The physician Deng Ruhe was overjoyed to go from being Shen Qingyu's old apprentice to being Xue Juzheng's close attendant.
Xue Juzheng could tell that Shen Qingyu was unhappy, so he sent Deng Ruhe home to get his things and then to stay at his own house before going in to explain to Shen Qingyu.
"This Doctor Deng is actually quite famous in the capital..." Xue Juzheng began to speak, but then sighed.
"This man is devoted to studying medicine, but he hasn't encountered a renowned teacher, and he's also a bit of a chatterbox, so even in middle age, he's still in this situation..."
As Shen Qingyu listened to Xue Juzheng talk about Deng Ruhe's situation, she found it increasingly amusing.
It turns out that this Dr. Deng is a technically skilled person, but he is not very perceptive of other people's emotions, let alone empathize with them, so he often makes the most of others' flattery.
Before you know it, you've offended someone.
For example, today, he came to Shen Qingyu's door asking to be taken as a disciple, but he never thought about why Shen Qingyu wanted to take him in; he just kept pestering him.
"Why would you keep someone like that around?" Shen Qingyu asked with a smile.
She didn't believe Xue Juzheng would lack a chief attendant.
"Such a person isn't a bad person at heart; he has his merits. You'll understand in time," Xue Juzheng chuckled, inquiring about yesterday's events.
He went out for noodles today and only then did he hear about what happened yesterday.
Yesterday, such a big incident happened to their family at Guiyun Tower, and today His Majesty wants to summon them. He doesn't believe there's no reason behind it.
But what exactly are the reasons behind this?
Xue Juzheng strolled back to his home with his hands behind his back.
After a night's rest and drinking the medicine that Shen Qingyu had ordered from the space shop, the three little ones were much better and were able to chatter away in bed.
Shen Qingyu left the three of them to keep each other company and went to help Ms. Zhao Yuzhu with her laundry.
The mother and daughter sat in front of a wooden basin by the well, washing the clothes that the family had changed out of the day before. Shen Qingyu felt a little emotional.
"The last time you did this kind of laundry was when I was little, wasn't it?"
Back then, my family was poor and couldn't afford a washing machine, so we had to hand-wash all our clothes.
"Of course! It's also fortunate that you're clean and didn't wear your clothes too dirty, which made washing them much easier for me." Zhao Yuzhu chuckled.
Shen Qingyu bent down and rubbed her clothes, applying a layer of pig pancreas to them, her tone casual: "How could I dare to make them particularly dirty?"
“If I made it too dirty, you would grumble and complain while you were washing the clothes, and I was really afraid of making you angry.”
Zhao Yuzhu paused, her hand still: "Really?"
"Yes. You're probably exhausted and don't want to add any more work, so you're feeling frustrated." His words were full of understanding for her.
But it was precisely because of this that Zhao Yuzhu felt even more distressed.
How much have I missed out on all these years in my pursuit of money?!
"Daughter, I'm sorry." Zhao Yuzhu's apology came out of nowhere.
Shen Qingyu paused for a moment, without looking up: "It's all in the past. Besides, you didn't do it on purpose. You were really busy and tired back then."
The mother and daughter fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of clothes being washed.
Zhao Yuzhu suddenly said, "Washing clothes with pig pancreas is such a hassle! Why don't we make soap? We're sure to make a lot of money."
Shen Qingyu smiled casually and replied, "You really never forget about making money! I think it's a good idea. Tell me, where would be a suitable place for us to do it?"
"It's definitely more convenient to be near Beijing; it's easier to get materials and to sell them."
"But if that's the case, we still have a lot of work and investigation to do beforehand, we need to understand the relationships between powerful families, and we need to coordinate... We must be very careful."
In modern society, with relatively sound rules and regulations and the widespread use of social media, the so-called privileged class and privileged behavior are becoming increasingly rare.
But in this era, imperial power reigned supreme, and powerful families had deeply entrenched interests...
If things go wrong, you could ruin yourself and your whole family!
"Then let's go back to the countryside," Shen Qingyu said with a smile.
Zhao Yuzhu thought about it and smiled, "You're right, life is more important than money. We have those three children now, we should cherish our lives."
While they were chatting and laughing, Shen Qingyu heard a knock on the door again.
It's quite lively this early in the morning!
Shen Qingyu looked towards the distant corridor where the mad Taoist was dozing on a recliner.
The mad Taoist seemed to sense Shen Qingyu's gaze, opened his eyes and glanced at her: "Don't worry, it's a good thing."
Good news?
Shen Qingyu got up to open the door, only to find the Third Princess, who had previously made things difficult for her when buying the dog, standing outside.
As soon as the Third Princess saw Shen Qingyu, she turned her head to look inside and asked, "Sister-in-law, where's my cousin?"
Shen Qingyu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "He's not home. If you have something to do, you can come later."
"Where did you go?"
"The Imperial Palace in the Suburbs of Beijing"
Upon hearing this, the Third Princess hesitated: Qi Yunxiao had gone to the imperial palace in the suburbs of the capital, so he might not be able to return today. Should she still tell him?
Shen Qingyu turned around and glared at the mad Taoist.
Are you sure this person doesn't want to be a stepmother to her triplets?
Is this what you call a good thing?
After a moment's hesitation, the Third Princess decided to speak first: "I have come today to tell you something. Whether you do it or not is up to you."
"What's up?"
"The Qingping Marquis's residence has an estate in the suburbs of the capital. A few years ago, a hot spring was discovered there. In recent years, every winter, the Qingping Marquis and his wife would invite people from the aristocratic families of the capital to soak in the hot spring. But yesterday, we received news that the estate is for sale."
"Huh?" Shen Qingyu was genuinely surprised this time.
