Xiao Jingzhao opened a drawer, took out five silver notes, and pushed them in front of Xiang Song: "She has the ability to turn danger into safety for everyone, and she is truly skilled. I heard that she treats refugees almost without charging any fees. This person has medical ethics and should be rewarded handsomely."

Xiangyang watched from the side, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Master is really generous, a whole five hundred taels of silver!

If he had known this would happen, he should have abandoned martial arts and studied medicine. Perhaps if he had devoted himself to studying medicine, he would have already cured the young master's illness.

Just as he was lost in thought, Xiang Song nudged his arm and whispered, "You're practically drooling. Don't just stand there, come with me to get the banner."

Xiang Yang: "..."

No, I didn't. I just wanted to share my master's burdens.

Xiao Jingzhao seemed oblivious to their subtle interaction. He put down his pen and said to Xiang Song, "You speak fluently. When you see that female doctor, tell her about the young master's illness."

Xiang Yang: "..." Am I a stutterer?

After saying that, Xiao Jingzhao felt it was inappropriate, so he added, "Take her back to the Prince's Mansion to examine the young master. If she can cure the young master's illness, I will reward her handsomely."

Xiang Song and Xiang Yang accepted the order and left.

Jishetang's reputation has spread far and wide these past few days, and people are flocking to it seeking medical treatment.

Jiang Shuyue was in charge of taking pulses and prescribing medicine, Lin Miaoshou was in charge of dispensing the medicine, Su Jin and Su Nan were in charge of packing the medicine, and Su Huai Ren was in charge of collecting consultation fees.

When the headmaster arrived at the clinic, he saw a long queue outside the clinic.

By noon, the number of patients seeking treatment at the clinic had gradually decreased.

After seeing off the last patient, Su Huai-ren looked up at the door and saw the headmaster walking in with a pageboy, all smiles.

After several days of recuperation, the headmaster has recovered.

“Miss Jiang’s medical skills are superb, and she is kind and compassionate. I have come here specifically to express my gratitude.”

The headmaster gestured to his page to present a banner and a consultation fee.

Su Jin accepted the banner and saw that it read "Miraculous Healing Skills, Noble Medical Ethics" in bold and powerful characters, and was signed by Linjiang Academy.

Su Jin exclaimed in surprise, "The brushstrokes are flowing and graceful; this must be the calligraphy of the Headmaster."

Su Huai-ren quickly invited the headmaster to sit down, and Su Nan, with great tact, turned around to pour tea.

Jiang Shuyue also went to greet them. She gave a slight bow to the headmaster and said, "It is an honor for Jishetang to have the headmaster personally present us with his calligraphy."

"Miss Jiang, you're too kind. If it weren't for your treatment plan, the consequences would have been unimaginable." The headmaster said, glancing at Su Jin, thinking to himself, "This child is truly remarkable."

Those who can serve as the headmaster of Linjiang Academy are all graduates of the imperial examination. The original owner's calligraphy was also quite good, and Jiang Shuyue could tell at a glance that the banner was not written by an ordinary teacher.

Su Huai-ren echoed, "Having the Headmaster's calligraphy hanging in the hall truly brings honor to our humble abode."

"The headmaster's calligraphy has some of the style of Qingling Shanren."

"Mr. Su, you...you know Qingling Shanren?"

At this moment, Su Nan brought over tea, and Su Huai Ren took the tea and placed it on the table to the right of the headmaster.

"The year I passed the imperial examination, Qingling Shanren was working at the Hanlin Academy, and I was fortunate enough to work with him for some time."

Su Huai-ren said with a regretful expression: "It's a pity that the world is in chaos. The abbot of Qingling Mountain was very talented but could not be given important positions. He resolutely left to enjoy the mountains and rivers and live a carefree life."

"You're also a Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination)? And you're from the capital?" The headmaster leaned forward excitedly.

Looking at the refined and scholarly Su Huai-ren, the headmaster felt a deep sense of kinship.

