Chapter 1079: Chapter 1084: Stark Jealousy
"You don’t understand, choosing a disciple is all about the connection at first sight. I see that Tangyuan has an excellent foundation, which makes her great material for learning medicine; of course, I had to make the first move," Bai Yifan said with a slight smile.
Compassion and perseverance are the most crucial aspects of learning medicine, and both of Duo’er’s children possess them.
Until today, he had always wanted to take Green Group as his disciple.
But seeing Green Group grasp a pen and a dagger, following him in studying medicine would have been a waste of his talents.
Tangyuan, being a girl, did not have the grand ambition of making a name for herself, nor did the era grant her such opportunities.
Therefore, after weighing his options, he chose Tangyuan.
As for Green Group, King Qin’s place should be a good destination.
Someone cautioned, "Young Master Bai, have you thought this through? The young miss is lovely, but she is ultimately a girl."
"True, women are ultimately not the same as men."
Later on, a girl has to marry, to support her husband, and manage the household; how much time will she have to study medicine? 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
I’m afraid in the end, she will still disappoint Young Master Bai’s painstaking efforts.
"Successors of the mantle are generally men, but it’s not specified that girls can’t be one. Moreover, whether it succeeds depends on what Tangyuan accomplishes; there’s no need for everyone to worry about this," he said.
Accepting a disciple is his personal matter, at most related only to Medicine King Valley.
"Young Master Bai, you treat Mrs. Tan so well, aren’t you afraid that Fourth Master Tan might have some thoughts?" Qiao Hua’er said sarcastically.
Bai Yifan responded amiably, "Lady Du is mistaken. My accepting a disciple is solely because I have a connection with Shao Yi, and it’s unrelated to Mrs. Tan. Please be cautious with your words."
Qiao Hua’er glanced at Qiao Duo’er with a provocative look that greatly irritated Qiao Duo’er.
She had already been quite tolerant towards Qiao Hua’er, considering their blood relationship; having a fallout would be quite unsightly.
Yet the other party remained ungrateful, provoking her repeatedly. If she endured any more, she might turn into a Ninja Turtle!
Qiao Duo’er said indifferently, "I know you’re jealous of my family’s Shao Yi. If you just admitted it, no one would laugh at you."
Many women’s emotions stem from comparisons: comparing their natal family, in-laws, husband, and children.
Among them, some even develop a twisted mindset.
If they find themselves better, they could brag to the heavens; but once they discover that they are inferior to others in some way, they can’t help but denigrate and slander those others.
Clearly, Qiao Hua’er is one of the less cunning ones.
Saying she is not cunning is because she almost wears her emotions clearly on her face.
Qiao Hua’er snorted lightly, "Why would I be jealous of you? In what way am I inferior to you?"
"You tell us what aspects you think you equal. With so many people here today, we will surely give you justice," Chen Yiling chimed in.
Qiao Hua’er was taken aback, her face gradually turning red.
The Tan family is wealthier than the Du family; Tan Zhenghong holds an official position and is more devoted than Du Haofeng. Qiao Duo’er herself has made the Embroidery Room prosperous and is blessed with both a son and a daughter; in what way could she surpass Qiao Duo’er?
With everyone looking on disdainfully, Qiao Hua’er bit her lip, her head nearly hanging to the ground.
Seeing her quieten down, the others shifted the topic back to the subject of the first birthday grab.
The first birthday grab ceremony is elaborate, requiring that the items the child grabs be placed in front of the Buddha for offering; it also involves inviting the Elders Quan Fu from the village to speak auspicious words.
When the ceremony concluded, two soldiers in armor arrived.
They were soldiers under King Qin.
The soldiers presented the gifts prepared by King Qin.
Tan Zhenghong graciously said, "King Qin is concerned about the whole world and remembers my son’s birthday. My whole family is immensely grateful."
