"Are you crazy? You want your sister to study medicine?" Li Shichu said in surprise. Bai He later followed Wei Qiaoyuan and became the Duke's general. As long as his sister grows up well, she will be the Duke's daughter. She is very useful. Are you going to study medicine as an apprentice with Li Shichu?
"What's wrong with studying medicine? She treats illnesses and saves people like Dr. Li. Even if she can only learn one or two points of your medical skills from Dr. Li, it will be enough for her." Bai He said carelessly. He had no idea what he would do in the future. What a meteoric rise.
"Studying medicine is not a good way out for a girl. If she just wants to learn some medical skills to strengthen her body, there is no need to be my apprentice. Just find a good doctor and let her consult." Li Shichu is a woman herself. She knows best the situation of women studying medicine in this era, otherwise she would not be a doctor as a man until now.
"Doctor Li, do you dislike my sister?" Bai He asked with some disappointment when he saw Li Shichu's disapproval.
"No, I'm afraid that you will regret letting your sister study medicine in the future. You will definitely be able to make contributions and support your sister in the future. If she studies medicine with me, others will use this to attack her in the future and give her a bad reputation." Li Shichu said very directly.
But Bai He said indifferently: "What is this? I think when my sister and I were fleeing, we were even little beggars. Now that we can eat, drink and become human beings, we are already satisfied. Who cares about whether our reputation is good or not? Will you use this to attack?"
Li Shichu choked up. This was true. She had seen the two brothers and sisters in the most miserable state. They were no different from little beggars. Since Bai He didn't care, she wouldn't say more.
After Bai He recovered from his injury and returned, he indeed sent people to Li Shichu's place, including his family's accumulated property and his sister. However, he could not come out at will after he recovered from his injury, so he had to ask his sister to follow the savior to repay his kindness.
Bai He's sister is no longer called Bai Xiaoya, but is called Bai Ya. Bai Ya is eleven years old. Because she was too hungry when she was a child, even though she has made up for it in the past few years, she is still shorter than her peers and her figure is also smaller. She was even thinner, which was probably why Bai He insisted on letting her study medicine with Li Shichu, just to give her the ability to protect herself.
"Doctor Li, my brother asked me to study medicine with you." Bai Ya said shyly to Li Shichu, and handed her a large bag of things very directly.
"This is the money that my brother and I have accumulated over the past few years. My brother said that this is the medical fee that we have owed you for a long time, and now I have brought it back to you." Bai Ya was very shy, but she listened to her brother's words very much and returned it. After unpacking all the bags, there were some gold and silver jewelry inside, and even some small antiques, miscellaneous. They were obviously things Baihe had obtained during the wars in the past few years. He was so sincere that he gave them all to Li Shichu.
Li Shichu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "The consultation fee doesn't need to be that much. Just give me ten coppers, and you can take back the rest."
"No, this is not only the consultation fee for you, but also the reward for saving my life. The grace of saving my life is so valuable. This money is not enough to repay you. It seems that I am taking advantage. Doctor Li, please don't refuse." Bai Ya Although he is shy, he is surprisingly sharp-tongued.
Li Shichu still didn't want it, but Bai Ya said with a sad face: "Doctor Li, if you don't want to accept these, do you think my life is cheap and not worth the money at all?"
Good guy, Li Shichu hasn't had this feeling of being choked by someone for a long time. What else can she say? If you continue to refuse, wouldn't you really agree to her words?
Bai Ya suffered a lot when she was a child and had to learn how to act by looking at people's faces. Now seeing that Li Shichu's expression had relaxed, she continued her efforts: "Besides, Doctor Li, I have to study medicine with you. You can eat, drink, and live, but you can’t pay for food, accommodation, tuition and miscellaneous fees? Speaking of which, these things are simply not enough, no, I have to ask my brother to save some more money..."
"Enough, enough!" Li Shichu said quickly. She was worried that Bai Ya would mortgage her brother to her if she didn't say anything.
Bai Ya suddenly showed a successful smile.
Li Shichu had no choice but to accept this young apprentice with a special status. Fortunately, the few apprentices she had accepted before were both male and female, so it was not outstanding for a little girl Bai Ya to study medicine with her.
Bai Ya was a very smart little girl, down-to-earth and studious, with a good memory. She was actually somewhat talented in studying medicine. Li Shichu really treated her as his apprentice.
Probably because of the hardships she suffered as a child, Bai Ya will not be willful and arrogant just because her life is better now, but will work harder to learn the knowledge she can.
Li Shichu took Bai Ya to study medicine and save people in the medical clinic. Wei Qiaoyuan's territory grew bigger and bigger as the war progressed, and Bai He's official position also rose higher and higher. Logically speaking, his status was enough for his sister Bai Ya to become the eldest lady. However, neither he nor Bai Ya had the slightest intention of going back to being the eldest lady. They still followed Li Shichu as apprentices, treating illnesses and saving people conscientiously.
In those years, Bai He suffered several injuries. Except for one case that was particularly serious and required Li Shichu's personal intervention, the other minor injuries were treated by military doctors in the military camp.
A few years later, Bai Ya has become a 16- or 17-year-old girl. Although she is not very beautiful, her gentle and calm temperament has made her the most popular Doctor Bai in the medical clinic. There are also many people pursuing her. young man.
Bai He once wrote to Li Shichu, saying that if there was a young man who caught his eye, he would ask Li Shichu to help Bai Ya settle down, saying that he believed in her vision.
But Li Shichu didn't want to mess up the relationship, and in her eyes, Bai Ya was still too young and there was no need to get engaged early, so she refused unceremoniously and asked Bai He to find her brother-in-law.
Speaking of Li Shichu's own marriage in recent years, it is not that no one has been thinking about it, but she has blocked it with those fiancées who were fictitious and had "disappeared". So as time passed, everyone knew that Li Shichu was a good man with a long-lasting love. They were obsessed with their fiancée, whom they had lost news of a long time ago, and refused to get married, so over time, everyone assumed that she would keep her fiancée safe... This was really a beautiful misunderstanding.
After another year or two, Wei Qiaoyuan finally unified the world and became the founding emperor. Baihe followed the tide and became An Guogong. Under Bai Ya's persuasion, Li Shichu moved his medical clinic from Funing City to the capital and continued to be her doctor. Everything was no different from his previous life. At most, there were many fewer patients with traumatic injuries in her medical clinic. , more patients suffering from various diseases.
Li Shichu lived as a man all his life. Bai Ya probably knew her true gender later, and tried to match up her brother Bai He with Li Shichu, but Li Shichu refused. She was not interested in Bai He, her little brother, and was single. Also free.
