Chapter 631 Is this the current Fourth Prince?
"No, no, I dare not. This item can be given to the Fourth Prince, which is considered to be the best use of it."
The Fourth Master waved his hand and said, "Yinzhen, I am being presumptuous. I have an urgent need for the snow lotus from the Western Regions. Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your generosity. However, you must accept the silver."
Old Xu was stunned for a moment before saying, "In that case, I'd better obey your command. I spent 300,000 taels to buy this Western Region Snow Lotus. Now only half of it is left, and it's also somewhat damaged. You can pay 100,000 taels."
Look at the Fourth Master’s resolute attitude, Old Xu said at the right time.
"Thank you. If you have any questions from now on, please don't hesitate to ask me." The Fourth Master continued, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you."
Elder Xu had been waiting for these words for a long time. Suddenly, he was a little excited. With trembling hands, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, please speak."
The Fourth Master frowned and said, "Mr. Xu, I heard that your wife had a chronic illness. Was it that Fourth Young Master who cured her?"
When Old Xu mentioned this, he smiled and said, "It was the Fourth Young Master's superb medical skills that helped to cure him. Is this true?"
Elder Xu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then immediately shook his head: "No, no, no, this is just a rumor, Your Highness, please don't believe it. My wife's chronic illness has indeed not been cured for many years, but she has not been able to find the Western Region Snow Lotus, so she has been delayed."
After a pause, he continued, "The Fourth Young Master is a kindhearted man. He couldn't bear to see me so anxious, so he sold me this Western Region Snow Lotus at a low price. Actually, I only spent 300,000 taels of silver to buy this Western Region Snow Lotus. It was truly a kind act of the Fourth Young Master. However, the Madam's illness was not caused by the Fourth Young Master. Actually, I have never heard that the Fourth Young Master has any medical skills."
The Fourth Master nodded. "So, the rumor that this Fourth Young Master is a master of medicine is a misunderstanding?"
Old Xu nodded, then shook his head, saying, "It's really hard to say. After all, the Fourth Young Master has a lot of medicinal herbs in his house, so maybe he really does have medical skills."
Elder Meng also said, "I haven't seen the Fourth Young Master demonstrate his medical skills. He seems to be extremely busy. He always leaves after the auction. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him in the past two days. The other two young masters of the Luo family didn't come either."
The Fourth Master tapped his fingers on the table twice. Seeing the two elders across from him still staring at him intently with bated breath, he finally stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you both for this. I'm truly sorry for offending you today. It was Yinzhen who was reckless."
"Fourth Prince, this is a serious statement." said Old Master Xu.
"Yes, yes." Mr. Meng nodded in agreement.
The Fourth Master didn't stay long. He exchanged a few words with the two of them and then said goodbye.
Looking at the Fourth Master's back, both Old Xu and Old Meng were a little frightened, but they couldn't help but look at him again and again out of curiosity.
"Is this the current Fourth Prince?" said Old Master Xu.
Elder Meng nodded. "Yes, that's right. They say the Fourth Prince is young and promising. Seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary."
Old Xu: "Well, he is truly incomparable to any other young man. Look at my own son, he is clearly the same age, so why is there such a huge difference?"
As he looked at them, Old Xu couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought that this Fourth Prince was so handsome. I've heard that the Fourth Prince is an excellent martial artist, but I never thought he was also so handsome."
Elder Meng glanced at him, then turned and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Are you planning to marry Yan'er to the Fourth Prince again?"
Upon hearing this, Old Xu immediately shook his head. "No, no, it's impossible. I heard that the Fourth Prince has a concubine who is not only stunningly beautiful, but also extremely resourceful. Even the first wife and the Fourth Prince's most favored concubine couldn't compare to her favor. And now, she's given birth to four children in one go. How can Yan'er, with her brains, compete with hers?"
Elder Meng nodded after hearing this. "Well, just understand. It's said that when the Fourth Prince goes out, his carriage is filled with purses and handkerchiefs, comparable to Pan An's parade. There are countless young ladies who are attracted to him. Isn't the second daughter of the Guarjia family one of them? Yet, no one dares to send a girl to his mansion. Why do you think that is?"
Xu Lao came over and asked: "Why?"
Mr. Meng: "They are all afraid of that concubine."
Upon hearing this, Old Xu nodded. "I'm afraid too. Competing for favor with someone like this would only bring suffering to the child. Even if the Fourth Master is a good man, he won't be allowed to marry."
As he spoke, he tutted his tongue twice and added, "Speaking of which, the Fourth Young Master is still better. It's just a pity that the Fourth Young Master already has a wife. Alas, it's true that every generation has talented people. The young men of this generation are truly outstanding."
Mr. Meng nodded in agreement: "Who says it's not?"
......
"Master, I've been having a smooth journey in finding medicine recently. I didn't expect to find Snow Lotus today. The Second Prince's condition can be controlled now."
The Fourth Master rubbed his brows and nodded, saying, "We'll hold on for a while, but you still have to keep an eye on this Fourth Young Master. Since he was able to buy the snow lotus from Old Xu at a low price, he must have more on him. I must meet this person."
"yes!"
Several people around him immediately clasped their fists in response.
After the Fourth Master finished speaking, Buyan and Heifeng on the opposite side did not retreat. The Fourth Master looked up in confusion and said, "What? Is there anything else?"
Heifeng and the others exchanged glances, and finally Heifeng came forward and said, "Master, this silver..."
The Fourth Master was stunned. "How much silver did Mr. Xu say this Western Region Snow Lotus cost?"
"Three hundred thousand taels." Before Heifeng could say anything, Buyan replied, then added, "Master, it was originally 150,000 taels, but Old Xu said he would only take 100,000 taels. However, we don't even have that 100,000 taels now."
Not to mention 150,000 taels, they can't even come up with 10,000 taels now.
Fourth Master: "...Why are you all so discouraged? When have I ever been short of money from you? Wait, I'll give it to you later. A few hundred thousand taels is no problem for me."
The servants around looked at each other, and finally Su Peisheng laughed dryly and said, "Master, have you been to the warehouse recently?"
The Fourth Master frowned. "Why? Could my warehouse be empty?"
Su Peisheng silently shut up and stopped talking.
The Fourth Master glanced at their faces, frowned, and got off the carriage. Without a moment's rest, he turned around and went into his warehouse.
The shelves that used to be packed were now mostly empty, and the few that remained were items he despised. After walking around, the Fourth Master frowned.
"Where's the stuff?"
Su Peisheng swallowed hard and said, "Master, there are some things in this storehouse that you think are good. Send them all to Concubine Fujin."
