Chapter 77 – Ignorant and Audacious (无知无畏)
Usually, Gan Songbai would never visit the apartment the three were staying in. Now that the day had arrived, he saw Su Chu’s and Gan Jinchen’s nervous expressions, as if they had to take on a fierce enemy.
After Gan Songbai stepped past the entrance, his eyes swept through the living room. He detected the few medical books arranged neatly on the table and inwardly shook his head.
It was too neat!
The order of the medical books was obviously randomly arranged. If one were to look at it everyday, the stacking of the books would definitely have some sort of order. Additionally, this external granddaughter and grandson of his both had pale faces. It was as if their blood was not circulating properly, looking a little too nervous.
When one read too many books, their hearts would naturally have holes full of insecurity. If they had the ability and the confidence, then they would be unperturbed. Just like… how Jing Yunzhao was.
Gan Jinchen’s gaze had skipped past Jing Yunzhao, but he still scoffed a little. This girl was truly ignorant and audacious. She was probably not afraid of this test because she was not his grandpa’s biological granddaughter. But she’ll know what’s what when she gets zero marks after this test. Regarding medicine, this grandpa of his would never allow anyone to play a fool!
“You guys sit down.”
Gan Songbai sat opposite to the three and spoke while taking out a form with his hands. Jing Yunzhao skimmed through it briefly. It was likely used to record the three’s scores.
“Grandpa, our school workload has really been quite heavy recently, don’t make it too difficult… Also, this is Biaojie’s first test. She has never studied anything regarding medicine, you’ll need to give her some face in the end, right?” Su Chu rushed towards her grandpa and winked at him as she pleaded.
Gan Songbai’s old face unconsciously moved a little, moustache twitching a little, yet he did not express his thoughts.
Never studied any medicine? Behind Jing Yunzhao’s back was a shifu much better than him!
Once again looking at his grandson’s expression of looking down on Jing Yunzhao, Gan Songbai shook his head helplessly. Who had genuine talent and knowledge, they still needed to take the test before they knew.
“I believe in Yunzhao’s ability, so this time the test will be on pharmacy, drug properties and case studies.” It was as if Gan Songbai had no intentions of giving them any face.
When Gan Jinchen and Su Chu heard this, they became even more restless, “Grandpa, previously didn’t you just test us on pharmaceutical knowledge? How come this time’s exam is so difficult!”
The Gan Family could be considered to have a heritage of medical history, but unexpectedly these two young ones were not interested in medicine. Thus, they did not really put much effort into the topic. Even after studying for ten years, they only knew some simple pharmaceutical knowledge. Every time they took the exam, they would spot questions based on Grandpa Gan’s mood.
Yet this time, aren’t the things they’re tested on too broad? Especially case studies, there were so many! Who knew which one the old man would bring up?
“When I was your age I could already try my hand on prescribing treatments, unlike you guys who still haven’t finished learning the foundations!” The old man coldly replied. “That’s enough. The exam starts now, talking is no longer allowed!”
Jing Yunzhao puckered her lips in a smile. She held onto a pen and paper, prepared to answer the questions at any time.
She had finally harmonized with the first piece of jade yesterday, so she would definitely have no problems with the basics. Besides, adding on to the second piece of jade in her mind, her knowledge had been sufficiently built up.
Don’t underestimate the jade scroll just because it only has 99 pieces because, in fact, the contents were all encompassing. There was information on nourishing the body, culinary treatment and even martial arts. In reality, it was over three hundred years of memories and knowledge of her old ancestor. It seemed like she was absorbing them one by one, but these things were passed on directly, forcefully imprinted into her brain.
Furthermore, the contents of just one piece of jade were more than what a normal standard newbie doctor knew. It was just that Jing Yunzhao had never learned any medical skills, she also had never interacted with anyone else before. Right now, she was still prudent and thought that she had only just been introduced to the subject.
