Chapter 62: Chapter 61: Miss Xu’s Mind (First Update)

Xiao Huai’an slept deeply and sweetly this time, even in his dreams, the corners of his mouth were turned up high.

As he went to bed early, he woke up early the next day, habitually sat up and rubbed his eyes, muttering, "Xianyun..."

But soon, he realized, this didn’t seem to be his room! The room smelled sweet and fragrant, not like the scent in his room!

Xiao Huai’an was taken aback, instinctively turned his little head, and when he saw the beautiful face like a bright moon of the woman sleeping beside him, his little mouth opened into a round circle.

It’s Mom!

Did he...did he sleep with Mom last night? Mom was actually willing to sleep with him?

He remembered when he was little, every time he wanted to sleep with Mom, she would drive him away, saying he was annoying.

His little heart suddenly felt filled with something sweet and soft, like clouds with the taste of candied haws.

Xiao Huai’an immediately lay back on the pillow with a smile, carefully snuggled up closer and closer, until his little body fit snugly in the embrace of the woman beside him, then he contentedly closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

He slept well, but Xu Jing couldn’t fall asleep most of the night.

Originally thought that a child who wouldn’t have any intersection with her suddenly appeared by her side, but the child was so well-behaved and sensitive that she couldn’t bear to reject or hurt.

Because Xiao Huai’an came unexpectedly, there were no other prepared rooms at home, Xu Jing had to have Chunyang and Chunxiang put the Little Point on her bed to sleep with him.

Last night, she watched that Little Point’s face as pure and flawless as an angel’s for half the night, then accepted this reality, sighed quietly, and fell asleep.

Oh well, she could accept suddenly having an extra son.

It’s just hard on the child, who might have to run back and forth between divorced parents in the future.

If Xiao Yi gets married again in the future, I’m afraid the new wife might mind, but seeing Xiao Yi’s attitude towards the child yesterday, he probably wouldn’t let this child get hurt.

The next day, when she got up at her usual time, she found a certain little child already up, leaning beside her, energetically and a bit bored, playing with his little fingers. When he saw Xu Jing open her eyes, he immediately sat up excitedly, with a bright smile, "Good morning, Mom!"

Xu Jing’s heart was instantly illuminated as if by sunlight, slightly raised her lips, and said, "Good morning."

In fact, having such a Little Point by her side was quite a pleasant thing.

In the morning, she went with Xiao Huai’an to Xinglin Hall, because today they had to sell Atractylodes Qi Pill and also had to take care of the little child, Xu Jing took both Chunyang and Chunxiang along, having the steady Chunyang look after Xiao Huai’an, while the more fiery Chunxiang replaced Cheng Xianbai’s job maintaining order outside.

Cheng Xianbai set up a table and chair outside, diagnosing those who came to buy medicine.

Soon, the small Xinglin Hall was surrounded by a sea of people, bustling as if half of the county’s townsfolk had flocked over.

Cheng Qingqing and Cheng Xianbai were so busy they didn’t even have time to ask why Xu Jing came over with this little child.

Perhaps because the county government’s people came by yesterday, having a deterrent effect, almost no one caused trouble today, and by the end of the morning, the two hundred portions of Atractylodes Qi Pill Xu Jing had prepared were all snapped up.

At noon, when taking a break, Cheng Xianbai counted the copper coins they earned and his hands were shaking, "Six thousand cents, a full six thousand! Adding the medicines sold in the past two days, we’ve earned a total of seven thousand two hundred cents in three days!

Heavens, I remember our cost for making this batch of Atractylodes Qi Pill was less than a thousand cents, right?

Our Xinglin Hall, even in its best times, couldn’t earn so much silver in a month!"

Not to mention, many people who couldn’t buy the medicine have already pre-ordered it with us.

This is simply as if the God of Wealth threw money at us, and we can’t even pick it up fast enough!

He couldn’t help but excitedly looked toward Xu Jing, "Miss Xu, I’ll help make Atractylodes Qi Pill next! Young master won’t sleep at night!"

Cheng Qingqing couldn’t even bear to watch her brother’s unseemly demeanor.

Xu Jing looked at him with a faint smile, "Mr. Cheng, if you have the energy to stay up all night and make medicine, you might as well use it to improve your medical skills.

Making Atractylodes Qi Pill is not difficult. My two maids have been helping me with it before, and they can handle it from now on.

You and Qingqing should focus on improving your medical skills. Xinglin Hall will open for normal business soon, and you both will be diagnosing patients. I can guide you.

As for consulting fees, follow the previous rules of Xinglin Hall."

Xinglin Hall is just a small clinic, and its consulting fees are relatively low in the whole Anping County; a normal diagnosis costs twenty cents, while acupuncture or massage treatment costs an additional thirty cents.

As Xu Jing had learned previously, in other major clinics, even the most ordinary doctor’s consultation fee starts at fifty or sixty cents; more famous doctors ask for higher fees, and the consulting fee for a head doctor can go up to one or two silver pieces.

And that’s just the usual consulting fee, excluding treatment and medicine costs.

Not to mention, when large families are in a good mood, the extra reward silver they give is uncountable.

It can be said that once a clinic starts running, money flows in like a torrent, with no worries at all.

Cheng Xianbai immediately coughed lightly and, no matter how impatient he was to learn medicine, had to seriously say, "Alright, in the future, if Miss Xu asks me to go east, I most definitely won’t go west! I’ll stay up all night reading medical books tonight!

By the way, Miss Xu, have you thought about how to set your consultation fees in the future? With your medical skills, you surely can’t charge like us."

In other clinics, some famous doctors dare to charge more than a hundred cents for a consultation! Not to mention the now well-known Miss Xu in Anping County.

Xu Jing nodded with a smile, "I’ve thought about it. My consultation fee will be a hundred cents in the future."

Cheng Xianbai’s eyes widened, "Isn’t that too little?"

"If it’s higher, some ordinary people won’t be able to afford it. Besides, I don’t plan to make money by diagnosing people."

Diagnosing people takes too much time and energy, not something that can be done long-term.

Cheng Xianbai was slightly stunned, "Does Miss Xu have other plans?"

"Yes," Xu Jing slightly lifted the corner of her eye, meaningfully said, "Summer is just beginning; there are so many things to do."

As she spoke, she took out a blueprint and handed it to Cheng Xianbai, "Mr. Cheng, please help me find a few trustworthy craftsmen to create what’s on the blueprint, and I need a large amount of mint. Please see if you can help me source them in the next couple of days."

Cheng Xianbai dazedly took the blueprint, looked at it from left to right, up and down for a long time, but couldn’t figure out what it was.

It seemed to be like a large and small bucket, connected by a pipe?

He sometimes wondered if his brain was constructed differently from Miss Xu’s?

How could Miss Xu have so many novel and strange ideas in her head?

Except for some people who didn’t get the Atractylodes Qi Pill pestering Cheng Xianbai and unwilling to leave, the afternoon’s free clinic ended smoothly.

Seeing Xu Jing finally free, Xiao Huai’an, who had been bored all day, immediately brightened up and was about to run over.

However, at that moment, someone Xiao Yi sent to fetch Xu Jing also arrived.
