Chapter 194 More people bought loquat ointment.
“You can’t see people alive, but you can’t see corpses even when they are dead.” Wei Mingting frowned.
"What should we do now?" Yun asked worriedly, very worried that her husband would be implicated.
"The imperial court is already aware of this matter and has sent ministers here to find the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince and to track down information about the murderer," Wei Mingting replied.
"Then if we still can't find out..." Yun didn't dare to think any further.
"Madam, don't think about it. The matter has come to this, and we can only do our best to obey fate. If we are really implicated, I have nothing to say."
Although Wei Mingting was tired, he also thought calmly.
"I know." Mrs. Yun still couldn't feel relieved, but in front of her husband, she still put away her worried look and acted considerate and considerate, so as not to make her husband worry too much.
"Well, you have been working hard during this period. There are many things to do as the new year is approaching, and you have several children to worry about." Wei Mingting said.
"Husband, don't worry, everything is fine in the house. Husband, please rest early today," Yun replied.
Mrs. Yun knew that Wei Mingting had something to do early tomorrow morning, so he helped Wei Mingting go back to his room to rest.
###
Early the next morning, Wei Mingting went out in a hurry.
In the next few days, the school captain's residence was relatively calm.
The relationship between Wei Ruo and Yun is still cold, and Wei Ruo turns a blind eye to Yun's dissatisfaction.
When they had dinner together, Mrs. Yun kept a cold face, while Wei Ruo didn't say a word and just immersed himself in the meal.
Not only that, with the existence of these two living examples, Mrs. Xu and the third wife of the Yuan family, many people know about Wei Ruo’s loquat ointment.
The weather has been very cold recently, and many people are suffering from cold. There are many people suffering from cough, especially the elderly.
So they all came to Wei Ruo to buy loquat paste, and Wei Ruo sold them a jar of ten taels of silver as usual.
She sold Mrs. Xu for ten taels of silver a jar, and she could not sell it to anyone else at any other price. Either she would not sell it, or she could only sell it for ten taels of silver a jar.
The Yun family also knew about this. The other party came specifically to find Wei Ruo to buy it. They usually met the Yun family first and then met Wei Ruo.
Yun was angry, but there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn't drive him away even if he came with a smile on his face. I can only watch my eldest daughter buying and selling things like the merchants outside.
But Yunshi actually thought a little too much. Those who bought Wei Ruo's loquat paste in the city or those who didn't, didn't mean to look down on Wei Ruo.
First of all, Wei Ruo gave it as a gift at the beginning. The old lady of the third room of the Yuan family and the old man of the Xu family received it as gifts at the beginning. Later, the old lady of the Xu family just gave it to Wei Ruo for a long time, so she just gave the money. , Mrs. Xu also told people about this openly.
Secondly, what Wei Ruo sells is medicine for treating diseases. Businessmen are scornful, but no doctor will be scornful. Good prescriptions and medicines are not ordinary commodities.
But Yunshi didn't know this. Even though the people who came to Wei Ruo to buy medicine praised Wei Ruo's abilities with smiles on their faces, Yunshi still felt from the bottom of her heart that what her eldest daughter did was inappropriate.
Wei Ruo ignored her and not only continued to sell her loquat paste, but also went to Zhuangzi as usual.
Manager Yu settled his medical expenses with Zhu Zongyu and offered a price of twenty taels.
Manager Yu rounded up the total money that Zhu Zongyu spent on food, clothing and medicinal materials at Zhuangzi during this period. It was twenty taels of silver. Zhu Zongyu didn't make much money, but he didn't lose money either.
Then Zhu Zongyu gave Manager Yu one hundred and twenty taels, and the extra one hundred taels was Wei Ruo's medical fee.
Wei Ruo told Manager Yu in advance that when settling the accounts with Zhu Zongyu, the medical and food expenses had been clearly calculated and could not be discounted. If Zhu Zongyu wants to give more to others, there is no need to refuse, he can just accept it as ordered. So Manager Yu accepted the money, reported it to Wei Ruo, and transferred the money to Zhuangzi's daily expenses.
Fan Chengxu also acted quickly. After only three days, Fan Chengxu sent someone to deliver some medicinal materials to Wei Ruo, and also sent a lot of supplements.
The medicinal materials written on Wei Ruo's list were indeed valuable and scarce. Although Fan Chengxu had found them all, the quantity was still far behind those of Wei Ruo.
But in order not to delay the progress of the treatment, Fan Chengxu had someone deliver the medicine first.
Part of the medicinal materials sent by Wei Ruo were mixed with other medicinal materials to formulate a prescription, and Manager Yu cooked it for Zhu Zongyu to take every day. The other part of Wei Ruo was used in her ointment to make a special ointment for Zhu Zongyu to treat scars.
The medicine was worth dozens of taels of silver, and the final ointment was only packed in a box the size of a rouge box.
Wei Ruo planned to use it on Zhu Zongyu's face first. It could be seen that Zhu Zongyu wanted to restore his appearance first. Although the scars left by knife wounds and other abrasions and blunt trauma on his body were more hideous and terrifying, at least they were not there on ordinary days. People will see that as long as it grows well, it will not affect their daily life.
This ointment is not cheap, and most people cannot afford it.
The twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
After another five days of rest, Zhu Zongyu's physical condition improved a lot and his walking became much more flexible. However, he did not leave the yard without Wei Ruo's permission.
Today, after Wei Ruo came to Zhuangzi to talk to Manager Yu about some New Year matters in Zhuangzi, he went to see Zhu Zongyu as usual, took Zhu Zongyu's pulse, and examined some wounds on his face and arms in detail.
Wei Ruo asked Zhu Zongyu some questions as usual:
Wei Ruo asked: "How has Mr. Zhu's mental state and appetite been these past two days?"
Zhu Zongyu: "They are all very good."
Wei Ruo asked: "Can the time for daily activities be increased?"
Zhu Zongyu: " Well, I increased it appropriately. I dare not move too much for fear of damaging the wound."
Wei Ruo asked: "Is the scab on the wound itchy?"
Zhu Zongyu: "It's very itchy. Manager Yu told me that itching is a normal phenomenon of wound healing. , do not touch."
Wei Ruo asked: "Can the ointment relieve the itching symptoms after being applied to the face?"
Zhu Zongyu: "The ointment is cooling, and the itching symptoms are relieved after application."
After some questioning, there was no problem.
"Your recovery is not bad. Keep up the good work, take your medicine on time every day, move around appropriately, and maintain a good mood." Wei Ruo concluded.
"Do I have a chance to fully recover?" Zhu Zongyu asked.
"I have told you about the injury on your face before. As long as you do what I ask, as long as you have enough money and spend enough time, there is a chance. But because the scar on your body is too deep, I didn't There is no guarantee that it will leave no scars, but there will be no problems in daily life. If you exercise regularly, you can continue to practice martial arts." Wei Ruo replied.
"That's enough." Zhu Zongyu was very satisfied with Wei Ruo's answer.
After asking the question, Wei Ruo said to Zhu Zongyu: "I just want to go to the ground to take a look. If you want to go out for a walk, come with me and walk around."
