Chapter 471: An Unusual Friendliness
The woman was wearing a white dress and her face was covered by a veil. When she saw Lu Liangwei walking in, a warm look appeared imdiately in her eyes.
Lu Liangwei had not bothered to don a veil on her visit to the dicinal shop as there should not be any outsiders in the shop.
The mont she stepped in, she could already sense the affable look the woman had cast on her.
She was taken aback and instinctively began sizing up the woman.
There was a veil over the woman’s face, which made it difficult to tell her age. However, her eyes, which were not covered, were exceptionally beautiful.
However, they also emanated a distant coldness that appeared to depict a sorrowful life experience, and there seed like there was much more to her story in those eyes.
When she looked over at Lu Liangwei, the woman’s originally distant gaze was suddenly filled with so unusual warmth.
Lu Liangwei frowned at the woman’s warm and friendly gaze.
“You must be the owner,” the woman stood up to approach her. She looked like she wanted to hug Lu Liangwei. She raised her hands montarily, but then forced them down suddenly as if afraid of crossing so sort of line. She stopped two steps away from her and did not move forward any further, but failed to hide the agitation in her eyes.
The look she gave Lu Liangwei showed so tenderness hidden within the agitation.
Lu Liangwei felt the way she was being stared at by the woman was extrely strange.
Did she know this woman?
Right at that mont, the old beggar ca over and introduced them to each other. “Second Miss, this is Madam Lin. She was the one who took our notice on hiring a physician. She wants to work at our dicinal shop. Madam Lin, this is our owner.”
Lu Liangwei reached out her hand to the woman at this. “How do you do? I’m the owner of this shop.”
Madam Lin beca emotional as she looked at the tender little hand that was extended toward her. Her eyes slowly turned red.
She reached out with both hands and gently held Lu Liangwei’s hand within her palms. She tried her best to hide it, but her voice still trembled a little. “I’m fine, I’m fine!”
The smile on Lu Liangwei’s face stiffened a bit. It was the first ti they were eting. Was Madam Lin not being a little too friendly?
Lu Liangwei’s hand struggled a little and when Madam Lin noticed it, she quickly let go of Lu Liangwei’s hand. Madam Lin seed a little uneasy about it. “I’m sorry. I... I’ve embarrassed myself. It’s because Miss looks a lot like my daughter...”
Lu Liangwei was moved. “Madam Lin, is your daughter not with you?”
Madam Lin nodded with slight sorrow. “Yes. I left her not long after she was born.”
Lu Liangwei ca to a realization when she heard this.
It was no wonder Madam Lin acted that way just now. It was because she missed her daughter.
“It’s fine, Madam Lin. Don’t take it to heart,” Lu Liangwei consoled her.
She added, “Madam Lin, are you interested in the work at our dicinal shop?”
Madam Lin gathered her thoughts, but her gaze toward Lu Liangwei continued to be soft and tender. “Yes, I’m very interested. I have been learning dical skills for a while, but most dical halls do not accept female physicians. I had nowhere to contribute my skills and it was a coincidence that I saw the notice you had put up on the physician hiring board today, so I thought I’d co over to try my luck.”
She quickly continued, as if worried Lu Liangwei would reject her, “If you’re worried that my dical skills aren’t good enough to be the physician at the dicinal shop, you can test . If I fail in any aspect, you can choose not to hire .”
Lu Liangwei nodded. This was an era that was indeed harsher to won. Even if a woman had excellent dical skills, it would still be difficult for them to find work at dical halls.
“The test is a must. After all, this is a dicinal shop and we hope that the dical skills of all our physicians are up to par.”
“I understand. Please proceed with testing , Miss,” Madam Lin cald down and she sounded quite confident.
Lu Liangwei nodded. “Alright.”
From Lu Liangwei’s point of view, the physician hired for the dicinal shop must not only have solid dical skills, he or she must also possess physician ethics.
