It's absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to get medical treatment from Lao Jin.
But at that moment, Jin Zaomu arrived at the inn.
Seeing that Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai had brought a doctor to treat him, the shopkeeper was deeply moved. Chun San Niang stood up and kept bowing to the two of them.
Xu Yuehuai laughed, "We've all come from the south and the north, and it's not easy for us to settle down in the capital. Now we should help each other out. Let Lord Jin take a look at my elder brother."
"Ah Yue, how... how am I supposed to feel?"
"It's such a small matter, why are you being so sentimental?" In Xu Yuehuai's view, the most important thing was treating the shopkeeper's illness, and as for her own passing, it was nothing more than a trivial matter.
Jin Zao Mu went to see the shopkeeper for a long, long time before finally prescribing medicine.
After much deliberation, he walked up to Xu Yuehuai and San Niang.
Third Sister had seen the same expression on the doctor's face many times.
When she saw the conflicted look on his face, her heart raced and her blood pressure rose. "My lady, what's wrong with my husband?"
"Well... it's a long story. This illness was something I had since I was born, and over the years..." The doctor rambled on and on, making Third Sister even more anxious.
Seeing that the man was talking about something completely off-topic, Xu Yuehuai naturally became anxious and said, "Please take a look and tell me how to treat this."
"this……"
Jin Zaomu pondered again.
Immediately after, Qi Guze approached.
"Does Lord Jin have something he can't say about?"
“This…” Jin Zaomu gestured for Qi Guze to step aside and speak. The two walked out to a large banyan tree outside the courtyard, where Jin Zaomu finally spoke, “This disease is very serious, and it is most likely to be fatal. The reason he has been able to hold on until today is entirely due to his willpower.”
Hearing this, Qi Guze nodded. "Is there an optimal treatment plan?"
“We need some rare herbs, which are only available in the palace, and even then, they are extremely rare,” Jin Zaomu sighed.
Qi Guze was relieved. "You mean you're worried they won't have the money to pay?"
"Your Highness, even if we have the money, we might not be able to get the medicinal herbs." It turned out that Old Jin was worried about this, but Qi Guze quickly reassured Jin Zaomu, "Don't worry, I've got the medicine on me."
This made Jin Zhaomu curious: what was the relationship between this person and Qi Guze?
So much so that the prince would help him.
But these were not questions he should ask. Qi Guze knew Xu Yuehuai was approaching without turning around. He lowered his voice and said, "Tell her that you will do everything you can to help her."
"yes."
Seeing the two leave so mysteriously, Xu Yuehuai became very worried and hurriedly followed them out.
Little did she know that Jin Zaomu kindly told her, "This disease can be treated, but it will take time, so don't rush it."
Prior to this, many people said they were powerless to treat this disease, which was a difficult problem that everyone encountered in their careers.
Things are different now.
Xu Yuehuai was deeply moved and hurriedly went into the house to tell San Niang the good news.
Chun San Niang immediately beamed and grabbed the shopkeeper's hand, "Master, I told you long ago that A Yue is our lucky goddess. Look, look, it's true!"
Xu Yuehuai offered a few words of comfort before going to the kitchen to cook for Qi Guze.
Everyone has been so busy lately that there's a shortage of food in the kitchen. Xu Yuehuai used everything she had to make a big pot of stew, and when she brought it out, everyone was speechless.
Xu Yuehuai was quite pleased with himself.
"Let me introduce this, it's a spicy mixed salad."
The dish didn't look very appealing, but the fresh chili peppers, minced garlic, and chili oil significantly enhanced its visual appeal. "Eat up, don't be shy, everyone, don't be reserved, it'll be so delicious you'll want to swallow your tongue."
Amidst the skeptical looks of the crowd, Qi Guze was the first to pick up his chopsticks.
Seeing that Gu Ze was the first to taste it, everyone else followed suit.
Soon everyone started praising it.
Xu Yuehuai's food was indeed delicious, and everyone quickly devoured it all. As night fell, Xu Yuehuai escorted Qi Guze home, thanking him profusely along the way.
"You're really something, you can summon people from the palace at will."
"Of course there are connections. In the capital, connections are very important." Xu Yuehuai naturally understood this aspect of interpersonal relationships.
However, she would not seek out Qi Guze unless absolutely necessary. Given their friendship, if she asked him for help, he would certainly not stand by and watch her die, and once he did help, he would do everything in his power.
"I can't thank you now, but I can only do so in the future when I'm able to."
“Why not…” Qi Guze turned around, his eyes gleaming with a deep, active light, “and repay me with your body?”
"Ah, haha, this..." Xu Yuehuai was speechless for a long time before finally speaking, "You must have plenty of beautiful women around you, all kinds of shapes and sizes, would you even look at me?"
Qi Guze shook his head vigorously, "Women like you are indeed rare."
After chatting for a while, Xu Yuehuai saw Qi Guze off at the end of the street. She watched him get into the carriage and drive away into the distance before turning back to the inn. As soon as she got home, Chun San Niang approached her.
"Where did you get your connections? He's so powerful."
“We met on the road,” Xu Yuehuai knew she would feel guilty. “We’ll just give him some money later.”
Third Sister frowned. "Judging from his pure and innocent appearance, he probably regards money as dirt."
"Third sister, aren't you just judging a person by their appearance? How do you know they don't like money? Alright, alright, let's take care of the shopkeeper first."
Hearing this, Third Sister did not leave, but ignored Xu Yuehuai's order to leave.
She moved closer to her. "I know people won't help you for no reason. Forget it, I won't talk about this anymore. As for the future, if we lose, we've already discussed it. We'll leave the capital and retire in the suburbs. As for this inn, you can run it."
"How could we possibly lose? Don't worry, I'm fully confident."
Seeing Xu Yuehuai say this, Chun San Niang moved closer and said, "A Yue, no matter what, you and I will be best friends for life."
They both laughed.
Before going to sleep, Ah Qi knocked on the door.
Xu Yuehuai hadn't rested yet; she was currently busy embroidering, her needle flying across the fabric as she recited, "Chirp, chirp, chirp, Mulan weaves at her door; people make socks, but why do they come out wearing masks?"
Xu Yuehuai is currently preparing to make an embroidery for Qi Guze.
She was ashamed to talk about needlework. She initially planned to make riding boots for her benefactor, but she didn't calculate the amount of fabric properly and had to change the riding boots into worn-out shoes. Little did she know that the length was enough, but the width was not right.
After several missteps, Xu Yuehuai could only make a purse for someone else.
She had originally planned to embroider auspicious beasts like the Qilin, but no matter how she did it, it looked exactly like a lifelike toad. She was about to take it apart and continue when someone knocked on the door.
"Enter."
