Chapter 88: Traveling to the ancient times to open a clinic 2: The Chinese medicine clinic system...
Looking at the bowl of medicine handed over by Gu Jingxing, Shen Qian felt mixed emotions. What was he going to do?
Shen Qian secretly sorted out the plot of the original book in her mind. Why did things deviate so much from the original book just after she came here?
The original character in the book was already pregnant, but before she fell into a coma, she took her own pulse and found that she was not pregnant.
In the book, Gu Jingxing is a high-handed and cold-faced general, but at this moment he sent someone to escort her out of the house, and even sat by her bed with medicine in his hand, looking like he really cared about her life or death.
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.
Chen Qian was an experienced veteran, but at this moment he just couldn't figure out what was going on.
Gu Jingxing saw Shen Qian's defensive expression and didn't appreciate it. He also knew that she had many doubts in her heart. So while stirring the medicine with a porcelain spoon, he considered how to say it to dispel her concerns: "I am deeply sorry for your situation."
Shen Qian's heart trembled slightly, and she suddenly looked at him: "You, feel sorry for me?"
Her voice was hoarse: "This has nothing to do with you, right?"
Seeing her answer, Gu Jingxing scooped up a spoonful of medicine and handed it to her lips: "Drink the medicine first, then listen to me."
Shen Qian: “…”
She took the medicine bowl from him. She couldn't let this powerful general feed her the medicine personally, right?
She sniffed it, identifying the ingredients of the medicine, and not noticing anything wrong, so she picked up the bowl and drank it all.
Gu Jingxing watched her finish the medicine, then helped her put the medicine bowl aside.
"As the eldest son of the Gu family, I failed to stop my second brother's marriage to the princess, nor did I fight for the treatment you deserve. As Jing Ting's eldest brother, I am naturally guilty."
Shen Qian breathed a sigh of relief, so that's it.
Her expression was natural, her eyes clear. "Brother... General, there's no need to be so. I'm originally from a humble background, and marrying into the Gu family is a blessing. It was a luxury in the first place. Now that things are like this... there's nothing to complain about. Brother, don't worry. Since I've already accepted the divorce letter, I naturally won't create any more trouble to hinder his marriage with the princess."
Gu Jingxing frowned upon hearing this, but he also knew that it would be superfluous for him to say anything at this moment, so he only asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
Shen Qian thought that what Gu Jingxing was most concerned about was probably the future whereabouts of his former sister-in-law. As soon as she received the divorce letter, he immediately sent someone to send her away, fearing that she would stay in the mansion for too long and add variables to the Gu family and the royal marriage.
This is probably not just Gu Jingxing's opinion, but also the opinion of the entire Gu family.
If she wants to survive, she must be divorced and disappear far away.
Shen Qian thought, she also wanted to leave, but the problem was, where could she go now so that the Gu family would feel at ease and let her go?
Chen Qian had just come here and was still adapting to this world, and he didn't know where he could go.
An idea struck her, and she said, "I have no plan. How about the General show me the way?"
She was taking a risk, betting that the eldest son of the Gu family did not want to kill her, an abandoned woman. He would just name a place and she would accept the arrangement obediently. This would at least make him feel at ease.
Gu Jingxing lowered his eyes and looked at her, a complicated look flashing in his eyes: "Are you willing to accept my arrangement?"
Shen Qian nodded: "If the general is willing to take the trouble, I will do my best."
Gu Jingxing stood up and said, "I will leave someone to take care of you. You can rest and recover first. You can set off again after you recover."
When Shen Qian heard that Gu Jingxing wanted to keep someone to take care of him, she quickly said, "General, this is not necessary..."
"Didn't you just say you would obey everything?" Gu Jingxing turned around and looked at her.
Shen Qian: “…”
Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.
Judging from the attitude of the eldest son of the Gu family, he really has no intention of harming her. I guess part of the reason for leaving someone to take care of her is to monitor her and make sure she doesn't return to the capital to cause trouble for the Gu family's marriage.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, General."
After hearing this, Gu Jingxing, who was about to leave, kept looking at her for some reason.
The man lying on the bed at this moment still had an unhealthy blush on his face, and even speaking was difficult for him, but he straightened his back stubbornly.
"In the future, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble when we are outside, you don't have to call me general. Just... call me brother."
After Gu Jingxing finished speaking, he walked out of the room without caring about Shen Qian's reaction.
