Chapter 17: The Embarrassed Hou Mansion
Bu Fu sighed in his heart, and then spoke with a hint of sadness, "Criminal Master, the doctor said, if there is snow mountain lazuli, there will be a glimmer of hope. If there is no, I am afraid my life will be short."
No wonder my grandfather was rushing to hand over the imperial edict and iron certificates given to her by Emperor Wen at the time.
I'm afraid I don't have much time to explain my funeral.
Chen Yuntang took a deep breath. From the original owner's memory, she had learned what the snow mountain Lanhua was.
This herb is like the best Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, and has special effects. Even in Dayan, which has abundant resources, it is still priceless.
Not to mention the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, even in the palace, there may not be such top-quality medicinal materials.
If you want to say which place may be there, it must be the Rui Palace.
Now His Highness the Regent controls the government affairs, which is only a distance from the highest position. The offerings from neighboring countries are sent to Yanjing to Prince Rui's Mansion first.
There is a small country in Luding, which produces this kind of snow-capped mountain flowers and has been worshipped in the past two years.
Chen Yuntang lamented, it seems that the more people they want to hide, the more they can’t escape!
When she thought of the Regent who was like a jackal, tiger and leopard, she had a headache.
Chen Yuntang thought for a moment, "The doctor can explain how long does my grandfather have to do."
Bu Fu said: "If you take good care of yourself, three months will not be a problem. After three months, you may have to leave it to fate."
Chen Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as his grandfather still had time.
"Does the doctor keep the prescription?"
Bu Fu nodded, took out an envelope from his cuff and handed it to Chen Yuntang.
Chen Yuntang reached out to take it and took out two thin pieces of rice paper from the envelope.
Let’s continue to look at the medicinal herbs one by one.
She has taken elective courses in traditional Chinese medicine in modern times and has some basic Chinese medicine. From this perspective, she found that although this prescription has many medicinal materials and is very complicated, there are no medicinal materials that are harmful to the body. They should be the right prescription.
However, she did not believe it at all and asked Bu Fu to find a few more doctors to verify it.
Chen Yuntang handed the prescription to Bu Fu and prepared to go back to Xiaofengju to rest.
After this day, she was exhausted and had to rest for a night.
"Okay, nothing else is wrong. Uncle Bu, go and take care of grandfather."
Chen Yuntang turned around and was about to leave, but Bu Fu said anxiously: "Criminal, wait!"
Chen Yuntang frowned slightly and turned around, "Uncle Bu said anything else, what else can I be polite to me."
Bu Fu paused, but decided to tell Chen Yuntang the truth.
When the Marquis was there, it was not the young prince's turn to worry about this family, but now the Marquis has gone, and the old Marquis is ill and cannot manage common affairs. Although they can help, they are still servants and cannot make the decision for the Marquis's mansion.
The young prince will one day be alone, so it is better to tell the actual situation of the Marquis’ Mansion now.
Bu Fu suddenly knelt down in front of Shen Yuntang, "Criminal Master."
Chen Yuntang saw Bu Fu take out an account book from his arms and present it to her with both hands. His head was low and his face was full of shame.
"Criminal, this is the old marquis' private property account book."
The outer courtyard of the Yongxing Hou Mansion is under the charge of the old housekeeper Nie Wei, and the inner courtyard is under the control of the old wife and the second lady. The private property of the old man Yongxing Hou is naturally managed by Bu Fu.
Chen Yuntang looked at Bu Fu, who was ashamed, took the account book, walked to the table beside him and sat down.
She opened the account book in confusion, and time passed by minute by minute, but Chen Yuntang's face became more and more serious.
After a long time, she finally closed the account book, took a deep breath, and asked, "How much money does grandfather have to do with him?"
Bu Fu said the truth: "When the prince returns to the prince, the old marquis still has more than 3,000 two cabinets of tickets by his side."
"Can it cost the medicinal materials?"
Bu Fu shook his head with a serious expression, "All the plan, two months..."
Chen Yuntang fell silent immediately.
Although the old Marquis of Yongxing still has idle positions in the court, the salary is probably not enough for the Marquis's mansion to spend one tenth, so it is not worth it at all.
Seeing that Chen Yuntang looked bad, Bu Fu lamented in his heart, "Criminal Prince, if he sold those two farms, he might be able to get it..."
Chen Yuntang immediately slapped the table, "No!"
If the descendants of the dignified family are to sell their ancestral property and live, not to mention that the Yongxing Marquis Mansion still has a certain status in Yanjing, even if the nobles who have no status are increasingly declining, they will instantly become the laughing stock of the entire Yanjing.
If she was the only bachelor in the Marquis' Mansion, she would be fine, but there were elderly grandmothers and young sisters in the mansion. If they couldn't raise their heads, it would be her fault.
Moreover, the money he received in this way was used to treat his grandfather. Even if Old Yongxinghou's illness was cured in the future, he would probably be depressed if he knew about this.
Bu Fu knew that this was a last resort, so he said helplessly: "It's an old slave who is useless."
"Uncle Bu, it's not your business. Just give your grandfather flowers and send the bill to me for your review. I'll find a way to find something else."
"Yes." Bu Fu received the order.
Chen Yuntang did not return the account book in his hand to Bu Fu, but took it away together.
Bu Fu personally delivered Chen Yuntang to the door.
In late autumn, the dew is heavy, and the angrily wind lanterns have been hung on both sides of the corridors of Yongxing Hou Mansion.
Under the dim lights, the seventeen-year-old prince's back is thin.
Even though she was actually a woman, when she recalled the firm expression of the prince just now, Bu Fu was still full of trust, as if with those slender shoulders, the entire Yongxing Marquis Mansion would have hope.
After Chen Yuntang came out of his grandfather's ward where he was recuperating, he went to his grandmother's house to inform him, and then left Fushou Hall and returned to his own roaring wind residence.
On the way back, Chen Yuntang asked about his sisters.
"When will the second sister and the others go back?"
Wing Chun replied: "The old lady is in a bad mood and should rest early. The second lady and the others sat for a while before returning to their yard after you went to the old Marquis's place."
Chen Yuntang nodded.
Originally, when she returned to Xiaofengju, Chen Yuntang planned to take a good rest for a night, but her grandfather's advice and Bu Fu's confession made her unable to sleep.
Before he could wash up, Chen Yuntang took his things to Xiaofeng Curie's small study room.
At the same time, Bai Mei ordered her to go to the front yard to find the butler Nie Wei and the guard captain Chen Shao.
The prince searched for the prince, Nie Wei and Chen Shao, did not dare to delay, so he rushed over quickly.
In the study room, several candles were lit to make the small study room shine transparently.
Chen Yuntang first met Chen Shao.
Chen Shao's father used to be an escort leader in Yanjing City, but later he was framed and imprisoned. It was the old marquis who washed away Chen Shao's father's grievances, so Chen Shao's father changed to the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion and became the captain of the guards.
Chen Shao's father died of illness a few years ago, and Chen Shao took the responsibility of the guard captain.
Chen Yuntang touched the exquisite nanmu brocade box beside the table with one hand and asked Chen Shao.
