Mr. Zhou originally thought that his medical skills would have no one to inherit, but unexpectedly, he met a good seedling now.

Of course, being suitable for studying medicine requires more than just having a good memory, but this girl has more than that.

She is smart, eager to learn, and speaks like her father. After all, other girls of the same age are never like her.

Fang Nanzhi didn't know what Grandpa Zhou wanted to test her on, and tilted her head in confusion.

The only thing that made Master Zhou hesitate was: accepting a female disciple? This...

He didn't care whether his disciple was a boy or a girl. Instead, he was worried that if the little girl really learned from her, this path would be too difficult for a girl to walk, which was different from just learning to read and write.

Alas, he still has to think about it.

"Little girl, since you want to pick herbs, how about this? Come to my place to identify herbs these next two days."

Fang Nanzhi didn't know what Mr. Zhou was thinking, she was just happy that she could recognize herbs.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhou! I will come early! You must teach me more!"

It's winter now, and even if she goes up the mountain, she probably won't be able to pick anything. If she can learn something from Grandpa Zhou, things will be different when spring comes.

She has already made an agreement with her father that they will go up the mountain to collect a lot of them in the spring, and then give them all to the system, so that she can save a lot of health points for her brother!

Shi Junyan, who was standing by, had already seen what Mr. Zhou was thinking. Seeing that the little girl was only concerned with having fun, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and shook his head.

After that, Fang Nanzhi came for two consecutive days, and she memorized all the herbs that Mr. Zhou taught her, without missing a single one.

Mr. Zhou's thoughts became even more shaken.

At the dinner table, he took a bite of the new dish and found it to be sweet and sour.

"This looks like something the little girl would like to eat," he said, looking at the servants. "Ask the kitchen to make another portion of this dish this afternoon and wait for Nanzhi to come and pack it up for her."

Shi Junyan, who was standing aside, watched the servant leave and said calmly, "Do you want to accept a disciple?"

Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he thought that what he had done in the past two days was so obvious, it was normal for others to notice it.

But he didn't say anything.

Shi Junyan didn't say anything and continued eating, but Zhou Zijing beside him became curious.

"What? Grandpa wants to take that little girl as his apprentice? If she has talent, then he can. Aren't there female doctors in the palace?"

Mr. Zhou hit him with his chopsticks, looking disgusted.

"A female doctor in the Imperial Hospital is just an assistant. She'll never make it big. Her status is just slightly higher than that of a palace maid. What good is that? Your grandfather, with all his medical skills, is only worth a female doctor?"

Zhou Zijing dodged quickly: "Grandpa, I'm already so old, why are you still hitting me with chopsticks!"

"How old? I'm still your grandfather no matter how old you are!"

Old Zhou glared at his grandson. "Is it so easy for a woman to study medicine? Your father worked hard his entire life to get into the Imperial Hospital. You've seen what studying medicine is like since you were a child. Do you think it's easy?"

Zhou Zijing curled the corners of his mouth.

It was certainly not easy. Born in such a family, he started his education by studying and learning medicine. Later, he fought with his family before he was able to pursue a career in politics.

But studying or learning medicine was not easy. His father spent half his life studying before he was admitted to the Imperial Hospital. But his grandfather still felt that it was not satisfactory.

In addition to hard work, talent is also extremely important.

If it were a little girl who spent most of her life studying medicine... and had to be in public to treat patients in the future, she might not succeed.

Even if it is possible, women have to get married, and their husband's family does not want their daughter-in-law to always see other men.

hiss.

The grandfather and grandson were entangled in a dispute.

Shi Junyan had already finished his meal and stood up to take his leave.

When he reached the door, he slowly stopped and turned around.

"Mr. Zhou, why do you think Songhe Academy accepted this little girl as a student? Or did Mr. Zheng personally accept her as a student? Is it just because she is smart?"

"I think this little girl is different in other ways, even more so than many smart people."

After careful consideration, Mr. Zhou suddenly understood.

Zhou Zijing was confused: "Huh? What's the difference?"

But Shi Junyan had already left, and he became even more curious. He had not had much contact with this girl. How special must she be to make him feel special?

Elder Zhou let out a long sigh: "Just like you and Shi Junyan are different."

Mind, mind.

Shi Junyan was young, but he had a sharp eye. Look at his grandson...

Old Zhou shook his head and continued to eat with his head down. Zhou Zijing looked confused.

After dinner, Mr. Zhou made some preparations and went out to Fang Nanzhi's house.

He had figured it out. What about women? Did women definitely not have the ambition to study medicine? Didn't they want to practice medicine and save the world, even though they knew the road ahead was difficult and dangerous?

not necessarily!

Since there are women studying, women doing business, and women practicing martial arts, there must be women studying medicine!

When Fang Tong opened the door and saw that it was Mr. Zhou standing outside, he almost thought he was seeing things.

"Mr. Zhou, why are you here?"

He quickly let the person in. "I'm sorry to bother you with Zhizhi's visit these past two days. Oh, yes, are you here to see her? Just ask someone to call her next time."

Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "Yes and no, I came here specially to visit you and discuss something."

"Grandpa Zhou!"

Fang Nanzhi was reciting his lessons when he heard the noise and ran out, followed by Qin Yan, to greet Mr. Zhou.

"Grandpa Zhou, please take me to your house. I've been studying for half a day with all the homework and memorization!"

Fang Tong quickly ushered the person in: "It's cold outside, please come in, we can talk inside if you have anything to say!"

Mr. Zhou followed him and took a general look at the yard.

The yard was very clean, with almost nothing piled up in the front yard. Constant noises could be heard coming from the kitchen, which must be where the people hired for the small business were.

There was a fire burning in the room, which was much warmer than he had expected. As soon as they sat down, Qian Fengping came over with something.

"I heard that Mr. Zhou is here. We don't have the habit of drinking tea at home, and we don't have anything good to offer. There is hot milk in this bamboo tube."

As she spoke, she put down two plates containing cream cake rolls and sugar-roasted chestnuts.

Fang Tong tugged at her sleeve and said, "Why don't you sit down for a while? It's a good time to take a break. You've been busy all morning."

Qian Fengping waved her hand: "You guys talk, I'm tired, I'll sit in the kitchen for a while and rest."

She felt a little embarrassed and left quickly.

Fang Tong touched his nose and turned back: "Mr. Zhou said he had something to discuss. I wonder what it is?"

Mr. Zhou expressed his thoughts and also made clear his concerns.

"...That's it, so I think it's better for you to decide for yourselves."

Fang Nanzhi and her father looked at each other, and happened to think of the carts of jewelry they saw being pulled in at the gate of Zhou's mansion.

Both of them swallowed unconsciously.

Fang Tong came back to his senses: "This, after all, is Zhizhi's business. She has to make her own decision. What I mean is just a suggestion."

After a few contacts, Mr. Zhou already knew how much Fang Tong loved his daughter.
