The matriarch did not accept it and had granny Zhao hand it over to Feng Yu Heng: "Heng, take a look for yourself. Is there anything wrong with it?"
The Shen Clan glared at her: "What could be wrong with it? It's already been handed over. What else do you want? "
The matriarch slapped the table: "You're revolting!" Her voice was so loud that everyone in the room shrank back in fear.
Feng Yu Heng timely reminded her: "Grandmother, do not get angry. Your health is important."
The matriarch nodded her head and urged: "Quickly take a look at these things."
Feng Yu Heng held the three deeds in her hand and returned to Yao shi's side, "Concubine mother, take a look. Are these the ones?"
Yao shi took them and looked. She saw that one was for Hundred Herb Hall, one was for a jewelry shop, and the other was for an antique shop.
These things had been personally chosen by old imperial physician Yao for her dowry when she married. He had thought that these three were all profitable businesses that could support his daughter's livelihood. However, he never thought that from the day she married into the Feng family, she would never see these shops again.
"It's these." Yao shi was filled with emotion.
Feng Yu Heng flipped through the account books. She did not understand the specific details, but the final account clearly stated that the three shops were heavily in debt. Not only were they not making money, but they were also losing money.
The Shen Clan saw her raise an eyebrow and coldly snorted. Words of warning were raised: "Look carefully. Over the years, the Feng family has given your shops a great deal of money. Everything is written down clearly. Now that I've taken back the shop, I'll have to calculate the amount of money that I've lost. "
Once these words came out, the majority of the people in the room were startled.
They were all old people in the Feng manor and knew what kind of shops the Yao family had given them. Medicine shop, jewelry shop, antique shop. Which one of them was not a profitable business? How could they have lost money?
The matriarch naturally knew what the Shen Clan was planning, but the shops had been managed by the Shen Clan for the past few years, so she could not say anything.
Feng Yu Heng didn't have any doubts about this. She only said, "Mother, don't worry. I will have someone check the accounts. If it's really a debt, then it's only right to return the money. However, the people who took care of the business during these times also had to bear the responsibility for poor management. Also, "She looked at the Shen Clan coldly," If the actual operating situation is found to be inconsistent with the account book, please give Heng Zheng and the Feng Family an explanation. "
Shen Clan didn't understand: "What do I have to explain to the Feng family? Isn't the shop yours? "
Heng Heng asked, "Now you know that the shop is mine? Who was the one who said that a woman's belongings should belong to her husband's family? "
Shen Clan knew that she was in the wrong. She rolled her eyes and didn't want to continue the conversation. However, she felt guilty about Feng Yu Heng wanting to check the accounts. She awkwardly said, "I am the mistress of the Feng Family. You, a concubine's daughter, dare to question me. Where are the rules that you learned?"
Feng Yu Heng said, "In the deep mountains of the Northwest, the Feng Family really didn't give Heng Zheng a person to teach her the rules."
The matriarch also reminded the Shen Clan: "You are still the mistress of the Feng Family, but now you can't be the mistress of the family!"
Shen Clan was so angry that she gasped for breath. She stood up and pointed at everyone and yelled, "You all colluded together! You all did it on purpose! "
Feng Yu Heng was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. She only saluted the matriarch: "Grandmother, Heng Zheng will leave first. Today, after taking back the shops, I still want to go out of the manor to check them out. It's a good opportunity to ask grandmother for permission."
The matriarch nodded: "Go! Bring your maidservants and return early. "
Heng Zheng bowed and left. Bringing Yao shi and Zirui with her, she also left.
The matriarch glared at Shen Clan and coldly warned: "Do not delay Chen Yu's future because of your own conduct. If you do not change, the Feng family can consider sending you to a temple."
Back to Feng Yu Heng. Coming out of Shu Ya courtyard, she brought Huang Quan and Qing Yu out of the manor. This was the first time she had left the manor since returning to the capital. She immediately felt that after leaving the Feng family's territory, she could breathe more easily.
