Lin Shuo kept staring at the backs of these people, and only after they walked far away did Lin Shuo say, "This person said their family is in Huining. Huining is the capital of Jin Country, and they also said their surna is Yan; it should be Wanyan."
"This person must undoubtedly be of the Imperial Family of Jin Country."
Yun Jiao said strangely, "Why did they travel so far? Five thousand miles!"
Lin Shuo shook his head.
After Wanyan Zhang left the shop, the guard behind him said, "Young master, this Doctor Gu really doesn’t appreciate the honor."
"The young master ca personally to invite her and was even willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold, yet she wouldn’t give the slightest bit of face."
Wanyan Zhang, with a cold face, walked forward, "She doesn’t know my identity, so naturally, she doesn’t have to give face."
Another guard said, "If not, why don’t we find an opportunity to kidnap her!"
Wanyan Zhang strode forward, "We’ll discuss it the night before we leave."
"Her shop has two guards who likely have martial skills; taking her away won’t be so easy."

In two days, Shen Qing suddenly ran nervously to Yun Jiao and said, "Doctor Gu, there’s a layer of white frost outside the waterlon jar. Could it be that the waterlon rinds inside have gone bad?"
Yun Jiao smiled, "That layer of frost is Waterlon Frost. Use a clean little brush to sweep away that frost, leave the jar there, and after two days, it will frost over again."
Shen Qing happily took a brush to the back, and shortly after, he carefully brought over a small porcelain plate with a layer of snow-white frost inside.
Yun Jiao glanced at it, "Seal it in a clean bottle and label it."
Shen Qing didn’t rush to leave but instead asked, "What illness does this dicine treat?"
Yun Jiao thought for a mont, "It treats sore throats, especially throat abscesses; it’s very effective."
Shen Qing murmured to himself as he went about his tasks.
The free clinic was scheduled for the next day.
Yun Jiao got up early in the morning.
Mrs. Chen also got up early. She packed a bunch of things for Ah Tie and Shen Qing to take over.
There was a large parasol, Yun Jiao’s usual teacup, fan, bamboo mat, and mung bean soup to beat the heat.
Yun Jiao grabbed a few herbs and brewed a large pot of herbal tea in the kitchen. She tasted it herself and found it quite good, better than so old brands.
She had the herbal tea scooped out, filled into a large jar covered with a cloth, and had Zhang Shun and Liu Zhu lift it onto the carriage.
When the carriage reached the West City Gate, they saw that many people were already there.
A row of tables and chairs was set up along the city wall, with a sign on the table stating the doctor’s na.
Ah Tie and Shen Qing ran over to take a look and quickly found the sign with Yun Jiao’s na on it.
The carriage went over, and the large jar of herbal tea was carried down.
Then Ah Tie tied the parasol to a wooden pole and stuck the pole into the ground, adjusting the angle so the shade perfectly covered the seats.
Shen Qing helped arrange the cushion, placed the teacup and folding fan, and even had a palm fan tucked into his waistband, ready to fan Yun Jiao at any ti.
Yun Jiao put on a mask and also had Lin Shuo and the others put on masks.
Though it was hot, wearing masks made it hotter, but the crowd was dense, and there was fear of infectious disease.
Like tuberculosis, which can be transmitted through droplets.
Yun Jiao had just sat down in the chair when soone looked over, and then soone shouted, "That’s Doctor Gu——"
In an instant, many of the citizens who were wandering around, seemingly undecided on which doctor to see, rushed over from the side of the West City Gate.
The governnt official in charge of maintaining order saw the crowd rushing to one side and quickly banged on a gong, "Everyone, line up properly, don’t crowd. Anyone who cuts in line will lose their appointnt to see a doctor."
