I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 462 - 461: Watching and Waiting

If it were someone else without an invitation, Tian Jun wouldn’t even ask to come in, but the person in question is a general, bearing shoulder insignia, accompanied by two guards holding gifts, standing at the door like that.Today, quite a few people know of this occasion. Two days ago, all places that could be rented or bought around the Tian Family were filled with people. Now, pretending to be passersby strolling around is everywhere, and the presence of the major general there immediately attracted much attention.

Tian Jun feared it might have an adverse effect because shutting a general out is not appropriate for the Tian Family, and someone would seize the opportunity to tarnish the family’s reputation, adding labels of becoming arrogant.

Tian Jun considered thoroughly, but while he came to seek instructions, all the various parties outside had already seen the scenario before their eyes. The general, bearing shoulder insignia, was just standing at the door waiting!

At this moment, everyone was very curious about the mysterious master the Wei Family wanted to revere, even a general had to wait at the door. Who exactly was this person!

While many were silently speculating, the master of the Tian Family, Tian Heming, came out to greet.

Tian Heming courteously led the general inside and closed the door, leaving many pondering. This general certainly didn’t have an invitation, or else he wouldn’t be waiting outside to be announced. So, do they stand a chance too?

This thought was dispelled from everyone’s minds after the first person attempted to try and was denied entry. They clearly couldn’t compare to a general.

Luo Xinfang was off today, and her father-in-law asked her man to come over to see the situation, so she tagged along from just past five in the morning until now. Luckily, it’s summer, so it hasn’t been too arduous. Even so, it felt quite taxing.

Mei Ren’an was the sharpest in his group of brothers, so Mei Zhiwei let him come. He turned to see his wife was lost in thought. Ever since those people went inside, she would occasionally be absent-minded, so he couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you daydreaming?"

Luo Xinfang shook her head, "It’s nothing."

Saying this, she couldn’t help but recall seeing the car that arrived at the gate and circled to the back, thinking she saw Beisitian, though she must have been mistaken. Beisitian wasn’t qualified to join such occasions; she likely had no means to get inside.

Luo Xinfang sighed; now she could only wait for people to come out and see if there was any opportunity.

Actually, she believed Master Qin was right. Though the matter leaked from unknown persons, both the Tian Family and the Wei Family clearly didn’t want outsiders to find out. By hiding it so tightly, those prying for more indeed stirred annoyance, with no real opportunity.

Luo Xinfang sighed; it’s not that she hadn’t spoken, but no one listened when she did. As part of the Mei Family, she naturally considered the family’s interests.

Meanwhile, as Tian Heming came out to greet, seeing that the person at the door was Zhou Biwu, surprise flashed across his face, but it quickly vanished as he welcomed Zhou Biwu inside with a smile.

"Having General Zhou here truly graces my humble abode!" Tian Heming said with a smile.

"I’m sorry to intrude," Zhou Biwu politely nodded, his face solemn, clearly a man who seldom joked.

Tian Heming inquired about Zhou Biwu’s health condition. For a while now, Zhou Biwu’s health was under his care, but intervals between medication were increasing, indicating his body was recovering swiftly. Upon seeing him now, naturally, it warranted a query.

"Mr. Tian’s medicine is very effective; I appreciate Mr. Tian’s efforts." Zhou Biwu responded.

Tian Heming shook his head with a smile, "I wouldn’t dare take credit; it’s all thanks to Beibei. Without her regimen and talismanic water, I would struggle to help General Zhou."

Tian Heming took no credit; originally, it was Beisitian’s work. The Tian Family had already gained so much advantage from Beisitian, they wouldn’t dare claim it.

Tian Heming felt conflicted about Beisitian. On one hand, because she was a Mystic Doctor, he respected and admired her as a Mystic Doctor, fostering such feelings for Beisitian. On the other hand, because Beisitian bore a resemblance to his late daughter, he would unconsciously treat her as his own child.

This mix of feelings made Tian Heming’s sentiments towards Beisitian very complex. However, his wife was straightforward, treating Beisitian as her beloved granddaughter whether or not she was a Mystic Doctor, resulting in the most relaxed interactions between her and Beibei.

Zhou Biwu had no intent to discuss much with Tian Heming. Upon entering the inner courtyard hall together, his gaze fell upon the figure who seemed both familiar and strange.

"I came uninvited; please forgive me," Zhou Biwu said expressionlessly.

Tian Heming quietly wiped away the sweat; Zhou Biwu was still reproachful. However, this was a gathering for doctors, with no reason to extend an invitation to Zhou Biwu. As for General Wu, it was due to his good relations with Beibei.

Speaking of General Wu, Tian Heming was shocked to see him too. When Beisitian requested an invitation, he hadn’t thought much, yet she got such a prominent figure to come!

Beisitian, hearing Zhou Biwu’s words, smiled softly, "No matter, since you’re here, you’re a guest."

Zhou Biwu nodded, refraining from saying anything aimless like before, though he couldn’t help but glance at Beisitian a few more times before presenting the gift.

Unwrapping gifts amidst such people is impolite, but usually they come with a gift list. Yet, Zhou Biwu’s gift was only a large red box without any list.

"What I’ve brought you, you will surely find interesting," Zhou Biwu said, before taking a seat beside.

With so many people around, Beisitian could hardly speak much, only nodding briefly.

It was time, and Du Kai Bo, as the special invited presenter for this occasion, announced the start of the apprenticeship ceremony.

Having Du Kai Bo as the presenter was also a gesture of goodwill towards Western medicine. Though different professions, the goal was the same: to heal and save people; cooperation should be natural, as Beisitian intended.

Wei Zhongxun and Tian Zhi were already familiar with the basic process. Although not customary to bow three times and kneel nine times, they did have to touch their foreheads to the ground and bow thrice before receiving the apprenticeship gift from Beisitian, marking the end.

The process was simple, the grandeur referred to the scene and the identities of attendees. The more distinguished the attendees, the grander the ceremony.

However, in this world, needing to kneel and bow suffices for grandeur; the concept of these two words differs among parties.

The apprenticeship ceremony was an important segment, followed by an equally vital aspect: the banquet. Since ancient times, fostering relationships at the dining table has been customary for Chinese people, as it was in Beisitian’s former world.
