The young monk made a formal bow to Chu Qingzhi, his eyes brimming with reluctance. “Miss Chu, I don’t know when we will meet again,” he said.
Chu Qingzhi gently touched the young monk’s bald head with a smile, saying softly, “It won’t be too long.”
The young monk, looking up at Chu Qingzhi’s smiling face, couldn’t help but hug her in the end. “Miss Chu, I am leaving now.”
“Alright,” Chu Qingzhi responded softly. “Listen to your master and be a good boy. If you pass by my house, come and have a meal.”
The young monk grinned sweetly, replying, “Okay.”
The abbot made a formal bow to everyone, “Thank you all for your hospitality. We are taking our leave now.”
Everyone returned the gesture, “Master, take care on your journey.”
The abbot, leading the young monk, gradually walked away.
Embracing the transient nature of their gathering, the abbot strode forward with detachment and resolution.
The young monk followed behind, turning back every few steps, his eyes glistening with tears, evoking a sense of tenderness in those who saw him.
Their figures slowly blended into the crowd.
Da Bai, the tiger, watched them go, his round eyes seeming puzzled. Why were they leaving?
Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning arrived at their neighbor’s house and were warmly received.
A maid led them into the young madam’s room. “Please have a seat, our young madam will be out shortly.”
The young madam she was talking about was called Yue Donglian. She had been married for three years and gave birth to a child in the second year. There were many stretch marks on her stomach. She had been troubled and wanted to get rid of them. She had tried many ways, but without exception, they all failed.
When Chu Qingzhi approached her and asked her to try the new ointment, Yue Donglian agreed without hesitation.
Upon hearing of Chu Qingzhi’s arrival, Yue Donglian quickly came out from the inner room with a welcoming smile. “Please sit down, young ladies.”
Chu Qingning inquired with concern, “Madam, how do you feel about it?”
Yue Donglian said excitedly, “The effect is very good. So far, I’ve applied a total of three times. To compare, 1 only applied it to half of the area, and the treated half has recovered at least sixty to seventy percent. The results are significant.”
She continued, “Miss, can I buy the remaining ointment from you? No matter the price, 1’11 buy it. Also, 1 have many friends who need this ointment. Do you have more of it?”
“No need for payment, we’ll give this bottle of ointment to you as a gift,” Chu Qingzhi said. She continued, “We are still in the process of making more ointment. It’s not available in large quantities, priced at ten silver taels per bottle. If you really need it, you can place an order at our house.”
Yue Donglian nodded, “Miss, can this ointment be used for other purposes as well, like scars from burns and scalds?”
Chu Qingzhi replied, “Yes, it can, but for skin injuries, it needs to be applied several times.”
“That’s wonderful,” Yue Donglian said happily and reflectively. “So many women suffer from this problem, and now with your ointment, it can finally be solved.”
Hearing this, Chu Qingzhi’s sister suddenly understood the significance of studying gynecology as suggested by her younger sister.
Chu Qingzhi said, “Anyone who needs it can buy it from our house. You can spread the word about this among your friends.”
“I will,” Yue Donglian assured.
“Thank you for testing the ointment for us, Madam. We won’t disturb you any longer now.”
“Take care, Miss,” said Yue Donglian as she personally saw them out.
She then immediately instructed her maid to inform her close friends about the wonderful product she had discovered.
On the way home, Chu Qingning said, “Fifth Sister, I understand what you mean.”
Chu Qingzhi asked, “So, what have you decided?”
Clasping her fist, Chu Qingning vowed, “1 will focus on gynecology and aim to solve various difficult cases for young women.”
“That’s good.”
A well-dressed woman with two maids walked towards Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning.
The woman bowed. “I’m Nanny Zhang from the household of the Vice Minister of Personnel. It’s an honor to meet Miss Chu Qingzhi and Miss Chu Qingning.”
Chu Qingzhi looked at the three of them in confusion. “Nanny Zhang, what’s the matter?”
Nanny Zhang said politely, “I heard that Miss Chu has just successfully delivered the children for the young madam of the Minister of Rites. Our madam is about to give birth too. Miss Chu, please help.”
Seeing an opportunity for her sister to practice, Chu Qingzhi agreed, “We’ll prepare and follow you shortly.”
Nanny Zhang said happily, “Alright, thank you, Miss Chu.”
After Chu Qingzhi and her sister returned home to gather a medical kit, gloves, cotton swabs, cotton wool, and hemostatic drugs, they followed Nanny to the Vice Minister of Personnel’s residence.
In the guest hall.
‘A Thousand Miles Matchmaker’ smiled and tugged at her handkerchief as she asked Li Qingyu, “Sister Qingyu, have you considered it?”
