Feng Chen Yu was forced to take over the mess left behind by the Shen Clan. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng did not have any other requests, she quickly bid farewell to the matriarch and went back to write a letter.
With her leaving, Han shi clearly let out a sigh of relief. It was as though she had won a battle, as a look of joy appeared on her face.
She had gotten her money back, which meant that her Fen Dai had money to add to her dowry. It was a full fifty thousand taels!
Fen Dai was a concubine's daughter. When a concubine's daughter married, her maternal family would not give much as a dowry. She did not have any source of money herself. This fifty thousand taels was much more than the total dowry that the Feng family could give.
Thinking of this, Han shi looked at Feng Yu Heng with a flattering gaze. Happily, she went forward and said: "This concubine thanks second young miss for adding to fourth young miss' dowry."
Feng Yu Heng waved her hand, "It's just a few pairs of shoes, and they were all worn by me. Concubine mother Han, there is no need to take it to heart."
"Hm?" Once these words came out, not only was Han shi stunned, but An shi and the matriarch also did not react. Han shi quickly asked: "What shoes is second young miss talking about?"
Feng Yu Heng naturally said: "Fourth sister really likes my shoes. Concubine mother Han should know about this. That day, when I returned from the palace, fourth sister recklessly ran over and lifted my skirt for the sake of seeing my shoes. Such thoughts, as her elder sister, how could I not understand. As the saying goes, when giving a gift, one must cater to their tastes. Since fourth sister likes my shoes so much, Wang Chuan, "She called a servant at her side," When we return to Tong Sheng pavilion, find all the shoes that I have worn. Wash them and wrap them up, then send them to fourth young miss. "
Wang Chuan complied: "This servant has remembered."
Feng Yu Heng continued: "Money is a worldly possession. Fourth sister is the dignified daughter of the prime minister's family. Naturally, she would not like to be tainted by the stench of money. That's why concubine mother Han does not need to thank me too much. In the future, if I have enough shoes, I will remember to send them to fourth sister to play with. "
Han shi was dazed from hearing this. Liked her shoes? Only an idiot would like someone else's worn shoes.
But what could she refute? Feng Yu Heng had said it. That day, Fen Dai lifted her skirt because she liked her shoes. If she refuted it now, it would be the same as telling everyone that Fen Dai was not aiming for the shoes.
Although everyone understood this reasoning, and Fen Dai had been punished, to admit it in front of everyone, that was still not good.
Han shi suffered this loss in silence. When she thought about how she did not get a single cent, who knew what sort of ugly things Fen Dai would say to her when she returned. This caused her to feel even more depressed.
Feng Yu Heng was too lazy to pay attention to her. You brought this upon yourself. Why didn't you think about the future when you were talking and doing things?
She turned back to the matriarch and Madam An and said with a smile: "Fourth sister voluntarily gave up the dowry, but I still don't want to take it myself. Thinking about it, Father probably wouldn't care about such a small amount of money, so Grandmother and Third Sister would share it equally. As a granddaughter and as an elder sister, I can show my appreciation. "
Hearing her say that, the old lady was naturally overjoyed. She repeatedly said, "Good! Good! My good granddaughter is the most sensible. "
An shi also understood the logic of stopping while she was ahead. Feng Yu Heng had already given Xiang Rong 50 thousand taels, so she could not accept this portion no matter what was said. Thus she also went with the flow, saying: "Would second young miss please help third young miss calculate her filial piety! Third young miss will also be filial to elder madam. The extra will be left to elder madam to accept! "
The matriarch saw that her granddaughter and concubine were all so sensible and could not help but sigh: "They are all filial children! They are all good children! " At the same time, she did not forget to give An shi a grace: "Don't worry. When Xiang Rong gets married in the future, I definitely will not treat her unfairly."
An shi quickly bowed and gave her thanks.
Only Han shi stood to the side, feeling extremely awkward.
The matter of the accounts had finally been settled. Before Feng Yu Heng returned to Tong Sheng pavilion, she gave the matriarch a copy of the accounts that had been prepared by Qing Yu and eunuch Zhang. This could be considered evidence. When the time came for the Chen family to refuse to acknowledge the debts, she would not be able to produce proof.
