The young ladies lined up in a row, with a young eunuch standing beside each of them.
After Wei Ting finished explaining the basics, he supervised the young ladies’ practice.
Princess Jingning and Princess Hui An hated each other and were unwilling to stand together, but no one dared to squeeze between them.
Except… Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao had been drawing her bow.
Princess Jingning glanced at her and asked, “Why don’t you use an arrow?”
Princess Hui An snorted. “She doesn’t know how to use it!”
Princess Jingning glanced at her coldly. “Do you know how to do it?”
“Of course I do!”
Princess Hui An shot an arrow and successfully missed the target.
The young ladies were too embarrassed to laugh at her because other than Leng Zhiruo, Qin Yanran, and Guo Lingxi, none of the other young ladies could hit the target.
Princess Jingning was a princess who was well-versed in both civil and military matters. Her horsemanship and archery skills were quite outstanding.
The more Princess Hui An looked at it, the angrier she became. She wished she could throw away the bow in her hand!
Wei Ting walked over and stood between Princess Hui An and Su Xiaoxiao, slightly behind. “Hold the bow steady.”
He said lightly.
Princess Hui An was delighted. “Ting… Cough cough, Master Wei, are you talking to me?”
She didn’t dare to call him Brother Ting anymore. If she did, her legs would become thick after squatting for an hour!
Wei Ting did not answer. Instead, he looked at the target in front of him; it was unknown whose it was.
Su Xiaoxiao tightened her grip on the bow.
He said, “Take the arrow.”
“Brother Ting must be talking to me!”
Princess Hui An instantly changed her mind. She did not throw the bow anymore. She wanted to learn archery!
She drew an arrow from her quiver and nocked it on her bow.
Su Xiaoxiao nocked an arrow.
Wei Ting said, “Your right elbow is too high.”
“Huh? Oh.
Princess Hui An frowned strangely and obediently adjusted her elbow.
Wei Ting said solemnly, “Aim at the bullseye and listen to the wind. The wind will affect the direction and speed of the arrow. You have to be accurate.”
Princess Hui An stammered, “How, how do I calculate this?”
The wind could neither be seen nor touched.
Wei Ting said seriously, “Fire!”
With his order, Su Xiaoxiao and Princess Hui An shot their arrows at the same time.
Due to Wei Ting’s personal guidance, Princess Hui An even used all her strength to beat up Jingning.
There was a dull thud as an arrow struck the bullseye directly in front of her.
The arrow was so powerful that half of it pierced through the bullseye.
Princess Hui An stared at the target in a daze.
“This, this, this was shot by me?” Why did it seem a little wrong?
How did she suddenly become so strong?
“That’s right,” Wei Ting said.
Princess Hui An blinked.
Forget it, she must have shot it!
Or what?
The only person who drew the bow with her was the chubby girl beside Princess Jingning.
If it wasn’t her, could it be the chubby girl?
Hmph, she didn’t even aim her arrow correctly. It would be strange if she could hit the bullseye!
Princess Hui An was bursting with confidence and shot another arrow.
However, she missed again.
All afternoon, she had only shot that arrow.
How infuriating!
Ever since Hu Biyun was slapped in the face by Su Xiaoxiao in public, she had become much quieter in the academy. Of course, it could also be due to the fact she no longer had Lin Ruyue as her helper.
It was rare for Su Xiaoxiao to be able to enjoy the quietude.
Because of Manager Sun’s arrival, the medical hall quickly stabilized the situation.
In terms of management methods, Manager Sun was a professional.
The tricks that Benevolence Hall had used were all leftovers of his.
Buying shills?
Not bad!
They were not the only ones who can buy it!
Back then, when Jin Ji had just established itself in town, its reputation was still unknown. He bought dozens of shills every day who took turns queuing at the door. After a few days of queues, Jin Ji became famous.
Naturally, if they didn’t have some true ability, this plan wouldn’t last long.
But Miss Su’s medical skills were not mixed with water!
Manager Sun went all out!
Not to mention that he was competing maliciously and it was Benevolence Hall who started it first, then don’t blame him for using extraordinary methods.
On one hand, he had bribed someone to receive treatment. On the other hand, he had also bribed a waiter to spread the news in the teahouse and praised the Number Hall’s medical skills!
In short, it was all over!
In addition, he spread the news that Su Xiaoxiao had treated the Old Marquis.
He could even brag if it was fake. When it was real, he had to brag to death!
“Even the imperial physicians couldn’t treat the Old Marquis’s illness. We treated him first! If you don’t believe me, ask the Old Marquis personally the next time he comes over.”
He did not care if the Old Marquis would come.
“You mean that your Number One Hall’s medical skills are better than the imperial physicians?
“Of course! If the imperial physician can treat it, our Number One Hall can treat it. If the imperial physician can’t treat it, my Number One Hall can still treat it. If our Number One Hall can’t treat it, the Imperial Physician Hospital definitely can’t treat it!”
One word—crazy!
Physician Fu sat in the lobby with his temples throbbing.
Was it really alright for Manager Sun to brag like this?
The doctor whispered to Su Xiaoxiao, “Does he… know your identity?”
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, “I don’t think so. I didn’t tell him and neither did
Ergou.”
Recently, everyone had been busy and the two of them had yet to meet the higher-ups.
The doctor felt terrible. “He didn’t know that the Old Marquis was your granduncle, but he still dared to rub against him?!”
What kind of genius was this?!
Needless to say, Manager Sun’s hard work really helped the Number One Hall get a lot of patients.
In the Benevolence Hall, Second Master Hu’s face was ashen.
“Didn’t you say that the Number One Hall would close down in three days? Go down and take a look! Their customers are increasing!”
Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly said, “Those patients… They spent money to buy them… Didn’t we do this before? It’s an old trick.”
Second Master Hu said coldly, “You mean to say that the steward of the court is a shill? The nephew of the Yellow Gate Assistant Minister is a shill? The boss of the White Jade Winery is also a shill?”
Shopkeeper Wu was embarrassed.
Second Master Hu said, “I don’t care what method you use. Kill the Number One Hall!” Shopkeeper Wu said, “Boss, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.” “Tell me!”
“The Number One Hall is in the limelight now. If we send people to cause trouble again, I’m afraid everyone won’t believe us easily.”
Second Master Hu looked at him coldly. ‘You mean… you’re going to leave
Number One Hall be?”
Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly said, “I definitely don’t mean that. Think about it, whose reputation did the Number One Hall mainly borrow?”
Second Master Hu was deep in thought. “Support? No, Marquis of Zhenbei!”
Shopkeeper Wu smiled and said, “That’s right. They claimed that they treated the Marquis of Zhenbei. Regardless of whether it’s true or not, let’s just pretend that it’s true. So what? Our master is treating the Empress Dowager’s phoenix body in the palace. Once the Empress Dowager recovers, how can our limelight not overshadow theirs? When the time comes, we’ll spread the news that the Old Marquis hired someone else to treat him. He only gave this credit to the
Number One Hall on account of his niece.
Second Master Hu thought about it carefully. That made sense.
“But why do I feel a chill on my back?”
