After what just happened, everyone has even more faith in Shulan's medical skills.
People started queuing up on their own initiative, with those who were in pain or seriously injured queuing at the front, and those with mild symptoms queuing at the back.
Another large group of people were there to watch the spectacle, crowding the clinic to capacity.
Shulan didn't mind and just sat there.
Someone said weakly, "Dr. Shu, I took Dr. Li's medicine before. I felt fine for the first few days, but I felt worse later."
Before Shulan could speak, another man in brocade robes next to her groaned, "Oh, doctor, what's wrong with me? I feel so uncomfortable."
Early in the morning, he sent someone to invite Shulan, wanting to come to his residence to make a house call.
Unfortunately, Shulan didn't have time, so the servants had to quickly carry their master over.
Shulan glanced at the fat old man and said to the weak man, "Uncle, please wait a moment."
He walked up to the fat old man and said to Xiao Cui, "Bring me the silver needles."
Xiao Cui quickly handed it to Shu Lan: "Miss."
Shulan picked up the silver needles and inserted them directly into his Juque and Guanyuan acupoints, and the fat old man immediately felt no pain.
With wide eyes, she exclaimed incredulously, "Amazing! It doesn't hurt anymore!"
Shulan simply told him not to move, and then began to take the old man's pulse again.
As everyone watched, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves, "As expected, the apprentice of the divine doctor is different."
"Absolutely, that's amazing."
When Xiao Cui heard everyone praising their young lady, she couldn't help but puff out her chest even more, even happier than if she were being praised herself.
After treating the old man, Shulan came to the fat man's side.
The first thing he asked was, "Do you drink any tonics or medicinal wines to nourish your body?"
Although it was a question, the tone was very certain.
The fat old man thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I've heard that the wine is good for your health."
After drinking it, I did feel more energetic than before, and with the addition of a new beautiful concubine, I felt much younger than before.
Shulan said, "Don't drink anymore."
"Huh? Why?"
Shulan said bluntly, "It's nothing. If you keep drinking the medicinal wine, you'll die suddenly in less than three days."
Upon hearing this, the fat old man became anxious: "Doctor, is there something wrong with that wine?"
Shulan said, "Yes, long-term consumption of these Chinese medicines is bad for the heart and kidneys. You must have been drinking them for more than three months. It's lucky you're still alive that this happened now."
The fat old man turned pale with fright and tried desperately to grab her hand, but she dodged him.
Realizing his mistake, he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, doctor, I was too anxious. Please, you must save me."
Shulan took the damp handkerchief Xiaocui handed her and wiped her hands. Then, while writing the prescription, she said, "I'll prescribe a few doses of medicine for you. You'll need to take this medicine for at least a month, depending on the situation. Also, come back for acupuncture for the next three days, and then it will be every three days thereafter."
The portly old man quickly nodded: "Okay, thank you, doctor."
He quickly sent the steward to fetch the medicine and also presented a bag of silver, hoping to cultivate a good relationship with this apprentice of the legendary doctor.
Shulan accepted the bag of silver without ceremony and began to see the next patient, appearing completely calm, composed, and with the demeanor of a wise and dignified person.
Seeing her like this, everyone was even more convinced.
Shulan continued to observe them one by one at her own pace.
Acupuncture should be performed where necessary, and prescriptions should be written where appropriate.
Seeing the woman's anxious expression, she smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, it's not a big problem."
Upon hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief: "Really? I really thought I wouldn't make it to dawn last night."
She asked worriedly, "Doctor, what's wrong with me?"
Shulan explained: "The lady has excessive yang energy, which causes internal heat, but her pores are tightly closed, making her breath rapid. Because she has difficulty sweating, her fever worsens, her mouth and teeth become dry, and she naturally feels restless and anxious."
As Shulan spoke, the woman nodded, her face beaming with joy, clearly indicating that Shulan was right.
Clutching his chest, he said, "I've been feeling restless and depressed lately, and I can't eat or sleep properly."
Shulan nodded and began writing the prescription: "Yes, although Madam is feeling unwell, it's not a serious matter. I'll prescribe a few doses of medicine. Madam will feel something after the first dose; she will sweat and her appetite will increase."
After three doses of the medicine, you'll feel a noticeable difference. You only need to take it for seven days, and then just rest well. However, you should be mindful of your diet recently, eating a light diet and avoiding meats like dog meat and mutton, which are considered "heaty" in traditional Chinese medicine.
"Okay, okay, thank you, doctor."
After writing down the prescription, he handed it to Chuanlian to get the medicine, while looking at Chenxiang and Muxiang standing to the side.
She smiled and said to the woman, "Madam, would it be convenient for me to let my two nephews take their pulses? They are about to graduate, and I would like them to gain more experience so that they can graduate sooner. I can help you reduce some of the medicine costs."
Chenxiang and Muxiang were secretly learning from her, and their faces immediately turned slightly red when they heard her words, feeling a little embarrassed.
The woman looked at the boys, who were fourteen or fifteen years old, or even younger.
Completely unconcerned, he said, "Of course, no problem. It would be a good thing if I could graduate from this training program."
Shulan nodded: "Yes, they are all diligent and eager to learn."
Previously, because those patients were seriously ill, we were afraid that if we asked them to take our pulse at the beginning, it would upset everyone.
She had now finished seeing the patients with urgent conditions, most of whom had minor ailments. She also noticed that Chenxiang and the others had been secretly learning from her, which gave her this idea.
Knowing they were embarrassed, he deliberately said, "Since you're here with Junior Uncle, you can't just prescribe and brew medicine; you also need to help Junior Uncle with his medical care."
He even said to some onlookers, "If any of you are interested, you can have my junior disciples take a look. If anyone is unwell, I will also treat them. No special gifts are required for anyone who has been examined by my junior disciples."
