275 Local Tycoon (First Update)

Today, Gu Jiao is making a house call at a three-compound mansion in the eastern part of the city. The master of the house is a scholar who teaches at a nearby academy. His wife hails from a decent family, so their household is fairly comfortable.

The patient this time is their eldest son, who turned twenty this year. He had just passed the imperial examinations and became a graduating student. The family was overjoyed, but unfortunately, he contracted a severe disease a few days ago.

They took him to a nearby medical hall, but were turned away at the door. They were told he had smallpox and advised to treat him at home.

The medical hall did provide medicine, but after a few days of administration, there was no sign of improvement. They heard from a student at the academy that the physicians at Miao Shou Tang were skilled, so they desperately sought their help.

However, to their surprise, the physician was a woman.

Both the husband and wife were disappointed.
