Gu Shaohe said: "Although I am not familiar with the conditions in the capital, have you forgotten my identity?"
Song Ruoxue was confused and didn't expect Gu Shaohe to say, "I am a Jinyiwei now..."
Song Ruoxue said, "So what if you are a Jinyiwei? You are a Jinyiwei. How can you know more about this house than the people in the capital?"
Gu Shaohe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only say, "I am a member of the Imperial Guards after all. These people will not deceive Miss Lin by looking at my clothes."
Song Ruoxue was skeptical at this point, and looked at Gu Shaohe suspiciously, "That girl's surname is Lin, is she a doctor?"
"yes."
Song Ruoxue was getting more and more puzzled. "Why haven't I heard of any great female doctor named Lin?" Song Ruoxue could never have imagined that the famous female doctor from Yan State would come all the way to their capital city in the Central Plains to open a clinic.
Gu Shaohe could only say: "Then I don't know either."
Song Ruoxue looked at him suspiciously, "Could it be that you are deceiving me?"
Gu Shaohe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Miss, if I was lying to you, why would I tell you so much?"
Song Ruoxue still didn't believe it, so she gritted her teeth and said, "You are going to accompany Doctor Lin to visit the capital anyway. You are not as familiar with the capital as I am. It doesn't matter if you take him alone or with two people. Why don't I go with you?"
Gu Shaohe originally wanted to refuse. After all, this was not a place to watch the lantern parade, so why would he take her there?
But before he could say the words of refusal, Song Ruoxue's expression had already become as ugly as if she were eating someone's flesh.
Gu Shaohe had no choice, and was really afraid that Song Ruoxue would quarrel with him again, so he could only take everyone to find Lin Mingzhu.
Lin Mingzhu was resting in the inn during the day. Knowing that the Jinyiwei official Shen Qingqiu had instructed would come in the morning, she had already asked the servants to prepare less tea and wait.
Gu Shaohe also arrived very punctually. After knocking on the door a few times, Lin Mingzhu opened it.
Seeing that there was a handsome young man in front of him, wearing the court robes of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he confirmed the identity of the person. But when he looked to the side, he saw that there was a young and pretty girl standing next to the young man, who was also looking at him in surprise.
Lin Mingzhu is a beauty. She and Lin Mingyue are sisters from the same mother. Since Lin Mingyue can become a princess, she must be very beautiful. Lin Mingzhu's appearance is not inferior to Lin Mingyue, but her temperament is more than a little bit better than Lin Mingyue. When Song Ruoxue saw her suddenly, she was shocked by her indescribable beauty and was speechless.
After coming to his senses, he pinched Gu Shaohe angrily.
Damn it, he didn't tell her that the person they were going to meet today was such a beautiful woman! If he had known earlier, she definitely wouldn't have come so casually... She would have to dress up a little.
But looking at Lin Mingzhu's appearance that even the sun and the moon dared not compete with, she sighed again and decided to give up. The gap between the two of them was too big. Even if she put all the powder on her face, she would not be one bit inferior to the person in front of her.
Gu Shaohe was stepped on, but he didn't dare show any emotion on his face. He walked into the house while telling Lin Mingzhu his identity.
When talking about Song Ruoxue, he was stunned for a moment.
In his heart, he naturally regarded Song Ruoxue as his fiancée, but he was afraid that Song Ruoxue would be unhappy with such an introduction. Moreover, they were not engaged yet, so he was also afraid of ruining Song Ruoxue's reputation.
Who knew that Song Ruoxue would directly hook Gu Shaohe's shoulders, look at Lin Mingzhu and say: "I'm Shaohe's friend." She said friend, but her eyes didn't mean that at all.
Lin Mingzhu is just obsessed with medical skills, not unsympathetic. When she saw Song Ruoxue's expression, she knew that the little girl came to her to assert her sovereignty.
But she was not angry. She just smiled and poured more tea for Song Ruoxue. "This is my first time in the capital. Your Majesty originally asked the Jinyiwei to show me the way, but I didn't expect Miss Song to be so generous and enthusiastic. I would like to thank Miss Song in advance."
Don't hit a smiling person. Lin Mingzhu knows when to act and when to retreat. Although she is pretty, she is not the kind of pretty that would make people jealous. The hostility in Song Ruoxue's heart dissipated a lot at once.
She came here to see if this woman was the marriage partner that the Marquis' Mansion had prepared for his beloved, and secondly, if it was really as Gu Shaohe said, she knew the capital better than Gu Shaohe, and was more suitable to point out a specific place for this girl to open a store.
"Sister Lin, I heard from Shaohe that you want to open a store in the capital. What kind of store do you want to open? Don't be fooled by Shaohe's official attire. Although you follow him to visit various shops in the capital, no one will lie to you. But you should know that there are some rules for opening a store. If you choose the wrong place, you will lose money in the future."
