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

(Thanks to book friend 20220913171201397 for the monthly ticket~)

Everyone in the audience listened to Li's father's words of praise for Li Sanniang and thought that Li Sanniang was so different. However, when Li Sanniang stepped onto the stage, she was indeed different. After saying such words, He asked Li Silang to ring the gong and start the banquet.

"It's really rare to see such a straightforward girl. It's a blessing to be awarded an official by a saint."

Father Li felt happy when he heard what his old friend said. He stroked his beard and said, "Where, where, she is just impatient for me to say a few more words."

But there was no look of dissatisfaction on Father Li's face, but he just said so modestly.

The service at Jinmanlou is very good. When the gong is struck, it means the dinner is open.

At the Li family's side, there were young men wearing blue shorts, each holding a tray. The four of them separated themselves to a table, and served cold cuts first, delicate snacks, which looked like the kind of food only rich people would eat.

Father Li and Li Sanniang first toasted at the table in the main hall where Dr. Sun Yizheng and Dr. Gao were sitting. When they arrived at the second table in the side hall, they were seated by wealthy people who had good relations with the Li family, such as Fang Chengxian, Junior Brother Shaoyang, Xing Yu and others are at this table.

Li Sanniang was dragged by Father Li, and together with the eldest brother Li and the second brother Li, they visited all seven or eight tables.

The first few tables were fine. Most of the people there were more reserved, and their compliments were very subtle.

But those tables outside, especially those who live on the same street as the Li family, have watched Li Sanniang grow up, get married, divorce, and return home, and have watched her become a doctor, and step by step she has become a doctor now. Officer, those words were really spoken. Li Sanniang was so naked that even if she drank only a few degrees of sweet fruit wine, her cheeks would turn red and she would be embarrassed to raise her head.

"On the day Sanniang was born, I saw the morning glow filling the sky. At that time, I knew that Sanniang would have great fortunes in the future!

Look, look, isn't it now?

It’s not that there are no officials on our streets, but a girl like Sanniangzi is really the first to become an official! "

After finally finishing socializing with the Li family, Li Sanniang hurriedly followed Li's mother who was waiting at the door to go to the girls' support club next door.

It's probably because there are only female customers here and there are no men. Even the people serving the food are all little girls from Jinmanlou who agree to wear red bean paste-colored clothes.

Therefore, as soon as Li Sanniang entered, she was greeted with strange looks from all the girls.

For those with a lively temperament, like Yin Liu Niang, she just opened her mouth and said: "Okay, Li Langguan came over just after the hot dishes were served, so he had to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty.

Sisters, am I right? "

When one person speaks out, everyone responds.

How could Li Sanniang be afraid of this?
  She walked to the table where Yin Liu Niang was sitting and poured herself three glasses of fruit wine on the spot.

A high platform was also set up here. Li Sanniang walked up to the high platform with a glass of newly poured wine. Standing on the high platform, she looked at the dozens of women of different ages below the stage and shouted loudly: "Everyone today It's your honor to come to Li Sanniang's banquet, so thank you very much, Sanniang."

Li Sanniang raised her glass to everyone, "This glass is for you all!"

After finishing the glass of wine, Li Sanniang bowed to everyone again.

"Without further ado, everyone, I just hope that everyone will eat well and drink well today. If there are any mistakes, please forgive me."

Having said this, Li Sanniang was about to step down when she heard Yin Liu Niang's voice coming from the audience again: "Doctor Li, don't be in a hurry to step down.

Can you say a few more words to us? It's not that there aren't any girls who can be officials. I know that there are more female officials in the palace.

But you are the first girl to be an official in the Imperial Medical Office!

Dr. Li, please say a few more words to us, we want to hear it. "

Yin Liu Niang stood up and looked around: "Ah, sisters, do you also want to hear a few more words from Dr. Li?"

Those who were brave enough also responded loudly: "I want to hear it, I want to hear it. Dr. Li can say a few words, and a few more words."

Unable to resist the warm welcome, Li Sanniang took two steps back and stood at the center of the high platform again. After she stood still, she did not say anything immediately. Instead, she looked at everyone in the audience from left to right with her eyes. arrive.

After a brief pause, Li Sanniang saw that the ladies in the audience did not urge her. She swallowed and then spoke leisurely.

"My grandma is a stable woman," Li Sanniang looked at her mother in the audience, "Many people know this."

"Everyone knows that our three boys were delivered by Mrs. Zhao Wen."

Li Sanniang smiled and nodded at the neighbor Aunt Zhao who answered, "My mother-in-law is still delivering babies to this day. Even though the girls' support association was established, which made my mother-in-law a lot more busy, she still went to give birth to the third child. Women in the city only charge a dozen yuan to deliver babies.”

From the perspective of the women present, the dozen or so money was not too much, but it was not too little to look down upon.

The girls were puzzled, why did Li Sanniang talk about how much money Li's mother would charge for delivering a baby?
  However, no one pressed to ask questions. They all wanted to hear what Li Sanniang would say next.
  "My sister-in-law," Li Sanniang looked at Sister-in-law Li who was standing next to Li's mother. Sister-in-law Li was a little confused. Why was she mentioned?

"My sister-in-law Jiang Meihua comes from a family of warriors. She can ride horses, shoot arrows, and do some boxing and kicking.

When she married my eldest brother, I was still young. My mother-in-law was busy when I was young, so it was thanks to my sister-in-law that she took care of me. "

Sister-in-law Li was confused. She felt that after marrying into the Li family, her sister-in-law was young and her mother-in-law was busy, so she had to live a good life with her.
  How is this worthy of Li Sanniang saying it in front of everyone?
  Sister-in-law Li felt a little embarrassed. After listening to Li Sanniang's words, Mother Li guessed what she wanted to say, so she reached out and patted Sister-in-law Li's arm, indicating that she didn't need to be embarrassed. It was her fault and there was nothing to say. .

"My second sister-in-law Wu Lan comes from Wujia Village on the outskirts of Beijing. She is the eldest granddaughter of the family. She has been diligent and quick since she was a child, and she is a neat person.

After she married my second brother, she helped my mother-in-law and sister-in-law a lot. "

Sister-in-law Li was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that she had such conflicts with Li Sanniang in the past. Now, Li Sanniang would actually praise her in front of everyone!
  "As for me, because I am the oldest daughter in the family, my eldest brother, Aye, my mother-in-law, my second brother, and my sister-in-law all doted on me. When I was young, apart from studying medicine with Aye, I rarely helped the family.

Everyone, I am fortunate enough to be awarded an official position by a saint today. This is not my glory alone, but the glory of me and my family. Without them helping me, there would be no Li Mingfang today!

So, ladies and gentlemen, a girl can marry a husband and have children, or she can make a living outside, like my grandma, delivering babies, or being the shopkeeper of a silk shop like Yin Liu Niang. It is good.

Of course, girls can also rely on their own abilities to become an official like me.

Don't just think that I became an official. I also know that there was a woman (Bi Qionglan) in Sinong Temple who was [-] years old and became an official earlier than me, just because she was good at farming. "

Li Sanniang looked at the audience from left to right again, "Everyone, a girl can live as happily as a man. A girl is the best whether at home or out!"
