The color of Zixuedan is obviously more correct, which is in line with the word "purple" in "Zixuedan". In comparison, Zixuesan made by Jishidiang appears much darker and should be considered purple-brown.

Doctor Liu looked at the purple snow pill on the plate and raised his eyebrows. "The color of this purple snow pill is like what is mentioned in the ancient books."

As he spoke, he scraped some powder from the Purple Snow Pill with a silver spoon, tasted it, and muttered to himself: "Hanshui stone, talc, rhinoceros horn, antelope horn, costus root..."

To be honest, Doctor Liu was somewhat skeptical about Chu Qianchen's extraordinary medical skills and wondered if his grandson was exaggerating.

He tasted it twice and murmured, "Apart from the sixteen herbs commonly used in Zixue Powder, I didn't taste any other herbs... I don't know what colorless and tasteless herbs the little genius doctor added to make the Zixue Powder so bright in color."

Although Doctor Liu didn't say it directly, the meaning in his words clearly showed that he was somewhat disapproving of Chu Qianchen's actions.

In his opinion, the recipe of Zixuesan was passed down from ancient times. To have been passed down for so many years, each medicinal ingredient must have its own profound meaning. A little girl changed the recipe as she pleased, which showed a lack of respect for the ancient recipe.

Moreover, the efficacy of medicine is of course important. Can making this purple snow pill so bright and beautiful really cure diseases? !

However, this move is in line with the mentality of young girls.

Doctor Liu shook his head slightly, thinking that his grandson still had too little experience. He would take his grandson out to see the world more often in the future.

"Grandfather..." Doctor Liu could see that his grandfather was not convinced by the young doctor and wanted to explain something. In his opinion, the Zixuedan made by the young doctor must be much better than the common Zixuesan on the market!

Unfortunately, before he could explain, he was interrupted by the noise outside.

"Doctor, I want to see a doctor!"

Suddenly, a woman's excited shout was heard on the street outside the clinic.

A man in his thirties, wearing a blue shirt and shorts, walked quickly into the clinic holding a boy of six or seven years old, followed closely by a plump woman.

The woman's face was filled with anxiety, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Doctor, where is the doctor? Please save my Ergou!"

The man placed the boy in his arms on the couch in the front hall. The boy's face turned pale, his eyes rolled up, his hands and feet twitched and spasmed, but his eyes were dull and he had obviously lost consciousness.

Doctor Liu quickly took the boy's pulse.

The woman anxiously asked Doctor Liu and his assistant, "Where is the miracle doctor?"

The woman was very emotional and her voice was a little sharp.

Doctor Liu shook his head, "The miracle doctor is not here..."

"The miracle doctor is not here..." The woman seemed to have lost her soul. "The doctor at Xu's Clinic said that if it was a miracle doctor, there might be hope..."

Doctor Liu looked solemn. He put away his right hand that was probing the patient's pulse and said in a deep voice, "She got an external pathogenic factor that turned into heat inside her body. The extreme heat caused wind. She had an acute convulsion. Her fever is quite high."

The man responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the doctor at Xu's Medical Hall said the same thing."

Convulsions are a common acute disease in children, and are a serious symptom. Therefore, the Dongyi Baojian says: The most dangerous disease in children is convulsions.

The woman quickly added, "My dog ​​had a stomach upset last night and was vomiting and having diarrhea. We thought he would be fine after a night's rest, but he started to have a fever in the middle of the night and it got worse, and his limbs were twitching from time to time..."

Doctor Liu stroked his beard and said, "She has stagnation in the intestine and stomach, phlegm and heat inside, obscuring the pericardium and causing liver wind... Ah Ming, go get the Zixue Powder."

Before Doctor Liu could respond, the woman said excitedly, "It's useless. Doctor Xu also prescribed Zixuesan, and we fed Ergou the medicine, but it made his fever even worse! He also passed out..."

These children are the apple of their mother's eye. As the woman spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and her voice trembled violently. "Doctor Xu said that the most troublesome pediatric disease is convulsions. He can't cure it. Let's come to Jishidiang to find a miracle doctor to try..."

The woman collapsed to the ground, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Old Doctor Liu had no way to refute it. There was a sentence in ancient medical books: "The most serious disease in children is fright."

It is not difficult to diagnose convulsions, but it is difficult to treat them.

This child has a high fever, is in a coma, and is having convulsions. The heat evil has invaded the pericardium. If we cannot clear away the heat and detoxify, and if we cannot open up the orifices and calm the nerves in time, my life is in danger.

