A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

Liu Xiong and Liu Yan felt warm inside, looking at Nie Qianqian with pride and satisfaction. Qianqian was smart and filial. In Liu Yan's eyes, no other girl could compare to Qianqian. Qianqian was the best.

Because of the values ​​of the world, Gu Xiao's position as the smartest person in the family is unshakable, but in Liu Yan and Liu Xiong's hearts, Qianqian is also extremely smart and learns things very quickly.

During the months she studied medicine at Jishetang, even the director of the hospital came to Liu's restaurant for a meal and praised her highly, saying that she was a natural talent for medicine and had extraordinary abilities. He even offered to take Qianqian as his personal disciple and pass on all his medical knowledge to her.

When Liu Yan learned of this, she was overjoyed.

In her opinion, she values ​​Qianqian's academic learning more than her business acumen, as it would provide her with a means to make a living and ensure a comfortable life for the rest of her days.

Liu Yan had no idea that Director Zhang, the head of the clinic, had been coaxed and "forced" to come to Liu's small restaurant by Qianqian. He had to recite the words of praise that Qianqian had prepared in advance, in a very formal and precise manner. Director Zhang was naturally uncomfortable. Seeing Liu Yan's profuse thanks, his face flushed, and he felt uneasy. However, through this "insincere" performance, he successfully learned a novel acupuncture technique from Qianqian, so his blushing performance was not in vain.

Liu Xiong waved his hand, "Qianqian, I appreciate your kindness, but we can't let you spend this money. If you hadn't pulled me into joining Liu Family Restaurant back then, I might still be carrying heavy loads at the docks. I should be thanking you, not letting you spend money."

Liu Yan held Qianqian's hand and said, "Now that I have a skill, I can earn money. You don't need to spend any money. I can buy clothes for myself and I can also buy clothes for you. You are still young and should dress up nicely."

Qianqian felt sorry for her mother, but Liu Yan felt even more sorry for Qianqian.

If someone else had met Qianqian back then and saved her, perhaps she would have had a better life. She wouldn't have had to grow up in the Nie family, suffering endless scorn and contempt, growing up without a father's love, and enduring so much hardship with her.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, the other customers and staff in the shop found this scene quite heartwarming. An elderly woman, leaning on her cane, remarked with emotion, "This little girl is so filial; it's rare to see such sensible children these days."

The young shop assistant next to them, while wiping the counter, chimed in, "Auntie and uncle are so lucky, they're going to enjoy life to the fullest from now on!"

If Liu Yan hears others praising her, she feels uncomfortable, but if she hears others praising Qianqian, she feels a hundred times happier than if she heard herself being praised.

Liu Yan smiled as she looked at the clothes in the shop, wanting to buy Qianqian a suitable outfit, when she heard a crisp voice.

"They've only made a few coins, yet they dare to boast that they can buy whatever they want. It's laughable."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young woman in a bright red Shu brocade dress striding into the shop. Her hair was tied up high and adorned with a gold hairpin. With each step she took, the hairpin swayed gently and made a crisp sound.

Nie Qianqian turned around and saw, "Hehe, what a coincidence, it's Zhao Jiaojiao, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family."

Zhao Jiaojiao raised her chin, her eyes full of arrogance, "Manager Hu, no wonder my father said that the business of Jinxiu Pavilion is getting worse year by year. You let all kinds of customers into the store, how can the business be good?"

Manager Hu, who had been busy with his abacus, looked up and saw Miss Zhao Jiaojiao. He immediately frowned and felt a headache coming on.

This Jinxiu Pavilion is one of the Zhao family's properties, and Manager Hu naturally knows and understands the eldest daughter of the Zhao family.

This young lady knows nothing about business and has no desire to learn, but Master Zhao always forces her to understand the family business. So, she often runs to the shops that interest her to buy things for herself, while also pointing fingers and making her own opinions. She is extremely arrogant because she is the young lady of the Zhao family.

Because Jinxiu Pavilion was owned by the Zhao family, Manager Hu naturally treated this young lady with great deference. However, Jinxiu Pavilion is now...

Before Manager Hu could finish thinking, Zhao Jiaojiao became impatient and pointed directly at him.

"Manager Hu, did you hear me? Come here right now!"

Shopkeeper Hu smiled wryly. He was used to being bossed around by Zhao Jiaojiao, and even though the situation was different now, he couldn't help but quickly walk over.

Seeing that Manager Hu was so obedient, Zhao Jiaojiao felt pleased and gave Nie Qianqian a provocative look.

Nie Qianqian was somewhat puzzled. She had always referred to herself as Doctor Qian when she met Zhao Jiaojiao before, and Zhao Jiaojiao had never met her in person. Where did this great hostility come from?

Zhao Jiaojiao had actually noticed Nie Qianqian even before she entered the room. It was hard for her not to notice her, because Nie Qianqian was just too beautiful.

Zhao Jiaojiao was originally confident in her beauty, which was unmatched in Qinghe County. However, she had recently suffered a blow from the distinguished guests of the Zhao family, and now she had seen Nie Qianqian.

The distinguished guests of the Zhao family were one thing, but they were daughters of officials from the capital, of noble status. This girl, on the other hand, was plain and dressed in coarse cloth. How could she possibly have such a beautiful face?

Nie Qianqian's clothes weren't shabby, nor were they truly coarse linen clothes, but in Zhao Jiaojiao's eyes, who was used to a life of luxury, this outfit made her look no different from a country bumpkin.

Zhao Jiaojiao: "Shouldn't Manager Hu be in charge of what kind of guests Jinxiu Pavilion receives?"

Shopkeeper Hu was utterly helpless after hearing Zhao Jiaojiao's words. The shop was open for business; any customer who was willing and able to buy could come in and choose. How could he possibly select his customers?

Moreover, although he was using an abacus, he heard what Nie Qianqian and the others said. Qianqian was beautiful, filial, and likable, and she had a very good impression on Manager Hu.

Manager Hu, a seasoned businessman with many years of experience, replied, "Miss Zhao, Jinxiu Pavilion is an open business. How can we be selective about our customers and turn them away? When Master Zhao first bought Jinxiu Pavilion, he taught me that in business, we welcome customers from all directions and treat all kinds of customers with respect and courtesy."

Zhao Jiaojiao felt a little scared when she heard her father mentioned, but being spoiled, she was unwilling to back down. She immediately glared at Manager Hu and said, "Don't try to intimidate me with my father! I'm talking about things that are good for business. Even if my father knew, he would agree!"
