Chapter 153: Brother Jiu’s Gentleness

On the other hand, Yu Feng had been standing obediently in line outside Baozhi Hall. He did not know that his sister had been shocked again. There were a total of three doctors in Baozhi Hall, and two of them had gone out to treat patients. This was also why the line was so long.

Fortunately, the person who stayed behind to do the consultation was the old doctor that Yu Feng and Yu Wan had consulted before the New Year. The old doctor looked at the illness carefully, which made it even more difficult to move the team.

Yu Feng originally estimated that it would be their turn in the afternoon, but now he was not so sure.

Just as Yu Feng was prepared to wait for the sky to turn dark, a carriage suddenly stopped outside Baozhi Hall. Two doctors in their forties or fifties walked down with medical boxes.

The two of them entered the Baozhi Hall.

Yu Feng thought to himself, Could it be the two doctors that went out to treat patients?

Soon, a shop assistant walked out and shouted to everyone, “Alright, alright! Come over! Doctor Ji isn’t doing consultation anymore. Imper… Cough, Doctor Zhang and Doctor Liang will continue to treat everyone.”

“Eh? Aren’t your doctors from Baozhi Hall surnamed Li and Yang? Where did these two doctors come from?”

A patient who had been to Baozhi Hall several times spoke in confusion.

The shop assistant cleared his throat and said, “It’s the new doctor. His medical skills are not inferior to Doctor Li, Doctor Yang, and Doctor Ji!”

“We want Doctor Ji!” The patient tried to incite everyone.

The shop assistant’s face darkened. “Then wait! Doctor Ji has finished his consultation today. You can come back tomorrow! Doctor Zhang and Doctor Liang specially came to treat everyone. The two doctors said that they won’t take a single cent…”

Before the shop assistant could finish speaking, everyone went to line up at the two doctors’ tables!

Yu Feng wanted to go too, but the shop assistant stopped him. “Doctor Ji can still see the last one. Come over!”

Yu Feng : “…” Should he say he was lucky?

The troublemaking patient squeezed over. “Me, me, me, me! I’m in front of him!”

The shop assistant said coldly, “Go away.”

Yu Feng did not have many twists and turns in his mind. Since the shop assistant asked him to look for Doctor Ji, he really went to the carriage to help his father over.

The father and son were led into a separate room by the shop assistant. Doctor Ji was already waiting. When he saw Yu Feng, he actually recognized him. “It’s you, young man.”

Yu Feng was surprised. “Doctor Ji, you remember me?”

Doctor Ji said pleasantly, “You came with your sister. I asked you to come over after the New Year. Why did you drag it out until today?”

Yu Feng said embarrassedly, “I should have come earlier. I had something on at home and was delayed.”

Doctor Ji pointed at the stool opposite him. “Sit.”

Uncle sat down.

Doctor Ji was sixty years old this year. His hair and beard had turned white, but he was still energetic. He was not from the Capital, and his uncle was from the same hometown as the owner of Baozhi Hall. After he retired from the military camp, he asked the owner of Baozhi Hall to invite him over.

He had treated most of the injured in the military camp, so he was quite good at treating injuries. Seeing that his uncle was sitting on pins and needles, he said kindly, “Don’t be nervous first. Let me take a look at your leg.”

Yu Feng squatted down and rolled up Uncle’s pants.

Doctor Ji took a rough look and pinched Uncle’s knee and leg bone with his thin fingers. “Does it hurt?”

Uncle nodded.

“Lie down and let me take a look.” Doctor Ji pointed at the bed in the room.

Yu Feng helped his father lie down.

Doctor Ji looked at it very carefully and asked Uncle when he was injured and what treatment he had received. He even went through every prescription meticulously.

In the past two years, Yu Feng had gone around seeking treatment, but there were very few who were as careful as Doctor Ji. Yu Feng couldn’t help but have a trace of hope in his heart. “Doctor Ji, can my father’s leg be cured? ”

Doctor Ji stroked his white beard. “I took over a similar patient in the military camp back then. I couldn’t treat him.”

Yu Feng’s expression changed.

Doctor Ji continued, “But a divine doctor who passed by cured him. I remember the prescription he used back then, and I also remember his acupuncture. The only difference is that that person was injured for a shorter time than your father. Your father was injured for two years, but he was injured for less than a year.”

