C160 Opening of the Hall of Charity

After that, purchasing and hiring became much simpler. The tasks were assigned to each of them. The troublesome matters that had been going on and off before had now turned into one for each person. It was incredibly easy.

"It's true that more people is more powerful. In the past two days, everything has been settled. We have to choose a good day to start our business."

Grand Princess Ning Yuan couldn't wait any longer. Although it had been so many years, and it wasn't that she had never done anything before, but she was still satisfied with personally running a Charity Hall. She was truly somewhat impatient.

"royal sister, there's no need to worry. Although all the doctors are familiar with each other, and can directly go to the top without further training, the girls and kids from each family should be taught a good lesson." Qingluo really didn't have much confidence in these people who were willing to lend the money to her.

"What's there to teach? They just need to listen to orders. These are all smart people from their own families, there's no mistake." However, Princess Ning Yuan felt that Qingluo was overthinking things.

"The people we have to receive are all poor people. The first thing we have to do is to learn not to be snobbish and not look down on them. Otherwise, our charity would go against our original intentions."

"Second, you have to learn how to be brave. Those who come here are all patients, and they are sick and still unconscious. How to treat these wounds, which are dripping with blood, needs to be taught first."

"Otherwise, if patients were here, they would panic. They might even need someone to take care of them. We, the Charity Hall, do not need to do this."

That's right. Although these people were servants of the various families, they were all servants of officials of fourth rank and above. Furthermore, they were all well-known people.

When they came out of the manor, they were even more precious than the young miss and the young master of some low-ranked officials. Such worries were not unnecessary, and even Princess Ning Yuan couldn't help but nod her head.

"Also, I need to find a few more smart ones to teach them how to identify the herbs. I'll borrow the Inulin from my side first. She has some background, but she still needs to learn from the doctors."

"Also, when this doctor gets busy, he can't possibly have the doctor come into the room personally to measure the medicine. However, this is a matter of life and death, you can't afford to neglect it. You have to find a few safe people, otherwise, saving someone would become a loss."

Qingluo was like the princess, breaking her fingers as she spoke. Princess Ning Yuan's hot blood cooled down, "Ai, it was so hard to do something. I still have everything, so I only need to do things from the east."

"You still have a long way to go. There are still a lot of things to consider." She couldn't help but admire in her heart. Qing Luo was much more considerate when it came to matters than she was when it came to her young age.

"All that's left is the equipment for the staff. This courtyard, the doctors, the partners, the supplies, and the goods are all ready. Teach the staff a bit more and they can open the door."

"We will choose a day now, and in the days before Charity Hall opens her doors, we will train these kids and girls.

Ten days later, Grand Princess Ning Yuan brought people to make final preparations. As for Qingluo, she personally picked a few smart and literate girls to learn medicine ingredients.

The doctors were busy teaching the remaining maidservants and attendants some simple first aid and handling. Qingluo had no choice but to go up personally and stay in the medicine room with Mo Ju and the other maidservants for ten days.

When Mo Ju returned to the mansion, he was muttering 'Bai Zhi', 'Gypsum', 'dandelion', and so on. It was simply a demon's disease, but Qingluo didn't stop him.

Even though there were labels on every single cabinet, no one could guarantee that they would make a mistake. It was much more likely to be able to identify medicinal herbs than not to be able to.

When the Charity Hall officially opened, all the ladies who participated were present. Madam Hou and Princess Ning Yuan personally took out their signboard amidst the constant explosions of firecrackers.

Due to the special location of the Gui Hua alley, after the firecrackers, there were many poor citizens who came to watch the show. Even in the rich families, there were some servants who came to watch the show.

Qingluo had already asked the Madam Hou to find two overseers with high-pitched voices to continuously announce the purpose of the Charity Hall in front of the Charity Hall's doors. She wanted the poor people to know that this was a charity specially opened for them.

Without the money to see a doctor, they could come here to seek help. Furthermore, they were given help without charge.

In the beginning, no one had dared to enter. However, seeing that the doors were filled with wealthy wives, and there were many who had been humiliated by the rich, they didn't dare to enter the door rashly.

They merely watched the scene outside the courtyard. Within the two doors that were open, there was a rather spacious courtyard. The doors of the two rooms directly opposite the gate were made of pure white cotton cloth, and were embroidered with a red cross.

