The next day, Li Jing got up early, and carefully dressed herself in front of the Xiaoxuan window. After dressing up, Li Jing went straight to the lobby of the prefect's mansion. At this time, Zhang Zhongjing was sitting upright and snoring. Zhang Yi, who was standing beside him, After seeing Li Jing, he softly "shushed" to Li Jing, signaling not to disturb.

Zhang Yi walked over softly and asked, "Miss Li, what is the matter here?"

"I....I want to worship.....I want to visit sister Zhi'er, I wonder if it's convenient now?" Li Jing wanted to say apprenticeship, but seeing Zhang Zhongjing sleeping soundly, she couldn't bear to interrupt, so she changed her words He said he wanted to visit Lu Zhi who was recovering from illness.

"Oh! That's it, Miss Li, please!" Zhang Yi stretched his fingers along Lu Zhi's convalescent room, and Li Jing walked directly to Lu Zhi's room. Seeing Lu Zhi's complexion getting better day by day, Li Jing felt sincerely happy in her heart. Although Lu Zhi is still in a coma, Li Jing can feel that under Zi Ling's careful care, Lu Zhi is likely to wake up in the next two or three days.

After visiting Lu Zhi, it was already noon, and Li Jing was thinking about apprenticeship in her mind, so she went straight back to the lobby. At this time, Zhang Zhongjing seemed to be talking to Zhang Yi, and she saw Li Jing standing at the side door of the hall. , Zhang Zhongjing stopped talking and asked, "What's wrong with Miss Li today?"

Li Jing felt a little nervous at this time. In her memory, it seemed that there were not many women in ancient times who could practice medicine. She wondered whether Zhang Zhongjing could accept a female disciple.So Li Jing said slowly: "Last night, my little girl watched the prefect work tirelessly to consult and treat the general public. She admired it very much. However, the women of the people have nothing to do. They want to learn medical skills from the prefect. I don't know if the prefect can do it. ...Can you accept Minnv as an apprentice." After Li Jing finished speaking, she didn't dare to look directly at Zhang Zhongjing, for fear of being rejected by Zhang Zhongjing, and for a moment, her hands were involuntarily clenched tightly.

After listening to Li Jing's words, Zhang Zhongjing couldn't believe his ears, stood up involuntarily from his seat, looked at Li Jing with wide eyes and asked, "Miss Li's words are true!"

Li Jing thought that Zhang Zhongjing had rejected her, so she quickly explained: "My lord, the girl really wants to be a doctor. In this troubled world, I am wandering all over the world and have no skills. I am willing to learn something useful to help people around me!"

Seeing Li Jing's sincerity, Zhang Zhongjing realized that his behavior was a little out of character just now, so he sat upright, twisted his beard and said, "This is very good! I have long wanted to pass on my medical skills, and today I can be considered to have met a destined person! "

At this time, Zhang Zhongjing was very happy in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. Although he was in a family of officials, he was never interested in the career of an official since he was a child. He liked to study the medicine left by the ancient sages more. Classic, for the benefit of the people.Originally, my daughter Wen Hui was also interested in medicine, and I wanted to pass on the skills I had learned to her in the next few years. Unfortunately, after I came to Changsha to take up my post, I didn't want the epidemic caused by the Zhang Xian Rebellion not long ago. Luan took the life of his daughter, and his adopted son Zhang Yi has never been interested in studying medicine. On the contrary, he is more interested in martial arts and swordsmanship, and his staff Zhang Lue seems to be more interested in officialdom.I didn't expect that today there are people similar to my daughter who are willing to learn my skills. Could it be that this is a gift from God to this old man?Suddenly, Zhang Zhongjing's eyes were slightly moist.

"Really?" Li Jing clasped her hands together and looked a little excited.

"It's hard to chase after a gentleman's words. I never tell lies, but if Miss Li wants to truly worship me as a teacher, she has to make three rules. Otherwise, I will never accept people as apprentices at will?" Zhang Zhongjing said seriously.

"Which three chapters?" Li Jing asked back.

