Chapter 540: They Can’t Get A Free Pass
Zhuzhi's pretty face flushed, and she quickly said, "That's not true, Master, you misheard!"
She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Sir, please sit down. I will serve you tea right away."
"No need to bother."
Song Xubai looked at Yan Qing and Song Yanxi, his eyes filled with unconcealable excitement, "Mother, sister, the carriage is ready, let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion."
He didn't need to say much, the mother and daughter already understood what he was thinking.
Song Yanxi coughed lightly and whispered to Yan Qing, "Mom, this kid is a bad boy."
Although her voice was not loud, Song Xubai had sharp ears.
He quickly protested, "Sister, I learned this trick from you. How can you allow the governor to set fires but not the people to light lamps?"
Song Yanxi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you have any objections?"
How could Song Xubai dare to say yes?
He hurriedly looked at Yan Qing, but saw that her mother didn't even give him an extra glance, and only said to her daughter: "Yan Xi, you did very well that day.
For a family like that who eats people without leaving any bones, you can't even leave them a thread, and you can even hear a thank you if you donate it to beggars.
A greedy person is not only ungrateful, but also always feels that it is not enough."
Song Xubai nodded quickly and said, "Mother is right, so we have to go back quickly. There are still many valuable things in the Marquis' Mansion."
Yan Qing said: "It doesn't matter whether it's worth money or not, but we can't let them get away with it cheaply."
Thinking that Song Huai'en was still planning to take her private property, she said with a serious expression: "Yan Xi, you should take some time these days to accompany your mother to show your face in front of those managers so that you can take over in the future."
Song Yanxi quickly refused, "Mom, just leave the business to A-Bo. I'm really not cut out for business."
Yan Qing did not allow for refusal and said, "Just take what is given to you. You don't need to take care of anything. Every bank has a shopkeeper, and above them there are responsible managers.
Besides, don’t you still have your mother and your brother?”
Finally being called, Song Xubai quickly volunteered, "Don't worry, sister, you just need to stay at home and wait for the monthly payment from the accountant.
As for other matters, just leave them to me and Sister Zhuyu. She is very good at calculating and will definitely help you manage the accounts."
Song Xubai was so amused by his enthusiasm that he couldn't help asking, "What about you?"
"Him?" Yan Qing thought of something and said with a smile: "Yan Xi, don't worry about this kid. Now Juweizhai's business has spread all over the place.
Besides, your grandfather gave him much more than that."
Speaking of this, Song Xubai couldn't help but ask, "Mother, Grandfather has always loved my sister. Now that my sister is marrying His Royal Highness Prince Jin, will he prepare a generous dowry for her?"
Yan Qing glared at him and said, "Why are you asking me this? If you're brave enough, wait until your grandfather returns from the Divine Doctor Valley and ask him in person."
"Divine Doctor Valley?" Song Yanxi was a little surprised.
Wasn’t grandpa accompanying grandma to relax? Why did he go all the way to the Valley of Miraculous Doctors?
Yan Qing nodded and explained, "Your master sent a letter at the end of the year, inviting your grandfather to go to the Divine Doctor Valley to soak in the hot springs, saying that it would be good for his old injuries.
Your grandmother has been unhappy for the past few months since your uncle's death anniversary. He wanted to take the opportunity for the old couple to go out and relax, and ask your master to help your grandmother take care of her health.
Right after the New Year, I packed my bags and set off, just in time to meet you."
Song Yanxi responded, but her mind was a little distracted.
I was busy traveling a few days ago and was drowsy all the way, so I actually forgot such an important thing.
She asked, "Mother, did Master mention me when he sent the letter to Grandfather?"
Yan Qing laughed and said, "I mentioned it. Why didn't I mention it? I cursed for half a page."
Song Yanxi frowned, "Scold?"
When did the old man's temper become so hot?
It can't be that he is too lonely growing herbs alone in the valley and has to resort to cursing to pass the time.
Song Xubai quickly replied, "Master Huangfu loves my sister the most. He said he was scolding me because he missed me too much. He asked Grandfather what you have been busy with these days.
It's been a year, and my sister hasn't written him a single letter. He's almost plucked all the herbs from the hills behind him."
Upon hearing this, Song Yanxi's brows furrowed even tighter.
She had clearly sent a letter to the Valley of Divine Medicine before. In addition to asking about her master's health, she also asked him about who Zhuang Shihan's master was.
No wonder she hadn't received a reply yet. It turned out that her letter had never been delivered at all!
Did something go wrong on the way, or was there a problem inside the Valley of Divine Doctors?
Seeing Song Yanxi's serious expression, Yan Qing realized something was wrong and asked softly, "Yanxi, what's wrong?"
Song Xubai also called out nervously, "Sister."
Song Yanxi came back to her senses and said with a forced smile, "It's indeed my fault, no wonder Master is angry.
If it were me, I would probably expel this unworthy disciple from the sect."
Song Xubai said, "How could that be? Master Huangfu loves my sister the most as his last disciple. At most, he would just write a letter to Grandfather to complain."
Huangfu Huai naturally couldn't bear to let go.
After all, Song Yanxi was coaxed and deceived by him to go up the mountain. Otherwise, with the family background of the Yan family, they would never think of letting her pursue a career in medicine.
Even if he had to pluck out all the medicinal fields on the mountain, he would never be willing to expel his beloved disciple.
To use his words, it means, "You drove away my beloved disciple, and you come to take care of me until the end of my life?"
Thinking of the old man who laughed before he could even finish his words, Song Yanxi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and said, "When I have some free time, I must go back and see Master."
Song Xubai asked, "Sister, why don't you invite Master Huangfu to stay in Beijing?"
Yan Qing said, "Why do you have so many questions all day long?"
She looked at Song Yanxi and said with a faint smile: "Yanxi, I think what A Bo said actually makes sense.
Although His Majesty's imperial decree granting the marriage has not yet arrived, it won't be too late. Doctor Huangfu will definitely be in attendance at your wedding."
Yes, how could she forget about this.
Song Yanxi smiled at Yan Qing and said, "Just listen to your mother."
Song Xubai, who was standing by, scratched his head and muttered, "The idea was clearly mine, what does it have to do with Mother Guan?"
Song Yanxi glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely benefit from it."
Song Xubai's eyebrows curved immediately, "Thank you, sister."
Yan Qing laughed at him and said, "You are already the shopkeeper, but you still act like a spoiled child with my sister. You have no shame."
Song Xubai said nonchalantly, "Even if I grow up to be seventy or eighty years old, I will still be my elder sister's younger brother.
It is reasonable to act coquettishly with your own sister.
If anyone says anything, it only proves that he is jealous of our good relationship, and he will be jealous to death."
As he spoke, he was about to reach out to hold Song Yanxi's arm, but Yan Qing patted the back of his hand.
"That's out of line. Your sister is getting married soon. Don't mess around with her anymore."
Song Xubai asked angrily, "Mother, what you said is so unreasonable. Does that mean that just because my sister gets married, she is no longer my sister?"
His eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, then Sister should not get married."
