343 Little Ah Yu Doesn’t Want to Learn Medicine
Divine Doctor Xue was now living with the w.a.n.g family. If he wanted to take in a disciple, she naturally had to stay in their house as well.
Liang Xue also looked at w.a.n.g Dalang, her eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation that she had not noticed.
“Dalang, do you think we should get Divine Doctor Xue to take her in as his disciple?” Old Madam w.a.n.g asked again.
w.a.n.g Dalang scratched his head and was a little vexed. “Shouldn’t we ask for Divine Doctor Xue’s opinion?”
Then, w.a.n.g Dalang looked at Divine Doctor Xue and came to a realization. “Oh, are you thinking of letting Liang Xue and Divine Doctor Xue stay in my new house? That might not be good. Sure, Divine Doctor Xue can stay there. After all, he’s our family’s benefactor. But, it’s not too appropriate for Miss Liang…”
That house was meant to be his marital nest. Other than his own family, it was naturally not convenient for others to live in it.
After all, his future wife was not even here.
w.a.n.g Chuanyuan said faintly, “What’s wrong with that? In any case, you—”
Before he could finish speaking, he was knocked on the head.
w.a.n.g Chuanyuan was about to curse when he turned around and saw his mother’s face. He swallowed the rest of his words.
“I’m not too sure about the matter of taking in disciples, but if Miss Liang wants to stay with us, she can squeeze into a room with Tang Yuan. Her bed is quite big,” w.a.n.g Dalang said carefully.
For some reason, in the past few days, Grandma had always liked to let him make decisions. w.a.n.g Dalang was afraid that he would say something wrong.
His status was not low anymore.
Old Madam w.a.n.g did not agree, nor did she disagree.
Instead, it was Liang Xue who bit her lip and forced a smile. “I can build a straw shed by the side myself. There’s no need to go through so much trouble.”
Liang Xue knew that there was a maidservant in the w.a.n.g family. It was Tang Yuan.
Now, he actually wanted her to live with a maidservant?
Instead, it was Tang Yuan who took the initiative to go over and hold Liang Xue’s hand. She said with a smile, “It’s fine. The Young Master is right. My bed is huge. Even if another sister comes, we can still live in it.”
Although the w.a.n.g family’s house had been expanded, it was not built to an exaggerated extent. It could only be said to ensure that everyone had their own bed.
When there were guests in the house, the children had to squeeze together in twos and threes. Even Tang Yuan’s bed was squeezed out.
They did not realize at all that there was anything wrong with letting Liang Xue live with a maidservant.
Old Madam w.a.n.g asked Liang Xue a few more times if she was willing to live here.
Liang Xue agreed in the end.
However, Old Madam w.a.n.g told her, “On the third day of the first lunar month, you have to go back and tell your family everything that happened here. Tell them that you’re following Divine Doctor Xue here, not for any random reason. Your Liang family can’t spread any other rumors outside, let alone gossip about our Hu Family Village.”
Liang Xue’s expression was a little ugly. “Old Madam, my family won’t be like this—”
“I’m just telling you in advance. It’s best if they’re not like that.” Old Madam w.a.n.g smiled, as if what she had said earlier was really just a casual remark. “Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that our w.a.n.g Family is the most kind. Usually, as long as others don’t provoke us, we’re happy to remain on good terms with them.”
As for those who came to provoke them, they could only pray for the best.
Liang Xue nodded, already having a plan in her heart.
She could not go back to the Liang family anymore. It would be beneficial to her future if she could learn a trade skill from Divine Doctor Xue.
Even if she did not get married and followed Divine Doctor Xue as a female doctor, at least she would have a guaranteed future.
Just like that, the matter was settled. The w.a.n.g Family had another girl.
Little Ah Yu was still thinking that the new Big Sister could play with her, but she realized that this Big Sister was ordered around all day long by Divine Doctor Xue.
Just going up the mountain to pick herbs would take four to six hours a day. As soon as she returned, she would be ordered to learn how to concoct medicine. Not to mention playing with her, she did not even have time to sit down and drink water.
It was to the extent that Divine Doctor Xue asked Little Ah Yu with a smile, “Ah Yu, I see that your memory is not bad and your comprehension is quite good. Do you want to study medicine? Our Great Chang Nation doesn’t have any female scholars, but there are female Imperial Physicians.”
Little Ah Yu shook her head like a rattle drum. “No, no, I’m not learning.”
Learning medicine was so tiring.
