Chapter 35: One Thousand Taels of Silver



"Madam Jiang, you have done a great job in curing the Flower King. Please go to the Flower Hall and sit for a while. I will report to the Master."

Jiang Xiaoyue nodded at him, and followed the servant who led the way to the flower hall to wait for Master Chen to arrive.

After all, the owner of Hua Wang is Mr. Chen, so naturally he has to come and see it before the reward money can be given out.

That was one thousand taels of silver. Thinking of so much money, Jiang Yueyue no longer felt bored sitting in the flower hall.

Upon learning that the Peony King had been cured, Mr. Chen also hurried over.

Seeing that his precious peony was blooming better than before, Master Chen stroked his beard with joy, "Good, good, good, my flower king is finally alive, Steward Chen, reward the gardener handsomely!"

Butler Chen quickly responded, "Master, I will ask the accountant to give the gardener one thousand taels of silver."

Mr. Chen's thoughts were all on Kao. He waved his hand at him and said, "I'll leave it to you."

Butler Chen bowed and then quickly left.

After waiting in the flower hall for a long time, Jiang Xiaoyue did not wait for Mr. Chen, but waited for Butler Chen to appear with a silver note of 1,000 taels of silver.

"Madam Jiang, our master has important matters to attend to and is unable to meet you in person. He asked me to give you a 1,000-liang silver note as a reward for saving the Peony King."

Jiang Xiaoyue hoped that Mr. Chen would not come. He had been in a high position for a long time, so his temper would definitely not be very good. If she said something wrong, she might get into trouble.

Taking the banknote from Chen Guanjia's hand, Jiang Yueyue also said some nice words for the sake of money.

After praising each other for a while, Jiang Xiaoyue finally left the hall with the banknotes.

Finally, I earned the one thousand taels of silver. Jiang Yuyue was so happy that I couldn't help whistling on the way home.

After earning this 1,000 taels of silver, she actually didn't need to be a bodyguard to earn money. She could just buy a boat and work on her own.

If it were someone else, they might not get any orders at the beginning, but after all, she is also a person with connections.

She has quite a good relationship with the county magistrate's family. With the county magistrate's reputation, is she worried about not having business?

Jiang Xiaoyue went home happily with the banknotes in her pocket, and began to think about buying a boat.

To do business, you must first buy a ship. Only with a ship can you have the foundation for water transport.

However, she was not sure whether she could buy a boat at the bank, so she decided to go to the dock first to see.

The next day, Jiang Xiaoyue went out early and went to the pier.

When we arrived at the dock, although it was still early in the morning, there were already many people busy at the dock.

There were vendors, porters, and many boat dwellers who got off their boats and replenished their supplies on the shore. It was very lively and bustling.

Jiang Xiaoyue looked around, trying to see what kind of ships the porters were moving the goods onto, and carefully observing their cargo ships.

Cargo ships come in different sizes. The big ones have a very heavy draft and are obviously very expensive. It is estimated that Jiang Xiaoyue cannot afford to buy a big ship with her current wealth.

Small boats seem to be much cheaper, light and nimble, and can transport some valuable goods that do not take up space. Although the boat is small, the value of the goods it transports may be much higher than that of a large ship.

Jiang Xiaoyue had heard before that pirates were rampant on this canal, and they liked to rob medium-sized cargo ships the most, because if they were lucky, they would run into a "big fish".

However, with Jiang 깇月놅's fighting power, she would not take any pirates seriously, and it would not matter to her what kind of ship she bought.

After reading enough, Jiang Xiaoyue decided to ask someone to tell her whether she should go to the relevant bank if she wanted to buy a boat.

However, the dock was crowded with people, and it looked very busy. Jiang Xiaoyue looked around for a long time but couldn't find a suitable person to ask questions.

She walked a few more steps forward and reached the shore, wanting to find a boatman to ask where they bought their boats.

As soon as she reached the shore, Jiang Xiaoyue saw a girl of similar age and figure to Jiang Baoer squatting beside a boat in front of her, crying with her head buried.

Jiang Yueyue had not intended to leave, but a haggard woman came down from the boat, pulled up the crying girl, and cried, "Jing'er, take good care of your father. Mother will go find a bank to sell the boat and send your father to the clinic for treatment."

Jing'er looked at her mother helplessly, "Mom, if the boat is sold, where will we live?"

The woman wiped the tears from her face and said, "There is no other way. If your father can't be cured, we mother and son will not survive. We can still earn back the boat if we lose it, but if your father is gone, our family will be broken up."

Jing'er couldn't hold back her tears, "Mom, I don't want Dad to die!"

The woman pushed her and said, "Go, go look after your father. I'll sell the boat and save him now!"

Having said that, the woman was in a hurry to leave, Jiang Xiaoyue hurried over and stopped her.

"Madam, I heard you want to sell your boat?"

The woman looked up at her and said, "Yes, my husband is seriously ill and needs money to save his life. I'm going to the bank to find someone to think of a way to sell the boat quickly so that my husband can get treatment."

Jiang Yueyue pointed at herself and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? I'm a doctor, and I just happened to be looking to buy a boat. Your boat looks suitable, so why don't you take me to see your man?"

The woman was a little surprised. "Really? Are you a doctor?"

Jiang Xiaoyue nodded and said, "You are a genuine doctor. I cured the young master of the county magistrate's family."

The news that the county magistrate offered a large reward to the doctor in order to save his son spread throughout the county, and even the boatmen heard about it.

When the woman learned that Jiang 깇月 was the miracle doctor who cured the county magistrate's son, she burst into tears of joy and hurriedly took Jiang 깇月 back to the boat.

"I still don't know what your name is, Doctor?"

The woman was very polite. As they walked, she asked Jiang Yueyue's name.

"My last name is Jiang, and I don't have a husband. You can call me Madam Jiang, and don't call me Doctor Jiang. I don't have a clinic to practice medicine. If people hear about it, they will come to see me for treatment, and I will be too busy to handle it. By the way, what is your name?"

The woman nodded quickly, "Madam Jiang, my name is Yu Shuilian, and my husband's surname is Jiang, and his name is Jiang Xiaoping."

As they were talking, the two of them walked onto the boat.

Yu Shuilian walked into the cabin and pushed open the innermost door. A man was lying on the bed with a red face, breathing rapidly and with difficulty.

Seeing the man, Yu Shuilian couldn't help crying again, "Madam Jiang, he is my man, please help me see if he can be saved..."

The little girl Jing'er lay on the bed and sobbed silently. When she saw her mother bringing people to see her father, she quickly moved aside.

When Jiang Xiaoyue saw the man's appearance, she thought he might have some problem with his lungs. She walked over and used her supernatural powers to check, and found that he indeed had lung disease.

His face was red because of the high fever caused by the lung infection, and his labored and rapid breathing was also caused by the lung infection.

But this disease is not a problem for her at all. Jiang 깇月 stood up and looked at Yu Shuilian, "It's lung disease, but I can cure it."

At that time, lung disease was almost a terminal illness. No one with lung disease could be cured.

When Yu Shuilian heard the word "lung disease", she felt shocked at first, but when she heard that it could be cured, she was so excited that she knelt down directly, "Madam Jiang, if you can cure my man, this boat will be yours!"
