125 Tang Tang wants to learn medicine from her mother
“Alright, remember not to get too emotional. Don’t let your wound come into contact with water. Don’t eat too much for the time being. Don’t eat meat or spicy food.”
Mo Ruyue quickly bandaged the man’s wound and then returned to the carriage. She said to the man, “The day after tomorrow, I’ll go to Huichun Hall in the county to give medical services. You can come with your mother then.”
After she finished speaking, she shook the reins and drove the big young mule into the village. The man’s joyful voice came from behind her, “Thank you, thank you! Divine Doctor Qin, thank you! I’ll definitely bring my mother to you for a consultation the day after tomorrow!”
Mo Ruyue didn’t look back. She had more important things to do now. It wasn’t the time to stay and listen to other people’s gratitude.
The five babies did not expect Mo Ruyue to return so early. Si Bao reacted quickly and ran directly to the kitchen. As he ran, he said, “Mother, I’ll go make you a bowl of noodles. There’s still some braised pork in the pot. We’ll have braised noodles for lunch.”
Da Bao also came back to his senses, but he said with a strange expression, “Mother, what did you encounter in the mountains? After you left, there was a pile of dead rabbits at our door, and even a big leaf full of mushrooms and wild fruits…”
He opened his mouth again as if he had something to say, but he swallowed his words when he saw the babies beside him.
Mo Ruyue knew that he must have recalled the wolf howls he had heard and wanted to ask the same question, but he was afraid of scaring his younger brothers and sisters, so he didn’t ask.
“Let’s talk about this later. I have something else to tell you later. I will go help Si Bao prepare the noodles and rush back. I haven’t eaten anything this morning.”
Mo Ruyue was not in a hurry to explain to Da Bao. After all, this matter was a little unbelievable. However, she did not intend to hide it, and there was nothing to hide.
Although Si Bao was quick, he was still not quicker than Mo Ruyue. In the end, she was the one who quickly made a bowl of pork noodles. Along with the pickled vegetables, she ate three bowls of them in a row before she felt a little full.
After the meal, Mo Ruyue didn’t rush to clean up the dishes. Instead, she soaked them in water and gathered the babies in their “classroom.”
“Mother, are we going to start class now?”
Er Bao took the initiative to ask.
Now, it was his mother who taught them every day. He originally thought that her mother had something to do today, and the class might be pushed to the evening. He didn’t expect her mother to come back so early.
“I have something to discuss with you guys before class starts.”
Mo Ruyue then told the babies about how the old imperial doctor had helped her find a teacher for initiation classes.
“Mother, what you mean is that if we accept this teacher’s enlightenment, our future path to the imperial examinations will be cut off?”
After Da Bao heard this, he frowned.
It would be a lie to say that he didn’t have the heart to get a good rank.
Success and fame, high positions and high salaries, these were the dreams of many people, and he was naturally no exception.
“Yes, that’s what Elder Tian told Mother. I don’t think he has any reason to lie to Mother.”
Although Mo Ruyue felt that Du Zhongheng was very suitable to be the babies’ teacher, she also had to consider the babies’ own wishes. If they wanted to go for an official career, she couldn’t cut off their path and future just because she felt that he was suitable.
“I’m preparing to become a chef. The imperial examination or whatever should have nothing to do with me.”
Si Bao was the first to express his stance.
“Tang Tang wants to learn medicine from Mother!”
Tang Tang was a little girl, so she naturally didn’t need to think about this problem. She still remembered her mother telling her that she could protect her family and herself after learning medicine, so now she was fully focused on learning herbal knowledge and medical skills from Mo Ruyue and was improving rapidly.
“I want to join the army in the future and be a great general!”
San Bao puffed out his chest and said proudly.
