The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 87 Yunxi Free Clinic

The streets of the capital were bustling with activity, people crowded together. Yunxi, along with her maid Xiaocui and several attendants from the Marquis's residence, had set up a free medical consultation stall in a spacious open space.

Yunxi was wearing a light blue dress, plain but elegant. Her hair was neatly combed into a bun, with a few strands falling on her cheeks, making her look particularly gentle.

"Madam, everything is ready." Xiao Cui said crisply, the little maid's eyes sparkling and her face full of anticipation.

Yunxi nodded gently, "Let's get started."

Soon, the people gathered around. An old man, his face wrinkled like a walnut, limped forward, mumbling, "Madam, my legs hurt so badly when it rains. Please take a look at them."

Yunxi quickly stood up with a smile and helped the old man sit down. "Uncle, don't be anxious. Speak slowly."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched and pressed the old man's legs here and there.

The old man hissed in pain and gasped for air. Yunxi frowned slightly, "Master, I'm afraid your leg has been affected by the cold for many years."

"That's right, ma'am, it hurts so much." The old man made a bitter face and sighed repeatedly.

Yunxi said seriously, "Uncle, you should pay more attention to keeping warm on weekdays, don't be greedy for coolness."

As she spoke, she bent down, took out a packet of herbs from the medicine box, and handed it to the old man. "This is the medicine I made. Take it home and boil it in water. It will work."

Yunxi smiled and asked the old man to sit down. She reached out and gently pressed his legs. "Uncle, I'm afraid your legs have been affected by the cold for many years. You should pay more attention to keeping warm on a daily basis."

As she spoke, she took out a packet of herbs from the medicine box. The old man took the herbs gratefully and said, "Thank you, ma'am. You are so kind-hearted."

The old man's hands trembled, his calloused fingers tightly gripping the herbal bag. Tears of gratitude welled up in his cloudy eyes. His lips trembled as he spoke, "Madam, my old bones have endured so much pain, but today I have finally found my savior."

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Yunxi.

At this time, a woman holding a child squeezed in and said, "Madam, my child has been coughing for the past few days and it's not getting better."

The woman's hair was a little messy, her face was full of anxiety, and beads of sweat hung on her forehead. Yunxi took the child and gently patted the child's back. The child's face was red and he whimpered.

Yunxi put her ear close to the child's chest, listened carefully to the child's breathing, then gently opened the child's mouth and looked at the child's tongue coating.

"The child has caught a cold. I'll prescribe a prescription and you just need to take the medicine according to it." Yunxi said in a gentle voice.

The woman nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of anticipation: "Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am."

In the crowd, a thin young man was hesitant. Yunxi noticed him and asked, "Young man, are you feeling unwell?"

The young man was wearing patched clothes and was so thin that his cheekbones were protruding. He blushed, scratched his head, and whispered, "Madam, my stomach always hurts."

Yunxi quickly asked him to lie down, rolled up his sleeves, and stretched out his hand to press his abdomen a few times. The young man cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch," and Yunxi frowned and said, "You have an irregular diet and your stomach is not in good condition.

Eat on time from now on and eat less raw or cold food." He took out a bottle of pills from the medicine box and handed it to the young man. "Take two pills daily."

The young man took the pill, held it as if it were a treasure, and left with many thanks.

The crowd at the free clinic stall grew. Yunxi was so busy she didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. She'd just finished treating an elderly woman when a middle-aged man came in complaining of back pain.

Yunxi was diagnosing and prescribing medicine non-stop, with beads of sweat appearing on her forehead, but her eyes remained focused and firm.

"Madam, please take a rest." Xiao Cui said distressedly. Xiao Cui stood aside, holding a handkerchief in her hand, wanting to wipe Yunxi's sweat, but she was afraid of delaying her treatment.

Yunxi shook her head and said, "It's okay. There are so many people waiting."

At this time, a little girl in patched clothes came over timidly, her head drooping, her two small hands tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Madam, my mother is sick and can't get out of bed."

When Yunxi heard this, she packed up her medicine box without saying a word and said, "Come on, take me to see it." After that, she followed the little girl.

The little girl hurried along the way, and Yunxi quickened her pace to follow closely. When they arrived at the dilapidated house, they smelled a pungent musty odor as soon as they entered.

Yunxi saw a haggard woman lying on the bed. Her face was sallow, her hair was disheveled like grass, her eye sockets were sunken, and her lips were chapped.

Yunxi hurried to the bedside, put his hand on the woman's wrist, and carefully diagnosed her.

She sometimes frowned, sometimes pursed her lips, her eyes focused and serious. After a while, Yunxi stood up, took out a pen and paper from the medicine box, and quickly wrote a prescription. "Take this medicine on time, and you will get better."

When the little girl heard this, her eyes instantly filled with tears, and she said in a sobbing voice: "Madam, we don't have money to buy medicine."

Yunxi looked at the pitiful look of the little girl and felt soft in her heart. She stepped forward and touched the little girl's head, saying gently, "This medicine is free. Take good care of your mother."

It was already evening when Yunxi left the woman's house. Dragging his exhausted body, he moved step by step towards the free clinic.

