The next day, Lu Junyuan was arranging herbs to dry in the courtyard when his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he dodged a sharp arrow that was shot at him.
The arrow pierced the cypress tree behind him, its trembling fletching curled with a piece of paper.
Lu Junyuan walked over, took the note, opened it, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He then put the note into the burning medicine furnace next to him, and the note instantly turned to ashes.
At this moment, Steward Qiu strode into the courtyard, almost running. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Young Master, the disciple of the Medical Sage has appeared!"
Where?
"Miraculous Hands Hall".
*
At this time, the entrance to Miaoshoutang was already crowded with people, completely blocking traffic. Shuntian Prefecture had to send out yamen runners to maintain order.
People lined up in front of Miaoshoutang, and the long queue stretched as far as the eye could see.
A middle-aged man walked out of the Miaoshou Hall and bowed to everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Kang is only one person, and no matter how skilled he is, he cannot see so many people in one day. However, Dr. Kang is considerate of everyone's difficulties and has specially launched several exclusive prescriptions. If you have symptoms such as cold, stomachache, headache, or heart disease, you can go directly to the counter to buy the prepared medicine. We have doctors to check the prescriptions, and those who are suitable can buy the medicine directly without having to suffer the pain of queuing."
Other patients can take a number and come to our clinic for treatment according to their number. Dr. Kang will be at Miaoshoutang to treat everyone during this period. Miaoshoutang guarantees that everyone can see a doctor!
"Good!" Upon hearing this, the people all clapped and applauded.
Most of the people queuing up were suffering from the same ailment as the middle-aged man. Since they were all prescribed by Dr. Kang, many people went directly to the pharmacy counter to queue up and buy the medicine.
People who did not have the above-mentioned symptoms took numbers and waited for Dr. Kang to treat them, and the entrance became orderly.
Inside the Miraculous Hands Hall, a middle-aged doctor in his forties was patiently treating a patient. His appearance was strikingly similar to the person depicted in the portrait of the Medical Sage's disciple that had spread throughout Longxiao City.
Those who had seen Su Ruojin disguised as a man at Jishetang began to have some doubts about Doctor Kang, after all, the two were too far apart in age.
However, a casual remark by Doctor Kang, "I have an apprentice who often travels around treating patients and has mastered my skills," dispelled everyone's doubts.
The young man was Dr. Kang's apprentice, which explained everything.
Given the choice between a young man not yet twenty and a middle-aged man in his forties, people would naturally choose to believe that the latter is the true disciple of the Medical Sage.
Although the medicinal herbs sold at Miaoshoutang and Dr. Kang's consultation fees are much higher than those of other clinics, many patients still seek out Dr. Kang for treatment.
It's only natural that a renowned doctor would charge a higher price.
Especially for those patients who directly bought the pre-prepared prescriptions, most of them experienced significant improvement in their symptoms after just one day of taking the medicine. Those with milder symptoms felt that they were almost completely cured in just one day.
Overnight, Miaoshoutang became one of the top medical clinics in the entire Longxiao City, and the number of people coming to the clinic increased dramatically.
The store urgently hired ten waiters in one day but was still too busy, so they posted another recruitment notice.
The store was bustling with people picking up medicine, seeing doctors, paying bills, and looking for jobs, forming several different lines. It became the most crowded place in the entire Longxiao City.
That day, Physician Kang was seeing patients when two palace guards entered. "Physician Kang, the Imperial Preceptor requests your presence."
Kang Taihe, who was seeing patients, did not change his expression. He merely raised his eyelids slightly and continued to see the patients, saying, "Please line up for your appointments."
The guard was taken aback. He hadn't expected anyone to dare refuse the Imperial Advisor. His first thought was that Physician Kang hadn't understood what he was saying, so he asked him again.
"Dr. Kang, the Imperial Preceptor requests your presence."
Kang Taihe finally stopped taking the pulse, calmly picked up a pen, and began writing a prescription. This time, without even raising his eyelids, he said, "Please line up for your appointment."
"You!" One of the guards was about to lash out when another grabbed him and shook his head.
"The Imperial Advisor said to treat them with courtesy."
After thinking for a moment, the two guards had no choice but to reluctantly join the queue at the back of the line.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding people looked at Doctor Kang with even greater reverence.
