In his previous life, Gu Jinzhi's medical career spanned more than 40 years and he had experience in medicine all over the world.

Wind chill can indeed cause hoarseness.

But some people can't make any sound at all. This is a special case of aphonia.

In more than 40 years of medical practice, Gu Jinzhi has seen three cases, and her grandfather has also seen four cases. There are also three cases recorded in the scriptures left by Gu's ancestors.

The treatment method is different for each case.

Xiao Qinglong Tang is the most commonly used method recorded in Treatise on Febrile Diseases. Other methods are just to increase the amount of Xiao Qinglong Tang.

With this said, Gu Jinzhi knew about ten treatment prescriptions.

"In the two cases that Imperial Physician Qin was optimistic about, Xiaoqinglong Decoction was used in both cases, and there was no increase or decrease?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

Qin Shensi didn't know why. He was familiar with Treatise on Febrile Diseases and took the essence.

He nodded.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said nothing more, but thought to himself, well, what a blessing.

"But...is there something wrong?" Qin Shensi was confused by Gu Jinzhi's smile and felt unsure, "Miss Qi, have you gone astray?"

He followed the original prescription for treating typhoid fever, and the dosage of any medicine was never increased or decreased.

If he had to be forced to increase or decrease, he wouldn't dare because he wasn't sure.

He was not careless at first, but the patient at hand made him confused.

The patient and his servant came from the south. They said they were going to the capital to visit relatives, but they were not in a hurry. They stayed in an ordinary inn, cured their illness, and then continued on their way.

Judging from their appearance, their clothes were deliberately simple, but there was a hundred taels of silver in their hands, which was generous and cheerful.

This kind of person, whose identity is unknown, is the worst person to offend.

Qin Shensi had already received one hundred taels from him, and now he didn't dare to go back, for fear of ruining his brand and reputation. As a doctor, reputation is your life.

Look, the old man of the Xia family was dismissed because of a mistake. Now ordinary people no longer go to the Xia family's Baicao Hall, and they all say that the Xia family's medical skills are not as good as those of a child.

Those people didn't even know what was going on, let alone that "not as good as a child" was not just a conventional curse, but that there really was such a powerful "child".

Even if you don't know the truth, you just follow what others say. This is the reputation of doctors.

All the gentlemen sitting in the Xia Family Baicao Hall resigned themselves.

Sooner or later, Baicao Hall will close down.

Qin Shensi was not only afraid of losing his reputation like the Xia family, but he was also afraid that the origin of the patient was unknown. If he really had a big background, offending him would not only damage his reputation, but might also cost his life.

When he was an imperial physician, he saw many dignitaries, like the patient. Although he couldn't speak, he had a good manner.

Even the servants around him spoke well and behaved like great scholars. Qin Shensi's medicine never worked, and their masters and servants didn't speak impatiently. They just advised him to take his time and think of other ways.

Normal people would scold them, but this pair of master and servant didn’t show any displeasure at all...

Qin Shensi really didn't dare to say what he did for this kind of person, he only knew that he couldn't offend him.

"No, no!" Gu Jinzhi smiled, "I haven't been to that patient either. I don't know the condition, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

"It's easy to meet the patient there." Qin Shensi said hurriedly, "I just wonder if the seventh lady can give me a favor?"

While he was speaking, he glanced at Gu Yanzhen, who was sitting with him.

Gu Yanzhen also looked at Gu Jinzhi's face.

She was as usual, with handsome features, a pure smile, and a small face. She still looked like a baby when she smiled. But her calmness and confidence, as well as her maturity and ability, made Gu Yanzhen a little dazed.

The old man is not at home and Gu Jinzhi has no one to ask for advice. Can she really cure the disease?

The reputation that a child has finally accumulated cannot be ruined, right?

Even if it is false, it is worth it if the child is happy...

So, let him be the father for this evil person.

"Physician Qin, don't you Xinglin always say that you can't make medical appointments before you are a doctor?" Gu Yanzhen said, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, "Our sister Jin has not been a doctor..."

He had no choice but to say this again.

He vaguely remembered that he had said several times that Gu Jinzhi had not yet left the army and was not worthy of trust.

Although it is the truth, it doesn't sound good. Loyalty is harsh to the ears. Will the daughter feel that her father doesn't love her?

Gu Yanzhen was a little worried and looked at Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi was not disappointed, she smiled brightly, stood up and took Gu Yanzhen's hand, saying: "Dad, I haven't been out for a long time... I haven't been to see the Baicao Hall of Imperial Physician Qin when it opened. Let's take a look, but

good?"

Her eyes are so clear that they can reflect the silhouette of a person.

His expression was full of longing.

Gu Yanzhen was the most soft-hearted. Seeing that Qin Shensi was sincere in his request, Gu Jinzhi wanted to go again, so he had to agree. He thought to himself that if Gu Jinzhi liked the princess, even if she was wrong, Qin Shensi would hide it.

Two right?

After all, behind Gu Jinzhi is Mr. Gu, and it is Mr. Gu that Qin Shensi fawns over.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhen felt more at ease.

He said to Qin Shensi: "The imperial doctor of Qin will sit down for a moment and allow us to change our clothes."

Qin Shensi stood up quickly, bowed and thanked him.

