Chapter 146: The First Medical Payment



After drinking the tea, Shopkeeper Liu felt that his dry and hoarse throat was instantly soothed. He felt so relaxed that he patted his chest and smiled.

"This medicinal tea is good, very good." He praised.

"Give two packets of medicinal tea to Manager Liu, so that he can use it anytime at home." Miss Jun said.

Liu'er answered yes, and the shopkeeper Liu smiled and waved his hand.

"That's very kind, that's very kind," he said.

"You're welcome. We're family." Miss Jun said.

We are a family. Shopkeeper Liu’s smile deepened.

Liu'er on the side curled her lips and said, "It's easy for my young lady to make anyone happy."

"Manager Liu, please take it. The medicine prescribed by my young lady is worth a fortune." She said, handing over the packaged medicinal tea.

Shopkeeper Liu laughed out loud.

"Brothers should be clear about accounts." He took the tea and added, "To be honest, Deshengchang and Jiulingtang are not the same family. I still have to pay for the medicine."

Miss Jun opened Jiulingtang in the capital. Although she used all the money from Deshengchang, she stated that Jiulingtang was her own business and had nothing to do with the Fang family.

Manager Liu and others could also understand it. After all, Miss Jun's surname was Jun, not Fang, and the Jiuling Hall was inherited from the Jun family.

"No need, Deshengchang's money is also mine." Miss Jun said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Liu laughed out loud. The child's words were really interesting.

He took the tea with a smile.

"Then I won't be polite." He said as he subconsciously lifted his feet and walked out, but halfway through he suddenly came to his senses.

No, he hasn't finished speaking yet, has he?

Why are you leaving with a smile on your face?

We haven’t talked about the serious matters yet!

This child was almost sent away by her.

"Miss Jun, remember what I just said." He quickly said, "Although this place is under the emperor's feet, it is also a mixed bag. First of all, there must be staff staying overnight in the hospital to guard the night."

Miss Jun nodded and said yes.

"Besides, please don't see patients at night." Manager Liu said. "You are a girl, and you are different from other doctors. It would be bad if something dangerous happened in the middle of the night."

Miss Jun smiled.

"Don't worry, boss. The patients I see at night are all people I know," she said. "Of course I won't go to those who come to my house unexpectedly."

Anyone who knows?

"Who knows what?" asked Shopkeeper Liu in confusion.

"I don't treat anyone casually. I don't treat everyone, and I certainly don't treat everyone who comes to see me in the middle of the night." Miss Jun said, "The woman who came to see me last night was the one I wanted to see."

Shopkeeper Liu was stunned.

"A bad omen?" he blurted out.

Miss Jun smiled.

Shopkeeper Liu looked surprised.

How is that possible? That woman...

He was about to speak when footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Miss Jun."

"Doctor Jun."

Two maids came in. Seeing Miss Jun in the hall, they knelt down and kowtowed.

Shopkeeper Liu was startled.

"Is your wife okay?" Miss Jun asked with a smile.

The two maids raised their heads and nodded happily.

"Yes, it's okay now." They said, with happy and complicated expressions.

Shopkeeper Liu also recognized them. These two maids were indeed the family that Miss Jun had stopped that day and told about the ominous omen.

Could it be that last night...

"Her wife suddenly fell ill last night. Fortunately, they remembered what I said, so they came to ask me to treat her." Miss Jun said to Shopkeeper Liu.

So that's it, Shopkeeper Liu looked at the two maids.

"Yeah yeah."

"We didn't listen to Miss Jun at the time. We didn't expect that Madam would really have a serious illness."

"It's a bad omen."

"Thank goodness Miss Jun reminded us and told us about Jiulingtang, otherwise we would not have been able to seek medical treatment."

The two maids spoke excitedly, wiping their tears.

"Oh, is that so?" Shopkeeper Liu nodded. "So that's how it is."

If this is the explanation for the omen, it does make sense.

"I'm glad you're okay." He said with a smile, looking at Miss Jun with relief.

The two maids thanked him again and carefully took out a small jewel box.

"Ms. Jun, this is the agreed medical fee," they said.

"No rush. It won't be too late to give it to me once you're sure your wife is well." Miss Jun said with a smile.

The two maids looked at her with complicated expressions.

Last night, Miss Jun pointed out where the thing was and then avoided the question, telling them that they could just send the medical fee after the disease was cured. She did not ask what the thing was, nor did she ask what was going on.

