Gu Feng stopped Gu Yun who was about to lose his temper. This old doctor who looked down on others was a good doctor and was about to leave. He had been practicing here for more than ten years and was now in his forties or fifties. He felt that there was no money to be made here and was planning to take his apprentice and two doctors away to start his own business.

There are only nine departments here, namely: general pulse, wind department, minor pulse, sores, swelling and fractures, ophthalmology, gynecology, stomatology and throat department, acupuncture and moxibustion department, and gold arrowhead and book taboo department.

This is the head office of Gushengtang. Including Gu Feng, there are a total of eight doctors, covering all specialties. In ancient times, it was already a very large medical clinic.

However, Gushengtang itself is not for profit, and the salary paid to registered doctors is not high. Especially after the current emperor came to power, the status of doctors has been increasing, and these old doctors have begun to have other ideas.

"She is Lady Yi?"

"Yes, father, she is the lady in clothes that my son mentioned to you."

Hearing the conversation, Yinuo raised his head and looked at the person who came. An old man walked out from the inner hall.

He had a head full of silver hair and a long white beard on his chin. His face was ruddy, he looked energetic, kind, and his eyes revealed firmness and determination. He was obviously a doctor.

"father!"

Gu Yun walked over coquettishly and took his arm. Gu's father looked at her with a doting smile.

A daughter is always a child in front of her father, and Gu Yun is a typical case.

The appearance of Doctor Gu made the people who were mocking just now stop talking immediately. Even the old doctor who was about to leave didn't dare to speak anymore and continued to treat the patient.

"I heard from Tusheng that you want to be a registered doctor at Gushengtang?" Doctor Gu looked at Yinuo.

She bowed to Doctor Gu according to the etiquette here, and then answered, "Yes."

Doctor Gu nodded and motioned for everyone to sit down. The waiter quickly served everyone a cup of hot tea.

They were now in the middle of the lobby, with doctors' workstations on both sides, all seeing patients, and many patients queuing in the middle.

In the main hall, even if you speak quietly, you can still hear it in this environment where you can hear a pin drop.

Yinuo probably understood their intentions, so he became more serious.

Doctor Gu looked Yinuo over before asking, "Have you ever been an apprentice before?"

In his previous life, Yinuo not only had a master, but also studied in a medical university system. However, he couldn't say this, so he answered according to what he had said before.

"I have read two medical books."

"Pfft..."

"Hahahahaha..."

"Does she think that anyone can be a doctor? Does she want to be a doctor just because she has read medical books?"

Doctor Gu frowned, feeling that he had been deceived by his son, but he did not jump to conclusion. Instead, he raised his eyes to warn those who were mocking him.

Gu Yun was afraid that his father would misunderstand, so he immediately explained: "Dad, Sister Nuo is just being modest."

"She also had a master. Her master was Shen Divine Doctor from the Medical Valley. Those two books were also taught to her by Shen Divine Doctor."

When everyone heard the three words "Dr. Shen", they were surprised, but due to Dr. Gu's warning, they only dared to whisper.

"is that a lie!"

"Can such a person catch the eye of Divine Doctor Shen?"

Doctor Gu didn't say anything. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip slowly.

"What do you think Qi is?" he suddenly asked in a loud and powerful voice.

Yinuo thought about it and wondered whether he was planning to test himself.

Qi is the highest category in ancient Chinese philosophy. Ancient philosophers believed that Qi is an invisible and constantly moving extremely fine substance that exists in the universe and is the common constituent element of all things in the universe. Therefore, the idea of ​​"Qi monism" in the philosophical theory of traditional Chinese medicine was formed.

When she became an apprentice at the age of twelve, her master explained to her that to study a subject, one must first learn its theoretical basis.

“Students believe that Qi is the origin of all things in the world.”

"Oh?"

"Tell me something!" Doctor Gu didn't look at her, but looked at the people queuing in front of him, as if thinking about something.

"The origin is Qi. It arises from the formless and divides into the tangible. It creates the heaven and earth and is the beginning of the heaven and earth." (From "Explanation of Gongyang Zhuan·Yin Gong Year 1")

"Qi changes and takes shape, and shape changes and gives birth. So it is said that the whole world is just one Qi." (Zhuangzi, "Knowing the North")

"Students feel that Qi is also a basic substance that sustains life activities."

"When a person is born, the essence of heaven comes out, the shape of earth comes out, and these two come together to form a person. However, the restless spirit becomes an insect, and the essence becomes a person." (From "Huainanzi·Spiritual Training")

"Heaven feeds people with five kinds of qi, and earth feeds people with five kinds of flavors. If a person loses qi for a moment or stops eating for seven days, his life will be in danger."

Yinuo spoke eloquently as if she were reciting a textbook, and her theory stunned all the people present who had studied medicine.

Those patients who questioned her didn't understand.

"You're not just talking nonsense, are you?"

No one answered, only Doctor Gu stroked his beard, secretly overjoyed, and praised on the surface: "Very good, very thorough understanding."

As masters, they would not explain things in such detail to their apprentices.

Yinuo thought secretly: That is indeed amazing. After all, it is a collection of five thousand years of Chinese knowledge.

Her teacher when she was young, seeing that she was young, explained it to her carefully and asked her to read and memorize it thoroughly. Only after she had her own understanding would he teach her other things. So her theoretical foundation was very solid.

"Your theoretical knowledge is very solid!"

Doctor Gu looked at her with admiration, but Gu Yun gave him a smug look, as if to say: You see, my daughter is right!

Yinuo was a little uncertain: "Do we need to test some more basic knowledge?"

After all, she is going to be a doctor here, and she hopes to be recognized.

"No, I believe you!"

Doctor Gu refused outright. He still wanted to assess her, but theory was only theory after all. A thorough understanding did not necessarily lead to accurate diagnosis. He needed to let her diagnose patients on site to observe her ability.

"Which subject are you good at?"

Yinuo used to specialize in respiratory medicine. She silently compared it in her mind, according to the classification of disciplines in this era, and thought for a while.

"Big pulse, small pulse, throat department."

"I mainly specialize in these three subjects, and I know a little bit about women's medicine and acupuncture and moxibustion."

Everyone present was shocked and thought she was bragging.

"How is it possible that you can understand so much just by reading two medical books?"

"It's a lie, it must be a lie..."

They all forgot about Dr. Gu's warning and started talking about it again in surprise.

This time, Doctor Gu did not stop everyone. Firstly, he was also confused, and secondly, he felt that no matter what he said, it would be useless, and only practice could prove everything.
