The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 89: Statement Spreads Far and Wide

On this day, Yunxi was dressed in plain clothes and set up a free medical consultation stall on the streets of the capital as usual.

As soon as the stall appeared, the crowd rushed over like crazy.

"Mrs. Yun, we've finally got you!" An old man with wrinkles all over his face and dark skin said as he squeezed to the front. He looked so anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, with fire almost coming out of his eyes.

Yunxi quickly stood up, with a gentle smile on her face, and said, "Uncle, don't be anxious, talk slowly."

As he said this, he reached out and helped the old man.

The old man immediately stretched out his hands, which were covered with calluses and rough as tree bark, and muttered, "Mrs. Yun, my arm has been hurting for a while. Can you take a look at it?"

Yunxi bent down slightly, gently lifted the old man's arm, looked at him carefully, and frowned slightly.

At this moment, a young girl, her face as red as a ripe apple, came over shyly, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "Madam Yun, I have had a headache these past few days."

Yunxi turned her head, looked at the girl softly, and asked in a gentle voice, "Girl, how long have you had a headache?"

The girl lowered her head, tugging at the hem of her clothes with both hands, and replied in a low voice, "Four or five days."

Yunxi was diagnosing the girl when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming closer.

Everyone turned their attention and saw a gorgeous carriage pull up in front of the free clinic. The curtains were lifted, and a lady in luxurious clothes stepped out, followed by two maids.

The lady wore a golden hairpin in her hair, green jade earrings in her ears, silk and satin on her body, and her face was thickly powdered.

She twisted her waist and walked step by step to Yunxi, bowed slightly, forced a smile on her face, and said, "Madam Yun, I have heard of your great name for a long time, and I have come to visit you today."

Yunxi quickly stood up and returned the greeting, with a somewhat polite expression on her face: "You are too polite, Madam."

The lady's face showed an anxious look. She said, "My master has an old illness and has sought famous doctors without success. I have heard that Madam Yun is an excellent doctor. I hope Madam Yun can come to our house to treat our master."

Yunxi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and replied, "Madam, I really can't leave right now. Why don't you tell me about the master's illness first?"

The lady came forward quickly, her mouth opening and closing as she spoke incessantly, “My master’s illness is strange indeed.

My head ached so badly all day long that sometimes I rolled around in bed in pain. I couldn't eat or sleep well.

I've consulted many doctors, but the medicine they prescribed hasn't helped. Madam Yun, you have to save my master."

As she spoke, the lady wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Yunxi listened attentively, her eyes fixed on the lady, nodding from time to time. After the lady finished speaking, she said, "Don't worry, madam. Let me think about it first."

After a brief pause, she continued, "Madam, I am somewhat confident now. I will prescribe a prescription for you."

As he spoke, Yunxi picked up a pen and began to write on the paper.

After a while, a prescription was handed to the lady. She took the prescription, stared at it, and muttered to herself, "Will this work?"

Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "Madam, please follow this prescription and take the medicine for a few days to see how it works."

The lady nodded doubtfully and left with many thanks. Before she was done with her work, another businessman came over.

The man was fat, with big ears and a big belly. He was dressed in silk and held a fan in his hand. He bowed and said, "Madam Yun, I am doing business in Jiangnan. I heard of your good name and came here specially.

I am willing to fund the construction of a clinic for you so that more people can benefit from it."

Yunxi quickly waved her hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I volunteered to provide free medical treatment to the people. There's no need for this."

The merchant insisted, "Madam Yun, please don't refuse. This is just a token of my appreciation. Look, in this world, it's really hard to find a doctor like you who has superb medical skills and cares about the people!"

If you don't accept it, I'll feel really bad." As he spoke, the merchant's fat, big-eared face was filled with an earnest smile. He didn't even bother fanning himself with the fan in his hand, but held it tightly in his hand, his small eyes staring at Yunxi expectantly.

Seeing his sincerity, Yunxi said, "Okay, but the clinic must provide free medical treatment to the poor."

The merchant nodded hurriedly and replied, "Of course, of course. Don't worry, I'll do as you say. Although I'm a businessman, I also understand the principle of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds."

From time to time, exclamations of admiration were heard from the crowd.

