Chapter 36 I'll Treat Your Husband
Huang Hesheng just came back from the capital. Seeing the woman was not attracted by money, he turned over to think about it and thought it was indeed a little cheap for the unique copy to be sold at one hundred taels of silver.
He squinted and thought for a while, and then he raised his head and said very solemnly, "OK,this way, I treat your son and give you a hundred taels of silver, and you sell me the book, would it be fine?"
Liu Cuihua excitedly pinched her two hands into fists, with her face turning red, " Can you really cure my son?!"
Before Huang Husheng answered, his entourage volunteered, "My master is Yi Zheng of the Royal Hospital! Now he's just going home to visit relatives by imperial decree. It's your blessing to have my master be your doctor!"
God! Did their poor Wu family have a change of luck this year? Why did good things happen to them one after another?
It was actually Yi Zheng of the Royal Hospital ah! The private doctor who treated the emperor!
Liu Cuihua was really happy in her mind, and was even too excited to speak.
Su Jiuyue looked at him, and asked solemnly, " Master, what is this book?"
She had grown up poor and had never learned to read. Naturally, she didn't know the name of the book.
Of course, Huang Husheng would not cheat a child, so he told her, "This book is called Journey to Novoland. It is a unique copy."
"What is a unique copy?" Su Jiuyue didn't understand it.
"It means the only book extant in this world."
Su Jiuyue thought for a while and asked, "Can you find someone to copy one by hand for my husband?"
Huang Husheng felt the bearing of the scholar in front of him, and then looked at the unique book in his hand, and finally nodded.
"OK!"
The book was left in the Huang family. Huang Hesheng found a servant to copy the book, and ordered people to take out a silver draft(bank note) worth one hundred taels of silver and give it to Liu Cuihua.
Liu Cuihua refused it, " You'd better pay me in cash!I'm a bit of a boor, feeling comfortable with cold hard cash in my hand."
Huang Husheng ordered his servants to do as she said. Liu Cuihua took Wu Xiyuan, who was a little tempered, and said with a smile to Huang Husheng, "Master Huang, please examine my son! He got his head hit this spring and became like this after he woke up."
But unexpectedly, Wu Xiyuan stepped back a few steps, with serious resistance, "Bad man! You took my book! My wife gave it to me!"
Su Jiuyue was really pleased to see that he cherished her mind so much, but no matter how good the book was, it was just a lifeless thing.
Everything else was not worth mentioning if it could make him recover.
Su Jiuyue took his hand and coaxed him in a soft voice, "Don't be angry, Xiyuan. I'll buy you another one later, OK?"
Wu Xiyuan's eyes were still red. Su Jiuyue stretched out a slender finger to touch his forehead, "Will you still have a headache?"
Wu Xiyuan thought for a while and nodded with a flat mouth, "Occasionally."
Su Jiuyue slipped her fingers and gently pinched his white and tender cheek with her index finger and thumb, with her eyes bending into a crescent. "Let master Huang examine you, and then it won't hurt in the future!"
Wu Xiyuan's grievance and anger were all replaced by the gentle touch on his cheek, which was suffused with a slight blush.
"Well... Then will you really buy me one more?" He bit his lower lip and said awkwardly.
With limited pockets, Su Jiuyue subconsciously turn to her mother-in-law for help. Liu Cuihua immediately nodded, who thought that with one hundred taels of silver received just a moment ago, buying a book was not a big deal! Even ten books would be fine!
Su Jiuyue then just nodded heavily, " Of course! I won't cheat Xiyuan!"
Wu Xiyuan believed her, readily rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his wrist to Huang Husheng, " Go ahead!"
