Probably in order to fulfill his promise that day, Cui Weizhen studied harder and harder.
Seeing that he was getting thinner day by day, Ye Zhenzhen was heartbroken and tried different ways to replenish his body. In the end, Cui Weizhen didn't gain much weight, but she herself became as plump as a pearl, so she had to make up her mind to lose weight.
The focus of her life is occupied by Cui Weizhen and weight loss, but she has not neglected her career.
Since Man Ting Fang was burned down by Li Xundao's people a year ago, it has been closed for rest. It was only after 2000 that it was finally renovated and reopened.
Although the business is still booming, you can still feel that it is not as good as before. There is no other reason. There are already many imitations on the market that are not inferior to Man Ting Fang Rouge. Customers have a variety of choices. It is only because of the speed of introducing new ones that there is a large number of them. Part of it stayed in Mantingfang.
Ye Zhenzhen took the initiative to adjust the prices of the two stores in Linxi County and Fucheng, but the situation in other branches was unknown. Wang Qi had received very little news since he went home to celebrate his birthday years ago. He remembered the last time he heard from the shopkeeper in Fucheng The news revealed made her a little worried.
Facing the clan members who are like wolves and tigers, can Wang Qi keep Man Tingfang?
The matter was so important that Ye Zhenzhen had to continue to write to him to inquire. Unexpectedly, Wang Qi did not reply and went directly back to Laxi County.
It was a holiday that day and Cui Weizhen didn't have to go to the county school. Ye Zhenzhen didn't want him to work too hard, so she suggested that the family go for an outing outside the city. Cui Weizhen and Aunt Cui both agreed. Ye Zhenzhen excitedly prepared the food for the spring outing. After leaving home, Wang Qi came to visit.
"Wang Qi?"
Ye Zhenzhen looked at Wang Qi who was brought in by Hong Zhiyuan and was surprised. There was no other reason. Wang Qi was very thin. Unlike Cui Weizhen, who was growing in body, he looked thin because his skeleton was thinned. But as an adult, Wang Qi was exposed. It's scary to be thin, and I almost lose my appearance.
As a business partner, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you in bad health? Why are you so thin?"
"I got sick a lot later in the year, and I'm getting better now."
Wang Qi smiled helplessly, saw the food box in her hand, and asked, "Ms. Ye, are you going out?"
Ye Zhenzhen nodded, but it was clear that Wang Qi had something to do when he came to the door, so she was not in a hurry. She put the food box on the table and asked Yuxiu to serve tea. Then she said, "Since you are sick, why don't you take a good rest at home? You have something to do." To find me, just write a letter."
"I have to tell you this in person."
Wang Qi's expression was solemn, with worry and helplessness condensed between his brows. Ye Zhenzhen suddenly had a bad premonition, and then heard him say in a difficult tone, "Man Tingfang... I'm afraid I won't be able to save it. "
Ye Zhenzhen's heart sank. Although she had a premonition when she saw Wang Qi, but hearing him say it with her own ears, it was a different feeling.
"What's going on?" she asked.
Wang Qi didn't answer for a while, seeming to be thinking of words.
"Zhen'er, are there guests?"
Aunt Cui thought Ye Zhenzhen had been delayed by something, so when she came into the hall and took a look, she realized that there was a guest.
Wang Qi woke up from his deep thoughts. As soon as he saw Aunt Cui, he stood up suddenly and said, "Auntie!"
Aunt Cui was slightly startled, and looked at Wang Qi carefully. She finally saw a bit of the Wang family in his face, and her face was a little complicated, "Which family are you a child from?"
"Auntie, I am from the lineage of Mingde Gong. My father is a prince. I am of the same generation as you, auntie."
"It turns out he is Brother Junqing's son. When I was young, I went to clan school and was a classmate with your father."
Aunt Cui suddenly realized, a look of reminiscence appeared on her face, "I remember seeing you before, but I didn't expect you to grow so big all of a sudden."
"A few years ago, my aunt, you took my nephew to visit me, and my nephew had the honor to meet you."
Wang Qi said, "Last time I was in Yejia Village, my nephew met Brother Zhen once. However, his face was so different from when he was a child that my nephew didn't dare to recognize him. Now that I have seen you, my aunt, I dare to confirm that it is you."
.”
After so many years, my aunt's appearance has not changed. In addition, he found some information from the clan during the Chinese New Year, so he dared to confirm it.
Thinking of this, he asked hesitantly, "Where is Brother Zhen?"
"Brother Zhen is in the study."
Ye Zhenzhen answered, "I will take you to find him."
"No."
Cui Weizhen walked in from the door and nodded to Wang Qi, "Brother Qi, I was offended last time when I didn't want to recognize each other."
"It should, it should."
Wang Qi shook his head, not minding what happened last time. This time he returned to the clan and vaguely heard the secrets of that year, and then he realized why Cui Weizhen was so cautious.
Considering the situation he and his aunt were in, it was only right not to have any contact with the Wang family.
But... he carefully looked at the faces of Cui Weizhen and Aunt Cui, and said, "During the New Year, Patriarch Cui came to visit the clan. He didn't know what he said to the clan leader, so the clan leader asked me to ask about you. I told him
I've been perfunctory, but the clan leader obviously doesn't believe it, and seems to have already planned to have someone come here, so I hurriedly rushed over to report the news to you."
It turned out that this was the reason why he came to Laxi County regardless of his illness.
Ye Zhenzhen was immediately moved and solemnly thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Qi, for informing me."
With his body, it was okay to send any servant to notify him. It was obvious that he made the trip in person because he was worried, and his sincerity was enough to keep them in mind.
Cui Weizhen also solemnly thanked her. Aunt Cui felt a little uneasy after hearing the news, but she didn't want to show her panic in front of the younger generation, so she endured it.
But Cui Weizhen still found out. He gave her a comforting look and said, "Ever since the fourth uncle came last time, I knew that this day would come. Mother, don't worry, neither the Cui family nor the Wang family dare to do this.
What happened?"
He is no longer the ignorant child he was three years ago.
Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the news that my father came back from after asking me to tell you to leave Linxi County as soon as possible. Since Brother Zhen has a way, I'm relieved."
Aunt Cui was a little surprised, but more moved, "I didn't expect that Brother Junqing would still remember me after so many years. How has your father been doing in recent years?"
"In the early years, I served as an idle official. Now I have nothing to do at home and my health is not good."
Wang Qi sighed and looked at Ye Zhenzhen, "There are many children in the clan, and most of them are not engaged in production. They are living in vain and barely maintaining their dignity. Man Tingfang's fame has attracted many people in the clan to covet her, but they can't do it.
I wanted to seize people's property but asked for help. I took advantage of my illness to avoid it, but they would not give up and they would definitely persecute me again."
Although it is said that it will not encroach on industry, with Man Tingfang's current development momentum, there is no difference between wanting to join forces and encroaching on industry.