"I am a stubborn and incompetent man, unwilling to compromise my principles, so... I was demoted back to my hometown, where I encountered a drought and became a refugee." Su Huai-ren said, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

"I admire Brother Su for giving up wealth and status to pursue a life of integrity. Qingling Mountain Man is also a man of character who does not covet power and wealth. Fortunately, I left the capital and, thanks to the Prince of Yannan, I have established myself in Laiyang."

They were busy saving lives at the academy and didn't exchange many words. But today, when they met again, they got along very well, like old friends who had been separated for a long time.

The headmaster and Su Huai-ren had a very pleasant conversation. It turned out that Qingling Shanren and the headmaster were classmates.

Seeing that Su Jin and Su Nan bore a resemblance to Su Huai Ren, the headmaster asked, "Are these two children your children?"

"It is indeed my son."

Immediately afterwards, Su Huai-ren introduced Lin Miao-shou to the headmaster.

Tears welled up in his eyes when he spoke of Jiang Shuyue.

“This child and Brother Lin are both benefactors to my family. Without her, my family would probably have had to go to a refugee resettlement village.”

"Uncle, you flatter me. If it weren't for Aunt's help back then, Qiuju and I wouldn't even have a place to live."

Jiang Shuyue said this only to comfort Su Huai Ren. She didn't want the Su family to feel indebted to her. With the Space in her possession, it would be easy for her to establish herself anywhere.

Furthermore, the Su family took great care of her, and they eventually became like family.

During the pleasantries, the headmaster learned that both Su Jin and Su Nan were well-educated, especially Su Jin, who had already read up to the Analects of Confucius.

His eyes showed appreciation: "Could these two children both study at Linjiang Academy?"

Su Huai-ren was surprised by this unexpected joy. He excitedly waved to Su Jin and Su Nan, saying, "Come over here and thank the headmaster. You finally have a place to study."

Being able to study at Linjiang Academy is a rare opportunity.

"Thank you very much, Headmaster."

As she watched the two brothers bow and thank the headmaster, Jiang Shuyue's lips curled slightly.

After Su Huai-ren saw the headmaster off.

He walked back happily.

"Yueya, the headmaster specifically instructed me to take Su Jin and Su Nan to the academy tomorrow when he got into the carriage."

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Shuyue's eyes: "Congratulations, Uncle. You must go tomorrow."

"Of course, it's the headmaster's invitation, how could I refuse? I invited the headmaster to lunch earlier, but he said the academy has been very busy lately and asked me to meet him another day."

Seeing Su Huai Ren's beaming face, Lin Miaoshou said, "Let's go back to the ward for lunch! Another patient will come soon and we won't be able to leave."

Su Jin closed the door of the clinic and strode towards the courtyard behind the street.

Lin Miaoshou deliberately lagged behind by a step and said to Jiang Shuyue, who was walking behind, "Yue'er, take us to Linjiang Academy to rescue people. Is this the effect you wanted?"

Jiang Shuyue coughed lightly and said seriously, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I didn't think that much about it."

"You're a clever girl, but you can't hide anything from this old man. Your plans go far beyond just sending Su Jin and Su Nan to the academy, don't they?"

Jiang Shuyue: "..."

They say old ginger is spicier, and he saw right through that.

When Aunt Su learned that her two sons could study at Linjiang Academy, she was so happy that she went to the kitchen and added an egg stir-fried with chives.

She had confidence in both children; Su Jin was sure to pass the imperial examination this autumn and become a scholar.

Su Nan quickly finished a bowl of rice, picked up his keys, and went to the clinic.

After the meal, Su Hui silently went to prepare writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones for the two brothers.

After Aunt Su and Qiu Ju finished washing the dishes, she took off her apron and walked towards the west wing where Jiang Shuyue lived.

Upon entering the room, one sees Shuisheng and Suisui sitting at the table reading.

Shuisheng has already learned to write the characters in the Three Character Classic.

Since Sui Sui was too young, Jiang Shuyue only taught him to recognize characters, not to rush him to learn to write.
