Yingbao asked the mistress of the house to bring an oil lamp, and then she pulled back the sick woman’s blanket.

A strong, overpowering smell of blood hit her, causing several people to step back.

The woman choked out, “Miss, to be honest, my daughter was poisoned, she accidentally took abortion medicine. Since then, she’s become like this I don’t know what to do anymore.”

She had previously invited several midwives over to examine her, but none could do anything. Now, her daughter couldn’t even get out of bed.

“Accidentally took abortion medicine?” Yingbao questioned.

The woman replied: “Yes, that is what the doctor said.”

Her daughter, Dongmei, was once married to Li Xing who lived in Willow Branch Lane. She became pregnant a year later, but unexpectedly miscarried after five months. Li Xing then handed her a divorce letter and drove her out, proclaiming that his family, having produced only males for two generations, could not tolerate a woman who didn’t give birth.

Mrs. Li even spread rumours, stating that Dongmei had lost her virginity at a teahouse with her father and hence would never be able to have children; that was why Li Xing divorced Dongmei and remarried.

The poor girl got so upset that her sickness grew worse, and eventually she couldn’t get out of bed.

Yingbao examined Dongmei thoroughly, then told her mother: “Your daughter’s condition is not critical, but you must follow my method. I will give you two prescriptions: one for oral intake, the other for bathing in the boiled medicine water. Both medicines must be brewed with the Rootless Water from my shop, and don’t forget to use it three times a day.”

The woman’s eyes lit up, “Can my daughter be cured?”

She was willing to give everything a try, even a prescription written by a child, as long as her only daughter would live.

“She should recover, but I don’t know if she’ll be able to give birth in the future,” Yingbao gave an honest answer.

At worst, she could use Five Tripod Ganoderma to repay Gao Lifan’s kindness for sheltering her in his previous life.

The woman, excitedly, expressed: “As long as my daughter lives, that’s enough,” regardless of whether she may bear children in the future.

Yingbao left the room and sat down at the table in the hall. She instructed Erni to place the medicine box on the table and unlocked it with her own key.

She took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, ground the ink and started writing the prescriptions.

Once she finished, she even stamped her personal seal on them.

Yingbao handed the prescriptions to the woman, “Go fill these at the pharmacy, then go to my shop and buy a jar of Rootless Water.”

The woman thanked her and asked, “May I ask your last name, young doctor?”

“I’m Jiang Yingbao. I’m a disciple of the Wen Family in Yuzhou. I was previously an apprentice at Rongji Pharmacy and I have completed my apprenticeship,” Yingbao stated with a straight face.

The woman had no idea who the Wen Family in Yuzhou was, nor where Rongji Pharmacy was located, but this child sounded so confident that she didn’t have any doubts.

“What about your consultation fee”

“No need for any consultation fees.” Yingbao generously waved her hand, “Go fill the prescription quickly.”

After saying this, she packed up her medicine box, locked it, and instructed Naini to carry it as they left the Gao residence. Jiang Quan followed them closely, constantly asking along the way, “Yingbao, you are really treating people? Won’t there be any problems?”

Erni glanced at him, “Yingbao has already cured many people in the village. You, stop being a worrywart.”

Jiang Quan reluctantly shut his mouth.

After Yingbao left, the woman quickly showed the prescriptions to her husband to review.

Gao Lifan looked at them and noticed ingredients like angelica, Chuanxiong, peach kernel, dried ginger, Huangbo, Cnidium Fruit, and Sophora Root, he nodded approvingly.

He talked to his wife, “The prescription seems okay; it’s similar to the one given by doctors who came here before.”

Even though a few of the herbs were different, the overall prescription still made sense. His daughter had been sick for so long, and he was so used to buying medicine all the time, he felt as if he might become a doctor himself.

That little girl must be a real doctor after all.

“She didn’t take any consultation fee and just asked us to buy some Rootless Water from her shop. Don’t forget to buy it,” the woman reminded her husband.

Gao Lifan replied, “I understand.”

