So Uncle Li, there's really no need to do this. I'm optimistic about Dongqing's future, so I wanted to give him these books. I hope he can always remember his ambition and work for the well-being of the people of the world and benefit all people."
The reason why Xie Xiu said this was because he had long known that Li Dongqing actually also liked medicine.
However, since the child found out that his sister was interested in medicine and Doctor Li was unwilling to teach him everything he knew, he deliberately refused to learn medicine, forcing Doctor Li to pass on all he had learned in his life to his sister Li Banxia.
Li Banxia did not let her younger brother down. She was very smart. After learning the skills, she secretly taught them to Li Dongqing without keeping anything secret.
The reason they taught secretly was that both siblings were worried that if Doctor Li knew that Li Dongqing was interested in medicine, he would no longer want to teach Li Banxia.
However, although Li Dongqing liked medicine, he wanted to take the imperial examination and become an official more.
Although he was only eleven years old, he had already understood many things because of Doctor Li's attitude.
So at a young age, he had great ambitions.
He wanted to take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in the future, so that all women like his sister in the world could learn the skills they liked and not be looked down upon.
Doctor Li was unwilling to teach his daughter everything he knew, not because he favored boys over girls.
He was just worried that his daughter would get married when she grew up, and if she learned the Li family's secrets, she would bring them to her husband's family.
In this way, the things that the Li family's ancestors have worked hard to research will become available to outsiders.
Moreover, in this world, it is very difficult for women to practice medicine.
Once you practice medicine, you will inevitably have to go from street to street, show your face, and often go in and out of other people's homes, which will cause criticism.
Doctor Li didn't want to benefit outsiders, but he also didn't want his daughter to suffer.
Unfortunately, once children grow up, they will have their own ideas. What their parents think is good may not necessarily be what they want.
Compared with Doctor Li's inherent ideas, Li Dongqing is obviously more daring in thinking and doing.
So what Xie Xiu said to Doctor Li was not just a courtesy. He really hoped that Li Dongqing could pass the imperial examination and become an official to benefit women all over the world.
He regretted it deeply when Tu Jiaojiao was ambushed by the Xu family.
If he had not taken Li Banxia's status as an unmarried lady into consideration and invited her to his home to look after Tu Jiaojiao, how could Xu have succeeded in poisoning her?
They were about to leave for the capital, but they had no medical expertise with them. It would be best if they could invite Li Banxia to accompany them and teach Liu Ya some medical skills.
Xie Xiu smiled openly, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.
Unfortunately, Doctor Li had no idea what he was thinking at the moment, and felt extremely ashamed when he heard it.
Thinking about how he had always been so selfish and unwilling to teach his family's unique skills to outsiders, Doctor Li felt ashamed and had no face to face Xie Xiu.
But he really didn't want to pass it on to outsiders.
So he could only say with shame: "Mr. Xie has such a broad mind that I am ashamed of myself! I think with Mr. Xie's talent, he will definitely be able to pass the exam when he goes to the capital this time!
I've accepted these books on Dongqing's behalf and will certainly let him study them carefully! I also hope that everything goes smoothly for you, that you have a safe journey, and that all your wishes come true and that you get what you want!
Xie Xiu smiled and thanked him for his blessing, then personally sent him out.
Seeing Doctor Li leave with a touched look on his face, he felt a little guilty: Well... I hope Doctor Li won't be so angry that he comes to my house after knowing about that.
Probably not?
He had specifically found a shield for himself. With that person bearing Doctor Li's anger in front, Doctor Li should not suspect him.
Thinking of this, Xie Xiu went to see his daughter with peace of mind.
He hadn't seen his daughter for a quarter of an hour and missed her very much.
Doctor Li had just returned home with his books when his daughter came to greet him with a smile: "Dad, you're back? Are you tired? Are you thirsty? I've made you some tea. Would you like a cup?"