When she returned, it was already time for dinner. She had eaten late in the afternoon, so she was not too hungry. She only took a quick bite then ordered Huang Quan and Qing Yu: "Take the deed for the jewelry shop and go over right now. Qing Yu, take a look at the shop and see if there is anything that needs fixing. If there isn't, then prepare to reopen it. Also, in the future, these three shops will be managed by Qing Yu. You will go over every day to take a look and hand over the money to the shopkeepers every month. This way, I will not need to run back and forth. "
Qing Yu knew that this was Feng Yu Heng's trust in her and was extremely moved, "Young miss, do not worry. This servant will definitely do everything well."
"Un." Feng Yu Heng nodded then said: "Eunuch Zhang will be returning tomorrow. Qing Yu, you have interacted with him a lot these days, so help me take care of him. Tonight, I will be preparing medicine in the medicine storage room. Aside from finding some medicinal plasters for eunuch Zhang, I will also need to prepare some special herbs for Hundred Herb Hall. You two will go take care of the jewelry shop today. Go to Hundred Herb Hall tomorrow at noon and bring the medicine I have prepared there. The day after tomorrow, have Wang Lin take care of reopening it. "
Qing Yu and Huang Quan accepted the task and did not ask what special herbs Feng Yu Heng had prepared. They just hurriedly headed to the jewelry shop.
Feng Yu Heng advised Wang Chuan to find a few pairs of her old shoes and send them to Feng Fen Dai. She then dove into the medicine storage room and began to think about the necessities she would need for Hundred Herb Hall.
Eunuch Zhang's medicinal plasters were easy to handle. She just needed to bring some rheumatism ointment. The most important part was Hundred Herb Hall. Since she wanted to make Hundred Herb Hall different from before, she had to do something.
Feng Yu Heng entered the pharmacy space and walked around. In the end, she stopped in front of the counter for Chinese medicine.
Western medicine could not be easily revealed. She felt that Western medicine was something that could be used to treat emergencies. Only Chinese medicine could treat the root of the problem. Moreover, things had to be done step by step. It was impossible to bring out the best at once. If that were the case, it would be difficult to improve in the future.
After discovering the automatic replenishment function of the pharmacy space, Feng Yu Heng paid more attention to it. Now that she had received confirmation, she felt more at ease when using medicine.
Early on, when she was tidying up Tong Sheng pavilion's medicine storage room, Feng Yu Heng had prepared a large stockpile of small porcelain bottles for storing medicine and butter paper for packaging. Now, she had a use for them.
She opened up the packaging for some commonly used Chinese medicine and placed them into small porcelain bottles. Each bottle had a description of the medicine's effects and how to use it. She wrote as she distributed the medicine. She had prepared roughly ten types of commonly used medicine, and each type was divided into ten portions. This was to be used for Hundred Herb Hall's trial opening. She could predict that these things would be very popular, so she thought that when Qing Yu and the others returned, she would arrange for some of the literate servants to write them down. She could only write the instructions by hand for now.
The Chinese medicine she prepared included tablets, pills, and granules. Each one of them was something that didn't exist in this era. Feng Yu Heng had thought it through. If someone asked, the explanation would be that she had learned the method from her Persian eccentric master. She then made it herself. As for the method of making it, of course, it would be kept secret.
After everything was prepared, she brought the medicine out of the space. At this time, Qing Yu and Huang Quan had also returned from the shop.
