I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 223 Planning for Brother and Sister

This day, Zhu Mansion.

"My illness has improved a lot, and my pulse has become much stronger.

Although there has been no disease in the past month, it does not mean that he is cured, but he still needs to take medicine and cannot stop acupuncture, but it can be changed to once every five days. "That day, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan went to Zhu's house to see the old man of the Zhu family. After Xu Qingyi checked the old man's health, he smiled and said.

"Doctor Xu, Doctor Bai, my father's illness used to flare up from time to time. The pain was unbearable when it flared up. Now it hasn't flared up for a month. Why hasn't it been cured yet? Or what happened?" asked Zhu Changwei on the side.

“Mr. Zhu’s condition has improved greatly, but it will take some time to completely cure it.

After all, this disease has troubled him for many years, and it is not easy to recover completely all at once.

Therefore, we still need to continue taking the medicine and performing acupuncture regularly until the day when acupuncture and medicine are no longer needed and the disease still does not recur, which means the patient has recovered.

Even so, you can’t eat the foods I told you not to eat before.” Xu Qingyi told the Zhu family father and son.

After hearing this, Zhu Changwei felt a little disappointed, but he also knew that Xu Qingyi was telling the truth. He nodded and said, "I understand, Doctor Xu."

"Master Zhu, can you please spare me a moment to talk?" After giving acupuncture and prescribing medicine for Mr. Zhu, Xu Qingyi made a request to Zhu Changwei.

Zhu Changwei looked at Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan, feeling somewhat puzzled, but he still nodded and motioned Xu Qingyi to follow him. The two of them came to the side hall of the Zhu Mansion, where it was quiet and undisturbed, just right for a conversation.

"Doctor Xu, Doctor Bai, do you have anything to say?" Zhu Changwei looked at Xu Qingyi and asked.

"Master Zhu, let me be frank. Bai Yan and I both have a younger brother who is ten years old and is studying. I wonder if he can enter the Imperial Academy." Xu Qingyi went straight to the point and said to Zhu Changwei.

Zhu Changwei was the chief priest of the Imperial College, in charge of the academic affairs of the Imperial College, and enjoyed a high reputation in the court. He was knowledgeable and talented, not only proficient in classics, history, and literature, but also good at calligraphy, and had unique insights in poetry and songs.

In modern times, the position of the Imperial College Chief Academician is equivalent to that of the Minister of Education.

"This, I can arrange it, but it will take some time before you can study in the Imperial College." Zhu Changwei hesitated for a moment, nodded and agreed.

If someone else came to him for help through the back door, Zhu Changwei would not agree so easily.

Zhu Changwei agreed so easily this time, not only because Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan were skilled in medicine and cured his father's illness, but also because they were highly valued by the emperor. Once they became officials, they were appointed as the sixth-rank medical officers. This honor was enough to prove that the emperor valued them. If he could make friends with them in the future, it was possible that they would support each other in the officialdom.

Zhu Changwei was thinking in his mind, but his face remained calm, and he said to Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan: "You two doctors are very skilled, and I admire you.

However, those who are admitted to the Imperial College are outstanding students from other prefectural colleges and universities and can apply to study at the Imperial College.

There are also some who are selected by the Imperial College from prefectures, states, and counties with outstanding academic performance or qualifications, and are sent to study at the Imperial College in the capital.

Some of the children of officials could directly enter the Imperial Academy to study by relying on the official positions of their fathers and brothers.

The Imperial College holds an exam every year. If you fail to pass the exam for three consecutive years, you will be asked to drop out and will not be able to continue studying at the Imperial College. Please be aware of this."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan both nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Zhu Changwei nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Since the two medical officers have agreed, I will make arrangements now. After some time, someone will come to take your brother to the Imperial College."

Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan smiled at each other, their hearts full of anticipation. They knew that being able to study at the Imperial Academy was a rare opportunity for Xu Qingwu and Bai Yun.

The Imperial College is a holy place for the imperial court to cultivate talents. Many children of officials are enrolled there, and the relationships are complicated. Being able to study there not only means that they will receive the best education, but also means that they will have the opportunity to come into contact with the core of the imperial court and many connections, laying a solid foundation for their future career.

Xu family.

“Qingping, Qing’an, I have already told Dr. Xu that you can go to the Inner City Western Medicine Clinic to study medicine tomorrow.

As for Qingwu, I have also followed Zhu Jijiu's path and said that after a while, I will arrange for you and Baiyun to study in the Imperial College. "At the dinner table, Xu Qingyi told everyone in the Xu family these two things.

"Sister, why didn't you make any arrangements for me?" Xu Qingwen asked with a pout when she heard that she was left out.

"You are still young, so just take care of Qingyun at home." Xu Qingyi smiled and picked up a piece of meat for his fourth sister.

"I have also visited the capital city in the past two days. It is very big and there are many ways to make money. Qingyi, what do you think we should do to support our family?" Xu Dafu asked his daughter.

“In my opinion, do nothing but keep it.

Or you can buy a few shops and have people run them, and Dad, Mom, and Uncle can just take care of the account books and the business situation." Xu Qingyi said indifferently.

"Then either buy one or two shops and do as Qingyi said." When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she did not object, but agreed with what Xu Qingyi said.

Mrs. Zhu became so extravagant, changing from her previous frugality, which made Xu Dafu and Xu Dafu feel that Mrs. Zhu was like a different person.

Although Mrs. Zhu loved her children very much, she was very frugal with money. As someone who had suffered a lifetime, she was reluctant to spend money.

"Mom, why are you suddenly so willing to spend money?" Xu Dafu asked curiously.

"Now that our Qingyi has been appointed by the Emperor as a sixth-rank medical officer, he is at least an official of medium rank in the capital. In the future, we will also represent Qingyi's reputation. We can no longer use the tricks we used in Qingshui Town in the capital.

Whatever we do, we must consider Qingyi's face." Da Zhu also saw it clearly and said clearly.

"Mother is right. Our Qingyi is now an official appointed by the imperial court, so naturally she must have the dignity of an official." Zhang echoed from the side, looking at Xu Qingyi with eyes full of pride and pride.

"Yes, Qingyi is a member of the imperial court now. Our every word and action must be decent and generous, and we must not embarrass Qingyi." Little Zhu also followed with a smile.

"So, it's always right for us to listen to Qingyi." Da Zhu looked at the serious and earnest expressions of the other members of the Xu family, and Xu Qingyi couldn't help but smile, her heart full of warmth. She knew that her family was thinking about her and considering her. Although she was a medical officer, she was still their daughter and their relative after all.