Shen Qian was left sitting on the bed in shock.
What did he say?
after?
They probably won't meet again in the future, right?
In her heart, Chen Qian didn't want to have anything to do with the Gu family anymore. Gu Jingxing had left people to look after and monitor her. She wouldn't alert him if she didn't make any unusual movements. But even if she did, she wouldn't alert him, as his men would probably deal with her on the spot.
Therefore, no matter from which angle, there will be no chance for them to meet again.
After drinking the medicine, Chen Qian began to sweat. She knew that she needed to rest more, so she lay down. However, she had slept too much before, and now she felt dizzy as she began to think about her future plans.
"System, are you there? If I don't have children in the future, how will the system complete its mission?"
[…The original task was to change the fate of yourself and your children. Since you don’t have children, you should change the fate of other children as much as possible while changing your own fate. In this way, in the final settlement, I will note the special circumstances for you and consider adding extra points as appropriate.]
After Shen Qian got the system's approval, he stopped thinking about it and fell asleep.
Gu Jingxing did not break his promise and he left someone to take care of her.
Since he left, a girl named Ling Yuan has been taking care of Shen Qian personally, and a doctor would come to treat her every two days.
The cold came on quickly, but it took her fifteen full days to recover.
"That's great, girl. The doctor just said that your cold has healed." Ling Yuan usually doesn't have much emotional fluctuations, but she was very happy at this moment.
"Has your master ever told me where to go after I recover from my illness?" Shen Qian asked.
Ling Yuan nodded: "Yes, don't worry young lady, the lord has arranged everything."
"What's the situation in the capital now? Has the Gu family married Princess Shaoyang?" Shen Qian asked.
Ling Yuan was a little embarrassed: "This..."
"I have just recovered from my illness, do you want me to go out and find out by myself?"
"No, no, young lady, let me tell you. Gu Jingting, the second son of the Gu family, has married Princess Shaoyang just yesterday..." Ling Yuan said cautiously, observing Chen Qian's expression as she spoke.
Of course Ling Yuan knew that the girl in front of her was the original wife of the second young master of the Gu family, the former second wife. She was afraid that her words would stimulate her sorrow. She had just recovered from her illness, how could she bear such bad news?
"Since they are already married, there will be no danger for us to set off. Why don't we set off today?" After hearing the news, Shen Qian had only one idea.
Since Princess Shaoyang has successfully married Gu Jingting, and this insignificant stumbling block has disappeared far away, as long as she stays away from the capital and that place of trouble, they will not think of finding her and killing her.
Ling Yuan immediately went to arrange a carriage. When Chen Qian left the Gu Mansion, she didn't take anything with her except some small change. However, Ling Yuan said that she didn't need to worry about these things as the lord had already arranged them. So Chen Qian didn't ask any more questions.
After getting on the carriage, Shen Qian opened the points mall and took a look. Now she has 16,000 points, and the gold fingers she can redeem are much more than in the previous world.
However, some of the more helpful golden fingers cost quite high fees, so she decided to save some money and only spent 3,000 points to redeem the clinic management system.
The reason why Shen Qian chose to open a clinic was mainly because the mission in this world went wrong, and she went from saving her own children to saving other people's children.
According to the experience of the previous world, as long as her clinic business is good and she can cure as many children as possible,
Nothing can change a child's fate better than opening a clinic to treat patients.
If it was just a simple TCM skill system, she would only need to spend 1,000 points, but with the addition of clinic management, the amount increased threefold.
However, her Chinese medicine skills were of little help to her. She was in urgent need of making money. She had just arrived in this place and it was not easy for a woman like her to open a clinic in ancient times.
Although Ling Yuan had repeatedly hinted that the lord would provide her with what she needed for her future life, Chen Qian understood that she absolutely could not place all her hopes on Gu Jingxing.
Although she could trust him temporarily, he was still a member of the Gu family. If she wanted to stay in this world peacefully, it would be safer for her to keep a distance from the Gu family.
Besides, if she relied on Gu Jingxing for everything, she would not be able to complete her mission.
Chen Qian exchanged the system and felt at ease. He only knew that the carriage was heading northwest, passing through countless cities, and he didn't know where the final destination was.
Half a month later, they finally arrived at Anrong County, a small town near the border.
