Chapter 64: Apprenticeship

The sun is shining, the number of pedestrians on the street is gradually increasing, and the noise of the street market makes the hospital even quieter.

The old doctor didn't speak, Ning Zhao didn't have any restraint, he sat down opposite the doctor, looking at him with a smile.

The old doctor looked Ning Zhao up and down, looked back and forth, and then slowly shook his head and said, "Girl, don't be joking, if you don't feel uncomfortable, please go back." ”

"The apprenticeship is to be assessed, but the doctor has not tried it, so how do you know that I can't do it?" Ning Zhao's smile was still the same.

The old doctor ignored her words, got up and made a gesture of please, and began to drive people away, "Girl, please." ”

Knowing that this old lady didn't understand human feelings, but after trying it himself, Ning Zhao knew how old-fashioned this person was, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't it that the doctor thinks that I am a woman, and I think that I am not worthy of studying medicine and doing good, so I treat me like this, right?" ”

Seeing her so unrelenting, the old lady doctor frowned and said unhappily: "The old man never thinks that women should study medicine, there are so many female doctors in the past, and there are also doctors in the palace." ”

"In that case, why should the doctor rush me away?" Ning Zhao said: "Since everyone is treated equally, then why not let me give it a try?" ”

There were two questions in a row, so that the old doctor had nothing to say, however, although he did not look down on women studying medicine, he still wanted to accept a male disciple in his heart.

was stirred up by Ning Zhao like this, if he didn't agree to Ning Zhao to give it a try, he would be a little too late.

"Okay." The old doctor pondered for a moment, and said, "It's okay to give it a try, but I can say ugly things ahead, and if the girl can't meet my requirements, don't mess around in the future." ”

"It's a deal!" Ning Zhao is not afraid to give it a try, what she is worried about is that the old doctor has a conservative concept and is unwilling to give her a chance to be assessed.

As soon as the words fell, the old doctor just wanted to find something to send Ning Zhao away, and at this moment, a middle-aged woman in plain clothes hurriedly came in at the door of the medical hall, holding a baby in her arms.

"Doctor! Doctor, help! Come and save my child! As soon as the middle-aged woman entered the door, she knelt straight down towards the old doctor, and she was so miserable.

Looking at the child in her arms again, her face was already purple, and her crying was gone, and if you looked closely, you could see a slight twitch.

Seeing this, Ning Zhao's eyes rolled, and then he hurriedly stepped forward, helped the middle-aged woman, and said, "Eldest sister, hurry up, it's important to see the child." ”

The old doctor's reaction was a beat slower, and he was preempted by Ning Zhao, he looked at the child, who had practiced medicine in the palace for many years, and he probably knew what the problem was just by looking at the characteristics.

Pediatric convulsions, this disease is not big or small, it is a common pediatric disease.

However, although it is common, it must be treated in time, and if it is delayed, I am afraid that the medicine stone will not work.

Thinking of this, the old doctor just wanted to stop Ning Zhao, don't joke with her life, if she delays the hour, she can't afford to pay for it. But before the words could be spoken, he was forcibly blocked by Ning Zhao's movements.

"Eldest sister, don't worry, leave the child to me." As he spoke, Ning Zhao took the child from the middle-aged woman's hand and neatly untied the swaddling clothes that wrapped the child.

Children around the age of one, with small bodies, can only see a small face at first, which will unwrap their clothes and expose their entire small body to the air.

Maybe it was a little cold, the child convulsed a little more, and the middle-aged woman stood on the side, tears streaming down her eyes.

Children's convulsions, mostly manifested as fever, convulsions, convulsions, the child's symptoms are all consistent, Ning Zhao immediately took out the acupuncture he carried with him, and found the child's pulse and foot syncope Yin meridian acupoints are two needles, and then punctured and bloodlet along the large vertebra and Shixuan.

