As soon as the three words "one million" came out, Feng Chenyu immediately knew that she had been fooled.
She stared at Feng Yuheng and gnashed her teeth and said, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You knew I had the one million silver notes, so you tried every possible way to cheat me out of them! Right?"
Feng Yuheng nodded and said honestly: "Yes, all right. It's just that I didn't try every possible means, but you came to me on your own."
Feng Chenyu was so angry that her teeth were about to break! But what could she do? It was indeed she who came to the door, and she had to ask Feng Yuheng for help in this matter.
She calmed herself down and asked again, "Nothing to discuss?"
Feng Yuheng sneered, "When someone wanted to take the drug and poison me, why didn't they come to discuss it with me?" She stared at Feng Chenyu, her eyes flashing with the sharp light of a leopard. "Big sister, losing money can avoid disaster, don't you understand this principle?"
Chen Yu certainly understood, but she had promised the one million to Feng Jinyuan a long time ago. Although her father had not asked her for it yet, based on her understanding of Feng Jinyuan, it was not that the other party did not want it, but was thinking about where to spend the one million.
"Let's do the pregnancy test you mentioned first." Feng Chenyu had a plan in mind. After confirming that I was really pregnant, we could talk about the next step.
"Sure." Feng Yuheng stretched out his hand to her, "Give it to me."
"What?" Chen Yu was stunned, "What do you want?"
"Banknotes! Or you can pay in cash, and I'll do the hard work and send my servants to carry it to your yard."
"No need." Feng Chenyu rolled her eyes in anger. "You help me check the diagnosis first, I'll ask someone to go back and get it." As she spoke, she walked to the door, opened the door, and whispered a few words to Yilin who was standing outside. Then she saw Yilin walking back with difficulty in the heavy snow.
When she came back, Feng Yuheng had something in his hand. Chenyu didn't know what it was, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She just said to Feng Yuheng, "Yilin has gone back to get it. You can see the doctor first."
Feng Yuheng handed her the thing in his hand, a long rectangular object, a small transparent bowl made of unknown material.
Chen Yu felt it was a novelty when she held it in her hands, but after Feng Yuheng explained to her what these two things were used for, her face suddenly turned red - "How...how can you do that?"
"Why not?" Feng Yuheng said angrily, "You've never been to the toilet, right? Let me tell you, this is the most accurate way to determine whether you are pregnant. Do you know how much these two things of mine are worth? The key is that you can't buy them no matter how much money you spend! These are Persian treasures. Don't think that you spent your ten thousand taels of silver in vain. I think I got less."
Chenyu once again felt the frustration of not being able to communicate normally with Feng Yuheng. Those words that she found difficult to say came out of his mouth without any shame. If she continued to be coquettish, it would only make her more embarrassed in front of Feng Yuheng. It would be better to grit her teeth and use this thing. No one would see it anyway.
Feng Chenyu made up her mind, took the things and went into the toilet, and when she came out, she handed the long object to Feng Yuheng.
Two red bars, Feng Yuheng shrugged: "Early pregnancy."
"What?" Chenyu didn't understand.
She explained again, "It means you are pregnant. It has been confirmed."
"Is that certain?"
"Yes." Feng Yuheng nodded, and then said: "Stretch out your right wrist. Since you are worried, I will feel your pulse again."
Chenyu quickly reached out her wrist, and saw Feng Yuheng pinching her for a while and then letting go, saying the same thing as before: "Early pregnancy."
Chenyu sighed in despair. It seemed that she had to choose between her future and money.
"Think about it carefully." Feng Yuheng stood up, "I have to go out of the house today. Bring your banknotes and send them directly to the account office of the county lady's house. Qingyu is here today, so just give it to her." After she finished speaking, she pushed the door and left. Wangchuan hurried into the house to get her a cloak, and followed closely behind her and hurried out of the yard with Huangquan.
Feng Chenyu stayed alone in the room, with the thing she had just used, which had two red lines clearly visible, still on the table. She didn't know what it was, but Feng Yuheng told her that two lines meant she was pregnant, and if there was only one, she wasn't pregnant. She believed Feng Yuheng's words because the signs of pregnancy were already very obvious.
He suppressed the nausea that was rising in his heart and sat for a while until Yilin came back panting tiredly after walking on the thick snow. Then he stood up and took Yilin to Tongshengxuan's account office.
Feng Yuheng was already walking on the street. It snowed so heavily yesterday that carriages could not pass through the street. If one wanted to go out, one could only wade through the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Many families were sweeping the snow, but each was sweeping the snow in front of their own door. After sweeping, the snow was piled aside, so that the road became narrower and narrower due to the snow.
Jingzhao Yin also sent people out to sweep the snow, but after all, manpower was limited. It was impossible to sweep all the snow in such a big city as the capital at once. What's more, there were those dignitaries who wanted to take advantage and get special treatment, so basically, all the people sent by Jingzhao Yin went to serve those families.
The few of them finally reached Baicaotang, and they were sweating in the cold weather. When the clerk in Baicaotang saw Feng Yuheng coming, he hurried over to greet him, took Feng Yuheng's cloak and said, "Boss, there are not many people coming to see the doctor today, but there were many people who fainted at the door last night. Shopkeeper Wang took the initiative to carry them all to the shop, and they are being treated."
