The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1286 - Chapter 1286 1286 Medicine Hall

Chapter 1286: 1286 Medicine Hall Chapter 1286: 1286 Medicine Hall Under the tree in the courtyard, there was a set of stone-made tables and chairs.

“Master, third Master has instructed that if there is anything you wish to purchase or need, just speak freely, and he will directly send someone to acquire it.”

“Having enough to eat and use is sufficient,” Xiao Qinghe shook his head.

“Master, in truth, both third Master and young Lady sincerely care for you,” Liu Sheng spoke, “Due to the terrain, the main gate of the Mansion necessarily has stairs.

I remember hearing third Master and young Lady discuss that it would be better if the ground could be leveled, but such wouldn’t be conducive to preventing rainwater, and leveling too broad an area would be inconvenient as well.

Before the renovation of the Mansion, the ground was very uneven, and third Master did his best to have it leveled.

Although it’s inconvenient for you to use your wheelchair to come and go through the front door stairs, deliberately, a small slope-like threshold was made at the back door.

Exiting through the back door, your wheelchair can make a round, and then you can go out to the street by yourself.

Every courtyard in the Mansion also has thresholds made passable for wheelchairs, some even without any thresholds at all.”

Xiao Qinghe was silent and unresponsive.

No matter how good things were, what would it change?

The only person he truly cared about was Qingyue.

Yet…

“Master, let me go brew a pot of tea for you…”

“There’s no need,” Xiao Qinghe felt uneasy staying in the courtyard, “Why don’t you accompany me for a stroll around the Mansion?

Let’s also have a look at the forty shops along the main street.

Even if I’m just working for third brother, it’s good to familiarize myself.”

“Won’t you rest for a while?”

“I can’t sleep anyway.”

“Yes.” Liu Sheng, pushing the wheelchair Xiao Qinghe sat in, headed for a small gate in the courtyard wall after leaving Yi Garden, “Master, this gate from the Mansion leads directly to the backyard of the medicine hall.

Later, after you finish your consultations at the medicine hall, you just need to come through the backyard to return to the Mansion.”

“Hmm…” When they reached the backyard of the medicine hall, several six-tiered drying racks stood in the yard, and there was also a few patches of freshly tilled soil on one side of the yard, where some recently transplanted medicinal herbs were planted.

Having studied medicine for so long, Qinghe naturally knew that some herbs had better effects when they were fresh, and it was necessary to grow some medicinal herbs.

In the backyard stood a three-story building, divided into individual side rooms, presumably for the convenience of patients who needed long-term accommodation.

Hanging on the building was a wooden sign with ‘Inpatient Department’ carved into it.

Next to the building was a kitchen.

The thatched house was in the corner, divided into six compartments, with six thatched doors each marked with a small wooden sign.

Three signs had pictures of men with ‘Men’s Toilet’ written beside them, and another three signs had pictures of women with ‘Women’s Toilet’ written.

Seeing Xiao Qinghe staring at the wooden signs on the thatched house doors, Liu Sheng said, “Young Lady mentioned that some patients cannot read.

By just looking at the signs hanging on the thatched house, they can distinguish between the men’s and women’s toilets.”

Xiao Qinghe sighed, “Qingyue’s thoughtfulness is indeed ingenious.”

“Nearly everything was designed by young Lady, and the craftsmen simply built it according to the plans.”

To the left of the ‘Inpatient Department’, there was the building of the medicine hall, which faces the street.

The building had four shops, one of which was the Consultation Room, one was the dispensary, with no wall separating the two rooms; the remaining two were waiting areas, with an archway opened between them and the wall of the dispensary, allowing direct passage without installed door leaves.

Xiao Qinghe maneuvered his wheelchair around to the back of the dispensary counter, where the entire wall was almost entirely made up of wooden, dark purple compartments.

Pulling open a few drawers, he found each compartment filled with different herbs.

Exiting the Consultation Room of the medicine hall, the doorstep was fitted with a sloped wooden board for wheelchair access.

Xiao Qinghe himself maneuvered his wheelchair down the wooden board from the doorstep.

Liu Sheng wanted to help, but he stopped him, “I have to get used to it on my own.”
