Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

Those who can afford to pay such a price are all ladies and young women from wealthy families.

"50 taels for the first time."

"50 taels, the second time."

"50 taels, third time, deal!"

"Congratulations to the guest with license plate number 15."

As the auctioneer finished speaking, the perfume that had been sold was taken away by a beautifully dressed maid and replaced with the next item to be auctioned.

A bottle of perfume the size of a finger was eventually auctioned off for 50 taels of silver.

The ladies who didn't get a photo cast envious glances toward license plate number 15.

The woman who took the picture of the perfume became even more smug.

You should know that ordinary people carrying heavy loads at the docks could only earn a few dozen coins a day at most.

Needless to say, those who toil in the fields for a living are even fewer than those who carry heavy loads; aside from enough food for their families, they barely earn any money.

Xu Qing was getting bored, and Ye Wushuang, thinking she also wanted perfume, patted her chest and said, "Aunt Xu, I'll buy you the next bottle."

Aunt Xu paid for their travel expenses, food, and lodging during their trip, so it's only right that we give her something.

If Xu Qing knew what Ye Wushuang was thinking, he would probably tell him the truth:

That's because your mother was worried you'd squander the money, so she entrusted it to her for safekeeping beforehand, okay? She's not that generous...

On the other side, Wu Yu hurriedly led the doctor back.

Seeing that his younger brother Wu Shan was burning up like a boiled shrimp, his whole body was bright red.

He immediately took out the fever reducer given to him by Xu Qing, dissolved it in water, and prepared to feed it to Wu Shan.

Upon seeing this, the doctor who was taking the patient's pulse frowned and stopped him, saying, "The cause of the illness hasn't been determined yet. Why are you giving him medicine indiscriminately? Do you know that giving people medicine indiscriminately can kill them?"

Wu Yu didn't care about anything else. The lady said that this was antipyretic medicine and that the temperature should be brought down first.

Although the lady didn't look like a doctor, at this point they had no choice but to try anything!

He explained to the doctor, "This is an antipyretic medicine that a lady gave me. I'll give it to Xiaoshan to try."

Upon hearing this, the doctor's face turned ugly, and he coldly snorted, "If you don't trust me, why did you invite me here? Use this medicine if you want, I'm leaving."

Having said that, he turned and was about to leave.

Wu Yu was in a real bind.

He wasn't sure if the medicine would work, but he couldn't bear to see his brother suffer like this.

If it works, that's fine; if it doesn't, we'll still need to consult a doctor.

We can't just let them go like this.

He asked Wu Tie, who had come back with him, to feed the medicine to Wu Shan, and then he chased after the doctor and ran out.

"Please wait, it's my fault for not knowing how to speak properly. We'll still need to trouble you with Xiaoshan's illness."

Wu Yu spoke sincerely.

The old doctor then reluctantly forgave him for his earlier offense.

Back inside, Wu Shan had stopped convulsing, and his tightly furrowed brows had relaxed, as if he were much more comfortable.

The old doctor was amazed. He rushed to Wu Shan's bedside and carefully examined his pulse.

The rapidly beating pulse has calmed down, and the breathing has become much more steady.

The old doctor was filled with doubt and disbelief, and he examined the patient again.

Wu Yu stood nervously to the side, barely daring to breathe. Looking at the old doctor's grave expression, he asked anxiously:

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that medicine?"

He didn't know anything about medicine, but he felt that his younger brother seemed to be feeling better after taking that medicine!

Why does this old doctor have such a serious expression again?

The old doctor suppressed his excitement and asked with the same haughty tone as before, "Who gave you this medicine?"

The young man said it was given to him by a lady, and he had never heard of a female doctor.

He knew that these country folks had some of their own folk remedies, more or less.

Besides, this kid is so poor, he probably only knows some barefoot doctors in the countryside.

Such a good medicine should be put to good use in his hands.

He absolutely had to get this prescription.

With this prescription, his pharmacy will surely become famous throughout Haiqu!

The old doctor's mind raced through countless thoughts, but he showed no emotion on his face, only staring intently at Wu Yu with sharp eyes.

Wu Yu was able to return alive from the battlefield, unlike those fools; he could sense that the old doctor's intentions were impure.

"Please examine my brother and prescribe medicine first. We can talk again after he wakes up."

The old doctor nodded, took out paper and pen, and began to write a prescription.

A moment later, he handed the prescription to Wu Yu:

"I can help you cure your brother's illness for free."

This prescription isn't cheap; your brother will need to take it for at least 10 days to cure his illness.

But you must tell me who gave you this prescription.

Wu Yu didn't take it: "Please get the medicine first, I'll pay you how much it costs."

The old doctor's outstretched hand paused slightly, and he looked at Wu Yu as if he were a fool:

"Do you know what herbs are in this prescription? Take a look and then we'll talk."

Wu Yu glanced at him. Because his younger brother was in poor health, he often had to see a doctor and get medicine.

He could barely recognize the names of a few medicinal herbs.

This prescription does indeed contain some precious medicinal herbs.

But he had his own set of principles, and he didn't want to cause trouble for that lady.

So he said firmly:

"I'll go ask that lady if she's willing to tell others. If she is, I'll go to the pharmacy to find you."

Please forgive me for not being able to say so now, but please prescribe the medicine and don't worry about the money.

The old doctor said dismissively:

"Tell that person that I am willing to pay 100 taels of silver for this prescription. Have her bring the prescription to the pharmacy to find me."

"You don't need to pay me for the medicine now. After this is done, I will still honor my promise to treat your brother for free."

The old doctor simply didn't believe that these impoverished country folk could resist the temptation of 100 taels of silver.

After saying that, he left gracefully with the medicine boy.

……

Xu Qing was unaware that her unintentional actions had attracted the covetous eyes of others.

She was sitting in the auction house, watching the auctioneer on stage introduce several British slaves.

"Distinguished guests, please look over here. These 10 slaves can all speak Mandarin."

The woman is skilled in dancing and singing; we've all received training.

The man... well, he underwent special processing by our auction house.

The auctioneer's words were quite meaningful.

"The starting bid for female slaves is 200 taels, and for male slaves it is 400 taels! Bidding will now begin with number 1."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, people began to place bids.

"201 taels."

"205 taels."

"..."

Xu Qing asked Cui Han, "What does the auctioneer mean by 'special treatment'?"

There were too many people bidding in the audience, and the noise was too loud. Cui Han and Xu Qing were separated by Ye Wushuang, so they didn't hear Xu Qing's question.

Meanwhile, the herbal medicine merchant next to Xu Qing was also arguing over prices and took the time to answer Xu Qing's questions:

"My lady, you can't miss these specially treated male slaves!"

Auction houses possess a technique that can render a man infertile without affecting his ability to use himself.

"You can have a nightly party with them, and they won't get you pregnant. Besides, the people of Great Britain are all so good-looking. Where else can you find such a good male concubine!"

"300 taels!"

The herbal medicine merchant answered Xu Qing's question and then excitedly raised his paddle to offer a price.

Those who remain are all here because of the slaves of Great Britain.

Since they were like-minded people, the herbal medicine merchants spoke without any reservations and were very straightforward.
