Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

"You are really too unreasonable. How can you, a grown lady, go out to be a female doctor? Do you still want to get married in the future?" Old Master Wei looked at Wei Bingyan solemnly. He felt that such an idea of ​​hers was really fearless and wishful thinking.

Wei Bingyan had already guessed that Old Master Wei would react like that. She knew it would be difficult to persuade the old master to agree to her request, but she didn't want to give up. "Grandpa, I won't let anyone know that I'm the daughter of the Wei family. I just want to go out and give it a try."

"If you don't want others to know, then they won't know?" Old Master Wei asked angrily.

"I can change my face before going out, Grandpa, didn't you tell me before? Even if you are a girl, you can't stay at home all day, otherwise you will become a arrogant woman. When my grandmother was a girl, she didn't stay at home quietly all day." Wei Bingyan explained righteously.

Old Master Wei snorted, and this time his tone softened, "How dare you compare yourself with your grandmother? Who asked you to learn acupuncture and moxibustion?"

In fact, the old man was quite surprised deep down in his heart. He knew that such a lovely granddaughter had grown up with his wife since she was a child. She was very decisive and a little different from other granddaughters. He never thought that she would learn medical skills. Although he didn't know whether she had mastered it, she was still a little better than those who only knew how to read women's laws.

Wei Bingyan told Old Master Wei the whole story of how she learned acupuncture and medical skills. At that time, Xiao was told by the doctors in Jinyun City that no medicine could help her. Fortunately, it was Mrs. Li who saved her life with several silver needles. She was very interested in acupuncture and medical skills, so she asked Mrs. Li to teach her.

Mrs. Li accepted her as her disciple, and she learned acupuncture and medical skills in depth.

After hearing this, Old Master Wei closed his wise eyes slightly and asked, "This Madam Li you are talking about... is she Li Yuyan's mother?"

Although the old man doesn't care about worldly affairs, it doesn't mean he doesn't know what is happening outside.

"Yes." Wei Bingyan said softly, not at all surprised how the old man knew Li Yuyan.

"Is it someone from the Guan family?" Old Master Wei's eyes fell on Aunt Yin behind Wei Bingyan, "Guan Village, the number one village in the Jianghu?"

Aunt Yin bowed and said, "My Lord, I was Madam Li's personal maid before, and now I am serving the young lady."

Old Master Wei did not continue to ask questions, but just looked at Wei Bingyan and said, "You learned medical skills from your master. Was it for your mother or for something else?"

"For my mother... and also because I like it very much." Wei Bingyan replied without hesitation.

“So, you want to go out and become a female doctor now because you want to figure out whether your medical skills can be mastered. You don’t have the courage to practice on your mother, but you practice on others?” Old Master Wei’s voice became much harsher, like a biting cold wind cutting at Wei Bingyan.

Wei Bingyan's expression changed involuntarily, she felt a sense of frustration and pain from being misunderstood, "Grandpa, I didn't think that way..."

"What do you think?" Old Master Wei raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes to the horizontal plane again, and asked intently.

"Before this, I just wanted to learn acupuncture so that I could treat my mother with care. But my master taught me all the medical skills without reservation, so I no longer thought so. I also want to treat others with care. I dare not say that I will definitely save the world in the future, but at least I can do something meaningful within my ability.

After I get married, I can only live in a deep house day after day. Now I am free and can do some things I particularly like... Isn't it good?" Wei Bingyan gritted her teeth and said, how many women can still be free after getting married and love whatever they want?

She just wanted to live a different life from before.

After hearing her words, Old Master Wei remained silent for a long time, then sighed helplessly, "It would be a joke for the young lady of the Wei family to become a female doctor, even if it is a good thing."

"My third uncle even said that if he doesn't want to be an official, then he can quit. Why don't you say anything to him?" Wei Bingyan said unconvinced.

"Your third uncle is a man, and you are a little girl!" Old Master Wei said unhappily.

"What's wrong with the little girl? If my grandmother were alive, she would naturally agree to my request. She always said that women should love whatever they want and shouldn't be too constrained." Wei Bingyan had to bring up Old Lady Wei.

Three years ago, the Third Master Wei suddenly resigned and left the capital. Except for the old man, no one knew what he was doing. With such a free-spirited Third Uncle, everyone followed suit. Wei Bingyan felt that it was nothing for her to sneak away and become a female doctor.

The Wei family, which has been glorious and prosperous for centuries, is not as strict and regimented as outsiders think. I heard from others that my great-grandfather was also an unusual person who did not care about trivial matters at that time.

Old Master Wei laughed out of anger, "Do you dare to tell your parents about this? Will they agree to it?"

"That's why I come to beg you, Grandpa. I will sneak out and not let others know. If anyone asks about it later, I can just say that I came to your place to play chess and study. No one will dare to suspect me." Wei Bingyan said immediately with a smile.

"No!" Old Master Wei still refused firmly, "You really have thought of everything."

Wei Bingyan suddenly stood up and said, "Grandpa, you are too biased. You just let Third Uncle do whatever he wants. How come you won't even agree to my small request?"

"You're half-filled with water, making a jingling sound. I can't let you go out and harm others." said Old Master Wei.