At this time, the waiter couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Just because the Zixue Powder from Xu's Medical Hall doesn't work, it doesn't mean that the Zixue Pill from Jishidi Hall doesn't work."

"The Zixuedan of our Jishiditang was made by the miracle doctor himself!"

The guy said this with his head held high, quite proudly.

The two assistants of Jishitang and Doctor Liu had witnessed Chu Qianchen's extraordinary medical skills with their own eyes, and they had almost blind trust in her. The Zixue Pill made by the little genius doctor was naturally far superior to the Zixue Powder, and it must be a miracle drug.

“A miracle doctor?!” The woman who was sitting on the ground suddenly brightened up her dark eyes. “The miracle doctor’s medicine must be a panacea!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Liu came over with a bottle of Zixuedan. "Here comes the Zixuedan!"

"Aming, this is a new medicine that has just been made. It has not been tested yet and is not suitable for use on critically ill patients!" Old Doctor Liu frowned slightly, objecting to his grandson's rash behavior.

This child's convulsions are already a serious illness, so we must be careful at every step. If the wrong medicine is used, once he loses his life, people will not remember that Xu's Medical Hall failed to cure him. They will only think that it was Jishidi that killed him, and the reputation of Jishidi will be ruined.

There is an old saying: A doctor is the master of human destiny, just like a general leading an army, he must make plans before going into battle.

Since human lives are at stake, any new medicine must be carefully tested repeatedly and its efficacy recorded before it can be promoted.

The man in green didn't listen to Doctor Liu at all, and said excitedly: "Young Doctor, it's okay, give this Purple Snow Pill to my Ergou!"

"That's not right," Doctor Liu objected again, "Human life is at stake."

The woman became anxious upon hearing this, and suddenly jumped up like a wild beast and snatched the small porcelain bottle from Doctor Liu's hand in the blink of an eye.

Doctor Liu never expected that she would come to grab it, and before he knew it, his hands were empty.

He knew that the other party was anxious, so he did not lose his temper and said patiently: "Madam, please don't be anxious. Give me the medicine first and I will feed it to your dog."

The woman seemed to be afraid that Doctor Liu would come and snatch it away, so she held the small porcelain bottle tightly in her hand and looked at Doctor Liu warily.

The man in blue protected his wife behind him and said, "If you don't give it to us, we will feed her ourselves!"

The couple finally understood that the old doctor in the clinic was afraid of taking responsibility and did not dare to give the medicine to their son. They had heard with their own ears that this medicine was a miracle cure and they must not let the young doctor take it back, otherwise, the young doctor might be persuaded by the old doctor again.

Doctor Liu was at a loss as to what to do with them. He was afraid that they might feed him the wrong medicine, so he quickly said, "This Zixue Pill is an emergency medicine, so don't use it too much. Considering Ergou's age, three pills are enough for him, twice a day."

The woman held the small bottle of Zixuedan in her hand, paid the medical fee quickly, then took her husband and son and left. She walked very fast, as if she was afraid they would catch up with her.

Old Doctor Liu looked at the backs of the family of three, frowning even more tightly, and scolded his grandson disapprovingly: "A Ming, you are too careless. Why did you let them go like this?"

"Just wait and see. The child's condition might change. They will definitely come back."

The Xu family clinic is good at treating pediatric diseases. Their ancestors had served as imperial physicians in the previous dynasty. If even they couldn't cure acute convulsions, then probably only the Imperial Hospital in the capital could treat it.

Doctor Liu's worries turned into a long sigh.

The weather today is a bit gloomy, with thick clouds covering most of the sky, as if dusk has arrived early.

In the afternoon, it started to rain, and it drizzled continuously.

Doctor Liu was worried, and the couple did not come back until curfew that day.

The next day, they still didn't come.

On the third day, a large group of people swarmed in and surrounded the entrance of Jishiditang.

Doctor Liu recognized at a glance that the two people in the lead were the couple who had come the day before yesterday, and his heart skipped a beat: Oh no, the troublemakers are here again!

In no mood--

"Is Doctor Liu here? We've come here specially to thank you!" Ergou's mother said with a smile.

"Jishitang is really a place that helps people. Doctor, look, my dog ​​is completely healed now!"

As they were talking, an old woman from the back brought over a boy of six or seven years old. The boy's eyes were rolling around and his expression was lively and smart. It was Ergou who was seriously ill and dying the day before yesterday.

