A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

"By the way, Jinzhong, you're very knowledgeable. Why don't you come up with a name for the clinic? I'll have someone make the signboard in the next couple of days," An Chang said.

Zhao Jinzhong looked at Zhou Ruo, thought for a moment, and said, "How about calling it Ling Shu Guan? Ruo Ruo, do you like this name?"

The Dowager Princess nodded in agreement, quite satisfied: "Hmm! Excellent, this name is very good!"

An Chang looked down on him, "Can't you at least have some substance? Isn't this just a direct quote from the title of the book 'Ling Shu'?"

Zhao Jinzhong wasn't annoyed with him and calmly said, "No, I think Ruoruo would like it."

"Mmm!" Zhou Ruo nodded and smiled. "Brother, I really like this name!"

If Zhou Ruo treats patients primarily with spiritual power and secondarily with acupuncture, the "spirit" in Ling Shu corresponds to her spiritual power.

The term "Ling Shu" itself can refer to acupuncture, making it a double entendre.

The Dowager Princess understood immediately and therefore agreed.

An Chang felt excluded again; he felt he could never fit into Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo's circle.

Many fruits from foreign countries arrived at the Prince An's residence today, and Zhou Ruo carried away a large bag of fruits when she left.

She happily returned to Lanxiang Courtyard and shoved the fruit onto the table in Ji Ping's room.

"Mommy, look! Grandma gave me so many fruits, they're all delicious!"

Zhou Ruo sifted through a pile of fruit, including longan, jujubes, and wampee...

Zhao Jinzhong followed behind, a few steps behind Zhou Ruo.

Ji Ping looked up and saw him walk in, each carrying a jackfruit the size of a small pig under one of his arms.

Zhou Ruo ran over, poked at the jackfruit, and said, "Brother, I want to eat this."

As she spoke, she inhaled the aroma of jackfruit, which was so enticing that Zhou Ruo's mouth watered.

Seeing that she was as impatient as a little glutton, Ji Ping chuckled and instructed Granny Wang to help process the jackfruit.

"Wow~" Zhou Ruo leaned over the table watching Granny Wang kill jackfruit.

Granny Wang peeled the jackfruit flesh and put it in a bowl. Zhou Ruo reached in and took a piece.

Just as I was about to put it in my mouth to savor this long-awaited delicacy, I suddenly stopped what I was doing.

She turned around and held the piece of jackfruit in her hand in front of Ji Ping: "Mother, you eat it."

Ji Ping didn't realize this was the first piece of jackfruit, and happily opened her mouth to accept her daughter's loving offer.

Seeing Ji Ping enjoying her meal, Zhou Ruo happily ran back to the table and grabbed two more pieces.

Unable to bear it any longer, she stuffed one piece into her mouth and gave the other to Zhao Jinzhong, saying, "Brother, this is for you."

Only then did he feel at ease retreat to the table and enjoy his meal.

While Ji Ping was sewing the baby's newborn clothes and hat, she asked Zhou Ruo:

"Ruo'er, your clinic is opening soon. How about I send out some invitations to make it a lively occasion?"

Ji Ping thought that this was a clinic that the Prince An's mansion had prepared for Zhou Ruo, and that the mansion would probably invite some guests over.

As Zhou Ruo's maternal family, the General's Mansion should naturally share in this honor and let their friends know, which would also serve as publicity for the clinic.

Zhou Ruo was happily eating jackfruit, her mouth dripping with juice.

Hearing Ji Ping's question, she raised her head amidst her busy schedule: "Lively?"

"Hmm..." Zhou Ruo shook her head, "I don't like crowds."

Ji Ping stopped what she was doing and looked at Zhou Ruo. "If we don't make a big splash on opening day, how will the clinic attract customers?"

"My brother put up a sign where we used to have a stall to let everyone know that we now have a clinic."

"Today at Prince An's residence, I heard Brother An Chang say that several people have been coming to my clinic to see me these past few days!"

