Song Yu wrote the prescription and was about to get the medicine. As soon as he walked out the door, the maid came to meet him.

"Miss, if you need anything, just tell me."

Song Yu paused and looked at her. The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pair of almond-shaped eyes and an oval face, and she looked particularly well-behaved and cute.

"What's your name?" Song Yu asked.

"My name is Xianglu, and the other one is Huaying." Xianglu said.

Song Yu said, "Miss Xianglu, I want to go out and get some medicine. Do you know where the nearest pharmacy is?"

Xianglu said, "There is a pharmacy in the mansion. If you want to get any medicine, you can go directly to the pharmacy."

Song Yu remained expressionless, but was shocked inwardly.

"Could you please take me there?" Song Yu asked.

Xianglu nodded: "Miss, please follow me."

Song Yu followed her out of the yard.

Two servants were standing at the gate. When they saw Song Yu coming out, they greeted her in unison: "Greetings, young lady."

Song Yu was startled, then reacted and waved his hand: "I have seen you, I have seen you."

Xianglu took Song Yu towards the pharmacy.

Song Yu suddenly asked, "Is it not a good idea for me to go there rashly? How about you help me and ask Madam Lu for instructions first?"

Xianglu tilted her head slightly and said, "Don't worry, young lady. Madam has instructed us to take good care of our distinguished guests. If you need anything, just let me know."

Song Yu felt from the bottom of his heart that this lady was really nice.

From Zhelangxuan where they lived, one had to pass through the garden and the front hall. Along the way, one would see carved railings, jade bricks, waterside pavilions and terraces, which were magnificent and picturesque.

We arrived at the pharmacy, where there were doctors and servants preparing medicines.

Song Yu was brought into the pharmacy by Xianglu. The doctor knew Xianglu but not Song Yu.

Xianglu spoke first: "Hello, Doctor Li."

Doctor Li is an old man who looks to be in his 60s, with gray hair and no beard.

"Miss Xianglu, are you feeling unwell?" asked Doctor Li.

Xianglu said, "It's not me," then she moved aside, revealing Song Yu behind her and said, "This is Miss Song, the distinguished guest brought back by the eldest young master. Miss Song wanted to get some medicine, so I brought her here."

Song Yu nodded: "Doctor Li."

Doctor Li also nodded and said, "Then come over here, I'll take the girl's pulse."

Song Yu said, "I'm not a patient. I'm a doctor. I just want to get some medicine."

"Are you a doctor too?" Upon hearing this, Doctor Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Song Yu with suspicion.

Song Yu felt uncomfortable under his gaze. The emotion in his eyes was just short of saying, "Woman, what's the point of being a doctor?"

Perhaps due to her status, she did not speak it out loud.

"Where is the prescription?" Doctor Li's attitude was completely different from the politeness he had shown to Xianglu.

Although Song Yu was somewhat unhappy with his attitude, the most important thing now was to get the medicine, so he took out the prescription he had written.

Doctor Li took the prescription, looked at it carefully, looked at it with some contempt, and said nothing.

He stood up and said, "Since you are an honored guest in our mansion, I will personally prepare the medicine for you."

Song Yu looked at her expression and endured it again and again. After all, this was someone else's territory, and he was an old man. Respecting the elderly and loving the young was a Chinese virtue. He had to maintain virtue and keep virtue.

But when he saw the old man about to pack up the herbs, he quickly stopped him: "Doctor Li, do you have any herbs left?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Li finally couldn't help but said in a bad tone, "Don't think that just because you've read a few medical books, you can become a doctor. Doctors are there to cure illnesses and save lives, not to show off and end up killing people."

"Little girl, I advise you to do what you should do. It is a woman's nature to be virtuous and to take care of her husband and children." Doctor Li persuaded Song Yu with an expression that said, "I'm doing this for your own good."

Song Yu's face was already dark at this moment. She just came here to get some medicine, but she was lectured.

This old feudalism, even in the martial arts world where women can practice martial arts, there are still these stubborn old things.

"I'll get the medicine. You just need to follow the prescription I give you and prepare the herbs I need. The rest is none of your business." Song Yu was angry and his tone was not good.

Doctor Li was immediately dissatisfied: "You are a little girl, how can you not distinguish between good and bad? I am prescribing medicine according to your prescription. Do you know that there is something wrong with your prescription?

Angelica Blood-Replenishing Soup, with ginseng added. It's not like just eating all the good things will make you better. As the saying goes, extremes lead to their opposites, so recuperation should be done gradually. And your coptis root and cinnamon..."

"How much has Doctor Li studied medicine?" Song Yu interrupted him and asked.

Doctor Li was not happy with Song Yu's sudden response, but he still replied, "I have been practicing medicine for 40 years. I am now years old."

"When will you enter the mansion?" Song Yu asked again.

"Why are you asking this?" Doctor Li was confused.

Xianglu continued, "Doctor Li has been in the palace for fifteen years."

Song Yu heard this and asked Xiang Lu, "Do you usually go out of the house to treat other people?"

Xianglu shook her head: "Doctor Li is the Lu Mansion's physician, specializing in treating the master of the mansion."

Song Yu sneered and looked at Doctor Li. Seeing that he still had a smug expression, he said, "Those who study medicine must think broadly and innovatively. They must learn from the past without being stuck in the past, and accept the new without following the trend. They must think broadly about the changes in medicine and seek new techniques to help the people.

When studying medicine, one must not be arrogant, as arrogance will lead to misleading people. One must not be lazy, as laziness will lead to wasting one's skills. One must not be greedy, as greed will lead to moral corruption. One must act with a sense of awe and fulfill one's responsibility to save the world, only then can one be a good doctor.

And you, with your clumsy skills and unawareness, are blindly short-sighted, arrogant, and complacent. People like you will sooner or later become mediocre doctors!"

"Bang!" Doctor Li slammed his hand on the table and pointed at Song Yu: "You little girl, you speak without thinking. You are unscrupulous, unscrupulous."

Song Yu was absolutely right: "What's wrong with being a woman? Men and women are all human beings, with the same wisdom and abilities. Women's gentleness can soften the strong and violent, and women's intelligence can bring light. Women who are as brave as men can also fight on the battlefield, defend their country, and paint with their skills, leaving their names in history.

As for you, you are narrow-minded, blind, and foolish."

"Young Master," Xianglu suddenly shouted towards the door.

Song Yu looked back and saw Lu Shangbai standing at the door.

Behind him followed Shuangque and several servants.

Lu Shangbai walked in and looked at Doctor Li, whose face was red with anger.

"Ahui, please prescribe new medicine for Doctor Song." Lu Shangbai said.

The man who had been standing behind Doctor Li immediately responded, "Yes."

He was originally a servant in charge of dispensing medicine in the pharmacy, and was considered Doctor Li's assistant.

Doctor Li usually relied on the fact that he was an elder in the mansion and the only doctor in the pharmacy, so he was inevitably a little arrogant.

He had considered Dr. Li's age and didn't bother with him, but what Song Yu said today was a severe slap in the face of Dr. Li.

Lu Shangbai said again: "Double Pavilion."

"Boss." Shuangque responded and listened quietly to the instructions.

"Go out and post a notice that the Lu Mansion is recruiting new doctors. The number is temporarily set at three. From now on, one month will be reserved every year for the doctors to provide free medical services to the public." Lu Shangbai said.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Shuangque said with a bow.
