Chapter 288 Borrowing People
Shen Ruolan looked at the innkeeper and said apologetically, "Boss, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."
The innkeeper smiled and said to Shen Ruolan, "Miss Shen, you are too polite. It is a blessing for our inn that you can stay in our inn."
After saying this, he stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation to Shen Ruolan, saying, "Miss Shen, please."
Shen Ruolan nodded to the shopkeeper and said to Mu Jin, "Mu Jin, keep an eye on the children."
"Yes, ma'am," Hibiscus replied.
Shen Ruolan brought Ziyuan downstairs to the inn and saw that the lobby was already full of people. She paused for a moment and asked everyone present, "Dear fellow villagers, are you all here to see Ruolan for medical treatment?"
In the lobby, everyone saw Shen Ruolan coming downstairs with the innkeeper. Someone shouted to her, "Miss Shen, yes, is it convenient for you to help us with the treatment now?"
Shen Ruolan listened to everyone's questions and looked at everyone with an embarrassed expression, "Dear folks, it's not that Ruolan doesn't want to treat you, but you all came a little suddenly. I didn't make any preparations, and I don't have time to treat you for the time being."
When the people present heard that she was not free, they did not feel embarrassed. After all, they came very suddenly. After a moment of silence, everyone asked her, "Then Miss Shen, when will you be free?"
Shen Ruolan planned what to do today in her mind, and then she said to everyone, "Everyone come over at 5 pm."
After she finished speaking, considering the large number of people, she continued to add: "I will be very busy in the next two days, and I will not have many hours to see you. When you come here later, it is best not to have more than 30 people. I will be in Cangling City in the next ten days, so don't worry."
"Okay, we'll make note of that." After everyone finished speaking, they all turned around and left.
A few ragged men looked at Shen Ruolan and hesitated for a moment, but they still mustered up the courage to ask her, "Doctor Shen, can you tell us how much you charge for a visit?"
Many patients who had already turned around and left stopped and looked back at Shen Ruolan with curiosity after hearing the question just now. They also wanted to know how much she charged for a consultation.
Shen Ruolan listened to the patient's question. She looked at the patient and after thinking for a while, she said to him, "My pulse diagnosis and prescription will cost fifteen cents. Of course, if you don't have copper coins, you can use three catties of grain to pay."
Ordinary grain cost four cents per pound, and three pounds of grain cost twelve cents, which was three cents less than copper coins. Generally, as long as the family was not starving, they could afford medical treatment.
After hearing that Shen Ruolan's fee was not expensive, everyone thanked her happily, "Thank you, Doctor Shen. We will be here soon."
Some people, after hearing that Shen Ruolan's treatment was so cheap, took the opportunity to ask, "Doctor Shen, can you get some medicine?"
It is one thing to have cheap medical treatment, but if the medicine is expensive, they still cannot afford the treatment.
Shen Ruolan listened to everyone's questions. She hesitated for a moment, looked at them and said truthfully: "I don't have any medicine here, so you can only go to the pharmacy to get it for now."
When everyone heard that she couldn't prescribe medicine, many of them instantly walked away like deflated balls with dejected looks on their faces.
Because everyone knows that getting medicine from the pharmacies in the city is extremely expensive.
Shen Ruolan looked at the people who left dejectedly, and her brows suddenly moved. Perhaps, she should prepare her own medicine storehouse.
However, she lacks an assistant to Doctor Dong, otherwise it would be unrealistic for her to take care of everything because she has too many things to do.
Shion's own wife stared at the departing patient and asked in confusion, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Shen Ruolan withdrew her thoughts, looked at Ziyuan and asked, "Besides Jingyun, does your master have any little medicine boy who studies medicine?"
If she needs such a person, there are countless of them in Yaowang Valley, and there is no need for her to have anything to do with Jiang Dichen.
But she didn't want to owe too many favors to the people in Yaowang Valley. After all, apart from her grandfather and two uncles, there were few people there who were sincere to her.
So instead of owing favors to Yaowang Valley, she might as well settle the debt with Jiang Dichen and feel more comfortable.
Ziyuan didn't know why her wife asked this, but she still answered truthfully: "To answer my wife, the master has quite a few little medicine boys under his command."
Six out of ten military doctors in her master's barracks were trained by himself, and he has countless medicine boys, but her master keeps a low profile and not many people know about it.
Shen Ruolan heard that Jiang Dichen had many little medicine boys. She was silent for a moment and asked Ziyuan, "Ziyuan, if I ask your master to borrow two little medicine boys, do you think he will give them to me?"
If it were any other time, Jiang Dichen would definitely give it to her if she borrowed two people. However, at this moment, he was in urgent need of people, and she was not sure if he would not give it to her.
Ziyuan listened to Shen Ruolan's question and smiled for the first time. She said to Shen Ruolan, "Madam, let alone asking for two little medicine boys, even if you want two doctors, the master will give them to you without hesitation."
In the past, they might have thought that their master was so nice to his mistress simply because she gave birth to two children for him.
But after several incidents, they no longer thought so. Their master cared about his wife and liked her.
Therefore, let alone the fact that the Madam just wants two little medicine boys, even if she wants the stars in the sky, their masters will probably find a way to help her pick them down.
Ziyuan's words made Shen Ruolan feel a little uncomfortable. She said to Ziyuan, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Ask Mu Jin to write a letter to him for me and borrow two medicine boys to help him temporarily. When I find the person, I will return him to him."
"Yes, ma'am." Ziyuan bowed to Shen Ruolan, then turned and went upstairs to meet Xiao Mujin.
After Shen Ruolan sent all the patients away, she returned to her room, took her two children, and went to the morning market.
Ziyuan followed her and asked, "Madam, are we here to buy vegetables?"
Shen Ruolan looked at the various ingredients on sale in the market and said to Ziyuan, "Well, take a look. If you see something you like, take some with you."
After listening to what her wife said, Ziyuan also looked at the various ingredients on sale, but when she saw that most of them were everyday vegetables, she looked away.
To be honest, all these vegetables are grown by their wives, so she really has no shortage of them.
Just as Ziyuan looked away with an indifferent look on her face, she suddenly saw something she had eaten during her previous mission. She quickly flew over, brought the things in the woman's basket to Shen Ruolan, and said to her with a smile: "Madam, I have eaten this thing before. It is pink and delicious. Do you want to buy some to try?"
As Shion finished speaking, an old lady came over tremblingly and shouted, "Hey, little girl, why are you stealing my things?"