Ergou's mother said again: "You are worthy of being a miracle doctor! This Zixue Pill is really magical. After my Ergou took this Zixue Pill, the fever in his body began to subside within an incense stick of time. He woke up an hour later. After taking it for the second time in the evening, the fever was completely gone..."

"My Ergou is the only son in our family for three generations. If you save the child, you will be saving the lives of our entire family!"

The couple politely thanked Dr. Liu repeatedly, looking very grateful.

If Doctor Liu hadn't supported the couple, they would have knelt down and kowtowed.

Looking at this scene, Doctor Liu was stunned.

He quietly called the waiter over and ordered, "Bring a bottle of Zixue here for me to see."

The waiter immediately went to get the Zixuedan. Doctor Liu smelled it and tasted it repeatedly, crushed a pill and looked at it carefully, but he still didn't know what changes the young miracle doctor had made to the ancient recipe of Zixuedan that he could even cure acute convulsions that Xu's Medical Clinic couldn't!

After thanking them politely, Ergou and his family left in a mighty procession, just passing by Amber.

Amber couldn't help but look at the family twice more.

"Miss Amber!" Doctor Liu Xiao came up to her with a smile, "The Purple Snow Pill you sent last time was truly amazing."

He pointed at Er Gouzi's family and said, "Did you see that family? The boy from that family had a seizure the day before yesterday and his life is hanging by a thread..."

Doctor Liu recounted in detail what had happened the day before yesterday, his eyes burning with admiration for the young miracle doctor's abilities even more.

Amber smiled slightly, she was very confident in her girl.

Doctor Liu, who was sitting by the window, looked at Amber with a little surprise.

Amber was wearing a simple willow-colored skirt and had her hair in double buns, the way maids usually do. She had a pretty face and a dignified temperament, and her demeanor was unmatched even by the daughter of a poor family.

The master can be seen by his servant.

Old Doctor Liu has been practicing medicine for many years and has seen countless people. He originally wondered whether the little miracle doctor his grandson was talking about might be the daughter of an imperial physician in the capital, but now he has a vague feeling that he was wrong.

"Little Doctor Liu," Amber said with a smile as she conveyed Chu Qianchen's meaning, "My daughter said that convulsions in children are a common disease. This Zixue Pill is a good medicine for calming nerves and opening the mind. It can also treat fevers such as measles. From now on, Zixue Pill will only be given to Jishitang."

"Miss Amber, please go back and thank your daughter for me." Doctor Liu bowed solemnly with some excitement.

He probably guessed that the little miracle doctor did this because someone smashed Jishidiang because of her a few days ago.

Even though one cannot earn much from the Purple Snow Pill, its efficacy far exceeds that of the Purple Snow Powder, and is enough to spread the reputation of Jishidiang. It won't be long before their Jishidiang becomes one of the best medical clinics in the capital.

From now on, whenever people in the capital mention Zixuedan, they will think of Jishidiang!

Amber did not dare to agree on behalf of Chu Qianchen, but just said that she would report truthfully after returning.

Seeing his grandson chatting with others and even obtaining the exclusive sales rights of the Purple Snow Pill, Old Doctor Liu was still a little confused. He felt that things seemed to be developing in a direction that he could not understand at all...

This miraculous doctor has such ability at such a young age, is he really gifted? Was he born with a gift from his ancestors?

After finishing the job, Amber asked the waiter to get her some herbs for making the Purple Snow Pill, and then left.

When she was carrying the medicine bag out, she almost bumped into the person in front of her. The reckless person holding the baby did not apologize, but rushed to the two doctors like a gust of wind, shouting in panic: "Doctor... Doctor, I heard that you have a magic medicine that can cure infantile convulsions!"

Amber glanced at him and didn't plan to join in the fun. She took the medicine bag to the pastry shop in front, bought two boxes of lotus cakes, and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

She reported to Chu Qianchen everything that happened in Jishidiang today, including how the boy named Ergou was saved.

Chu Qianchen was curled up on the Arhat bed, flipping through a medical book. It was unknown how much he had heard, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Amber was serving her tea. The room was extremely quiet, with only the faint sound of wind blowing through lotus leaves coming from outside the window.

The silence didn't last long before it was broken by a lively voice: "Where's Chu Qianchen?"

The boy's voice was childish, yet carried a sense of arrogance.

Chu Qianchen put down the medical book in his hand, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up, revealing a pair of shallow dimples on his cheeks.

Amber hurried out and personally welcomed the little ancestor in.

