"Grand Princess?" Yuan Jing asked in surprise, "Does Mr. Shi know the rules of my prescription medicine? If you are not buying the health pills sold in the clinic, then I need to come to the patient's home in person and prescribe medicine according to the patient's physical condition. If Mr. Shi comes here, does the Grand Princess agree?"
Yuan Jing thought that the eldest princess would probably look down on the general-grade health pills in his clinic, so could it be said that these custom-made pills were made on the initiative of the Third Master Shi?
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Shi Chengfeng looked embarrassed.
Ming Yu understood what was going on now, and sneered, "You haven't made any mistakes that require your grandmother to come forward to protect you, have you? So you want to please your grandmother first, so that she can protect you without any principles?"
Shi Chengfeng's face flushed red, which made Yuan Jing chuckle. It seemed that Mingyu was right. If Mingyu hadn't said this, Shi Chengfeng would have jumped up and refuted it.
However, it would be a waste not to kill a wealthy guest who came to the door. There might be a chance to get in touch with the Grand Princess, so Yuan Jing smiled and said, "Why don't you buy a bottle of special health pills sold in the clinic and go back to ask the doctor in the Grand Princess's mansion to see if it can be taken. If it doesn't work, you can return it and I won't charge you a penny."
The special health-preserving pills are mixed with spiritual spring water and are most suitable for older people to take. They are used for health preservation and do not need to distinguish between physical constitutions. It can be said that the medicinal properties are stable.
Shi Chengfeng did make a mistake. Before the news reached his father's ears, Shi Chengfeng wanted to quickly please his grandmother so that she could withstand his father's anger and let him escape. So after listening to Yuan Jing's words, he gritted his teeth and withstood Ming Yu's pressure, nodded and said, "Okay, give me a bottle first. If it works, I'll ask Doctor Yuan for help."
Yuan Jing thought, isn't this quite polite? As expected, there is always someone better than you. "Zhang Zhi, get a bottle of special health pills for Mr. Shi. It costs a total of 100 taels of silver."
Yuan Jing sold a bottle of ten health-preserving pills for one hundred taels of silver, which was a huge profit. However, Lingquan Water was unique to his company and no other clinic could imitate it. Other clinics could not achieve the same effect. Moreover, the emperor in the capital city lacked everything except rich people, so the special health-preserving pills sold very well and the reactions after taking them were also very good, otherwise it would not bring in follow-up business.
"Give the money quickly." Shi Chengfeng ordered his followers.
"Okay." The people who paid felt a little sad. What kind of pills are worth a hundred taels of silver? But with Xiao Mingyu watching, they were also very timid and paid the banknotes obediently.
Zhang Zhi handed over the health pills with one hand and collected the money with the other. After receiving the health pills, Shi Chengfeng left in a hurry.
Ming Yu saw that everyone had left and said disapprovingly, "What a coward, you think you are so arrogant."
Yuan Jing handed the front hall over to Zhang Zhi and others, and took Ming Yu to the back. As they walked, he said, "His status does give him the capital to be arrogant. Of course, that was when the Grand Princess was alive. I did hear that the Grand Princess is not in good health recently."
Ming Yu nodded, "This is what you said, Yuan Jing, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. The old Yiyong Marquis was awarded the title of marquis for his military merits, so he married the princess. But the trend of valuing civil officials over military officials is getting stronger and stronger in the Great Zhou Dynasty. So the current Yiyong Marquis doesn't have the ability of his father, so he is neither good at civil affairs nor military affairs. Among the three brothers of Shi Chengfeng, except for the eldest brother who is the heir to the Marquisate, the other two are not good enough."
Yuan Jing thought for a moment and said, "How much influence does the Grand Princess have on His Majesty? What about the royal family? I heard that the Grand Princess played a role in His Majesty's ascension to the throne?"
Mingyu stood still. Yuanjing stopped and turned to look at him: "What's going on?"
Ming Yu's eyes sparkled. Yuan Jing's intention to attack the Grand Princess's Mansion was probably because of him. Yuan Jing understood his expression and said with a smile, "For you and for myself. Everyone knows that you, Prince Duan's Mansion and I are in the same boat. If you are better, I will be better."
Mingyu nodded vigorously: "I understand, I won't let you down, Yuanjing."
Yuan Jing touched his head. This man had never let him down, so he would accompany him to the end.
Ming Yu asked someone to find out what Shi Chengfeng had done that made him try so hard to please the Grand Princess. Of course, there was also a sense of filial piety in this, because the Grand Princess was indeed in poor health, and Shi Chengfeng had also gone to other places to seek medical treatment.
This kind of information was easy to get. Xiao Mingyu's men were becoming more and more capable. The news was delivered before they left the clinic. It turned out that Shi Chengfeng had a fight with someone again. Of course, it was different from the last time when he was beaten unilaterally by Xiao Mingyu. This time he beat the other person black and blue, and it was all for a girl named Shuang'er in Nanfeng Tower. In other words, it was caused by jealousy.
If it was someone else who was beaten, Shi Chengfeng would not have been so eager to please the Grand Princess. There were not many people in the capital who could make Shi Chengfeng afraid. But now Xiao Mingyu was one of them, and the other was Yu Kui. Yu Kui was none other than the nephew of the imperial concubine in the palace.
