Chapter 185 This Little Fish Cares
"Fuling, there is a shop on Yongning Street. How about I open a clinic for you?"
"Miss, did I do something wrong? I still have to serve you."
Shen Yuan didn't expect that Fuling would be shocked by his words. She quickly explained, "No, I told you about this before. I'm not trying to chase you away. I have several empty shops now. Why not use them to do something?"
My grandmother gave me a lot of land deeds. Some of the shops were rented out, some were run by hired people, and some were empty.
There are many people living near Yongning Street, so Shen Yuan thinks it is suitable to open a clinic.
"Fuling, listen to me. Now, except for the wealthy families, it is not easy for ordinary people to find female doctors. Women always have some inconvenient diseases, and at this time, female doctors like you are needed. Besides, I am not asking you to leave. If you go to the clinic, you can also accept disciples."
Shen Yuan told them about the case, "If the girls all have a skill, they can make a living on their own, and they don't have to be sold out anymore."
Bai Zhi beside her couldn't help but speak up, "Fuling, you fool, this is a great thing. If it weren't for our girl's kindness, this wouldn't have happened. Why are you still hesitating?"
Fuling naturally understood this truth. As long as the girl didn't ask her to leave, it would be fine. She knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Yuan, "Fuling, thank you, girl."
Shen Yuan helped the man up and said, "Why thank me? You are doing a good job and you are making money for me." She said to the other three maids, "You also have your own arrangements, but things have to be done slowly. Let's open the clinic first."
Shen Yuan did not plan to use public funds to open a clinic. Her family was generous to her, and she had saved some money over the years. The shop her grandmother gave her also collected a lot of rent every month. Add to that the gold reward from the emperor last time, and it was more than enough to open a clinic.
The next day, her father and brother were on duty, so Shen Yuan went to her sister-in-law's place to play with her little nephew and mentioned her idea of opening a clinic.
"The doctors in the clinics outside are all male. They are not very likely to accept female apprentices. I think Fuling will be able to accept female apprentices in the future. Even if it's just one, it will be good."
After hearing this, He Ying immediately wanted to give Shen Yuan the banknotes. Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are acting like I am here just to get the money. I have enough money now. When the clinic is open, you can give me more. This way, you and I will be partners."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. It's hard for you to think of all this. Manman is really a kind-hearted child."
He Ying put the child on the bed and hugged Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan leaned on her sister-in-law's arms as she did before, "As a girl, we have to think about other girls. Even if we can only help one or two people, it's worth it."
Shen Yuan didn't tell her father about this matter yet, and He Ying didn't tell Shen Su either, so let's just keep it as a secret between daughters for now.
Shen Yuan took Fuling and the others out a few times and walked around Yongning Street. There were a lot of people around there, but there was only one clinic, and the prices were not low. There was indeed great potential in opening another clinic.
In addition to her daily work, Fuling has been using her spare time these days to organize her medical books and the prescriptions her master left her. Shen Yuan also gave her some money so that she could go out and buy what she needed.
In a blink of an eye, it is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Qiqiao Festival. On this day every year, unmarried men and women will dress up, meet their loved ones, and go out for fun in the streets. Many people will say what they dare not say on other days.
The seventh day of the first lunar month was not a day for rest, but as the festival was approaching, Emperor Zhaoming generously allowed everyone to take a day off. He announced during the morning court on the sixth day that no one would have to report for duty on the seventh day.
Naturally, Shen Yuan received Xie Hui's invitation early in the morning and did not even have dinner at home. After dinner, seeing that it was getting dark, Shen Yun waved his hand and asked his son to take his daughter-in-law out quickly.
Shen Yun ordered his son, "Bring Sui Sui to me, so that I, as a grandfather, can also hold him full today."
When Shen Yuan went out today, she was still worried that her father was upset, so she went to her father to make trouble and make him happy. In fact, Shen Yun had been used to it for so many years. If she was really sad every time she came to these days, how could she live like this?
Shen Yuan and Xie Hui were already engaged, so they didn't need to wear masks when they went out this time. Moreover, as soon as they saw each other, their hands unconsciously stuck together.
During the Chinese Valentine's Day, the streets are almost filled with couples of young men and women, and of course there are also...
"Shuyan? Brother Kuang, what are you guys doing..."
Shen Yuan looked at Lu Shuyan, then at Kuang Qianfan next to her, his eyes widened, and he had no idea how these two people got together.
That would not have been enough, Shen Yuan also saw there was another man behind them, and Shen Yuan noticed that his eyes were always on Lu Shuyan.
Xie Hui reminded him at the right time, "He is Yuwen Mu, the commander of the Imperial City Department."
Seeing Shen Yuan, Lu Shuyan and Kuang Qianfan both breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Shuyan pulled Shen Yuan aside to talk, leaving the men behind.
"Shuyan, when did you and Brother Kuang get together?"
Lu Shuyan shook her head, "We are not together. Our families asked us to see each other today, but we couldn't get away from them, so we came out together. We'll say it's not suitable in a few days."
It was not against the rules for unmarried men and women to meet each other during the Qiqiao Festival. Her mother told her about the Kuang family, and Lu Shuyan even did some research on her own. The Kuang family had a good family tradition, and Kuang Qianfan was a decent person. She had to marry him anyway, and it was good to find such a family, so Lu Shuyan did not reject meeting Kuang Qianfan at first.
However, when the two of them went out today, Lu Shuyan quickly realized that Kuang Qianfan was also urged by his family to come here, and he did not have any different feelings towards her.
Kuang Qianfan also took the initiative to tell her that it was just to deal with his family and he would explain it clearly when he got back. Lu Shuyan did not express her original thoughts. She thought that she could just muddle through. If others did not think so, there was no need to make them accept her ideas.
"What about the one at the back?"
"The one at the back..." Lu Shuyan paused for a moment, "He probably came here to join in the fun."
To be honest, Yuwen Mu has no family background, and even lost both his parents at an early age. He is definitely an outstanding person to have come this far and sit on the position of commander of the Imperial City Department.
From the gift he gave her in return, Lu Shuyan could sense his intention, but matters of the heart could not be forced, and she could not have any other thoughts about him for the time being.
If she were facing someone like Kuang Qianfan, she would be able to marry him with peace of mind, and they could respect each other and live together in the future. But if someone showed true love to her, she would not want to marry him, because she would feel guilty if she could not return the same love.
Furthermore, once a person falls in love, he or she will become greedy. If they really get married in the future, Yuwen Mu may not be able to accept a wife who does not have him in his heart.
Moreover, considering Yuwen Mu's family background, not to mention her father who wanted to marry into a wealthy family, perhaps even her mother would not be able to accept it.
