Chapter 319: Lingnan Spring (Second Update)
Compared with the north, located in the south of the Lingnan Guangzhou, spring comes faster, almost just after the Spring Festival, Guangzhou has entered the spring season, the entire city of Guangzhou, in just half a month of effort has been integrated into this spring. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe weather suddenly warmed up, and the branches of the willow trees on the banks of the Pearl River swayed in the wind also sprouted. At this time, the willows on the bank of the river were blown by a gust of fresh wind, and the long willow silk gently swept the water surface, causing ripples......
In the willow forest on the bank of the river, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old suddenly flew out of the forest due to the alarm of human voices. The girl was slender and slender, with bangs in front of her dark hair. He wore a light blue short cloth coat that only female students of Lingnan Medical School would wear, white cotton socks under the knee-high black cloth skirt, and a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet. She walked to the shore with brisk steps, sat down on a sand dune, and stared blankly at the river in contemplation.
At this moment, the water of the Pearl River is slowly murmuring, and the sampans and sailboats on the river are sailing on the river as if in the past. Quiet flowing water, faint clouds, her eyes stared at the flowing water that kept passing, and she didn't move thoughtfully for a long time. She had a foreign book in her hand.
Suddenly, a pair of hands blindfolded the girl. The girl slapped it lightly with her hand and chuckled softly:
"Miss, why are you here?"
Rong Minghui let go of her hand and said with a smile.
"Wanting, what is that person doing sneaking to the river? Are you here to enjoy the scenery? Or ......"
Looking at Miss, Li Wanting smiled slightly, tilted her head and said.
"I really want to think quietly now. When I was walking that day, I took a fancy to this place, and I couldn't sleep in the afternoon, so I came running. ”
Rong Minghui, who was usually shrewd in front of outsiders, jumped like a child and sat down next to Li Wanting. He put his arm on his friend's shoulder, opened his round eyes as bright as a doll, and asked in surprise:
"Wanting, what are you thinking, thinking so mysteriously? I also want to find a quiet place, and I have to look at the river and be distracted......"
Nominally, Li Wanting is the maid ring of the Rong family, and she used to be her personal maid ring, but in fact she was Rong Minghui's playmate when she was a child, the two of them are like master and servant, but in fact they are like sisters.
Because she doesn't want Li Wanting, who is a maid, to marry an ordinary man casually in the future, let alone that she doesn't want to wronged herself, she is determined not to marry and become a "self-combing girl", there is such a woman in the Rong family. In any case, studying medicine at this Lingnan Medical School will always have a background in the future, which is better than Yahuan.
"Miss, school is about to start."
Li Wanting looked at Zhujiang, her tone was extremely unconfident.
"From this semester onwards, half a day at school and half a day at the hospital......"
The hospital she is talking about is Lingnan Hospital, there are two western hospitals in Guangzhou, one is Boji Hospital, which is famous for promoting cowpox, and the other is Lingnan Hospital, and the doctors in Lingnan Hospital have teachers and students from the medical school.
"Huh?"
Looking at Wan Ting in school uniform next to her, and looking at her simple appearance, Rong Minghui smiled.
"What, I'm afraid that some patients will say that you are immoral?"
The reason why Rong Minghui said this is because after the establishment of Lingnan Medical School last year, the governor not only asked students to accept girls, but also made this school uniform with reference to Wenshan Yishu's school uniform, which caused an uproar - because the school uniform of female students is not pants, women do not wear pants, they actually wear skirts, and their feet are exposed!
Suddenly, a group of old gentlemen went to the governor's yamen to sue the medical school for bad morals and customs, and asked to investigate the school, but the governor dealt with the matter simply, and directly came to the sentence "The girls' school uniform is run by the Han Governor himself, if you are interested, you can go to Wuchang to punish the Han Governor", such a sentence, and the thousand words of those old gentlemen were held back.
"Miss......"
With a light snort, Li Wanting looked into the distance and said.
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, I won't be able to cure the patient......"
This is the reason why Li Wanting is worried, when she was in the Rong family, the reason why she would read medical books was because her grandmother died of illness, and she always thought that if she knew medical skills, her grandmother might still be saved, so she naturally would not be rejected from going to medical school, although she studied Western medicine here.
"It's okay, it's okay, no one from Lingnan Hospital ...... anyway"
Rong Minghui said with a smile, this is also a fact, since the establishment of Lingnan Hospital, there have not been a few patients, everyone does not believe in Western medical skills, even Naboji Hospital, and most of them go to it for pox.
"If they go there, you'll be going to open your intestines like pigs or something......"
Rong Minghui laughed as she spoke, and the laughter was full of mockery, as if she was satirizing the ignorance of those foolish people.
"Miss!"
Faced with Li Wanting's dissatisfaction, Rong Minghui continued to ask curiously.
