When Mengzhu appeared at Baibaozhai, it caused a small sensation.
Because she brought a brocade banner and more than a dozen boxes with her.
"Miss Xiao, thank you for saving me."
Mengzhu expressed her gratitude.
"This 'Healer's Benevolence' banner is for you, along with these other items."
She pointed to the dozen or so boxes.
"These are all the things I've saved up over the past ten years. They're not particularly valuable, but I still want to give them to you to thank you for saving my life."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
This is the first time I've ever seen a patient give her their entire fortune.
This girl is quite grateful.
Since New Year's Eve, no one from the Meng family had come to see her, and she had assumed that they didn't go out during the first month of the lunar year.
What she didn't know was that the reason the Meng family kept quiet was because Madam Meng was worried that the story of the ruptured spleen was unfounded and that she had deliberately set a trap.
When Minister Meng heard this conjecture, he agreed with it to some extent.
The couple were deeply saddened that their daughter, on whom they had placed so much hope, had been crippled.
They wouldn't even bother questioning Xiao Qingyin, so why would they come to express their gratitude?
Only Meng Zhu firmly believed that Xiao Qingyin had saved her.
She will never forget how painful and terrifying it was to faint from the pain.
That was the first time she truly felt that she could die.
Death is not something that is far away; it can come at any time. Even a simple accidental bump into a corner of a board can take a person's life.
But she only realized this when she was about to die.
If she had understood sooner, she would definitely have undergone surgery when Xiao Qingyin gave her the diagnosis.
Fortunately, Xiao Qingyin used her miraculous medical skills to save her life.
Her parents lamented that she had lost her spleen and was no longer a complete person.
She was incredibly grateful that she could still live in the world like a normal person.
Compared to being able to enjoy the bright moon, gentle breeze, sunshine, rain, and delicious food, what is a spleen?
It was Xiao Qingyin who allowed her to survive.
She was willing to give her everything to express her gratitude.
However, even though she was willing to give it to him, Xiao Qingyin refused to accept it.
"You can just pay for my medical and surgical expenses."
Meng Zhu insisted: "These are the fees I paid."
“That’s too much.” Xiao Qingyin chuckled. “If you think you have too much money, you can donate the extra to a charity or something.”
She definitely won't accept it.
She was there to treat patients, not to confiscate their property. What kind of talk is it to take someone's entire fortune?
Seeing her resolute attitude, Meng Zhu had no choice but to abandon her original plan and, as Xiao Qingyin had instructed, only gave her one hundred taels for medical and surgical expenses.
It's just their monthly allowance, nothing to brag about.
He then elevated Xiao Qingyin's image in his mind even further: Miss Xiao is truly a good doctor who regards money as dirt.
Yi Shuihan: Hehe, hehehe.
After paying, she said sincerely, "Miss Xiao, may I learn medicine from you?"
Xiao Qingyin asked in surprise, "Why do you want to study medicine?"
Meng Zhu blushed slightly: "Now everyone in the capital knows that I have incomplete internal organs, so probably no one will be willing to marry me. I want to learn a skill so that I can support myself in the future."
After experiencing Xiao Qingyin's medical skills, she developed a strong interest in studying medicine.
I hope that one day I can also become a female doctor who saves lives.
Xiao Qingyin smiled and said, "If you just want to learn a skill, learning textiles or embroidery might be better than learning medicine. Learning medicine is a very long process, and you have to face life and death, which requires a very strong heart."
This girl was thinking of becoming Yi Shuihan's concubine during the palace banquet, but in the blink of an eye she wants to study medicine. It's probably just a whim.
Meng Zhu hurriedly said, "I may not be that strong right now, but I will work hard. Please give me a chance, okay?"
Xiao Qingyin had dealt with many people like her before and was very experienced in this.
He then said, "I don't take on people without a foundation. If you can memorize all the medical books and pharmacopoeias I've listed, I can recommend you for medical school."
Dae-hee's medical school is under preparation and should begin enrolling students in September.
Mengzhu was overjoyed: "Thank you! Just tell me which books I need to memorize."
Xiao Qingyin took out a notepad and made a book list.
Mengzhu left with the book list as if she had found a treasure.
Xiao Qingyin watched her departing figure and smiled slightly.
In just a few days, this girl will probably complete the learning process from beginner to giving up.
She sat down at the consultation desk and began her day's consultations.
Perhaps because it was not customary to see a doctor during the first month of the lunar year, only a few people with external injuries came to her for treatment.
After seeing them, she packed up her stall.
Just as I was about to head home, an elderly man with graying temples, a kind face, and a composed demeanor walked to the front of the stage, pointed to the painting hanging on the wall, and asked, "Who is this Layman Tianxin?"
Tianxin Jushi was the pseudonym that Situ Zhi gave herself.
Xiao Qingyin, unsure of the old man's intention, vaguely replied, "He's a friend of mine."
Who was his teacher?
"I didn't have a formal apprenticeship, but I copied a few painting manuals."
The old man's eyes immediately lit up.
When was this painting created?
"In the last few days."
"It's a good painting, with unique brushstrokes, conveying a sense of ease that moves from melancholy to freedom."
Xiao Qingyin felt a unique beauty in Situ Zhi's paintings, but she couldn't quite explain why she found them beautiful.
The old man's comments enlightened her.
“You’re right, she has indeed undergone some changes recently.”
The old man asked many questions about the painting, and finally, he asked Xiao Qingyin to introduce him to this Tianxin Jushi.
