The two looked over and saw three words written on the sign, "Rejuvenation Hall."
Although I already know that this is a family clinic, and the meaning of this "Rejuvenation Clinic" should also represent the miraculous healing of youth, but it still sounds a bit romantic.
"Which clinic can have so many people queuing up? My little disciple, why was there no one in the clinic we opened at that time? Also, why are there so many girls here to see the doctor? Is there an infectious disease in the city?"
The girl rolled her eyes.
"Old man, how can you talk like that? Please don't curse us. Are you new to the city? Don't you know who owns this clinic?"
Shen Huan and Shen Shijiu shook their heads together.
The girl's eyes sparkled. "This clinic is run by Doctor Jiang Yubai. You've all heard of Doctor Jiang's name, right? He was very famous in the past and was the imperial physician of the palace. But later he resigned and opened this clinic in the city. Many people come here because of his reputation, and I'm sure you are one of them."
Shen Shijiu excitedly whispered in Shen Huan's ear, "Master, Master, it's Doctor Jiang."
Shen Huan corrected him, "It's not Imperial Doctor Jiang now, it's Doctor Jiang."
The girl said, "Yes, yes, Doctor Jiang is great, he can cure any disease, and he is so handsome. Otherwise, why do you think those women line up? They just want Doctor Jiang to touch their wrists. Pah."
Shen Huan looked at her and said, "Aren't you one of them?"
The girl glanced at Shen Huan, covered her mouth and coughed twice, "No, I'm not like them. I'm really not feeling well."
Shen Huan sighed, ignored her, and was about to turn around and leave.
Shen Shijiu stood there without moving and pulled Shen Huan's sleeve.
"Master, shouldn't we go in and see Doctor Jiang?"
Seeing that his eyes were full of pleading and hope, Shen Huan couldn't bear to let him down again. What's more, the two of them walked around the city and nothing seemed to happen.
"Then let's go in and take a look."
As they spoke, the two of them walked past a long line and went straight into the clinic in full view of everyone.
As soon as I stepped in, a little medicine boy stopped me at the door and said, "Hey, you two, please line up outside if you want to take my pulse. I remind you that Doctor Jiang's consultation time is only half an hour left."
Shen Shijiu said, "But we are not here to see a doctor, we are here to see Doctor Jiang."
The little medicine boy looked as if he understood everything. "I know. Those people outside are here to see Doctor Jiang."
Just as he was about to say something else, a man came out from the inner room. He took off his official robe as imperial physician and wore a plain white robe. He looked very handsome.
Jiang Yubai spotted Shen Huan and Shen Shijiu standing in the lobby, and slowly walked over and stared at them.
The little medicine boy said, "Doctor Jiang, these two people must come in directly."
Jiang Yubai smiled and said, "It's okay. Go outside and tell them that the clinic is closed today. Those who want to see a doctor can go to other places. Please come early tomorrow if you want to see a doctor."
The little medicine boy was very confused, but he still ran out and did as he was told.
Jiang Yubai walked up to Shen Shijiu and gave him a hug.
"Xiao Shi, where have you been? I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion but couldn't find you. You just left without saying anything. You are so cruel."
Shen Huan was frightened when he saw Jiang Yubai trying so hard to hug his little disciple. He was afraid that he would bump into his little disciple, so he hurried over to separate the two.
"Alright, alright, just show your respect, let go, let go quickly."
Jiang Yubai sent Shen Shijiu over and gave Shen Huan a polite hug.
"Master Shen, I never had the chance to thank you. Now that I see you, I want to formally say thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have really died in that prison."
Shen Huan waved his hand, "It's just a small matter. By the way, how did you recognize the two of us at first sight?"
She said and touched her face.
Jiang Yubai smiled and said, "I was just guessing. I didn't expect that I would guess it right."
Then he stopped smiling and said, "Master Shen, to be honest, I really want to know why you left without saying anything, at least to say goodbye."
Shen Huan said, "Farewell? We are lucky to get out alive. Don't you know what kind of temper Lord Pei has? Do you think he will let us go?"
Jiang Yubai nodded to show his understanding, "That's right."
Shen Huan asked, "But there is one thing that is very strange. Why didn't I see anyone from the Prime Minister's Mansion in the city? Didn't Lord Pei send people to look for us?"
"Why didn't you find him?" Jiang Yubai asked, "In the beginning, the entire imperial capital was turned upside down, and even some small towns nearby were not spared. But then something else happened in the court, and Lord Pei was sent by the emperor to clean up other places. Only then did the imperial capital remain peaceful for a few days."
Shen Huan asked, "That means Master Pei is not in the city now?"
"Well, he's not here. He probably won't be back for a few days."