"Wanting, you guys are in that medical school, do you really understand...... Yes, a corpse was dissected? ”
"Miss!"
Another dissatisfaction, seeing that the young lady's pretty face was still smiling, knowing that the young lady was just showing this side in front of herself, thinking of the hard work of the young lady in managing the Rong family's business, and even always putting on a shrewd appearance for outsiders, the bottom of her heart suddenly felt sorry for the young lady.
"Miss, are you going to be like this, all your life for the Rong family......"
As soon as Li Wanting's words came out, she regretted it, she knew what the young lady was thinking.
"Rong Family ......"
The question of a good friend made Rong Minghui stunned for a moment, and the joy on her face disappeared.
"If it refers to those elder brothers and younger brothers, I'm afraid that within ten years, the people of the Rong family will be living on the streets, originally I have been thinking, what to do in the future, but now it's okay......"
Li Wanting stared at the young lady in a daze. Her eyes were not as big as Miss's, but they were still clear and bright, rippling with a charming luster like a lake.
"Miss, are you ready to let go?"
"No, I've been having a headache all these years, how to give the Rong family an entry, so that they don't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future, so that they won't end up on the streets? I didn't know what to do in the past, but now it's easy to do, as long as this railway is repaired, when the time comes, I will be able to put down the affairs of the Rong family? ”
"Miss, then, what will you do then?"
Li Wanting flashed her bright eyes, as if she didn't understand, looking at Wanting's worried look, Rong Minghui smiled mischievously:
"What to do? When the time comes, I will be like a bird in the sky, I can fly freely, and I don't have to think about this trivial matter anymore, God knows, I really don't want to ask about these things, it's too annoying......"
"Miss, I'm afraid ......"
Looking at Rong Minghui with wide eyes, Li Wanting said worriedly.
"When the time comes, the eldest young master, they still don't want you to leave, after all, they are all comfortable, besides, how can the railway be repaired without five or six or even seven or eight years of hard work? By then, how old are you, Miss? ”
"Hmmm......"
Rong Minghui said thoughtfully:
"Wanting, you may be right. Look at me...... Okay? When the time comes, we will be the two of us, you will be a doctor, and I will be a nurse for you - wherever you go, I will go with you. ”
Li Wanting smiled slightly:
"Can I afford a nurse like you, Miss? If people knew that the sixth lady of the Rong family was actually working as a nurse in a Western hospital, they would not have smashed the hospital's brand. ”
slapped Li Wanting lightly, and Rong Minghui's eyes widened:
"Actually, it's good to be like this, at least carefree, and you don't have to ask those worries anymore......"
Saying that, Rong Minghui showed her white teeth and a good-looking little dimple. Li Wanting also laughed, but there was some sympathy in her smile.
The two of them sat under the willow tree by the Pearl River, chatting excitedly and with some apprehension, when a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl ran towards them on a path winding in the rice field in the distance. While running, he shouted in a crisp voice:
"Miss Cousin, the third young master is looking for you!"
Seeing the Pan family's maid ring running to the river, Rong Minghui stood up gently, although she still had a smile on her face, she returned to her previous shrewdness.
"What is my cousin looking for me?"
I guess it's on the railway, and now the construction of the railway has started.
"Miss Biao, the third young master said to let you go, saying that he was discussing with you about going to Wuchang."
Going to Wuchang?
On the way back to Pan's house, Li Wanting asked with some puzzlement.
"Miss, are you going to Wuchang?"
"Hmm!"
Rong Minghui nodded, going to Wuchang was decided a year ago.
"Now the railway has started from Guangzhou, but if you want to repair it quickly, the best way is to start construction from the north, from Wuchang to Yueyang, from Yueyang to Wuchang, to Changsha to repair, so that the north and south are repaired at the same time, the speed can be much faster, is the most difficult Nanling, you can also repair both sides together, so that it can be much faster, if everything goes well, the fastest three years, maybe the railway can be repaired......"
This is the reason why they want to go to Wuchang, the construction of this railway, must be fully supported by the Governor's Office, although the Governor's Office gave them more than 10,000 flag workers, but now what they need is to build this railway as soon as possible.
As long as the railway is repaired, and there are hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels of input from the railway every year, when the time comes, she will be able to shake off her hand and never ask again, even if it is the eldest brother, I am afraid that she will not be able to say anything at that time.
Thinking of this, Rong Minghui felt a bitterness in her heart, for the eldest brother, they have never had the monthly silver in their eyes, and as for the rest, even themselves...... They never thought about it, either.
"Wuchang, I heard that there is a Wenshan Yishu there, maybe when the railway is built in the future, I can also make a train to go there, go to Wuchang to see, and see the "Race Moon" ......" (to be continued. )