After a while, Chu Yunmu, wearing a royal blue robe with a crane pattern, came striding over, looking very heroic and high-spirited.

After a month and a half of recuperation, his legs were finally able to walk, but Chu Qianchen did not allow him to run, walk too fast, or walk too far.

Although there are many restrictions, for Chu Yunmu who has been trapped for so long, it is already happiness enough. He feels the joy of finally seeing the moon after the clouds have cleared.

He, Mr. Chu Si, finally regained his freedom!

"Chu Qianchen!" Chu Yunmu climbed onto the Arhat bed and said with a grin, "I brought you some snacks!"

"My mother asked someone to go to Baiweiju to buy this rose honey cake today. It's delicious!"

He looked at Chu Qianchen with a smile, his eyebrows curved, and he was almost saying, "Praise me, praise me quickly."

Chu Qianchen habitually raised his hand to rub Chu Yunmu's head, but was grabbed by Chu Yunmu.

"Don't rub my head. You can't rub a boy's head! He won't grow taller!" Chu Yunmu said confidently.

Since he couldn't rub his head, Chu Qianchen settled for the next best thing and tapped Chu Yunmu's brow with his finger, "You're young, but you have a lot of rules."

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Chu Qianchen saw through Chu Yunmu at a glance.

This guy obviously doesn't come here for no reason.

Chu Yunmu chuckled, hooked Chu Qianchen's little finger with her little finger, shook it coquettishly and said, "Second sister, in a few days, can you take me out to watch the fun?"

If he goes out alone with guards, mother will definitely not allow it, but if Chu Qianchen is willing to take him with him, mother will definitely agree!

Chu Yunmu looked at Chu Qianchen eagerly, his eyes sparkling like glowing gems.

Chu Qianchen: “…”

Thinking that Chu Qianchen was hesitating, Chu Yunmu quickly threw out the bait, trying to tempt Chu Qianchen: "Second sister, have you heard? Next month is the Wanshou Festival, so in the next two days, foreign countries have been coming to the capital to pay tribute. The capital is very lively now!"

"I heard that those foreigners look different from us. Some of them have blue eyes, green eyes, high noses, and very deep eye sockets..."

"And more, they will also bring their rare treasures. You've never seen a camel, have you? I heard that some tribes in the northwest use camels as mounts!"

"I heard that some foreign merchants will come to Beijing with the tribute team. By then, the market in the capital will definitely be very lively."

“…”

Chu Yunmu racked his brains to speak, trying to seduce Chu Qianchen to take him out to play.

Chu Qianchen smiled, resisted the urge to rub his head, shook his little finger, and simply agreed: "Okay."

Chu Yunmu thought that he would have to spend some more time to convince Chu Qianchen, but he didn't expect Chu Qianchen to agree so readily.

Chu Yunmu was so happy that her eyes narrowed as she smiled, and she said happily, "Second sister, you are so nice!"

Chu Qianchen winked at Amber, who immediately opened the snacks that Chu Yunmu had brought, made a pot of scented tea, and told the maid to squeeze pomegranate juice.

After a while, Chu Yunmu took a bite of rose honey cake and a sip of pomegranate juice with satisfaction, which was extremely delicious.

"Second sister, what did you add to the pomegranate juice here?" Chu Yunmu drank a glass and asked Amber to pour him another glass. He found it sour, sweet and refreshing.

He was sure it wasn't honey!

Chu Yunmu licked his lips, looking like a greedy cat.

"I added some watermelon juice." Chu Qianchen said with a smile, "If you like it, I'll have someone squeeze a pot of it tonight, put it in well water to chill it, and send it to you tomorrow morning. It will definitely taste better!"

Chu Yunmu's eyes brightened and he nodded.

He took out a small green thing from his sleeve, stuffed it into Chu Qianchen's hand, and whispered in her ear: "Here, we have one each. Even my eldest sister doesn't have one!"

It was a small straw puppy, squatting with its head raised high and a fluffy tail sticking up behind it.

Chu Qianchen took the straw-woven puppy in his hand and played with it for a while, then praised it casually: "It's really well woven."

The dog's tail behind Chu Yunmu immediately stood up proudly, and he said smugly: "I made it, of course it's good!"

"I made this based on my night shadow. Doesn't it look similar?"

Yeying is a black greyhound raised by Chu Yunmu. It was given to him by his cousin from the Shen family. Yeying is only six months old. Before Chu Yunmu was injured, he played with the little greyhound in the mansion almost every day, chasing cats and playing with birds.