Upon reaching the pharmacy, he handed the two prescriptions to the pharmacy clerk.

The clerk took them, puzzled, and asked, “Who is this Jiang Yingbao? Which doctor is this? Where does he practice?”

Gao Lifan dared not say that it was a child from the Jiang family, instead, he vaguely replied, “A doctor new to the area, you won’t know him, just fill my prescription quickly, please.”

The shop assistant didn’t suspect anything. He handed the prescription over to the accountant in the pharmacy to calculate the price and asked Gao Lifan to pay first while he went to weigh the medicines.

Gao Lifan then went to Jiang’s Speciality Shop with his package of medicine.

As he entered the shop, he greeted Jiang Cheng, “I have come to buy Rootless Water.”

Jiang Cheng, with an expressionless face, pushed a jar of water already prepared by his younger cousin and said, “A bargain, two coins.”

Gao Lifan paid two coins, lifted the jar of water and headed home to brew the medicine.

Seeing the customer leaving, Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Earlier, when his little cousin came back, she went by herself to the kitchen and returned with a jar of water for him. She advised, if anyone came to buy Rootless Water, it would cost two taels of silver a jar.

They were charging two taels of silver for a jar of water which ordinarily costs ten coins. Jiang Cheng was genuinely afraid that the customer would turn around and smash him with the jar.

Incredibly, this man indeed spent two coins to buy a jar of water.

Alas, he prayed that he wouldn’t come back to cause trouble.

Jiang Cheng set those two coins aside separately, pondering that if the man came back to claim a refund, he would secretly return the money to him.

Yingbao, unaware that her elder cousin had already planned to return the money to the customer, went with her second cousin to the porcelain shop and ordered a batch of jars that could hold water.

Later, she instructed her second cousin to hollow out two large gourds in his free time – she would use them for storing water.

Ni Er, following her everywhere she went, was very happy and occasionally asked her, “Yingbao, could that woman really recover?”

“Hmm.”

“How did she end up like that?”

“An accidental abortion resulted in uterine damage, there might be residual blood clots.”

“Ah? How do you know?”

“My master said so.”

Ma’am Wen specialized in gynecology; however, due to limited resources, Yingbao had only observed a few female patients with her.

This was the first time Yingbao encountered a patient afflicted like Dongmei, so she wasn’t sure if she could fully cure her.

But, she had the Five Ding Zhi, it should not be a problem saving her.

On the next day, Jiang Quan took his two female cousins to visit the Tile House, actually to go there to watch a variety show.

Before they even reached there, they could hear the drum and music sounds.

The foot traffic along the way increased. There were people of all ages, as well as many vendors who mostly sold various types of snack foods.

Such as deep-fried tofu, tofu pudding, cooked chestnuts, stir-fried soybeans, candied popcorn, candied fruit, colored sugar balls, and milk sweets.

There were candied haws, toasted bread slices, rice cakes, sticky rice with red beans and osmanthus rice balls, amongst others – a vast variety.

Jiang Quan bought three candied haws, one for each of the siblings to enjoy as they strolled about.

Yingbao spotted a store specializing in selling needles. There was a bronze sign hanging in the middle of the store, on which was an image of a rabbit pounding medicine. On the side it was inscribed: “Chen’s Skilled Needle Store, buying top-grade steel bars, producing refined needles, suitable for household sewing, also dealing in wholesale, with special discounts granted, recognizable by a white rabbit sign.”

This was a wholesale and retail shop that also bought steel bars, with a white rabbit as its insignia.

After looking at the signs of a few stores, Yingbao noticed that each one had its own symbol.

Even the pattern on the bronze signs was the same, likely created under unified production.

What if their house also custom-made a sign like this?

Could they then also hire a songstress to advertise for their shop and compose some lyrics to promote Jiang’s Speciality Shop?

Or perhaps they could pay to have a flag and drum team carry banners around the county town to publicize their shop?

As long as the advertising was executed effectively, they wouldn’t have to worry about unsold or slow-selling goods.
