Su Fenglan looked at Su Jiudong silently, and did not step forward to chase Shao Yuemei.

After being silent for a long time, Su Jiudong endured the sourness in his heart and asked, "...... Daddy, did you intend to continue the strings? ”

Su Fenglan shook his head, and the smile on his lips was fleeting: "I have no intention of continuing the strings." The reason why I left you Aunt Yuemei is just to take care of the rest of the family for my dead brother. As early as after Ruoyao left, my heart also followed her. ”

"I know you don't like your Aunt Yuemei, and I won't have too much contact with her in the future. You don't have to be so sensitive and critical of her all the time. In the future, we will live together, and you don't have to be too ruthless. ”

Su Fenglan replied clearly and clearly, his eyes were full of affection when he mentioned Yu Ruoyao, and he regained his calm and self-control when he mentioned Shao Yuemei. However, Su Jiudong questioned Su Fenglan's words for the first time.

The father and daughter parted unhappily for the first time, Su Fenglan was full of grievances and helplessness, and Su Jiudong was full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

On the way back to Qinghui Garden, Su Jiudong, who had an indifferent expression, asked Rumo, who was walking on the right side of the back: "Do you think I've done too much?" Daddy has no one by his side, and he has been lonely all his life. I was selfish and couldn't tolerate someone to take care of him. ”

"Although the slave maid has not been with Miss for a long time, she also knows that Miss is not that ruthless person." Rumo boldly said his guess: "Maybe the young lady sensed in her heart that the Shao family was not the general's beloved, so she didn't want the general and the Shao family to be together." ”

"Maybe..."Su Jiudong sighed, changed the topic and asked about the Renshu Hall: "I haven't been to the Renshu Hall for the past few days. I'm not here today, is there anyone from Renshu Hall coming to me? ”

"Yes, yes! The shopkeeper of Renshutang sent a shopkeeper to the house to deliver a message, saying that there was good news to be told, and asked the young lady to go to Renshutang tomorrow to see the good news with her own eyes. ”

"What kind of good news can you see with your own eyes?" Su Jiudong smiled just now, thinking in his heart whether his previous plan would work, so the so-called "good news" followed.

Su Jiudong got up early in the morning and was busy making medicinal food for Su Fenglan, Su Ting'an and Ah Rong, and didn't make time to rush to Renshu Hall until noon.

In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Su Jiudong or Qiao Zhuang took on the appearance of a man and entered through the back door of Renshu Hall.

When a guy in the store saw Su Jiudong's man's costume for the first time, he was amazed for a while, and then he realized that Su Jiudong was the owner, so he went to the front shop and called the shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang was overjoyed when he saw Su Jiudong: "The owner, I don't know what's going on, the business in the restaurant has gradually improved in the past few days." Before the shop closed last night, there were still small servants in the small mansion who came to the shop to book today's medicinal food, for fear that there would be no place if they were late. ”

"Shopkeeper Wang, it turns out that this is the good news you are talking about." Su Jiudong also smiled.

"And that's not all." The shopkeeper Wang quietly opened the curtain of the restaurant and said happily: "Please take a look at the shop in the front yard." ”

Su Jiudong glanced at the shop in the front yard along the direction of the shopkeeper Wang, the front hall was deserted and crowded on weekdays, but it was full of guests, it was lunch time, and the shop guys and the front and back of the running hall were busy greeting guests.

"I didn't expect it to spread so quickly in a short period of time... It seems that my ploy has worked. Su Jiudong put down the curtain with satisfaction, and walked back to the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stacked in the backyard to inspect it.

Shopkeeper Wang followed behind Su Jiudong step by step, and said curiously: "Owner, please give me advice, what kind of strategy is it to go, so that so many guests can suddenly visit our restaurant?" ”

Su Jiudong saw that the guys in the backyard were busy going to their own places, so he lowered his voice and said to me: "Remember, I originally asked you to add intact medicinal materials to the moldy medicinal herbs that were about to be discarded?" That's my plan. ”

"Originally, I was at the gate of the backyard and found that Dr. Fang was picking up the moldy herbs we had thrown away. Dr. Fang couldn't afford to buy many good medicines, so he could only pick up medicinal materials that could still be used in the moldy herbs. ”

"I deliberately asked you to add intact herbs to the moldy herbs you threw away, just so that they could pick up those good herbs."

The shopkeeper Wang didn't know why, so he could only mess around: "The owner deliberately gave medicinal herbs to those doctors who went to the square, is this planning to do good deeds and accumulate virtue?" ”

Su Jiudong saw that the shopkeeper didn't understand the point, so he continued to explain: "I did this to make those doctors think that our Renshu Hall uses good medicinal materials. Since there are too many good medicinal materials at home to be used up, they can only throw them out every few days. ”

"Those who go to the streets and alleys to treat the people will definitely not be able to help but tell people about the origin of these medicinal materials. Even if they don't tell the healing guests, they will be known by others during their casual conversations, and all the herbs used in my Renshutang are good. ”

"It is naturally better for them and the people to spread the word of mouth than for us to make people convincing through our own signboards."

The shopkeeper suddenly realized, and then praised: "I didn't expect the owner to have such intentions, it's really wonderful!" Originally, the old man regretted that it was a pity that such a good medicinal material was thrown away, but he didn't expect it to be the owner's special layout... It's the old man who is limited. ”

"Now that our Renshutang has spread its reputation for using good medicinal herbs to make medicinal food, Renshutang's business has improved, and the number of customers who come to the shop has gradually increased. I don't think there will be any extra herbs thrown away. "Wonderful book

The more the shopkeeper Wang talked, the happier he became, and the joyful smile between his eyebrows and eyes was flying.

