Chapter 143: Persuasion
Gu Shuling was also very scared when she saw that Master Bai was angry. At this time, she had forgotten her previous embarrassment. boldly stepped forward to defend the Qian family: "Uncle, in fact, you can't blame your aunt." This breakfast is something I would like to make. ”
Master Bai couldn't imagine that Gu Shuling actually had the courage to defend the Qian family, so he couldn't help but look at her deeply. Seeing the deep hope in her eyes, he sighed, shook his head, and said, "Shuling, if you call me uncle, I will treat you as my own niece." I'll make it clear to you if I have some words! ”
Hearing Master Bai's tone, Qian Shi felt bad, and as soon as she wanted to speak, she heard Gu Shuling crying on the side: "Uncle, in fact, if you don't say it, I know it." Originally, when my aunt brought me here, I had this idea, if I could marry my cousin, it would be a concubine, and in a family like you, it would be like going to heaven compared to being in my family. That's why I'm dedicated to showing my good to my aunt. But now, today, when I see my cousin and sister-in-law standing in front of me like that, I know that I am too delusional. I don't deserve my cousin at all. Uncle, my family is really difficult, my mother is not in good health, and there are several younger brothers and sisters, and my father's whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are uncertain. I really have nowhere to go. You treat me as a servant and let me have a bite to eat at your house, okay? ”
She said so pitifully that she burst into tears. Master Bai was originally a soft-hearted person. Hearing her say this, I originally wanted to send her away and let her go back, but I couldn't say it.
But, just leave a big girl at home. What does it mean? The Qian family didn't use his brain, he couldn't ignore the Bai family's reputation.
So, he thought about it. Only then did he speak: "Shuling, I see that you are also smart. Since you really have nowhere to go, and your family has to bear it, my pharmacy is short of manpower. I have several skilled doctors there, so why don't you go and learn some medicine from them. If you know some medicinal properties, you can also have a skill in the future, I don't know what you think? ”
Gu Shuling heard him mention the pharmacy. As long as Xindao still stays in the Bai family, she still has hope. So he nodded happily and said, "My mother is not in good health and has endured illness for many years. Able to learn medical skills. That's great! ”
Seeing that her words were natural, and she seemed very filial, Master Bai couldn't help but secretly regret it, but it was a pity that such a good girl had such a pitiful family background. I secretly decided in my heart that if she learned well in the pharmacy, she would let her practice medicine with her, and when the time came. If there is a suitable person, I will introduce her to one.
So he was relieved. "It's best if you're willing to learn. So, go to the pharmacy, do you want to go back and report to your parents? ”
Gu Shuling shook her head and said, "My father is nowhere to be found, and my mother is a woman, so she doesn't know anything." I went with my uncle. ”
Master Bai nodded when he heard this, but said to Qian: "Shuling went to the pharmacy to learn to be a medical woman, you go back and inform your sister-in-law!" Qian couldn't have imagined that things would change like this. As early as when Gu Shuling was crying in front of Master Bai, she felt dumbfounded. Now when he heard Master Bai say this, he nodded busily.
The atmosphere of the Great Xia Dynasty was not particularly conservative. Although most of the women also spend time in the inner house, there are also those who are cold in the house, and go out to find things to do. Of course, there are limits to what a woman can do, but a healer is one of them.
The medical skills are exquisite, the wise medical woman, and the social status is not particularly low. Because most of the people they have access to are upper-class figures. The noble ladies of the upper class have gynecological problems, and most of them ask the doctor to see them first. If you want a serious illness that can't be cured by a doctor, you will invite a formal Langzhong.
is an ordinary medical girl, but her family background is not low. Because ordinary people are illiterate at home. Therefore, those who are medical girls are either born in a medical family since childhood, or there are scholars in the family themselves. People like this may not necessarily send their daughters to study medicine. Only when the family suddenly changes, forced to be helpless, will their own girls learn medicine, have a personal skill, and go out to show their heads.
Because of this, there are very few medical women, and even fewer good medical women. In view of this, the social status of a medical woman is nobler than that of an ordinary doctor. Generally, the female relatives of wealthy and high-status families are also proud to invite medical women to go home for diagnosis and treatment.
The last time Qian invited Shen Fang to Langzhong, there was a doctor girl in Master Bai's pharmacy, and she didn't call it, but she was greedy for cheap and called Niu Qianjin, so Master Bai was even more angry. And Shen Fang's body, because it was a weak disease in the womb, had to ask the doctor to go home to see a doctor when she was at her mother's house.
Gu Shuling didn't expect that she wanted to become Bai Yingtian's concubine but was stopped by Master Bai. He would actually give himself a chance to become a medicine woman. If she had become a medical woman, she wouldn't have to be as embarrassed as she was this morning!
In the morning, facing Bai Yingtian, she could be said to feel inferior from the bottom of her bones. The embarrassment and embarrassment at that moment, she felt worse than death!
If one day, she can learn something, is she, can, in front of him, calmly raise her head. When she thought about it like this, her desire to become a doctor girl became even more urgent.
But I heard Master Bai say again: "Since you are determined to learn, you must first learn to read." Ying Tian's daughter-in-law is literate, you are like this, first go to the pharmacy with me during the day to learn to identify various herbs, and at night, let her teach you to recognize a few words. I'll give her an account of your literacy. ”
When Gu Shuling heard that she still had to go to learn literacy from Shen Fang, although she was reluctant, she still nodded: "I will follow my cousin-in-law to learn hard!" ”
Master Bai seemed to remember something, and said to the Qian family: "Linlin was also very happy to live here a while ago. You might as well tell her to come back for a while. Gu Shuling knew that he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable going to Shen Fang's yard alone, so she nodded and said, "My cousin likes my cousin very much, and she will be happy to come and play." ”
Qian felt that as soon as he arrived at Master Bai, he seemed to have only the share of obedience. Master Bai's arrangement, no matter how it is, makes sense.
This man has been with him all her life, and she never seems to have been the master with him. Every time she tried to do something, he seemed to stop her. Every time she wanted to resist, she couldn't refute him every time. What he said and did was so reasonable every time that she couldn't refute it. (To be continued......)
