Chapter 904: Save my wife, my wife is about to be forced to death by Lord Lin!
(Thanks to ivyzw for the monthly ticket~)
Mei Ruying kept the letter of appointment brought by Li Sanniang, but she did not directly agree that she would go to the Women's Medical Hall to be a teacher, she only said One sentence: "This matter is not a trivial matter. Is it possible to let me think about it for a few more days?"
Li Sanniang naturally agreed to Mei Ruying's words. After all, she did not expect to succeed in one go. .
It is not that there are no female gentlemen nowadays, but most of them are hired by aristocrats from aristocratic families to their daughters, and their teachings are nothing more than music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and embroidery, so that their daughters can marry well in the future.
In this way, a girl who married high could ask her son-in-law to support her husband.
In other words, their move is just to package the girl in the family to look more beautiful so that she can sell it to high-end customers and get a high price.
Most of these female gentlemen are married women from declining families. They need this bunch of repair money before they are hired by high-ranking families to teach the girls of other families.
The number of students studying at home is not large, usually ranging from five or six to a dozen.
Like Lu Zhu'er, there were many people in the school where she went to study at a girls' school. There were only a few twenty or thirty people in a class.
Moreover, what is taught in the school is almost the same as that in the men's school. All the six arts of the gentleman include etiquette, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and arithmetic. Except for archery and imperialism, the other four are available.
There are no two reasons in the girls' school. Because horses are rare and women are weak, the bows and arrows are indeed not something that ordinary girls can pull.
Most of the teachers in this girls’ school are older men. It’s not that there are no women. There are also a few older women who serve as teachers. Li Sanniang heard Lu Zhuer mention that they The teacher who teaches piano in the school is a female teacher.
But these two, whether it is the family education of aristocratic families or the women's school, are completely different from the women's medical school that Li Sanniang wants to build.
First of all, the students in the female medical school must be girls from all walks of life, and most of them should be civilians who want to study medicine in order to make a living in the future.
Even if you can't become a female doctor, it's still good to be a female doctor.
The students have different qualifications. What Confucius said about teaching without distinction is not acceptable to everyone in this era.
Those who can afford to read must be from a wealthy family, so that they can have enough money to support the younger generations who are not engaged in production.
As for Li Sanniang’s women’s medical school, the girls who sign up must be girls from poor families. They want to make a living in the future, which is what Li Sanniang said in the notice posted outside the door of the obstetrics and gynecology hall. , as long as you sign a contract and accept the arrangements of the obstetrics and gynecology school, then in the school, you only need to pay for food, and the training and accommodation are free.
Secondly, the tradition of the medical profession is that the master leads the apprentice, and the apprenticeship lasts a lifetime.
As the saying goes, the disciples of the church will starve to death of the masters. Not to mention doctors, it is the same for carpenters and blacksmiths.
It takes a lifetime to learn the skill of being able to have a full meal. If you can do it, most people will only pass it on to their children. How can you teach it to outsiders?
As taught in the Imperial Medical Office, if you have the understanding, you can master this skill. If you are not good at it, you will not be promoted and will spend your whole life in the ninth rank official.
And when Li Sanniang invites someone to be a teacher in the school, doesn’t it mean that she is ruining someone’s job?
Li Sanniang, a female doctor who will come out of the medical school, can pass the examination and enter the Imperial Medical Office!
A carrot and a pit, if one more female doctor enters the obstetrics and gynecology clinic, then there will be one less male doctor in the position.
This matter of building a school, if it weren’t for the fact that Li Sanniang had already become an official in the Imperial Medical Office, and was praised by Princess Taiping at the doctor exchange meeting, it was inferred that Li Sanniang was a person who was greatly protected by Emperor Wu. How can a women's medical school be established?
Li Sanniang's female medical school, in the eyes of some people, has usurped their interests.
Thirdly, medical security is something that only the upper class can enjoy before a large number of doctors are trained.
