Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Mei Jiang raised her head and stared intently at Yun Shengsheng.

Yun Shengsheng smiled and said, "But senior sister, everything should be done in moderation."

"Kindness is a good thing, but you can't get yourself into trouble. If you do, who will pay for the medical care of the poor?"

Mei Jiangyi seemed to be deep in thought.

"Senior sister, I can support you in opening a female clinic."

"I'll cover the initial investment for the permits, shop, renovations, staff, and medicinal herbs, and help get the whole shop up and running." She paused deliberately after saying this.

Mei Jiang's eyes lit up dramatically when he heard Yun Shengsheng's words.

She traveled all over the country and tried to open women's clinics in many places, but none of them were successful.

Either the local government makes things difficult, or the local gentry resists, or the industry ostracizes them, or the patients dare not come.

She was even imprisoned once for this.

She thought that if things were this difficult in the provinces, they would only be more difficult in the capital.

There are more rules, more complex power dynamics, and more people watching you.

She was simply not good at handling these kinds of troubles. But although she hadn't spent much time with Yun Shengsheng, she had already realized that her junior sister's ability to deal with problems was absolutely first-rate.

Although it's a bit unfair to dump all this mess on her junior sister, a bit like bullying a child, a bit... never mind, she just really wants to have a women's clinic.

"However," Yun Shengsheng continued, "the rules and procedures in the clinic must be followed according to my rules."

Mei Jiang nodded without hesitation.

She didn't care who the boss was; all she wanted was a clinic that specialized in treating women, and that was enough.

Yun Shengsheng laughed when she saw how readily she nodded.

"Since Senior Sister has no problem, I'll go back today and write up a plan, clearly outlining the rules, methods, and how the money will be used. Once it's done, I'll show it to Senior Sister. If she thinks it's okay, we can open this women's clinic."

Mei Jiang was so excited that she almost stood up, not expecting Yun Shengsheng to agree so readily.

"Okay, okay! I'll do whatever you say!"

On the way back, Yun Shengsheng was calculating the costs in her mind.

[My current financial situation isn't bad. I've saved 50,000 taels myself, and Yan Shijin and Princess Yongjia have given me another 50,000 taels, bringing the total to 100,000 taels.]

[I originally planned to use this money to open a bookstore, not one of those small roadside book stalls, but one with a printing workshop, to print all kinds of books in bulk and sell them to booksellers and bookstores all over the country, thus driving down book prices significantly.]

This way, ordinary people can also afford to read books.

However, the core costs of this business are only two: paper and molds. The molds are fine, but the paper cost is still too high. So I've been thinking about whether it's possible to develop a new type of paper that is both cheap and easy to use.

However, the bookstore project has a long preparation period and several technical hurdles to overcome; it can't be launched in a day or two. The female doctor's clinic, on the other hand, can be started first.

To open a female-run clinic, you need to choose a location.

Women's medical treatment is different from men's; there are many unspoken taboos. The thought of a woman standing in front of a shop on the street, going in and out to see patients, would be mortifying enough with the pointing fingers and whispers of the neighbors. This was especially true for the wives and daughters of wealthy and powerful families.

Therefore, the best choice is not a shop, but a courtyard. Ideally, it should be a large, secluded mansion with three or four courtyards, where once the gate is closed, the interior reveals a hidden paradise.

Women don't necessarily come here for medical treatment. They might come to recuperate, to improve their health, to have a check-up, or even stay for two or three days to escape their family troubles. In this way, the clinic becomes more than just a clinic; it becomes a private space exclusively for women.

Yun Shengsheng did some mental calculations.

Last year, I bought two three-courtyard houses, each costing three thousand taels of silver. If I were to buy a four-courtyard house, it would probably cost four or five thousand taels.

The courtyard needs to be renovated after purchase, new furniture needs to be made, and the consultation room needs to be equipped with suitable beds, screens, and other furniture for patient visits.

[We'll also need Mr. Xu's help to find some maids who understand basic medical principles, and to search for some female doctors. Add to that the cost of purchasing medicinal herbs, and the whole thing will cost about thirty thousand taels of silver to get the setup up and running.]

Thirty thousand taels, I can afford it...

Yan Shijin sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, resting, but his ears were perked up, silently listening to Yun Shengsheng's thoughts.

He felt that life was like an inexhaustible treasure trove.

Just when you think you've seen all of her abilities, she reveals a new surprise from another angle.

It seems that there is no problem in this world that can truly stump her.

Hmm, it doesn't seem like it...

Yan Shijin suddenly spoke up: "Shengsheng, the Lantern Festival is in two days. You will be going to the academy on the sixteenth. You need to prepare in advance."

Yun Shengsheng's train of thought was interrupted, and her face instantly fell.

"Brother Shi Jin," her voice was filled with resentment, "you could have told me this a day in advance, you didn't have to tell me so early."

【You've made me unhappy so early! I was supposed to be happy for two days! Now, my happiness is over from this moment on...】

Yan Shijin looked at her puffed-up face and couldn't help but smile.

He felt he might have gone a bit too far, but he genuinely enjoyed seeing her get all flustered.

The carriage entered the city and proceeded at a leisurely pace along South Street.

The carriage hadn't gone far when it suddenly stopped.

Mo Ning's voice came from outside the carriage curtain, lowered slightly: "Master, Miss Yun, it is the Ninth Prince of the Great Yan Kingdom who has stopped the carriage."

Yun Shengsheng was taken aback and subconsciously turned to look at Yan Shijin.

"The Ninth Prince of the Great Yan Kingdom? Ji Xinglan?"

"Brother Shi Jin, shouldn't he be locked up in the embassy? How did he escape...?"