Feng Yuheng nodded, "You did the right thing." As he spoke, he walked inside, through the outer hall, and when the curtain inside was lifted, he saw at least seven or eight people lying inside. Wang Lin was directing a few boys to feed those people medicine soup. There was a brazier in the room, so it was very warm.
Feng Yuheng didn't say much, but stepped forward to diagnose the patients. Most of these people were elderly people, and there were two children. They were beggars for a living. Yesterday's heavy snow was catastrophic. They had nowhere to hide, so it was normal for them to faint on the street.
When those people saw a well-dressed young girl coming to diagnose their pulses in person, they felt a little embarrassed and were willing to offer their dirty wrists.
Wang Lin also saw Feng Yuheng, but seeing that he did his job without saying anything, he did not say anything and just explained to everyone, "This is the owner of our Baicao Hall, the Princess of Ji'an County appointed by the Emperor himself."
When he said this, people were just feeling flattered. A county lady, actually diagnosing a group of beggars in person, this was something they could never have dreamed of.
Wang Lin explained: "Everyone, don't be restrained. Our county lady is proficient in medicine. The famous Chinese medicine pills of Baicaotang were made by the county lady herself."
As Wang Lin explained, Feng Yuheng checked the pulses of these people one by one, and then he felt relieved. Although they had many chronic diseases due to their poor living environment, at least the snowstorm only caused them to freeze and faint at first, and Baicaotang treated them in time, so there was no deeper impact.
She told everyone: "Don't worry, since you have entered Baicao Hall, it is our duty to treat you." She looked at the medicine soups the waiters were carrying and nodded: "These are all soups that can dispel cold and warm the body. They also have ingredients that enhance the body's resistance. Everyone drink them, and you will be well in a day at most."
People didn't understand what it meant to enhance the body's resistance, but they knew that Feng Yuheng meant that the medicine was very good, so they rushed to drink it all up.
A woman in her early fifties was holding a child in her arms, wiping away tears and saying, "Last night, the heavy snow collapsed the shack we were living in. I thought we were going to die, so I thought about walking to the street and looking for a good family to see if I could send the child away, at least to keep him alive. But no matter how hard we knocked on the door, no one opened it. With such heavy snow, we couldn't walk. Someone said that Baicaotang was just ahead, and the owner and manager were both living Bodhisattvas. Maybe we could be saved there, so we rushed to Baicaotang."
After she said this, others followed suit, with similar meanings, all of them thinking that coming to Baicaotang would at least give them a chance to survive.
Feng Yuheng was very moved by what she heard, and looked at Wang Lin with approval. She knew that she didn't worry too much about this medicine shop, and most of it was managed by Wang Lin. The reputation of Baicaotang today is inseparable from Wang Lin's hard work and kindness.
Wang Lin felt a little embarrassed after receiving the praise, so he quickly asked his servants to add more charcoal to make the house warmer, and told the people: "The snow outside has stopped, and it looks like it won't snow again, so don't worry. Although Baicaotang can't keep you forever, it can at least help you get through this difficult time and won't let you freeze or starve to death on the streets."
Everyone was grateful again. Wang Lin was polite and quickly pulled Feng Yuheng to the side hall.
"Miss, this is not a solution." He began to sweat on his forehead, not sure if it was because of the urgency or the heat. "We can save eight people, but what if there are eighty? This heavy snow has almost covered the entire capital, and there are definitely more people affected. If everyone hears the news and comes to Baicaotang, we won't be able to do that, right?"
"It's okay, don't worry." Feng Yuheng told Huang Quan Wang Chuan to put the several large paper bags in his hands on the table, "I brought warm tea when I left the mansion. You don't need to boil it, just soak it in water. Go prepare a few big pots, boil more water, and find more bowls. We will set up a shed at the door of Baicao Hall. No matter who comes and goes, we will give a bowl of warm tea for free."
"Okay." Wang Lin nodded. "This way, not so many people will faint from the cold. There's warm tea outside, and they won't rush into Baicaotang." He agreed, picked up a few paper bags and went to prepare.
Wangchuan was worried, so he said to Huangquan, "You should go and have a look too. It would be best if you could talk to the nearby restaurants and see if you can borrow some bowls. It would also be ok to pay less money."
Huang Quan nodded and followed him.
Feng Yuheng was finally able to sit down and take a breath. She was really tired after walking through the snow all the way here.
"Fortunately, it was a winter disaster. If it was a summer flood, it would be a big trouble." She drank a sip of the hot tea from Wangchuan, still thinking about Xuan Tianming, and couldn't help asking: "Do you think there will be people clearing the snow on the official road outside the city? We need to go to the camp. If we walk, how long will it take?"
Wang Chuan shook his head helplessly, "Forget about walking. With such heavy snow, it's very likely that we won't be able to walk there even after three days and three nights. The situation is like this in the capital, how could anyone in the suburbs of Beijing sweep the snow?"
Feng Yuheng sighed, knowing that there was nothing he could do no matter how anxious he was. He could only wait a few more days to see if the snow could melt. At least the official road would have to be passable by horse-drawn carriages.
The two were sitting and waiting for Wang Lin to finish preparing before going outside to distribute warm tea. Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted and Huang Quan hurried back with an anxious look on his face. When he saw them, he said anxiously, "Something happened in the suburbs of Beijing!"