There was also a person embroidered on each of the two curtains. One of them was wearing a waist-length skirt and the other was a thick and short hairstyle dress. It was obvious that they were in two rooms, one for a man and one for a woman.

"Can you save my child? I beg you, please save my child!" The woman shouted at the top of her lungs, and when she reached the door, she kneeled in front of the ladies, kowtowing to them.

"Aren't we going to save the child? Hurry up and enter, don't delay any longer." Seeing that someone really wanted her to enter the courtyard, the woman didn't even say a word of thanks and hurriedly followed Mo Li into the courtyard. The people outside the courtyard watched as Mo Li and the woman opened the snow-white door curtain.

The first person to enter the courtyard was the second. Not long later, the courtyard was full of people, but Qingluo was already prepared. The woman, the children, and the men all stood aside.

Family members escorting patients were not allowed to enter the treatment room unless the patient was unable to take care of himself. Furthermore, all patients were registered, with what name, where they lived, what disease they had, and what medical history they had.

These were all forms that Qingluo had prepared beforehand, there were special personnel who were doing the registration beside the doctor. Luo Qingqi had explained it to Qingluo before, this was the Charity Hall, it was only a relief station, and not some special medical department.

They were only trying their best to help those who didn't have the money to treat the illness, not every illness could be cured. Registration was a way to prove that they were poor people who didn't have the money to cure the disease, and another was to prevent them from coming back for revenge.

The form stated that as long as it was treated properly, the patient would not be held responsible for the treatment. The free treatment was a pure obligation and there was no obligation to treat the patient.

More and more people gathered outside the courtyard to watch the excitement, because after knowing about Charity Hall, they were all donated and built by the noble wives of fourth stage or higher, no one dared to be rash.

When they finally saw the first woman walk in, carrying the child in her arms, her medicine bag in her hand, and her face full of gratitude, she had surrounded them and was talking back and forth.

When they found out that the medicine was really free and free, the crowd burst into cheers. A smile finally appeared on Qingluo's face. "Let's go to the back. It seems everything is going well."

At this time, a second patient walked out of the treatment room. At first, he only had a small cold, but due to lack of money, he was delayed until he became pneumonia. This time, the doctor helped him with acupuncture and gave him medicine.

When he saw the ladies entering the courtyard, he did not approach them. Instead, he knocked his head on the ground far away in the courtyard. Only when he saw the ladies entering the eastern door did he get up and happily leave the courtyard.

"Eldest Liu, someone really treated you?" The moment the man walked out of the courtyard, he was immediately surrounded by people. Many of them were neighbors that he was normally familiar with.

They all knew that because Eldest Liu had a cold and didn't have the money to treat his illness, he had become very serious. Getting out of bed was very tiring, and he had to struggle to get up.

"Of course, if there really is a doctor treating you, as long as you give him your name and address and promise that you won't find trouble with the Charity Hall even if you can't do it, the doctor will treat you once he knows that you are from a poor family."

"Thank you, my ladies. The doctor said that I came in time. Although I had lung disease, it was just that my lungs didn't feel good. I coughed a lot, but it still hadn't turned into pulmonary tuberculosis."

"If it really becomes pulmonary tuberculosis, even deities wouldn't be able to save me. Thank god my wife is also sick. I'll bring her to take a look later."

Even if the doctor had given him acupuncture, it wasn't that magical. It was just because of the psychological effects, because there was hope, the man felt that his illness had already recovered, and he could walk with vigor.

"He actually kowtowed to us. Looks like he really saved our lives. Amitabha, saving a life is better than creating a seven-level pagoda." Madam Hou chanted Buddha, and the other wives were also very excited.

Usually, there would be many opportunities to kneel before others, but most of them were knelt because of fear, fear, and fear. But this time, kneeling before others was because of their gratitude, and also their gratitude for saving lives.

"I never thought that I would be able to help other people, and it's even people I don't know. If it weren't for us, they might really have died, right? Now because of us, they can continue living. This is truly too frustrating, truly too …"

Seeing her aunt, Madame Jiang, was so excited that she couldn't speak anymore, Qingluo walked forward and held her hand, "Aunt, this is just the beginning. In the future, we will save more people and let more people live well."

This was the original intention of establishing the Charity Hall, although there were still some political factors involved, such as the disagreements between factions and the determination of the personnel.
