The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Chapter 252: Re-planning of the Medicine Hall

Su Tang nodded with satisfaction. It turned out that she had a good eye for people.

It was by chance that I was able to find Doctor Wen. I saw Doctor Wen, who was dressed shabbily, providing free medical consultations on the street.

Su Tang felt at that time that Doctor Wen was a useful person. The people she would use must have good character.

Su Tang briefly shared her initial thoughts with Doctor Wen. Doctor Wen was surprised that the master, so young, had so many novel ideas.

But what the owner said makes sense. The owner set up this medical school because he didn't want the medical skill to become too narrow. There are too many people in the world suffering from diseases, although most doctors originally had a heart to save the world.

But as they grow older and gain more experience, there are not many people who can maintain this heart and not be dragged into hardship by saving the world.

Since the master had the ability and the desire to save the people from suffering, Wen Shili did his best to help the master achieve his wish.

Su Tang felt more at ease when she saw the determination flashing in Doctor Wen's eyes.

She stood up and said to Doctor Wen, "I have bothered you for a long time today. I will discuss more details with you tomorrow.

Also, since this shop is going to be converted into a school, I will buy all the neighboring shops and redecorate them. Then I will find children to teach. I hope Mr. Wen will be generous with his advice."

"Does the master really want to use this prosperous shop, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, as a school?"

"Well, since we can't run a pharmacy anyway, why not just let others take a look? We can change our livelihood at any time."

"Haha, okay. Then I will wait for the master's instructions."

"Well, Mr. Wen can pack up for a few days. When the shop is renovated, you can move to the Plum Courtyard on East Street and stay there for a few days."

"Meiyuan!" Doctor Wen asked in surprise.

"Yes, Meiyuan, by the way, did I forget to tell Doctor Wen that I am actually the eldest princess of Dayong?" Su Tang smiled playfully.

After hearing this, Doctor Wen immediately stood up and knelt down towards Su Tang, "I didn't recognize you, the princess, and I'm sorry for offending you. Please punish me, princess."

"Mr. Wen, I won't talk about this here. You will know it later."

Su Tang gave Chunmei a look, and Chunmei immediately stepped forward and helped Doctor Wen up. "My young lady is a kind person and never talked about these things with us. In the future, Mr. Wen should not have too many concerns in private."

"Yes." Doctor Wen stood up happily and bowed to Su Tang again.

It was already noon when we came out of the pharmacy. "Let's go to the restaurant for dinner today."

"Well, the food at Baixianglou in Kyoto is the most delicious, but it's too expensive. We usually don't dare to spend money there. Today, a lady will take us there to eat, and I must try the best signature dishes there." Xia Mei smiled happily.

"Just now I said that the young lady doesn't care about these etiquettes, and you started to get cocky. Do you think I can let you order the dishes when I go to a restaurant with you?" Chunmei tapped Xiamei's forehead.

"Oh, I just want to try more delicious dishes outside. I can cook for the young lady later, so the money can be saved and not earned by others." Xia Mei snorted and replied with a smile.

Su Tang listened to the bickering between the two and shook her head with a smile.

Among Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, maybe Chunmei and Xiamei spend more time with her, so these two are more cheerful in front of her.

Soon Su Tang and her friends arrived at Baixianglou. Su Tang asked for a private room and ordered a table full of signature dishes.

When the waiter retreated, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face and was even happier than Xia Mei.

"Miss, please wait a moment. I will ask the kitchen to serve all the dishes for your room first." The waiter said with a smile and walked out, gently closing the wooden door of the private room for Su Tang.

"See, I told you, if we order some signature dishes, the waiter's attitude will be different from that towards others." Xia Mei took out a piece of brocade she brought with her and spread it on the table, then took out a set of exquisite tableware from a small box beside her and placed it in front of Su Tang.

"I've already told you, there's no need to be so troublesome outside. Otherwise, I don't like eating out." Su Tang shook her head as she looked at the silver bowls and chopsticks placed by Xia Mei.

"Miss, you'd better be careful when eating out. It's not a big deal." Xia Mei replied with a smile.

Sure enough, the dishes on Su Tang’s table were served very quickly and all were served in a short while.