Shen Huan laughed, "Alright, alright, I'm relieved, little disciple, I'll take you out to eat something delicious later!"
Shen Shijiu also heard the conversation between the two and knew that Pei Zheng was not in the imperial capital. He looked very unhappy, but in order not to make his master worry, he still smiled.
"Okay, Master."
Shen Huan saw that he was forcing a smile, and looked at Jiang Yubai, and they both sighed.
Jiang Yubai said, "My clinic is closed now, let's go to Yipinxiang for a big meal."
Shen Huan seemed to hesitate and said, "But, well, I'm afraid I don't have enough money."
Jiang Yubai had already gone over and pulled up the depressed Shen Shijiu, striding towards the door.
"It's my treat."
Seeing this, Shen Huan hurriedly followed and said to Jiang Yubai, "Walk slowly, don't pull him!"
The three of them came to the street and walked towards Yipinxiang.
Shen Huan had been taking care of Shen Shijiu's speed and walked very slowly. Jiang Yubai also walked very slowly. The three of them walked leisurely on the street.
Suddenly, several people appeared on the opposite side, and the one leading them was holding a little black cat in his arms.
Shen Huan was the first to see those people. He was startled and pulled Shen Shijiu to the side.
Before Jiang Yubai could react, he was the only one left among the three, and the person walking towards him was Li Yu.
Li Yu brought a few servants with him to find a veterinarian. No one knew what had happened to the mansion's cat, and it had refused to eat for several days. If the cat was not cured before the master returned, everyone in the mansion would suffer.
Seeing that he couldn't hide anymore, Jiang Yubai took the lead and called out, "Li Yu."
Li Yu also saw Jiang Yubai, "Doctor Jiang, the clinic is closed today, how come you have time to come out to the street?"
Jiang Yubai laughed dryly twice, "Haha, it's not open. I'm just going out to the street to stroll around. Just for fun."
Li Yuhuai's little black cat didn't know what happened. It suddenly started barking in a certain direction and struggled to jump off Li Yuhuai.
Li Yu soothed it twice and held it down to prevent it from moving.
"I don't know what's wrong with this cat. It has been restless since Master Shen and Master Shen left. Sigh."
Li Yu was actually very worried. He didn't know where the little prince had gone, whether he was safe, and whether he was living well.
Jiang Yubai said, "There is a good veterinarian in the north of the city. You can take the cat there to have a look. By the way, do you know when Master Pei will be back?"
Speaking of this, Li Yu sighed, "I don't know yet. The master should have returned a few days ago, but I don't know if he encountered something on the way. I still haven't heard from him yet."
Jiang Yubai also started to worry, "What about Chengfeng?"
"Guardian Feng was with the Master, and there has been no news from him until now."
Jiang Yubai pinched his fingers and said, "It's okay. Then take the cat to see it as soon as possible."
Li Yu said goodbye to Jiang Yubai and led his men towards the north of the city.
Shen Huan and Shen Shijiu waited until the crowd had gone far away before they came out from behind the stall next to them.
Shen Shijiu looked at Li Yu and the kitten who had disappeared, pursed his lips, and said softly, "Xiao Miaowu"
When he heard the kitten's cry just now, he wanted to go over and hug it, but Shen Huan held him down and prevented him from moving, because if Li Yu found out, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion would find out.
Therefore, I can only let my little disciple suffer some injustice.
The three of them continued to come to the door of Yipinxiang, where business was still booming.
The waiter led the three people to sit down in the lobby on the first floor. The three people did not have any requirements to sit in a private room.
Jiang Yubai said, "Just order more dishes, you don't have to save money for me, just consider it as my thank you to you two."
As expected, Shen Huan didn't bother to be polite with Jiang Yubai. She ordered a table full of delicacies from land and sea, and then she asked her little disciple to eat with her.
Unfortunately, Shen Shijiu had just eaten a string of candied haws and now had no appetite. He didn’t want to eat anything. He even wanted to vomit when he smelled the delicious food. This was his favorite Yipinxiang.
Jiang Yubai picked up a piece of meat for Shen Shijiu. When Shen Shijiu smelled the smell, he couldn't help but turned his head and retched softly, but Jiang Yubai still didn't hear it.
Jiang Yubai was worried that Shen Shijiu was sick, so he pinched his wrist and took his pulse.
Shen Huan was enjoying his meal, but when he saw Jiang Yubai taking his young disciple's pulse, he was so shocked that he spat out the chicken leg in his mouth.
"Let him go! Let him go now!"
Unfortunately, Jiang Yubai over there had already noticed something unusual.
He narrowed his eyes, slowly retracted his fingers, stared at Shen Huan, and asked silently, "Is he pregnant?"
