Chapter 466: I call the shots in my life
Xiu'er's voice was not loud, but in an instant, the entire courtyard disappeared. They were all obedient and stopped, but they still stood there waiting for Xiu'er's following.
"Today is the day when the Women's Medical College is established. You are recommended by each family. Each of you represents your family. The advantages and disadvantages of your performance here will be presented to Your Majesty every ten days, so I hope you will perform well."
Zhou Heng walked to Liu Xiu'er's side, Xiu'er quickly glanced at him and said:
"This is the judge of the Imperial Hospital of the Imperial Hospital and the dean of our Beishan Medical College and the Women's Medical College. Please tell us a few words."
The whole courtyard was silent. Zhou Heng looked around and his eyes fell on Qu Ziping.
"Ziping asked everyone to group according to the previous group, one or two groups of eight people standing separately, and then remember the position. Every time they run a exercise or call a name, they line up according to this."
Qu Ziping bowed and stood on the left side of the crowd with the roster, raising his right hand high.
"One group and two groups are in the first row, the third and fourth groups are in the back, each person is separated by an arm's length from front, back, left and right, and so on. line up immediately."
These girls were a little embarrassed, but looking at Zhou Heng's serious look, none of them dared to be angry.
After all, before coming, He Mingyue from the He family had been removed from the list. I think the entire capital will spread tomorrow. How the He family teaches their daughters is indecent, and how the He family resists the orders and disrespects.
So after Qu Ziping's plan to queue up, these people were quick and quickly lined up. Zhou Heng was quite satisfied, but he did not praise him. He had to set rules today, and he had to set them up by himself.
"I'm not here to play, no one is spoiled or served. There is an equal competitive relationship between everyone. You represent your own family, even doctors, so don't think that I can go back if I can't do it well.
This kind of thinking is different, because if you fail the first exam ten days later, or if you feel unwell and want to leave, just like He Mingyue, there is no difference.
If you feel that you can’t do it and cannot endure hardship, then stand up now. After all, there is no difference between now and within ten days. Are there anyone who wants to quit?"
Zhou Heng paused and looked around for a while. Although these girls had fear in their eyes, no one stood up. Zhou Heng nodded and continued:
"Okay, let's talk about the issue of staying. Just now, Vice President Sun has formulated a course arrangement and will be announced later. Each copy will be recorded. The bell will ring in and after each class, and everyone will act as a listener.
If you feel unwell, there are many imperial doctors in Beishan Research. Of course, you may be treated as a case for research and explanation. If you like it, you can also take sick leave and lie in bed and let everyone take turns to treat you.
OK, I'll just say so much, Vice President Sun and Vice President Liu both said a few words."
Sun Maocai was simple, so he sent someone to hand in the pen and ink, and everyone started copying the course schedule.
Then Sun Maocai talked about the daily schedule. After all, Zhou Heng had the shocking and shocking tigers in front of him. Although he felt that these rules were strict, no one dared to resist.
When it came to Liu Xiu'er, she looked down with a smile on her face.
"This place is called Women's Medical College. I hope that those who stand here today can cherish this opportunity. From the officials in the court to the fields, they are all dominated by men. Even if women study, they will be looked down upon by some people. I think you have encountered such a thing.
And now, Your Majesty has given us such an opportunity to be a doctor in the Imperial Hospital to enjoy a ninth-rank salary. It is not only men who can do it, but we can do it. Don’t you want to?"
I don’t know who is below, so I muttered in a low voice.
"I don't enjoy happiness at home. What's the point of just coming here to suffer? Besides, we didn't want to shine our family!"
Liu Xiu'er was not angry. These words were probably the words of everyone present.
"I don't think that as long as a woman is beautiful and virtuous, she is looking for a good marriage, she must pursue her life and have her own value in life.
There are more beautiful women, and you may have them now, but in ten or twenty years, you will lose your beauty. You may have concubines at home and need to share your husband, and you may even immerse yourself in these struggles every day.
Why can't you look farther? You stand higher, have a more dazzling position, and show your abilities. This is not more attractive. Even if you don't become a doctor or treat others in the future, at least you can treat your family members suddenly in an emergency, right?"
Liu Xiu'er is a woman. Every word and sentence seems to be telling the family's shortcomings, but every sentence is the true thoughts of the girls. At this point, these girls looked up at Liu Xiu'er with different eyes.
Liu Xiuer raised the course schedule, "Maybe you don't know what many of the names on it mean now. I believe that in ten days, you will know that medicine is such an interesting thing.
On the street, just look at a pregnant woman and you will know how long the person has been pregnant, who is sweating all over and has difficulty breathing, you will know what kind of emergency he has to be treated. You don’t have to apply soy sauce when your younger brother and sister are injured. You will be completely cured in a few days after you take action.
This sense of accomplishment will make you addicted and you will be able to receive different courtesy from others. This respect and appreciation does not come from your surname and husband's family, but is obtained through your own abilities.
Do you want such courtesy? Do you want other people’s attention?”
Wang Yuyan, who was standing in the first row, was already trembling with excitement at this moment, and looked up at Liu Xiuer and raised her hand to signal.
"I want to be appreciated, I want to be a doctor, I want to not choose a marriage by my family, I don't want to be someone's concubine, pave the way for my father and brother, and be controlled by others."
At the end, Wang Yuyan was already choking, but she still controlled her tears, shouting hard as if she had swear.
How could Liu Xiu'er not understand this feeling? She had experienced it personally, and Liu Xiu'er nodded encouragement at her.
"Very good, you can do it!"
A woman not far away raised her hand like Wang Yuyan. Zhou Heng knew this person. She was the doctor who was in Changchun Palace and checked Concubine Shu.
All the doctors were brought here to re-study because of her actions. As for her, the pressure should be the greatest, and it was still very surprising that Zhou Heng could raise his hand on his own initiative.
"I am Li Nanqing. I was sent to the palace at the age of twelve. I followed the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to learn medicinal materials and learn medical skills. I want to know what is wrong with me. I want to learn how to dig uterine births and various life-saving methods."
Liu Xiu'er smiled at Li Nanqing, and her encouraging eyes surprised Li Nanqing, and then she quickly lowered her head slightly.
Two people expressed their opinions, and many people started to say everything. A girl with a round face stood in the first row, curled her lips and seemed to hesitate for a moment. Seeing Liu Xiu'er encouragement, she mustered up the courage to ask:
"Vice President Liu, I want to ask, how much is the salary of this ninth rank?"
Liu Xiu'er was stunned. She really didn't know how much the salary of this ninth-rank official was. She turned around and looked at Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng was also embarrassed. Sun Maocai quickly came to Zhou Heng's ear and said:
"The ninth grade is sixty-five stones and thirty silos."
Zhou Heng blinked and said, these thirty taels of silver were thirty taels of silver, plus sixty-five stones of rice, my god is a lot of money!
Liu Xiu'er suddenly realized that before she could repeat Sun Maocai's words, the following discussion was already open, especially the girl with a round face, with her eyes wide open, and seemed to have made up her mind to clench her fists and said:
"Then I have to study hard. I can get five taels of silver every month. If I go out to eat two meals, I will be gone. If I make money, at least I will not be subject to the checks and balances of my mother."
Liu Xiu'er looked at the girl, "What's your name?"
"My name is Huang Xiwen, and I am the third daughter of Huang Zhizhong, the Senator of Tongzheng Department."
Liu Xiu'er nodded and looked around for a while.
"If you want to change, you must rely on your own abilities. The saying I believe in is that I will make the decision in my life!"
