Ling Jingyan was completely unaware that she had been exposed, and secretly rejoiced in her heart.
Ling Jingshu didn’t expose Ling Jingyan either.
It was a rare time to go out, and Ling Jingyan was looking forward to going to Dingxiang Tower, so it was better not to dampen her interest.
The chance of meeting another person in the crowd was really low. Even if she goes to Dingxiang Tower, she may not be able to meet the person she wants to see.
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped.
The respectful voice of the coachman rang out, “Informing the young lady, Huichun Hall is just ahead. Although there is an open space in front of Huichun Hall, carriages are not allowed to stop there. I can only park the carriage on this side.”
Jiang Shi hummed, then smiled and said to Ling Jingshu’s sister and brother: “Huichun Hall has the most rules. The open space outside the door is reserved for patients to queue up with their number plates, and no carriages are allowed to stop in front of the door. We want to see Huichun Hall, we have to walk a short distance.”
This Imperial Physician Wei really had a lot of rules.
However, who could blame him when his medical skills were superb, and his status was exceptional?
If you want to ask him for diagnosis and treatment, you must follow his rules.
Ling Jingshu responded with a smile. The three of them each put on their curtain hats, and then got off the carriage one by one.
…
Jiashanfang was close to Nanshi, and most of the people living here were businessmen and ordinary people.
The Huichun Hall was originally not big, with only one shop and an ordinary house connected behind it. Later, the reputation of Huichun Hall became more and more famous, and more and more people came to seek medical advice. Many people heard about the reputation of Imperial Physician Wei and came to Luoyang from thousands of miles away. Huichun Hall cannot accommodate so many patients.
Three years ago, the Emperor made a special decree, and the Taiyuan Hospital came forward to buy several shops and courtyards near Huichun Hall. The Ministry of Household Affairs provided money and the Ministry of Works provided craftsmen to renovate the Huichun Hall.
People who arrive at Huichun Hall for the first time will inevitably be shocked by the grandeur of Huichun Hall.
From far away, you can see the thick plaque. The three characters of Huichuntang were simple and vigorous.
The five shops in front were opened up and connected into a huge one, with more than a dozen rows of medicine cabinets neatly placed. All kinds of precious medicinal materials were available.
There were about a dozen guys responsible for collecting medicine. All of them were neatly dressed and smiling.
Several men who looked like doctors, were each sitting behind a large wooden table. In front of every wooden table, many patients were waiting in line for treatment. After the doctor wrote the prescription, the clerk led the patient to go get the medicine.
In the spacious Huichun Hall, people came and went, creating a constant buzz of activity. Amidst it all, there were undoubtedly the sighs and moans of patients in pain, yet each of them made an effort to suppress these sounds, and it remained far from being a noisy place.
The patients who came to Huichun Hall were a diverse group, including men and women, old and young. There were impoverished commoners in tattered clothes, wealthy merchants in silk garments, and even well-dressed government officials’ families. People from different social strata mingled together in this way, and it didn’t seem out of place at all.
When Ling Jingshu and her group walked into Huichun Hall, they didn’t attract much attention.
The doctors and assistants were all busy, and no one came forward to welcome them.
Ling Jingshu, Jiang Shi, and others wandered around the Huichun Hall.
“Tángsǎo, doesn’t Imperial Doctor Wei only come to Huichun Hall two days a month?”
Ling Jingshu originally thought she would see a quiet Huichun Hall, but she never expected to see so many patients. She couldn’t help but be surprised and whispered to ask Jiang Shi: “It’s not even fifteen yet. How come there are so many patients?
Jiang Shi smiled and explained patiently: “Doctor Wei indeed only comes to Huichun Hall on the fifteenth of each month, but he also consults patients on regular days. They have several resident doctors here, and despite their relatively modest reputations, they are highly skilled. The consultation fee is very affordable, and the cost of medicines is much lower than that of outside pharmacies.”
“There is also a free clinic every day. Those poor people whose families are extremely poor and cannot even afford medicine can come to Huichun Hall for treatment and medicine at no cost. Therefore, when such people get sick, they prefer to come far and come to Huichun Hall.”
“Imperial Physician Wei has a reputation as a miracle doctor, not only because of his superb medical skills but also because of his kind heart. He always considers the poor people! He made the rule that you can only queue up with a number and not jump in line, just to prevent someone from bullying others.”
Speaking of this famous Imperial Physician Wei in the capital, Jiang Shi’s tone was full of admiration.
Ling Jingyan also smiled and interjected: “By the way, Ah Shu, you don’t know yet! This time there are many empty rooms behind Huichun Hall. Patients who are too sick to move can stay for free!”
…Was there really such a kind-hearted and selfless person in the world?
Ling Jingshu instinctively commented, “He isn’t trying to gain fame, is he? Doing this just to seek reputation, I suppose…”
“Shh! How can you say this nonsense?”
Jiang Shi immediately interrupted Ling Jingshu in a low voice: “You are not in the capital, so you don’t know how famous this Imperial Doctor Wei is. In the hearts of the people, this Imperial Physician Wei is a living Bodhisattva. If you dare to criticize Imperial Physician Wei in front of others, I’m afraid you will cause trouble.“
“This type of thing has happened before.” Ling Jingyan took over the conversation and whispered: “The son of a civil servant official was seriously ill and came to Huichun Hall for treatment. He was very dissatisfied because he did not receive special treatment. After the illness was cured, the young man insulted Imperial Physician Wei while drinking tea in the teahouse. As a result, the teahouse patrons heard this, and they were all filled with indignation and passion, they just surrounded the young master and refused to let him go. And beat him up.”
“That young man was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Not to mention how miserable it was. His servant boy went to report to the official, but even the boy was beaten. The police patrolman obviously came, but after hearing what happened, he ignored him and left.”
“Later, when the young man came home and complained to his father, he was slapped twice and scolded. The official took his son and brought generous gifts to the imperial doctor Wei to apologize. Imperial Physician Wei smiled and didn’t mind. This incident spread like wildfire and everyone knew about it.”
“After this, no one dared to criticize or insult Imperial Doctor Wei in public.”
Ling Jingshu’s eyes flashed slightly and she obeyed, but the doubts in her heart deepened.
Although she hadn’t met the Imperial Physician Wei yet, she had heard a lot about him from everyone. Without exception, all the words spoken were filled with the highest praise.
His medical skills were like miraculous hands that brought rejuvenation, his heart was filled with compassion for all, his kindness extended to saving lives and helping the injured, and he carried an unyielding spirit that didn’t fear the powerful.
And the rumored handsome appearance.
Was there really such a perfect man in this world?
The world bustles with activity, all driven by the pursuit of gain. The world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit.
This Imperial Physician Wei, whose actions seemed to have left no trace, created the Huichun Hall in just a few years. However, he not only gained the favor of the Emperor but also gained a high prestige and reputation among the people.
Either they are once-in-a-century saints, or they are scheming in the shadows for more.