Feng Yu Heng called the two of them to the medicine storage room and handed the things to Qing Yu: "These are the same effects as those traditional Chinese medicine soups. They are even better than those traditional Chinese medicine soups. I have written down the effects, usage, and precautions. Bring it to Wang Lin and let him put it on the counter to sell. As for the price, let him use the effects of the medicine to determine how many ingredients are needed. Then, increase the price by five times. "
"Ah?" Qing Yu was shocked, "Increase the price by five times? How much is that? Will anyone buy it? "
"Don't worry." Feng Yu Heng had a card up her sleeve, "Don't Hundred Herbs have a doctor in charge? Let the doctor choose a representative patient for each medicine on the opening day and give it to them for free. If these people eat well, they will naturally advertise it for us. We don't need to worry about people not knowing about good things. There are many rich people these days. "
Huang Quan nodded, "Miss is right. Who would want to drink bitter medicine soups? Not to mention high officials and nobles, even if it was me, if I had such a choice, I wouldn't drink the bitter medicine when I was sick. "
Qing Yu was stunned, "Sister Huang Quan, you are so rich."
Huang Quan raised his eyebrows at her, "Wicked girl, you will be rich soon." Seeing that Qing Yu didn't understand, he added, "You help Miss manage three shops. Are you afraid that Miss won't pay you more?"
Qing Yu was stunned, "But I don't plan to ask for more!"
Feng Yu Heng also smiled, "Whether or not you plan to ask is your problem. Whether or not you give is my problem. I am not a stingy person. If you sincerely follow me, then we will all enjoy the good fortune together. "
Her attitude caused Qing Yu to feel very grateful. Huang Quan felt more and more that the Feng family's second young miss was a good match for his Highness.
The next day, everyone in the Feng family sent eunuch Zhang, who was returning to the Imperial Palace Yu, to the manor's gate. Feng Jin Yuan specially ordered the servants to prepare a carriage.
In regards to Feng Jin Yuan's politeness, eunuch Zhang did not feel embarrassed in the slightest. Instead, he accepted it as a matter of course.
Feng Jin Yuan did not argue with him. He naturally understood that it was best to avoid offending someone like eunuch Zhang.
Feng Yu Heng gave eunuch Zhang the rheumatism ointment she had prepared early in the morning. She gave him a total of ten sheets and said that if it was effective, she would prepare more.
Eunuch Zhang could not understand how this sort of light ointment was made, but he was too embarrassed to ask. He could only thank Feng Yu Heng profusely. In his heart, he was even more satisfied with this future princess. It seemed that the Ninth Prince's eyes were quite good. No wonder Lady Zhou praised this girl like that last time.
Finally sending off eunuch Zhang, the teacher that Feng Jin Yuan invited for Zirui also arrived. According to Feng Jin Yuan's introduction, this teacher had taught many children of high officials and noble families. He was very famous in the capital.
Feng Yu Heng did not have much hope for this teacher that had been in contact with large families. This sort of person was mostly old foxes and did not have much ability. Fortunately, Zirui was only being taught. Her goal was to have the teacher teach Zirui how to read. As for other things, they could be discussed at a later time.
The servants brought the teacher and Zirui back to Tong Sheng pavilion. Feng Yu Heng was preparing to ask for leave from the matriarch and go with Qing Yu to Hundred Herb Hall to take a look, but before she could speak, she saw a girl standing outside the door waving at her with a smile.
The matriarch's eyes were sharp and was the first to recognize her: "Oh! Isn't that imperial daughter Wu Yang? "She moved to salute.
Outside the door, Wu Yang saw this and quickly trotted over to stop the matriarch: "Elder madam Feng, there is no need to be so courteous. I came today to look for Heng. I will help her ask for leave from home. Us sisters going out for a stroll, is that alright?"
"Alright! Of course, that's fine! "How could the matriarch dare say no. She was a proper imperial daughter. Moreover, she was all too eager for Feng Yu Heng to interact more with imperial daughter Wu Yang. Like this, the relationship between the Feng family and the Wen Xuan Palace could be improved.
Even Feng Jin Yuan smiled and nodded: "Imperial daughter being able to get along well with Heng Heng is our Heng Heng's good fortune."
Wu Yang could not be bothered to listen to Feng Jin Yuan's bureaucratic jargon. Pulling along Feng Yu Heng, she ran out of the Feng manor. Wang Chuan quickly followed behind them.
Only after they turned the corner did Wu Yang stop. She then pointed at a few people standing not too far away: "Heng Heng, do you see that! Those are the sisters that I will be introducing to you today. "
