The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Three days passed quickly. Xie Ningzhi bought the whip early in the morning as instructed and waited outside Huichun Hall with a group of servants.

After Xie Shuting dressed up a bit, she led Lian Xi out of the back court in a carriage. Usually, it would only take half a cup of tea, but now it took half a quarter of an hour.

At this time, the Huichun Hall was already surrounded by passers-by, all of whom stretched their necks and waited, not for anything else but for the wedding money.

After all, when opening a shop, people would ask for good luck, and wait for the firecrackers to go off, and then there would be money scattered all over the place. Although most of the money was only one penny, it could at least be exchanged for two steamed buns.

Some familiar shopkeepers on both sides came forward with a smile on their faces when they saw Dong Pingchang, and greeted him, "Shopkeeper Dong! Why are you opening a pharmacy instead of running your bookstore properly? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"Compensation? If our Manager Dong doesn't compromise, I'm afraid this ancestral home will soon be lost." One person echoed.

"Haha! I think so too."

A middle-aged man stroked his belly while talking, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "But as far as I know, none of Shopkeeper Dong's ancestors studied medicine. Aren't you afraid of killing people by opening a medicine shop?"

The originally lively scene suddenly became silent. Everyone looked at the middle-aged man with their own thoughts, knowing that he was probably here to cause trouble.

Xie Ningzhi stepped forward with a gloomy expression, looked at the middle-aged man with a fake smile and said, "My friend! Today is the opening day of my shop. Aren't you saying too much?"

The middle-aged man did not show any worry when he heard this. He glanced at everyone present and angrily said, "My lord! A doctor cannot cure a disease without a good prescription. Dong Pingchang is just..."

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, he heard soft whispers coming from the crowd, which sounded like the cry of a yellow spirit and echoed in everyone's ears.

"Mr. Dong is not only one of the owners of this medicine shop, but also the dean of the county school. Excuse me, sir, in what capacity are you mocking others?"

The middle-aged man turned around with a frown when he heard this. He saw a woman wearing a veil slowly walking down from the carriage.

On the lantern outside the carriage, the word "Thank you" was very dazzling. Everyone present was shocked and knew the identity of the person who came.

"Little sister! You are here. If you hadn't come, you would have missed the time." Xie Ningzhi said with a hint of complaint.

Dong Pingchang also stepped forward quickly, stroked his hand and said, "Thank you, Miss!"

"Mr. Dong, you don't have to be so polite."

As Xie Shuting spoke, she bowed as a return gesture, then looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I know this gentleman's background, and I also know what you are worried about."

The middle-aged man's face flushed when he heard this, and he buried his head in shame, saying in a mosquito-like voice: "Whatever the lady says is what it is, I dare not make any comments."

"You don't have to be so nervous."

Xie Shuting said soothingly, then changed the subject and said, "The whole purpose of practicing medicine is to save lives and cure diseases. This Huichuntang only treats typhoid fever. As for other internal medicine, gynecology, and surgery, I think your master will not embarrass you after knowing this. You can go now."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man stroked Xie Shuting's hand as if he had been pardoned, then quickly fled from the crowd amid everyone's surprised looks.

Everyone present was smart and when they heard what Xie Shuting said, they knew without much thought that it was just a colleague trying to offend her.

Xie Shuting slowly walked up the steps, smiled and bowed to everyone, saying, "My father has been the county magistrate since Laigu County. He learned that there are many cases of typhoid fever in this area after winter, so he invited a doctor who is good at treating typhoid fever to sit here for consultation. Huichun Hall is open today. If you feel unwell, you can come here to see a doctor."

After Xie Shuting finished speaking, she led Dong Pingchang and Xie Ningzhi into Huichun Hall.

She glanced at the decoration of Huichun Hall, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother."

"Since this is a major event that benefits the people, how dare I accept the word 'hard work'?" Xie Ningzhi replied without comment.

Li Jingtian, who was sitting in the main hall reading the notes, felt the light in front of his eyes dim. He raised his eyes and said, "See a doctor or get medicine."

Xie Shuting couldn't help but smile when she heard this and said, "Doctor Li?"

Li Jingtian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and squinted his eyes to carefully look at Xie Shuting. After a moment, he was shocked and asked, "Why is the boss free to come here today?"

"Doctor Li! Huichuntang opens today, the owner needs to come over and unveil the red silk!" Dong Pingchang seemed to be shouting at the top of his lungs.

He had tried Li Jingtian's medical skills, but the only thing that he could not accept was that this fifty-year-old man was very hard of hearing.

Normally, I always raise my voice a few decibels when speaking, otherwise it would be like arguing with a deaf person, and the other person would simply not respond to me.

Li Jingtian glanced at the people gathered outside the door, and then suddenly remembered, and sighed: "Look at my memory, today is the opening day. Please do as you please, boss."

Xie Shuting smiled without saying anything, nodded slightly, and led the two of them back out the door.

She glanced at the people gathered at the gate and said in a loud voice: "My fellow villagers, today is the opening of Huichun Hall, and tomorrow is the opening of the county school. If you are interested, you can come to the city gate later to take a look. This is also a gift from my father to Laigu County."

"County school? There is a government-run school in Laigu County. How come we don't know about this?"

"Now we know. Miss Xie didn't tell us. Will there be a notice at the city gate later?"

"That's right! I'll go check it out later. I have a half-grown boy at home who has never been able to find a teacher to teach him. Lord Xie is really a good official."

As everyone was talking, they heard a servant say in a loud voice: "Master! We are here in no time."

Lian Xi and Lian Qiao immediately lit two strings of firecrackers. Along with the "crackling" sound of the explosion, red confetti flew all over the sky, which was very festive.

"Please invite the host to unveil the plaque."

The attendant made the decision, and Xie Shuting pulled the red silk beside her. As the red silk fell, the plaque with the three characters "Huichuntang" was reflected in the morning glow and glowed.

Xie Ningzhi and Dong Pingchang looked at each other, and at the same time lifted the red silk on both sides of the door. A couplet expressing compassion for the world appeared before everyone in an instant.

"If only people in the world were healthy, why bother about the medicine on the shelf gathering dust. Great, what a great "Huichuntang"." A man dressed as someone from a book couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Xie Shuting nodded slightly to the man, then looked at Dong Pingchang and said, "There are many people here today, so don't scatter wedding money. Just arrange for someone to distribute it."

"You're right to worry, little sister." Xie Ningzhi agreed.

Dong Pingchang naturally had no objection, so he called out all the servants in Huichun Hall to distribute the wedding money. Outside Huichun Hall, it was very lively for a while.
