Chapter 127: Teaching and Apprenticeship
“Okay, when I recruit disciples, I’ll make a note of it and notify the Qingshui Town Clinic.
By then, on the seventh day of the first lunar month next year, let them go to the clinic with you to learn medicine and make pharmacy.
As for whether you want them to study medicine with that doctor, you can make your own arrangements, or you can take care of them yourself." Shopkeeper Zhou knew that Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan had a good relationship, but he didn't expect Bai Yan to give up this position so easily.
Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but admire Bai Yan's generosity and broad-mindedness. He knew that Xu Qingyi was a close friend to Bai Yan.
Under such a relationship, Bai Yan was able to so generously give this opportunity to Xu Qingyi, which was enough to show how much she valued friendship and affection.
Shopkeeper Zhou thought that perhaps this was the emotional bond between Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan, allowing them to work together and support each other no matter what difficulties and challenges they faced.
"Okay, next year I will bring my brother and sister-in-law to the county clinic to study medicine and make pharmacy." Xu Qingyi nodded, indicating that he understood.
However, there was no need to say thank you between her and Bai Yan. Saying thank you would have already made the relationship distant.
"Thank you, Manager Zhou." Bai Yan smiled slightly to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Shopkeeper Zhou replied.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Manager Zhou left. Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan went back to their room. When they were packing up, they saw Zilin, Wu Yao and Hou Chuan coming.
"Congratulations, Qingyi and Baiyan, you two have passed the assessment for prospective doctors." Zilin held Xu Qingyi and Baiyan's arms in a familiar manner, and he did not feel any strangeness towards them after they passed the examination for prospective doctors.
As for Hou Chuan and Wu Yao, they avoided suspicion and did not enter their room. They just stood outside the room to congratulate Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.
"With what you and Hou Chuan have learned, it's only a matter of time before you pass the exam to become a doctor." Bai Yan said with a smile.
"We are far behind you and Wu Yao. If Hou Chuan wants to pass the examination for prospective doctors, he may be faster than me. As for me, I am afraid it will take another two or three years.
Qingyi, Baiyan, can I study medicine with you?" Zilin shook his head.
Zi Lin came here today not only to congratulate Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan on their promotion to prospective doctors, but also because he wanted to learn medicine from them.
She also knew the abilities of Qingyi and Baiyan. Their medical skills were not much inferior to those of Doctor Zhou, Doctor Cheng, and Doctor Liang. More importantly, when learning medicine from them, not only would they not keep the knowledge to themselves, but they would also teach them everything they knew.
Before, it was because Qingyi and Baiyan, like himself, were disciples and were not qualified to teach. But after they were promoted to quasi-doctors, Zilin thought of learning medicine from them.
Such an opportunity is really rare for Zilin.
"Why not? I can just say hello to Doctor Huang when the time comes." Xu Qingyi nodded.
"Senior Brother Wu, now that you have passed the exam to become a qualified doctor, you will be having good luck soon!" Bai Yan teased Wu Yao.
"We are already going through the three books and six betrothal procedures, and if nothing goes wrong we will be able to get married early next year.
But, I am not the only one who is about to have good things happen to me, right?" Wu Yao said at the end, he looked at Zi Lin and Hou Chuan and said with a smile.
"Oh my! How come we didn't even know when you two got together? You're really not being conspicuous!
Are you engaged now?" After hearing what Wu Yao said, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan finally reacted. They really didn't notice the strangeness between Hou Chuan and Zi Lin.
Zilin is two years older than Xu Qingyi and Baiyan. He is very active this year, so he matches Houchuan in age. In addition, they both studied medicine and pharmacy, and they both came from Qingshui Town together. After being together for so long, it is inevitable that they will fall in love.
"My family is also going through the three books and six betrothal procedures. If nothing goes wrong, the wedding will be held either at the end of this year or the beginning of next year." Hou Chuan scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.
As for Zilin, her face flushed and she looked a little shy.
"You have all found your own homes. As a friend, I am sincerely happy for you." Bai Yan said with a smile.
Xu Qingyi said with emotion: "When the five of us came out of Qingshui Town together, I didn't expect that the three of you would start your own families. Time really flies."
"Brother Wu, you have now passed the assessment for a quasi-doctor in the city. Once you are promoted to a doctor in the future, you can go to the city to practice medicine.
Are you planning to be promoted to a doctor as soon as possible and go to the capital to practice medicine? Or do you have other plans?" Xu Qingyi asked when he thought of this.
“I will be promoted to doctor as soon as possible and go to the capital to practice medicine.
Wen'er's family still has some connections in the capital city, and I don't want to waste them. Besides, practicing medicine in the capital city will allow me to come into contact with more cases and improve my medical skills.
After arriving in the provincial capital, there may be opportunities to go to the capital to practice medicine, or even further.
Qingyi, Baiyan, what are your plans?" Senior Brother Wu said with a firm look in his eyes.
"Qingyi and I plan to complete the promotion to doctor as soon as possible. At the earliest, it will be next year, and at the latest, the beginning of the year after. We will definitely go to the capital.
Doctor Ye told us that in three years, there will be a medical competition between Huichun Clinic and Miaoshou Clinic.
If one can perform well or rank among the top in the competition, one will have the opportunity to practice medicine in the capital, and then be qualified to participate in the imperial hospital assessment and become an official.
As long as you hold a position of some kind, it will bring honor to your family in the future, so you can't miss the medical competition in three years." Bai Yan reminded Wu Yaodao with a smile.
“So, Hou Chuan and I wanted to learn medicine and pharmacy from Qing Yi and Bai Yan.
How should I put it? When I was studying medicine next to Dr. Huang, I always felt like there was a layer of separation. Sometimes what she said to us was a little difficult to understand, not as easy to understand as what you said, Qingyi.
There aren't many opportunities to practice.
Therefore, we both hope to learn more, so that we can pass the examination for the candidate doctor in the prefectural city, and then we can go to the prefectural city to practice medicine together, and then we can walk side by side. "Zilin also said with some thoughts.
“I don’t have any hope for the medical competition three years later, I will be thankful to God that I can practice medicine in the capital.
So, Qingyi, Baiyan, we will learn from you in the future, you should teach us more skills, don't keep them for yourself." Hou Chuan, Xu Qingyi and Baiyan joked.
Hou Chuan knew the personalities of Qingyi and Baiyan, so he dared to make a joke. If it were someone else, he would not dare to say that.
"Okay, we will teach you carefully and will not keep anything for ourselves. You can learn as much as you can in this year.
Also, please write down the questions you don’t understand during your day, and I will answer them for you in the evening.
In addition, Bai Yan and I will take turns to teach you every night, and we will strive to train both of you to become masters within a year. "Xu Qingyi waved his hand, as if to leave it to me.
"Thank you, Qingyi."
