Chapter 24 I Want to Make You the Top Scholar's Wife 8
Jiang He and Jiang Miao are already on their way.
Jiang He drove the donkey cart, and Jiang Miao carried the books on her back.
The journey is long, and it will probably take them about a month to complete.
Jiang He pasted talismans on the donkey cart so that he wouldn't be targeted by anyone, especially in remote and desolate areas.
Jiang He had been practicing swordsmanship for over a year, and although he had some martial arts skills, Jiang Miao was unaware of this.
Moreover, it would be troublesome if we really encountered thieves.
The most important thing is to keep a low profile and arrive at Wanli Academy safely.
"Sister, is this Wanli Academy?"
After a month's journey, the two arrived at the entrance of Wanli Academy.
After explaining the situation to the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper went in to report.
"Come in with me."
The two were led to a banquet hall. "Please rest here for a while. The master will be here shortly."
The two sat for a while, and then a gentleman came over.
"Young friends, what brings you to Wanli Academy?"
"Sir, we are here to study at Wanli Academy. This is a letter of recommendation."
The gentleman had read the letter of recommendation; the person was a student of his Wanli Academy.
"Jiang Miao, right? Come with me to see the Master. Don't worry, the Master will give you a simple test. If everything goes well, you can enter Wanli Academy to study."
"Jiang Miao, go ahead, your sister will wait for you here."
The letter of recommendation stated that Jiang Miao has a photographic memory.
The teacher took a book, randomly opened it to a page, read it once, and then had Jiang Miao read it again to see how much she remembered.
Then I asked some simple elementary questions and wrote a few words.
Whether it's early education, writing, or the ability to remember everything at a glance, it's all as described in the letter.
He's not one to fake things; he's definitely a promising talent.
The teacher took Jiang Miao back and said, "The Master has accepted Jiang Miao, and she can formally study at Wanli Academy from now on."
Jiang Miao is very talented, and the teacher is willing to waive the fees, only hoping that Jiang Miao will study diligently.
Of course, not everyone receives this treatment.
Only truly promising students are exempt from fees, so that they can focus on their studies without external distractions.
Some wealthy children also wanted to enter Wanli Academy, but those who lacked talent had to pay a large sum of money.
The academy also provides individualized instruction, discovering strengths and talents. If someone is not good at reading, then they can find their strengths and focus on learning and cultivating them in that area.
If you have neither money nor talent, you can only sigh at the prospect of wealth and have no chance of attending Wanli Academy.
"Thank you, sir." The academy waived Jiang Miao's fees, saving her a considerable amount of money.
"At Wanli Academy, all aspects of life, including food, clothing, and lodging, are conducted within the academy. Students have three days off each month to go home."
At other times, you may not leave the academy without a valid reason. Besides students, no one else may freely enter or leave the academy. Your understanding is appreciated.
"Sir, we understand."
"Jiang Miao, you stay here and study hard. Your sister will find a place to stay downstairs."
"Sister, I understand. I will study hard."
“Miss Jiang, I will take Jiang Miao to his dormitory first, and then I will take him to pick up some daily necessities and academy student uniform. I will not see you off.”
"You're too kind, sir. I'll leave the ginger seedlings to you."
Jiang He left Wanli Academy.
They walked down the mountain and led the donkey cart to find a resettlement site.
The foot of the academy mountain is quite lively.
I found a small courtyard in a secluded corner and rented it.
Jiang He wrote a letter to her father, informing him that they had arrived at Wanli Academy, and that Jiang Miao had successfully enrolled and settled in.
Jiang He unexpectedly met a young woman named Wen Yan here. The doctors in the clinic were mostly men, and female doctors were very rare.
Wenyan loved learning medicine since she was a child, and her father did not withhold his medical skills from her just because she was a girl.
As a lady, she is very popular among women.
Many people spontaneously came to the clinic to help.
Jiang He met Wen Yan picking herbs on a mountain one day, and the two became acquainted.
Although Jiang He didn't know anything about medicine, these herbs should be similar to spiritual herbs.
One method involves preparing a decoction using different herbs.
One method involves using different spiritual herbs to prepare elixirs.
However, the failure rate of alchemy is very high, while the failure rate of decocting medicine is not high.
The doctor prescribed medicine based on the patient's condition, the patient took the medicine according to the prescription, and the patient's condition improved after taking the medicine.
Jiang He studied pharmacology under Wen Yan's guidance.
Some herbs are the same as the spiritual herbs in the cultivation world.
Although the names may be different, their shapes and medicinal properties are the same.
For example, it can stop bleeding, heal wounds, and detoxify.
However, it is not as effective as elixirs.
One pill is enough, but you usually need to drink herbal medicine for several days.
However, people are born, grow old, get sick, and die. When the elixirs she has run out, doctors will be needed from ancient times to the present.
Since she had the opportunity, Jiang He learned some medical skills.
Jiang He followed Wen Yan to pick herbs and learn the uses of each herb.
Learn how to process herbs, extracting their essence and discarding their dross.
Learn to prepare and decoct the medicine according to the prescription.
Learn the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation; diagnose the illness based on the pulse; and prescribe medicine based on the illness.
There is also the treatment of external injuries and wound care.
Jiang He discovered that the medicinal properties of the herbs would be enhanced if they were passed around in the space.
Wenyan praised her for preparing the herbs, saying they were of very good quality.
Gradually, Jiang He also began practicing medicine at the clinic and became a respected female doctor.
Jiang Miao goes home once a month. When she goes home, she accompanies her sister to the mountains to collect herbs, visit the clinic for consultations, and help her sister dry the herbs.
Jiang Miao studied at Wanli Academy for a year before taking the preliminary examination for the imperial examination. Three years later, she became a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examination).
He became a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examination) three years later.
Jiang He writes a letter to her father every month.
Mr. Jiang was very happy to learn that Jiang He and Jiang Miao were both doing well.
However, his daughter never got married.
However, since his daughter is now a respected woman and she herself has no such intention, he respects her decision.
If his daughter is willing, he, as her father, will help her make arrangements; if she has no interest, then she is his beloved daughter forever.
Moreover, with Jiang Miao around, Jiang He will have someone to rely on even after he's gone.
Jiang Miao had promised him that she would take good care of her sister in the future. Her sister had left her hometown to accompany him to study all for his sake.
Jiang He's reluctance to marry is probably because she's worried about Jiang Miao.
Three years later, the teacher asked Jiang Miao to prepare for the next exam; he had graduated.
Jiang Miao went to the capital to take the imperial examination, and Jiang He followed Jiang Miao to the capital once again.
Jiang Miao successfully completed the imperial examination and became a tribute student.
In the palace examination, Jiang Miao achieved the top rank in the first class and became the top scholar.
He was appointed as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy.
Returning home in glory, Jiang Miao and Jiang He went back to Jiangjia Village, and this time, they brought their father to the capital.
Before leaving, Jiang's father went up the mountain and sat in front of Jiang's mother's grave for a whole day, talking all day long.
Later, Jiang's father would come back once a year to talk to Jiang's mother.
It is said that Jiang Miao got married.
It is said that Jiang He opened a clinic in the capital.
He said he had a grandson.
They say Jiang Miao has become a high-ranking official.
Jiang He is known as the "Master of Healing".
Later, Jiang's father lay down next to Jiang's mother.
