Chapter 120 Imperial Merchant of Medicinal Herbs
Zhao Jinzhong noticed that Jia Yuntian's eyes were very calm when he said those words.
It's the kind of gaze one gets only after experiencing immense pain and suffering in life, a rebirth from the ashes.
After Zhao Jinzhong recognized the man as Jia Yuntian, he discovered that he was no longer the beggar he had seen before.
"You knew we opened a clinic here, so you came all this way?"
Judging from his appearance, Zhao Jinzhong felt that he didn't seem to have just happened to be passing by.
Jia Yuntian admitted and frankly said: "Yes. It's been more than half a month since I've seen Miss set up her stall."
I returned from out of town yesterday and heard that Miss has opened the Ling Shu Hall.
I've come here today specifically to return the consultation fee I still owe for the last treatment you gave me.
As he spoke, he took out three coins from his sleeve and was about to put them on the table for Zhou Ruo.
After avoiding Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang, he discovered that Zhou Ruo was asleep on the table.
It was just past noon, and since no one was there to treat her, she was feeling sleepy.
Zhao Jinzhong turned around and saw this scene. "Ruoruo got up early this morning and is sleepy now. Let her sleep for a while."
After saying that, he went to carry Zhou Ruo to the inner room to rest, but as soon as he picked her up, she woke up.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"I see you're asleep, so I'll carry you inside to rest."
Zhou Ruo struggled for a moment, and Zhao Jinzhong put her down.
She stretched her arms and yawned, then turned her head and saw Jia Yuntian standing there looking at her.
"Why are you still here? You don't look sick. Do you want to buy medicine?" Zhou Ruo asked him.
Jia Yuntian is the only son in his family and has just turned sixteen.
He had never experienced the affection between brothers and sisters, but seeing Zhou Ruo's skillful medical skills and adorable appearance, he felt a deep sense of closeness.
I really wish I had a younger sister like that.
"Don't you remember me, Miss?" he asked Zhou Ruo, a little disappointed.
Zhou Ruo walked up to him, looked him over carefully, and then shook her head. "I don't remember."
"When you set up your stall over there before, I, a beggar, had a headache, and you cured it for me. I gave you a red date."
If Zhou Ruo really couldn't remember, she had a vague recollection of red dates.
"Oh! I remember now! There was a red date!" Zhou Ruo was happy when she thought of the date.
Jia Yuntian then recalled:
"I didn't have any copper coins at the time, only a red date. I gave you the date, but you didn't accept the consultation fee and gave me an apple instead."
Zhou Ruo: "I remember the red dates, but I don't remember the rest. So, you've come to the clinic now because you want me to give you an apple?"
Jia Yuntian was stunned. Zhou Ruo turned around, took an apple from the tea table next to her, and handed it to him. "Here you go."
No one could understand Zhou Ruo's thought process. An Chang burst into laughter, and Zhao Jinzhong pursed his lips, both amused by Zhou Ruo's unique way of thinking.
"No, no!" Jia Yuntian quickly denied. What did the young lady take him for? "I'm here to return the consultation fee."
"Consultation fee?" Zhou Ruo then noticed the copper coin in his hand. "Didn't you already give it to me? That red date is the consultation fee!"
Zhao Jinzhong also said, "Young Master Jia, there's no need to worry about returning the consultation fee."
Jia Yuntian was surprised by Zhou Ruo's naivety and kindness. "I can earn money now, really."
Fearing that Zhao Jinzhong and the others might misunderstand and think he was still as poor and destitute as when he was a beggar, Jia Yuntian told them:
"I reconnected with the merchants who used to work for my family, and they all took good care of me because of my father."
I can now earn a living by trading some medicinal herbs.
Zhao Jinzhong was somewhat surprised: "Trading medicinal herbs?"
He hadn't paid attention to what specific goods the Jia family traded back then. "Were you imperial merchants of medicinal herbs?"
Jia Yuntian sighed, "That's right." The Jia family's past glory is gone.
When An Chang heard that Jia Yuntian's family was in the medicinal herb business, he got excited. He figured he could just get his supplies from Jia Yuntian for Ling Shu Guan in the future.
Back then, Jia Guozhang was a highly respected figure with an excellent reputation, and the quality of the medicinal materials he supplied to the Imperial Hospital was impeccable.
However, Zhao Jinzhong and his group did not know why their home was later raided.
Jia Yuntian looked around the clinic and, not seeing anyone else since he entered, asked:
"I noticed that the medicine cabinet in the clinic is unattended. If a customer comes to buy medicine, is the young lady the one who serves them?"
An Chang waved his hand.
"Hey! I was the one who arranged it. I had people set up these medicine cabinets and herbs. Right now, I'm the only one who knows exactly where the medicines are."
"Prince An...you?" Jia Yuntian thought, what kind of setup is it for a prince to come to a clinic and look at the medicine cabinet?
Jia Yuntian thought for a moment, "I have a rather foolish idea. If it offends you, please forgive me."
Zhao Jinzhong: "Speak freely."
"Thanks to you, Miss, for curing my headache and stomach ailment. I do know a little about medicinal herbs."
If you were to hire someone from the local area as a clerk for this medicine cabinet, would that be acceptable?
Seeing Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang exchanging thoughtful glances, Jia Yuntian quickly added:
"I don't need wages, I just want food and a place to stay."
From the moment Zhao Jinzhong saw Jia Yuntian at the stall, he realized that Jia was no ordinary beggar.
The fact that the son of a former royal merchant of medicinal herbs was able to rebuild his fortune after his family was raided demonstrates his resolute character.
His willingness to return the consultation fee as soon as he had the money demonstrates his integrity.
Zhao Jinzhong was about to agree when An Chang stopped him first.
An Chang asked Jia Yuntian, "You just said that my medicine cabinet is arranged haphazardly, so how about this..."
Now, rearrange these medicine cabinets according to your plan. If I'm satisfied, you can start working tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, Jia Yuntian rolled up his sleeves and began working without saying a word.
Zhou Ruo didn't need to worry about these trivial matters; her two older brothers helped her take care of them, and she only needed to focus on acupuncture and treatment.
Jia Yuntian is very low-key. He started learning the business of medicinal herbs from his father, Jia Guozhang, when he was ten years old.
At that time, the Jia family's pharmacies were spread throughout various prefectures and counties, numbering at least a hundred.
Jia Yuntian has his own set of insights into the management and handling of pharmacies.
Upon entering the pharmacy, he only needed to glance at the medicine cabinet to know where the problem lay.
Moreover, he already knew exactly how to change the location.
So at this moment, he was tidying up in front of the medicine cabinet like an octopus, leaving An Chang dumbfounded.
During this time, three or four patients came in to see Zhou Ruo.
When no one was around, Zhou Ruo would take a pen and write or draw on paper, while Zhao Jinzhong would sit beside her reading a book to keep her company.
It wasn't much different from when I was at the stall.
An hour later, Jia Yuntian climbed down the cabinet ladder, patted the medicine crumbs off his hands, and pulled down his sleeves.
Unconvinced, An Chang walked up to the medicine cabinet and looked it over.
It took him three days to personally supervise the organization of so many medicine boxes.
Although Jia Yuntian didn't start from scratch, rearranging the medicine cabinet was still a very labor-intensive task.
It will take at least a day.
"You...you...tell me, what kind of technique is this?" An Chang asked him, finding it hard to believe and with a hint of doubt.
Jia Yuntian explained to An Chang: "This row contains medicinal herbs specifically for treating bruises and sprains, this row..."
Also, this column and that column cannot be placed next to each other, otherwise the medicine will lose its potency...
