Chapter 144 - 144 Medicine Boy
144 Medicine Boy
Fortunately, the family had prepared a lot of herbs during this time, so there was no need to go into the mountains to pick herbs at the last minute, or bring Aunt Liu into the city to get herbs. This was not conducive to her quiet bed rest.
Just like that, she saw the doctor, got the medicine, and then let Tang Tang watch the fire and boil the medicine. After everything was settled, Mo Ruyue hurriedly drove the imperial carriage to the city. But even at such a fast speed, she was still too late.
She didn’t expect so many people to come on her first day. She thought they were patients who wanted to see her, but she found out later that they were just here to watch the fun.
Mo Ruyue suddenly felt very displeased. She wasn’t a monkey, and seeing a doctor wasn’t a monkey show, so she was particularly impolite when she spoke just now.
“Hmph, I’ve long heard that Lady Qin has a bad temper. Now it seems that it’s true. Otherwise, why would she dare to sue the county magistrate’s wife in court?”
That man was also considered to have flown into a rage out of humiliation and directly brought up Mo Ruyue’s previous lawsuit.
At this moment, Mo Ruyue’s foot had already crossed the door of the medical hall. When she heard his words, she pulled her foot back and turned to look at him. “The conclusion of that case was very clear. The county magistrate’s wife had framed me. At that time, my reputation was damaged. If I didn’t clear my name, I would’ve gone to jail with a bad reputation. Did you want that? ”
The man was stunned. He then remembered that Mo Ruyue had been wronged at that time, and the old imperial doctor had personally testified for her. Not only did he prove her innocence, but he had also invited Mo Ruyue to join Huichun Hall from that moment on.
He was rendered speechless by her words. He wanted to refute her, but he didn’t know what to say. He could only snort coldly and disappear into the crowd.
After Mo Ruyue drove away the talkative man, her eyes swept through the crowd again. The smile on the faces of those who met her eyes froze.
“If you’re here to see a doctor, please come in. If you’re here to watch the show…”
Mo Ruyue suddenly paused and coldly said, “If you’re really sick in the future, don’t come to me.”
As soon as she said this, the crowd was in an uproar, and everyone began to defend themselves.
“Lady Qin, we don’t have any ill intentions. We just heard that your medical skills are so high and wanted to see it for ourselves.”
“Yes, we don’t have any ill intentions towards you. The higher your medical skills are, the better the news is for us. How could we have any ill intentions towards you?”
“Lady Qin, we’re all innocent. Don’t take your anger out on us just because that person spoke rudely to you!”
Mo Ruyue listened to their explanation and looked at their flustered expressions, but she was extremely impatient in her heart.
“Today is my first day of giving medical services. I can understand that everyone is curious about my medical skills, but I’m here to treat people, not to put on a monkey show for you.”
“A clinic is a place where patients come to seek treatment. It needs a quiet environment. Even if you don’t enter the clinic, you’re sticking your heads in and making a lot of noise outside. Have you ever thought about whether you’re causing trouble for others?”
This time, the people who were still eloquently speaking before finally stopped talking. They looked at each other in dismay, but no one dared to talk back to Mo Ruyue.
“Well, everyone also admires Lady Qin’s medical skills, it’s just that they used the wrong method. It’s not that Lady Qin wants to make things difficult for everyone, but considering the environment of our clinic and the mood of the doctors and patients, it can be said that it’s not wrong.”
Old Doctor Xu had been listening for a while, and he finally stood up to smooth things over.
He couldn’t let lady Qin become enemies with the people in the city on the first day she came.
“Aiya, that’s right, let’s not delay Lady Qin’s consultation.”
“If everyone is not sick, then let’s go. What’s the point of seeing a sick person? Not to mention that Lady Qin is not feeling well, if we are sick and people are watching, it will also be uncomfortable.”
Finally, someone began to reflect on their mistakes, and someone even took the initiative to apologize to Mo Ruyue.
“I’m sorry, Lady Qin. We really didn’t do it on purpose. We just thought that with such a skilled doctor in the city, we wouldn’t have to worry about getting sick in the future.”
“That’s right, we’ll know in the future. Not all kinds of things are fun to watch. Madam Qin, don’t be angry. We’ll apologize to you, okay?”
Mo Ruyue didn’t want to continue dwelling on this matter. It was just a small matter, not that serious. It was better to quickly get the medical hall back to business.
The crowd gathered outside the clinic gradually dispersed, and those who had sat in the teahouses and restaurants in advance had a new topic of conversation. Although they did not see the excitement they wanted to see, the other scene was not bad.
However, after hearing Mo Ruyue’s words just now, they didn’t dare to let her know that they was also here to watch the show. If she remembered their faces and refused to treat them in the future, it would be troublesome.
After Mo Ruyue entered the medical hall, a medicine boy immediately came over and said to her, “Lady Qin, I’m the medicine boy that Doctor Tian arranged to follow you. You can just call me Yun Cen.”
“In the future, if someone comes for a consultation, I’ll be responsible for diagnosing, guiding them, getting the medicine, and helping you arrange the prescriptions and cases. In short, I’ll just be your assistant. Please don’t be polite and order me around.”
The little medicine boy seemed to be a little nervous and excited. When he spoke, he looked calm and steady, but when he spoke later on, he strayed from the topic. However, Mo Ruyue would not pick on this logic and had no intention of rejecting him.
These were all trivial matters, but they were indispensable in the whole consultation process. Mo Ruyue was the most impatient with trouble. Now that there was someone who could help her solve this problem and let her focus on the consultation, why not?
But before that, Mo Ruyue also wanted to test this little medicine boy’s ability.
Although she believed that the medicine boy that Imperial Doctor Tian had prepared for her would definitely be of excellent quality, she still had to personally weigh him and know his capabilities before she could let him follow by her side as an assistant in the future.
Although he was an assistant, in reality, he was no different from an apprentice. After all, he would learn something from her. As for how much he could learn, it would depend on his own luck.
It was just that Mo Ruyue’s trial for the little medicine boy was destined to be postponed before it even started. The line of people waiting for her to see a doctor had already formed on the street. Although there were also people waiting for other doctors, they simply could not compare to Mo Ruyue’s line.
Some of these people only had a simple headache and fever. It only took a few minutes from seeing them to getting the medicine. Before they could even sit down, they had already been asked to leave the clinic with the medicine bag.
Some people were really seriously ill, which could be seen from their complexion and expressions. Mo Ruyue would take a longer time to see them, but the so-called serious illness was a small matter to her. It was just that she took longer to take medicine or came to do acupuncture more times.
