After wandering around the Huichun Hall for a while, a young man who looked like he was in charge finally arrived.
This young man was about 23 or 24 years old. He was wearing a blue bunt. He was tall and thin, but his steps were quite steady and powerful. His facial features were straight, his eyes were bright, and he was quite energetic, making people feel good about him when he looked at him.
The young man’s eyes hurriedly passed over Ling Jingshu and others who were wearing curtain hats and then fell on the face of the only man: “I, Han Yi, am the general steward of the Huichun Hall. I wonder if this young master came here to seek medical treatment?”
Ling Jingshu nodded secretly in her heart.
This steward named Han Yi was polite in his speech, moved in and out in a measured manner, and was neither humble nor overbearing.
All three of them were wearing curtain hats and their faces could not be seen clearly. The maids around her are also pretty and outstanding, each with their own style. This Han Yi didn’t take a second look. He was obviously not that frivolous person.
Ling Xiao had long been accustomed to having Ling Jingshu handle everything. At this time, someone suddenly spoke to him in such a serious tone, which was a bit unfamiliar.
“Yes, I’m here to seek medical treatment.” Ling Xiao calmly replied.
When they came to Huichun Hall, five out of ten people were there to seek medical treatment.
As a steward, Han Yi saw many patients with different identities every day. He was not surprised when he heard this and said with a smile: “I wonder what your surname is? What disease do you have? If it is a common disease, we have doctors with superb medical skills in Huichun Hall. Now you can wait in line for a while and you can get a consultation. If you want to see Dr. Wei for a consultation, you have to wait a few days and come back on June 15th.”
Ling Xiao responded without thinking: “I fell accidentally and became blind. I haven’t been able to see for six years. I came here from Dingzhou to the capital specifically to ask Dr. Wei to cure my eyes.”
The eyes of this handsome and dazzling young man in front of him seemed to be covered with a thin layer of smoke. It was a pity that the pearl was covered in dust.
Han Yi secretly regretted it and reminded him kindly: “In this case, you might as well write down your name first and get the number plate in advance. Huichun Hall has a good reputation. There are too many patients who come to see Imperial Physician Wei every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. I’m afraid you have to wait for a while…”
Ling Xiao glanced at Ling Jingshu subconsciously and asked in a low voice: “Ah Shu, do you want to get the number plate first?”
“I’m still going to get this number plate for the time being. Come on!”
Ling Jingshu’s soft and melodious voice sounded, and she raised her head and looked at Han Yi: “Steward Han, we’ve requested His Highness the Imperial Grandson’s name card and would like to meet Physician Wei in advance. Would it be convenient?”
His Highness the Imperial Grandson’s name post?
Han Yi frowned slightly, then returned to normal, but his voice was a bit colder: “The Imperial Physician Wei once made a rule. No matter who he is, anyone who comes for consultation will be treated equally. Every day, there are a bunch of people with noble names. If you come here to seek medical treatment, Huichun Hall will become another imperial hospital, even if it is not set up.”
Probably because Imperial Physician Wei often said these words, Han Yi intentionally or unintentionally imitated Imperial Physician Wei’s demeanor, suddenly becoming a little more condensed. magnanimity.
Ling Xiao lost his temper: “According to what you say, His Royal Highness’s name card is useless?”
“Ah Xiao, don’t be in a hurry,” Ling Jing said with a faint smile. “Steward Han just mentioned Physician Wei’s usual rules to us, but he didn’t say that His Highness Prince Tai Sun’s card wouldn’t work.”
She paused for a moment and then said, “I know that this way of doing things goes against Physician Wei’s rules. However, there are always exceptions to everything. Physician Wei has a kind heart, and doctors have a compassionate nature. If he can cure a long-ailing patient a day earlier, it will surely bring comfort to his heart. Please, Steward Han, make it convenient for us. We will definitely express our gratitude in the future.”
Han Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
There were quite a few people who came to Huichun Hall with the names of famous people, but most of them were useless. Only for a few people with truly distinguished status, Imperial Physician Wei would reluctantly make an exception.
As for His Highness Taisun[1]Imperial Grandson, he obviously has to give him face.
When he spoke those words just now, it was intentional. Firstly, he wanted to clarify Physician Wei’s rules, and secondly, he used this as an opportunity to enhance Physician Wei’s reputation.
Many people, when faced with this situation, would react with anger, frustration, or even lash out in anger. Occasionally, some would suppress their feelings and remain silent. Their tone would still be far from pleasant. However, it was unexpected that this young lady from an unknown name and appearance displayed such calmness and humility.
“Have you brought the name card of His Highness Taisun?” Han Yi’s tone became much gentler.
Ling Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Bai Yu: “Bai Yu, hurry up and give the name card to Steward Han.”
Fortunately, she brought the name card here today.
Bai Yu responded. Taking a few steps forward, he handed the name card in her hand to Steward Han: “This is the name card. Please take it, Steward Han.”
Han Yi quickly glanced at the pretty and steady Bai Yu, took the name card, and looked at it carefully. After a while, he said politely: “I accept this post on behalf of Imperial Physician Wei. There is no need to take the number plate for now. Just write down the name of the young master. On the fifteenth day, it is best to come and wait at dawn.”
After that, he said to Ling Xiao: “Please come inside with me, sir.”
Ling Xiao couldn’t see, so he was supported by the servant and followed Steward Han to go inside.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Ling Xiao came back.
Han Yi sent everyone out of Huichun Hall politely.
……
“I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly,” Ling Xiao said with joy in her heart and a happy expression on her face. “Ah Shu, Steward Han specifically reminded me just now to come a bit earlier. So, if there are too many patients, they will feel unhappy if they see us coming later for their consultation.”
Ling Jingshu’s brows widened and she said with a smile: “Okay, we will set off at five o’clock in the morning then.”
The Ling family was so far away from Huichun Hall, so it was really necessary to be there before dawn. If you set off at that hour, you can arrive early.
At this time, it was almost noon.
Ling Jingyan waited eagerly for a long time, waited for a long time, and finally waited for this moment. She immediately said energetically: “My stomach has been growling with hunger for a long time. Let’s go to Dingxiang Tower now!”
Ling Jingshu looked meaningfully. She glanced at Ling Jingyan and said, “Okay.”
Ling Jingyan’s heart skipped a beat when she saw it.
Did Ling Jingshu notice something?
No, this was impossible!
Her hidden thoughts were never told to anyone. The intention of going to Dingxiang Tower will never be noticed. When Ling Jingshu looked at her like that just now, she must be laughing at her for being greedy!
After getting on the carriage, Ling Jingyan immediately put her worries behind her mind and looked forward to the trip to Dingxiang Tower.
Dingxiang Tower was at the northernmost edge of Nanshi. You can get there soon after entering Nanshi. But there were too many pedestrians on the street, so the carriage could only slow down.
Everyone was sitting in the carriage, listening to the noisy sounds outside, and everyone was secretly excited. Even Jiang Shi, who had been the most disapproving of coming to Dingxiang Tower before, couldn’t help but look outside.
She had long heard of the famous name of Dingxiang Tower, and today she could finally experience it for herself.
...(To be continued.)
