Feng Jinyuan also knew that once Shen entered the palace, the Feng family would have to express their stance no matter what.
It seems that Concubine Yun is no longer in the emperor's favor, but if the emperor doesn't have her in his heart, how could he love the son she gave birth to so much.
"Forget it!" He waved his hand, as if to drive away the endless troubles entangled around him, "If that evil woman can leave the palace alive, send her to Mingyue Temple outside the city."
Feng Chenyu closed her eyes in despair, and the sound of jade breaking sounded in her heart.
Is the Feng family going to give up on her?
In Tongsheng Pavilion, Feng Yuheng arranged Qingyu to review the accounts with Zhang Gonggong, and asked them to go to Qibaozhai with the land deed. Now the shopkeeper was definitely useless, and the things in the store were replaced by Shen's, and there were few valuable things left. She simply let Qibaozhai close down like Baicaotang, and she would consider it carefully after she finished the things at hand.
She took Huang Quan out of the house and their destination was a village outside the capital.
She had previously promised the old man who had bought the fake ginseng that she would personally visit the patient, and she always had to keep her word.
Huang Quan wrote down the address. When they arrived, they happened to see a family in the village marrying off their daughter. A donkey was carrying a girl with a red veil on her head, and a matchmaker was following her. The bride herself was carrying a bag on her shoulders, which was probably filled with some clothes. It was desolate and there was no joy at all. Several villagers who were accompanying the bride followed all the way to the village entrance, but they also shook their heads and sighed.
Feng Yuheng pulled the carriage over to make way for the donkey, and the conversation of the onlookers drifted into his ears: "It's a pity for a grown girl to marry a fool."
"The Chen family has no other choice. Jiao'er's mother is so sick and the family is in debt. If she doesn't marry that idiot, how will she get the money to pay for her mother's medical treatment?"
"Didn't you say you took ginseng to prolong your life last time? Why isn't your condition getting better?"
"Ginseng is just keeping her alive, and the prescription doesn't just contain ginseng. We can't afford other medicines, and we don't have money to hire a doctor. I think once that old ginseng is used up, Jiao's mother will die."
Feng Yuheng thought that the old Chen family the villagers mentioned was most likely the family she was looking for, so she quickly asked the driver to continue moving forward.
The carriage drove into the village, turned several turns, and finally stopped in a remote corner.
Huang Quan helped Feng Yuheng get out of the car, and saw that this so-called family was actually a thatched hut with obvious wind-proof areas on all four sides, and a cloth curtain hung at the entrance that served as a door.
This scene reminded her of the place in Xiping Village where the original owner had lived for three years, and she sighed in her heart.
Huang Quan was the first to lift the door curtain. In the small space, there was an old couple, one sitting and the other lying. The one sitting was the old man he had met in Baicao Hall that day.
When the old man saw someone coming, he was stunned at first, then he found out it was Feng Yuheng. He was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
The old lady was very ill. She struggled for a long time but couldn't get up. But she kept asking, "Is Jiao'er back?"
Old man Chen's nose felt sore, he turned around and wiped his face casually, then said to Feng Yuheng: "Miss, why are you here?"
"I promised to see you last time, and I never break my word." She smiled faintly and walked to the straw couch and sat down next to the old lady. "Madam, stretch out your hand, let me take a look."
Old man Chen looked at Feng Yuheng sitting on his dirty straw couch in a clean and fresh dress, feeling embarrassed and touched. He never had any hope that Feng Yuheng would come in person. It was a great favor for her to give him a ginseng without asking for money. How could such a rich lady come to a place where low-class people like them lived?
But Feng Yuheng really came.
He quickly told his wife, "This is the great benefactor who gave us the ginseng! He is the owner of Baicaotang in the capital!"
When the old lady heard this, she even wanted to stand up and kowtow to her benefactor, but Feng Yuheng stopped her, "Auntie, seeing a doctor is more important."
She carefully felt the old lady's pulse and found that her condition was exactly as she expected. Overwork and old age brought on all the diseases of old age. It was not too serious for modern medicine, but in ancient times when there was no medical care, it was a fatal disease.
"Auntie, let me ask you, do you often feel chest pain, accompanied by suffocation and shortness of breath?" She let go of the old lady's wrist and began to ask about her condition.
The old lady was surprised that such a young girl could treat illnesses and describe her symptoms so accurately. She nodded and said, "You are right, benefactor."
"Yes." Feng Yuheng asked again: "Does this colic start from the heart at first, and then gradually spread to the shoulders, arms, and even fingers? And this pain is more intense each time, and the duration is longer each time?"
"How do you know?" The old lady was completely conquered by Feng Yuheng, "None of the old doctors who came to see me before was as accurate as my benefactor."
When Old Man Chen heard this, he quickly said, "The owner of Baicaotang is of course the most powerful person!"
Feng Yuheng smiled and didn't explain. She knew that the old lady had coronary heart disease, but in this era of extreme lack of medical equipment, it was not guaranteed that she could survive for long with just drugs. Moreover, the conditions of the Chen family did not look like a place where patients could rest and recuperate.
