The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

She knew how to make rouge and face powder. When she was the general's wife, she would learn some things in her spare time. Some of the servants' skills were absolutely superb.

She never looked down on anyone, so she learned a thing or two.

After returning to the Xu family home and thinking it over, she decided to open a cosmetics shop, without advertising, and to set higher prices, taking a relaxed approach to business.

If someone wants to buy it, sell it; if no one wants to buy it, leave it.

There's no need to worry about supplying goods; she can handle it all by herself in the space.

If you have an idea, take action.

So when she was in the county, she would go out early in the morning, find a quiet place, and go directly into her space to start getting busy, preparing the kinds of things she wanted to buy.

Then she drew out the containers that needed to be filled, and gave them to Chen Yu when she had some free time, asking him to make them. Once they were made, they were placed in the shop.

She then started working on the space.

After being busy for more than ten days, Ling Silang was finally going home.

As the weather got hotter, Du Mingxian felt that Ling Silang's body had become even paler since leaving the Fang family, his face as white as a ghost.

"I wonder if Mr. Fang would like to stay at my house for a while?"

"The master has other matters to attend to and will not be coming to the house," Ling Silang explained, knowing Du Mingxian's thoughts.

Du Mingxian said no more, only feeling sorry for Ling Silang, who felt his body had become much weaker without the nourishment of spiritual water these days.

“I think if you come to Fang Daru’s place again in the future, I will bring you food every day.”

"It's nothing." Ling Silang smiled and waved his hand, leaning weakly against the carriage wall. "Tell me about what's happening outside."

"It's nothing major, it's just that the Wang family gave me a shop, and I'm planning to open a cosmetics shop."

"That's good." Ling Silang said, then coughed violently.

Du Mingxian drove the carriage and soon arrived at the city gate. Seeing his condition, she immediately turned the horse around and rushed towards Doctor Lin's clinic.

As usual, Dr. Lin took my pulse and prescribed medicine.

On her way back, Du Mingxian thought about sending an apprentice to Dr. Lin. "It's still inconvenient not having a doctor at home. How about sending one of our children over to learn medicine from Dr. Lin?"

"I'm afraid it's not an easy task. Studying medicine requires a certain affinity, and it also depends on whether the person who wants to study it has the talent."

"Bring them all over, let Dr. Lin take a look."

"That's not a good idea. If you really want to, go home and ask around before making a decision."

"it is good."

Upon arriving home, Du Mingxian still used the same excuse: Ling Silang was in poor health, and it would be better to have a doctor at home.

So Ling's mother called all her children together and asked who wanted to study medicine.

None of the children wanted to.

"Such a good opportunity, and none of you are going?" Ling's mother was quite sad; she wanted her children to go and learn.

Ling Erbao pouted, "Grandma, I definitely can't do it. I'm very careless, and treating patients is a delicate job. If I go... I'm really afraid I'll kill someone."

"Me too."

"Me too."

None of the children wanted to.

Ling's mother was both amused and exasperated, but her child had said something very true: those who study medicine cannot afford to make even the slightest mistake, as even the smallest error could cost a life.

"Alright, alright, go out and have some fun."

The children ran away, and Du Mingxian felt a little regretful. She had asked Dr. Lin for this spot, but unexpectedly, she wouldn't be able to use it.

"mother……"

Du Mingxian looked up and saw Ling Xiaomei, who had been silent all along, and cautiously asked, "Can I go study medicine?"

"You're going?" Ling's mother was very surprised.

Du Mingxian was surprised. To be honest, Ling Xiaomei was not very old. She was the same age as Du Mingxian, but three months older.

"Mother, I want to go. Even if I only learn a little bit, it can help the family, right? I don't know if I'm even capable of learning it." Ling Xiaomei was filled with anxiety.

She's been talking nonsense lately, and she doesn't want to stay at home at all. Even when she's working in the workshop, no one dares to say anything to her in front of her, but the way people look at her...

Du Mingxian quickly figured out Ling Xiaomei's intentions. Then she thought about how young Ling Xiaomei was. Even a child this young would be studying at school.

Ling Xiaomei just got married a little earlier, which is why she looks more mature than other children her age.

Ling's mother hadn't seen Ling Xiaomei's situation, but she was definitely worried. "It's not that I don't want you to go, but who is Doctor Lin? I'm just afraid you'll be mistreated if you go."

“Mother, I’m not afraid of being wronged. I also want to learn some skills.”

Only those with real ability can shut up those who gossip behind your back.

Ling's mother turned to Du Mingxian and asked, "Your younger sister is a bit older, I wonder if she'll be able to manage?"

"Okay, I'll send my little sister over tomorrow."

“We haven’t spoken with Dr. Lin yet, so we can’t just go there rashly. How about we go see Dr. Lin tomorrow first, discuss things, and then send your little sister over?”

Ling's mother was worried that Du Mingxian was certain that Dr. Lin would accept the patient, as this was the condition between them, but she had no choice but to agree to Ling's mother's request for the time being.

The next day, I went to Dr. Lin and told him about it, and recounted Ling Xiaomei's situation.

Since I'm going to become your apprentice, I can't hide my past.

After listening, Doctor Lin remained silent for a long time. He looked up, his eyes calm, and asked, "Do you really want a woman to become my servant?"

Du Mingxian felt completely baffled. "Is that not allowed? We agreed that we would have one apprentice, and we didn't specify whether it was a male or female."

"Yes, since it's a condition, whoever you send is whoever you want. But let me make this clear from the start: I won't give her any special treatment just because she's a woman."

"I trust Dr. Lin completely; he should be educated however he needs to be."

"it is good."

It's settled then that Ling Xiaomei is coming to become an apprentice.

On the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, Ling's father and mother, along with Ling's younger sister, arrived with a generous gift. This time, Du Mingxian did not come along; that was her parents' decision.

With Du Mingxian's prior arrangement, the apprenticeship ceremony went smoothly. Ling's father even specially invited Doctor Lin to dinner, but Doctor Lin didn't go in the end... A seriously injured patient came to the clinic, but there was no time.

When Ling's mother returned, her eyes were bright. She pulled Du Mingxian aside and said, "I think she looks good. My little sister has never had such bright eyes in all these years. You have no idea that the person they carried in was covered in blood."

"Dr. Lin ordered her to help, and she went to help without saying a word. I was so scared that my heart almost jumped out of my chest. I could smell the blood in my nose and I could barely stand up."

"But little sister, her eyes are bright, and she reacts very quickly to whatever Dr. Lin says."

Du Mingxian could imagine that scene, but she never expected that, after all the twists and turns, the apprentice's spot would actually be reserved for Ling Xiaomei.

That's a good thing, too.

"That's great. My younger sister is very thoughtful. Learning medicine is a good thing for both her and our family."
