The King of Chu was not worried at all. He knew his son well. If he was just a fool, his ambitions would probably be much greater. He laughed and comforted the Princess of Chu softly, "Don't be afraid. At this point, if Jingrui behaves too sensible and polite, it will be hard to bear."
The Princess of Chu actually knew this.
What is Emperor Longqing afraid of now
He was simply afraid that he would have no descendants, which would benefit these prince brothers. Therefore, the more trouble these princes caused, the happier he would be.
Princess Chu said "oh" and asked him tentatively: "Actually... for so many years, the Wei family has been of no use at all." She said her thoughts without any concealment: "The Ming family is dead, and the Wei family's prince is also dead, but I think the old lady of the Wei family has no way to deal with it. Over the years, their lives have become worse and worse. This time, she was also attacked by the censors, saying that she was a remnant of the Ming family and had ulterior motives..."
Princess Chu took a deep breath and asked, "Why do you doubt them now?"
The King of Chu knew what she meant. He leaned over and stroked her hair. He patiently explained to her, "You know me. I rarely fail to accomplish anything I plan. If it really fails, there must be something wrong."
A faint sneer appeared on the face of the King of Chu: "When something goes wrong, we always have to find the reason."
The Princess of Chu was a little surprised. From what the King of Chu said, it seemed that he thought that the people from the Wei family were the reason
But this is too absurd and unimaginable.
If it is really the Wei family...
Why did the Wei family suddenly come to their senses
Wei An, who was considered by the King of Chu to be the cause, was not dwelling on the King of Chu's affairs. She was listening to Manager Lin talking about the recent situation of the Xie family: "The third master Xie was released and reinstated... He had done nothing wrong in the first place. After this incident, people thought he was honest and upright. That's why he suffered and offended Cao Wen and Cao An. This time, when Cao An and Cao Wen got into trouble, the people below immediately knew what to do, so Master Xie was released intact."
Wei An smiled.
She always felt that Xie Liangcheng had shouldered too much in his previous life.
If the Xie family had not fallen so quickly, if Third Master Xie had not lost his life and future in Cao Wen's frame-up, his and his brother's future should not have started in the mud.
She owed her brother too much in her previous life. If she could make up for it even a little bit in this life, that would be good.
When Manager Lin saw her smile, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
He has been working for the Wei family for so many years, and his sense of smell has always been very sensitive. He had long smelled out Wei An's peculiarity with his excellent nose. Fortunately, he seemed to have bet on the right horse, so he paid special attention to Wei An's instructions.
In his opinion, Wei An is definitely a capable person.
After laughing, they had to get down to business. Manager Lin said to Wei An, "Our pharmacy has become a little famous this time. The prescription you gave us is very effective in treating the typhoid fever that has spread throughout the city. Now, 60% of the pharmacies use our prescription..."
Of course, this was the specialty of the imperial doctors in the previous life.
Wei An did not find it strange. She nodded to Manager Lin as if it was nothing new and told him, "We don't want the money." She looked at Manager Lin's surprised expression and said calmly, "Just think of it as a good deed done by our Wei family. There is no need to deliberately compete with other pharmacies for fame and profit. Just think of it as the prescription was not given out by us."
Manager Lin hesitated: "But this is not a small matter after all. How many people have been reborn because of this prescription! Miss Seven, this is a huge sum of money..."
Wei An's ivory fan drew a beautiful arc in the air and finally landed on Wei An's lips. She smiled and waved the fan: "Manager Lin, I know you are worried, but it doesn't matter. This is a great good deed. Isn't there a saying in Buddhism that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda? If this prescription is passed on, we will get more than just money... As a person, we should have a long-term vision."
Manager Lin understood Wei An's meaning and nodded in agreement.
After spending so many days together, he already knew how rare Wei An was. What she said always made sense. As a servant, he had to follow his superiors' instructions.
Even Old Madam Wei and the third and second masters were discussing the matter together.
The second master was a little surprised. He heard that Wei An planned to distribute the prescription for curing typhoid fever without expecting anything in return. After the surprise, he thought it was feasible and whispered to the old lady: "This can also be regarded as doing a good deed..."
Wei An wants to do more than just good deeds, he wants to do big things.
The third master pondered for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "What does Xiaoqi mean? Do you want to become famous? But our family is in an awkward situation after all, and being so high-profile may not do any good..."
It's not without benefits. Old Madam Wei smiled and shook her head: "How can it not be beneficial? Our pharmacy has come up with such a good prescription and helped so many people. Our reputation has spread a long time ago. Even when the Wei family was at its peak, we never spent money on reputation. Who knows if it is because we don't have a reputation like Rongchang Hou, who is loyal to the Lord, that the Wei family has fallen to this point now?"
She was talking about the Wei family, but the second and third masters knew that she was talking about the Ming family.
Well, although what Mrs. Wei said was a bit harsh, it was not without reason - compared to the Ming family, the Rongchang Marquis family may not have made much more contributions.
But just because the news that Marquis Rongchang lost one hand for Emperor Longqing spread throughout the world, who would dare to touch Marquis Rongchang
Even Cao An, who painstakingly designed a plan for the Feng family this time, but what was the result
As a result, Emperor Longqing got very angry because of this.
This shows the importance of reputation.
Since Old Madam Wei said so, the Second Master and the Third Master looked at each other and said nothing more.
But the third master always felt that Wei An's purpose was probably more than just to bring fame to the Wei family. He sighed and felt that he seemed to be going backwards in life - he couldn't even see through the mind of a little girl. It was really frustrating.
Just after I finished speaking, a message came in saying that someone outside had posted a message.
The third master took it and looked at it, then passed it to Old Madam Wei: "It's a letter from the Xie family... saying they are coming to visit you."
Old Madam Wei glanced at the Third Master with a smile on her face: "Look, isn't the reward coming?"
He also instructed the second master: "Go back and tell your wife to help your brother and sister-in-law and entertain the guests well tomorrow."
