Chapter 53 If You Like Me, I’ll Give It to You
Half a month later, the imperial censor arrived in Liangcheng with grain and disaster relief funds.
A month later, Yuchi Shuo recovered and sent a message back to Beijing, expecting to return to Beijing after recuperating for more than a month.
Another half a month later, the plague in Liangcheng was greatly alleviated. Most of the infected people recovered one after another, and only a few died.
The dead are gone, but the living continue.
After the disaster, the vast majority of the affected people have resumed their orderly lives.
Even the original refugee problem was solved at one time.
The Anjiu Village, which was originally composed entirely of refugees, has now become an unprecedented village where half of the people are infected with the plague but no one has died.
During this one and a half months, Gu Feixue was busier than before. First of all, Rong Qi needed an intermediary to see the doctor on his behalf, but he was unwilling to assist other doctors.
She had no choice but to accept the task and became the youngest female doctor in history.
I have to see patients for five or six hours every day and don’t even have time to drink water.
However, this treatment is not for the plague, but for all other diseases and even difficult and complicated diseases of the infected people except the plague.
Although Gu Feixue didn't understand why, after diagnosing and treating most of the patients' other underlying diseases, these infected people actually recovered one after another.
Moreover, most of these recovered patients did not get infected with the plague again, and it seemed that they had formed antibodies in their bodies.
In her previous life, Gu Feixue was not interested in medicine, but she had never heard that infectious diseases could be cured by such treatment methods. Perhaps the plague here is somewhat different from modern infectious diseases.
Of course, during this period, Gu Feixue also learned a lot about Chinese medicine. At least now she can match the level of a wandering doctor.
Not only that, she followed Rong Qi and others to see patients during the day, and had to go to Yuchi Shuo's yard to check on the situation at night. She had to get up early in the morning to exercise.
Basically I can only sleep five or six hours a day, but there is nothing I can do about it.
After all, Zheng Yannian will be returning to Beijing to report soon. Once the disaster in Liangcheng is resolved, this free and cheap master will be gone.
Gu Feixue was reluctant to give up such a good opportunity. There were martial arts schools in this era, but at most they could only teach Sanda or horse stance. If one wanted to learn the real stuff, he had to learn from people like Zheng Yannian.
"My steps are too chaotic, my body is too stiff, and my lower body is unstable..."
Gu Feixue was practicing Qinggong in the yard, but unexpectedly Yuchi Shuo showed up to give her some pointers.
Seeing that the other person was already sitting in a wheelchair but still came to ask for a scolding, Gu Feixue immediately threw a willow branch at him with a "swish".
I thought Yuchi Shuo would end up in such a foolish state, but his wooden wheelchair turned around and instantly dodged the branch she threw on the ground.
Gu Feixue felt a little unwilling to see this, but she didn't argue with Yuchi Shuo. He would be leaving in a month or so anyway.
Seeing Gu Feixue practicing her light skills as usual, Yuchi Shuo thought her movements were really clumsy.
"I'm going back to Beijing soon."
Yuchi Shuo's face was focused, and his tone was no longer as teasing as before.
"You know, not in a month?"
Gu Feixue didn't take it seriously. But Yuchi Shuo sighed and said:
"No, the support from the capital arrived yesterday."
Gu Feixue paused for a moment while picking up the willow branch she had just broken off.
"Leaving today?"
A barely perceptible smile flashed across Yuchi Shuo's eyes: "You can't bear to leave me?"
Gu Feixue widened her eyes when she heard this, as if to say, are you kidding me? She, Gu Feixue, can't bear to leave anyone, but she won't bear to leave you.
However, Gu Feixue still took the Crown Prince's reputation into consideration. She rolled her eyes and said:
"I can't bear to part with...your pair of glass cups. Once you go back, I won't be able to see them anymore."
The smile in Yuchi Shuo's eyes became even brighter:
"If you like it, how about I give it to you?"
Now Gu Feixue was really surprised. Why would Yuchi Shuo be so nice to her?
Aren’t there only two of these glass cups in the world? How could you be willing to give them away?
“…What are your conditions?”
Conditions? Yuchi Shuo seemed to think about it, then his eyes lit up and he said:
"Of course I have the conditions. This method of diverting water from wasteland and managing terraced fields can be applied in many places. If you agree to hand it over to me, this pair of glass lamps will be yours."
"Haven't I told you this method?" Could it be that there were patents in ancient times, and Yuchi Shuo didn't dare to use it without her authorization?
"No, I mean that if I have any questions about this in the future, you must answer my questions."
Hi, what is her job? Just an after-sales consultant. That’s easy.
"This is easy, I promise you. Where's your glass lamp?"
The glass cup was a treasure! It was one of a kind in the world. If she ever needed money, she could sell it and get some, maybe even a thousand taels of gold.
Yuchi Shuo saw the money-obsessed smile on Gu Feixue's face and said with a hint of meaning:
"The colored glass cup is a royal tribute, sent by the Western Regions to the current emperor. If you buy or sell it, you will be imprisoned at best, or even exiled if it's serious."
The smile on Gu Feixue's face froze for a moment: "Then why can you give it to me?"
"You have made great contributions to the disaster relief efforts. I will give this as a reward to you, and my father will not say anything."
Bah! She even wanted a reward. This broken glass cup was not something she wanted.
"How? Do you agree to the conditions?"
"I'll begrudgingly agree, but you can only ask once a year. I'm very busy."
Of course, they are busy making money.
After all, this glass cup is just like Yuchi Shuo, good-looking but useless.
"Okay, come with me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Feixue threw the willow branch aside and said, "Go ahead, who's afraid of who?"
Anyway, her parents knew that it was given by Yuchi Shuo, so they would definitely not blame her.
Besides, even if she can’t sell it at that time, can’t she still open an exhibition hall?
What a joke! She is a modern person, and this level of difficulty is not a problem for her at all.
Then she will open an ancient exhibition and collect admission fees, and be very happy~
When Gu Feixue thought of the scene of money and flowers rushing towards her, her heart was instantly moved.
She was certainly not such a money-grubber in her previous life. It was probably because she had experienced too much hardship when she first came here that she became a money-obsessed person.
Who would have thought that after arriving at Yuchi Shuo's yard, he not only took out the glass cup, but also ordered Zhuifeng to carry out a large box.
Seeing Yuchi Shuo raised his eyebrows at her, she stepped forward to open the box, and then saw a scene that blinded her eyes:
"Did you embezzle the disaster relief funds your father allocated?!"
The box is full of silver! Plenty of silver!
Gu Feixue had never seen so much silver before, and immediately thought that Yuchi Shuo had embezzled the disaster relief funds.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is His Highness's own money! His Highness said that this money was used to buy those two ginsengs you gave me."
Gu Feixue understood instantly that it was hers.
That's right, didn't they buy grain from wealthy merchants and instead cheat them? But this looks like a few hundred taels of silver, right?
If she took it, wouldn't she be worried every day?
"I don't want it. You can exchange it for silver notes. Let people know that I have so much silver. Do you think I live too long?"
