The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 923: Using the backdoor is something that happens everywhere. (Thanks to Momo610 for the monthly ticket~)

The opening ceremony of Ping'an Women's Medical College on this day gave the people in Chang'an city a lot to talk about. People in the streets and among the nobles were discussing this matter.

Especially the little girl from that family who was admitted to this college, she won the envy of others just through words.

Everything happened just as Li Sanniang had expected. Ping'an Women's Medical College became famous. Even people from the Imperial Medical Bureau came to Li Sanniang privately, hoping to use the back door to get their daughters who knew some medical knowledge into the academy.

"Brother, you are giving me face by coming to me."

Li Sanniang signaled to Song Fuling to add tea to the middle-aged man with a short beard opposite, and Song Fuling went forward to pour the tea.

Li Sanniang and Senior Brother Zhou had been exchanging pleasantries for nearly a quarter of an hour, but Senior Brother Zhou would not get to the point. His words were just praising Li Sanniang for how capable she was and how discerning Doctor Gao was. These were all high-sounding, polite remarks to flatter someone.

So, who is this Senior Brother Zhou?

The fact that Li Sanniang could call him "Senior Brother" must have something to do with Doctor Gao.

This Senior Brother Zhou used to be a fellow apprentice with Master Gao who was in charge of the third medical hall in Yongpingfang. From Master Gao's perspective, Li Sanniang and Senior Brother Zhou can be considered to be related, so it is reasonable for them to call each other senior brother or junior sister.

As for the reason why Senior Brother Zhou stopped Li Sanniang's carriage on her way home from work today and insisted on inviting her to the teahouse for tea, Li Sanniang had guessed the reason after listening to him chattering for a quarter of an hour.

Li Sanniang, who was anxious to return home, had no choice but to speak openly: "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, are you here for your daughter?"

Senior Brother Zhou was interrupted by Li Sanniang. After hearing what she said, he looked at Li Sanniang with a little embarrassment: "My daughter is twelve years old and is very smart. If she hadn't gone home with me to worship our ancestors when the women's medical college was enrolled, she would have been able to catch up with the enrollment.

Junior Sister Li, we are all family. I am shamelessly asking for a favor today. Can you enroll my daughter in your female medical school?"

Seeing that Li Sanniang looked troubled, Senior Brother Zhou quickly added, "Don't worry. I have personally taught my daughter since she was young. She is my only daughter and she is a good one. If you don't believe me, just take the test paper and test her."

"Since Senior Brother can say this, I believe your daughter must be a good person.

But, Senior Brother Zhou," Li Sanniang raised her head and looked at Senior Brother Zhou, whose eyes were full of hope.

"The registration deadline has passed, and the first batch of students have participated in the opening ceremony. Classes have officially started in the college.

If I help my senior brother at this time and let Miss Ling enter the academy, I am afraid she will not be able to learn well.

My senior brother is different from me. I have been taught by my father since I was young and have never had the experience of studying under the same master as other people.

Senior brother has studied medicine with Master Gao since he was young, so he must understand that this is not something that can be cured just by letting your daughter enter the sect."

Senior Brother Zhou frowned. He naturally understood Li Sanniang's worries, but he also had some complaints in his heart: "I came to your door in person, and you don't even give me this face?
Besides, I have to go to the academy first. Whether I can learn well in the future is a matter for the future. Li Sanniang sighed in her heart, "Fortunately, I was prepared."

After thinking about this, Li Sanniang once again put on a fake smile to Senior Brother Zhou: "But our Ping An Women's Medical College also doesn't want to miss out on a smart girl like Ling Qianjin, so, Senior Brother, listen to me..."

The method that Li Sanniang told Senior Brother Zhou was actually something she had discussed with Mei Ruying and Chen Yanfu a long time ago.

In fact, it is very simple, just use extraordinary methods in extraordinary times.

When Ping An Women's Medical College was still relatively unknown, most families above the common people were observing the situation. Only a few people were like Dr. Lao Li and Tang Mingyue's Tang family, who immediately determined that this was a blue chip stock and invested their entire fortune to buy it.

Like Brother Zhou, once his reputation in Ping An Women's Medical College has been established and has reached a certain level, he will think about joining in. Naturally, people with connections will follow Brother Zhou's example and come to the school in roundabout ways, hoping to use the back door to get their daughters into the school.

But how could Li Sanniang really agree to anything that came to her for help?
But if some agree and some don’t, wouldn’t that offend people?

This Ping'an Women's Medical College, from the time it was conceived to its actual establishment to its current opening, many people from top to bottom have contributed. Not to mention Li Sanniang herself, there are also Chen Yanfu and her fellow obstetricians and gynecologists, the officials in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and Princess Qingyang who helped a lot. Even Zhongli Wenlian, the current big money sponsor of the academy, is indispensable.

As long as this person is alive, how can he not have relatives and friends?
So, how should we deal with those who want to take the back door?

Finally, Li Sanniang and the others discussed and came up with a method, which, in summary, was to accept everyone who came!
Those who come to the door have to pay a sum of money to enter first. The good thing is that they don’t have to take an exam to get in.

However, this does not mean that they can just muddle along in the academy forever.

The period is one year. In the next year, these people with connections will take the exam together with the next batch of girls who apply for Ping An Women's Medical College. If they pass the exam, they can be admitted and given student status. The conditions are the same as those girls who are admitted through formal exams.

But if you are uneducated and got in through connections, but don't study hard, then I'm sorry, you either have to pay a sum of money as tuition to continue studying in the academy, but you won't have a student status and will only be an auditor.

Otherwise, you should pack up and leave the college immediately, instead of embarrassing yourself here.

This method has two advantages. One is that it will not offend those people. After all, Ping An Women's Medical College is still in its infancy. If Ping An Women's Medical College becomes one of the best colleges in Chang'an City in the future, it will be able to reject others at will. Who knows, by that time, even royal relatives and nobles may not be able to come whenever they want.

Secondly, Ping An Women's Medical College still needs money to operate, and there are people who are willing to pay for a chance to audit its classes. There is nothing wrong with teaching everyone.

Besides, if these people fail to pass the exam, they will be different from those students with academic status after all, and this will also protect the reputation of Ping An Women's Medical College.

After hearing what Li Sanniang said, Senior Brother Zhou stroked his beard and asked, "What does Senior Sister Li mean?"