Zhou Ru kept saying how happy she was.

Ji Ping noticed a particular word in her words, and somewhat surprised, she deliberately teased Zhou Ruo:

"Oh? You've changed your address? You're not calling me Prince An anymore?"

Then she secretly glanced at her son and found that although he was engrossed in reading, the expression on his face did not escape her notice.

Zhao Jinzhong, the older brother, was unhappy and jealous.

Zhou Ru chuckled, "It's just calling him Brother Anchang, it's not as affectionate as calling him brother. My brother is the best in the world, no one can compare!"

As she spoke, she turned to Zhao Jinzhong and asked, "Right, brother?"

A smile finally appeared on Zhao Jinzhong's displeased face: "Of course!"

Zhou Ruo was looking forward to the opening of the clinic, since her spiritual power was currently only at 66%.

For the time being, she had only one goal: to cure her grandmother.

However, with the current treatment methods, it would probably take half a year of acupuncture to possibly eliminate those spirit insects.

It's been too long; she doesn't want to wait that long.

So she thought that after the clinic opened, she could treat people every day.

As you accumulate it, your spiritual energy will gradually recover.

Zhou Ruo is now hoping that her spiritual power will recover to 70% so that she can regain her special ability and cure her grandmother in one go.

The Prince An's Mansion and the General's Mansion respected Zhou Ruo's opinion and did not send out a single invitation.

On the opening day, although no guests were invited to celebrate, four luxurious carriages were parked outside the Ling Shu Hall.

Two carriages belonged to the Prince of An's residence, and two belonged to the General's residence, with guards standing watch outside the gate.

That was even more impressive than a lion dance or setting off firecrackers.

Now there's no need for any special publicity; everyone in the neighborhood knows that the Prince An's Mansion and the General's Mansion are behind Ling Shu Fang.

Above the entrance is a large sandalwood signboard with the three large brass characters "Ling Shu Guan" inlaid in it.

Upon entering the clinic, one is greeted by a wall-to-ceiling display of sandalwood medicine cabinets.

Although Zhou Ruo did not need a prescription to treat her illness, An Chang still had a medicine cabinet made.

He had medicinal herbs moved from the storeroom of Prince An's mansion, based on the arrangement of herbs in major pharmacies in the capital.

If that wasn't enough, they went to the imperial merchants to buy more medicinal herbs, filling the medicine boxes to the brim.

Zhao Jinzhong thought of this and told An Chang about it, and An Chang thought he made sense.

Although Zhou Ruo doesn't need them when treating patients, it's really inappropriate for a medical clinic to be without medicinal herbs.

Moreover, some patients simply want to buy medicine, not necessarily to get treatment.

There was no jade pulse pillow on the rosewood table, so Zhou Ruo didn't need to take pulses and therefore didn't put it there to get in the way.

The height of the table was custom-made to fit Zhou Ruo's height.

She'll probably be sitting here for several years.

An Chang thought that she would change the seat when she grew taller and bigger and couldn't fit anymore.

Zhou Ruo really liked the environment of this clinic; it was calm and sophisticated yet full of vitality.

It was neither gloomy nor cold; even the smell of medicine was full of vitality.

Because of the special status of the Dowager Consort, she only stayed on the second floor for a short while before the elders of the Prince An's Mansion and the General's Mansion all left.

Only Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong, An Chang and An Nan remained.

An Nan asked An Chang, "Brother, can I come here often in the future?"

An Chang said coldly, "What are you doing here so often?"

Seeing her brother's lack of romantic understanding, An Nan decided not to ask him anymore and turned to Zhou Ruo, "May I come here often?"

Zhou Ruo happily replied, "Of course!"

With Zhou Ruo's permission, An Nan was satisfied. "Can you teach me medicine?"

Zhou Ru shook her head and said with a smile, "You can't learn my medical skills, but I can teach you to recognize those medicinal herbs."
