Feng Yu Heng suddenly began giggling, "Father, I am your daughter. Why is it that when I say something, it's as though you are facing a great enemy?" She pretended to look carefully: "Ah, there is a drop of sweat on your forehead. Is father feeling hot?" While saying this, she moved her hand and pulled open the curtains on both sides of the carriage. After thinking a little, she also pulled open the curtain in front of the carriage. Today, it was a northern wind that blew straight in, causing Feng Jin Yuan's lips to turn purple from the cold.
"What are you doing? Quickly put down the curtain. "
She, however, did not feel anything. It was as though she did not feel the wind blowing on her face, but her face was as cold as the wind.
"Heng Cheng has a question that she would like to ask father." Facing the wind, her voice was like flowing water, "If eldest princess Kang Yi brought up wanting to take a look at Heng Heng Cheng's steel furnace, would father also happily agree and accompany her like you did today?"
Feng Jin Yuan's teeth chattered. Hearing her ask this, he quickly said: "Of course not! The production of steel is related to the fate of Dashun. How could father be so foolish? "
"Oh." She nodded, "I am indeed foolish right now. It's good that father knows."
"What foolish right now?" Feng Jin Yuan was nearly dazed by her words, "Hundred Herb Hall is nothing more than a place to do business. What is wrong with going to take a look? The streets are filled with people coming and going. Who would not take a look inside! "
"Un." She pondered a little, "That's also true. Since father said to just take a look, we will just take a look." Saying this, she leaned back in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.
Feng Jin Yuan was so angry that there was nothing he could do. He simply got up and put down the curtain. Only then did he feel a bit warmer.
Less than an hour later, the carriage stopped. Feng Yu Heng opened her eyes the moment the carriage stopped, giving Feng Jin Yuan a fright.
"You're clearly awake, yet you're still pretending to be asleep." He could not help but scold her.
But Feng Yu Heng told him seriously, "Father, you're wrong. I'm really asleep. This is a skill I learned in the deep mountains of the northwest. No matter how deep I sleep, as long as there's a slight change in my surroundings, I'll wake up immediately. Otherwise, perhaps her daughter and Zi Rui would have already been eaten by the wild bears in the mountains until not even their bones remained. This is the experience that father has bestowed upon his children. Heng thanks father. "After she finished speaking, she lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. Huang Quan followed her.
Feng Jin Yuan vowed that when he returned to the manor, he would never again sit in the same carriage as Feng Yu Heng, thus when he exited the carriage, he quietly told the servant at his side: "Quickly return to the manor and bring another carriage."
The servant had been sitting outside with the driver the entire time. Although he did not understand why another carriage had to be brought over, seeing Feng Jin Yuan's ugly expression, he immediately understood. Perhaps the second young miss did not give the master a good look. She couldn't help but admire Feng Yu Heng in her heart. It was the first time she had seen such an awesome young lady.
Feng Jin Yuan got out of the carriage and headed straight for Kang Yi and Ru Jia's carriage. Ru Jia had already gotten out of the carriage. When he went over, he was just in time to personally help Kang Yi out.
Kang Yi magnanimously said to him: "Many thanks, Lord Feng." Between her brows, however, there was a hint of charm that only Feng Jin Yuan could see.
Feng Jin Yuan's self-confidence was immediately restored. He no longer thought about the mockery and shock that he had just received from Feng Yu Heng. Happily, he began to introduce the place to Kang Yi, saying: "This is Hundred Herb Hall. The neighboring Hundred Herb Hall is also opened by Hundred Herb Hall. Look at the people lining up. There are so many of them every day. Who knew that there would still be people coming during the new year."
Kang Yi looked in the direction that he was pointing. Sure enough, there were many people lining up in front of a small medicinal restaurant. The people lined up while chatting. All of them had smiles on their faces, and it was very joyous.
Looking again at Hundred Herb Hall, there was also an endless stream of people going in and out. It was completely unaffected by the new year.
Kang Yi saw Feng Yu Heng standing in front of Hundred Herb Hall, and people immediately came out to greet her. They all called her boss, and Feng Yu Heng would also give them some money as a tip.
She walked forward and arrived at Feng Yu Heng's side. With a generous smile, she said: "I heard long ago that county princess Ji 'an runs a Hundred Herb Hall, and the business is very good. Now that I've seen it, it really is the case. It must be known that in our Qian Zhou, once the new year arrives, the business of the medicine shops will definitely be closed because nobody will come to buy medicine during the new year. "
Feng Yu Heng turned her head to look at her. She saw that Kang Yi's gaze was sincere, and she could not see the slightest bit of unorthodox thoughts. She was indeed praising her Hundred Herb Hall. She smiled and replied: "Getting sick does not matter what year it is. The people of Dashun are not that particular. If they get sick, they will come to see a doctor and buy medicine. It's not good to just stay at home and wait."
"Un." Kang Yi nodded and said: "County princess is extremely correct. On this point, the people of Qian Zhou are too stubborn."
Feng Jin Yuan stood to the side and listened to the two speak peacefully. He could not help but let out a sigh of relief. He really wanted to ask Feng Yu Heng to invite eldest princess inside to sit, but when the words reached his lips, he could not bring himself to say them. If Feng Yu Heng refused in front of Kang Yi, he truly would not be able to back down.
Fortunately, Feng Yu Heng did not make things difficult for him this time. Before he could say anything, she took the initiative to invite them: "Eldest princess came for my Hundred Herb Hall. Since you have already arrived at the entrance, don't just stand there. Heng Zheng will bring you in to take a look."
Kang Yi quickly said: "Alright! Many thanks county princess. "
"No need for thanks." After she finished speaking, she took the lead and walked forward.
