Seeing Yuan Yao's worried expression, Xie Ning hesitated.
Yun Chan had said that his condition should not be revealed to outsiders.
Presumably, Yuan Yao is no match for her either.
Xie Ning stared at Yuan Yao for a moment, then said, "Little Yao, I'm sure you can tell something about Yun Chan's condition even without me saying it."
My purpose in going there is to find medicine for him.
His words were rather vague.
It shouldn't be too heavy, but it also shouldn't be too light.
Hearing Xie Ning say this, Yuan Yao became even more worried.
The capital city, a bustling place, has most kinds of medicines available.
If even the medicine can't be found in the capital, then Xiaobiejue must be seriously ill...
But he's still so young!
The poison has been neutralized, so why is this happening?
Yuan Yao pursed her lips, her small face tense.
Xie Ning opened her mouth and gently comforted her: "Xiao Yao'er, you don't need to worry, Yun Chan really won't die."
Although I am not a miracle doctor, I have worked with miracle doctors before, and I will do my best to treat him.
Furthermore, even if I can't do it myself, I can ask my master for help.
Having said all that, what else could Yuan Yao say?
She nodded: "Then, Uncle, have a safe journey."
Under the weeping willows by the street, the horses pulling the carts were already beginning to stir restlessly.
Xie Ning glanced at the sun: "I should go now. You should go back. Also, congratulations on the opening. I'll give you the gift when your uncle comes back."
Yuan Yao nodded: "Goodbye, Uncle!"
"Good girl!" Xie Ning freed one hand and patted her head.
Carrying a bundle, a food box, and some travel money, Xie Ning climbed onto the carriage.
The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing half of her soft, white face.
With eyes as bright as an eagle's, he gave Yuan Yao a deep look.
A strand of snow-white hair slid down her cheek.
That face was very young.
Another person whose hair has turned white before they've grown old?
Yuan Yao looked up and smiled sweetly.
The man's eyes flickered, and he lowered the curtain.
Then, the carriage slowly started moving and left the long street.
Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Yuan Yao stroked his chin.
That person is so young, is he Xie Ning's friend?
Or perhaps, was he a fellow disciple?
Filled with doubt, Yuan Yao returned to Si Shi Chun.
As soon as she entered, she saw that all the playboys from yesterday had come to report for duty.
Wang Rong, still dressed in gleaming gold, said, "Princess, we are a few servants who arrived before having breakfast. May we...?"
The others also patted their empty bellies.
Yuan Yao found it somewhat amusing.
Several adults, several times her size, actually tried to get food from her by playing the victim.
She beckoned to a passing waiter: "Go to the kitchen and bring some food to the young masters."
"Hurry up, they're going on a parade around the streets later!"
Touring the streets...
The group of spoiled brats looked at each other, vaguely recalling the awkwardness of yesterday.
In the past, although they were not as well-off as the sons of officials in the capital, they had a lot of money and did all sorts of bad things. Although they did not break the law, they had offended many people.
Yesterday, they carried banners promoting the "Springtime in All Seasons" campaign and went around the streets banging drums and gongs, which drew a lot of laughter from people.
So embarrassing!
Soon, the waiter brought up the food.
The group stared at the table full of exquisite desserts, their eyes gleaming like hungry wolves.
After the group finished eating and went outside, the streets were already bustling with activity.
Yuan Yao went to the kitchen and took a look: "How's the preparation going?"
Yu'er smiled and said, "Today's portion doesn't need to be too large, so apart from some chilled dishes, it's about right."
Yuan Yao nodded: "Someone should be coming soon."
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, a waiter came in with a smile and reported, "Princess, we have a guest."
"So fast?" Yuan Yao was overjoyed.
She straightened her skirt, adjusted her hairband, and happily went to the lobby.
Manager Bai went to greet them personally.
As the group stood in the lobby, Manager Bai smiled and said, "Gentlemen, please come up to the private room on the second floor and take your seats."
grown ups?
So he was an official!