The waiter got some small change from Chunmei and said to Su Tang happily, "I'll be waiting outside on the corridor. If you need anything, just ask the two sisters to call me."

"Okay." Su Tang replied with a smile.

After the waiter left, Su Tang asked Chunmei and the others to sit down together.

Chunmei and Xiamei tested the poison first, and after confirming that there was no problem, they sat down one by one.

"Oh, I ate so much for lunch today." Xia Mei held her stomach and said rudely.

"Who told you to eat the signature dishes? The lady ordered a table full of dishes, and you haven't finished eating yet." Chunmei was holding two large food boxes in her hands, which were filled with unfinished meals.

Although they all came from the Second Prince's Mansion, they were originally martial maids trained by the Second Prince. They grew up in hardship and would naturally not waste food.

Chunmei sat outside the carriage holding the food box to prevent the smell of the food inside from spreading into the carriage.

"Let's go to where the poor children live." Su Tang said to Chunmei who was sitting outside the car.

"Miss, what are you going there for?" Xia Mei was also sitting outside the car. After hearing this, she lifted the curtain and asked.

"Didn't the young lady just say that we should find some smart children? Don't ask any more questions."

"Oh."

The carriage soon drove to a remote and quiet place and stopped. "Miss, if we go further, we will reach the place where the common people in the capital live. The alleys over there are narrow and our carriage cannot enter."

"Well, just park the car here." Su Tang didn't want to be too conspicuous, as it would be inconvenient for her to choose people.

When she came out of the carriage, Su Tang changed into ordinary clothes again.

Fortunately, Chunmei and her friends usually have to work and their clothes are not very ostentatious, so they don’t have to change clothes.

The further you go inside, the more makeshift sheds you can see in the narrow alleys.

Su Tang took a quick look and didn't expect that people were living in those sheds.

Chunmei and Xiamei stood in front and behind Su Tang, protecting her to prevent anyone from suddenly rushing out and bumping into Su Tang.

Fortunately, the surroundings were very quiet. I believe these civilians also knew that this was Kyoto and they would not easily cause trouble here.

"There is a Tzu Chi home over there that has adopted a lot of orphans." Chunmei and Su Tang said in a low voice.

"Well, let's go and take a look." It would be even better if we could find a group of children directly.

After passing through several alleys, Chunmei brought Su Tang to a small courtyard.

The courtyard wall had collapsed in some places, leaving a lot of scattered bricks.

Through the collapsed wall, you can see a lot of children gathered in the yard.

There was a torn wooden board hanging on the gate of the courtyard, with the words "Tzu Chi Hospital" written on it.

There was a burly man with a beard at the door. When he saw Su Tang and the other two, he picked up a wooden stick at hand and blocked the door.

"I'm afraid you ladies have come to the wrong place. This is Tzu Chi Home. We don't accept people of your age." The sturdy man glanced at Su Tang and the others. Fortunately, there was no lust in his eyes, otherwise Chunmei and the others would probably not have been able to resist digging out his eyes.

"We know this is the Tzu Chi Home. They have adopted many children here. We want to find some smart children to serve as servants."

"Oh, so you're an important customer. Please come in. What we have the most here is obedient and smart children." The sturdy man put away the wooden stick in his hand and stood by the door frame. He stood up, patted the dust off his body, and responded with a smile.

"Please come in and have a look. We have children ranging from thirteen years old to newborn babies. We have them all here." The sturdy man opened the shabby gate and introduced as he walked into the yard.

The Tzu Chi Institute in Beijing is different from ordinary dental clinics. The children here are all abandoned at the door by their families since they were young and raised by the people in the Tzu Chi Institute. Therefore, the government will allocate some subsidy money to them from time to time.

But very little of this money was actually used for the children. The Tzu Chi only had to ensure that the children did not starve to death. Moreover, these children raised by the Tzu Chi had to go out and beg for food to maintain their daily food rations.

As the gate opened, the children in the yard looked towards the gate.

These children were obviously afraid of the strong man. When they saw him coming in, they all hid backwards.

But the yard is not big, there is nowhere to hide, and many younger children hide behind older children.

"Come out and stand in the yard." The strong man shouted in the yard.

Immediately, seven or eight young children came out from a dilapidated house nearby.

"Is everything here?" Chunmei asked.

