CapĂtulo 2212: Chapter 2209: Gaining Fame
âTomorrow, I estimate our second sister-in-law and her family will come to congratulate us. If you canât make it back, weâll just go to the restaurant for a meal,â Ye Muyu said.
Chu Heng shook his head helplessly, âI really canât come back. Thereâs an exam tomorrow, and the official newspaper is short-handed recently, we need to find some people to help.â
âNo problem, we see each other often anyway. Next time you have a break, we can arrange to get together.â Ye Muyu didnât want to make it difficult for him. Since they were going to a restaurant, there was no need to prepare at the residence, which made things much simpler.
She could also enjoy a visit to the restaurant.
âMy book âSeeking Medical Adviceâ is also finished. Can you take a look at it for me?â Ye Muyu remembered this matter and got up quickly to find the manuscript.
She handed him a draft, which still had some revisions. To publish it, it needed to be copied again.
Ye Muyu was really busy and didnât have time to copy it herself, so she planned to get someone from the bookstore to organize it for her tomorrow.
This time, the content was more extensive than before.
It was a full one hundred thousand words.
There were quite a few real-life cases involved.
It also included details about symptoms of illnesses, how to be cautious about diseases, and especially the importance of boiling water before drinking. All these small details were meticulously included.
It was a novel that combined storytelling with case studies.
âThe cases inside are based on reality, written with the real experiences from Lu Sangqi and Physician-in-Chief Lu. Some of the emergency treatment methods described are actually useful.â
âLu Yizheng also consulted many Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Hospital, so I wrote at the end which treatment methods came from which Imperial Physician as a token of gratitude for their cooperation.â
Chu Heng read for two quarters of an hour before finishing it.
After reading, he suddenly pulled Ye Muyu into his arms, kissing her forehead, his head buried in her neck, a moment of unexpected vulnerability: âAh Yu, I pray to Heaven for you to live a lifetime free of illness and disaster, happy and blissful.â
âWhy did you suddenly say that?â Ye Muyu embraced his waist in return, her eyes smiling, âIf thatâs your wish, then I too pray to Heaven, that you remain healthy and with me in this life, the next life, and the life after thatâŠâ
âAlright.â Chu Heng took a deep breath, gently kissing her neck.
Ye Muyu patted his back, soothing him gently.
While writing âSeeking Medical Adviceâ, she often came across incurable illnesses. When someone dies, itâs like a light extinguished. Once theyâre gone, everything disappears. Perhaps in a few decades, the world wonât even know of the personâs existence or remember her face.
Nor know her life.
Chu Heng, having seen it, unexpectedly felt a pang of sadness.
In fact, Ye Muyu wrote so honestly, making everyone pay more attention to life, because as long as youâre alive, anything is possible.
âTomorrow Iâll send this novel to the palace. As for the acknowledgment at the end you mentioned, itâs well done. I imagine when the storytellers finish the tale, the Imperial Physicians you thanked will be renowned throughout Great Chu.â
As Ye Muyuâs novel would also be serialized in the official newspaper.
So of course, it would become famous throughout Great Chu.
Ye Muyu smiled proudly, âAt the time when I sought help from Physician-in-Chief Lu, quite a few Imperial Physicians in the Imperial Hospital were waiting to see me fail, thinking I was just playing around. They thought my previous Imperial Examination Path was just sensationalism. Iâm looking forward to them being envious, jealous, and full of regret then.â
âYouâre really mischievous.â Chu Heng saw through her playful little thoughts, feeling a bit helpless.