Huang Quan turned around and glared at the Feng manor, angrily saying: "Second young miss, endure for a few more years. In the future, we will never return. What sort of people are in this family! "
Even Qing Yu could not get used to seeing the Feng family's faces, "Isn't husband the prime minister? I really did not think that the dignified prime minister would raise such a mistress of the family. "
Feng Yu Heng shrugged: "If you want to see a good show, you have seen it over the years. In this manor, each person can sing a play, and they can sing very brilliantly. "
Huang Quan recovered his cheerful appearance and said: "That's also good. It will save us from boredom. Just treat it as playing with them. From time to time, you can whip them and beat them. "
Qing Yu pouted and said: "Elder sister Huang Quan, don't talk about beating people at the slightest provocation."
Huang Quan hooked his arm around her shoulder and teased her: "Xiao Shu, if you don't beat, you won't run away."
The group chatted and laughed, and they very quickly arrived at Hundred Herb Hall.
Feng Yu Heng did not directly bring them in. Instead, she stood at the entrance of the shop and pretended to look at things.
People came and went from Hundred Herb Hall. There were many people taking medicine, and the shop assistant was very busy. A middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper was standing in front of the counter. He held something in his hand and was gesturing with an old man.
Feng Yu Heng and the others walked closer and heard the man say: "This is a five hundred year old ginseng. Let me tell you, old mister, if it weren't for you saying that your wife is seriously ill and needs ginseng to prolong her life, I wouldn't have brought out such a good thing for you."
The old man looked at the thing in the shopkeeper's hand in confusion and waved his hand: "I don't want such a good thing. How much is a five hundred year old ginseng? I can't afford it even if I sell my family's house! "
"Eh?!" The shopkeeper patted his shoulder: "Old mister, I can see that you're not a particularly well-off person, so I didn't bring out those over a thousand years old. But what are you buying ginseng for? It's to prolong a life! Those tens of years old or one or two hundred years old, what if they can't be prolong? Wouldn't your money be wasted?! Money is just a worldly possession. As long as you can keep your life, that's the most important thing! "
"But … but I don't have any money!" The old man anxiously began to pull out his pockets.
The shopkeeper's eyes stared at the small cloth bag that the old man pulled out. It was filled with pieces of scattered silver. Altogether, there was no more than twenty taels.
"I borrowed this from all the families in the village, but it's still not enough to buy a five hundred year old ginseng!"
The shopkeeper curled his lips, "It's a bit too little." Then he waved his hand: "It's no problem. Hundred Herb Hall treats illnesses and saves people. We can't not treat patients just because they don't have money!" As he spoke, he grabbed all the silver in the old man's hands. The old man was very reluctant and wanted to snatch it back, but he couldn't snatch it from the shopkeeper. "Here, take the ginseng!" The shopkeeper stuffed the so-called five hundred year old ginseng into the old man's hands, "Quickly go back and prolong your wife's life!"
When the old man saw that the ginseng was already in his hands, he was so grateful that he didn't know what to say. He simply knelt down and kowtowed to the shopkeeper: "Great benefactor! I'll kowtow to you! Thank you for saving my life! "
The shopkeeper hurriedly helped him up, "Don't, don't! This is what Hundred Herb Hall should do. Quickly go back and treat the patient. "
Seeing the old man gratefully holding the ginseng and staggering away, the corners of Huang Quan's mouth twitched: "That thing is ginseng?"
Qing Yu also didn't believe it: "Five hundred years?"
Feng Yu Heng coldly snorted: "It's just a broken tree root." Then she ordered Huang Quan: "Go and chase that old man back."
Huang Quan nodded: "Then what about Miss?"
Feng Yu Heng lifted her feet and walked into Hundred Herb Hall: "It seems that there are a lot of good things here. Since someone already bought ginseng, this Miss will go and buy something else."
