Chapter 143: Survival
Jun Qi didn't ask any more questions and rode back to Beijing.
Mu Nanyan slept in for a rare time. When she opened her eyes, she saw Mu Xiyao staring at her beside the bed, "Ah! Yaoyao, why are you here?"
"Aren't you going out of the house with me today, elder sister?" Mu Xiyao fiddled with her hair.
"Get up now. Why didn't you wake me up when you came?" Mu Nanyan rubbed her head and sat up. She had been too tired recently and finally had a good sleep, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Mu Xiyao followed closely behind her, and Mu Nanyan felt something was wrong, "Yaoyao, you are a little different today."
Mu Xiyao's eyes wandered around, "No, big sister, you think too much."
It would be strange if Mu Nanyan believed her. She had already figured out all her little actions. When she was nervous and told a lie, her eyes would dart around.
"Tell me, what did Jun Zhuoyuan tell you?"
Mu Xiyao smiled awkwardly, "Big sister, how come you know everything?"
Mu Nanyan stood behind the screen and changed her clothes. "It's not that I know it's you, it's just that it's too obvious. It's hard not to know."
Mu Xiyao hurriedly explained: "It's just that my brother-in-law is worried about you. I didn't betray you. I think my brother-in-law is right. This Mu family is a cannibalistic place!"
Mu Nanyan chuckled. Cannibalism? She is the one who eats people. If it were the original owner, the Mu family would probably eat people. But she would never let anyone slaughter her. The person who can subdue her might not have been born yet.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Have you had breakfast yet?"
Mu Xiyao shook her head, her eyes full of innocence. Mu Nanyan pinched her face lovingly, "You don't have to follow me after breakfast. The store has just opened and you are very busy. Take two more people with you when you go out, so as not to make your mother worry."
After dinner, Mu Xiyao was reluctant to leave Jinshengyuan. Mu Nanyan made a new list of medicinal materials. Although there were still fifty cans of beauty cream, she had to make it. Since her hospital opened, medicinal materials in Kyoto have become scarce. She had no choice but to go out of the city to buy them, and she also had to find some manpower. The mountains outside the city were still empty, so she had to plant some medicinal materials to use.
Slums are a good choice. With so many people, labor is not a problem if you want to get rid of poverty and become rich. It can also solve the problem of poverty, killing two birds with one stone.
Mu Nanyan called Jin Wushuang, "Go to the slums with Yuan Wu today to see if there are any men who can be used. Young and strong men are best."
Wushuang didn't ask any more questions. After saying goodbye, he left the Mu Mansion. Wanxi helped Mu Nanyan wash her hands. "Miss, where are we going today?"
"Let's go to the hospital. Xindian will be fine with the two sisters Xiao Mi watching over it. Jun Zhuoyuan's men are also here so there won't be any trouble. Let's go to the hospital today. We haven't been there for a long time. We don't know if these people's medical skills have improved recently."
Wan Xi agreed, cleaned the dishes on the table, and left the hospital to prepare the carriage. Before leaving, Mu Nanyan deliberately entered the space and took out the most basic medical book. Although she knew all this knowledge, she couldn't tell this group of people every day. She should copy a copy of the book and let them read it directly, and explain the names as well. This would save a lot of time.
The hospital is very busy every day, ever since Mu Nanyan said: All those who come to the hospital for treatment and come from the slums will be exempted from medical fees, and the cost of medicine will be charged according to their poverty level.
Later, there were people coming to the hospital every day, and Mu Nanyan seldom came here. Everyone had heard about the opening of the new shop, and knew that she was busy recently, so no one disturbed her. People who were thought not to come today now appeared at the door of the hospital. Muye was the first person to see her, but there were too many people picking up medicine at the counter and he had no time to say hello.
Mu Nanyan met his gaze and smiled slightly, nodding slightly. Muye also responded to her in the same way. Mu Nanyan knew that the boy was teachable.
Mu Nanyan had partitioned the second floor long before the opening, with a nurse and a doctor in each compartment. The people who were originally sitting on the stools waiting to see the doctor all rushed over when they saw Mu Nanyan, "Bodhisattva!!! Princess Nine, you are really a bodhisattva!!"
Mu Nanyan was very upset when she was called the Ninth Princess. She had worked so hard but still couldn't get her own name. Someone in the crowd shouted, "Ms. Mu! You are truly our living Bodhisattva!"
Mu Nanyan's eyes lit up. This guy, well... not bad!
A woman holding a child came in front of Mu Nanyan and said tearfully: "Ms. Mu! Thank you for saving my child's life. I... I... I really don't know how to thank you..." The woman held the child in one hand and wiped her tears with the other.
Mu Nanyan looked at the little guy in her arms with a smile on her face, "As long as you live well, that's the best thank you gift."
Everyone was shocked when they heard her words. This was actually the wish of a young lady from a wealthy family. Within half a day, what Mu Nanyan had just said had spread throughout Kyoto, and naturally reached the ears of Emperor Tianyou. Emperor Tianyou was also shocked when he heard Jiang Su's description. Looking at the whole Kyoto, which young lady's mind was not thinking about rouge and powder or a perfect husband, but Mu Nanyan was different. Yuan'er really found a good wife, smart, capable and broad-minded! Emperor Tianyou hurriedly asked Jiang Su to go to Fengyi Palace to tell the queen about this.
