114 Confirming the Title of the Godly Doctor
Mo Ruyue still respected the old imperial doctor very much. Although she was cold and hated trouble, it didn’t mean that she didn’t know etiquette and respect others.

Mo Ruyue really wasn’t used to letting such a kind-hearted and benevolent old man address her as “Sir.”

“Hehe, my surname is Tian. Divine Doctor Qin, you can just call me Old Tian in the future. We still have to work together in the future, so there’s no need to be so polite.”

The old imperial doctor’s suggestion was approved by Mo Ruyue, but she changed the way she addressed him slightly. “Elder Tian.”

“Well, today is not Divine Doctor Qin’s working time. If you are not in a hurry to go back, can you follow me to the backyard for a cup of tea?”

The old imperial doctor didn’t haggle over how Mo Ruyue had addressed him, but made a request with a smile.

“It’s fine to sit for a while, but I have to rush back after that. The babies at home are still waiting for me to teach.

Mo Ruyue thought that everyone would be in Huichun Hall in the future, and she and the old imperial doctor were the people who bore the joint responsibility. Now that they were invited to have a cup of tea, she couldn’t be too unreasonable, so she nodded and agreed.

Huichun Hall was not small. The front yard was the place for daily consultation and prescription. The backyard was divided into two areas. One was for the doctors and medicine boys to rest, and the other was for patients who needed long-term hospitalization.

The old imperial doctor personally led Mo Ruyue on a tour of the entire “Huichun Hall.” At the same time, he explained to her some of the ideas he had for opening this chain of medical halls.

Since Mo Ruyue had agreed to be the resident doctor here, she naturally had to find out more about where she would be working in the future. She didn’t expect that there would be a “inpatient department” here, and that it would take in many poor people who couldn’t afford the medical expenses.

It was only at this moment that she had a deeper understanding of the old imperial doctor’s benevolence. Only, to ask her to be as selfless as him, she knew that she could not do it.

“Divine Doctor Qin, I know that your family’s burden is very heavy. You didn’t come to Huichun Hall to do charity for free, so I have the following thoughts about your remuneration. I wonder if you can accept it.”

The old imperial doctor had only mentioned the issue of the generous remuneration but had not gone into detail. Now that he had taken the initiative to mention it, Mo Ruyue was happy to save herself the trouble.

“It’s like this, our resident doctor here doesn’t charge a consultation fee for the poor. He only symbolically charges some medical fees. However, at the same time, the consultation fees we pay for the dignitaries and rich families are not low.”

“Every resident doctor who treats a patient like this can keep 60% of the income, including the total of the consultation fees and medical fees. In the short term, it’s usually paid once a month, and in the long term, it’s also once every three months. This can ensure the income of the chief doctor, and they won’t work for nothing.”

After the old imperial doctor said this, Mo Ruyue understood. It turned out that the foundation of Huichun Hall’s charity was still from the rich.

Speaking of which, 60% of the income was not a small amount for the resident doctor. Sometimes, just one consultation would cost a few taels of silver, not including the medical expenses. It was a lot of money at one time, not to mention how many people she could see in a day.

“I don’t have any objections to that, as long as there’s no trouble,”

Although Mo Ruyue said so, how could treating and saving people not be troublesome? It was nothing more than the old imperial doctor taking responsibility for her now. That was to say, if there was trouble, he would come forward to deal with it, and she was only responsible for treating and saving people. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to join Huichun Hall.

After the main issue was discussed, the rest of the tea was just a few words of idle chat. Then Mo Ruyue said goodbye.

After Mo Ruyue left, Tong Qingyi walked to the old imperial doctor’s side and passed the prescription he had copied down to him.

“Master, I now know the reason why you have been strongly inviting her to join Huichun Hall. This woman, no, Divine Doctor Qin’s prescription does have its own uniqueness. I’ve gone through it again and again just now and I can actually draw inferences from it and come up with a few more suitable prescriptions.”

“In the future, if I see her write a prescription for treatment, I will definitely benefit a lot.”

At this moment, he no longer had the high self-esteem he had before, because he realized that even if he was the old imperial doctor’s last disciple, the little things he had learned were just for show in front of Mo Ruyue.

Fortunately, he had not shown it in front of her and had already been reprimanded by his master. Otherwise, if he really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth and bumped into her, then he would really be a disgrace to his master.

The old imperial doctor took the prescription and carefully clipped it into a book. The first page of the book had a few prescriptions stuck to it. It was the prescription that Mo Ruyue had asked him to identify. He had silently written them down and then kept them in the book.

The blank page behind the pasted prescription was filled with the old imperial doctor’s comments and insights. It was obvious that he was also sorting out Mo Ruyue’s prescription and drawing the knowledge he needed from it.

“It’s great that you’re able to recognize this. I often say to you that the ocean of learning is boundless. There are always people better than you, so you have to be humble at all times and constantly learn from others. Only then will you be able to improve.”

“When Master saw those prescriptions that day, I concluded that this Lady Qin definitely had a unique skill and could definitely learn a lot from her. Otherwise, how could I risk my old face to beg her to come out of the mountain?

After the old imperial doctor finished lecturing his disciple, he waved his hand to dismiss him. He then looked at the newly obtained prescription and began to write his comments.

Although it was the first day of Huichun Hall’s opening, it had already brought him a surprise. He just didn’t know how much enlightenment and surprise Mo Ruyue would bring him in the following days.

After Mo Ruyue left Huichun Hall, he was prepared to buy some things in the county town before going home.

Although she had bought a lot of things after the court case and the big market not long ago, some of them were bought to thank the Liu couple. She had also given away a lot that day, so she wanted to make up for it when she entered the city today.

Originally, she had thought that as long as she bought what she wanted, she would go home immediately. However, she had forgotten that after she showed her skills at Huichun Hall today, she had solidified her name as a Divine Doctor in the hearts of the county people.

As a result, people took the initiative to greet her from time to time along the way, and some even tried to get closer to her. More and more people gathered around her imperial carriage, making it difficult for her to move.

“I appreciate everyone’s kindness, but I still have things to do. Please let me through.”

She said patiently, politely but distantly.

“Divine Dotor Qin, we’re really convinced by you. When you were in the government office, we were all on your side!”

“That’s right, we all thought that you were not a person who would lie and deceive others. As expected, your ability is recognized by the old imperial doctor from the palace. Tsk tsk.”

“Divine Doctor Qin, if we have any illnesses or disasters in the future, we won’t have to be afraid anymore. We’ll look for you. I guarantee that the medicine will cure the illness.”

The people who surrounded them were talking enthusiastically. No one took Mo Ruyue’s words to heart and only wanted to give her compliments.