Ru Jia looked at Hundred Herb Hall and did not think much of it. While walking, she said: "In our Qian Zhou, there is a very famous medicine hall called Shun An Hall. Although it does not seem to have this many patients, the reason why there are so many people here is because Dashun itself is larger than Qian Zhou. The reason why our Shun An Hall is famous is because they have a strange medicine."
"Oh?" Feng Jin Yuan became interested, "Strange medicine?"
"That's right." Seeing someone ask, Ru Jia became even more excited, "The medicine in the snowy regions is much more mysterious than the medicine in the central plains. When you people in Dashun fall ill, you still drink those bitter medical soups, but our Qian Zhou has ice pills."
Hearing her mention ice pills, Feng Yu Heng also became a little interested. She could not help but look over.
Ru Jia seemed to have received some encouragement, saying: "It's just that the medicine is boiled first. It's very thick, and it's rolled into a very, very small pill shape. Then it's covered with a thin layer of ice. When it's eaten, it can be directly swallowed with water. It won't be bitter in the slightest. "
Feng Yu Heng's mind was moved. This idea was very good. It could be seen that Qian Zhou really did have people with good ideas. She pondered to herself. She did not know if this could be considered the prototype of a sugar-coated capsule. Although there were many differences in the method, the original intention was very similar. In this sort of era, this was already very rare.
She praised: "Qian Zhou's medicine masters really are talented."
Ru Jia was very happy; however, Kang Yi helplessly shook her head, "I heard long ago that county princess' Hundred Herb Hall has medicine that is even more amazing than Qian Zhou's ice pills. County princess, please don't make fun of us."
"I'm not making fun of you." Feng Yu Heng spoke with a rare bit of sincerity: "I am indeed admiring that medicine master for being able to think of such a wonderful method. If there is a chance to meet in the future, I will definitely ask for advice."
While they spoke, the group entered Hundred Herb Hall. Wang Lin quickly went forward and led them to a corner of the hall where they could rest. He then ordered someone to prepare some tea. After that, he obediently stood behind Feng Yu Heng with his hands at his side.
Just as everyone sat down, someone happened to come to the counter to buy medicine. Ru Jia watched as that person pulled out a banknote and handed it to the gentleman behind the counter. He then received a small, strange, plate-like object from the gentleman's hand. She could not help but be stunned: "Do the people of Dashun have a habit of using banknotes to buy things? Just how much does medicine cost? Could it be that you have banknotes for small amounts? "
Wang Lin took the initiative to explain for her: "Replying to princess, Dashun does not have banknotes for small amounts. The banknote that young master took out should be a large amount of 100 taels."
"100 taels?" It was not just Ru Jia. This time, even Kang Yi was shocked. She asked Wang Lin: "What kind of medicine costs 100 taels?"
Wang Lin said: "It's a medicine for children to reduce fever. It reduces fever quickly, has no side effects, and does not irritate the stomach. It is most suitable for children under the age of three. Our boss has named this medicine Shu Lean an. " At this point, Wang Lin was already very good at introducing these strange medicines. His explanation was very logical, and it gave off the feeling of a pharmacy salesperson from the modern era.
At this time, the person that had bought the medicine happened to be passing by. Hearing Wang Lin's words, he added: "That's right. The child's fever won't go down, and there's nothing that can be done about it. Although this medicine is expensive, it's fine as long as it's taken. Last time, another child at home also took this medicine and got better." After saying this, he quickly left.
Ru Jia was very unconvinced, "I will also go and buy some. Let's see if it really is that amazing. 100 taels, this is simply robbery. "
Feng Yu Heng laughed, "Princess, stop joking. It's just 100 taels. To the eldest princess of Qian Zhou, what is that? Who has ever heard of the imperial family caring about 100 taels."
Kang Yi, however, smiled and said: "100 taels is a small matter. It's just that I have never seen such an expensive medicine before. I am a little surprised." She then said to Ru Jia: "Just take out 500 taels of banknotes and go buy some. We will also gain some experience."
"Oh! I really am sorry about that. " Wang Lin quickly said: "Our Hundred Herb Hall has a limited supply of pills each month. There are only so many pills until they are sold out. Also, if you want to take the pills, you must see them at Hundred Herb Hall. If the doctor says that you don't need to take pills for your illness, then even if you have a thousand taels of gold, you won't be able to buy them. "
"What?" Ru Jia became angry, "I have never heard of someone being unable to buy things with money."
Wang Lin saw that she had become angry, so he no longer said anything. It was Feng Yu Heng's turn to say: "The two princesses said that you came to attend Hundred Herb Hall, so you should understand the rules of Hundred Herb Hall. My shopkeeper will explain the rules to the princesses, so you should just listen. If you want to change them, that would be overstepping your boundaries. "Do you have nothing better to do than to meddle in other people's business?
Kang Yi naturally understood what Feng Yu Heng was saying. Reaching out, she tugged at Ru Jia: "We are guests. It's natural that we need to respect the rules of the host's house. Quickly stop causing trouble."
Ru Jia was unreconciled and glared at Feng Yu Heng. Returning to Kang Yi's side, she no longer spoke.
Feng Jin Yuan was also a little embarrassed. He already knew about the rules of Hundred Herb Hall; however, he never thought that Feng Yu Heng would not give them any face. She was not even willing to sell a single pill. He wanted to speak up for Ru Jia and have Hundred Herb Hall give up a few pills for her to see. Unfortunately, when he saw his second daughter's appearance, he did not dare say anything. He could only silently lower his head and drink tea. He hoped that Kang Yi would say a few words to make the atmosphere less awkward.
But before Kang Yi could speak, Ru Jia, who had already become bored, stood up and took a few steps outside. She then stood at the door and stared across the street, suddenly saying: "Why is he here?"