"Miss, we are here. The master has already had someone purchase a house here, and has bought a few maids in advance. Their backgrounds have also been checked in advance, and there are no problems. Miss, you can live here in peace from now on."
After Ling Yuan finished speaking, the carriage stopped at the gate of a house. As soon as it stopped, servants came out to serve.
This is a typical courtyard house, and it looks like an idle property bought from someone else.
Chen Qian walked into the yard accompanied by Ling Yuan.
"Young lady, you will live in the main house. The east wing is currently the guest room, the west wing is the study, and the servants live in the side rooms."
Shen Qian said, "I don't need so many servants. Your master has already spent a lot of money. Please help me dismiss half of the maids and servants."
Ling Yuan knew that these were all people in the open, so it didn't matter if half of them were dismissed, so she did it directly. Butler Wu had previously instructed that everything should be done according to the girl's wishes, and that after coming to Anrong, she could do whatever she wanted.
In the end, Shen Qian was left with only four maids to serve her personally. In addition to Ling Yuan, the other three were named Su Yun, Mei Xiang, and Cui Liu.
Since they were going to be together every day, Shen Qian also asked about the three of them.
These three people were specially selected by Ling Yuan. They are all good at work. Suyun is good at accounting. Cuiliu is a local of Anrong. When her father was alive, she also went up the mountain to collect herbs. Meixiang doesn't have any special skills, but she is careful and dexterous. She can even embroider a flower while mending clothes.
Chen Qian was very satisfied with these three people, and called Ling Yuan to ask her separately.
"What about you? You've already gotten me to safety. What are your plans from now on?"
"Girl, the task given to me by the lord is to follow you. Do you want to send me away too?" Ling Yuan asked in a lost voice.
Chen Qian sighed. The two of them had been together for more than a month, and she knew that Ling Yuan helped and took care of her in every way, and she didn't have any bad intentions.
It seems that Gu Jingxing also considered this when selecting people and sent someone he particularly trusted.
"Ling Yuan, of course I won't chase you away. However, if you follow me, I'm afraid you'll be trapped in this small town forever. You know my identity and situation, and I can never return to the capital. Are you sure you want to follow me?"
Since she is someone close to General Gu, she is afraid that she has more important things to do.
There was really no need for Ling Yuan to stay with her in this small town.
"I'm sure! Young lady, as long as you don't chase me away, I won't leave. I will always follow you. From now on, I will be your personal maid. When you go out, I will take care of things for you. Many things will be much more convenient."
Chen Qian originally planned to fabricate an identity for herself that of a poor woman who had fled to seek refuge with her relatives after her husband died, but failed. However, Gu Jingxing was purchasing a yard and maids, so she probably couldn't use this identity. So she asked Ling Yuan to tell others that she was the widow of a wealthy businessman, whose husband died in the war, and she had come to Anrong to settle down.
"Girl, there's nothing wrong with this arrangement."
[You have bound the Chinese Medicine Clinic System. The current startup capital required: at least 20 taels of silver. Current capital: 0.]
[Please obtain start-up capital as soon as possible.]
Shen Qian was also very worried when he saw that the funds were 0.
She didn't want to trouble Ling Yuan. This matter was difficult to bring up, but she came from the Gu family penniless and had to rely on Ling Yuan's help for everything, so she had to ask her for help.
"Girl! What are you talking about? The lord has already ordered that as long as you need it, we will satisfy you no matter what." Ling Yuan hurriedly said after hearing Chen Qian say that he was short of money and wanted to borrow from Gu Jingxing through her.
She disappeared for only a cup of tea, and when she came back she brought one thousand taels of silver and a cloth bag, and placed them in front of Shen Qian.
"Girl, there are still five hundred taels in the cloth bag. These are enough for you to use for a while. If it is still not enough, you can just tell me."
Shen Qian swallowed and said, "No need for so much, I only need to withdraw one hundred taels."
She likes money and rich people, but she is still a little cautious towards Gu Jingxing.
"Then put it here first. If you need it again, it won't be so troublesome and you can use it at any time."
Chen Qian couldn't persuade Ling Yuan, so he had to ask, "You can contact your master, right?"
"Yes, we have a communication channel with the lord. Miss, do you have a letter that you want me to deliver?" Ling Yuan asked.
Shen Qian nodded.
So, ten days later, an expedited letter was delivered to General Gu through the secret guard.
