"Don't worry, Fourth Sister. I don't blame anyone." If she failed the exam, she might as well die again.
She once graduated from the Women's College with the first place. Could it be that she had improved in a medical hall?
Fourth Miss Lu was speechless with anger at Ye Zhen's ignorance. Where did this wild girl from the Border Town get her confidence? Did she not know the immensity of heaven and earth, or did she really think that the capital was the same as the Border Town, where she could do whatever she wanted?
Not seeing the inferiority and weakness she wanted in Ye Zhen, Fourth Miss Lu felt that everything was wrong. Leaving behind a sentence, she left with her maid in a huff.
"Fourth Miss Lu's temper is getting worse." Dai Mei whispered beside Ye Zhen.
"Those who think of themselves as talented women have a bit of a strange temper." She never thought of herself as a talented woman, she wanted to be a beautiful woman.
When Ye Zhen came to Pei Shi's courtyard, Pei Shi was sorting out the medical books she had brought back from the Border Town. When she saw her daughter coming, she smiled and asked Ye Zhen to sit beside her. "Did you just come out from the old lady's place?"
"Yes, Mother." Ye Zhen was more cautious in front of Pei Shi. She was not Lu Yaoyao, and her every move would arouse Pei Shi's suspicion. "Grandmother said she would take us to the flower party in a few days."
Pei Shi smiled and looked at her daughter, who was already slim and graceful. "Well, then let's go and see, but you have to control your temper. The capital is not the Border Town. You can't do whatever you want."
Ye Zhen nodded obediently. "Mother, is your daughter a wild girl in your mind?"
"When you were in the Border Town, you were not wild. You didn't touch home all day." Pei Shi chuckled.
"I know that the capital is not the Border Town. I will be obedient in the future." Ye Zhen said, picking up a medical book and reading it. She didn't know if it was because of Lu Yaoyao's memory, but she was able to understand these obscure medical theories easily. Many pharmacological knowledge that she had never learned before appeared in her mind.
Pei Shi saw her focused on the medical book and smiled without speaking.
Ye Zhen looked up from the book for a long time. "Mother, can I take these books back and read them?"
"Oh, Yao Yao, you have really changed. Before, when I let you read these books, you said you had a headache and your eyes hurt. Why do you want to read them today?" Pei Shi asked in surprise.
"Grandmother wants me to go to the Women's College. After thinking about it, only the medical school is the most suitable for me."
Pei Shi's expression froze. She put down the book in her hand and looked at Ye Zhen. "Yao Yao, did the old madam ask you to go, or did you want to go?"
"I want to go too." Ye Zhen whispered.
"The Women's College is not a private school in the Border Town. Yao Yao, I have not restrained you since you were a child. You can learn whatever you want, but the Women's College is different. I am afraid you will not be used to it." Pei Shi sighed softly, thinking that her daughter regarded going to the Women's College as a pleasure trip.
Ye Zhen said, "Mother, we probably won't go back to the Border Town in the future. Eldest brother is now an assistant minister of the Ministry of War and will certainly continue to be promoted in the future. Fourth brother will also enter the imperial examination in the future. I can't be like a wild girl who only cares about eating, drinking, and having fun all day long. I am already fifteen years old. It is impossible for me to learn the four arts like a twelve-year-old girl. I have studied medicine with you since I was a child. It is most appropriate to go to the medical school. If I have a promising future in the future, I can even be a female medical officer."
Pei Shi was secretly surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect her daughter to have such insight after coming to the capital for such a short time. She asked in a deep voice, "Did anyone say anything to you?"
Ye Zhen's heart skipped a beat. She had forgotten that Lu Yaoyao was originally careless. How could she think so much? She whispered, "No one said anything to me. It's just … when I see my second sister and fourth sister, I feel a little out of place."
Pei Shi laughed. Only with comparison can one know one's shortcomings. "It's good that you want to go to the medical school. It's just that the entrance exam for the Women's College is not easy. You didn't like to learn those things since you were a child. What if you can't get in?"
"It's no big deal if I can't get in. This exam is originally 40% hard work and 60% luck. Isn't there still half a month before the exam? I'll study hard these days. "Ye Zhen said charmingly," Mother, didn't you say I was smart before? I'm sure I will learn as soon as I learn. "
Pei Shi nodded. "I'll find you a teacher. You have to work hard to learn."
Ye Zhen happily hugged Pei Shi's arm. "Thank you, mother."
"How old are you? Still acting like a child." Pei Shi glanced at her. "If you want to read these books, let someone take them back. Vacate the east wing as a study. You can read there in the future."
"Good." What Ye Zhen needed most now was to read more medical books. Although she had Lu Yaoyao's memory, she didn't know much about medicine.
It seemed that Lu Yaoyao wasn't very interested in medicine in the past.
Pei Shi was a doer. Today, she said that she would find a female teacher for Ye Zhen. Before it was dark, she had already found a candidate.
It was said that the teacher from the Women's College used to be a teacher. Because of his disagreement with his boss, he resigned from the college and preferred to be a teacher. Although this female teacher was not in the college, she was still famous. Many madams of aristocratic families wanted to invite her to be a teacher.
Ye Zhen felt a little familiar, as if she had seen her before. When she saw the person, she almost couldn't hide her excitement. It was her!
"Mister Shan, I will leave the rules of Yao Yao to you in the future." Pei Shi was very polite to Mister Shan.
Mister Dan was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She was tall and thin, had delicate features, and had an aloof and indifferent temperament. She did not look easy to approach, but she was a famous talented woman in the capital, and her background was not low. She used to be a member of a prestigious family, but she later became a widow. Because her mother-in-law could not tolerate her, she went to the academy to become a teacher.
Unexpectedly … Pei Shi was able to invite Mister Shan.
Ye Zhen suppressed the tears in her eyes, walked forward respectfully, and bowed to Mister Shan. "Hello, Mister Shan."
When Mister Shan saw Ye Zhen, his eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly hid it. "Third Miss Lu, you and I are not master and disciple. There is no need to make such a big ceremony."
He just came to teach Lu Yaoyao how to pass the exam, not to be her teacher.
Mister Shan's indifference was within Ye Zhen's expectation. Mister Shan was such a person. When she was still Ye Zhen, he was also indifferent to her. It was only after getting along that the two gradually developed a master-disciple relationship.