Mu Nanyan never thought that her words would cause such a commotion. At this moment, she was still giving a lecture with a silver needle in her hand. A child about eight or nine years old was lying on the bed. Mu Nanyan was afraid that he would cry, so she coaxed him softly. The child accidentally fell into the pool while playing in the water two days ago, and has had a high fever since he came out. Mu Nanyan originally wanted to take out some antipyretic drugs, but after thinking it over, she decided to give up. She just took this opportunity to teach them a lesson.
Within three injections, the originally listless child became rosy-faced and full of vitality. This needle array is called the Vitality Array or the Resurrection Array. It was created by Mu Nanyan after studying many ancient forensic medicine books in her previous life. It has a miraculous effect on this kind of high fever and convulsions.
Qin Li rubbed his eyes several times and couldn't believe it was true. Qin Duo even exclaimed: "Miss Mu, are you a fairy? This child came here yesterday, and several of us checked him out. He was hopeless, but you saved him with just three injections!"
Mu Nanyan chuckled. How could she be a fairy? She had worked hard and stayed up late to research this. Even a fairy couldn’t have researched this out!
"How can you say she's a fairy? This is a needle technique I created myself. I only need two more needles to complete the formation. Watch carefully. This formation is called Resurrection, and it has a miraculous effect on people with high fever and convulsions."
After hearing what she said, everyone who was still surprised shut their mouths and tried hard to watch her technique. Although there were not many needles, they had never seen Mu Nanyan's acupuncture technique like this before. Each needle seemed to be the same but there were very subtle differences.
It is still difficult to see clearly Mu Nanyan's techniques!
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of Mu Nanyan's nose. Even though there were only five needles, each one required a lot of her energy. If there was even the slightest deviation, the entire needle array would be ruined.
The people standing by and watching didn't dare to say a word, for fear of disturbing her.
Finally, the fifth injection was over. Mu Nanyan wiped the sweat off her forehead casually and asked, "Did you see everything clearly?"
When Mu Nanyan turned around, she saw more than a dozen pairs of confused eyes. Uh... is this difficult?
Qin Li said: "We have never seen Miss Mu's needlework skills before. Each of your needles is unpredictable. We are really..."
Seeing his difficult expression, Mu Nanyan understood that it was too difficult. "It's okay. Just learn slowly. I will write a book in a few days. It contains all the experience I have accumulated over the years. You can read it carefully. Your medical skills will improve."
"Okay, there are still many people waiting outside. Go see the doctor first." Mu Nanyan sighed heavily after everyone left. This acupuncture method was the simplest one she had chosen, but even so, they were unable to digest it, which showed the backwardness of medical care in this era.
After curing the child, Mu Nanyan handed him over to Qin Duo and secretly left through the back door.
Jun Zhuoyuan was waiting not far away. Seeing her coming, he greeted her with a smile, "Yan Yan~"
Mu Nanyan shuddered all over. How could this man be so disgusting and speak so corny? But it seemed, and felt, that he was not bad!
Jun Zhuoyuan held her hand. He knew that Mu Xiyao had been discovered about the incident at her mansion, and he did not intend to hide it from Mu Nanyan. He was not monitoring her, he just simply cared about her.
The two got on the carriage, and Jun Zhuoyuan tactfully handed over some tea, "It's newly delivered today, come and try it, it tastes pretty good, if you like it, take it."
New tribute! This kid took out the tribute just now. Will Emperor Tianyou scold her in the palace? But this tea tastes very good.
Seeing her happy expression, Jun Zhuoyuan knew that the tea had won Yanyan's favor. It was good, but the annual output was too small and he didn't know if it could be supplied.
Mu Nanyan didn't like drinking tea very much, but today she drank a whole pot of tea and still felt she wasn't full.
After getting off the carriage, Mu Nanyan realized that this was the gate of the palace. "I didn't say I was coming."
Jun Zhuoyuan's expression froze. Is he unhappy?
"Yanyan, I want to have lunch with you."
Mu Nanyan felt a little bit reluctant to see him looking so aggrieved. Ever since they had been together, they had rarely had any free time. Every day they were either in the hospital or at Hua Xiangrong's place, and she had neglected him.
"Why are you standing there? Didn't you say we were going to have lunch together? Why don't you go in?"
Jun Zhuoyuan took two seconds to react, then came to his senses and walked into the mansion with his beloved in a good mood. The servants in the mansion had already made preparations, and the table was filled with Mu Nanyan's favorite foods, all of which were steaming.
The old butler stood at the door and couldn't hide his smile. He had also heard Mu Nanyan's bold words today, and he liked this princess even more. He really didn't expect that his prince could find such a smart woman.
Mu Nanyan was still surprised for a moment when she saw the dishes. She had never thought that someone would silently remember her hobbies. It would be a lie to say that she was not touched. As soon as Mu Nanyan sat down, someone placed a plate on her plate and then her favorite food was put into her bowl.
Today, the entire Li Wang Mansion was busy from morning to noon, just to make sure Mu Nanyan would enjoy her meal.
Mu Nanyan picked up the food on the plate and put it into her mouth, tears streaming down her face unconsciously...
