Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei had finally arrived in the Great Shu Dynasty, after all the preparations and arrangements. Her face was radiant with pure joy, devoid of any impurities.
Her silly puppy, who was undoubtedly following her, stood by her side. Seeing her in such high spirits, he grinned and said, “Wife, I’ll go light the firecrackers for you!”
“Sure, just be careful,” Liu Shimei replied, thinking he was just being playful.
As the appointed time arrived, the doors of the Fusheng Pavilion were swung open, and Liu Shimei led her crew out.
As expected, there was a considerable crowd gathered to witness the occasion.
Liu Shimei had thought of everything; even if people did not come on their own, she had enlisted the help of Liang Yi to bring in a substantial number of people – what they called an online brigade!
As soon as the doors opened, the Second Prince, like an exuberant pup, lit the firecrackers. Then, he grabbed Liu Shimei and pulled her aside.
“Wife, let me cover your ears,” Huangfu Lingyao stood in front of her and extended his thick palm to cover both of her ears.
Liu Shimei looked up at him and smiled brilliantly, saying, “You be careful.”
As firecrackers crackled and popped, their conversation had to be loud. After she finished speaking, Huangfu Lingyao naturally lowered his head and smiled at her.
Honestly, when he saw her looking up at him with such a joyful smile, he really, really wanted to kiss her!
But… he glanced around and thought, ‘In front of so many people, I can’t let others see her blushing after being kissed. Better not!’
However, their interaction, in the eyes of others, seemed insanely extravagant!
After the firecrackers ceased, several carriages were parked on the main street, with Liang Wei leading the way.
“Haha! Shimei, Grandpa has come to congratulate you on your grand opening!” His voice boomed like a bell, strong and hearty.
Following behind Liang Wei were, of course, the men of the Liang family!
Except for those not in the Capital, everyone from the Liang family had come. Two or three dozen people walked down the street with great vigor and dignity, making Liu Shimei inexplicably feel as if the Black Cross Society had come to visit!
Luckily, they weren’t wearing matching outfits; otherwise, it would have been even more conspicuous!
She felt embarrassed to have such thoughts and greeted them with a smile, bowing to the Liang family, “Thank you, Grandpa and Uncles.”
With so many people, it was impossible to thank them individually; it would be difficult.
“No need for many thanks!” Liang Wei’s loud voice left behind these words. He then turned to the onlookers and said, “Today is the grand opening of my granddaughter’s medical hall, the Fusheng Pavilion. Thank you all for your support. If you need medical treatment, please feel free to come in. If not, we have prepared tea and snacks over here. Please enjoy yourselves!”
The former General bowed and clasped his hands, saying, “My granddaughter, Shimei, is a medical apprentice of the legendary doctor Qi Yang. Please, everyone, wait and see!”
It had to be said that with his loud declaration and the presence of the Liang family’s warriors and formidable women, their influence was truly substantial!
With so many people blocking the entrance, Liu Shimei couldn’t just leave them there. She stepped forward and said, “Grandpa, you lead the uncles to follow Xu Xian into the back hall for a rest. I’ll introduce the attending physicians of the Fusheng Pavilion here, and then we can start receiving patients.”
“Alright, alright!” Liang Wei naturally obeyed his precious granddaughter.
After the Liang family had delivered their generous gifts and taken a rest in the back hall, Liu Shimei gave an opening speech, “Neighbors and fellow villagers, thank you all for coming today. As you can see, the entrance of the Fusheng Pavilion has no threshold, which represents that everyone who enters the Fusheng Pavilion for medical treatment will be treated equally…”
Indeed, the entrance to the Fusheng Pavilion was flat, with no threshold, and the design of the door was modern.
After the opening speech, Shang Zhi introduced the attending physicians of the Fusheng Pavilion to the crowd and Shang Lu explained the medical treatment process at the Fusheng Pavilion.
The meticulous division of specialties was a novelty in the Great Shu Dynasty. Liu Shimei also drew from the successful experience of Consort Nie in the ‘Min Liang Medical Chronicles’, which was unquestionably novel and detailed in its approach.
After the introductions were complete, they could start receiving patients.
Liu Shimei was about to turn around and enter when suddenly a high-pitched voice cried out, “Make way! Make way! Help, please!”
