Chapter 105 Carriage
Shen Jinan hurried back to Chunhetang, where a patient was already waiting for her.
"Doctor Shen, you're finally here. The clinic is so busy that you can't even keep your feet on the ground."
The clerk came forward anxiously, and Shen Jinan waved his hand to indicate that he understood, then sat down at the consultation table.
"Doctor, Aunt Bao, who treated me yesterday, asked me to come here. I heard that you are a very skilled doctor. Please take a look at me."
The person who came was Zhang the butcher who sold pork in the town. The Aunt Bao he mentioned was the woman who was cured by Shen Jinan yesterday.
"I'm not that skilled, I just know some Huangqi techniques. Come on, stick out your hands and tongue."
Shen Jinan had a gentle attitude and carefully examined Butcher Zhang’s symptoms.
"Your case is easy. You don't need acupuncture. Just take some medicine and drink it for seven days."
Shen Jinan already had an idea in his mind, and he knew that Butcher Zhang was just an ordinary citizen, so he just prescribed a few medicines and let him catch the victim and go back.
"Hey, thank you, Doctor Shen." Butcher Zhang didn't expect the treatment to be so quick. He happily took the prescription and went to get the medicine.
After seeing off Butcher Zhang, many patients came, all of whom were introduced by Aunt Bao and Butcher Zhang.
Some of them are embroiderers in embroidery shops, some are blacksmiths, and most of them are ordinary people. They dare not see a doctor if they have a headache or fever, for fear that their pockets will be taken away.
Now that they heard that Chunhetang had such a bodhisattva-like doctor, Shen, everyone rushed in.
At first, some people didn't believe it, but after seeing that Aunt Bao and Butcher Zhang's old illnesses were gone, they finally believed it and left.
The threshold of Chunhetang was almost broken down today. Seeing so much more income on the books, Boss Wen became more convinced that he had made the right choice in hiring Shen Jinan.
He also increased Shen Jinan's monthly medical fee by three taels of silver, fearing that Shen Jinan would go to another clinic.
Shen Jinan naturally would not refuse a job that would pay him money and increase his experience points. After a day of operation, his experience points increased by about 600.
If this goes on, the debt owed by the detoxification pills will be paid off soon. Thinking of this, Shen Jinan felt happy.
In the evening, Shen Jinan left Chunhetang and first went to Wu Yang to get a carriage. Because of the extra one or two taels of silver, Wu Yang respected Shen Jinan even more and pointed out a cheap horse market to Shen Jinan.
"How much is this horse for?"
Shen Jinan entered the horse market and casually pointed to a bay horse and asked.
"Miss, you have good taste. This horse costs twenty taels of silver."
The horse vendor raised the price because he saw that she was young.
"You horse..."
Shen Jinan naturally knew the trick, and was about to argue with the vendor with a frown.
"How dare you raise the price with my sister!"
A fierce female voice sounded. The peddler and Shen Jinan looked over and saw a red lady in red riding clothes.
Her beautiful eyes were wide open, and she was riding a Ferghana horse, which made her look even more heroic.
The peddler had been in the horse market for many years, so he naturally knew Hongniangzi and quickly begged for mercy.
"Mrs. Hongniang is very magnanimous. I was blind and didn't even realize that this girl was Hongniang's sister. I deserve to be beaten! I deserve to be beaten!"
The peddler immediately started hitting himself in the face left and right, and soon his face was all red.
But if he didn't do it himself, Lady Hong would get angry and his fate would be even worse.
"Huh, so what you mean is that if it's not my sister, you can deceive anyone else at will, right?"
Hongniang was still furious and vowed to make the peddler pay the price. The peddler was in tears and was asking for help from Shen Jinan.
Shen Jinan's eyebrows curved when he saw Hong Niangzi standing up for him.
"Okay, sister, don't let this kind of thing make you sick. Just kick people like this out of the horse market."
After being persuaded by Shen Jinan, Hong Niangzi's anger subsided a little. She quickly got off the horse and rubbed Shen Jinan's delicate little face with the back of her hand holding the whip.
"My sister is kindhearted." She smiled gently at Shen Jinan, then turned to the vendor with a cold face, "How dare you raise the price in the horse market? Get out of here!"
The peddler realized that he had saved his life and ran away with his things.
Seeing this, the horse dealers nearby became quiet and didn't dare to act rashly again.
"Sister, you want to buy a horse? Why didn't you tell me? I just got a few good horses, all shipped from the Western Regions. You can just take two away."
Hong Niang threw the horse to her followers, took Shen Jinan's hand and smiled with her eyebrows curved.
"I appreciate your kindness, but with the situation in the village, we really don't need such a good horse. Such a good horse should be left to capable people like you."
Shen Jinan smiled and pushed it back with ease, and then the two of them happily picked up horses at the horse market.
With Hongniang in charge, Shen Jinan bought two young and strong horses, both of which were bright bay red in color.
"I have to thank you today, sister. Why don't you take my new carriage home and I'll make you something delicious!"
Shen Jinan held Hongniang's arm, smiling like a flower.
Hearing this, Hongniang's eyes lit up and she said yes repeatedly.
The two of them first went to Wu Yang's carriage. When Hongniang saw that the carriage was empty, she let out a sigh, and her followers immediately understood what she meant.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Shen Jinan's carriage was covered with thick blankets, mattresses for the backrests, and an exquisite tea table. Curtains were hung on the windows with tassels at the corners.
The whole carriage looked more comfortable. Lady Hong nodded with satisfaction, but Shen Jinan was stunned, "Sister, sister..."
"Okay, sister, there's no need to say anything more between you and me."
Lady Hong patted Shen Jinan's soft little hand and pulled her into the carriage without saying anything.
When the carriage entered the village, it attracted a lot of people's attention.
Sui Sui Huan Huan and Ming Zai finished their classes for the day and were playing outside. When Ming Zai saw the carriage, he opened his mouth in surprise.
"Happy New Year! Look, the carriage!"
Mingzai excitedly pulled Sui Sui Huanhuan, and Sui Sui Huanhuan also looked over curiously.
As a result, they saw Hongniang and Shen Jinan getting off the carriage together. The two little guys looked at each other and immediately ran over.
"Auntie! Mother!"
The two heard the soft and tender voice of a baby and turned around at the same time.
"Oh, my dear auntie."
Hongniang hugged the two dumplings, they smelled so good that she was reluctant to let go.
"Auntie, mother, why did you come back together in a carriage today? Is this Auntie's new carriage?"
Huanhuan looked up at the carriage curiously, with a look of wonder on her face.
"Silly child, this is your family's new carriage. You can go out in it from now on!"
Matchmaker smiled and twisted Huanhuan's little face.
"Our new carriage?! Mother! We're going to have a carriage?"
Huanhuan opened her mouth wide, Suisui beside her also showed a look of surprise, and Mingzi was completely stunned.
The news that Shen Jinan's family had a carriage spread throughout the village.