As a fellow dandy in the capital, Shi Chengfeng knew Yu Kui's character very well. If he couldn't beat him, this man would definitely go to the palace to complain to the empress. When his father found out, he would not only put him in solitary confinement but also beat him up. That was why Shi Chengfeng had to find a way to avoid him.
It turned out that the person being beaten was Yu Kui. Shi Chengfeng should have told him earlier. If he had told him earlier, Xiao Mingyu would have been more favorable to him, because those who had a relationship with Concubine Yu and the imperial concubines in the palace were all his enemies. Xiao Mingyu actually hoped that this Yu guy would jump in front of him a few times so that he could find an excuse to beat someone up.
"I've heard a lot about Yu Kui. His reputation is much worse than Shi Chengfeng's."
Xiao Mingyu obviously despised Yu Kui: "That Fatty Yu has such a thing as reputation?"
Yuan Jing chuckled. Indeed, as a fellow playboy, Shi Chengfeng had no hobby of raping women, nor had he done anything to take people's lives. But Yu Kui was a complete bully who took the words "bullying by taking advantage of one's power" to the extreme.
The Yu family originally had no status, but after the empress in the palace became favored, the Yu family rose to prominence. In addition to the several daughters of the Yu family who married into powerful families, such as the former concubine Yu of Prince Duan's Mansion, the men of the Yu family also became prominent through nepotism. Yu Kui was the only male of this generation, so naturally he was more powerful.
The two of them paid attention to the situation outside, and sure enough, the Yu family came to the palace to file a complaint. However, Shi Chengfeng was in the Grand Princess's Mansion at that time. Although His Majesty obeyed the Imperial Concubine's orders, it was impossible for him to call Shi Chengfeng out of the Grand Princess's Mansion to give him a beating and avenge Yu Kui.
In the words of His Majesty, "The eldest princess is not in good health right now. If we alarm her, I'm afraid it will get worse. My beloved concubine, I will ask the imperial physician to go to the Yu Mansion to check on Yu Kui. If you need any precious medicinal materials, please take them from my private storehouse."
The Imperial Concubine actually expected this result, but she was still a little unhappy in her heart. She hoped that the Grand Princess would die sooner. Without her protection, the Yiyong Marquis's Mansion would be of no use. So she sent a message back to the Yu Mansion, asking Yu Kui to be patient for the time being. One day, she would avenge Yu Kui.
Yiyong Hou was also jumping up and down in the mansion, wishing he could bring his youngest son back and give him a beating. Why did he have to provoke the Yu family when he had a conflict with someone else? Didn't he know that even he had to avoid the Yu family's limelight? This was because his mother was still alive. If his mother was gone, he would have to stay away from the Yu Mansion.
It was his mother who spoiled his third son. He didn't know his place since he was young. The last time Prince Duan gave him a beating, he still didn't learn his lesson. Thinking of the third son being beaten up by a kid who was less than ten years old and had no power to fight back, Marquis Yiyong just wanted to cover his face. It was too embarrassing.
Yiyonghou went to the Grand Princess's mansion to visit his mother. He saw his mother talking and laughing with his third son. The third son made his mother smile. Yiyonghou swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and forced a smile and said, "What did the third son say to make your grandmother happy? Is mother feeling better?"
The eldest princess waved at her son and said, "Don't complain about Feng'er all day long. He is the only one who has the most time to chat and laugh with me. I am always in a good mood when he is around. Look, he is thinking about me and got me some health pills. Needless to say, after I took one, I felt that it was more effective than the health pills I had taken before."
Yiyong Hou was shocked: "Mother, please don't indulge him. He dared to send any medicine to the mansion. How could you believe that this kid took the medicine?"
Can you take medicine carelessly? Especially since his mother's health has been declining in the past two years, he and the people around his mother have become more cautious.
Shi Chengfeng quickly hid behind his grandmother. The eldest princess patted his hands and glared at her son: "Why are you being mean to Feng'er? Feng'er is more filial than you. Of course, she won't give me medicine carelessly. This medicine has been identified by the doctor in the mansion. It is just suitable for people of my age to take and maintain their health."
But Marquis Yiyong still felt that it was too reckless, and he would give this kid a good beating when he returned home.
But Shi Chengfeng insisted on staying in the Grand Princess's Mansion and refused to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. Anyway, he came here often and there was his own courtyard here. After finishing a bottle of medicine and ten health pills, the Grand Princess was able to take a walk in the garden with the help of servants, which made everyone around her very happy.
"Are the health-preserving pills from Yuan's Medical Clinic really so effective?" The eldest princess herself was surprised, but her body had indeed felt a little more relaxed in the past two days, and she was in much better spirits, otherwise she would have fallen asleep after just a few words with her grandson.
"Mother, I'll ask the imperial physician to come and see you."
"good."
Marquis Yiyong hurriedly went to the palace to invite the imperial physician to come to the mansion. After the imperial physician's diagnosis, he confirmed the eldest princess's feelings and asked her what medicine she had taken recently. After she said that it was the special health-preserving pills from Yuan's Medical Clinic, the imperial physician smiled and said:
"It turned out that the medicine was prescribed by Doctor Yuan. Doctor Yuan is indeed very good at helping people regulate their bodies. If the Grand Princess is willing, why not invite Doctor Yuan to come to the mansion for a personal diagnosis? I also knew about Prince Duan's physical condition at the time. I didn't expect that after more than a year of treatment by Doctor Yuan, he can now run, jump, and play polo. Otherwise, according to his original condition, he would not have lived for many years."