Two quarters of an hour later, a carriage with a red wheel and a canopy drove out slowly, followed by another carriage with a canopy, heading straight for Qin's Baicaotang on Nanmen Street.

Gu Yanzhen was vaguely worried, and he told Gu Jinzhi: "Sister Jin, if you talk too much, you will be wrong. You are just a child. When the time comes, you can find any excuse and we will come back."

Then he added, "You are now studying medicine with your grandfather. If you cannot cure the disease, others will doubt your grandfather. Do you want others to say that your grandfather is a mediocre person?"

He was coaxed and frightened, fearing that Gu Jinzhi would make a joke for himself just to stand out.

"I know!" Gu Jinzhi said crisply, like a child.

Her father treated her like a child, so she answered in a child's tone.

Gu Yanzhen was very satisfied and said that Sister Jin was so good.

Qin Shensi's carriage took a shortcut and returned to Baicao Hall first.

He ordered the waiter's medicine boy to invite the guest, and prepared tea to receive Gu Jinzhi's father and daughter.

When Gu Jinzhi and Gu Yanzhen's carriage arrived, Qin Shensi was waiting at the door in person.

Gu Yanzhen got off the carriage and turned around to hug her daughter.

The father and daughter entered Qin's Baicao Hall.

Qin's Baicaotang is a street-facing shop with three entrances. The doors are wide open. There are two gentlemen sitting in the lobby, a shopkeeper, and several little medicine boys who also serve as waiters. People come and go in the lobby, and business is booming.

Behind the counter, there is a tall medicine cabinet, which reaches the roof and is at least three people high. There are a dazzling array of drawers on the medicine cabinet, and the names of the medicinal materials are engraved on the drawers with bronze plates.

The shopkeeper and the clerk took the prescription from the gentleman sitting in the hall, and took the medicine from the drawer of the medicine cabinet in a continuous stream.

When the drawer is opened, the fragrance overflows.

Gu Jinzhi took a breath, the smell was so familiar.

She hasn't been to a drug store for a long time.

Gu Yanzhen was a little sad: Their family used to have a drug store, which was more luxurious than this one, and the business was better than this one. If the second brother hadn't always been greedy for the drug store's private accounts, his father would not have closed the drug store...

While thinking, Qin Shensi lifted up the silver-red soft curtain on the west side and invited Gu Jinzhi and Gu Yanzhen into the inner room to talk.

"Wait a moment, the waiter has already gone to fetch the patient." Qin Shensi personally served tea to Gu Yanzhen and Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi stood up quickly and took it in his hand.

"This drug store is very prosperous," Gu Jinzhi said.

"It's all thanks to the princess." Qin Shensi said with a smile. There was also some pride in his brows.

After about a quarter of an hour, the waiter came in and said that the patient had arrived.

Qin Shensi personally welcomed him out.

Then, the soft curtain was lifted, and Gu Jinzhi saw a young face.

The person who came here was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a plump face, thick eyebrows, bright eyes, a high bridge of nose, and a faint smile on his thin lips. He was a very handsome young man.

Behind him, followed an old man, about fifty years old, wearing a patched green shirt, but it looked comfortable. He was neatly dressed, clean and meticulous.

"This is Mr. Chen." Qin Shensi introduced Gu Yanzhen and Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Yanzhen and his daughter got up and met Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen smiled, with neat teeth, curved eyes, and a graceful and handsome smile.

Unable to speak, he returned the gift.

After sitting down with each other, Qin Shensi said to Mr. Chen: "Mr. Chen, I am incompetent. I have been treating you for more than ten days but I still can't cure your illness..."

Mr. Chen waved his hands and smiled again.

The old man next to him said: "My young master said you don't need to worry about it. He trusts Imperial Physician Qin very much. Please be sure to find a good prescription..."

Mr. Chen nodded and confirmed what the old man said.

Qin Shen looked ashamed on all sides.

These days, I thought that Mr. Chen and the old man had always had such a tolerant attitude, which made Qin Shensi unable to advance or retreat.

"...I'm not very good at my studies." Qin Shen said, "However, my mentor is a world-famous miracle doctor. This is my mentor's granddaughter and my only closed-door disciple. If Mr. Chen trusts me, can he?

Would you like Miss Gu to take your pulse?"

After Qin Shensi finished speaking, he pointed his hand at Gu Jinzhi.

The eyes of Mr. Chen and the servant fell on Gu Jinzhi.

A little girl with buns in a bun, her complexion still fresh, about ten years old. She had delicate features and a calm demeanor, looking back at the master and servant.

Mr. Chen was very well-mannered, so he frowned slightly.

The servant even showed a surprised expression.

"Physician Qin..." The servant was embarrassed and turned to look at Qin Shensi, "Ahem, Miss Gu is young, has she left the profession?"

"Although Miss Gu is young, she is smart. She inherited her family's education and is very capable!" Qin Shensi said with an air of honor, "Uncle Chen, since ancient times, heroes have emerged from young..."

He said it very confidently and proudly, and it didn't look like he was trying to get people to make up for his claims.

Uncle Chen's frown deepened.

Mr. Chen gently touched Uncle Chen's arm and nodded slightly.

He agreed to let Miss Gu see it.

Although Uncle Chen frowned, he did not dare to refute and said respectfully.

He looked very respectful.
