After Tang Mu Qing finished taking the pulse, he folded the white cloth and placed it on the table. The woman retracted her hand and waited for the "doctor" to come to a conclusion.

Actually, she didn't think that this apprentice would give her any conclusion. She only thought that if the outcome of the old doctor taking her pulse today was really as she had guessed, then she would be able to accumulate some good fortune for her child.

Tang Mu Qing thought about the words in his head and then said to the woman with a smile, "You can go back and forth with ease." Do not look at the number of sliders as one, but as many as you can see. The slider is like a bead, the count is six. Congratulations Madam, this is the wedding meridian. "

Although the middle-aged woman didn't particularly believe Tang Mu Qing, her face was still filled with joy, "Thank you for your blessings."

At this time, Lil 'Six brought Old Doctor along to the front hall. When Tang Mu Qing saw that Old Doctor had arrived, she hastily got up to make room for him.

The old doctor and Tang Mu Qing had the same method of checking the pulse, but the duration of the pulse examination was much longer than Tang Mu Qing. After examining the pulse with both hands, the old doctor chuckled and said the same conclusion as Tang Mu Qing.

The couple were overjoyed. After prescribing some medicine to nourish their bodies, the man helped the woman out. When they arrived at the door, the woman paused for a moment, turned around and said to the old doctor, "Sir, this apprentice of yours is quite good at checking meridians. He should be able to finish his apprenticeship in a few years."

Tang Mu Qing didn't expect the woman to speak up for him before she left. Seeing the woman walk away, Tang Mu Qing hesitated for a moment before running over to send her off.

After the woman walked out of the door, she whispered to the woman, "Madame's left pulse is stronger than her right artery. This fetus is most likely a son."

Hearing the woman's praise to Tang Mu Qing, Xiao Niu followed Tang Mu Qing, who was preparing to continue processing the medicinal herbs, to the backyard, asking her about the pulse of her wedding vein.

It wasn't that the old doctor didn't teach Little Six, it was just that the old doctor's words were like memorizing textbooks and were very dull. Little Six had never been to school, so even if he memorized everything the old doctor said, he still couldn't use it flexibly.

The day before, when Tang Mu Qing taught him how to process medicinal herbs, she lectured very vividly, making it very interesting for Xiao Liu to listen and he remembered her very quickly.

Tang Mu Qing looked at Little Six's "teach me" expression and couldn't help but poke him in the face. Little Six was just about to say something when Tang Mu Qing spoke: "Do you know how to feel the pulse?" Lil 'Six nodded with his mouth shut.

"It's like there's a row of bubbles running through my pulse, going through my ring finger, middle finger, and index finger at a relatively fast speed, one after the other. But you must remember, this is only a method of initial pulse detection. Not everyone conforms to this method, so you must pay attention to the coordination of the "Weng Wen Wen" method, don't you know? " Tang Mu Qing explained in detail while cutting the herbs. Little Six helped Tang Mu Qing wash the medicinal herbs as he listened attentively.

In the side room of the magistrate court, the magistrate and Manager Liu were drinking wine opposite each other.

After he finished drinking, the county magistrate ordered the constable to fetch another pot. Then, he went straight to the point where Shopkeeper Liu was half drunk: "Brother Liu, to be honest, I have something that I need your help with."

"I knew this wine wouldn't be so simple," Manager Liu thought. "If there's anything, just say it, Brother Zhao. I'll definitely do my best to help."

County Governor Zhao sighed, "You must have heard about the recruitment."

Manager Liu nodded. "I've heard. This is the biggest news in the past few days."

"The instructions that came to me, in addition to following His Majesty's orders to recruit troops, also required every place to provide a doctor with the ability to do so. If you want to talk about our Huai An City's capable doctors, you should know them like the back of your hand. "

"It seems like you want me to help you pry your way out of the wall." Shopkeeper Liu thought like this in his heart, but he said: "Brother Zhao, it's not like you don't know that all the skilled doctors in our city are so proud, but the infirmary still doesn't want them, so they spend money every day. How could they just stumble all the way to Liangzhou to suffer?"

Zhao County Magistrate was a very understanding person. The constable who went to fetch the wine returned with another servant, who came in behind him with a plate covered with a red cloth. After placing the plate on the table, the servant went out and closed the door.

Zhao lifted a corner of the red cloth and pushed the plate towards Manager Liu. "This is my hard work."

Shopkeeper Liu didn't hold himself back. He took the plate filled with silver ingots and smiled at the magistrate. "Don't worry, old brother. I will settle this matter for you."

After Manager Liu left, Zhao slowly drank another cup of wine. He was very satisfied with the amount of money he had spent on this task. This way, he would not have to go out and forcefully suppress the outsider at the infirmary, but he would also be able to bring glory to Huai An City when people came from above to inspect. The magistrate slowly finished the entire pot of wine before humming a small tune as he walked towards his bedroom.

Shopkeeper Liu took the silver and returned to the infirmary. He began to ponder about the doctors in Huai An City. He was willing to give money to someone to do something for them, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find a suitable candidate. Some of the famous ones were too old to deal with, while the young ones were related to the infirmary. However, they were all apprentices, and if the county magistrate were to find an apprentice to fool them, it would be difficult to explain.

After thinking about it, Tang Mu Qing walked in from the backyard with the dried herbs in her hands. She then sorted the herbs into categories and put them into the corresponding cabinets. When he turned his head, he saw the shopkeeper staring at him, causing him to shrug in fright.

Manager Liu waved his hand at Tang Mu Qing and said, "Come here."

As Tang Mu Qing walked over, countless possibilities surfaced in her mind. 'Could it be that I didn't do well?', 'Should I chase myself away?', 'Or does this shopkeeper have some special habit of liking' men '?'

However, the shopkeeper only called her over and asked her a few questions.

"Do you know how to take a pulse?" "A little."

"Can you prescribe a simple medicine that gives a headache and a fever?" "Yes."

"Do you want to earn more money?" "Of course I want to!"

The shopkeeper nodded. "I've got a job for you. As long as you're doing well, you'll earn a lot of money if you stay for a month. Just that you're a bit busy."

"I'm not afraid of working hard. Thank you, Shopkeeper."

Originally, Tang Mu Qing had planned to work in the hospital for a period of time and find another way out. After all, he could only barely eat two steamed buns after earning five taels of gold a day.

So when she heard that the shopkeeper had contacted her for work, she felt that the shopkeeper probably felt that she had overeaten, but she still kindly found another boss for herself.

That night, for the first time ever, the shopkeeper gave some silver to Little Six to buy him some food to make a very sumptuous dinner. He even asked him to bring Tang Mu Qing a piece of cloth that could be used as a baggage and bought a new pair of shoes.

Tang Mu Qing didn't feel like she was being sold at all. At night, she lit a grey oil lamp to sew the cloth into a backpack. She felt that even though the shopkeeper was usually very serious, his heart was still very good.
