In the early morning, the sun lazily sprinkled on Wen Qingcheng's face. Half asleep and half awake, she heard an anxious female voice urging her.

"Sister Qingcheng, please come with me. It's great. I wanted to come and see you last night. I saw that you had turned out the lights at home, so I didn't come to disturb you to rest. Now I can't wait and came early in the morning."

Wen Qingcheng felt her body being pulled up, and the owner of the voice put clothes on her and helped her out. When she was fully awake, she was already lying on the swaying ox cart. Looking at the azure blue sky, Wen Qingcheng sat up suddenly.

"Qingcheng, you can really sleep. You even fell asleep on the ox cart." Li Hongxiu covered her mouth and smiled.

"Sister Hongxiu? Where are you going? To your second uncle's house?"

"Yes, someone from the county town came last night and wanted to invite you over. When I arrived at your house, I saw that you had put out the candles and knew you were asleep. I told the Liu family that I would take you over in the morning."

"Master Liu...what happened?" Wen Qingcheng was a little surprised. Why was he suddenly so anxious to find her so late at night?

"Nothing happened. After you gave my second uncle your secret medicine yesterday, the pain went away in the evening. My second uncle sent someone to get the medicine, but the prescription you wrote was lost by a careless servant, so he was unsure of the dosage. That's why he came to ask you to give him a few injections."

Li Hongxiu explained the cause of the incident, and Wen Qingcheng smiled without saying anything. She knew what happened was probably like this: Master Liu thought the medicine Wen Qingcheng prescribed was cheap and not worthy of his stature, so he refused to drink it. He also suspected that such cheap medicine would damage his body, so he threw away the prescription. As a result, by dinner time, the pain in his legs and feet had disappeared, and Master Liu realized that he had met a miracle doctor, and hurriedly sent someone to invite him.

Wen Qingcheng didn't expose it, she frowned and said, "It's a pity today, I didn't bring a medicine box."

Li Hongxiu pointed behind Wen Qingcheng, leaned over and asked, "Is this it?"

Wen Qingcheng looked at her little red-painted medicine box with some surprise. "You are so considerate."

"Thanks to brother Chuyi, we both went out and he got us out again."

Wen Qingcheng nodded, but then felt something was wrong. "You mean Chuyi gave it to him? Does he have the brains to do that?"

"Maybe Aunt Ye remembered it and asked Chuyi to send it out." Li Hongxiu also felt that Chuyi could not have such an idea, so she guessed it was Ye Xiuying.

Wen Qingcheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions. The ox cart arrived at the county town and went to the Liu family mansion with ease.

The Liu family mansion was bright and beautiful today. As soon as she entered the door, she saw four women in gorgeous clothes. Li Hongxiu saw the four people and trotted over: "First cousin, second cousin... this is Doctor Wen."

Wen Qingcheng greeted the four people, and the four beauties also came forward. Wen Qingcheng felt as if she had fallen into a bush of flowers, filled with fragrance.

On the way, I heard Li Hongxiu say that Mr. Liu had no sons, only four daughters. I guess these are the one, two, three, and four of the Liu family.

"Doctor Wen is really young, and I didn't expect you to have such advanced medical skills. I'll leave my father's illness in your hands."

"Yes, the old man is old, and we are not at home most of the time. We are worried about his illness."

"If Doctor Wen can cure my father's illness, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Wen Qingcheng was surrounded by four sisters, each of whom said something. Wen Qingcheng was almost dazzled and hurriedly said, "Where is Master Liu? I'll go see him."

"It's in the house."

Wen Qingcheng was escorted into the inner hall. Master Liu had already sat up, still wearing his shoes and socks.

"Doctor Wen is here." Master Liu greeted Wen Qingcheng politely and continued, "The medicine Doctor Wen gave me yesterday was very effective. The pain went away that evening."

"The master slept very well last night. He lay down at 10 p.m. and soon after, he could be heard snoring. He slept until 3:30 p.m. this morning before waking up." said the servant.

"What was the name of the medicine that Doctor Wen gave my father yesterday?" asked Miss Liu San.

"It's prednisone acetate and sodium bicarbonate."

"The name is so long." Mr. Liu muttered to himself, but he still couldn't pronounce the complete names of the two medicines.

The four sisters looked at each other in bewilderment. They were all wives of wealthy families and had seen many expensive medicinal herbs, but had never heard of these two kinds of medicine. They didn't know which pharmacy sold them, so they would definitely buy a few large jars to keep in stock.

Wen Qingcheng almost forgot that she was in the Great Qi Dynasty, so there was naturally no such medicine here. She coughed tactically and said, "Ahem, this is a secret recipe passed down from my father. I met a merchant from a foreign country when he went to the capital. I don't have much left."

Master Liu understood and said, "Oh~ So it's a foreign medicine, no wonder I haven't heard of it. Can you still contact that foreigner?"

"I have never seen it again since then. This medicine can only temporarily relieve the pain during the acute attack period. Later, you still need to use decoctions and acupuncture to treat the root cause."

"Qingcheng, please give acupuncture to my second uncle and give him the prescription." Li Hongxiu said.

This time, the servant handed the paper and pen directly to Wen Qingcheng. Wen Qingcheng wrote the prescription again and handed it to the servant, who immediately went out to get the medicine.

"Master Liu, would you mind taking off your shoes and socks now? I need to check your affected area."

"It's convenient, what's the inconvenience?" After Master Liu said that, the four older girls hurried forward to help him take off his shoes and socks. They took a low stool and put Master Liu's legs on it.

Wen Qingcheng smiled and said, "Master Liu is so lucky to have four daughters vying to be filial to him."

Mr. Liu was in a good mood and said proudly, "The happiest thing in my life is raising these four daughters. They all compete to honor me."

"That's great." Wen Qingcheng responded and lowered her head to check Mr. Liu's affected area. It was still a little red and swollen, but not as severe as yesterday.

"Master Liu, you look much better today. I will give you acupuncture now, and combine it with the decoction. You will see the effect when you wake up tomorrow morning. Do this for three or four days in a row and the swelling will basically go away, and you will be able to walk normally."

Mr. Liu and the Liu family were overjoyed after hearing this. Miss Liu was delighted and said, "I didn't expect that I found the right person this time."

Mr. Liu's lips trembled with excitement. "After three or four times, he can walk normally? I'm almost suffocating staying in this room. Because of my illness, several children are worried and come here every day. The quack doctors said that I need to take medicine all year round."

When Miss Liu Er heard this, she said, "How can I take medicine all year round? Those medicines are very cold, and taking too much will hurt my spleen and stomach."

Miss Liu San saw that her father would soon get better, and her eyes were red with excitement: "Doctor Wen, don't save money for us, just give my father any good medicine."

Wen Qingcheng shook her head and smiled bitterly, thinking: They are really a father and daughter, even their opinions are the same.

"Medicine is no longer expensive or cheap, as long as it is suitable for the disease. Don't give him a bunch of tonics just because he is sick. Generally, tonics are very nourishing and greasy. The elderly have weak spleens and stomachs, and they cannot digest them, which will only cause dampness and heat."