The setting sun stretched her shadow very long, her steps were heavy, and her forehead was covered with sweat.

"Madam, you are finally back. There are still many people waiting for you." The attendant said anxiously.

Yunxi took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off his face. "Go on."

As soon as the voice fell, a burly man came over. He frowned, covered his arm with one hand, and shouted, "Madam, my arm is injured and I can't use it."

Yunxi quickly asked him to sit down and carefully examined his wound. The wound was bloody and swollen, and Yunxi couldn't help but frown. "This wound is a bit infected. We need to treat it quickly."

As she spoke, she skillfully opened the medicine box, took out the disinfectant and gauze, and gently wiped the wound with the disinfectant. The big man hissed in pain and gasped.

Yunxi comforted him, "Hold on, it will be fine soon." Her hands kept moving, quickly applying medicine and bandaging the wound.

The big man looked at the bandaged wound with gratitude, gave a thumbs up and said, "Madam, your medical skills are really superb."

Yunxi smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. As long as I can help everyone, that's fine."

We were busy until dark, and the people who came for the free clinic gradually dispersed.

Yunxi was so tired that she could hardly straighten her waist. She pounded her aching back and said weakly, "Pack your things and go back home."

When I returned to the mansion, the prince was already waiting at the door. He was wearing a brocade robe, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a heroic spirit.

Seeing Yunxi's exhausted appearance, he hurried forward and said distressedly, "Are you exhausted today?"

Yunxi forced a smile, which was a bit tired. "I'm not tired. I feel at ease when I can do something for the people."

The prince sighed softly, held out his hand to support Yunxi as he walked into the mansion, muttering, "You are always so kind."

The next day, Yunxi arrived at the free clinic early at dawn. She had just put down her medicine box and barely had time to catch her breath when she saw a hunched old man groping his way towards her.

The old man was dressed in rags, his face was covered in wrinkles like ravines, and his hair was gray and messy. He walked up to Yunxi tremblingly and asked in a trembling voice, "Madam, can my eyes be cured?"

Yunxi quickly stood up, reached out to support the old man, asked him to sit down, and then carefully examined the old man's eyes.

She frowned slightly, her expression focused, and after looking at it for a long time, she said, "Master, your eyes have been like this for too long. I can only try my best."

After hearing this, the old man's cloudy eyes instantly filled with tears and he sighed deeply, "Alas, if this disease can't be cured, how am I going to live the rest of my life?"

Yunxi held the old man's hand and comforted him softly, "Uncle, don't be discouraged. Let's get treatment first."

From then on, Yunxi would wait for the old man to come early every day. She applied medicine and gave him acupuncture, and every move was done with great care.

The elderly are also very cooperative and look forward to their visit every time.

Once, the old man accidentally fell and broke his forehead. Yunxi felt so distressed that she applied medicine to him and told him to be careful when walking.

Many days passed like this. Finally, one day, the old man's eyes began to see a glimmer of light.

The old man was so excited that he was shaking all over. He held Yunxi's hand and kept saying, "Madam, you are my great benefactor!

I am an old man, but I never thought I would see the light of day again." As he said this, he was about to kneel down to Yunxi.

Yunxi quickly stopped him and said, "Master, no, no. I'm glad you're getting better."

The old man's wrinkles on his face deepened as he smiled, and his smile was full of gratitude and joy.

Yunxi looked at the old man's happy face and her heart was filled with joy.

There were all kinds of people attending Yunxi's free clinic, including poor farmers, street vendors, and down-and-out scholars.

Yunxi treated all of them equally and treated them seriously.

On this day, a young man in gorgeous clothes came. He wore a purple gold crown on his head, a brocade robe, a white jade belt around his waist, black satin boots on his feet, and waved a folding fan in his hand, looking very rich and noble.

The attendants around the young master shouted at the top of their lungs, "Move aside, move aside, my young master is here to see a doctor."

This shout startled the people around him and caused them to look sideways. The common people all showed dissatisfaction, and some people whispered, "Whose young master is this? He is so arrogant."

Yunxi frowned slightly when he heard the shouting, stood up, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Sir, please line up."

The young master snorted disdainfully and said, "I don't have time to queue up." As he said that, he closed the folding fan in his hand and pointed at Yunxi.

Yunxi said sternly, "Everyone is equal here. If you don't want to queue, please go back."

The young master didn't expect Yunxi to say that, and was stunned for a moment. The expression on his face changed from arrogance at first to some surprise. He stared at Yunxi with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and turned to look at the follower beside him. The follower also had a confused look on his face.

The young master turned his head again and stared at Yunxi for a long time. The people around him also quieted down and their eyes all fell on the young master.

The young master hesitated again and again, but finally put away his folding fan and muttered, "Queue up, then! I want to see how capable you are."

Having said that, he lined up obediently.

While waiting in line, the young man would occasionally cast dissatisfied glances at Yunxi, but Yunxi seemed unaware and continued to concentrate on treating the patient in front of her.

Finally it was the young master's turn. Yunxi carefully asked about his symptoms. The young master answered in a bad mood, but Yunxi did not get angry and patiently diagnosed him.

As time went by, the reputation of Yunxi's free clinic spread throughout the capital.
