The old lady didn't answer, and directly asked Aunt Zhao to hand the things to Feng Yuheng: "Aheng, take a look for yourself, is there anything wrong with it?"
Mrs. Shen glared at her: "What can be wrong? I've already paid you, what else do you want?"
The old lady slapped the table and said, "It's against you!" The voice was so loud that everyone in the room shrank in fear.
Feng Yuheng gave a timely reminder: "Grandma, please don't get angry. Your health is important."
The old lady nodded instructed and urged: "Look at these things quickly."
Feng Yuheng took the three land deeds in her hand and walked back to Yao, "Auntie, look at how many of these are there?"
Yao took it and looked at it, and saw that one was from Baicaotang, there was a jewelry shop, and the other was an antique shop.
These things were all personally selected by Dr. Yao to give her as a dowry when she got married. She only thought that the three shops would be profitable businesses that could subsidize her daughter's livelihood. But she did not expect that from the day she married into the Feng family, these shops would
She was never seen again.
"That's it." Yao was filled with emotion.
Feng Yuheng flipped through several more account books. She couldn't understand the specific details, but the final general ledger clearly stated that the three shops were heavily in debt. Not only did they not make any money, they also lost money.
.
Mrs. Shen saw her raising her eyebrows, snorted coldly, and raised her warning: "You see clearly, how much money the Feng family has invested in building your shop over the years. It was written clearly in every stroke, and now the shop is
I’m going back, but I have to account for all the money I’ve lost.”
As soon as she said these words, most of the people in the room were startled.
They are all old people from the Feng Mansion, and they know what kind of shop the Yao family gave them back then. A medicine shop, a jewelry shop, an antique shop, which one is not a profitable business, so why did they lose money?
The old lady naturally knew what Mr. Shen had in mind, but Mr. Shen had been running the shop for the past few years, so she couldn't say anything.
Feng Yuheng, however, had no doubts about this and just said: "Don't worry, mother, I will have people audit the accounts. If it is really a debt, it is appropriate to pay back the money. But in these days, the people who take care of things also have to bear the responsibility for poor management."
"Also," she looked at Ms. Shen coldly, "if it is found that the actual business conditions are not consistent with what is stated in the account book, please ask mother to give an explanation to Ah Heng and the Feng family."
Mrs. Shen didn't understand: "What should I tell the Feng family? Doesn't the shop belong to you?"
Ah Heng asked back: "Now we know that the shop belongs to me? Who said that when a woman gets married, her husband's family will own everything?"
Mrs. Shen knew she was in the wrong, rolled her eyes and refused to talk about it again, but she felt guilty about Feng Yuheng's need to audit the accounts, so she said awkwardly: "I am the head of the Feng family, and you are a concubine.
The junior now dares to question me, where have I learned all the rules?"
Feng Yuheng said, "In the deep mountains of the northwest, the Feng family really doesn't have anyone to teach Aheng the rules."
The old lady also reminded Mrs. Shen: "You are still the mistress of the Feng family, but you can no longer run this family!"
Mrs. Shen was so angry that she gasped, stood up, pointed at everyone and shouted: "You are all colluding! You are all doing it on purpose!"
Feng Yuheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and just saluted the old lady: "Grandma, Aheng has resigned first. I got these shops back today and wanted to go out to check them out. I just wanted to check with my grandmother.
."
The old lady nodded: "Go! Take the maid and come back early."
Ah Heng leaned over and left, taking Yao and Zi Rui with him.
The old lady glared at Mrs. Shen and warned in a cold voice: "Don't delay Chen Yu's future because of your own virtue. If you don't change, the Feng family can consider sending you to a temple."
As for Feng Yuheng, she took Huang Quan and Qingyu out of the house as soon as she came out of Shu Yayuan. This was the first time she left the house after returning to the capital. She suddenly felt that after leaving the three-acre land under the jurisdiction of the Feng family,
Breathing becomes easier.
Huang Quan turned around and glared at Feng Mansion, and said angrily: "Second Miss, if you endure it for a few more years, we will never come back again. What kind of people are in this family!"
Even Qingyu couldn't stand the Feng family's behavior, "Isn't the master the prime minister? I can't believe that the prime minister actually has such a mistress in his house."
Feng Yuheng shrugged: "If you want to watch the fun, you have to watch it these years. In this mansion, everyone can sing a solo in a play, and they can also sing very wonderfully."
Huang Quan returned to his smiling face and said: "That's fine, so as not to get bored. Just play with them, and occasionally slap them with a whip and hit them."
Qingyu pouted and said, "Sister Huang Quan, don't just talk about beating people."
Huang Quan hooked her shoulder and teased her: "The little tree can't run straight until it breaks."
A few people chatted and laughed and soon arrived at the Baicao Hall.
Feng Yuheng did not lead anyone in directly, but stood at the door of the shop and pretended to look at the items.
There were people coming and going at Baicao, and there were quite a few people taking medicines. The little boy in the shop was so busy that he walked around. A middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper stood in front of the counter, holding something in his hand and gesticulating with an old man.
He kept talking.
Feng Yuheng and the others came closer and heard the man say: "This is a five-hundred-year-old ginseng. I'm telling you, old man, if you hadn't said that your wife was seriously ill and was waiting for the ginseng to prolong her life, this way
I won’t even give you the good stuff.”
The old man looked at the things in the shopkeeper's hand in confusion and waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not so good. How much does a five-hundred-year-old ginseng cost? I can't afford it even if I sell my house!"
"Hey?!" The shopkeeper patted him on the shoulder: "Old sir, I just saw that you might not be particularly well-off, so I didn't give you those thousand-year-old ginseng. But why did you buy ginseng?
