Chapter 637
"Alright, I need to go hang this painting up," Chen Zongwen said cheerfully as he rolled it up again. "Oh my, a painting by the heir of the Marquis's mansion, this is quite rare!"
"Come, come, madam, let's see where it would be suitable to hang it."
After saying that, Chen Zongwen took his wife away. The two discussed it in the study for a while before finally hanging up the painting.
——
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Xiao Chengping sent his attendant over.
Yunxi tidied up, handed the child to the wet nurse, and left.
Xiao Chengping now lives in Cuiwei Residence.
This is not the most famous inn in the capital, but it is the most tranquil and elegant.
Unlike typical inns located in bustling city centers, Cuiwei Residence is nestled in a tranquil bamboo grove, where a refreshing coolness greets you upon entering.
The servant led Yunxi to a room with a sign that read "Little Chongshan".
Inside the room, there was not only Xiao Chengping, but also several people serving tea.
Clearly, this was to avoid suspicion and prevent any gossip from spreading.
"The girl has arrived."
Xiao Chengping smiled at her.
Yunxi looked at his face with some surprise: "Young Master Xiao seems to be recovering quite well?"
"Yes, thankfully Doctor Feng has been taking good care of me, and I feel much better now. I'm not as afraid of the cold as before," Xiao Chengping said with a smile.
Yunxi laughed, "Yes, now Young Master Xiao can live in the bamboo forest."
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and quickly became familiar with each other again after just a few words.
After Yunxi sat down, Xiao Chengping got down to business: "A while ago, a lady came and said she runs a female doctor's clinic in Luoyang City. She was also introduced to her by you, Miss?"
Yunxi nodded: "There is a Yiyuantang in Luoyang City that specializes in treating women. It is the property of that lady. After I came back, I went to Yiyuantang. It just so happened that the lady also wanted to open Yiyuantang in another place, so I went there first."
"I see. With that lady here, this women's clinic is indeed not a difficult thing to manage. But from what you're saying, young lady, you mean to merge it into Yiyuantang?"
Yunxi smiled and said, "No, not at all. I just suggested an idea and contributed some money. I didn't do anything else. If they like it, I would be more than happy to accept it."
“That’s not how it works. The amount of silver that the young lady left behind is quite substantial, more than enough to open several Yiyuantang clinics,” Xiao Chengping said. “Besides, opening a clinic is a good thing in itself, so I was thinking that the young lady might also be able to get involved.”
Yunxi didn't speak, but took the teacup from the tea server, smelled the rising steam, and said with a smile, "The tea here is better than the tea in many teahouses, isn't it?"
"If the girl likes it, that's good."
Yunxi pondered for a moment before continuing, "Young Master Xiao, do you want me to get involved, or do you want the Xiao family to get involved?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Chengping looked at her with a hint of surprise.
Meeting his gaze, Yunxi smiled slightly: "Young Master Xiao, there's no need to be so surprised. To be honest, the Xiao family also contributed to this matter. As a merchant, it's only right that you want to get involved."
Her candor made Xiao Chengping chuckle: "Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush with you, young lady."
“That lady is experienced. If we hand over the female clinic to her, it will definitely grow big within the next three to five years. If we can get involved in this matter, it will indeed be a good thing for our Xiao family.”
"However, since the young lady has provided both ideas and funds, it would be quite difficult for our Xiao family not to participate."
Yunxi asked in confusion, "How could that be? Young Master Xiao helped find women in the Jiangnan region who were willing to study medicine. Wasn't that contributing his share?"
"But it's still not as good as the girl's real gold and silver."
