Medicine hall
Sleeping in her own bed or may be being together with everyone after a long time, Yusheng woke up feeling rejuvenated.
Zhu mama with sharp ears knew she had awoken, finding the maid servants also up and ready to serve Yusheng, she nodded her head displaying her satisfaction and made bee line with her ahead inside yusheng's boudoir.
Soon after preping herself together and with everyone following her like a tail she reached dining hall.
After salutions and greetings everyone sat for the breakfast. Beside their table at a fair distance to give some privacy another table was prepared for the maid servants and and shadow guards who starting today will share their meal together with their master.
Yusheng was served left and right by zhu mama and the elders, lamenting from time to time how she had thinned and she need to eat more to grow healthier.
Taking a sip of her tea Yusheng passed the training list she had created to first elder also informing that from today she will enter the medical hall.
She requested 5 dummies to be placed to practice her acupuncture art.
Elders were very pleased and nodded their head like chicken pecking rice saying indeed it was time for her to start learning medicine.
Second elder reminisced and recited how the previous lord's looked while performing acupunture with awe in his voice.
Thinking Yusheng will be nervous as it was her first try he patted his chest and declared how he will be there so she need not worry.
Third elder also inserted in between saying one or two failures are nothing to fret about and so on.
Only first elder was silent as Yusheng had mentioned how she was visited by the ancestor and had given knowledge, more than worry he was excited to see how would her performance would be.
Soon elders flanking her left and right, together they reached the medical hall. Opening the doors Yusheng was invaded with smells of hundreds of herbs and books.
It was a three storey building, the first was a big spacious hall filled with rows of bookshelf's filled with books. Several desks and chairs were neatly lined for those who want to read.
Seeing masters and elders everyone reading hurriedly saluted. It was first time that master had entered to medicine hall so everyone was little flustered and excited.
Giving them a nod and motioning them to continue to what they were doing by gently waving her hand Yusheng climbed up the stairs toward the second storey.
The second storey had three rooms, a lecture room where students learned orally from elders and teachers, a practice room where they learned by looking at the demonstration shown by the teacher and finally the most big room where students practiced by themselves.
She entered directly to the practice room as not to disturb other classes from her presence. Rows of long tables were inside the room without chairs, instead rows of cabinets with practice kits filled every side of the wall. At the end of the room wall had three big drums filled with water next to it was another drum which had a bowl shaped funnel on its top instead of lid.
It was the place where one would wash their hands. Next to it was two big cabinets filled with hand towels. Everything was placed neat and tidy, clean and pleasant to eye.
Yusheng repeated good three times in a row after seeing how well managed the place was. Immediately as if fighting for her compliments like children fighting for candies each elder started to blow their own trumpet haughtily.
"Master I personally supervised and ordered for these table and cabinets"said first elder.
"Master it was me who came up with the idea to not have chairs creating more space also it was my idea to place these practice kits in the cabinets" replied second elder.
"Master it was my idea to place the water filled drums, also the bowl funnel is my creation also the cabinets filled with towels is a idea of mine" said third elder.
Knowing that they were fishing for compliments Yusheng generously complimented each one of them. Each one of them had chest puffed, nose upward and their invisible tail up to sky.