It is really hard to find a doctor who knows how to treat illnesses and doesn't ask many questions.

But then I thought, she could even communicate with the dead. What else could she not know?

You can offend a doctor, but you must not offend a doctor who can communicate with ghosts and gods.

So at dawn, the lady calmed down and asked someone to send the medical fee.

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, it’s just the consultation fee, how much money can it be?

"Jiulingtang is right here, we can't run away. If there are recurrences, we can come again." He said.

Miss Jun smiled without saying anything, then reached out to take the brocade box and opened it.

Shopkeeper Liu stroked his beard and smiled.

This was probably the first money I earned after entering the capital.

Thinking back to when I first came to the capital from Yangcheng to work as a shopkeeper, I was so happy when I received money from my first business that I couldn't sleep all night.

It doesn’t matter how much money you have; what matters is the evidence that the situation has been opened up.

Of course, the amount of silver he received was not small, five thousand taels.

As he thought about it, he casually glanced at the banknotes that Miss Jun had taken out of the jewel box.

Five thousand taels.

Five thousand taels!

He sucked in a breath of cool air because he pulled out a few strands of his beard.

Which doctor would charge five thousand taels for a single consultation?

For the first time, Shopkeeper Liu, who had been looking at banknotes for decades, thought that he had misread the banknotes.

It's crazy.

How is this possible?

After sending the two maids away, Shopkeeper Liu had no time to leave. He looked at the banknotes that Miss Jun had casually placed on the counter with a complicated expression.

"Ms. Jun, the medical fee... is so much?" he asked.

"Yes." Miss Jun looked at him and smiled, "So not everyone with any disease can come to me for treatment. It depends on whether the disease is worth my money."

Five thousand taels of medical fee.

This is really not something that everyone can afford.

But isn't this a bit too absurd?

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the banknotes, but someone really came to her for treatment and the disease was cured.

Is your family's medical skills really that amazing?

After seeing off the shopkeeper Liu, who was full of worries, Miss Jun told the shop assistant not to open the shop today and took Liu'er in to sleep.

Liu'er was filled with excitement but also a bit of fear.

"Miss, did you really see a ghost at that time?" she asked in a low voice.

Miss Jun smiled.

"Of course not," she said.

Liu Er cried out

"Then what..." She looked puzzled.

How do you know that the woman couldn't sleep at night because she thought she saw a ghost?

Miss Jun smiled, leaned on the pillow, fanned herself and looked out the window.

"I guessed," she said.

Liu'er was even more surprised.

"Guess?"

It’s a guess, but it’s not just a guess.

Guessing is based on what you know.

"Although she looked very energetic, her eyes were confused and her steps were unsteady, which were signs of long-term poor sleep. However, she tried her best to pretend to be very energetic to cover it up, which showed that she did not want others to know what happened."

"What can't be said to others? Either it is related to one's own private interests, or it is unbelievable."

Fortunately, this mistress in Haizhen has both of these qualities.

When the accident happened to Qing Haizhen, she was the first one to escape. Later, she saw that although the Qing family was badly damaged, it was still a well-established family. After the three-generation ban, the family would be able to prosper again. So she thought of letting her son marry into the Qing family. After all, she felt sorry for Qing Haizhen by running away, and it was something she was unwilling to tell the Qing family.

"What you think about during the day you dream about at night. What's empty in your heart you see in your mind. Plus, she hasn't slept well for so long, and her bad habits have accumulated and cycled. She's become more and more unstable in her mind, prone to hallucinations and fears, so I guess she's suffering from hallucinations." Miss Jun said with a smile.

Liu'er seemed to understand, but she wasn't trying to understand. She just followed whatever the young lady said.

"Then how did the lady guess what she was looking for and where it was?" she asked curiously.

This one.

Miss Jun looked at Liu'er.

"It's just a guess," she said.

Liu Er laughed out loud, not feeling strange or being treated perfunctorily at all.

"Never mind. Anyway, the lady cured her illness. This is a just a transaction of money and goods. There is no stealing, robbery or cheating involved. It's a mutual agreement between both parties." She said.

Miss Jun smiled and nodded.

"Liu'er is right," she smiled.

Liu'er also smiled, her eyes bright.

"Then our Jiulingtang will become famous and wealthy from now on," she said.

Miss Jun smiled.

"That won't happen," she said.
