Qi Yunqing and Sun Yangxin looked at Xiao Lingling in disbelief, and for a moment they didn't dare to respond.
Jiang Xinian was not surprised by their reaction and patted Xiao Lingdang on the back, "Xiao Lingdang, as for them, you can just call them cousins!
This is your Senior Brother Qi, and this is your Senior Brother Sun. You must behave well here and don't mess around, okay?"
After Jiang Xinian said this, the two of them looked even worse.
Jiang Xinian is the youngest among his generation of fellow apprentices, and the oldest senior apprentice is a full twenty years older than Jiang Xinian.
One of these two people is a disciple of his eldest senior brother, and the other is a disciple of his second senior brother. Now they are 45 and 41 years old respectively.
At this age, he can almost be Xiao Lingling’s grandfather, but she actually calls him senior brother. It’s so weird just thinking about that scene!
But because of their seniority, they really couldn't refuse.
So, when Xiao Lingling sweetly called him "senior brother", the two of them could only bite the bullet and say "hmm".
Jiang Xinian suppressed his smile and gave Xiao Lingling some serious instructions. Then, ignoring the two people's pleading looks, he strode out of the Miracle Doctor's Hall and headed straight for the palace.
The two of them suddenly had a headache. When they turned around, they saw Xiao Lingling looking at them with a smile, her eyes full of expectation.
"So, my two brothers, can I go to the front and treat those patients now?"
Qi Yunqing sighed quietly for a long while, "Forget it, Junior Brother Sun, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take Junior Master...er, Little Bell to the front to make some arrangements!"
Sun Yangxin gave him a sympathetic look and said, "Okay, I'll get busy then."
Qi Yunqing nodded and looked at Xiao Lingdang, "Come with me."
Xiao Lingdang nodded, and followed Chunying and Qiuyan to the front hall behind him, pointing to the table on the right hand side closest to the backyard.
"You can sit here and see patients. Doctor Liang happens to be on leave today, so you can temporarily cover for him for a day. You go and sit here first, I'll arrange for a medicine boy to come over for you."
Little Lingling was so excited that she ran over obediently and sat directly on the stool inside.
But the embarrassing thing is that the stools and chairs here are designed for adults. When she sat on them, only half of her head was visible, which looked extremely funny.
Chunying frowned and glanced around the front hall. She immediately noticed the high stool in front of the medicine cabinet that the medicine boy used to step on.
She rushed over, picked up a handkerchief that no one was using, wiped it vigorously twice with a handkerchief, and after wiping it clean, put a clean handkerchief under it.
"Miss, come, sit here."
Little Bell's eyes lit up and she quickly stood up and changed.
Sure enough, after changing to a high stool, although it was still not particularly comfortable, at least I could expose my arms.
She was so happy that her two short legs, which did not even touch the ground, kept swinging happily, which made the patients waiting in line in the distance laugh.
"Hey, how come there's a new baby in the Divine Doctor's Hall? He looks pretty cute."
"Yeah, whose child is this? She looks unfamiliar. Why is she sitting in Doctor Liang's seat?"
"Is she going to diagnose us? This is ridiculous! How can a baby know anything about medicine?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Who knows? Maybe they're just here to have fun. I think you guys shouldn't be too nervous!"
"Hey! You're really not here to play! Look, Doctor Qi actually brought a medicine boy with him!"
"How is this possible? Are you kidding me?"
Everyone was surprised and looked at Xiao Lingling frequently.
Xiao Lingling naturally felt it as well, and quickly sat up straight, waved at Chunying, took her small first aid kit, opened the lid to check it, and placed it next to her.
Qi Yunqing brought the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy over and said, "Xiao Lingdang, this medicine boy is called Yunsheng. He has been studying at the Divine Doctor's Hall for eight years and knows some basic medical knowledge. Is it okay for him to help you?"
Xiao Lingling nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you, Brother Qi. Of course, I'm easy to get along with."
Qi Yunqing forced himself to maintain a smile on his face, looked at Yunsheng meaningfully, and then turned to go to the backyard.
Yunsheng received instructions from Qi Yunqing to strictly check the prescriptions written by the girl and report any problems to Qi Yunqing immediately.
It just so happened that he didn't think that Xiao Lingling could diagnose any disease at such a young age, so he didn't take it seriously and stood aside.
The next moment, the front desk started calling numbers.
You have to queue up to see a doctor at the Miracle Doctor's Hall. Except for the consultations in the back hall which require advance reservations, you can queue up at the front hall at any time.
There are five doctors in total, and they usually take turns to rest, so there are at least four doctors there.
Whoever finishes the examination will be the next one to take the next turn, so it is unknown which doctor will treat you.
Now the other four are busy, so the next one will naturally come to Xiao Lingdang.
The patient was an old man. When he saw that the doctor was a child, he was completely dumbfounded.
"What does this mean? Where's the doctor?"
Xiao Lingling looked at him with a smile, "Grandpa, I am a doctor. Please sit down. Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
The old man was dumbfounded. "How is this possible? How can you, the Divine Doctor Hall, bully people like this? Even though I'm poor, I can't let a baby treat me like that!"
The old man's words successfully aroused everyone's discussion, and everyone began to protest.
The Divine Doctor's Hall is the largest pharmacy in the capital, and is also the most beloved and respected one by everyone.
Not only because it was opened by a miracle doctor, but also because the medicinal materials here are very affordable and they won’t charge exorbitant prices to cheat ordinary people.
Moreover, the doctors here treat everyone equally and never discriminate against ordinary people like them.
But now, seeing a three-year-old baby receiving medical treatment here, everyone suddenly found it hard to accept. They felt that the Miracle Doctor's Hall had begun to follow the example of other pharmacies and look down on them, the common people.
For a moment, the people didn't know whether they were panicking or what, but they were in an uproar.
Xiao Lingling felt a little sad, but she still stood up and explained seriously, "I'm not a liar! My master is the Dr. Jiang you all call me. I really can treat illnesses!
Besides, the Miracle Doctor's Hall is right here, and I wouldn't want to ruin my family's reputation. If you don't believe me, just come and let me see for myself.
Like this! Here's one hundred taels. Anyone who comes forward and is willing to let me treat you, I won't charge you a penny if I can cure you. If I can't, I'll pay you the one hundred taels immediately.
With so many people here, you don't have to worry about me defaulting on my debt. So, does anyone dare?"
Xiao Lingling spoke frankly and placed the banknotes on the counter, clearly displayed in front of them.
Now everyone was silent, looking at the one hundred taels of silver note, their eyes shining.
But everyone obviously has the answer in their hearts as to which is more important, money or life.
Just when the stalemate was about to break, a voice suddenly broke the silence.
"Let me try!"