"There is a medicine box in the carriage. I will go get it myself. Uncle Chen, go get a bowl of water first. My maid will take care of Auntie." Feng Yuheng did not let Huang Quan follow her and returned to the carriage by herself.
As soon as he entered the carriage, he immediately lowered the curtain, opened the small medicine box inside, and used his mind to search the pharmacy space for a while, and finally found several medicines for treating coronary heart disease. He picked them up again, unpacked them and put them in the empty porcelain bottles prepared in the medicine box.
When she returned to the thatched house, Old Man Chen had also brought clean water. She fed the old lady the medicine, handed the porcelain bottle to Old Man Chen, told him the time to take the medicine and the precautions, and then she got up and said goodbye with peace of mind.
Old man Chen didn't know how to thank her and just wanted to kowtow to express his gratitude.
Feng Yuheng thought about it, and said to him: "If your daughter doesn't marry well, you can still get her back now." Then, he took out a fifty-liang silver note from his sleeve pocket, "Anyway, I have a connection with Baicaotang. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have figured out the trick so quickly. These are my thank you gifts to you. Go and bring Jiao'er back. If she is willing, let her come to Baicaotang to see me in three days."
Having done what needed to be done and said what needed to be said, Feng Yuheng did not stay any longer and took Huang Quan back to the carriage. The driver shouted and the carriage drove away from the village.
Huang Quan seemed to understand why Feng Yuheng wanted the daughter of the Chen family to come to Baicaotang, and couldn't help but ask: "Miss, do you want to recruit more people?"
Feng Yuheng didn't hide it from her and nodded seriously: "That's right. When I left the capital, I was still young and didn't know anything. This huge capital was a completely unfamiliar place to me. If I didn't have some people I could trust around me, I wouldn't know when I would be sold out."
Huang Quan agreed with her words, "Yes, the Feng family has messed up all three shops. If there were people from our family in the shops, how could we let the Feng family bully us like this?"
Feng Yuheng said nothing more. Cultivating her own power was one thing, but she also had an idea about Baicaotang that had been lingering in her mind these days.
Due to her job in her previous life, she always feels like touching patients when she sees them. If Baicaotang can be developed into an institution similar to a hospital, and she can focus on training some professionals in this field, then wouldn't that be a blessing for this era?
Feng Yuheng has always been worried about Xuan Tianming's injuries. In the final analysis, it comes down to one sentence: medical conditions do not allow it. She has all the skills, but no handy equipment to assist her. If the Dashun Dynasty can gradually improve the medical conditions, there will be no more people following in her footsteps.
Of course, this is all later. She knows that until everything is stable, everything is just wishful thinking.
She closed her eyes slightly and leaned back in the carriage to rest. Huang Quan also followed her example and leaned aside.
But before he could get close for a while, Feng Yuheng's ears trembled sensitively.
She heard a sound, as if something was breaking through the air and whistling on the wind, approaching rapidly with strong murderous intent.
She and Huang Quan opened their eyes at the same time and reacted at the same time - Feng Yuheng leaned back and ran straight to the window, while Huang Quan drew the sword from his waist and blocked the curtain in front of him horizontally, and shouted to the driver at the same time - "Be careful!"
Just as Feng Yuheng rushed out of the window, Huang Quan's sword was hit by a sharp arrow with such great force that her palm became numb.
Fortunately, he escaped this disaster. If he hadn't discovered it early, the arrow would have hit Feng Yuheng's heart.
Huang Quan took a deep breath and without saying a word, he rushed out through the car window.
The two were not far away, and they met up immediately after landing. Feng Yuheng asked Huang Quan worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Huang Quan felt warm in his heart and quickly said, "It's okay, is the young lady injured?"
"No."
After learning each other's situation clearly and concisely, the two stopped talking. They stood back to back, one holding a sword, and the other holding a few silver needles between his fingers.
Soon, countless men in black clothes and masks rushed up from all directions and surrounded the two women.
These men in black didn't waste words, they just came up with long knives and chopped, which made Feng Yuheng frown - Isn't the standard start mode of this situation to have a few opening remarks first? She had to ask who the other party was, and then the other party would say "There's nothing to explain to a dead person", this is the right way!
The twelve-year-old girl clenched her hands, holding fine silver needles. She was depressed that the first robbery she encountered in her ancient life did not go according to the routine, and she was also wondering whether she could successfully break out.
Huang Quan's martial arts skills are extremely high, and her swordsmanship is superb. Although she can see clearly that her young lady is not a good person, she still protects her with all her strength, fearing that she will get hurt.
Feng Yuheng actually wanted Huang Quan to run away first. As long as Huang Quan was not there, she could disappear at any time and any place, and no matter how many thieves there were, they would not be able to find her. But now it was not possible. She couldn't be too blatant. She didn't want to be regarded as a monster.
Unfortunately, her small body was not strong enough, and her calves were cramping after a few rounds. Feng Yuheng felt that if she continued to fight, even if she was not killed by this group of people, she would tire herself to death. Moreover, she was good at close combat and gunmanship. In this kind of swordplay, she could hardly even get close to the enemy, let alone fight...