"Mrs. Yun is truly a kind-hearted person!" An elderly lady in coarse clothes gave a thumbs-up, and the wrinkles on her face were all smiling.

"This reputation has spread far and wide, and Madam Yun deserves it." A young man echoed, his eyes full of admiration.

Yunxi listened, just smiled slightly, and continued to treat the people.

At noon, Yunxi's stomach began to growl, but there were still many people in front of him waiting to see a doctor.

She gritted her teeth and decided to finish seeing these patients before eating. Her forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, but her hands did not stop moving at all.

A little boy ran over with a steamed bun in his hand: "Mrs. Yun, please eat something first."

Yunxi took the steamed bun with emotion: "Thank you, child." As she said that, she gently touched the little boy's head.

While eating steamed buns, I suddenly heard someone shout, "The imperial edict has arrived!"

Everyone knelt down.

The eunuch delivering the decree said in a shrill voice, "Yunxi, accept the decree!"

Yunxi quickly swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth and knelt down: "I, Yunxi, accept your order."

"Yunxi is a man of superb medical skills and benevolent heart. His good deeds have spread throughout the country. I hereby commend him and award him one hundred taels of gold and ten pieces of silk."

Yunxi kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

After receiving the imperial edict, Yunxi continued to treat the people.

Those pairs of expectant eyes and faces full of pain made Yunxi dare not stop for a moment.

Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down her forehead, but she didn't bother to wipe them off. She just focused on taking her pulse and carefully asking about her condition.

The little medicine boy beside him was busy all the time, passing medicine and helping to record the results. Yunxi's eyes were firm and gentle, and every movement was skillful and serious.

"Mrs. Yun, please take a rest. You look so tired." A kind-hearted aunt couldn't help but say. Yunxi shook her head gently and replied with a smile: "It's okay. As long as everyone can get better soon, my tiredness is nothing."

At this time, a skinny child was brought in by his mother. The child's face was pale and his head drooped weakly.

Yunxi quickly reached out to take the child, placed him on her lap, frowned slightly, and examined him carefully.

"The child has been suffering from long-term malnutrition and has caught a cold. I'll prescribe a prescription and take good care of him when he returns home."

Yunxi said as she quickly wrote down the prescription.

Unconsciously, the sun was setting and the patients gradually dispersed. Yunxi pounded his aching waist and breathed a long sigh of relief.

In the evening, the free clinic ended, and Yunxi dragged her exhausted body back to the Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as I entered the palace, I saw the prince coming to greet me. He was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a heroic spirit.

He took a few quick steps and came to Yunxi's side. He asked with a concerned look on his face, "Are you exhausted today?"

Yunxi smiled and said, "I'm not tired. I'm happy that I can help everyone." As she spoke, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

The prince said, "Your fame has spread throughout the country. I am so proud of you."

Yunxi said: "This is all thanks to everyone's trust."

As he was speaking, the housekeeper came running over. He was a fat middle-aged man, running out of breath, and the fat on his face was shaking.

"Madam, there are many people outside, all of whom come to ask you for medical treatment because of your reputation."

Yunxi frowned: "What should I do?"

The prince thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, let them wait outside the palace first, and we will make arrangements tomorrow."

Yunxi nodded.

At night, Yunxi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. "With great fame comes great responsibility."

She muttered to herself. The moonlight shone through the window onto her face, reflecting her slightly sad expression.

The next day, Yunxi got up before dawn, washed up briefly, and hurried out of the mansion.

Arriving outside the mansion, he saw a crowd of people standing there. Yunxi took a deep breath, gathered his composure, and began to diagnose and treat everyone.

A strong man with a full beard stretched out his thick arm. Yunxi gently placed it on his arm and carefully felt his pulse.

"You're exhausted from working. Rest for a few days. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to recuperate." The burly man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Thank you, Madam Yun."

A woman in patched clothes was holding a child and said anxiously, "Mrs. Yun, please take a look at the child. The child is crying all the time."

Yunxi took the child, coaxed him gently, and examined him carefully.

That day, Yunxi was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. After seeing the patient, an old man took Yunxi's hand and said, "Mrs. Yun, you are our savior!"

Yunxi said, "Old man, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

In this way, as the days passed, Yunxi's reputation became more and more famous, spreading to every corner of the country.