It can be said that this is a monopoly service.
If any of the doctors on duty in the palace from the Imperial Medical Office were released to the public, how useful would that be?
If you say less, you can save more than ten or twenty people a day.
But such a powerful doctor can only be used exclusively by those in the palace.
As for the women's medical school built by Li Sanniang, the skills and knowledge must be spread. If more doctors come out, the interests of the monopolist will inevitably be damaged. All of the above are all matters.
Therefore, Li Sanniang understood Mei Ruying's temporary refusal to become a teacher at the Women's Medical Hall.
Li Sanniang also thought about plan B. If we really can't recruit anyone, at the worst possible time, we can just ask the doctors in the Imperial Medical Office to take time to give classes.
In this feudal dynasty, Li Sanniang felt that it was impossible for her to accomplish something that the supreme ruler, Emperor Wu, strongly supported.
The question is, is it done well?
It has been two days since she returned from Dr. Gao, and Li Sanniang still has not received a letter from Mei Ruying agreeing to be a female teacher.
She couldn't help but sigh a little. Before she could get out all the breath, Song Fuling walked through the door slowly. She handed the letter in her hand to her anxiously: "Master, Yu Xuelian's personal maid is outside. This is the letter she handed in. There must be something wrong.”
Li Sanniang quickly took the letter and read only a few lines before she frowned and raised her head, facing Song Fuling. He ordered: "Bring the maid in, I have something to ask her."
Song Fuling responded and walked out.
Qiuxiang, who had been sitting at the table diagonally across from Li Sanniang, also stood up now. She walked over and watched Li Sanniang read ten lines at a time at a very fast speed, which was only a thin piece of letter paper.
After Li Sanniang read the letter, facing Qiuxiang’s questioning look, she directly handed the letter in her hand to Qiuxiang.
While reading the letter, Qiuxiang said in surprise: "This Yu family is too...too..."
Qiuxiang couldn't find the right words to describe it, so she opened her mouth and looked at Li Sanniang in surprise.
Li Sanniang sighed bitterly: "It's so heartbreaking that she doesn't even care about human life. After all, Xue Niang is also their own child."
The two of them just said a few words. In just a few words, Song Fuling led Yu Xuelian's maid through the door.
As soon as the maid entered the door and saw Li Sanniang, without saying a word, she bent her knees towards Li Sanniang and knelt down. "Bang bang" was the two heads. When she raised her head, the maid looked at She was only eight or nine years old, and she cried to Li Sanniang with a tearful voice: "Please Doctor Li, please save my wife, my wife is about to be forced to death by Lord Lin!"
Before Li Sanniang could get up to help the maid, Song Fuling immediately pulled the little maid up from the ground. Then, Song Fuling directly pulled out her own cloth towel and wiped the teardrops on her face.
"You kid, wait until you cry. Tell us about your wife's situation."
It took some time for the little maid to calm down. , Song Fuling handed over a cup of tea, and the little maid took it and took a sip, then said directly to Li Sanniang: "My wife has made an engagement, and she has already gone to Naji.
But my wife No, she doesn't want to get married, so she should marry in Dengzhou, which is far away from Chang'an.
The wife said that she wanted to be a female doctor like Dr. Li, but Lord Lin refused and asked the eldest lady to take charge of the wife. Get up.”
At this point, the little maid's freshly wiped tears started flowing down again. She cried and said: "It's been seven days, it's been seven days, my lady has been locked up for seven days.
The eldest lady did not allow the slave to deliver food. The slave only got this letter when she went to collect the tribute bucket.
The slave is a little girl in the lady’s yard. As soon as she got the letter, she found an opportunity. "Come out of the house."
With a "pop", the little maid knelt down again, "Please Doctor Li, please save my wife, she will really die."
Qiu Xiang said. She wouldn't let the little girl kneel down and kowtow again, so she directly grabbed the little girl's neck and lifted her up.