It’s to extend your life! What if it doesn’t last for decades or one or two hundred years? Your money is not wasted! Money is an external thing, as long as you keep your life, the most important thing is!”
"But...but I have no money!" The old man became anxious and began to dig into his pocket.
The shopkeeper's eyes were fixed on the small cloth bag that the old man took out. The pieces were full of scattered silver, which together could only amount to twenty taels at most.
"I borrowed this from all the families in the village, but it's not enough to buy five hundred years of ginseng!"
The shopkeeper curled his lips and said, "It's a little less." Then he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Baicaotang's mission is to treat illnesses and save people. You can't deny medical treatment just because the patient has no money!" As he spoke, he took all the money in the old man's hand.
Grab it. The old man was reluctant and wanted to grab it back, but he couldn't grab it from the shopkeeper. "Come on, take the ginseng!" The shopkeeper thrust the so-called five-hundred-year-old ginseng into the old man's hand, "Quickly.
Go back and save your wife’s life!”
When the old man saw that he had the ginseng in his hand, he was so grateful that he didn't know what to say. He simply knelt down and kowtowed to the shopkeeper: "Good man! I kowtow to you! Thank you for saving my life!"
The shopkeeper quickly helped the man up and said, "Don't do it, don't do it! This is what Baicao should do. It's important to go back quickly to treat illnesses and save people."
Seeing the old man holding the ginseng gratefully and staggering away, Huang Quan twitched the corner of his mouth: "Is that ginseng?"
Qingyu didn't believe it either: "Five hundred years?"
Feng Yuheng snorted coldly: "It's just a broken tree root." Then he ordered Huang Quan: "Go and chase that old gentleman back."
Huang Quan nodded: "What about Miss?"
Feng Yuheng raised her feet and walked towards Baicao Hall: "It seems that there are a lot of good things here. Since someone has already bought ginseng, I will buy something else."
Huang Quan chased the old man with a smile, and Qingyu followed Feng Yuheng into the Baicao Hall.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw a well-dressed girl coming, followed by a maid, he knew that this must be a big customer, so he quickly let him in, where he sat down and poured tea. After a lot of work, he
Then he nodded and bowed and asked Feng Yuheng: "Does this young lady want to buy medicinal materials or see a doctor?"
Feng Yuheng asked: "In addition to selling medicinal materials, do you also treat people here?"
The shopkeeper said proudly: "That's natural! We have two doctors at Baicao. They take turns sitting in the hall every day, and the other one is responsible for making house calls."
Feng Yuheng nodded, looked around the medicine hall, and then said: "Yesterday, my mother had an illness, and the doctor prescribed a prescription that contained Ganoderma lucidum. It is said that the older the better, the better. I heard that
Baicaotang has the most complete range of good medicinal materials, so I wanted to come and take a look. I am a girl who doesn’t know much. I was originally afraid of being deceived when I went out to buy expensive medicinal materials, but just now I saw the old gentleman was so grateful to Baicaotang. I thought it would be such a big deal.
A medicine shop like this won’t lie to anyone.”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he quickly and accurately accepted the "I don't understand anything" message from Feng Yuheng, and told the waiter with a smile: "Go! Put the cabinet on the north side of the back room in the third place."
Take out the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum from the sixth drawer of the third row."
The waiter responded helplessly, then glanced at Feng Yuheng worriedly, and the shopkeeper scolded: "Go quickly! Why are you dawdling!
Not long after, a wooden box was brought out by the waiter. The waiter, who was about twenty-five or six years old, lowered his head, held the wooden box high, and winked at Feng Yuheng with the half of his face blocked by the wooden box.
Feng Yuheng saw the waiter's mouth shape and said: "Don't buy it."
She smiled and nodded, remembering this waiter in her heart.
The shopkeeper took the wooden box, kicked the waiter away, and then held it up to Feng Yuheng flatteringly: "Miss, please take a look." After saying that, he opened the wooden box, and a huge so-called Ganoderma lucidum appeared in Feng Yu.
In front of the two Hengs, the shopkeeper continued: "Lingzhi that lasts for thousands of years is hard to find in the world!"
"Oh?" Feng Yuheng raised an eyebrow and looked at the Ganoderma lucidum carefully, "Is it hard to find in the world? Then it seems that Baicaotang is really a treasure."
The shopkeeper was preoccupied with thinking about how to defraud the money, and did not hear the sarcasm in Feng Yuheng's words - "Miss, you are right. You saw the old gentleman coming to buy ginseng just now.
Whether it’s five-hundred-year-old ginseng or thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, as long as you sign up, we can get any medicinal materials!”
"Then how much does the shopkeeper want to charge for this Ganoderma lucidum tree?" She squinted at the shopkeeper with a suspicious look, and it seemed like he was not a good guy.
"How much do you want, Miss?" the shopkeeper asked, "You also know that thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is a hard-to-find item, and the price is even sky-high. But Miss buys Ganoderma lucidum to take it back to save lives, so I dare to ask.
How much are you prepared to pay, Miss? You give me a price, and if it's close, I'll wrap this Ganoderma for you. After all, life-saving is important, and I can't delay your wife's condition just for a little money."
If you don't know the truth, you will be really moved by this shopkeeper.
But he couldn't move Feng Yuheng, because Feng Yuheng clearly recognized that the bullshit Ganoderma lucidum in the box was actually a piece of bark polished to look like Ganoderma lucidum.
The roots are used as ginseng and the bark is used as Ganoderma lucidum. They don't waste it.