Chu Qianchen nodded cooperatively, "Similar, very similar!"

"If there were black grass, it would definitely look more like it!" Chu Yunmu was even more proud. "How about I make a green parrot for you?"

In the past month and a half, Chu Yunmu had hardly been to the fields in order to take care of his legs. He was so bored that he could only ask his maid to read to him, play with the Luban lock, and learn straw weaving.

Chu Yunmu became interested, so he told the maid to go back and get cattails. He enthusiastically made several small gadgets for Chu Qianchen and placed them on the desk.

Before lunch, Chu Qianchen personally sent Chu Yunmu back to the main courtyard.

As soon as the brother and sister entered the main hall, they heard the clear voice of a young girl coming from the left side room: "...The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is a mirror. The mirror is pure by nature, how can it be stained by dust!"

Chu Yunmu tugged at Chu Qianchen's sleeve, and Chu Qianchen stopped and looked down at him.

He tilted his little face up and waved to Chu Qianchen with his hand. Chu Qianchen leaned closer to him and heard the little fellow whisper in his ear, "Mother recently asked my eldest sister to come back and live with us. She is asked to recite and copy Buddhist scriptures every day."

Chu Yunmu could not hide the sympathy on his little face. If he were asked to recite Buddhist scriptures, he would definitely be overwhelmed... no, it should be said that he would feel drowsy.

Chu Yunmu patted his chest, secretly thanking his lucky stars that he had been obedient when he was recovering from his leg injury, and his mother didn't control him so much.

The maid opened the Xiangfei curtain for the brother and sister in front, and Chu Yunmu and Chu Qianchen entered the east room one after another.

Chu Qianhuang sat upright in front of a large mahogany desk by the window, reading a Buddhist scripture and twisting a string of sandalwood beads in her hand. Next to her was a three-legged incense burner, and a burst of sandalwood was spreading in the air along with the rising green smoke.

"Brother Mu, Sister Chen, come here quickly!" Shen, who was sitting on the Arhat bed, waved to the brother and sister.

After they sat down, Shen asked Chu Yunmu about his homework: "Brother Mu, have you finished your homework today?"

The male children of the Marquisate had to start learning at the age of five and go to the clan school, and Chu Yunmu was no exception. Even when he was recovering from his leg injury, he did not miss any lessons he was supposed to study. Shen came to teach him and check his homework every day. Half a month ago, he was able to walk on crutches and went back to the clan school to attend classes.

Chu Yunmu: "..."

Chu Yunmu's eyes hesitated guiltily.

Today, he heard the news in the clan school that foreigners were going to come to Beijing. As soon as school was over, he hurried to find Chu Qianchen, trying to persuade her to take him out to play. He had completely forgotten the homework assigned by the teacher.

Chu Qianchen saw through the little guy's guilty conscience at a glance, and smiled and changed the subject for him: "Mother, the clan will be on holiday tomorrow, I want to take Brother Mu out to play, I heard that some foreigners are coming to the capital to pay tribute, it's quite lively."

Chu Yunmu quickly said, "Mother, I will definitely listen to what Second Sister Chu says. Just let us go and see the fun!"

Chu Yunmu opened his pair of clear black and white eyes and looked at Shen without blinking.

At this time, Chu Qianhuang stopped chanting. Her left hand was still twisting the rosary, and her right hand was turning a page of the Buddhist scriptures.

As she turned the page, she quickly glanced in the direction of Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunmu, a strange look flashed across her eyes, and she continued to read as if nothing had happened: "The nature of the world is inherently pure, and all things are in one's nature..."

Of course Shen knew that Chu Qianchen was trying to change the subject for Chu Yunmu, and she felt amused.

She pretended to be ignorant and deliberately asked Chu Yunmu, "Will you listen to your second sister?"

"Of course!" Chu Yunmu nodded desperately, "I always listen to my second sister! If my second sister tells me to go east, I dare not go west."

Chu Yunmu said this without feeling guilty at all. He felt that he was indeed very obedient. In the past month and a half, he did whatever Chu Qianchen asked him to do.

Shen raised the corner of her lips, rubbed her son's head and said, "Then you have signed a military order."

The implication is agreement.

"Mom, don't worry!" Chu Yunmu was so happy that he didn't care about Shen rubbing his head.

Chu Qianchen couldn't help but laugh.

The atmosphere is harmonious and joyful.

Only Chu Qianhuang lowered her head slightly, and the nail of her left thumb scratched the tender fingertips fiercely, leaving a bloody scratch mark.
