"Why are you afraid of Pei Yunmeng?"
The disheveled medical scrolls on the table were tidied up and set aside. Miao Liangfang leaned his walking stick against the wall and sat down, supporting himself on the edge of the table.
Lu Tong waited for him to speak.
After a long while, Miao Liangfang touched his nose and began hesitantly, "Actually, this matter, well, it's an old account from many years ago."
"Twenty years ago, I took part in the Imperial Medical Bureau's spring examination and became the only commoner medical worker who passed that year. I was just twenty-two years old at the time, see, about the same age as your young master."
"I ranked third in the entire spring examination, outperforming all of the students in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Afterward, I entered the Hanlin Medical Institute. It wasn't long before I got promoted to medical officer. The officer in charge thought highly of me. I was often consulted about the noble's pulse diagnosis and dietotherapy."
