The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 356 - 208:
"Mother, please calm down, calm down. Xiao Yin is your granddaughter whom you’ve watched grow up. She just has a sharp tongue but is not unfilial..."
If the label of ’unfilial daughter’ spreads, how can Xiao Yin find a husband?
Tang felt frustrated with her mother-in-law’s indiscreet words but dared not confront her directly. To protect her daughter’s reputation, she attempted persuasion.
"All of you, quiet down a bit."
Doctor Chen sternly admonished, "Old tiger, thinking he’s a sick cat. This matter isn’t certain yet. The Third Young Madam needs to assess whether Xiao Yin has potential before making any decisions."
"Old man, are you trying to ruin the Chen family’s girls?"
One Xiao Yin is not a concern; the Chen family has five other girls who are growing up and will need to marry.
When the time comes, aside from Xiao Yin, who would dare marry a Chen family girl?
"Women have long hair but short insight. Stop arguing about this. Listen to me. First, meet with the Third Young Madam. If she says Xiao Yin is capable, then she can learn. If not, then she should focus on getting married peacefully."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
To have reached this point, Chen Xiaoyin felt it was not easy.
She was extremely grateful, and she believed she would certainly gain favor with the Zhao family’s Third Young Madam and she could learn medicine.
Xiao Chunnuan was accepting girls to study medicine, and Aunt Luo hurriedly inquired if Daya could learn.
"Of course she can."
Daya was an earnest young girl, and these past two years, assisting in the Xiao family with pill-making, she had learned much about medicine and had also picked up quite a bit of literacy.
"Thank you, Third Young Madam."
Aunt Luo felt that since Chun Nuan was married, addressing her as Third Young Madam with her husband’s rank was appropriate.
"Aunt, you can still call me Chun Nuan." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Xiao Chunnuan found it uncomfortable to be called Zhao Third Young Madam even when returning to her parental home.
"Alright, alright, Chun Nuan, do you think Daya can learn well?"
"She can, definitely she can."
Though perhaps the name Daya should be changed.
It wouldn’t be suitable for her to be called Daya if she becomes a female doctor.
"Sigh, girls are often given names like Daya, Erya, Sanya. Names are just titles without academic significance. Not knowing what to call her, how about you, Chun Nuan, take on the task and give Daya a name?"
"Choose a name?"
This is a difficult task.
Chun Nuan contemplated, learning requires being sharp and eager to learn.
"Then she will be called Luo Min."
Sanya, knowing her name was Luo Min and able to follow Chun Nuan to study medicine, was naturally very happy.
Upon hearing that Chun Nuan was recruiting apprentices, Wu Shi also approached to ask Chun Nuan to take her daughter Meier.
"Isn’t Meier with your younger sister? Why does she want to learn medicine?"
"The maid truly desires to learn medicine."
By learning medicine with the second miss, she could create pills on her own, diagnose and treat illnesses, earn silver, and thus support the family, which would be wonderful.
Chun Nuan asked Chunyan and Chun Shu if they had any interest. They both weren’t interested but agreed for Meier to study medicine.
Also wishing to learn medicine from Chun Nuan was the youngest daughter of Doctor Zhong, the practicing doctor in the county town, Zhong Miaomiao.
Having met Chen Doctor’s granddaughter Chen Xiaoyin, Chun Nuan saw a tenacious spirit in her face, which she admired.
Indeed, Chen Xiaoyin had more ambition compared to Luo Min, Wu Mei, and Zhong Miaomiao, with a stronger desire to learn medicine and master it.
Additionally, because she had some foundation, often with a little guidance from Chun Nuan, she could grasp it comprehensively.
"Doctor Chen, given time, Chen Xiaoyin will surely become a good doctor."
Chen family’s intention to let her focus on marriage reached Chun Nuan, prompting her to quickly approach Doctor Chen to plead her case: "No matter which family Xiao Yin marries into, it would be best to allow her the freedom to learn medicine and practice, or else her talent would be wasted."
"Thank you, Third Young Madam, for recognizing her potential."
Doctor Chen had never imagined his granddaughter, who had been causing little troubles, would have such fortune.
Yes, in his eyes, gaining Xiao Chunnuan’s recognition meant she truly had talent.
Wasn’t it said that in his old age, his medical skills were still inferior to the Third Young Madam’s?
Now that Xiao Yin can apprentice in medicine, it’s indeed wonderful.
Nevertheless, Doctor Chen was smart, discreetly making an agreement with Chen Xiaoyin: she must impart all of her knowledge to the Chen family’s second grandson, Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang was under Doctor Chen’s personal guidance as his successor, but his own medical skills were quite limited, feeling the Chen family’s medical practice could not break through its constraints.
If he could learn Xiao Chunnuan’s skills, the Chen family might manage to start an apothecary in the future.
Regardless of the future, dreaming a bit and thinking along these lines isn’t a crime.
"That’s not acceptable. I can’t casually divulge the knowledge taught by my mentor."
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaoyin flatly refused.
"You naughty child, you foolish girl..."
