Chapter 8 Smoke rising from ancestral graves
"Ma'am, I need to correct you. Throughout history, there has never been a shortage of women who have made significant contributions to the world and the nation! It's because of your ignorance that you are completely unaware of these things. There are underage children here whose values are still developing. Please don't instill such ignorant and foolish ideas in them. Furthermore, you yourself are a woman, yet you belittle yourself so much. I truly feel sorry for your children!"
The middle-aged woman immediately put her hands on her hips, looking fierce. "Where did this little brat come from! Daring to interrupt adults, you have no manners at all! You call me ignorant? Well, if you're so knowledgeable, then tell me, how many women throughout history have made contributions to society or the country? If you can't give me a plausible answer, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Zhou Jinpeng tugged at Jiang Ning's sleeve and lowered his voice, "Ning girl, it's better to avoid trouble. Let's go!"
Jiang Ning didn't even finish high school, so naturally she wouldn't have much cultural refinement.
How could she possibly know which women have made significant contributions to the world and the country?
Don't mention Jiang Ning.
Even this old man who's lived to a ripe old age didn't know!
Trying to stand out when you know nothing will only make you a laughing stock.
"Grandpa Zhou, you don't need to worry."
Jiang Ning simply stood there, her back straight, exuding an outstanding aura. Despite appearing to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, she gave those present the impression of someone who had weathered many storms and experienced countless trials.
"Then please listen carefully."
She spoke slowly, each word distinct and deliberate.
"The first person in ancient China to perform anatomy was Ms. Zhang Xiugu. Her anatomical techniques were 1000 years earlier than those in the West."
"Wang Zhenyi, the first female scientist of the Qing Dynasty, was hailed abroad as a female scientist who laid the foundation for scientific development. She not only wrote "Explanation of Lunar Eclipses", but also wrote "The Theory of a Round Earth" after being exposed to Copernicus's theory. She also became the first person in the world to understand the concept of a round heaven and a square earth by combining the macroscopic and microscopic perspectives of the universe."
"The reign of Empress Wu Zetian, the first female emperor in Chinese history, is hailed as a period of great prosperity, comparable to the Zhenguan era, and a new era of governance!"
"Qin Liangyu, the first female general of the late Ming Dynasty, fought against the Qing army, the rebellion of She Chongming, and the rebellion of Zhang Xianzhong. She made outstanding military achievements and was awarded the title of 'Marquis of Loyalty'!"
"The physicist who discovered radium was Ms. Maria."
"The scientist who discovered the DNA double helix was Ms. Franklin."
"Hedy Lam invented technologies such as WIFI, Bluetooth, and GPS, and is known as the mother of WIFI."
"The first female programmer in history was Ada Lovelace."
"..."
Jiang Ning spoke calmly yet forcefully, listing legendary women from all over the world throughout history.
Everyone in the garden was utterly shocked.
No one expected that this little girl had such a wealth of knowledge!
At this moment, the saying "a person with a wealth of knowledge naturally exudes elegance" begins to take concrete form.
Zhou Jinpeng, sitting in his wheelchair, froze, his mouth agape in an "O" shape, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He initially thought Jiang Ning was just putting on a brave face, but he never expected the kid to be so amazing!
"Clap clap clap!"
Everyone spontaneously started clapping.
"Good! Well said, little girl!"
"What era are we living in? There are still people who say that girls are inferior to boys! It's outrageous! The little girl is right. I'm ashamed for her children!"
"Women don't give way to men!"
Even a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a wealth of knowledge and profound understanding of history might not have the courage to speak eloquently in front of so many people without changing her expression.
The smug old woman who had just been beaming with pride now wished she could disappear into the ground.
She thought that she could easily handle this young, blond-haired girl.
did not expect.....
We've kicked a hornet's nest!
Thinking of this, the woman wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, bent over, and left as quickly as possible.
Among the crowd, Old Madam Shen also stared at Jiang Ning with a shocked expression.
There was no shortage of appreciation in his eyes.
She has met many people in her life.
But someone like Jiang Ning is truly a first for me.
This young girl is top-notch in terms of talent, appearance, and temperament.
Most importantly, she did not become complacent because of her excellence.
Unpretentious and unassuming, like a red plum blossom in the snow or a green pine in the mountains, it can bloom in the cold and stand out from the crowd in the wind and rain.
At that moment, it seemed as if Madam Shen saw her future daughter-in-law waving at her.
If her silly son could marry her such an excellent daughter-in-law, she would be laughing in her sleep.
Fearing that such a good daughter-in-law would be snatched away, Old Madam Shen raised her foot to greet her daughter-in-law.
But they soon stopped.
No no no!
What if she goes over there so rashly and scares her dear daughter-in-law?
and so.
She needs to find the right opportunity.
She has more important things to do now.
Mrs. Shen took out her phone and made a call, "Hello, Annie!"
"Madam, I'm here. Please speak." A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.
Madam Shen then added, "Please book a swimming coach for me. I'll start taking lessons after I'm discharged from the hospital."