Yu Feng’s heart, which had finally settled down, rose to his throat again. “Then… can it be treated?”

Doctor Ji said, “Although it can’t be said to be foolproof, it’s worth a try.”

Try? Upon hearing this word, the father and son’s expressions darkened. They had heard countless doctors say this before and were already numb to it. The final outcome had never surprised them.

“Then let’s try!”

Yu Wan walked in.

Doctor Ji looked at her. In fact, the reason why Doctor Ji could recognize Yu Feng was because he remembered the girl beside Yu Feng. He had seen countless people in his life, but he had never seen a woman with such a calm temperament like her. She was beautiful. However, Doctor Ji was already past the age of seeing women through their looks. It was probably because she was a little different that he remembered her.

“Doctor Ji.” Yu Wan greeted him politely.

Doctor Ji nodded. “Then I’ll prescribe the medicine.”

Yu Wan said softly, “Doctor Ji, please.”

Doctor Ji waved his pen and calmly wrote down a prescription. He handed it to the siblings and said, “Go find the medicine boy.”

“How much?” Yu Feng took the prescription and asked. He could roughly recognize a few words, but it wasn’t much. Therefore, he didn’t understand what was written on the prescription.

Doctor Ji said, “A hundred taels.”

With that, he continued writing the prescription.

Yu Feng’s eyebrows twitched. “What? A hundred taels? What medicine is so expensive?”

Doctor Ji explained, “There’s a Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and a two-hundred-year-old ginseng inside.”

Yu Feng did not understand what snow lotus was. He only felt that this price was too expensive. “Doctor, are you tricking us?”

Doctor Ji laughed angrily. “If you don’t believe me, you can take the prescription and go to another pharmacy to get the medicine. Baozhi Hall has been operating for so many years. It’s impossible for us to do such a wicked thing.”

“But…”

Yu Feng wanted to say something else, but Yu Wan grabbed his arm. “Big Brother, I can afford a hundred taels.”

The money they earned from doing business was all invested in the workshop. However, the consultation fee for the little fat ball’s treatment happened to be a hundred taels if it was converted to silver.

Uncle opened his mouth, but Yu Wan interrupted him in time. “Uncle, listen to me.”

“I’m going to give you acupuncture later,” Doctor Ji said to Uncle. Then, he looked at the door. “Anzi.”

The shop assistant who had received Yu Feng in advance walked in and helped Uncle to the room where acupuncture was specially done.

On the other side, Doctor Ji had also finished writing the second and third prescriptions. “There’s a total of three hundred taels.”

Yu Feng was dumbfounded. “Why did it become three hundred taels again?!”

Doctor Ji said, “One prescription can only be taken for one course of treatment. One course of treatment is ten days. You have to eat for at least a month.”

“This, this…” This was a scam!

Doctor Ji was helpless. He really didn’t cheat anyone. Back then, that divine doctor used this prescription. The consultation fee that the divine doctor charged was twice as expensive as his. What do you mean by hanging a pot to help the world? That also depended on money. Moreover, he wasn’t the one who opened the pharmacy. He couldn’t lower the price just because he wanted to.

“Can’t we take it for ten days to see the effects?” Yu Feng asked.

Doctor Ji said, “Yes, but the two-hundred-years ginseng and the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus are rare herbs. I wonder if you can buy it the next time you come.”

This was also the truth. It was definitely not to deliberately lure them into buying.

Yu Feng was anxious. “Where would we get so much money?”

Even Yu Wan only brought a hundred taels with her when she went out. She thought that this hundred taels could support them three to five times, but she didn’t expect to lose it in one go. It wasn’t enough to buy.

Just as Yu Wan felt a headache coming on, a slender hand reached over from behind her and placed three banknotes worth a hundred taels on the table.

Yu Wan turned around. A familiar cold fragrance wafted over. Realizing that the two of them were too close, she moved aside.

Doctor Ji looked at the person with a strange expression. This was undoubtedly an extremely noble man. His attire and every move he made exuded a noble aura that only the heavens had.

“Not enough?” Yan Jiuchao said indifferently.

Doctor Ji came back to his senses. He looked at the banknotes on the table and said, “Enough, enough. It’s exactly three hundred taels. Little brother, take the banknotes and prescription to the counter to get the medicine.”

