Throughout the day, Liu Shimei’s work primarily involved conducting medical examinations for the Miao family.

With over a dozen patients, today’s workload was insurmountable, and half of them had to be scheduled for tomorrow.

As they all came from the same community, their illnesses were generally similar. The women presented with various gynecological issues, each not too challenging to treat.

Gynecological diseases required a careful consideration of the treatment course; medications and cleansings couldn’t be neglected.

Liu Shimei repeatedly emphasized the importance of adherence to treatment, documenting the medical advice in their health records, and having them sign and endorse the recommendations!

This was a precautionary measure, ensuring that in case they later denied their recovery, she would have evidence to take the matter to the authorities.

Dealing with shameless individuals required a strategy of being principled first and then dealing with dishonesty.

When Duke An’s mansion sent a group for medical examinations, although they didn’t explicitly state the nature of the ailments, many women in the household were aware of Madam Miao’s longstanding issues in that area that had never been resolved.

Now, suddenly seeking medical help from the Fusheng Pavilion, although Liu Shimei was young, her skills and abilities had been demonstrated since the opening of the medical hall, earning her a reputation.

Consequently, there was a growing number of people inquiring about the gynecological services at the Fusheng Pavilion.

In ancient times, due to polygamy and the legalization of brothels, intimate relationships were chaotic. With one man having multiple wives and concubines, some even resorted to soliciting prostitutes.

Compounded by poor hygiene conditions of the era, especially the lack of cleanliness and sterilization of sanitary products, women in the inner chambers suffered from various gynecological diseases.

Seizing this opportunity, Liu Shimei embarked on a frenzy of promoting the specialized gynecological services of the Fusheng Pavilion. She publicized it vigorously, addressing the prevalent gynecological issues.

At this juncture, Liu Shimei finally succeeded in developing disinfectant water. While the purification of alcohol required time, the production of disinfectant water was relatively simpler. It was immediately put into large-scale production and used within Fusheng Pavilion.

Subsequently, as more women visited Fusheng Pavilion for gynecological consultations, Liu Shimei began to promote sanitary pads designed by herself and made by her subordinates.

This product lacked patent protection, making it susceptible to imitation. The most distinguishing feature of Fusheng Pavilion’s sanitary pads was perhaps just the embroidered characters.

Despite the slightly higher cost, they were not cheap. However, wealthy families who sought Liu Shimei’s medical advice didn’t mind the expense.

Business was conducted pragmatically.

Engaged continuously in receiving patients for check-ups, time passed swiftly. Finally, the day arrived on the seventh day of the seventh month.

This day, known as Qixi or Chinese Valentine’s Day, was the annual meeting of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, symbolized by the magpies forming a bridge. In ancient times, it was called the Double Seventh Festival. 𝒩eW 𝒏ovels upd𝒂tes on nov𝒆l/b(i)𝒏(.)com

The customs of the capital city were relatively open-minded, with frequent interactions between distinguished families. Although there were clear boundaries between men and women, various banquets allowed them to get closer.

Events organized by princes and crown princes were usually exclusive, not open to ordinary households. As the foremost talented woman in the capital city, Liu Shimei was invited to almost all such gatherings.

However, her current lack of interest in such social events made her prefer staying in the laboratory to develop new products unless she had to accompany her silly dog.

But since she was going out with Huangfu Lingyao, she put aside the affairs of Fusheng Pavilion and prepared early.

The poetry gathering was scheduled for the afternoon and would last until the night, featuring the additional entertainment of releasing river lanterns.

In the forenoon, Mo’er was preparing Liu Shimei’s outfit for going out. Shu Yutong sat beside her, cuddling the mute child and asked curiously, “Mo’er, why are you preparing two sets of clothes for Master when she doesn’t need to stay overnight?”

“Surely, it’s necessary to prepare an extra set. Who knows if there might be any unexpected incidents? Last time at a peony banquet, the young miss was pushed into the lake! The shoes she wore temporarily were uncomfortable, and they even rubbed the back of her heels until they bled!” Mo’er had her own reasons.

Shu Yutong nodded, “Oh.”

Just as they were talking, the Second Prince rushed in!