Song Ruoxue was a warm-hearted person. Now that she had met Lin Mingzhu, she felt that she probably wouldn't pose any threat to her, so she tried her best to introduce her to other places. "Men like Shaohe don't understand these things. Why don't you tell me about them? I'll introduce you to a few streets, and then we can ask Shaohe to take us around."
Lin Mingzhu nodded. She didn't want to spend too much time on choosing a site, but choosing a site was particularly important.
If you can have someone who knows the business take you there personally, it will save you a lot of effort.
Lin Mingzhu readily agreed. Since she was someone Shen Qingqiu could trust, she did not hide anything from him. She just told Miss Song in front of her what she and Shen Qingqiu were thinking.
When Song Ruoxue found out about this, she was surprised at first, and then she was delighted and excited. "So this is the first school in the capital that teaches everyone?"
Confucius proposed that everyone should be taught without distinction. The essential idea is that no matter how poor you are, you can acquire knowledge. However, this idea has only existed in books, but now it has been realized.
"That's great. The best doctors in the world are all in the palace, but there are only so many people in the palace, and there are so many people in the world who can't afford medical treatment. If this school is opened, even if we can't train a few world-famous doctors, it can help some people afford medical treatment and avoid dying from illness. That's also a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good deeds."
Lin Mingzhu nodded continuously, "That's the truth."
Song Ruoxue was a kindhearted person. She gritted her teeth and said, "It would be fine if I didn't know about this, Sister Lin. Since I already know about it and want to take you to choose a site, I will also participate." Lin Mingzhu didn't understand what she meant. Song Ruoxue said, "Sister Lin, you are a doctor. How can you understand that the initial investment in such a thing will be wasted? Your family wealth is definitely not enough. I still have some private money——"
Lin Mingzhu was really not familiar with these mundane things, but seeing Song Ruoxue's eager look, she smiled gently, "Miss Song, it's of course good that you have this intention, but I can't make the decision on this matter alone. I'm just a doctor. The reason why I'm preparing these now is because the queen is busy with the wedding and it's not convenient for her to leave the palace to handle it."
Lin Mingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I tell Her Majesty and see what Her Majesty thinks."
Although Song Ruoxue had been entangled with Gu Shaohe for a long time, the time when the two of them were entangled happened to be the time when Shen Qingqiu and Gu Yanwei went out of the palace for fun. Therefore, although Song Ruoxue had met other people in the Marquis' Mansion, she had not met Shen Qingqiu.
She was a little nervous for a moment, worried that the Queen would think she was meddling in other people's business because she intervened in this matter, or that she was using money to flatter her...
But after thinking for a long time, she really wanted to do it, so she nodded at Lin Mingzhu.
Gu Shaohe saw that the two had been talking about this for a long time, so he could only remind them: "Ladies, if you don't go to see each other's rooms today, I'm afraid it will be dark soon."
The two looked up and saw that the sun was setting. An hour or so had passed in their conversation, so they could not waste any more time.
With Song Ruoxue leading the way, the few people quickly left the inn.
Although Song Ruoxue, a local, was there, the capital was not a small place after all. By the time she had looked at some houses that she thought were suitable, it was already dark. A few people went to a teahouse and ordered three cups of herbal tea. Song Ruoxue said, "Actually, I'm not too satisfied with these houses. Some are too small."
Lin Mingzhu also nodded, "This school can't be too small. It can allow students to learn medical skills, and there must be a place to treat patients. At least it should be a courtyard with three entrances and three exits."
Song Ruoxue nodded, "I've thought of another place. In fact, most of the places in the capital are occupied by dignitaries. Even if schools and clinics are opened, they will not come to study. If someone in their family is sick, their first choice will definitely be those famous clinics. If our clinic is not well-known, they will not come."
"So what do you mean?" Lin Mingzhu looked at the young girl in front of her. She didn't expect that she was so young but had such good business skills.
Song Ruoxue said: "I think it would be better to open a clinic in the suburbs. Firstly, there are more poor people living in such places. We cure diseases and save lives for the majority of people. Secondly, people who really want to study medicine would not care about the distance of the journey." This would also prevent many people who were trying to take advantage of the situation.
Lin Mingzhu nodded, "I think your idea is good, Miss Song."
Song Ruoxue was very happy to be recognized by others. "It just so happens that I know a farm that is very spacious. Let's go and take a look."
She was so excited that she wanted to go that night, but was stopped by Gu Shaohe.
Gu Shaohe pointed at the sky and said, "Miss, I know you are kind-hearted and want to help the poor people, but you should also look at how late it is now. Even if you don't rest, Miss Lin also needs to rest."
Song Ruoxue finally came back to her senses from her excitement and looked at Lin Mingzhu. She was indeed exhausted. She immediately said embarrassedly, "Sister Lin, it's my fault. You're so tired, and I still want to ask you to run around."
Lin Mingzhu shook her head, "Miss Song... No, Ruoxue, what are you talking about? I was the one who asked you to help me. I am very grateful for your enthusiasm."