A swimming coach?
"A swimming coach? Madam, you, you're going to learn to swim?" The assistant could hardly believe his ears.
Whose elderly lady is over seventy and still learning to swim?
"That's right! I want to learn to swim." Madam Shen's expression was as firm as when she joined the Party.
She is a sensible mother-in-law. Even if she and her daughter-in-law fall into the water together, she will climb out on her own.
Not only can she get up on her own, but she can also lift her beloved daughter-in-law out of the water.
yeah!
She's amazing!
She's absolutely the best in the universe!
The fact that the Shen family was able to marry such a good daughter-in-law is like their ancestors' graves emitting auspicious smoke!
Shen Jingnian must have saved the galaxy in his past life to have such a wonderful mother!
After hanging up the phone, Madam Shen called Shen Jingnian again. Before Shen Jingnian could speak, the old lady couldn't wait to say, "You brat, let me tell you, having such a good mother as me is the greatest blessing you can have. You must have accumulated a lot of good karma in your past life!"
After harassing Shen Jingnian, Mrs. Shen hung up the phone without giving her son a chance to speak.
Sitting in the car, Shen Jingnian: "???"
What is this old lady up to now?
at the same time.
laugh--
The driver stepped on the brakes and turned around respectfully, "Ninth Master, Mr. Yun, we've arrived."
Yun Haotian got off the car first.
"Uncle, I'll go in first."
"Hmm." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
The car stopped in front of a stately villa.
This is the residence of Lin Fuhua, the most renowned physician in the capital.
Lin Fuhua was a disciple of Hua Tuo and possessed the ability to regenerate flesh from withered bones. As a divine physician, he was naturally highly sought after and appointments were extremely difficult to obtain.
Yun Haotian spent a full six figures to cut in line and get a number for 3 PM today.
Upon entering the villa, one can see the walls covered with banners proclaiming the spirit of "Holding a Healer to Help the World."
I arrived at the consultation office.
Yun Haotian took out the prescription and handed it to Lin Fuhua, saying, "I would like to trouble you, Doctor, to take a look at this prescription and see if there are any problems."
Lin Fuhua took the prescription and carefully read it over. "May I ask who this prescription is for?"
Before seeing the patient, he couldn't determine whether there was a problem with the prescription.
"The prescription is for me." A deep male voice came from the air.
Lin Fuhua raised her eyes slightly and saw a tall figure walking in from outside the door.
The man was about 1.9 meters tall, with a face like stars, and an imposing presence. Even Lin Fuhua, a revered physician, couldn't help but feel intimidated after seeing him.
What a strong aura!
Lin Fuhua subconsciously stood up from his chair. "Please sit down, sir."
Shen Jingnian leaned forward slightly and sat down in the chair opposite him.
Lin Fuhua carefully considered his words, "May I ask your surname, sir?"
"Shen."
“So it’s Mr. Shen,” Lin Fuhua stroked his beard, then took out a pulse diagnosis kit from his medicine box and placed it on the table. “I will now take your pulse.”
Shen Jingnian placed his left hand on his pulse point.
Lin Fuhua reached out and began to take his pulse.
About half a minute later, Lin Fuhua released Shen Jingnian's wrist and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, please rest assured. Judging from your pulse, there is nothing seriously wrong with your body. It's just that you have a bit of internal heat, which is causing you to sweat and cough slightly. You just need to take some medicine to clear heat and reduce internal fire."
Yun Haotian's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He had already told Shen Jingnian that the blond girl he met in the elevator was definitely a liar!
Shen Jingnian refused to believe it.
However, this Doctor Lin does indeed possess some skill.
It's worth noting that Shen Jingnian underwent various tests at the hospital, including blood tests and X-rays, before the cause of his illness was diagnosed.
With Dr. Lin, a simple pulse diagnosis was all it took to pinpoint the exact cause of the illness!
Suppressing his shock, Yun Haotian asked, "Dr. Lin, are you sure my uncle only needs some medicine to clear heat and reduce inflammation?"
"Yes." Lin Fuhua nodded.
Yun Haotian added, "But the person who prescribed this medicine said that my uncle has a typical case of qi and yin depletion. If he doesn't take the medicine in time, he will faint within three days, and the consequences will be very serious!"
Lin Fuhua frowned slightly. "Where did this quack come from! He's talking nonsense. The symptoms of Qi and Yin depletion syndrome are slight chills and fear of cold, but Mr. Shen has the exact opposite symptoms! I, Lin, have practiced medicine all my life. Do you think I can't even distinguish such a simple cause of illness?"
Lin Fuhua can tolerate anything except others questioning his medical skills!
He is a direct descendant of Hua Tuo!
At this point, Lin Fuhua looked at Shen Jingnian and said, "Mr. Shen, please don't believe the claim that you will fall ill within three days. If you do fall ill and faint within three days, I, Lin Fuhua, will write my name backwards!"
"Furthermore, this prescription is extremely harmful to the body. Once taken, even those who are not sick will become sick. This quack doctor is simply treating human life like dirt!"
