Banxia faltered, "A new doctor has come?"
"Yes, aren’t you tired?"
Tired indeed, but hearing that a new doctor had arrived, Banxia was still somewhat displeased.
Gu Youyou saw this and understood very well in her heart.
To her, someone who was there to snatch away her rice bowl had come, how could she be happy about it?
Today, when they opened the doors, there was no bustle outside, everyone was standing orderly, but all eyes were fixated on the person standing in the front, their hearts already filled with both joy and fear.
If not for the two knife-wielding guards looking fearsome behind him, surely many women would’ve found it difficult to resist throwing themselves at him.
This was the Princely Heir, unparalleled in handsomeness, as if a celestial being from the moon itself.
Oh my, was the Princely Heir also ill? Was the Princely Heir seeking treatment from Doctor Gu as well?
No one knew, they only saw him walk inside, and with a wave of his hand toward the two guards, they transformed into Jisheng Hall’s door gods, standing on either side.
Gu Youyou knew he would come and said, "Have you already discussed it with your senior brother?"
Yue Rujing’s expression stiffened slightly, and he gave a dry laugh, "Doctor Gu is truly farsighted and astute."
"I’ve made up my mind, in your words... I’ll invest and become half a boss."
Gu Youyou smiled and said, "That’s exactly what I was thinking, I was planning to order a batch of advanced equipment to set up a processing factory for medicinal herbs, but I’m short of silver."
Yue Rujing looked back and said, "There are quite a few people, let’s start the consultation first, we can talk afterward."
"Sure thing, Doctor Yue, this way please!"
Banxia had already arranged a consultation table for him.
Both doctors had taken their seats while the patients and Banxia were so astonished they couldn’t speak.
"What does this mean?"
"It’s pretty clear now, isn’t it? The Princely Heir didn’t come to be a patient, he is the doctor."
"So the Princely Heir is a doctor too?"
"This... I’m absolutely flattered to be treated by the Princely Heir, but does he... know how to treat patients?"
Gu Youyou glanced at Yue Rujing and said with a smile to everyone, "We were taught by the same master, my junior brother."
The entire room erupted into an uproar.
"So it turns out, Doctor Gu is the Princely Heir’s senior sister."
"The Princely Heir has been traveling abroad for years; he went out to study medical skills."
"Ah, it must be fine then, Doctor Gu is so remarkable, her junior brother surely won’t be far behind."
"Right, right, let’s get in line!"
Banxia stood there, stunned.
Oh my, so the Princely Heir and Sister Youyou were from the same sect.
With one more person seeing patients, they managed to finish before the sun went down.
Thankfully, even in ancient times, the population density in the cities was not high and the overall population wasn’t that great, so there were not many people sick enough to need consultation.
The most important thing, though, was that both Gu Youyou and Yue Rujing were quite efficient.
Today, Jin Zijin knew that Yue Rujing was coming, so he also came back early.
After work, they sat together discussing the plans for expansion.
The proposal by Gu Youyou to add some kind of medicinal herb processing plant baffled them, and Yue Rujing asked, "Do you mean to process the medicinal herbs directly into medicines suited for various diseases, is that appropriate?"
"Why wouldn’t it be appropriate, Banxia, bring the samples we’ve made for them to see."
"Okay, Sister Youyou!"
Banxia swiftly brought out a large box, all of which they had concocted in the backyard.
Gu Youyou took out a paper packet and said, "Here, take a look. If a patient is diagnosed with a cold caused by wind-chill, then they take this. I’ve written everything on it, including different dosages for children and adults. If it’s a cough, add this, and likewise, how to take it is written here."
Gu Youyou then took out another packet.
Yue Rujing looked at Gu Youyou skeptically, then opened it to look inside.
