Manager Zhou's expression changed, and he secretly glanced at Han Yu'an. He guessed that Han Yu'an couldn't understand either, so he became bolder.
"To be honest, I have a strange fetish: I need a woman with me every night, otherwise I can't sleep and my whole body feels itchy and uncomfortable."
Han Yu'an rolled his eyes. There are all sorts of birds in this big forest.
Cui Yulu chuckled softly, without saying anything more.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Manager Zhou became anxious again, wondering if he was really beyond help.
"Little miracle doctor, don't stay silent! Is there any cure for my illness?"
Manager Zhou was sweating profusely. What would happen to his beautiful women if something were to happen to him?
Cui Yulu found his anxious look amusing, but she also saw it as a good opportunity to make money.
Presumably, the people Manager Zhou knows must be high-ranking officials and nobles, and each of them should have several confidantes or concubines, so kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac medicines should be what they need.
"Manager Zhou, do you have many people like this around you?"
Manager Zhou was taken aback by her question. What kind of question was this? He was too embarrassed to ask everyone individually, but he had heard that several people around him were indeed having disagreements with the women in their families.
"What does the little miracle doctor mean by this?"
"To be honest, I do have a recipe here that can meet the needs of all of you, but the price is a bit high. Are you willing to take it?"
When Manager Zhou heard that there was a cure, he was overjoyed, and the fat on his face trembled with happiness.
“Little miracle doctor, as long as you can get the medicine, I guarantee I won’t have to worry about selling it.”
"Okay, I'll read the prescription to you now. You can go get the medicine yourself, and then just follow my instructions to decoct it."
Shopkeeper Zhou happily took out the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone he had prepared beforehand, ready to take notes.
This little miracle doctor is great in every way, it's just a pity he can't write.
"Prepared Rehmannia root 8 qian, Cornus officinalis fruit 4 qian, Dioscorea opposita fruit 4 qian, Alisma plantago-aquatica, Poria cocos, Moutan bark..."
"Take it for seven days, then I'll check on the situation and see if I need to add any other prescriptions."
Shopkeeper Zhou respectfully and carefully put the prescription into his pocket, then took out a one-hundred-tael silver note from his purse and placed it in Cui Yulu's hand.
"This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it, little miracle doctor. But do you need treatment for my condition of itching all over my body since I don't have a woman around?"
Cui Yulu took the silver note and put it directly into her pocket.
"No need for treatment, just take care of your health and do what you can. After all, it's good to do things that make you happy in this life, but don't be too obsessed with women."
Having said all that, Han Yu'an behind him immediately darkened his face. What kind of ridiculous suggestion was this? He didn't quite understand.
"Then I'll take the little miracle doctor's good words and start trying to control myself from tonight, and try to get rid of this habit as soon as possible."
"Well, goodbye. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll come back in a week. If I don't, you can come to Linshui Village to find me."
Manager Zhou listened carefully to her words, wishing he could hear and remember every single one.
Before leaving, Manager Zhou didn't forget to say to Cui Yulu, "Little Divine Doctor, if you ever have a change of heart, come find me. I'll introduce you to the sons of high-ranking officials and nobles."
Cui Yulu waved her hand, saying that she really couldn't afford the man next to Manager Zhou.
As Manager Zhou turned around with satisfaction, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and couldn't help but tighten his clothes. It seemed that he should take the medicine as soon as possible and get his body in good condition.
Han Yu'an, his face grim, remained silent, watching Cui Yulu's joyful face as he simply followed behind her in a daze.
"You're that happy?"
"Why wouldn't you be happy if you made money? One hundred taels! How much rice could that buy?"
Cui Yulu smiled even more happily, never expecting that she could actually make money through her own abilities.
I must buy some offerings for the big koi carp later, after all, it is all a gift from it.
"So what are your thoughts on what Manager Zhou just said?"
"I didn't think much about it. What good people could he possibly have around him? They're all just men with three wives and four concubines. I don't want that."
Upon hearing this, Han Yu'an's previously gloomy face finally broke into a smile.
A pair of large hands stroked her hair; she looked just like a soft little rabbit.
"Would you like some candied hawthorns? I'll buy you some."
Cui Yulu shook her purse; it contained quite a bit of silver.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal."
As she spoke, she grabbed Han Yu'an's arm and led him to the candied hawthorn stall. The owner was a young man in his twenties, and a little girl was sitting next to him. She looked to be about four or five years old and had delicate features. Because of the cold weather, her clothes were a bit thin, and her little nose was red from the cold, but she still sat quietly by her father's side without making a fuss.
I want two candied hawthorns.
As he spoke, he took out five coins from his purse and handed them to the shopkeeper. Suddenly, the sound of galloping hooves came from the road. The crowd scattered, but the horse was startled and charged straight towards Cui Yulu and her companions.
Han Yu'an shielded her in his arms and quickly ran to the side. Although both of them fell, Cui Yulu was not hurt at all.
Cui Yulu got up and saw that the once bustling street had suddenly become quiet, with those injured by the horse lying on the ground groaning.
The candied hawthorn berries had fallen to the ground, covered in mud, and were clearly no longer edible.
The little girl, who had been sitting peacefully just moments before, was also knocked down by the carriage, her forehead bleeding from the impact.
The surrounding vegetable stalls were also overturned, and the people dared not speak out against their anger.
Are you alright?
