Ten days later, on a sunny morning at the intersection of Xuanwumen Street and Caishiheng Street, the crackling of firecrackers and gongs and drums attracted many people on the street to stop and watch.
A shop with a tall lintel was officially opened. In the past few days, many people were busy coming in and out. The craftsmen were invited to renovate the originally dilapidated shop and move in many furniture, counters and other items. This has already caused a stir.
attracted a lot of people's attention.
But until it opened, no one knew what this luxuriously decorated shop did for a living. What people only knew was that the three-bedroom main house plus the shop floor in the back courtyard was sold for a high price of eight thousand taels of silver.
Acquired. It can be seen that this store is really generous.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, the onlookers were surprised to see a group of well-dressed male and female servants walking out of the shop surrounded by two fair-looking women.
A maidservant called out in a sweet voice: "The auspicious time has come, please two shopkeepers to unveil the plaque."
The two beautiful women smiled and nodded. One stood by the door, reaching out to grab the hanging red silk ribbon and pulling it gently at the same time. The red cloth covering the plaque fell like a cloud, revealing a large black and gold lettering.
Plaque.
"Ji...shi...tang!" The people watching looked up at the plaque and read the words on it.
"This should be...a medical clinic."
"It should be... oh, what a loud tone. Jishitang."
"Xuan Hu Ji Shi. There's nothing wrong with it. The name is really impressive, but I don't know which famous doctor in Beijing opened it."
The people were talking one after another, pointing and asking each other.
The sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums stopped, and a woman wearing a purple dress and a shining hairpin stood on the steps in front of the door. Her beautiful eyes scanned the people in front of the door. The people were taken by her demeanor and beauty unconsciously.
He stopped talking.
"Fellow fellow villagers, please be polite." The woman opened her teeth lightly and said.
"Be polite, be polite." The people hurriedly returned the courtesy.
Two idle men on the street drooled as they looked at this beautiful woman, and murmured in the crowd: "Whose girl is this? She is so beautiful. If I can have fun with this for a night, I will live ten years shorter."
"
"I'd rather live ten years shorter? I'd rather live twenty years shorter."
Before the two idle men finished speaking, someone grabbed their necks and dragged them out of the crowd like chickens. While the beautiful woman continued to speak, the two idle men were interrupted at the corner of the street.
His legs were smashed, and all the teeth in his mouth were smashed, and he collapsed on the ground and howled like a mangy dog.
"Dear fellow villagers, my business opened at this street corner today. I apologize for disturbing all the fellow villagers. As you all have seen, our store is a medical center. We opened this medical center to treat the illnesses of the fellow villagers.
Purpose. From now on, if any fellow villagers are sick or injured, please come to our Jishi Hall for treatment. This is
The doctor in charge of the hall is Tan, a famous doctor in the capital. Mrs. Tan has superb medical skills. She was once the royal physician in the palace, and she was well-known for curing people's illnesses in Baizhifang. Although Mrs. Tan has passed away, her granddaughter Miss Tan is still there.
Miss Qing inherited his medical skills and obtained his true inheritance. From now on, Miss Tan will be here to diagnose and treat the people."
The woman on the steps spoke softly. When the people listened, some people suddenly said: "It turns out that Tan's family opened the clinic. Mrs. Tan is very skilled in medicine. She has been treating people in Baizhifang for decades.
Everyone admires him."
"Oh, I have heard about it. It seems that the only female medical officer in the Ming Dynasty is Mrs. Tan. Unfortunately, she has passed away. I wonder how good her granddaughter's medical skills are."
"You come from a famous family, and if you get the old lady's true teachings, your medical skills should be pretty good."
While everyone was talking about it, the woman in purple smiled softly at the woman in green who was standing aside: "Ruqing, please say a few words."
Tan Ruqing smiled and nodded, stepped forward and smiled at everyone: "Fellow folks, Ruqing is so polite. I grew up with my grandmother since I was a child. I dare not say that I inherited her mantle, but I do know a little bit about the ways of the orchid.
"Xuanhu is opening the museum today. I hope that I can inherit my grandmother's legacy, relieve the sufferings of the villagers and benefit the country. I hope you will take good care of me."
When the people saw and talked about him, he was like a young and elegant person, and he was beautiful and friendly, so they naturally liked him.
"Dear fellow villagers, I will be sitting here for consultation from now on. In line with the idea of benefiting the people and doing good deeds, starting from today, I will provide free medical treatment to all villagers within three days of opening without charging any money. After that, we will only charge for the medicine and no consultation.
Zi. If you have any ailments, fellow villagers, you can come here for treatment."
"Okay. That's great. Free medical treatment? Ah San, go home quickly and help the old lady over. You won't have to pay for medical treatment. Call her as soon as possible."
"Oh, there is such a good thing. It is indeed Jishitang who has shown great kindness and benefited the people like us."
The people became lively and cheered. Some people hurried home to call the patients at home and take advantage of the free three days to come to see a doctor.
Tan Ruqing looked at the lively scene in front of her and felt very happy. She turned to the woman in purple and said, "Princess, please say a few words. That's all I have to say."
The woman in purple was Xu Wanyi. She nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, go in and get ready. I guess there will be a lot of people coming to see the doctor soon, and some of you will be busy. Tell the other doctors to get ready too."
Tan Ruqing nodded in agreement and went into the shop to order preparations.
Xu Wanyi turned to the noisy crowd at the door and said: "Fellow folks, you can come in to see a doctor soon. But before that, I have a few things to tell you folks. Jishi Hall is my property, and I am Duke Dingguo.
Princess Xu Wanyi, this medical clinic is my private property and has nothing to do with the Changhou Mansion built by my husband's family. If you have any advice in the future, just ask me, Xu Wanyi.
The rest of the people cannot represent me. Also, Jishi Hall is not only a medical clinic, but also a medicine hall. From now on, fellow villagers can come here to get medicines and dispense them at a discount. Anyone who buys medicine in our hall will receive free diagnosis. Finally, our hall has recently
A new medicine has been developed, called First Aid Powder, which has miraculous effects on wound infections, internal and external bleeding, trauma and bruises. It is a medicine that can be kept at home. Don’t miss this opportunity.”
At this moment, all the people knew the identity of the woman in purple, and they were all shocked. It turned out that this woman was actually the princess of Dingguo Palace and the wife of Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang. She actually opened this business. No wonder it was so grand.
As for other first-aid powders and the like, everyone didn't care.
Xu Wanyi gave an order, and the clerks removed the door panels, revealing the true appearance of the store. The two rooms on the east are indeed pharmacies. The counters are brand new, and the medicine cabinets are neat. The clerks in blue robes are waiting for customers. The one on the west is a diagnosis and treatment room.
Place. Three desks with the word "Pin"
The figure is in the middle, with Miss Tan sitting in the middle, and a doctor on both sides sitting together. These are doctors hired with high salaries. There must be permanent doctors in the medicine hall, so Tan Ruqing alone cannot be there every day.
Therefore, manpower must be hired.
Because it was a free three-day medical treatment for the common people, there were many people who wanted to see a doctor after the opening. Soon they were crowded at the entrance of the store. But soon, several big-bodied store clerks began to maintain order and let people line up to enter the store for medical treatment. There were
The few who refused to abide by the order were quickly taken away and deprived of their qualifications for free medical treatment. Only then did people realize that those people were not just store clerks, but the store's nursing staff.
At the end of the day, the place was crowded and very lively.