"Some of them went out to play. You didn't like them. I'll ask them to call them back."

"Well, let's go call everyone back first." Chunmei glanced at Su Tang, saw Su Tang nod, and said to the strong man.

"Okay, then you three wait a moment." The sturdy man replied with a smile, and then he called a few older boys and asked them to go out and look for someone.

After a while, many children came back one after another.

In a short while, half of the space in the yard was filled with children.

Su Tang has been observing these children since entering the yard.

Many children had twinkling eyes, and their eyes would occasionally look at the purse hanging around her waist.

It seems that these people have been trained to be thieves and have become accustomed to looking at where people put their money.

Su Tang glanced at all the children one by one with an expressionless face.

The sturdy man waited for a while, and finally walked towards Su Tang impatiently.

Chunmei raised her hand to stop him, and the strong man immediately stopped and asked, "Who do you like, sir?"

"This one, this one, and these ones..." Su Tang pointed at the children one by one.

"You guys stand up." The strong man shouted to the children.

The children who had been pointed out by Su Tang stood up one after another.

"Your vision is indeed good, these guys are all smart. Look how sharp their eyes are." The sturdy man praised. The guys Su Tang pointed out were all veterans trained by him.

"What are the prices?" Su Tang asked.

"The men are five taels each, and the women are three taels each." The strong man said with a smile.

"No matter the age?" Chunmei asked again.

"Well, no, no."

"Miss, it's too expensive. It's not that expensive to buy a well-trained one from a dental clinic." Chunmei's voice was loud enough for the strong man to hear clearly.

"How can they be the same? Those who have been trained are so boring. Besides, the children here are all virgins. You won't lose anything if you buy them." The strong man laughed evilly.

"I don't want the ones that were just named, but I want the remaining fifty taels." Su Tang stated the lowest price.

"This, this is impossible, this is too cheap, it cost me a lot of money to raise these children, and you give me fifty taels to buy so many children? No, no." The strong man shook his head.

"Forget it, you keep it." Su Tang shook her head and said to the sturdy man, then turned around and was about to walk out of the yard.

"Hey, my dear, please don't go yet. The price cannot be fixed at one time. Doesn't it have to be negotiated for anything you buy? You see, it's really not easy for me to raise these children by myself. Their daily food alone costs me a lot of money... Hey, my dear, my dear..." The strong man was watching from behind and saw that Su Tang was about to step out.

Although he was very surprised why Su Tang didn't choose those children he had already trained, he was actually somewhat happy that Su Tang didn't want them.

After all, when these children are taught to steal, many of them are resistant and will not learn no matter how much you beat them.

The strong man was not satisfied with the small amount of money Su Tang gave him, so he said anxiously, "Sir, if you add another ten taels, I will give you all sixty taels."

Su Tang paused, Chunmei immediately turned around and handed the sixty-tael silver ingot to the strong man.

"If you don't follow me, you will all be my master's people from now on."

Su Tang doesn't have to worry about getting identity certificates for these children, Qi Lingheng can help him with it.

Seeing Chunmei paid the money, Su Tang turned around and left, waiting for the children outside the yard.

"Sir, can you bring my brother with you?" Outside the yard, a little girl came out and knelt in front of Su Tang.

Su Tang frowned and looked at the girl. Those children she didn't choose just now were all dishonest and obedient. They had obviously developed the habit of stealing, and it would be difficult to correct them.

Su Tang didn't want to waste any more time on this matter. Besides, she had too many secrets. If someone with ulterior motives came along, there was no telling what kind of trouble might arise in the future.

However, Su Tang still asked the girl, "Which one was left in the yard?"

"Not in the yard." The girl looked up at Su Tang and met Su Tang's eyes.

Su Tang raised her eyebrows. The burly man just now actually hid the child and didn’t bring him out?

"My brother was beaten and hasn't gotten up for several days. If I leave, my brother will die." When the girl talked about her brother, tears fell like beads from a broken string.

At this time, there were also children bought by Su Tang, who knelt beside the girl and said, "My dear, please buy Brother Song as well. Brother Song treats us very well on weekdays, but he was beaten and unable to get up because he was disobedient a few days ago."

"Chunmei, go and take a look. If there is a child, bring him out with you."
