Chapter 298 Untitled
Lying on the bed, Li Sanniang's mind was filled with thoughts of the Holy Temple Gate and the mad holy son, but she had no clue what to do.
However, as things stand, at least Mr. Unlucky from Bad People is unlikely to get himself into trouble, so his safety is somewhat guaranteed.
However, based on past experience, we still cannot place all our hopes on others; we still need to prepare hidden weapons and poisons for ourselves.
Especially now that Li San Niang has learned the Golden Needle Technique from Doctor Liang, this Golden Needle Technique is a really good thing. Once you master the acupoints, it really is a good way to subdue enemies at close range.
Li San Niang only slept for two hours before getting up, as she still had to go to the clinic to work, and it wouldn't be good if she was late.
When Li San Niang finished her breakfast and was about to go out, the few men in black who had been in the side hall earlier had already left.
"Did my second brother prescribe some herbal medicine before he left?"
Qiu Xiang knew this was a question directed at her, so she replied, "I took the prescription with me and left, so Third Sister doesn't need to worry."
Li San Niang nodded, leaned back on the soft cushion behind her, closed her eyes, and wanted to take a nap before going to the clinic.
At the beginning of the Si hour (9:00), Qin Yanlan took a car into Changshoufang. In less than a quarter of an hour, she arrived at the gate with the plaque of "Women's Assistance Association".
The door was opened by Li's mother early in the morning. She was sweeping the yard when she heard the voice of inquiry at the door. She turned around and looked up. "Oh, Madam Qin, you've come. Please come in."
Because many people have recently come to the Midwife Assistance Association, and the first midwife exam has been held, the necessary items are almost ready.
Mother Li carried a tea tray from the small kitchen to the main hall. "Madam Qin, please don't mind. Because we don't have many guests on weekdays, the furniture and decorations aren't fully set up yet, so it looks a bit empty."
As the two were talking, Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li Er came in one after the other, one carrying fruit and the other carrying snacks.
"Don't say that, Li the Midwife. If you still find such a neat and spacious house unacceptable, then you'd probably have to live in the government's house."
Qin Yanlan's words were exaggerated, but that was truly what she thought.
You must know that living in Chang'an is not easy.
If you were to say that having a large mansion was a big deal in other parts of the Tang Dynasty, then having such a sizable mansion in Chang'an, especially within the inner city, was something to be proud of.
"Come, let's show Madam Qin how this woman's helper is doing?"
Qin Niangzi got up with a happy expression and, with Li's mother and the others leading her, began to stroll around the main hall where she was now staying, starting from the first courtyard.
“This house was bought by my third aunt. It’s not small, with three courtyards in the front and back,” Li’s mother said, pointing to the large room opposite the main hall. “This room can be used as Qin Niangzi’s classroom. Although the tables and chairs inside are not brand new, they are all good ones that my family found through middlemen.”
When Qin Niangzi entered the room that would later be used as a school, she was amazed. It was really big. There were about thirty tables set up at the moment. If they were squeezed in, it could probably accommodate fifty students.
After visiting the first section, the group moved on to the second section.
"If Madam Qin is interested, she may choose one of these houses to live in."
It's cheap to stay here, and the well in the courtyard is a sweet water well, so water is readily available.
When Qin Yanlan looked at the courtyard wall, which had clearly just been sealed off and should have led to the third courtyard, she looked puzzled. She wondered why the courtyard gate had been sealed off.
"So that Madam Qin knows, my Third Madam's acupuncture master and senior brother live in this third courtyard. Since they are men, it is inconvenient for them, so we had someone seal up the courtyard wall."
Qin Yanlan then understood and nodded in acknowledgment.
Finally, Qin Yanlan was very happy with the Li family's high regard for her and the excellent treatment they gave her.
Qin Yanlan immediately nodded in agreement to join the Women's Assistance Association as a long-term mentor and decided to move into the courtyard.
"After all, I live alone in Yongpingfang. That house was bought by my husband when he was still alive. I originally planned to give it to Yingqiu after she got married and then go back to my hometown."
But the child didn't want me to be too far away from her, so I continued to stay in Chang'an.
"That's even better!"
"Whenever Madam Qin wishes to move, just let us know, and we will certainly come to help."
The conversation went smoothly, and the middleman that Sister-in-law Li had invited in advance also came to the door. The middleman wrote the employment contract according to the previously agreed employment book. After both parties read it and had no objections, they both signed and pressed their fingerprints.
"President Li, please wait a moment. I'll take it to the Jingzhao Prefecture to sign the official contract, keep a record, and come right back."
"Thank you for your trouble, Chen Yalang. This is the middleman's fee. Thank you."
Li's mother was overjoyed and persuaded Qin Yanlan to stay and go to a restaurant on the street for lunch. Only then did she call a car to take Qin Yanlan home.
...
Before she knew it, it was time for Li San Niang to discuss with Mr. Bu Ke how to use cowpox to prevent smallpox.
Today, after finishing his shift, Nineteen drove the carriage directly to Pingkangfang. The carriage of the Li family was quite ordinary, and the horses pulling it were just ordinary brown-coated horses.
Under the cover of night, Li San Niang and her group arrived at the back door of Shi Hua Lou, where Qi Zhi Die was already waiting.
"It's getting so cold, why wait outside?"
Li San Niang genuinely felt that Qi Zhi Die didn't need to wait at the door. After all, in Yongping Ward, even in such a cold season, there were still women who wore only gauze dresses and skirts to make themselves look beautiful.
"Third Sister, I'm wearing a cloak, but I've only been waiting a little while. Come in quickly, there's a charcoal brazier burning inside, it'll be much warmer."
Sure enough, when Li San Niang entered the house, a wave of heat hit her.
It's just that I didn't have my glasses on at that moment; otherwise, the alternating hot and cold temperatures would have caused them to fog up.
"The master hasn't arrived yet. I'll have the maid serve you some late-night snacks so you can have some."
"I'm afraid Third Sister rushed over here as soon as she finished her shift, and hasn't had dinner yet?"
Li San Niang had already become familiar with Qi Zhi Die, so she didn't stand on ceremony, washed her hands, and sat down on the chair to wait.
So much time has passed, and Nineteen and Qiuxiang are no longer the same as when they first arrived. They listened to Li Sanniang's words, chose seats at the round table, and picked up their chopsticks to eat.
Having replenished her energy, Li Sanniang chatted with Qi Zhidie over red bean soup, a small snack after the meal: "Did the women feel any better after taking those medicinal soups?"
"Later, when I have some free time, everyone can come over so I can examine them. If they need a single prescription, I can write one."
"Thank you for your concern, Third Sister."
Although Qi Zhidie didn't mention it, Li Sanniang could tell that Jiu Niang's current condition was probably not very good. However, she still had to do her duty as a doctor.
"Is Ninth Sister available now? I'll go check on her."
