308 Untitled
After Lin Suisui taught Du Yue’e, she realized that although this little girl was illiterate, she was very smart. After Lin Suisui showed her the map of the herbs, she could quickly distinguish most of the herbs.
After Lin Suisui told her about some acupuncture points, she mastered them very quickly as well.
She really had a talent for learning medicine.
Lin Suisui had an idea, but she didn’t try to impose it on her so soon. Instead, she taught her some basics of medicine. Now, she was just waiting for the day of the exam.
!!
The medical examination was arranged in the courtyard where Doctor Luo and the others lived.
Because of Pei Qian’s involvement later on, the purpose of the examination was changed from adding apprentices to the medical center to recruiting medical apprentices for the entire northern military camp.
As more people received the news, some people became tempted. Therefore, the rule was naturally changed. Anyone who wanted to learn could come and learn from Doctor Luo and the others. If they could pass the exam, they would be selected. At the very least, they could enter Rejuvenation Hall. The lucky ones would be chosen by the military’s medical officers as apprentices and wouldn’t have to worry about their livelihood for the rest of their lives.
Lin Suisui didn’t object to Pei Qian’s arrangement. After all, she knew that there was a shortage of medical officials in the military.
Therefore, when she rushed to Doctor Luo’s small courtyard with Lu Ze early in the morning, it was already crowded.
Because military doctors were coming to choose apprentices at the same time, there were many medical officers who had rushed over from the army and they were standing in the courtyard while talking to Doctor Luo. Those who wanted to take the apprentice examination were already waiting for the examination to begin in a corner of the courtyard.
“Go.” Lin Suisui patted Du Yue’e’s shoulder. As if sensing her nervousness, she suppressed her voice and encouraged her softly, “Don’t worry. As long as you stay calm, with your current knowledge, it’s impossible for you to fail.”
“Yes.” Du Yue’e took a deep breath. Thinking of how she had been taught by Lin Suisu, who had always trusted and supported her, she knew definitely couldn’t fail this time.
She bowed to Lin Suisui and turned to walk towards the crowd waiting to take the exam.
Du Yue’e’s appearance attracted the attention of many people beside her, not only were the people waiting for the exam puzzled, but even the surrounding onlookers were.
“Could it be that a little girl wants to participate in this medical test?”
“Haha, what can a little girl learn? Even if she learns it, can she treat people in public? How? Hahahaha…”
After someone started talking, the discussions became louder and more unpleasant.
Those unpleasant discussions entered Du Yue’e’s ears. However, she wasn’t as timid as before. Instead, she looked up calmly and straightened her back.
Her eyes were clear, like lake water. The smile on Lin Suisui’s face subconsciously widened when she saw how calm Du Yue’e was.
“Hey, what are you doing here? You’re embarrassing yourself!” As Du Yue’e ignored them as she stood there, a boy beside her couldn’t take it anymore. He turned around and glared at Du Yue’e in disdain. “Shouldn’t you leave?”
“I’m here to take the medical test.” Du Yue’e turned around and looked at him calmly as she replied, “Is there a problem?”
“You’re just a woman, so how can you just take the exam?” The boy was furious and he raised his voice in dissatisfaction.
“Why not? The notice posted outside only said that people who are interested in medicine can sign up. It didn’t say that women can’t participate!”
Du Yue’e knew that since she had already taken the step, there was no way she could retreat now.
If she gave up now, how could she face the Crown Princess, who had taught her so diligently previously? Moreover, what the Crown Princess had said previously was right. If she chose to study medicine, she would have to face more trouble in the future!
Previously, her family’s matter had caused a commotion that spread throughout most of Cloud Mountain City!
Her identity and past couldn’t be hidden. She had once worked in a brothel and had even contracted a disease as a result. If not for the Crown Princess’s help, she and her brother would have been lying in a mass grave outside the city!
Therefore, she couldn’t give up or disappoint the person who really cared about her!
“But you’re a woman!” For a moment, the boy was rendered speechless. He stammered for a long time before saying, “Why would a woman study medicine?”
“You look a little familiar!” Before Du Yue’e could respond to the boy’s words, someone recognized Du Yue’e. As he pointed at her, he thought for a long time before saying affirmatively, “Yes, I remember now. You’re the little girl from the Du family who was sold to a brothel by your dad and was about to die from illness!
Gosh, how dare you come here?”
Compared to the boy, the older man’s words were even more unpleasant and mean.
Moreover, his words were much more impactful than the boy’s. As soon as he spoke, everyone around him quickly retreated at least four to five steps away from Du Yue’e, as if she was a dirty thing.
“I’m not the one in the wrong. It’s those ruthless scumbags! I’ve already been cured. The county governor has already found my brother and me innocent, so what right do you have to slander me?!”
Hearing that her past had been exposed so bluntly, although Du Yue’e felt a little embarrassed, she was a little glad. Since this matter had already been announced to the public, there was nothing left for people to gossip about!
She met the gazes of the surrounding people as she replied calmly, “I registered with Doctor Luo, who agreed to let me participate in the exam!”
