How to become a Taoist priest starting from a brothel

The couple couldn't hide their joy when Liu Yin agreed, and they kept thanking her. Then they waved for two servants and explained to Liu Yin, "My husband and I were afraid we might not remember everything, so we asked the two servants to help us write it down. Please don't mind, young lady."

"It's alright." Since Liu Yin had promised not to care about such a small matter, she thought for a moment and then reminded her, "If possible, you can call your family physician. This is a matter for doctors, and I only know a few details. It would be better if the family physician could help."

Hearing her say this, the couple was overjoyed. While sending servants to fetch her, they kept praising Liu Yin: "Miss, you truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva. Not only did you remind us, but you also thought of teaching the family physician..."

Liu Yin exchanged a few polite words with the other party in a humble manner, and only stopped talking when the family physician arrived.

The physician had already heard the purpose of their visit from the servants on the way, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited: "Thank you for your great compassion, young lady."

"You're too kind. What I know are just some minor things, nothing compared to your miraculous healing skills." Seeing that the other party was indeed very sincere, Liu Yin also politely flattered him a few times.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late. Let's finish quickly so as not to disturb Miss Liu's rest any longer," the lady urged the physician with a look of embarrassment.

Upon seeing this, the physician apologized to Liu Yin with a look of shame: "I talked too much, please continue, young lady."

"Okay." Liu Yin thought for a moment and organized what she knew before saying, "Eating too much during pregnancy not only increases the risk of miscarriage, but it is also dangerous for the baby. Firstly, if the fetus is too large due to excessive nutrition, there is a possibility of stillbirth at birth. Moreover, even if the baby is born, its large size may cause fractures or brain injuries..."

"Moreover, frequent consumption of high-fat and high-sugar foods can easily cause diabetes in pregnant women, and may even affect the child, lungs, and stomach."

"I see." The physician recalled the pregnant women he had encountered when he practiced medicine in the past, and now he finally understood some of the things that he had not been able to figure out back then.

"Not only that, if pregnant women eat too much, they are also prone to drowsiness and fatigue. If this happens, the pregnant woman will be slow to react and listless, and the baby will also lose vitality."

Of course, there was more information about pregnant women, and Liu Yin talked for a long time, even mentioning things to pay attention to during the child's birth and early childhood. She noticed the couple's expressions and guessed they might be suggesting the pregnant woman drastically reduce her food intake, so she added, "Pregnant women shouldn't go hungry, as it will cause malnutrition. They should eat small, frequent meals..."

Seeing Liu Yin's seriousness, the couple indeed withdrew their infatuation and nodded in agreement: "I see, thank you very much, young lady."

Liu Yin spoke for a long time before finally seeing the group off.

Before leaving, the physician turned back and asked, "Miss Liu, may I record these things and pass them on to others?"

“Of course, this knowledge is what I learned from books. If you could organize it and spread it, that would be the best.” After thinking for a moment, she added, “If you are not able to do so, you can take this seal to a bookstore called Baowentang.”

After saying that, she handed over a specially made small seal, no bigger than a fingernail, engraved with her name. The other party was even more moved after receiving it and bowed to Liu Yin: "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. This book will surely save countless people. I will do my best to make it spread as far as possible."

After watching the other person leave, Liu Yin turned back to face Liu Xuemei and Mei Wu, who were looking at her curiously, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "What are you two doing?"

"Young lady, how do you know so much about things related to a woman's pregnancy? Oh, and about raising children too?" Mei Wuyi, who was usually taciturn, didn't speak, but Liu Xuemei, the newcomer, who had a lively personality, couldn't help but ask.

"I already told you, I saw it in a book," Liu Yin said helplessly, shaking her head.

"These are in the book too?" Liu Xuemei was incredulous. She had always thought that books only contained those obscure and difficult-to-understand writings by sages.

"Books hold a wealth of knowledge and beauty." Liu Yin looked at her and explained with a smile, "Books contain a myriad of worlds, you know? Read more books, okay?"

"Never mind, I get dizzy just looking at those things." Liu Xuemei pretended to be scared and trembled before turning around and going back to her room.

After she left, Mei Wucai looked at Liu Yin and said, "Miss, why did you agree to let them spread the word? Why didn't you spread it yourself?"

“Mei Wu, this knowledge was not written by me. I am merely standing on the shoulders of predecessors. Although using my name can certainly help them spread further, it is ultimately not as effective as a doctor in gaining the trust of others.” Liu Yin said gently.

Mei Wu nodded, her expression somewhat somber. She knew that although Liu Yin was talented, she was not respected by the public, and most people only regarded her as someone to entertain. However, she felt sorry for her young lady, because in her opinion, her young lady knew more than many so-called talented men.

"Alright, let's go to sleep." Liu Yin gave Mei Wu a reassuring look. Of course, she knew what Mei Wu was thinking, since Zhu Mei often mentioned it. But she didn't have a good solution. She could only hope that her work could have a deeper impact and that it could slowly change people's perceptions.

The next morning, the group was getting ready to leave when Mei Wu suddenly came over and told her that a woman was looking for her.

Liu Yin walked over curiously, only to find that it was the pregnant woman from yesterday. When she saw Liu Yin coming, she was about to kneel down with gratitude in her eyes.

Liu Yin quickly asked Mei Wu to help her up: "You are pregnant now, there is no need for such formality. I was just doing my best."

"No, no, no, young lady, you didn't know that you saved my life." The woman wiped away her tears before explaining, "Young lady, you don't know that the current master is my fourth master."

Liu Yin was somewhat shocked. After carefully examining the woman's features and her still somewhat childish face, she guessed that the woman was probably not very old. She couldn't help but say, "You...you're only a few years old..."

The woman touched her face with a wry smile: "Young lady, I'm not young anymore, I'm eighteen years old."

eighteen……

Liu Yin was a little sad. At this age, she was still a child. Of course, she completely forgot that she was only eighteen years old. She looked at the woman with the eyes of an elder caring for a younger generation: "Now that you have given birth to this child, you should take good care of yourself and go home to live a good life. Don't do these things anymore. It's really... really harmful to your health."

Although the woman was puzzled by her elder-like gaze, she still said with a bitter smile, "It's not up to me. I married my husband when I was fourteen, and I was pregnant twice but couldn't give birth. Then I gave birth to our first son when I was sixteen, and the following year I gave birth to my second son. Everyone praised me for being lucky and fortunate, but..."

A look of sorrow flashed in the woman's eyes: "But we were too poor, so my husband had no choice but to pawn me to the first family. But... I lost the baby. The other family blamed me for not being lucky and sold me. The second family, the third family, and it wasn't until this family that I managed to keep the pregnancy going until now."

She looked up at Liu Yin: "If this family doesn't do well, I'm afraid... Miss, you saved me and my child."

"And what about your husband?" Liu Yin frowned. "Since the first place didn't work out, why didn't your husband take you back?"

"He...he..." The woman hesitated for a long time before finally managing a bitter smile, "It's not so bad to have food and clothing like this now..."

Before she could say anything more, several maids came up behind her, including the pretty maid. She smiled and bowed to Liu Yin before saying, "Madam heard that the aunt had come to see the young lady off, so she sent us to deliver a gift and to take the aunt back to rest."

Without waiting for Liu Yin's reply, he had the maids behind him bring over several boxes, bowed, and left with the woman.

Liu Yin interrupted Mei Wukai's actions, saying, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

After they boarded the carriage and the group set off, the box was opened. Inside were a lot of silver coins and some exquisite jewelry, which Liu Yin then had put away.

Their story eventually reached Li Linfeng's ears...
