The resentful best friend travels through daily life
Chapter 123: Complete Characters
Shen You whispered loudly, "Why does this person speak so strangely, as if..."
It seems like the tone of a palace drama.
"It feels like I've been in the palace." Zhou Ning responded.
Yuan Shang widened his eyes slightly and said, "Young lady, how do you know that my ancestor was an imperial physician? My ancestor..."
Shen You widened her eyes, opened her mouth slightly, and looked at Zhou Ning. No way, you can even guess this? With such luck, you should buy a few scratch tickets.
Zhou Ning stopped him and said, "First of all, I didn't say that, you said it yourself. Secondly, tell me, what made your ancestors so great?"
As soon as this man got older, he loved to brag about his own glorious achievements. If he was capable, he would talk about himself, if his father was capable, he would talk about his father, and if he was really not capable, he could trace his ancestors back eighteen generations.
However, in this situation, Zhou Ning really needs him to tell her everything about his family background.
Yuan Shang looked around and saw that there was no one around. He said, "My ancestor was Yuan Jian, the imperial physician of the previous dynasty. After the establishment of this dynasty, my ancestor went to Mengzhou, multiplied and formed a tribe. Therefore, everyone in our tribe knows some medical skills."
"Do you know some? How much?" Zhou Ning asked.
Yuan Shang didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he asked: "If your ancestors' medical skills are this great, and the rural doctors are this great, then how great are your medical skills?"
Shen You first stretched out his arms, and then measured the nail of his little finger.
"Then it's probably..." Yuan Shang hesitantly spread out his arms and said, "This big."
Zhou Ning nodded with satisfaction and said, "You know so many, so your ancestors must have left you a lot of good things."
Yuan Shang said: "Yes, our ancestors left behind many medical books, many of which have been lost. It's just that the people of my clan are clumsy by nature and have not been able to appreciate the mysteries contained therein."
"Do girls in your tribe study medicine?" Zhou Ning suddenly asked.
Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "Although there is no one in my clan who can compare with our ancestors, as long as you know a little bit, you can be considered a good doctor. The art of Qi Huang is very delicate and must not be learned by outsiders. Therefore, in order to prevent women from marrying out and taking away the medical skills, we generally do not teach women in our clan to learn medicine."
"Average? What if it's not average?" Zhou Ning asked lazily, hugging his chest and leaning against a tree.
Yuan Shang did not show any dissatisfaction because Zhou Ning asked too many questions. After all, they were starving to death, so he did not care about anything else. He said, "There is another situation, that is, the girls in the tribe have made a marriage contract with the boys in the tribe early on, and even if there is an accident in the middle, such as the boy died or became disabled, the girl cannot remarry and will be a member of our tribe for life. In this case, she can be taught medicine. My daughter is in this situation."
"Your daughter? How old is she?" Shen You asked curiously.
Yuan Shang replied, "Nine years old."
Only nine years old?
Shen You was shocked, but this was someone else's family background and he didn't understand it, so it would be better not to get involved.
Zhou Ning looked up at Yuan Shang and said, "You are a smart man. I don't know how you found out that I can save you, but I am willing to cooperate with you."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shang immediately bowed and said, "Thank you very much, young lady. If you can help my people get through this difficult time, I will definitely sacrifice my life for you."
"I have conditions."
Yuan Shang smiled and said, "Of course, young lady, just ask."
"First, those medical books you mentioned, as well as the medical skills handed down from generation to generation, in short, everything about medical skills in your tribe, must be taught to me."
"Okay, I will do it without reservation." This was within Yuan Shang's expectations.
"Second, you have to sign a contract to sell yourself for five years, and it must be a death contract. If you, the tribesmen, sign a living contract, it will also be five years."
Yuan Shang hesitated for a moment. If he signed this kind of indenture, neither his sons nor his grandsons would be able to take the imperial examinations. Forget it, he didn't have a son yet, so he might as well stay alive first.
As for the tribesmen, they can be redeemed by paying money. Five years should be enough.
"Okay." Yuan Shang thought it would only be five years anyway.
"Third, I will open a clinic in the future. I need doctors, and I need many female doctors. So, I hope that the women in your tribe can also study medicine and become my female doctors."
"This..." Yuan Shang hesitated, fearing that his clan members would not agree to this.
Zhou Ning noticed that he was hesitating, so she said, "Is it not possible? If not, forget it. I'm not forcing you to do that."
After saying that, he pulled Shen You and was about to leave.
"I agree, I agree. Please wait a moment. I will go back and tell my tribesmen. Please wait a moment." After saying that, he ran away immediately as if he was afraid that Zhou Ning would go back on his word.
Shen You bumped into Zhou Ning and said with a smile, "Sure, you can. This way you will have staff for your clinic. When the disaster eases a little, you can open your own clinic. By then, you can open five, six, seven or eight more and make it a top-level clinic."
Zhou Ning smiled slightly, and said nothing, just looking at Shen You. Shen You felt uneasy when being looked at, and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"How is it going between you and Qi Ji? Has he confessed his feelings, or is he lying? Don't lie to me. From childhood to adulthood, I have never been able to hide any lies you told me." Zhou Ning raised his eyebrows.
Shen You looked at Zhou Ning speechlessly, then took Zhou Ning's arm and said, "My dear Ning, how could I lie to you? Qi Ji said that this was the first time he encountered such a situation and he didn't know what to do. I guess if it was you at that time, he would have reacted the same way."
"Really?" Zhou Ning shook her head and said, "I don't believe it. Otherwise, I'll go and try it right now to see if he will blush."
"Ningning, okay Ningning, don't go. It's already quite embarrassing. I actually don't have that kind of idea about him. In my eyes, he is just a little boy who hasn't grown up. Although sometimes, his face and figure are quite attractive, but, but I know how old I am. I won't be that beastly. Even if I want to do it, he has to grow up a little..." As Shen You said this, his thoughts became more and more distracted.
Zhou Ning interrupted her and said, "Actually, he is fourteen, and you...you too, right? Actually, I don't think there is anything wrong, but you just need to know when to stop, okay?"
Just as the two were talking more and more obliquely, Yuan Shang arrived with his clansmen. Zhou Ning looked at the group of people, there were about thirty of them, half of them were young and strong, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled... No, wait, how come there's a pregnant one?
Zhou Ning took a step forward and grabbed the woman's hand. The woman subconsciously tried to break free, but she was too hungry to break free and couldn't.
Zhou Ning diagnosed that the woman was indeed five months pregnant, and then looked at Yuan Shang in shock.
Yuan Shang sighed and said, "It's not that we want to, it's just that this child is too stubborn. Weak abortion pills can't get rid of it, and strong ones will hurt her body."
