Chapter 167 The old lady of the Chu family wants to marry her granddaughter to Du Wanwan
"Miss Du is amazing. She was able to find out such a secret matter. She is really smart." Ye Zhenghai stood up and walked slowly around the study. "Baofeng Bank actually belongs to the King of Qi. This is very strange. We must quickly inform the prince of the news and ask him to send someone to investigate."
"My son has already sent people there at full speed. The rest of the matter is beyond our control." Ye Tingxiao said calmly, "The King of Qi has the money and is ambitious, so the factional struggle will start sooner or later."
"That's not what we should be concerned about. We are far away in Liang County. We just hope that the people from Pingyang Marquis Mansion in the capital will not get involved for no reason."
Ye Tingxiao glanced at Ye Zhenghai calmly: "Father, do you think that when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?"
His son's question made Ye Zhenghai sit down silently and remain silent for a long time.
It is true that the emperor does not have many sons, but it is also true that he is partial to the Prince of Qi. Even though he appointed the crown prince early on, he still blindly favors the eldest prince.
If this continues, how could the eldest prince give up his ambition to become the emperor? With the emperor's favoritism and the silver mine in his hands, the King of Qi will probably become more and more ambitious.
Moreover, the involvement of the Baofeng Bank with the Jizi meant something that even a fool could see. This was to use the power of the Jizi in the north to muddy the waters of the Wei Dynasty, and then fish in troubled waters.
The wolfish ambition is obvious, but unfortunately there is no evidence. Even if they know, what can they do? I hope the prince can find out the truth as soon as possible and suppress the King of Qi's ambition to death.
Of course, he didn't have to worry about these things. He just had to stop the Qiezi army outside Liang County as much as possible and protect the people in the county from being displaced and fleeing famine. This was his duty and he had no choice but to do it.
The father and son chatted about something else. Ye Tingxiao stood up and said goodbye. When he reached the door, he turned around and reminded: "Father! This wine is very strong. Drink less. It's easy to get drunk."
Ye Zhenghai's eyes widened. He didn't expect that just as he reached out to scoop up the wine and before he could drink it, his son turned around and saw him.
The old man blushed and waved his hand to drive him away: "Go away, go away, your father knows his limits."
Ye Tingxiao said no more and walked out.
Tonight, the Chu family also gathered together and talked about things related to Du Jiang's family.
Mrs. Chu first called the eldest uncle of the Chu family over and said, "Boss! What do you think of Doctor Du?"
"Good!" Uncle Chu gave a thumbs up without thinking, with a face full of praise, "Mom! You don't know yet? People on the street said that the strange phenomena that occurred in the Qu family in those days were because they offended Doctor Du. Later, Mrs. Qu went to kowtow to Doctor Du to apologize, and the family was at peace.
Doctor Du looks young, but he is actually very capable and approachable. My son feels that it is a blessing for our Chu family to have such a good relationship with him.
My son has already talked to the housekeeper about this. From now on, he will go to the People's Clinic every two days to collect the vegetables, chickens and ducks that the people use to pay for medicine."
The old lady of the Chu family nodded in agreement: "Your idea is good. Doctor Du has helped our family a lot, and we should give something back. Boss! What do you think about marrying our daughter Han Feng to him? I see that Doctor Du is not young anymore, and she has not yet started a family. Our daughter Feng Er is about the same age as her, and they seem to be a good match."
The old man of the Chu family lowered his head in silence, and after a moment he sighed slightly: "We think it's good, but we're afraid that Doctor Du will despise it. He is such a capable person, how could he possibly look down on merchants like us?
If he is hired by someone in the capital and becomes an imperial physician, will our Feng'er still be able to survive? You have also seen how my sister lived in the Qu family. She lived very cautiously.
Doctor Du is not an ordinary person. He will be very successful one day. A family like ours is not worthy of him."
"That may not be the case." The old lady of the Chu family waved her hand. "I think Doctor Du is a very honest person. He doesn't have so many tricks. Besides, he is a doctor who treats and saves lives. Why would he care about whether he is a merchant or not?"
The old man of the Chu family looked at my mother and explained to her: "Mom! Doctor Du's future is immeasurable. Even if he doesn't care, the people around him will not care. If he really goes to the capital, many people will want to win him over, curry favor with him, and instigate him. Over time, things that you don't care about will become things you care about."
After hearing her son's words, the old lady of the Chu family was at a loss. She felt that her son's words were not unreasonable. If Doctor Du really became successful, the status of his wife would be too low, which would indeed make people laugh.
There are many secrets in the back house, so it must be difficult to stay safe and sound.
But she really had high hopes for Doctor Du. Not only was he handsome, he was also an excellent doctor and had a good heart. He didn't look like a heartless person.
"Boss! This is just your guess, not true." The old lady of the Chu family refuted her son, "Doctor Du is a refugee from famine, born in poverty, so he may not have the situation you described. I think this is feasible. Our family has no shortage of money, but no amount of money can buy a healthy body.
If my uncle is a miracle doctor, then our family won't have to worry about this anymore. Feng'er's illness has been delayed until now, and my mother thinks it is God's will.
Only when Doctor Du comes to Liangjun City, our Feng'er will be safe. This is what we call a marriage made in heaven. "
Du Wanwan: “???”
How can this be true? Old lady! I have no need to lean on the wall to respect you. When it comes to nonsense, you claim to be second to none. No one dares to claim to be first.
Uncle Chu thought about it and felt that what the old lady said was right.
"What mother said makes sense. Should we ask Feng'er for her opinion on this matter first?"
The old lady nodded slightly: "I have to ask."
He lowered his head and said something to the nanny beside him. The nanny turned and went out. After a while, Chu Hanfeng was brought over by the nanny.
She knelt down to greet the old lady and Mr. Chu, but the old lady waved her hand to excuse her.
Without beating around the bush, he asked her directly: "Feng'er! What do you think of Doctor Du?"
When her grandmother suddenly asked her this question, Chu Hanfeng instantly understood what she meant, but she didn't say it so bluntly, and she didn't want to reveal Dr. Du's true identity.
With a slight smile, he replied, "Doctor Du is very good. Not only is he good-looking, but his medical skills are also excellent. He is a rare talent."
The Chu family's grandfather looked at his daughter and said nothing. He took a sip of the tea beside him, as if thinking about something. His daughter was already eighteen, so it was not surprising that she was thinking about love. But was it really appropriate to praise a stranger like this?
Even if Dr. Du is really good and excellent, she can't praise him that way. It's too unfeminine.
The old lady of the Chu family didn't think so. Instead, her eyes lit up: "What if I betroth you to him?"
"Absolutely not."
When Chu Hanfeng said this, there was no dissatisfaction on her face and she was still smiling slightly.
The old lady and Mr. Chu looked at each other and then asked, "Why?"