"First, learning medical skills is a cumbersome and complicated process. People like you who have never been in contact with medicine need to spend more time studying and studying. It is inevitable that they may give up halfway. If this happens, the old man will definitely send you You will be expelled from the teacher's school, and you will not be recognized as the disciple of the old master. Two, if you can return from your studies, you must not deceive others with the medical skills you have learned. If this happens, the old master will also expel you from the teacher's school. Three. , if you come back from your studies and practice medicine in the future, you can’t say that this old man is your teacher. If you can do these three things, this old man will accept you as an apprentice.”

After listening to the three chapters of Zhang Zhongjing's agreement, Li Jing was at a loss. The first two could still be understood, but the third one, Li Jing seemed a little confused, and asked: "Master, my apprentice is stupid, why can't I report your name after I finish my studies?" ?”

As if knowing that Li Jing had asked this question a long time ago, Zhang Zhongjing said meaningfully: "You will understand in the future!" Without waiting for Li Jing to continue asking, Zhang Zhongjing ordered: "Yuan Bi, quickly serve the best tea and celery from the house. Come up, it is a happy event for the father to accept disciples today."

"No!" Zhang Yi quickly walked into the living room after listening.Not long after, a serving of steaming fragrant tea and a handful of green celery were brought up by the servants. Seeing the excellent fragrant tea and green celery, Zhang Zhongjing stood up and said, "This old man is not a traditionalist. The red tape of apprentice apprenticeship can be reduced today, so Miss Li just needs to follow what the old man said."

In her previous life, Li Jing had only seen the relevant scenes of apprenticeship in TV dramas, so she only had a vague impression of this. How to operate it depends on today's Zhang Zhongjing.Not long after, Zhang Zhongjing ordered his servants to fetch a portrait of an ancient figure and hang it on the wall, and then said to Li Jing: "When an official apprentice is a teacher, he should first worship Confucius, but in the medical field, the teacher should be a teacher from the Spring and Autumn Period." Bian Que, the great medical sage, you can follow as your teacher." After Zhang Zhongjing finished speaking, he clasped his hands tightly and bowed deeply to Bian Que in the portrait three times, and Li Jing followed suit in a decent manner.After worshiping Bian Que, Zhang Zhongjing picked up the celery on the plate and handed it to Li Jing, saying: "According to the ancient etiquette, it is necessary to perform three kneeling and nine prostrations, but you are a woman who remembers you as a teacher, and you are not forced to kneel and prostrate three times. Bye, you only need to pass the celery and fragrant tea to the teacher."

After listening to Zhang Zhongjing's words, Li Jing was a little confused. What does this apprenticeship have to do with celery, but she still followed Zhang Zhongjing's instructions. After receiving the fragrant tea Li Jing handed over, Zhang Zhongjing asked: "Miss Li, Shan Is there a character for the name Jing?" Li Jing thought after hearing this: In my time, almost no one took characters, but I seem to vaguely remember that in ancient times, men took their characters when they were twenty weak crowns, and women when they were fifteen and married. It's apprenticeship, not marriage, Li Jing's head was a little confused, so she shook her head and said, "Not yet!"

"Well! That's very good! Originally, a woman can't get a character when she is not married, and can only stay in her boudoir, but the old man doesn't like that. The word is a name between relatives and friends, and you are similar to my daughter. If Wenhui is used as the character, what do you think?"

"Wenhui?" Li Jing thought about it for a while, and thought it was good, before replying: "I will obey the master's order!"

Zhang Yi, who was standing by the side, was a little anxious, and reminded Zhang Zhongjing: "My lord, you can't take words easily if you are not married. If it spreads, it will damage Miss Li's reputation!"

After hearing Zhang Yi's reminder, Zhang Zhongjing woke up as if he had just woken up, and hurriedly said: "This old man was negligent, and Wanwang disciples forgive me as a teacher!" After speaking, Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly wanted to apologize to Li Jing. Seeing this scene, Li Jing hurriedly said Stopping Zhang Zhongjing and saying: "There is no reason for the master to apologize to the apprentice. On the contrary, I like the name Wenhui very much. If the master is afraid of damaging the reputation of the apprentice, I can call my apprentice Jinger in the future. How about that?"

Seeing that Li Jing was like this, Zhang Zhongjing no longer insisted, and said: "Jing'er, there is no school in this medicine, so my teacher only asks you to use what you have learned to benefit the common people after you complete your studies. Can you do it?"

"Jing'er will definitely do her best!" For a moment, Li Jing was full of confidence.