Yuan Yao smiled broadly and said, "Good morning, everyone!"
As she spoke, she walked over.
Her steps were light and quick, her hair ribbon fluttering in the wind.
Upon hearing this, three adults dressed in dark green court robes looked up and said, "Princess, congratulations! May your business prosper!"
Yuan Yao couldn't match the surnames and given names, but she recognized a few of them.
She had previously delivered food to the Ninth Prince at Haoran Palace and had also given them food from Qianhua Palace.
She said happily, "Thank you all for supporting the business of Si Shi Chun. Please go upstairs to a private room and have a seat!"
Today, there are many dessert samples available. Yao'er asked someone to send some up to the adults.
“We won’t sit down.” An official with a mustache waved his hand and said with a smile, “Princess, we just came out of the palace and are on our way home.”
I came to Si Shi Chun to buy some desserts to take home for my family, who have been craving them for so long.
Another young official said, "My wife is about to give birth and she keeps craving food."
She heard that Si Shi Chun (a famous tea shop) had finally opened, and she urged me early in the morning to buy her some when I came back from court.
They are all people who care about their families and wives.
There were quite a few good men in ancient times!
Yuan Yao smiled and said, "In that case, Yao'er will not keep you any longer."
She beckoned to the waiter to bring over bamboo plaques, and patiently explained the names and characteristics of the desserts.
The adults looked around and bought a little of everything, packing it up to take away.
As the group was leaving, Yuan Yao instructed the shop assistant to give each of them a separate gift: "Thank you for supporting my business, gentlemen. This is a complimentary gift."
After seeing off the first group of guests, Yuan Yao rubbed the corner of her mouth.
I laughed for almost half an hour, and my lips were sore from laughing!
Shopkeeper Bai beckoned to her from behind the counter: "Princess, come here for a moment."
Yuan Yao quickly got up from her chair and went over.
Shopkeeper Bai smiled and said, "Princess, guess how much money we made just now?"
"How much?" Yuan Yao blinked.
Shopkeeper Bai chuckled and said, "It's over sixty taels!"
"So many?" Yuan Yao was both surprised and delighted.
Shopkeeper Bai smiled and said, "Gentlemen, are you acquaintances of the princess?"
Although they came specifically to support the business and each bought quite a lot, if more people come to buy, they could probably make a considerable profit!
Yuan Yao smiled brightly: "Yes!"
Shopkeeper Bai hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice: "Princess, actually, I've always had a question."
“Go ahead,” Yuan Yao said, looking at him.
Shopkeeper Bai said, "This Four Seasons Spring can rely entirely on the princess's influence to do business only with high-ranking officials and nobles."
But why didn't the princess set any restrictions, allowing even commoners to enter?
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao frowned.
They only do business with high-ranking officials and wealthy people, and never sell to ordinary people.
Doesn't this mean dividing consumers into different classes?
No, this isn't about dividing consumers; it's clearly about dividing social classes!
It's no different from discriminating against ordinary people!
Yuan Yao's face turned serious: "Uncle Bai!"
Shopkeeper Bai was taken aback by the call: "Princess, wh...what's wrong?"
Yuan Yao frowned: "Uncle Bai, in your eyes, only high-ranking officials and nobles can enter Si Shi Chun to buy our desserts?"
"Are ordinary people not worthy of enjoying seasonal spring desserts?"
Her voice, though soft and sweet, carried a hint of menace.
Manager Bai vaguely felt that he was being suppressed.
He opened his mouth: "Princess, that's not what I meant..."
Yuan Yao said solemnly, "Uncle Bai, once Si Shi Chun opens, everyone who comes will be a guest!"
Whether it's an emperor or a beggar, as long as they come to spend money and not cause trouble, Si Shi Chun must treat every guest with the same service attitude.
Yao'er didn't want to hear one day that Si Shi Chun looked down on some customer, causing that customer who came to Si Shi Chun to spend money to feel disheartened...
Uncle Bai, do you understand what I mean?
