Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

When Tao'er saw that Ayan was looking up with his little face and his clear eyes were full of seriousness, she knew that every word he had just said came from the bottom of his heart.

She nodded slightly, pulled him closer, and asked softly, "Ayan, if there were an old man with extremely skilled medical techniques who was willing to impart all his knowledge to you, would you be willing to follow him and learn diligently?"

Upon hearing this, Ayan nodded without hesitation, his tone earnest: "Sister Tao'er, of course I'm willing, I couldn't be happier!"

I was frail from childhood, and if it weren't for the doctors' dedicated care and treatment, I probably wouldn't have made it through.

Later, my older sister came to my side and took care of me every day, and my health gradually improved.

If I could also learn medicine, I could stay by my sister's side and take care of her personally when she is unwell in the future.

As he spoke, he clenched his little fists, as if he had made a silent vow in his heart.

Hearing his heartfelt words, Tao'er felt gratified and asked, "Ayan, besides wanting to take care of your sister, do you have any other reasons for studying medicine?"

"Of course," Ayan straightened his back and answered word by word. "After learning medicine, I can not only treat myself, but also take care of Sister Tao'er, and save lives."

My grandmother used to say that healing the sick and saving lives is a way to accumulate good karma and benefit the people.

If I complete my studies, I want to be that kind of person.

Tao'er's gaze fell gently on his face. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Ayan's ambition is excellent, and I've kept it in mind."

But I must also tell you this upfront: studying medicine is extremely difficult. You have to be able to endure loneliness and the monotony. Are you really sure you've thought this through?"

Ayan nodded heavily, his eyes resolute: "Sister Tao'er, I'm not afraid of hardship."

This little bit of hardship is nothing compared to the suffering my parents endured.

My sister always tells me, "It's never a bad thing to have many skills."

"You said that reading and learning to read and write is not necessarily for becoming a high-ranking official or bringing glory to one's family, but more for broadening one's horizons and understanding the principles of things."

I think the same applies to learning medicine; you don't necessarily have to become a miracle doctor.

Having an extra skill means you can not only help others and save lives, but also make a living from it.

Sister Peach, am I right?

Tao'er was stunned for a moment, deeply moved.

She never expected that the child would remember every word she said to Ayan during their casual chats.

Not only did they memorize it, but they were also able to understand its deeper meaning on their own and explain it clearly and logically.

She sighed inwardly, wondering if the ancients' description of "precocious intelligence" was truly accurate.

She composed herself, smiled, and nodded: "Ayan is absolutely right."

Studying medicine can not only help people and save lives, but also provide a livelihood. If you walk this path steadily, it will be a viable career path in the future.

"Sister Tao'er, why are you suddenly asking me these questions?"

But what are the arrangements?

Ayan looked at Sister Tao'er, thinking that Sister Tao'er had specifically asked Sister Dongkui to call him over, so it couldn't be just to ask a few questions.

Tao'er gently patted Ayan's hand and said, "Yes, sister does have some arrangements."

However, it's not decided yet. I'll let you know once it's confirmed.

You should go study with Brother Chen first, so as not to fall behind in your studies.

If anything happens later, I'll have Sister Dongkui call you again.

Ayan responded, stood up briskly, bowed to Tao'er, and turned to walk lightly towards Brother Achen's room.

Tao watched him leave, a smile still playing on her lips.

Before long, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard, and Xiao Yi led Elder Li in slowly.

Tao'er quickly stood up and personally poured hot tea for the two of them.

"Uncle Li, Brother Shi Qi, please have a seat."

The aroma of tea wafts through the room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

As soon as Tao'er finished speaking, Xiao Yi helped Elder Li to sit down in the guest seat.

Elder Li looked around the small but neatly arranged room, inhaling the faint aroma of tea, and couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort.

He devoted his life to medicine and did not care much about material possessions, but he did like clean and refreshing places.

Peach Girl's room exudes warmth and coziness.

"Uncle Li, please have some tea."

Tao'er presented the teacup with both hands, her attitude respectful yet not at all reserved.

"Uncle Li, what kind of tea do you usually like to drink?"

I'm not particular about tea; it's just ordinary tea. Would you like to try it and see if it suits your taste?

Elder Li took the teacup, took a sip, and smiled, "The tea is clear and fragrant; I quite like it."

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, took a sip of tea, and found it to be indeed mellow and fragrant. The tea looked clear and transparent, with green tea leaves floating in the cup.

Unlike the cloudy tea he usually saw elsewhere.

He couldn't help but wonder how Tao'er had done it, so he looked up at her.

Tao'er naturally noticed his gaze and smiled at him generously.

Holding his teacup, he spoke gently, "Uncle Li, you must have heard Ayan's voice outside just now?"

Because she saw the shadow.

Elder Li nodded, stroked his beard, and said with a hint of approval in his eyes, "I heard you."

That little child speaks clearly and logically, and has a good mind; he's a good child.

Tao'er smiled slightly and smoothly continued, "In that case, Uncle Li, do you think A-Yan might be able to learn medicine?"

Elder Li was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Although I have only met that child a few times, I can still tell a bit about him."

Although he is a bit weak, he has clear eyes and a calm temperament. If he can calm down and study, he could be a good candidate for medicine.

"What, Miss Tao'er, are you looking for a tutor for that child?"

Tao'er shook her head, then nodded, and then changed the subject, her expression becoming serious: "Uncle Li, Tao'er dares not hide anything from you."

You previously said you wanted to take me as your apprentice and impart all your medical knowledge to me. I am deeply grateful and know that this is a blessing that others would never be able to ask for.

only……"

She paused, raised her eyes to look directly into Elder Li's eyes, and said, word by word, "But Tao'er has one condition."

Elder Li put down his teacup and looked at her with interest: "Oh?"

What conditions?

Tell me your reasons; as long as they're not excessive, I'll agree.

Elder Li thought to himself that this little girl was clearly doing it on purpose to let him hear those words.

Then he asked him if the little boy Ayan could learn medicine, and now the topic of taking on a master and apprentices has come up again.

She probably has some ulterior motive!

Tao'er took a deep breath and said solemnly, "If Uncle Li accepts me as his disciple, please also accept Ayan as his disciple."

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent.

Xiao Yi paused slightly in his teacup, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Elder Li was also stunned. His hand, which was stroking his beard, froze in mid-air. It took him a while to come back to his senses.

Just as he suspected, this little girl's purpose was...

Elder Li hesitated and said, "This... Miss Tao'er, it's not that I'm unwilling, but how old is that little child?"

Perhaps you haven't learned all the characters yet?

Besides, my original intention was to take you as my disciple, so why did you...?

Tao'er calmly explained, "Uncle Li, please don't rush to reject my suggestion."

Although Ayan is only five years old this year, it is the best age for him to begin learning medicine.

Children of this age have good memories and are not yet tainted by worldly affairs. If they can receive guidance from a renowned teacher and build a solid foundation from the beginning, they will surely go far in the future.

Elder Li nodded slightly, agreeing with her assessment.

It's best to start studying medicine in elementary school.

"I agree with that. Please continue."

Tao'er nodded, her tone becoming increasingly earnest: "Although Ayan is young, he is extremely intelligent."

He just told me that studying medicine can not only help people and save lives, but also provide a livelihood.

For a five-year-old child to say such things demonstrates his pure heart and upright aspirations.

Uncle Li, how can you bear to let such a promising talent slip away?

Elder Li remained silent, his brows furrowed slightly, as if deep in thought.
