“If Lord Changxin wants to test the poison, you might as well try a different prescription. This medicine was specially prepared for that child; if an ordinary person drinks it… it might be too much for them.”
Nian Duan didn't even lift his eyelids, and spoke softly.
"cough……"
Ying Jinggang's outstretched hand fell naturally to the table, showing no sign of embarrassment: "Master Nian Duan, have you been settling in well these past few days?"
Quite unusually, a faint smile appeared on Nian Duan's face at this moment.
"Changxin-jun's arrangements are very appropriate."
"Especially these portable and easily replicable medical books play a significant role in the inheritance of our medical traditions."
Master Nian Duan had been living a secluded life in the mountains for many years, but his experiences in Hanoi during this time had enriched his life considerably.
"Although I am not a good person, I would not stoop so low as to deceive Master Nian Duan."
"With the skills of papermaking and printing, medical classics will not be lost. If they are passed down from generation to generation, one day we will see the great prosperity of medicine!"
Jing Dashanren is making empty promises again.
"Doctors cannot rely solely on what they have learned from medical books to treat and save lives. In order to make accurate judgments, they need rich experience in diagnosis and treatment."
Nian Duan wasn't as easily fooled as Yan Lingji, but he did nod at this moment: "However, having such a medical classic is indeed a great blessing for the medical community."
As he spoke, Master Nian Duan placed the medical book in his hand on the table and stood up to bow to Ying Jing.
"Lord Changxin's merit will be passed down through the ages and can save millions of lives!"
Although addressed as Lord Changxin, this was a greeting unrelated to status, but rather a heartfelt expression of gratitude and respect.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Duanmu Rong appeared at the doorway, carrying a pile of medicinal herbs in her arms. The herbs resembled He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum).
A series of little girls ran between Ying Jing and Master Nian Duan, their faces contorted with anger as they glared at Ying Jing.
She had no good impression of Changxin-kun, who had disrupted her and her master's peaceful life through coercion.
"Is this bad guy bullying you again?"
Duanmu Rong stood in front of Nian Duan, her face resolute.
"Rong'er, don't be rude. Lord Changxin is a good person. Master is just thanking Lord Changxin for his great contributions."
Nian Duan felt somewhat relieved, but also somewhat amused and exasperated.
Such a solemn expression of gratitude was ruined by this girl.
Duanmu Rong didn't quite understand Nian Duan's words, but she realized it was a misunderstanding, and a blush immediately rose on her fair and pure face.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Changxin."
She also had to admit that the novel things she saw after arriving in Hanoi were indeed a huge shock to her life over the past ten years.
But before she could finish speaking, a green shadow suddenly darted out from the pile of herbs, startling her so much that she screamed and flung her hand away.
But then a "He Shou Wu" suddenly darted out from the pile of medicinal herbs and snapped off the warm jade pendant at Ying Jing's waist.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I've disturbed Lord Changxin!"
The little girl blushed and lowered her head. This was a mechanical snake that the Gongshu family disciple had given her because she was cute, but he never expected it to cause such a mess.
Even Nian Duan could no longer remain calm. She hurriedly bowed and said, "Rong'er is naughty, please forgive her, Lord Changxin!"
"Rong'er, hurry up and return that jade to Lord Changxin!"
Ying Jing could have easily dodged it; it was just a mechanical snake toy and there was no need for it.
"It's alright, it's just a piece of jade, let her have it for her amusement."
Ying Jing didn't take Duanmu Rong's offense to heart; after all, she was just a little girl.
If we were to pursue a young girl over such a trivial matter, wouldn't it make Lord Changxin seem petty and narrow-minded?
“Miss Duanmu, there’s no need for such formality. Master Nian Duan, there’s no need for such politeness either. I’m just acting according to my conscience, and I don’t deserve such a grand gesture.”
Ying Jing chuckled lightly, indicating that he didn't care.
But suddenly, he changed the subject and glanced at Duanmu Rong with a slight smile.
"If Master Nianduan is so inclined, he might as well take on more disciples and pass on his medical skills to more people."
That's right, Lord Changxin is just that vengeful!
Since the little girl cares so much about her master, then Changxin Jun will share Master Nianduan with more people to become his masters!
Duanmu Rong's face immediately turned green, and she looked at Nian Duan with a nervous expression.
The little girl had been living with Master Nian Duan since she was a child. She was forced to come to Hanoi, but she never thought that her master could be taken away by someone else!
Master Nian Duan, however, fell into deep thought.
Now that she's already in Hanoi, whether forced or voluntary, she has to admit that the promises made by Lord Chōshin are very grand and appealing.
With so many medical books available, she indeed saw the potential for a great flourishing of medicine.
If we can take on more disciples and train more healers, that would be a contribution to the growth of the medical profession.
After all, the two of them—master and apprentice—are far from enough to expand the medical community and save lives.
Nian Duan glanced at Duanmu Rong, whose expression kept changing, and found it amusing.
This Lord Changxin is sometimes domineering and forceful, and sometimes gentle and refined, but who would have thought that he also has such a playful side, teasing children.
"Our family of doctors has passed down the knowledge of saving lives, and we have high requirements for our disciples."
“I have been raising Rong’er since she was a child, and now I can barely get her to treat patients under my care. I wonder if Lord Changxin has any brilliant ideas?”
Nian Duan did not refuse, but was still somewhat hesitant.
Medicine is the art of healing and saving lives, and it is mostly passed down from one lineage. It's not that we don't want to take on more disciples, but the transmission of knowledge is indeed difficult.
Those medical books alone are not enough; qualifications, experience, and character are all quite crucial.
If a disciple is not skilled enough and causes a patient to die, or if the disciple deliberately causes a patient to die for profit, it will only tarnish the reputation of the medical profession.
Most medical practitioners find disciples during their medical practice and carefully train them from a young age. Only when their medical skills reach a certain standard will they allow them to accumulate experience in diagnosing and treating patients under their care.
However, this requires a huge amount of effort from learning to read to becoming a master.
Even a master physician like Nian Duan has only trained one disciple over the years.
The principle of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in accepting apprentices is to value quality over quantity.
Ying Jing could understand the high standards that physicians set for themselves.
A doctor can save a life or cause a death; a quack doctor is of no benefit to the patient and will only harm them.
However, Ying Jing still had great confidence in the girls that Zi Nu had personally trained.
Ying Jing smiled faintly, without showing his teeth, and said, "I happen to have some unfortunate people here who know about the meridians, pulse, and acupoints of the human body, and also have some knowledge of pharmacology. I think... they are just what Master Nian Duan is looking for."
Nian Duan smiled faintly. She was an old hand at this world; she knew from the beginning that Lord Changxin must have had an ulterior motive.
However, we should indeed repay Lord Changxin's help, and if everything is as Lord Changxin said, it would be a good thing for the medical community.
