Chapter 188: This Is Promotion

Translator: Mango Cat  Editor: DarkGem

"Trouble? What trouble?"

For something so big to happen, naturally Master Yan knew of it . He tossed the cage with the bird he was teasing under the veranda to a servant boy as he stared at his reporting subordinate .

"Curing one Dali Haiping is proof that she can vanish ills with medicine and return spring with miraculous skills?"

The servant was visibly disturbed .

"But Dali Haiping’s illness was really cured," he said . "Miss Jun’s skills…"

Master Yan scoffed .

"Someone was cured? That wasn’t skill, that was the hard work of money," he said while frowning at his subordinates . "Are you stupid? That Dali Haiping is a poor devil; could he have seen a good doctor? Could he have eaten good medicine?"

The servants were struck with sudden realization .

"A serious injury needs to be treated well," said one person . "Where would a poor man like Dali Haiping get money . "

"Yes, yes, once he had no money, the doctors didn’t bother seeing him, much less giving him any medicine," said another, nodding . "No one gave him treatment, so it would be strange if he could have gotten better . "

"We must’ve been confused to be unable to think of this," said everyone, embarrassed .

Master Yan took a sip of the tea handed to him by a servant girl .

"I can’t blame you for being confused," he said . "Thinking back on it, Miss Jun and the Fang Family must have selected very carefully . Dali Haiping is famous, and he suffered through unhappy and miserable years . Curing him would naturally cause a stir . "

"Master, do you mean that this is all Miss Jun’s plan?" asked a subordinate .

Master Yan sat down onto his rocking chair under the veranda .

"It’s not that she planned it . Could it be that Heaven has fallen?" he jeered . "Doesn’t everyone know about Old Doctor Jun’s medical skills? He did have the humane heart of a doctor who saw all sorts of minor illnesses, like aches and pains, but he was just kind and charitable; that’s all . Where was his super skills . If he was like that, how could have his granddaughter learned anything . "

Everyone nodded .

That’s right, that’s right . Old Doctor Jun did not have what could be considered divine medical skills .

"So this occurrence is exactly the same as the free medicine and treatment . It’s just using money to buy reputation," continued Master Yan . He leaned back against the chair and rocked back and forth . "This time, the Fang Family definitely requested a famous doctor to obtain a rare medicine so that Dali Haiping could be cured as promotion for Miss Jun . "

Everyone nodded again .

"But the promotion this time is huge . It’s not just the poor and greedy that are part of the bustle," said one servant hesitantly . "Our people there reported that the wealthy personage of the countryside have gone too . If Miss Jun comes to rely on them, the matter with the house might become troublesome . "

Master Yan smiled .

"Rely on them? She wants to rely on others . She should rely on her own talent, money . " He clapped his hands and smiled condescendingly .

Who of those wealthy personages lacked money . If they wanted doctors to treat them they could . It was not worthwhile to deal with Miss Jun .

As for flaunting wealth to lure them into cooperation…

"Miss Jun and Young Master Fang are still too young . If the head of the Fang Family appeared, they might have succeeded . " Master Yan stroked his beard . "If the head of the Fang Family does come out, though, we could reason with them . "

At this he smirked .

"Reason them about my possession of the land deed . My Yan Family is not wealthier than the Fang Family, but we are not some easily bullied poor devils . "

He had sense and money, so if he really wanted to stand against the government office, they would first have to weight the pros and cons .

Everyone present nodded, their expressions becoming softer . Soon news came of the matter: although there were more wealthy personages appearing, they were not asking Miss Jun for treatment; merely observing .

"This says that not everyone is an idiot . " Everyone in the Yan Family laughed .

Before their laughter could subside, another person came rushing in .

"Not good, Master . Someone else was cured and came running in to thank Miss Jun," he said nervously .

Another one?

Everyone’s expression froze . They subconsciously turned to look at Master Yan .

His face was still relaxed, as he rocked in his rocking chair .

"Since this is a promotion, they can’t just do it once," he explained .

It was just as he said . But soon, the news continued to come .

Miss Jun cured an old man’s chronic coughing of blood .

The blind flower selling granny’s grandson was cured of infantile convulsion . He had run over himself to kowtow to Miss Jun .

Widow Liu’s bloated stomach said to harbor a demon fetus for three years was cured; her stomach was now flat .

One, two, three, four, five .

Once the first servant came to report, they wouldn’t be finished when the second came charging in . The third and fourth continued pouring in .

No one was smiling anymore . Everyone was shocked and silent .

Master Yan was no longer rocking back and forth . He squeezed his teacup as he watched the unending stream of subordinates come in .

How much money that Miss Jun spent for all this medicine?

This could not have been bought .

. . . …

Hu Gui watched the people bringing in their elderly and young .

He remembered that these people had been seen by Miss Jun several days ago .

The patients lined up forgot about getting treated . Instead they were dumbfoundingly watching the endless stream of people kneeling to Miss Jun in thanks .

What was going on?

"This sickness comes like a landslide, but leaves like spinning silk," said Miss Jun . "It does take some time for the medicine to have effect .

Hu Gui looked at her .

"It is just like planting a field . If the seeds are sown in March, it still takes several months for them to mature," she declared .

Hu Gui watched the continuous stream of people shouting in excitement .

Miss Jun had been open for business in her straw shack for half a month . He had waited here for half a month, so he had more or less an impression of them .

These people were cured by her in this half month .

You need land to sow a field . This land was her building, the Jiuling Hall .

You need seeds to sow a field . These seeds were the people seeking treatment .

The vile destruction of the house attracted everyone’s attention .

Announcing the free treatment and medicine, spending money like water, attracted everyone in hordes .

If it were not for the house crumbling, if it not were for the free treatment, even if the Jiuling Hall opened, it would not attract this much attention or patients .

She said she had come here not to live but to revitalize the name of the Jiuling Hall .

She had also said that even if you don’t believe it, the collapse of the house was very good .

She spent money like water, but she had said all the money she had spent would be earnt back .

"So…" Hu Gui mumbled .

Miss Jun smiled at him .

"So now it is time to harvest," she said .

Harvest .

One Dali Haiping could be said to be an accident, two cured could be a coincidence, three could be good fortune, but if it was everyone?

The Jiuling Hall vanished ills with medicine, returned spring with skills .

This promise made a sound when thrown on the floor; it was not false at all .
