She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Princess Yueyue.
She knew that Yueyue had been following Gu Shenyi's medical and poison manuals all this time, but she never expected that she would now become a medicine apprentice in the pharmacy.
She walked over and saw Yueyue skillfully glancing at the prescription, holding the scale in one hand and grabbing the medicine in the other, then quickly pouring it onto the prescription paper and moving on to the next medicine.
He kept saying, "Little sister You Ran, it's rare to see you here. Are you here to see your master?"
Xiao Youran nodded, but wasn't in a hurry to go in. She leaned against the counter and asked, "You, a princess of the Grand Princess's Mansion, have actually condescended to come here to get medicine?"
Yueyue laughed heartily, "Master complains every day that she's exhausted, but she can't bear to close this pharmacy. And with only me and Yanjin as her disciples, why would she arrest you instead of us?"
It was only during this time, while she was by her master's side, that she finally understood the true relationship between her master and Xiao Youran.
Nominally they were master and apprentice, but in reality they were apprentice and master.
Fortunately, she had already witnessed Xiao Youran's amazing medical skills and was able to understand and accept them quickly.
Doctor Gu had mentioned to Xiao Youran about having her sit in the clinic, but Xiao Youran immediately refused. Doctor Gu didn't dare to force her, considering that he always had to rely on her to bring out the surgical instruments.
As they were talking, Yan Jin brought over another prescription. He greeted Xiao Youran with a bow and then hurriedly left.
Xiao Youran asked in surprise, "Why does she look like she's seen a ghost?"
Yueyue kept working with her hands and burst into laughter again, "Who would insult themselves like a ghost?"
Seeing her is like seeing a ghost; aren't you just cursing yourself?
Xiao Youran pouted, "They really lack chemistry. I mean, her eyes are all dark circles, like she's seen a ghost. Could it be that Master is tormenting her day and night, making her unable to rest at night?"
Yueyue casually spat at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? People will misunderstand if they hear that. Yan Jin wasn't tormented by her master, she was clearly tormented by her own mother and her three brothers."
"Mom? Brother? What's going on?" Xiao Youran became interested.
"Do you still remember those mothers and children outside the city walls last year? The eldest was lazy, the youngest was wicked, and later the eldest had his leg broken by the four Song brothers?" Yueyue said as she packed up the medicine packet she had prepared, neatly tied it with straw rope, handed it to the patient standing next to her, and quickly took the next prescription.
Reminded by her words, Xiao Youran immediately remembered Granny Zhang. "It was them! I asked Brother Wang Wu to take that man into town to see a doctor for his leg injury. What happened to him after that?"
"Later, she was like a bloodsucker, constantly clinging to Yan Jin. Coincidentally, Yan Jin was working at the pharmacy with Doctor Gu, so her own mother used the excuse that her older brother had broken his leg and needed to recuperate to stay here and refuse to leave. She's been staying here for almost half a year." Yueyue winked at the people behind her.
Xiao Youran gasped. She remembered the last time she saw Yan Jin, she did notice that Yan Jin's complexion was not good and asked her a question, but Yan Jin did not say anything at the time.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be her own mother and her three brothers.
Without saying much, she simply lifted her leg and walked towards the back room of the pharmacy.
Doctor Gu always lived in her county princess mansion, so Yan Jin naturally lived there as well.
So she never expected that Yan Jin and her three children were living in the back room of the pharmacy.
He didn't ask why Yueyue, as a princess, hadn't intervened in the matter, allowing the mother and her four children to cause trouble in front of Yanjin.
Because she knew that Yueyue was the type of person who wouldn't meddle in other people's business unless they asked her for help.
Presumably, Yan Jin did not ask her for help.
Last time, she had clearly offered Yan Jin a way out, but Yan Jin didn't say a word. This shows that she is a strong-willed person who would rather endure it herself than ask her master for help.
As Xiao Youran walked inside, she curiously looked at the long queue inside, and sighed inwardly, wondering how long it would take for Doctor Gu to see so many people.
Just then, Yan Jin stood at the front, bowing and scraping to each of the women in the line, and said, “Aunties, it’s getting late. There’s really no need for you to wait in line anymore. You won’t get a seat anyway. Could you come back tomorrow?”
The women had clearly heard this many times before, yet they remained unmoved and stood ramrod straight.
A woman behind her complained, "Young lady, we've been queuing here all day. You're saying we can't go? We've just wasted our time queuing. We'll have to queue again tomorrow anyway. Besides, why should it start with us? Can't the people behind us just stop queuing?"
The people behind immediately started arguing, "No, no, how can it start with me? It can't start with me! I've been queuing for most of the day, I have to watch it all."
"I've been queuing all day too! I want to see it too!"
The group got into a heated argument.
When Yan Jin saw Xiao Youran coming over, she quickly looked at her for help and said, "Little County Princess, there are too many patients in the pharmacy. The Divine Physician is busy until very late every day. If this continues, Master's body will not be able to take it."
Xiao Youran frowned. "Wouldn't it be better to limit the number of patients seen each day?"
Yan Jin was on the verge of tears. "I told them I'd limit the number of patients I see, but these patients in line won't listen to me at all. I was practically begging them... no, even if I knelt down, they still wouldn't listen..."
Just then, Doctor Gu called out again, "Yan Jin, come quickly and settle the accounts and collect the money, next!"
Yan Jin had no choice but to hurriedly bow to Xiao Youran and run back to Doctor Gu's side.
At this moment, Doctor Gu poked his head out and saw Xiao Youran. Overjoyed, he exclaimed, "Come, come, Xiao Youran! The consultation table I reserved for you is already waiting for you!"
Xiao You Ran: ……
She thought for a moment, then walked to the front and sat down at a small table next to Doctor Gu, picking up a pen and ink.
Doctor Gu chuckled and said to the patients behind him, "The little miracle doctor is here! Why don't you all hurry up and see her? She's a legendary doctor that even my master can't get her to come!"
The patients behind hesitated and did not move their feet easily.
In their eyes, a five-year-old baby's medical skills are naturally inferior to those of the white-bearded Doctor Gu.
But then they saw Xiao You Ran pick up a pen and paper and quickly write dozens of pages.
Yan Jin was dumbfounded.
Xiao Youran quickly picked up the papers and handed them to Yan Jin, instructing, "Start distributing them from this auntie onwards. Those who receive a registration number can see a doctor today. Those who don't receive a registration number should come back tomorrow."
Yan Jin distributed the numbers with some skepticism.
There are only ten numbers available.
The people behind them didn't know what was going on at first, but when they heard that only those who had received a number could see a doctor, they started to clamor.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Jin brought over a second stack of paper and began distributing it.
