Things have passed, and I still live a leisurely life. The only difference is that I seem to have many friends who are not friends.

When Captain Ma is not busy, he will come to my small medical clinic to sit for a while, drink a cup of tea, or bring back some small pills I made, saying that they are convenient to use and the effect is quite good. I made these pills based on Chinese patent medicine from later generations. Are they prescriptions? From the memory of Mr. Gongsun.

Now the main business in my store is these pills, the price is very cheap, and Lao Suntou's gold can be put to better use.

Ning Xiucai would also come when he was resting. He didn't do very well in the provincial examination, because with the reward, he had money to study in a famous academy in Yingtian Mansion.

About half a month later, it was almost evening, and when I saw Captain Ma walking towards me carrying two oil paper bags and a jug of wine, I knew that this old man wanted to have a drink with me again. As soon as he entered the room, I smiled and said to him, Lao Guo’s pig head meat and soy sauce pork liver. Captain Ma laughed loudly and said,"You have a really good nose. I also beat up the daughter of Li's shop. Let's have two drinks tonight."

Okay, Brother Ma, please go inside first. I will close the shop first. After closing the shop, I went to the restaurant and ordered two dishes to go with the wine. When I got home, I heated up the wine. When the food was delivered, Captain Ma said,"Come on, let's try today's pork head meat." I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth. The pork head meat was really delicious and not greasy. It was perfect for drinking. I have never tasted such delicious pork head meat in modern times. Captain Ma couldn't stop laughing when he saw the happy look on my face after eating. Every time I see your expression after eating something delicious, I feel satisfied even if I don't eat it.

Eating is one of my great hobbies in life. A sip of fragrant rice wine is really more comfortable than the thousand-dollar brand-name wine now. I smiled and said to Captain Ma, Brother Ma, you should also eat it. This pork head meat is suitable for my daughter. The red is absolutely stunning. Captain Ma also took a bite, took another sip of wine and said,"Have you heard?" Sun Dailang came back today, and it seems that there will be a funeral for Lao Suntou tomorrow.

Yeah? I really haven’t heard of it. It’s time to calculate the time. It’s been how many days since the spirit stopped. His family can't hold a big funeral. They are elderly people in Yingtian Mansion. There must be a lot of people going there tomorrow. Brother Ma, you will be very busy tomorrow. Don't all the government officials have to go to express condolences? Do you have to accompany me? That's right, the horse agent said, little agents like us are not allowed to follow behind and protect them.

After finishing the wine, Captain Ma was about to leave. When I arrived at the door, Captain Ma turned around and said to me, don't go out tomorrow if you have nothing to do. There will be too many people and chaos. I smiled and agreed, then closed the door and entered the house, quarreling with Maoqiu in my heart, thinking that no good person would be dead even if he died, and the funeral was quite grand.

The funeral of Old Suntou the next day was really grand. Half the city came to watch the fun, yes, because in the gossip and rumors of the common people, Old Man Sun died on his concubine's belly. Old Suntou was a lecherous man with many concubines in his family, and the news spread throughout Yingtian Mansion. Just because he had a son who was a high official, everyone was talking about it behind his back.

With the burial of Old Man Sun, everything came to an end, and my life returned to how it used to be. I went out to have breakfast in the morning, came back, opened the door of the medical clinic, made a pot of tea, and read a book. While I was reading a book, I heard footsteps. When I looked up, I saw an old woman walking in, supporting a young girl wearing a cloak and a hood. The old lady said, is the doctor here? I stood up and walked to the doctor's table and sat down. I said to the visitor,"I am the doctor, who is going to see the doctor?" Then I pointed to the chair next to the table and said,"Sit here."...

The girl sat down and took off her hat. She is a beautiful sister. She looks like Master Li on TV. I asked this sister what was wrong and where she felt uncomfortable. The girl looked at me, as if she was embarrassed to say it, and looked back at the old lady. The old lady came forward and said, our girl is a prostitute from Cuihonglou. She started to have a rash on her body a few days ago, but she didn't take it too seriously. It has become more and more frequent these days, and she has also started to have a fever.

I looked at the red pimples on the girl's arms and checked her pulse. I asked if there were many such rashes on the body. The girl replied in a low voice, there were not many, and they were also on the stomach.

After judging it, I thought to myself that this was a symptom of syphilis. This disease should be considered a terminal illness in this era. Without antibiotics, it is impossible to cure it with only traditional Chinese medicine.

I was thinking about what to tell the patient, and the old woman said to me, doctor, isn't it just a rash? I heard that the pills you sell are very useful. Are there any pills that can cure this kind of rash?

I looked at the old lady and asked,"Are you the madam of Cuihong Mansion?" The old lady said,"No, no, I am the old lady who waits on the girls."

I said, then you go back to your boss, or the madam came to visit me. The old lady looked disdainful, and I said, little doctor, our boss is very busy, how can he have time to come here? I thought about it and said, okay, then I can go back with you. The old lady thought for a while, if this girl had any internal disease, if she said it outside, it would have an impact on the business of Cuihonglou. If she went back and said it, no one would know. She came to such a small medical clinic just to hide her eyes from others. Now the young doctor and It's also a good idea to go back on your own.

The old woman said, okay, just ask the doctor to go back with us.

I closed the door of the medical clinic and followed the two people towards Cuihong Building. Laitiancuihonglou is a very exquisite three-story building. It seems that the business is quite good. For a brothel to be opened on this scale, the owner must be no ordinary person.

When we entered the building, the building was very quiet because it was early in the morning. I guess the girls were all resting. The old lady asked the girl to go back to the house first, while she went to find the old madam and put me on the seat in the front hall.

I sat down and waited for a while, then I saw the old lady walking out followed by a middle-aged woman in brocade. I think this is the old madam here. She is quite good-looking. I think she was also a beauty when she was young. Yeah, even now that I'm older, I still have charm.

The old madam sat opposite me and said,"I heard from Mrs. Qin that the doctor wants to see me." Yes, I want to tell you about the condition of the girl who just came to my place for medical treatment. By the way, what was the name of the girl just now? Well, her stage name is Qihong. What's wrong with Qihong? Isn't it just a rash? There's nothing serious about it. I replied that what Qihong had was not an ordinary rash, she had bayberry sores. The old madam stood up in shock after hearing this. How could it be possible? She had just accepted the customer. The customer had hired her for a month and she had not accepted any other customers.