"How do you know that I can only drink half a cup of water?" Wei Bingyan asked unconvinced. Although she had only learned medical skills from her master for three years, she had the secret of having a photographic memory. What she learned in this year, others could not learn in years.

"You have learned acupuncture, so use your needles to relieve Luzhi's toothache. I'll think about it." Old Master Wei said. He didn't firmly oppose his granddaughter learning medical skills. He had an idea of ​​what kind of mansion Bingyan would marry into in the future.

He also saw the intrigues in the deep mansion. If Bingyan had medical skills, she would be able to protect herself and it would be difficult for others to plot against her.

"Okay!" Wei Bingyan's eyes were shining. This was the first time she used an acupuncture needle to treat someone else. How could she not be happy?

Luzhi looked at the young lady's excited eyes, as if she saw her prey, and felt many chills on her back.

"Miss!" Aunt Yin took out the box and wine bottle that she had prepared long ago.

"Luzhi, don't worry. Although this is my first time giving acupuncture, I will definitely cure your toothache completely." Wei Bingyan's eyes were filled with calm confidence. She had tried it with her own arm many times and had already mastered the depth of the needle insertion very well.

After listening to Wei Bingyan's words, Luzhi's lips twitched from time to time and her face turned pale.

Wei Bingyan asked Aunt Yin to take off Luzhi's shoes while she herself used the needle to remove the poison.

Luzhi's body was stiff. Wei Bingyan asked her to relax, otherwise the acupuncture would be dangerous. She was so frightened that she took two deep breaths and reluctantly relaxed her hands and feet.

She applied needles on the chin-yan point, the ting-hui point, the xuanlu point and the qubin point, gradually inserting the needle half an inch, which is the acupuncture and moxibustion method.

Old Master Wei watched silently from the side, somewhat puzzled by Wei Bingyan's skillful acupuncture techniques until his eyes fell on Wei Bingyan's wrist. Her fair, tender and smooth arm was covered with red spots, which were clearly caused by the small needles.

A strange feeling surged into his heart, and even though Old Master Wei had trained himself to remain calm in the face of emergencies, he was still shocked.

After half an incense had passed, Wei Bingyan slowly withdrew the needle, looked at Lu Zhi with bright eyes, and asked carefully, "How do you feel?"

Luzhi touched the right side of her face and looked directly at Old Master Wei, "It doesn't seem to hurt as much anymore."

I don't know whether it was because he felt that Wei Bingyan's medical skills were good enough to be seen by others, or because he saw the red spots on her arm and couldn't refuse firmly, Old Master Wei curled his lips and sighed, "If you want to go out, you must hide your identity well and can't let others know that you are the daughter of the Wei family. Can you do it?"

Did he nod his head to agree to her? Wei Bingyan couldn't suppress her ecstasy in her heart, "Grandpa, please relax. I will definitely be careful."

"Go back and don't disturb my leisurely fishing." Old Master Wei waved his hand to shoo her away.

Wei Bingyan looked at Aunt Yin with a look of joy that was difficult to conceal, "Grandpa, I'm leaving first."

Watching his lovely granddaughter drift away with her smaller and smaller figure, Grandpa Wei's wise eyes were filled with regret. He looked at the jagged surface and sighed, "If it was a male..."

Lvzhi looked at the increasingly smaller figure of Old Master Wei, who suddenly seemed a little lonely, and said with a smile, "Old Master, I'm afraid that ordinary men are not as good as our young lady."

Old Master Wei nodded slightly, "You are right." After a pause, he said, "Let Xihai go with him tomorrow."

Wei Bingyan returned to Wanyuan and quietly instructed Bai Binghui and Anxiang to prepare the things she would need to work as a female doctor the next day. Anxiang did not expect that the old man would agree to Wei Bingyan's request, so she had to go and prepare the things.

Bai Binghui excitedly said that she would go out with Wei Bingyan tomorrow.

"You and Anxiang are both my personal maids. If you are not at home, it will definitely arouse other people's suspicion. The next day you will follow me to the old master's place. After I change my appearance into a maid, go out with Aunt Yin and just pretend to be working for the old master. You must be able to adapt to the situation and never reveal my whereabouts." Wei Bingyan repeatedly warned Bai Binghui.

"What if it's the Madam looking for you?" Bai Binghui had a helpless look on her face. Apart from going to look for the Young Master the day before yesterday, she had not been to any other place in the capital.

Seeing Bai Binghui's thoughts, Wei Bingyan smiled and said, "Are you still afraid that I won't take you out later? If Madam comes looking for me, just tell her that I'm at the old man's place, or... tell her that I'm studying. However, Mother won't think of me these days because she has nothing to do."

I just came back from Jinyun City, and my mother has a lot of things to do at home.

The next day, under the delicate hands of Aunt Yin, Wei Bingyan transformed herself into an ordinary little maid. They went out through an inconspicuous little door. The mother-in-law who was guarding the little door heard from others that it was the old man who asked them to go out to work, so she didn't dare to ask too much.

After taking a look, he opened the small door, wondering in his heart if the old master had always sent Luzhi out, why was it a little maid who looked unfamiliar and someone close to the young lady?

But after thinking about it, she didn't recognize anyone in the old master's room, and the young lady went there from time to time. It was nothing for Aunt Yin to go out and do things with the old master's people.