These words were directed at Yu Feng.

Yu Feng looked at Yan Jiuchao, who had suddenly appeared, and was so shocked that he was speechless. Doctor Ji called him twice in a row before he picked up the banknotes and prescription on the table in a daze and left in a daze.

Doctor Ji looked at Yan Jiuchao and then at Yu Wan. He suddenly felt that he was redundant. He coughed lightly and pretended to be deaf and mute as he left.

Only the two of them were left in the room.

His powerful aura was everywhere. Yu Wan’s eyelashes trembled. “…Thank you very much. I’ll return it to you. I have ten taels of gold here. I’ll return a portion first and think of a way to deal with the rest.”

With that, Yu Wan opened her purse and took out the little fat ball’s consultation fee. “Here.”

Yan Jiuchao did not take it.

Yu Wan took a step forward, pulled his hand, and stuffed the gold ingot into his hand.

Yu Feng only came back to his senses halfway through grabbing the medicine. He had left his sister behind and hurriedly returned to look for Yu Wan. Unexpectedly, the moment he reached the door, he saw his sister holding Yan Jiuchao’s hand. He was so frightened that he dropped the medicine bag in his hand.

Yu Wan heard the sound of the medicine bag falling to the ground and retracted her hand.

Yan Jiuchao turned around calmly and looked at Yu Feng, who seemed to have been struck by lightning. “What’s the matter?”

Yu Feng stammered, “No… no… nothing…”

Who was the one who was caught?

… .

The banknotes that Yan Jiuchao brought allowed them to buy the medicine that Uncle needed in time. Doctor Ji gave Uncle acupuncture and massage. The pharmacy brewed the first batch of medicine for Uncle. After Uncle took it, he was sleepy and soon fell unconscious.

“What’s wrong with my father?” Yu Feng asked worriedly.

Doctor Ji smiled and said, “The medicine has taken effect. Don’t worry, let him sleep for a while more. Don’t wake him up. He’ll feel much better when he wakes up.”

Yu Feng was skeptical, but there was no reason to give up halfway through the treatment. After all, that was three hundred taels of medicine! Yu Feng simply didn’t know how to repay it…

It was probably impossible for Uncle to return to the village in this state. Yu Wan planned to stay at the inn, but Uncle Wan, who had rushed over, brought her to a courtyard under Yan Jiuchao’s name.

The courtyard was not far, about the same distance going to the door to the Young Master Manor.

Originally, it was not impossible to go to the Young Master Mansion. However, firstly, the Princess Consort was there, so Uncle Wan felt that it was better not to complicate matters. Secondly, Yu Wan did not want her uncle to wake up and ask where they were. She had to hold back her shock and tell him that they were in the Young Master Mansion.

It was a courtyard with three entrances. The door did not look conspicuous, but it was another world after entering. The courtyard was very elegant. The first courtyard was planted with bamboo, the second courtyard was built with a shallow fish pond, and the third courtyard was built with a parasol tree that was at least a hundred years old.

A few words suddenly flashed across Yu Wan’s mind—Phoenix Perching in the Parasol Tree.

Yu Wan was arranged to be in the innermost room, while Yu Feng and her uncle were in the front.

After covering his father with a blanket, Yu Feng found Yu Wan. “What’s going on between you and Young Master Yan?”

This doubt had been in his heart for a long time. His sister had saved Shopkeeper Cui’s life by beating Yan Jiuchao, so he wanted to ask, but he didn’t know how to ask.

“He… did he treat you—” Yu Feng was too embarrassed to speak.

“Big Brother, you’re thinking too much. He didn’t do anything to me.” He misunderstood that I wanted to do something to him. But it wasn’t good to tell Yu Feng about this.

Yu Feng believed that his sister was a person who knew her limits. However, as her brother, he had to remind her. “It’s best if nothing happens. This Young Master’s reputation isn’t good. I’m worried that he will do something to you when his temper rises. I think we should avoid provoking him.”

“What will happen?” Yu Wan asked.

Yu Feng blushed. “What… What else could it be? A man and a woman…”

Yu Feng could not continue.

Yu Wan secretly thought, could it be that he kissed her, hugged her, and slept with her when she wasn’t paying attention? With that guy’s looks and figure, she didn’t lose out either…
