He Jiuniang nodded: "Yes, you can't eat raw or cold food, and you have to keep warm. I'll write down a few medicinal diet recipes in a bit, and you can eat them together."

Madam Gao was delighted with the medicinal diet recipe she wanted and immediately asked her maid to take them to eat.

Only then did Doctor Song have a chance to speak to her: "How confident are you in treating Miss Gao's illness, Doctor He?"

"Ninety percent."

Doctor Song was shocked, but outwardly remained calm: "Doctor He is truly a miracle worker!"

He Jiuniang smiled politely: "It's nothing, it's just that Miss Gao's weak health is something she was born with. She's been weak since she was a child, and it's not something that can be cured in a short time. She'll need to recuperate for a year or two."

Doctor Song nodded, acknowledging that conditioning one's body was indeed a major undertaking.

The food prepared by the Gao family was very plentiful. He Jiu Niang filled a small bowl for the dog, and the little guy ate by himself without He Jiu Niang having to worry about him.

While eating, He Jiuniang and Doctor Song discussed Miss Gao's condition, explaining the ingenious uses of the prescriptions they had written and even the underlying principles.

Doctor Song was both surprised and delighted, never expecting that He Jiuniang would be willing to tell him these things.

"I never expected such a saying; I am truly ashamed!"

Doctor Song sighed repeatedly, lamenting that despite his background in the palace, his knowledge and abilities were no match for a young woman.

"Dr. Song, please don't say that. I only know these methods because I've read a lot of books and absorbed the wisdom of my predecessors."

He Jiuniang spoke frankly, saying that she came from another world, where society and culture were more advanced. She had the essence left by her predecessors, as well as new methods developed by her team. This combination made her far superior to the ancient physician Song.

She never looked down on any capable person in this era, because it was thanks to these people that the legacy of later generations was possible.

She was simply standing on the shoulders of giants to see the view.

Doctor Song had no way to express his frustration. He had also learned from the methods of his predecessors, so why hadn't he mastered these techniques?

Seeing his distress, He Jiuniang couldn't help but say, "If there's anything you don't understand, please feel free to ask. I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

"real?"

Dr. Song's eyes lit up: "Dr. He wasn't unwilling before..."

“Dr. Song has misunderstood,” He Jiuniang couldn’t help but interrupt him. “Back then, Manager Ren was negotiating a business deal with me. He offered too low a price, which I was unwilling to accept. But it’s not a problem for me to exchange medical knowledge with Dr. Song afterward.”

"That's wonderful!"

Doctor Song slapped his thigh and said that at his age, it was indeed a bit shameless of him to still think about the young girl's medical skills, but as long as he could learn something, shame was no longer important!

After the meal, He Jiuniang was about to remove the needles from Miss Gao's body, and then she wrote down several medicinal diet recipes for Miss Gao to cook and eat regularly.

"The acupuncture treatment will last for about seven or eight days. I will come over at the beginning of the morning every day to give the young lady acupuncture."

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

Madam Gao hurriedly asked, "Where does Doctor He live? If it's inconvenient for you, you can stay at our residence."

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but it's inconvenient for me to stay with my child. It would be better for me to stay at the inn."

After a brief thank you, He Jiuniang was about to leave with the dog. It was almost noon, a perfect time for a nap, and the little dog had already started yawning repeatedly.

Madam Gao then had her maid see them out and gave them twenty taels of silver as a consultation fee.

Providing medical care to wealthy people is very profitable.

"Thank you for your trouble in examining my young lady, Dr. He. Madam said that she will reward you handsomely once the young lady's condition improves!"

Seeing that the female doctor was indeed skilled, the maidservant dared not make things difficult for her and remained very respectful.

"Of course."

He Jiuniang smiled. It was inconvenient for her to hold the child, so Doctor Song took the child from her. After exchanging a few polite words, he prepared to mount his horse and leave.

They entered and exited through the side door, unaware that a man standing at the main entrance was looking in their direction.

"Young Master Lin, this way please."

The middle-aged man standing next to him was Gao Ting, the head of the Gao family. The Gao family was quite famous in Jingzhou City, but they still had to be careful to serve this young master Lin.

Lin Yiping turned his gaze away from He Jiuniang, not expecting to run into her at the Gao residence, and asked, "Who is that woman from your household?"

Gao Ting was completely bewildered; his attention was entirely on Lin Yiping, and he hadn't noticed the woman at all.

Fortunately, the steward beside him was quick-witted and whispered a few words in his ear before he said, "Oh, that's the female doctor who was brought back to examine my daughter because she is unwell."

"Oh? You brought your child to the doctor?"

Lin Yiping smiled, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

The executive hurriedly said, "It is said that she lost her husband and her child is still young and cannot be separated from his mother."

She turned out to be a widow.

Lin Yiping's understanding of He Jiuniang deepened further: she was highly skilled in martial arts, knew medicine, and was a widow.

If such a person were to be used by him, he might become a very useful weapon.

Most importantly, she has weaknesses.

"Young Master Lin, let's go and discuss the matter that His Highness Prince Jing instructed us to do as soon as possible!"

Gao Ting urged him respectfully. This young master Lin was the most trusted person by Prince Jing's side, and now he heard that he could cooperate with Prince Jing. That was truly a stroke of good luck. He was very much looking forward to it.

The Gao family were merchants. Although the dynasty did not impose many restrictions on merchants, and merchant families could also take the imperial examinations, they would not become high-ranking officials due to their social status.

Some time ago, he used many connections to get in touch with this young master Lin. Young master Lin said that as long as he could accept Prince Jing's request, he could secure a good official position for a younger member of his family.

Lin Yiping withdrew his gaze and followed Gao Ting inside.

He Jiuniang first took the puppy back to the inn for a nap, and then continued shopping.

She seemed a little bored, but in reality, she was investigating the clothing business in the prefectural city.

The goods that Boss Yu ordered from her are still being rushed to completion, so there are no feather clothes available in Fucheng yet. She went to several clothing stores and found that most of them only sold cotton-padded clothes. Because the clothes were heavy, they couldn't make any particularly nice styles, and almost every store had similar styles.

"Mother, will we come here to do business in the future?"

After following He Jiuniang to several shops but not buying anything, the little dog immediately guessed what was going on.

"My baby is so clever! I was thinking that since our feather clothes are so good, how could we not send them to the capital to make money?"

"Are we going to live in the prefectural city from now on?"

He Jiuniang hadn't really thought about this, and she asked in return, "Do you want to live in the prefectural city?"

The puppy thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "I think so. That way, Mother won't have to travel for so long to see a doctor, and we won't have to stay at the inn and run into bad people."
