thin~
"This is different. Mrs. Jiang sent these as a gift to the apprentice." Yi's mother saw Xiao Ming's embarrassment and helped her out. Throughout the ages, apprenticeships have given gifts to their husbands?
But the Jiang family is really wealthy!
"You put all these away and make them into jewelry later." Mrs. Song said, saying that Xiao Ming put the things away and made the pearls into jewelry when they are out of mourning period. These pearls are beautiful and well-proportioned and can be used as a set of jewelry. Keep it as a dowry for Xiao Ming.
Compared to those boxes of heavy gifts, the things unloaded from the carriage were relatively ordinary, but they were all rare and good things.
There are several conch shells that Jiang Xiangyuan mentioned before that can hear the sound of tsunami, two beautiful shell curtains, and small bells hung under each curtain, which jingle when the wind blows. Others are rare things produced in the sea, but rarely seen inland.
Xiao Ming looked at it and felt like she was becoming a foodie again. Seaweed, seaweed, dried sea fish, prawns, squid, scallops, cuttlefish, etc. Xiao Ming, who had always been self-disciplined, secretly swallowed his saliva. This was the first time he had been here for so long. I saw so much seafood.
She hasn't eaten for a long, long time. It's been so long that it's been centuries...
I couldn't wait to pick some out and let my godmother soak them for a long time before having a seafood dinner in the evening.
Unfortunately, the Song family couldn't cook these southern seafood even though they were inland. This was very painful for Xiao Ming, so she had no choice but to recall the seafood she had eaten in her previous life and let her godmother try to cook it.
