Steward Wang was actually testing the situation, because Steward Wei had already given him thirty taels of silver and asked him to take care of the Chen family's affairs.
If Chen Mingyi was not firm, he would ask the Chen family to refund the money.
However, Chen Mingyi didn't intend to pay back the money, so he didn't want it. If there was another dispute, he would have to return the thirty taels in hand. Now he still makes ten taels.
If you go back to the old lady and sell it, you can get some rewards.
"Hey, I can't help you for this. I accept the loss of these twenty taels. I tell you, you are not allowed to go to the Wei family to make trouble. If it affects me, I will not be polite in the future."
Chen Mingyi wanted to slap him twice. This time the Chen family suffered a big loss.
But he didn't dare, and he didn't know if he would ask the king for anything in the future.
He could only nod his head, "Don't worry, as long as you accept the twenty taels of silver, forget about the rest. It's not up to you to do anything under Butler Wei."
Manager Wang smiled and said, "Don't be unhappy. The concubines of the Wei family are not necessarily better than the wives of scholars. What if your grandson-in-law becomes a high official in the future?"
Chen Mingyi didn't say anything. In his opinion, he had spent so much effort on Chen Zhongda, but he still hadn't seen any results. The Liu family was extremely poor. What skills could that kid have?
He walked out of the teahouse and breathed a sigh of relief. With twenty taels of silver, plus the Liu family's betrothal gift, Xiuyun got about thirty taels when she got married, which was considered very high in the village.
Lin Hexi walked towards Chen Mingyi and walked straight forward without saying hello when he saw Chen Mingyi.
Chen Mingyi stopped her and said, "I am also an elder after all. Is this how you are filial to your elders?"
"Grandpa." Lin Xixi smiled, "Grandpa, are you drinking tea?"
Chen Mingyi didn't speak, and Lin Xixi said, "Grandpa, do you have any teachings? If not, I will leave first. I am still busy."
When she took two steps, Chen Mingyi suddenly said, "Does Xiuyun's marriage this time have anything to do with you?"
Lin Yuxi turned around and said, "Grandpa thinks highly of me too much. He can blame me for everything."
Chen Mingyi thought for a moment, and Lin Yuxi probably didn't have this ability. As for Chen Zhongqian, although he had some contacts with the Wei family, he probably couldn't influence the second master of the Wei family to take concubines.
"There is no best. You should be more honest after your family is separated. If you interfere in family affairs, I will make you regret it."
Lin Xixi said with a smile, "Grandpa, it's not easy for our family of four to survive. We have to take medicine and study. I'm so exhausted from going up the mountain to collect medicine. I don't have any spare time."
"Um."
Lin Yuxi turned around and left, thinking that Chen Mingyi was quite keen.
But it's also possible that they don't like it and think they are causing trouble in everything, regardless of whether there is any evidence.
Today is a market day. I have made appointments with several patients for follow-up consultations today. Lin Yuxi is going to Renji Hall.
We had just arrived at Renji Hall, and shopkeeper Zhao hurried out, "Ms. Chen, why are you here just now? The patients are already waiting impatiently."
Lin Yuxi said, "Go and sell the mountain goods first. Which patient is this?"
"Mrs. Liu." Shopkeeper Zhao lowered his voice, "The financial resources of the Liu family are second only to the Wei family. Mrs. Liu heard that Dr. Li in our Renji Hall is very good at treating patients, so she came here to see the doctor today."
"What disease?"
Shopkeeper Zhao said, "I didn't know. It's just that Mrs. Liu has hired a doctor from Yuan Antang before. We have to look after her this time. You should have a better attitude."
Lin Yuxi looked at him without saying anything.
Shopkeeper Zhao had no choice but to change his mind, "Okay... but at least don't speak so bluntly."
Lin Hexi said nonchalantly, "This is a medical clinic, not a restaurant. If you want someone to take good care of you, go to the restaurant and find the waiter. What kind of doctor are you looking for?"
"That's the truth, but Mrs. Liu is very generous."
Lin Yuxi ignored him and entered the gate.
Several patients from the last appointment had already arrived, and Lin Yuxi stood behind the screen to show them and adjust the prescription.
A maid came out from behind and said arrogantly, "What's going on? Why isn't that Doctor Li here yet? Our wife has been waiting for a long time."
Shopkeeper Zhao said hurriedly, "Doctor Li doesn't sit for consultations. Just wait a little longer and he will be there soon."
"Haha, I think your Renji Hall doesn't know what's serious. Doctors from Yuan'antang always come to your home for medical treatment. It would be better for you to let our wife come by yourself, why you have to wait so long."
Shopkeeper Zhao was smiling. Lin Xixi just finished seeing the last patient, stood up and said, "Let's go, it's her turn."
Shopkeeper Zhao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but the little maid asked, "Who are you? Where are you from, a village girl? Why do you want to see my wife?"
"Then I'm not worthy, so forget it if you don't want to read it." Lin Yuxi said, "The patients have finished reading today, and I'm leaving."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Shopkeeper Zhao quickly stopped the person. This young aunt was not easy to coax.
He stopped Lin Yuxi and quickly told the little maid, "This lady is a close disciple of Dr. Li. Anyone who wants Dr. Li to see a doctor must let Madam Chen see her first."
The little maid's nostrils were turned upward, "No, look at her, I don't know which country she is from. Her hands are muddy and her body smells bad. How can she let such a person appear in front of my wife?"
Lin Yuxi looked at her, "You can stay in front of your wife like this. Her taste is not very good."
"What did you say?!"
Lin Joy said, "I don't know which family's eldest lady came to experience life. Instead of staying in the boudoir, she actually came out to be a maid. My eyes have been opened today."
"Shopkeeper Zhao, it seems there are no more patients. I'm going home first."
Although Shopkeeper Zhao wants to keep Mrs. Liu, they all have contacts with each other, and they usually don't have serious illnesses. They just need to see a doctor to take care of their health.
If Lin Yuxi cures her, another noble lady will come later, so she cannot be offended.
But he was also very unhappy when the little maid spoke like this. Naturally, he was on Lin Yuxi's side at this moment.
"Okay, Mrs. Chen will go back and rest first. I will explain it clearly to Madam Liu and tell Madam Liu how her maid speaks."
Lin Hexi smiled and was very satisfied with Shopkeeper Zhao.
Just as he was about to leave, a maid came out from behind and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, why isn't Doctor Li here yet?"
Shopkeeper Zhao snorted coldly, "Here you go, let your maid go away in anger."
The little maid immediately lowered her head. The maid who just came out was much more sensible and said quickly, "This girl just went out with me and doesn't know the rules. Please don't take it personally, my wife has been waiting for so long. Why don't you take it to heart?"
Let’s take a look.”
Shopkeeper Zhao said to Lin Yuxi respectfully, "Ms. Chen, what do you think?"
"Okay." Lin Joy put down the backpack again, opened the curtain and went to the back. The little maid bit her lips in anger, but did not dare to say anything.
