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

Nie Qianqian observed for another incense stick's time and saw that the patient's condition had stabilized. She looked down at her dirty clothes and asked Doctor Huang to take care of the patient. She found a place to wash up and changed into Doctor Qian's clothes before seeing another patient with stomach cramps.

More than an hour later, Dr. Huang came to find her and told her that the patient had woken up.

Nie Qianqian, dressed in Dr. Qian's attire, came to give him a follow-up examination. The man had already woken up, but due to blood loss, his face was pale and his lips were completely bloodless, making him look very weak.

His servant stood beside him. The servant's wounds had been treated, and his head was bandaged. He only had some scratches and was not seriously injured, but his eyes were swollen from crying, and his face was full of worry.

Nie Qianqian gave the servant the prescribed anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicine and instructed him on how to use it.

Doctor Huang introduced, "This is Doctor Qian from our clinic. Your bleeding was so bad that it was Doctor Qian who used a unique prescription to stop the bleeding."

Upon hearing this, the servant recalled the perilous journey and knelt down with a thud, crying, "Master, it's all my fault. I didn't hold the carriage properly, and the horse went mad and threw me off. When I found you, there was a tree branch stuck in your chest, and the bleeding wouldn't stop. Waaaaah!"

The man lying on the hospital bed said in a low voice, "A-Jiu, get up. This isn't your problem."

This horse was raised in the family from a foal; it couldn't be more docile and wouldn't suddenly go crazy. There must be something fishy going on. Ah Jiu is a servant born into the family; he's been by his side since childhood and is extremely loyal. It can't be Ah Jiu's fault; someone else must have known about his itinerary and interfered.

The middle-aged man, named Jiang Botao, was one of the wealthiest men in Fulin County. He had just returned from business in the provincial capital.

At the beginning of the year, he went to Xuanmiao Temple to have his fortune told by the Taoist Xuanmiao. The master said that he would suffer a bloody disaster this year and that he should stay away from wood and near water in order to avoid the disaster. He was very careful throughout the year, but he still suffered a disaster at the end of the year.

"Yuanmu, Yuanmu, so it was telling him to be careful of the big tree branches, waaaaah."

Jiang Botao sincerely expressed his gratitude: "Thank you so much, Doctor Qian, for saving my life. This kindness is as vast as a mountain and as deep as the sea. I will repay your kindness even if I have to repay you in my next life."

Nie Qianqian said in a low, hoarse voice, "Don't mention the next life, just pay the consultation fee in this life."

Dr. Huang: "..."

Qianqian, you're currently portrayed as a reclusive sage, so why are you so directly asking for this silvery object?

Jiang Botao was already feeling dizzy, and after a moment of reaction, he quickly replied, "That's for sure. I'll have Ajiu go back to the manor to get the consultation fee right away."

Nie Qianqian's gaze swept over Jiang Botao's nouveau riche attire from head to toe and from toe to head again. After a moment's thought, she held up five fingers.

Jiang Botao: "What is this?"

Doctor Huang already knew Nie Qianqian's habit of charging consultation fees: 30 taels for minor illnesses and 50 taels for major illnesses. He couldn't help but translate, "50 taels of silver."

Nie Qianqian's face under her bamboo hat turned green. What fifty taels?! How could Doctor Huang answer so quickly? This Master Jiang has such an air about him, yet he wants fifty taels? Isn't that making him lose face?

Nie Qianqian corrected him, word by word, "500 taels."

Just as Dr. Huang was about to say something, he almost bit his tongue after hearing Nie Qianqian's words. This Nie Qianqian was too ruthless.

Normally it's 50 taels of silver, but seeing that this Master Jiang is a wealthy man, he's asking for 500 taels! He's ripping off a fat sheep!

What Dr. Huang was thinking was exactly what Nie Qianqian was thinking. They had finally caught a fat sheep, and they had to fleece him as much as they could! Anyway, he had plenty of sheep, so they definitely wouldn't be able to fleece him bald.

For an ordinary family, 500 taels of silver is more than they could earn in a lifetime. But for Jiang Botao, 500 taels of silver was nothing; it was worth it to save his life.

Although Jiang Botao is a businessman who is meticulous in business dealings, he did not haggle over the medical fees for saving his life. He was fortunate to have survived this ordeal.

He instructed Ajiu to fetch the money and give it to Nie Qianqian. He was still weak and wanted to go back to sleep shortly after waking up. Fearing that his wounds might flare up again, he insisted on staying at Jishetang so that a doctor could check on him promptly.

Gradually, Jiang Botao's eyelids grew heavier and heavier. In his half-awake state, he vaguely remembered that a female doctor had treated him.

Nie Qianqian left work with a "huge sum" of 500 taels of silver. This 500 taels of silver was more than all the money she had earned since she transmigrated. Including the consultation fees she had received, Nie Qianqian had a total of about 800 taels of silver in her hands.

Jiang Botao, this fat sheep, directly doubled Nie Qianqian's net worth.

She earned this money through her medical skills, saving lives and truly helping others. Holding the money in her hand, she felt extremely at ease.

With her new house nearing completion, Nie Qianqian used her money to order a batch of household goods from the West Market and Shizi Street, including furniture, bedding, pots and pans, etc. She didn't buy anything extravagant just because she had money in her pocket; she bought everyday items that were cost-effective and commonly used by ordinary people.

Nie Qianqian had already made plans in her mind. Next year, Gu Xiao would need to go to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination. It's always good to save more money when traveling, even if you're poor.

After shopping, Nie Qianqian returned to Xishikou to meet up with Liu Yan and Liu Xiong.

Before the market closed, all the food Liu Yan had prepared had already sold out, and Liu Xiong, along with Da Ma and Xiao Ma, were packing up their stall.

The four people at Liu's Restaurant all had happy expressions on their faces, and the smiles on their lips were impossible to suppress.

Liu Yan felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, as if her heart was completely filled. This was not only because she had made money, but more importantly because she had gained recognition from others. Since marrying into the Nie family, she had only received criticism and blame, and rarely received recognition or praise.

Furthermore, although she only ran her food stall for four days, it was as if she had opened the door to another world, experiencing things she had never experienced before. Under Nie Qianqian's subtle influence, she learned many things beyond her comprehension and broadened her thinking.

Liu Xiong's lips were always curled up. He was happy, for a very simple reason: he had made money. According to Nie Qianqian's calculations, he could earn about 4-7 coins for each dish sold. He had sold so many dishes today that he couldn't even count them all. He was sure he had made a lot of money and just wanted to hurry home to count it. He was itching to get home.

Da Ma and Xiao Ma used to be odd jobs, doing the hardest and dirtiest work, and were often scolded or even beaten by their employers. Working at Liu's Restaurant was tiring, but Nie Qianqian, Liu Yan, and Liu Xiong were all very kind to them, and they felt a sense of satisfaction as they delivered the food to the eagerly waiting customers.

Liu Xiong returned to the Liu family's old house and hurriedly pulled Liu Yan and Nie Qianqian to count the money. In the end, they calculated that the total income for the day's official business was 3125 coins, which was more than 3 taels of silver!
