Upon seeing Tu Wanhu, Zhao Cheng understood everything.
The Lu family had a falling out because of Lu Tong, and Zhao Cheng knew that things were going badly for the Lu family.
Now that Tu Wanhu has appeared, things are not going to go well for the Tu family.
"I didn't expect the young prime minister to have the opportunity to visit my home. Haven't eaten yet? I'll have someone arrange it right away. However, although we have many fine wines at home, we don't have the kind of celestial wine that you sell."
Tu Wanhu noticed the surprise in Zhao Cheng's eyes and said smugly.
Zhao Cheng said, "So the Tu in Master Tu's name is the Tu of the Tu family in Jiangcheng. That's quite surprising."
Tu Wanhu pointed at the head of the Tu family and said, "The head of the Tu family is my elder brother, Tu Qianhu."
"You slaughtered thousands of tigers, how much did your parents hate tigers?" Zhao Cheng complained.
Tu Qianhu asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
Tu Wanhu explained, "Brother, don't take his words too seriously. That's just how he talks."
No matter how impolite Lu Yuan and Tu Wanhu were to Zhao Cheng, Tu Wanhu always maintained a warm smile and said, "Young Prime Minister, you've seen the person yourself. This business deal really can't be negotiated."
Tu Wanhu said, "Brother, don't be so sure. As long as the young prime minister agrees to one thing, our Tu family can still offer our support."
Zhao Cheng asked, "What is it?"
Tu Wanhu bent down and whispered in Zhao Cheng's ear, "Miss Fei'er."
Zhao Cheng gave a cold laugh.
Tu Wanhu said softly, "Women and money, it's up to you to choose."
Zhao Cheng stared into Tu Wanhu's eyes and said, "Do you know what I'm laughing at? I'm laughing because it's been a long time since anyone has threatened me like this, and no one has dared to force me to make a choice. Tu Wanhu, are you going to become my mortal enemy?"
Tu Wanhu raised his hand and said arrogantly, "Isn't this about discussing business? I'm just stating my conditions."
"The Tu family, the Lu family." Zhao Cheng glanced at Tu Qianhu and Lu Yuan alternately, nodded, and said, "Very good."
After saying this, Zhao Cheng turned and left.
After Zhao Cheng left, Tu Qianhu suppressed his smile and said, "Wanhu, Zhao Cheng is capable of dealing with Southern Zhou spies and even became a prince consort. He is definitely not someone to be trifled with. Weren't you a bit hasty today?"
"Don't worry, brother!" Tu Wanhu put his hand on Tu Qianhu's shoulder and said, "You're right. He's not someone to mess with, and I wouldn't dare to provoke him anywhere else, but this is Jiangcheng. In Jiangcheng, even a dragon has to coil up, and a tiger has to lie low! With the Lu family joining forces with us, he can't stir up any trouble!"
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Wan Hu is right. He is the son-in-law of the Great Jing and the master of Yanchuan, but in Jiangcheng, he is nothing."
"Then let's go for it. Once we've made a decision, we shouldn't hold back." Tu Qianhu thought for a moment, and his face turned gloomy.
Outside the Tu residence.
Huang Hua said, "Today's negotiations have completely fallen apart."
Zhao Cheng remained calm and said, "If we can cooperate, then let them make some money too. If we can't cooperate, it's not like we absolutely need them!"
Zhao Wu drew his knife.
Zhao Cheng glanced at Zhao Wu and said, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Wu said, "We wiped them out in blood."
"How come you're just like Xu An? I said it's not that we absolutely need them, I didn't mean for you to kill them!"
Zhao Wu said angrily, "This Master Tu is so annoying with his weird and sarcastic attitude. I should have killed him outside the study back then!"
Clang! Zhao Wu sheathed his sword.
Zhao Cheng said, "After you go back, you and Ma Cong make some arrangements. Since no merchants dare to cooperate with us, we'll sell it ourselves first."
Huang Hua thought for a moment and said, "Selling retail products myself is too slow."
“I know, but we can’t stop until we find a better way. Retail sales may be slow, but we can build a reputation for our Xianjiu and daily necessities in Jiangcheng. If people think the wine is good and our soaps and floral water are practical, a market will naturally form. If the Lu family and Tu family still oppose us and threaten other businesses not to cooperate with us, that will be going against the market, and they will suffer the consequences.”
Huang Hua nodded and said, "I understand."
...
Yanchuan City.
Minghua Medical Clinic.
Wang Yuluan slowly sat up from the hospital bed, supporting the bandage around his waist with his hand and moving his arms slightly.
"I suggest you don't move around too much, and you should stay in bed for at least seven more days," Shi Minghua said as she walked in from outside.
"Mr. Minghua," Wang Yuluan said with utmost respect for Shi Minghua, speaking as if addressing an elder, "Your medical skills are truly miraculous. The doctors who treated me before said I might be left with a disability, and if I was unlucky enough to have an infection, it could even be life-threatening. But after coming to you, I recovered in just over ten days. You truly deserve to be called the Divine Physician of Jinghai!"
"My medical skills are just so-so. You were lucky that you happened to come along when I developed a new drug."
Shi Minghua tugged at the edge of Wang Yuluan's bandage and said, "Just to be on the safe side, I still need to cut it open to check the wound and reapply the medicine."
Out of habit, Shi Minghua reached out her hand, waiting for Park Yoo-hee to hand her the scissors. But halfway through, she remembered that Park Yoo-hee wasn't there today.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, a pair of scissors was handed to her.
Looking up, I saw it was Park Yoo-hee.
Although surprised, Shi Minghua didn't stop drawing. He cut open Wang Yuluan's bandages and said, "Why are you back so soon?"
Park Yoo-hee said, "I'll be back after I see the young mistress out of the city."
Shi Minghua asked, "The eldest princess has left the city? What is she going to do?"
Park Yoo-hee said, "Go find Zhao Cheng."
Shi Minghua frowned and said, "Nonsense, how can she go on a long trip when she's in that condition?"
“Zhao Cheng didn’t come back for the Spring Festival; she misses her husband. Zhao Yan went with her, so she’ll be fine.” Park Yoo-hee smiled and said, “Besides, who in the family can persuade her?”
Wang Yuluan overheard their conversation and asked suspiciously, "What is your relationship with Zhao Cheng?"
Park Yoo-hee said, "I am Zhao Cheng's sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law??" Wang Yuluan was even more confused and asked, "How old is Zhao Yancai? He's already married??"
Park Yoo-hee blushed and said, "I am Zhao Yang's wife."
“Zhao Yang, he…” Wang Yuluan paused for a moment, wanting to ask if Zhao Yang was alright, but ultimately didn’t ask.
Park Yoo-hee didn't want to talk about this, so she leaned closer to Wang Yuluan's wound and said, "Sir, the young general's wound has healed!"
"Get some more penicillin," Shi Minghua said, pointing to the wound. "It looks like it's healed, but there are still some small cracks. Although the flesh has healed, the skin tissue hasn't fully grown back. We can't be careless; we need to continue anti-inflammatory treatment to prevent secondary infection."
"I'll go right now!"
When Park Yoo-hee went to get the medicine, Wang Yu-luan asked doubtfully, "Mr. Ming-hua, is the penicillin you just mentioned the new drug you developed?"
"Um."
"Is this the medicine I use to reduce inflammation and prevent infection of my wound?"
"Yes." Shi Minghua nodded and said calmly, "Penicillin has an excellent anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect. Without boasting, in all my years of medical practice, I have never seen a drug with better effects."
Shi Minghua spoke casually, but Wang Yuluan was deeply moved!