Ning Zhao moved the needle casually, and the old doctor just wanted to drink it, but Ning Zhao moved too fast, and the needle had already been injected in a few words.

What's even more amazing is that after just these few stitches, the child's convulsions have improved with the naked eye!

The middle-aged woman's face was full of surprise, she raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, and thanked Ning Zhao for her kindness.

Ning Zhao raised his hand to stop her and said, "A child's convulsion can't be cured with a few stitches. ”

As she spoke, she walked to the medicine cabinet without seeing anything, grabbed Houttuynia cordata, yellow vitex, and hook vine and packed them, handed them to the middle-aged woman, and said: "This medicine is boiled to remove the slag and give it to the child, and then come back when the symptoms are stable, I will prescribe a conditioning prescription for him, as long as he insists on taking the medicine and is not sick for more than a month, he can stop taking the medicine." ”

The middle-aged woman looked at the medicine handed to her eyes, and her face was bitter.

Seeing this, Ning Zhao instantly understood, took the middle-aged woman's hand, stuffed the medicine directly into her hand, and said with a smile: "The child's illness is important, I will give this medicine to the eldest sister, take it." ”

"W-How can this be done?" The middle-aged woman looked at Ning Zhao in surprise, and quickly shook her head.

Ning Zhao turned around and picked up the silver needle, dressed the child, hugged it back to the middle-aged woman, and said with a smile: "I am also related to this child, and the eldest sister does not need to be polite." ”

The middle-aged woman took the child, bowed to Ning Zhao gratefully, Ning Zhao smiled gently, and sent the person out of the hospital.

"You're generous." When the person left, the old doctor opened his mouth quietly.

Hearing this, Ning Zhao walked back, took out a few taels of silver from his wallet and handed it to the old doctor, and said with a smile: "These should be enough for this child's future medicine expenses, so the doctor will accept it." ”

"Hmph, who am you and me?" Seeing the silver in front of him, the corners of the old doctor's mouth twitched, and he said unhappily: "The benevolence of a practitioner and a doctor, how can these taels of silver be compared?" ”

Hearing this, Ning Zhao smiled, took back the silver taels, and praised: "The doctor is benevolent, but the little woman is shallow." ”

When the old doctor heard this, his face became better.

Ning Zhao sat back in his seat, followed the words of the two before, and said, "Doctor, have you figured out how to test me?" ”

With the previous hand, the old doctor was also impressed by Ning Zhao, and now he heard her take the initiative to mention the assessment, and he couldn't help but appreciate it even more.

Already knowing in his heart, the old doctor gave up the idea of wanting Ning Zhao to retreat, and came up with a few simple pharmacological knowledge.

Ning Zhao answered fluently, and passed the assessment smoothly.

"Hmm." The old doctor stroked his beard, his eyebrows were dyed with a smile, and he nodded: "Yes, at your age, it is very rare for you to have such attainments in medical skills." ”

"Then the master is willing to accept Ning Zhao as an apprentice?" Ning Zhao's eyes lit up, and it was logical to change his words.

This master, the old doctor called was very comfortable, couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "The old man has countless disciples in his life, and I never thought that I would meet such good seedlings in my later years." ”

After that, he looked at Ning Zhao seriously, and spoke again: "Old man Meng Sui, today I will accept Ning Zhao as a closed disciple, and in the future, the disciple Ning Zhao needs to respect the teacher, make good use of medical skills, hang the pot to help the world, and save the life and help the wounded." ”

Ning Zhao stood up, respectfully bowed to Meng Sui, and said seriously: "The disciple will obey the master's orders and will definitely live up to the master's high expectations!" ”

Since he has been commensurate with master and apprentice, Ning Zhao's identity cannot be hidden from Meng Sui, at first hearing that she is the daughter of a servant, Meng Sui was also surprised, and then slowly accepted it.

The matter of apprenticeship was settled, and Ning Zhao said that he would start studying medicine tomorrow, so he went straight back to the Taifu Mansion.