Huang Quan happily chased after the old man. Qing Yu followed Feng Yu Heng into Hundred Herb Hall.
When the shopkeeper saw a well-dressed young lady followed by a maidservant, he knew that this must be a big customer. He hurriedly led her inside and served her tea. After busying himself for a while, he nodded and bowed to Feng Yu Heng: "Miss, do you want to buy medicinal herbs or find a doctor?"
Feng Yu Heng asked: "In addition to selling medicinal herbs, you also treat patients?"
The shopkeeper proudly said: "Of course! Our Hundred Herb Hall has two doctors who take turns sitting in the hall every day. The other one is responsible for visiting patients. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded then looked around the medicine hall. Only then did she say: "Yesterday, my mother fell ill, and the doctor wrote a prescription. Inside, there is a type of lingzhi mushroom. He said that the older it is, the better. I heard that Hundred Herb Hall has the most complete collection of medicinal herbs, so I wanted to take a look. I'm just a young lady and don't know much. Originally, I was afraid that I would be deceived when I came out to buy expensive medicinal herbs. But just now, I saw that the old man was so grateful to Hundred Herb Hall that he shed tears of gratitude. I thought that such a large medicine hall wouldn't deceive people. "
When the shopkeeper heard this, he did not feel embarrassed in the slightest. Instead, he quickly and accurately received Feng Yu Heng's message of "I don't understand anything." With a smile, he ordered the waiter: "Go! Take out the thousand-year-old lingzhi from the sixth drawer in the third row of the cabinet on the north side of the room. "
The waiter helplessly responded and looked worriedly at Feng Yu Heng. The shopkeeper reprimanded him: "Go quickly! What are you dawdling for!
Not long after, the waiter came out with a wooden box. The waiter was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He lowered his head and held the wooden box high. Half of his face was blocked by the wooden box, and he gave Feng Yu Heng a meaningful glance.
Feng Yu Heng read the waiter's lips and saw that he was saying: "Don't buy it."
She smiled and nodded, remembering this waiter in her heart.
The shopkeeper took the wooden box and kicked the waiter away. Then, he flatteringly brought it in front of Feng Yu Heng: "Young Miss, please take a look." As he spoke, he opened the wooden box and a large piece of lingzhi appeared in front of Feng Yu Heng and Feng Yu Heng. The shopkeeper continued: "A thousand-year-old lingzhi is hard to find in this world!"
"Oh?" Feng Yu Heng raised her eyebrows and carefully looked at the lingzhi, "Hard to find in this world? Then it seems that this Hundred Herb Hall is really a treasure trove. "
The shopkeeper's heart was thinking about how to swindle the money and he didn't hear the sarcastic meaning in Feng Yu Heng's words — — "Young Miss is right. You also saw that old gentleman who came to buy ginseng. My Hundred Herb Hall doesn't care if it's a five hundred year old ginseng or a thousand-year-old lingzhi, as long as you say your name, we can take out any kind of medicine!"
"Then how much does the shopkeeper want for this lingzhi?" She narrowed her eyes and looked at the shopkeeper with shifty eyes. With one look, she could tell that he wasn't a good person.
"How much does Young Miss want to pay?" The shopkeeper asked back, "You also know that a thousand-year-old lingzhi is hard to find. I'm afraid that the price will be sky-high. But Young Miss wants to buy lingzhi to save a life, so I dare to ask how much Young Miss is willing to pay? You can name a price. If it's not too much, I'll wrap up this lingzhi for you. After all, saving a life is more important. I can't delay your family's wife's illness just because of some money. "
If one didn't know the truth, they would really be moved by the shopkeeper's words.
But he couldn't move Feng Yu Heng because Feng Yu Heng clearly recognized that the lingzhi in the box was actually a piece of bark that was polished to look like a lingzhi.
The roots were used as ginseng and the bark was used as lingzhi. They wouldn't waste it.
