Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

The construction of the Medical Hall took a year and a half, far exceeding Ye Shuangshuang’s expectation of eight months to a year. However, the Medical Hall turned out to be extremely exquisite.

The entire Medical Hall is magnificently decorated, with Ye Shuangshuang’s design being unique, blending modern construction methods with a retro yet convenient style.

For instance, Ye Shuangshuang arranged for many bathrooms, adopting flush toilet designs, both squatting and seated types, to make it convenient for seriously ill patients, along with bathing rooms and places for relaxing baths.

After the completion of the Medical Hall, Ye Shuangshuang initially wanted to move in immediately, but was stopped by everyone around her, with the reason being that such a big event should not proceed without picking an auspicious day.

Ye Shuangshuang twitched her mouth at this, thinking why choose an auspicious day as if she was getting married, but she couldn’t win against everyone and eventually chose to move in half a month later after checking the almanac with Ye Feiying and Zhang Jingguo.

On the day Ye Shuangshuang moved into the Medical Hall, countless common people came to help, and she set off firecrackers and hosted a feast, celebrating well for a day.

Nowadays, there are no less than two hundred doctors around Ye Shuangshuang, truly living up to the name of the Medical Hall. Almost every doctor has been allocated a small courtyard, where they can bring their families to live together.

The area where these doctors reside is the largest and also the one Ye Shuangshuang spent the most effort and money on. Though each courtyard is not big, they are all made as exquisite as possible.

The doctors never imagined they would receive such good treatment, each one being deeply moved, with many deciding to plant roots in the Medical Hall and stay there permanently.

The Ye Family also moved into the courtyard at the back. The area where the doctors and the Ye Family live is quite far from the front section where treatment and hospitalization occur, and the location was also checked by a Feng Shui Master.

Even in modern society, many people resist living near a hospital, let alone in ancient times, so Ye Shuangshuang took the trouble to find a Feng Shui Master to ease everyone’s concern with site selection.

After moving into the Medical Hall, Ye Shuangshuang simply remodeled the previous clinic into a school format, turning the medicine brewing area into a place for making tea and porridge.

Teacher Zhang Jingguo, who teaches the official dialect, had been appointed early, ready to start classes. He specifically had people advertise the official dialect lessons everywhere.

Hearing that the official dialect class is open to all, with no time restrictions, and offers free tea and porridge, many common people showed interest immediately.

And what Ye Shuangshuang didn’t expect was that many who came to attend the classes were children brought by their parents, more so than adults, attracted by the free porridge.

Children are more receptive, and they pick up the official dialect faster than adults, and when they return home, they demonstrate it to their parents.

Zhang Jingguo and his wife led an official dialect trend, turning speaking it into a fashionable activity among the upper class. As the trend caught on, the first to follow were the merchants and wealthy families.

From these wealthy merchants, it gradually spread outwards, eventually becoming a trend across the whole Nanzhao. Within half a year, anyone who couldn’t speak a few sentences of the official dialect was considered behind the times.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Jingguo also set up official dialect schools outside Nanzhao Prefecture, gradually spreading and popularizing the official dialect.

Compared to Ye Shuangshuang, who only thought of guiding the common people of Nanzhao Prefecture at the moment, Zhang Jingguo is more ambitious, hoping to get the entire Nanzhao State to start learning the official dialect.

And now, Nanzhao Prefecture is nothing like when Ye Shuangshuang first arrived; without the threat of malaria, the beautiful scenery and year-round pleasant climate of Nanzhao have attracted countless scholars and poets.

The arrival of these literary figures also brought many ancient travelers like Xu Xiake, followed by affluent and leisurely nobles who love enjoyment.

Then came merchants who sensed business opportunities and rushed in en masse, revitalizing the local economy and making Nanzhao bustling.

The bustling atmosphere attracts more people, which in turn attracts more merchants, creating a virtuous cycle leading to better development of Nanzhao State.

The fame of Nanzhao is growing, and common people’s lives are improving. More and more people are changing their previous impressions of Nanzhao and are willing to come for business, travel, and residence.

The most direct impression the court has of Nanzhao’s transformation is the increasing taxes it submits year by year. By now, Nanzhao is no longer the place of exile it used to be.

Being exiled to Nanzhao is no longer a punishment; it’s like receiving a reward, as who wouldn’t want to be in a place known for its beautiful scenery and year-round spring-like climate?

Moreover, Nanzhao boasts the most famous Medical Hall, where renowned doctors gather, capable of curing any ailment, drawing a constant stream of people seeking medical help each year.

In the blink of an eye, it’s been three years since the Ye Family came to Nanzhao. At the Commandery Princess Mansion, Ye Feiying finished a round of boxing in the garden, sweating profusely.

Ye Feiying appeared very rosy-cheeked, exuding vitality, and beside him, Lady Shen was equally spirited, coming over with a cloth to wipe his sweat, jokingly praising him with a smile: ”Old man, you are truly getting stronger with age. It’s been years since I’ve seen you box, and now you still have that fierce style from back in the day.”

Ye Feiying smiled, ”Isn’t it all thanks to our Shuangshuang’s medical skills that keep our bodies well-tuned, and living in Nanzhao is comfortable, which keeps our spirits high.”

Just then, Ye Fangchen, accompanied by Bai Menghan, had also finished boxing and was returning, holding hands. Upon hearing his parents’ conversation, he couldn’t help but chime in: ”Dad, Mom, seeing as you two have such great chemistry, why not agree to Shuangshuang’s proposal for a silver anniversary celebration?”

What Ye Fangchen mentioned was an idea discussed earlier by Ye Shuangshuang and Zhang Jingguo for a special Nanzhao-themed tourism activity to strengthen couples’ relationships.

Ye Shuangshuang brought the modern concept of golden and silver anniversaries, planning to hold a Summer Festival each year, which of course would serve as an attraction for tourists.

During the Summer Festival, Ye Shuangshuang planned to invite loving golden and silver anniversary couples to hold a blessing ceremony, though it wouldn’t be a traditional wedding.

Ye Shuangshuang introduced many fresh ideas into the ceremony, focusing on liveliness. Everyone celebrates for a day, both to honor the couples who have reached golden and silver anniversaries, and to wish unmarried couples a happy future marriage.

Ye Feiying and Lady Shen were just a few years short of being a golden anniversary couple and are currently a silver anniversary couple. Ye Shuangshuang thought of having them host a silver anniversary ceremony at this first Summer Festival.

But Ye Feiying and Lady Shen refused the idea when they heard it from Ye Shuangshuang, considering themselves too old to handle such a trendy affair.
