I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 172 Another year

“So, next year, when Qingyi and I have established ourselves in the capital, we will bring all of you to the capital, and then we will settle down there.

As for my hometown, if I miss it in the future, I can come back and stay for a while." Bai Yan waited for the two families to calm down before she continued.

"What? Everyone is going to the capital? What should we do at home?" When Zhu heard this, she immediately felt unwilling.

"Yes! All the things we earn money from are in the mountains. If we go to the capital, Qingyi and Baiyan, the skills you taught us to prepare medicinal materials will be wasted. We have to spend money everywhere in the capital. If we don't make any money, what will we eat and spend? You two can go.

As long as you come back to see us during the New Year, that's all." Wen Shi disagreed.

“Don’t worry about the money.

Qingyi and I can earn at least three to five hundred taels of silver by practicing medicine in Lingshan Prefecture for a month. If we treat high-ranking officials and are generous, we can earn much more than I said in a month.

This year when we went to the city, we went to see Prince Xun. We were able to cure his illness, so Prince Xun directly gave Qingyi and me a house with two courtyards in Lingshan Prefecture.

Even if you follow us to the capital and do nothing, Qingyi and I can support you.

When you go to the capital, you will not be idle. We can arrange for you to do odd jobs in the clinic, or give you some money to start a small business.

However, I was also thinking about Baiyun and the other kids.

Now that Qingyi and I have become successful, we will naturally send Qingping and Qing'an to the capital to study medicine and make pharmacy.

Qingwu and Baiyun are both talented in studying. It would only take a year or two for them to receive enlightenment in Qingshui Town.

When they have some knowledge, they will be sent to the capital to study, which is where they should go.

There are many scholars and literati in the capital, making it a good place for Qingwu and Baiyun to broaden their horizons and hone their talents.

Most of the talented scholars and civil servants who are well-read in poetry and books are in the capital. If Qingwu and Baiyun want to achieve success in their studies, they must go to the capital.

As for Qingwen and Qingyun, they are still young, so there is no rush to consider these things. When they grow up, they will naturally have their own way to go. I will do my best to give them the best.

A person's growth depends not only on his own efforts and talents, but also on prosperous urban resources and interpersonal relationships.

Qingyi and I both come from small towns, and we are well aware of the limited education, environment and connections in small towns.

If they want to make a name for themselves, they will sooner or later have to move away from Qingshui Town and Chuanshan County.

In this case, it would be better to do it in one go and move the whole family to Beijing to settle down.

Besides, Qingyi and I entered the Imperial Hospital as female doctors and held official positions. In the future, if Qingwu and Baiyun succeed in their studies, they may also be able to get a government position.

You just wait to enjoy our peace and quiet. You have worked hard all your life, and it is time to enjoy your life. "Bai Yan also knew what Cui and Zhu were thinking, and he would definitely be able to convince them by talking about the future of the younger generation.

"This... Qingyi, tell us your plans." When Zhu heard this, she slowly compromised for the sake of the younger generation.

"On March 1st of next year, two medical clinics in the capital will hold a medical competition. After the competition, Bai Yan and I will stay in the capital. After we settle down, we will bring you all to the capital.

As for the livestock we raised, during this period, they ate all they could, and we rented our fields to the villagers for farming. We didn't collect any grain, but let them exchange it for money.

We will come back to the village to stay for a while and then settle the money.

I can ask Doctor Wen and Doctor Ye from the clinic to take care of the houses I bought in the town and the capital.

As for going to the capital, you can first find out the market situation in the capital, and then consider whether to do some small business or not.

I will also arrange for Qingping and Qingan to study medicine and make pharmacy in the capital.

I will also find an academy for Baiyun and Qingwu to study, and I will even find famous teachers to teach them.

As for money, don't worry. Bai Yan and I are both good at making money, so we don't need it." Xu Qingyi told everyone in the Xu and Bai families about her arrangements.

When everyone from the Bai family and the Xu family heard what Xu Qingyi had arranged, they were so moved that their eyes filled with tears.

They knew that Xu Qingyi had always been contributing to this family, and their hard work and dedication were all for the purpose of giving their family a better life.

"Qingyi, don't worry. We will follow your arrangements and go to the capital, and we will try our best to adapt to life in the capital." Zhu and Wen looked at each other, and after they nodded, Zhu said with some emotion.

Xu Qingyi looked at her family in front of her, her heart filled with warmth and emotion. She knew that although this family was once poor, the unity and mutual assistance of the family made this family full of hope and warmth. She believed that under the leadership of her and Bai Yan, the Xu family and the Bai family would definitely gain a foothold in the capital and live a better life.

"There is still plenty of time to go to the capital. Bai Yan and I will come to pick you up in the second half of the year at the latest.

As for the things at home, just bring some spare clothes, shoes and socks, and buy the rest in the capital." Xu Qingyi told everyone.

I’m afraid that my family members will be reluctant to leave this or that, and will bring a bunch of things to the capital, which will cause trouble when the time comes.

When the younger ones first heard that their whole family was going to the capital and would even settle down there, they were all delighted.

After Zhu and the others agreed, the faces of the children showed anticipation. The capital city was a prosperous place they had never been to. Now that they finally had the opportunity to go there, how could they not be excited?

Xu Qingyi was also very pleased when she saw this. She knew that this trip to the capital was a rare opportunity for everyone in the family. She hoped that they could take this opportunity to broaden their horizons, gain more knowledge, and better adapt to their future lives.

…….

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the end of the year. After the New Year, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan stayed until after the Lantern Festival before going to Lingshan Mansion.

By the time they arrived at Lingshan Prefecture, it was already late January.

After returning to the clinic, packing up their things and resting for a while, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan were called away by Doctor Ye.

They came to the office room in the backyard, and Xu Qingyi saw three other younger doctors in the clinic. None of them was over 40 years old.

After seeing this, Xu Qingyi began to understand why Doctor Ye had called them here today.

"You two are here, sit down." Doctor Ye saw Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan arrive. After seeing that everyone was there, he sat up straight.