Su Jiudong restrained his joy, and Zhengse told the king's shopkeeper:

"Although the signboard and reputation of our Renshutang have been played, we should not take it lightly in the future. Although we are making medicinal food, we still have to insist on using really good medicinal materials, and we must not use some fake medicinal materials and cheap medicinal materials cheaply, and smash our own signboards. ”

Shopkeeper Wang nodded solemnly, and Su Jiudong asked him to go to the director of the front hall shop.

Now that Renshutang is well-known in Dongshi, Su Jiudong needs to concentrate on treating the imperial concubine, so he has full authority to hand over Renshutang to the king's shopkeeper to take care of, and no longer frequently goes in and out of Renshutang, only occasionally comes to the backyard to inspect.

Four days passed in a flash.

Four days later, Yun Muyou set off from the Ten Princes' Mansion and deliberately drove the royal rich and luxurious carriage to stop at the General's Mansion to take Su Jiudong into the palace for treatment.

The hierarchy in the palace is strict, the imperial doctor only treats the disease today, and the rest of the people can only invite the imperial doctor, and only the concubines above the concubine level and the title are qualified to let the imperial doctor diagnose the pulse, so there are not many people in the harem who can contact the imperial doctor.

Since Su Jiudong was not the imperial doctor or imperial doctor of the Imperial Medical Bureau, but an outsider invited by the imperial concubine from outside the palace, the steps for her to diagnose and treat the imperial concubine were much more cumbersome than usual, and the entire diagnosis process was also very strict and harsh.

Su Jiudong did not go to Bixiao Palace with Yun Muyou, but first went to the Imperial Medical Bureau to investigate the case records of the imperial concubine.

The imperial doctors and doctors of the Tai Hospital are very old, and they are all recommended to enter the palace from various places, and they have profound theoretical and practical experience, so the imperial doctor Qian who came to receive Su Jiudong was slightly dissatisfied with Su Jiudong, a "fledgling" novice.

"You must be Miss Jiudong, right? It is said that you were lucky enough to cure a strange illness on the day of the birthday banquet of the saint, and it seems that there is something extraordinary, and even the imperial concubine specially invited you to the palace for diagnosis and treatment. ”

Su Jiudong restrained his expression, and said calmly and modestly: "The little female doctor's skills are still shallow, so naturally she can't compare to the imperial doctors and imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau. ”

This arrogant posture of Imperial Physician Qian had been encountered by Su Jiudong when he was an intern at the former advanced doctor, so he was not surprised, and he was not too trembling, but followed behind Imperial Physician Qian without being humble or arrogant, and the etiquette rules were very in place.

Doctor Qian slowed down, "Miss Jiudong's medical skills are extraordinary, but I don't know where to learn?" ”

Su Jiudong cured Mrs. Li Shaoqing's convulsion, and cured Feng Yingying's little cousin's convulsions with a pair of "loess prescriptions", so the imperial doctors and doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau have heard of Su Jiudong.

Since everyone knows that Miss Jiudong from the General's Mansion was found in a small mountain village, there is no medical school in the small mountain village, and she can't afford to study medicine.

Therefore, Su Jiudong could not directly answer the knowledge she learned in medical school, which did not match her "widely known" identity, so Su Jiudong could only make it up.

"The little girl was originally interested in self-study, but then she met a visiting doctor, and after only learning a rough idea, the doctor left. He didn't mention my mentorship, so the little girl doesn't have a mentor at the moment. ”

"In the beginning, it was purely hobby and self-taught? That shows that there is still some wisdom and talent. Imperial Doctor Qian nodded, and then asked: "The old man heard that Miss Jiudong has treated several strange diseases in different departments, dare to ask how many subjects Miss Jiudong has studied?" ”

The imperial doctor in the Taiyi Bureau saw that Su Jiudong could cure some strange diseases, so he classified her as a "general practitioner".

Most of the folk doctors face the common people, and they have to deal with a variety of diseases, and they need to prescribe different treatment plans and prescriptions according to different conditions.

The imperial doctors and the imperial doctors in the Taiyi Bureau have different divisions of labor and different specialties, so they are more similar to specialist research, often using top-secret prescriptions passed down from their fathers to treat all diseases.

Su Jiudong replied calmly: "The little girl has a little bit of each subject, so it can't be counted as a subject yet." It's just that the main ones are medicinal materials, and acupuncture and medicinal diet are also in self-study. ”

Seeing that Su Jiudong's answer was still polite, Imperial Doctor Qian didn't have the idea of making things difficult earlier, and directly led Su Jiudong to check the imperial concubine's medical records.

The imperial concubine has been suffering from eye disease for more than a year and has not been able to cure it. On weekdays, I rely on medication to maintain it, and I can only slightly suppress the symptoms of red and teary eyes after taking medicine. But this move only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, and what the imperial concubine wants is naturally to cure this strange red-eyed tearing disease.

Su Jiudong and Imperial Physician Qian conducted a preliminary analysis and discussion of the imperial concubine's condition, and finally followed behind Imperial Physician Qian, accompanied by the eunuchs of the Inner Officials, the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau, and the eunuchs on duty and the old women in the palace to Bixiao Palace to meet the imperial concubine.

The rules in the palace are cumbersome, and naturally they are not easy to compare with the officials outside the palace, so Su Jiudong worked hard for two hours in the morning before finally seeing the imperial concubine.
