When this topic came up, Shu Han’s face darkened as he remarked, “Apart from pulse diagnosis and administering medicine internally, what else can one do?”

Indeed, when it came to gynecology, it was still a somewhat taboo subject.

“Oh,” Liu Shimei nodded and then inquired, “What about Princess Nie in ‘Min Liang Medical Chronicles’? Was she particularly skilled in gynecology?”

At the mention of this, Shu Han recalled, “Indeed, Princess Nie had another nickname – the ‘Gynecological Virtuoso.’”

Recalling Princess Nie’s techniques in the medical chronicles, Shu Han furrowed his brow and said, “Men and women are different. If there were someone specializing in gynecology, many medical conditions would likely no longer be insoluble.”

At Shu Han’s level of understanding of medicine, his perspective was quite noble. In his eyes, regardless of gender or status, he hoped that all patients could receive proper treatment.

However, societal norms separated men and women, making it impossible for a grown man to treat a woman, even just to examine her back, let alone discuss more sensitive areas.

He could not push the boundaries of decorum and reason, so he felt a deep regret about this. He continued, ‘Miss Liu, if you could master this field, my Shu family still has quite a few women who study medicine. While they haven’t practiced medicine outside, they are competent. If AAiss Liu doesn’t mind, I’d be willing to bring them out and have them join your Fusheng Pavilion, practicing medicine for the betterment of society.”

The undervaluation of female physicians was a fact. Although the Shu family had produced several outstanding female practitioners over the generations, even with his position as Vice Seat of the Imperial Hospital, Shu Han could not bring these female physicians into the public eye.

Looking at Liu Shimei before him, he had a premonition: the medical field in the Great Shu Dynasty was about to undergo a transformation. Perhaps, under her leadership, it could catch up to Minliang and usher in a flourishing era for female physicians.

“That’s great!” Such a good opportunity, Liu Shimu would certainly not refuse. In fact, she was hoping for it!

Huangfu Lingyao followed them, listening for quite a while. Once he confirmed that his future wife had decided to specialize in gynecology to treat women, his mood instantly lightened.

He was never particularly thrilled about her treating men, as there might be some physical contact involved.

It was not that he was possessive and did not want Liu Shimu to be seen by other men; he just simply thought that his wife belonged to him, and he did not want to share her with anyone else, even in terms of glances!

But if she focused on gynecology…

No one would be happier than him!

Liu Shimu selected about eight or nine doctors, and she still had to assess their character, so nothing was finalized today.

However, when she looked at the ‘statistical sheet’ that Shu Jun had provided, Liu Shimu was surprised. “This is very promising!”

Although they used ancient methods, the clarity and organization of this statistical report were impressive. There was no ambiguity, indicating that the person who compiled this record was very clear-minded and rational in their actions.

Shu Jun did not show a hint of pride and replied, “All thanks to my father’s excellent guidance.”

Shu Han did not praise his son but said, “1 oversee all the medical books and records at the Imperial Hospital, and my son is in charge of all the medical books and archives at home. These are things we’ve become accustomed to.” “Very good,” Liu Shimu said without further comment.

As the saying goes, the details reveal a person’s character.

A person who is naturally inclined toward sentimentality would find it challenging to become rational, no matter how much they are taught. Shu Jun seemed like the kind of person who would excel in the sciences if he had received modern education. In that case, he should have no trouble learning the Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Formation, right?

Liu Shimei closed the record and said, “Today, I’m hosting, so we’ll dine at the Immortal Guest Restaurant.”

Turning to Lu Ying, she said, “You go by carriage to invite Master here.”

Immortal Guest Restaurant.

Liu Shimei was generous in her hospitality and reserved a private room. As the hostess, she naturally sat at the main table. As for Huangfu Lingyao, if he did not sit close to her, he would not be her well-trained dog.

Shu Han and his son, along with the last arrival, Qi Yang, had to sit at the main table as well.

Zhong Lang was not used to eating at the same table as others, so he occupied a separate table and ordered a couple of small dishes, a pound of braised beef, and half a pound of rice wine.

Xu Xian, Mo’er, and the others took another table.

Finally seeing his idol, Shu Han could not help but get excited and made a grand bow, even lowering himself to the ground. His voice trembled a little, “1 am Shu Han, paying my respects to Master Qi!”

Liu Shimu was speechless.
