第447章 得了怪症
“嘴儿倒是挺甜的。”孙三娘笑着说道。
“还希望孙老板给我个机会。”魏若道。
“嘴上说着要我给你机会，但在价格上却是丝毫不让。”
“孙老板莫怪，我这料子来之不易，价格确实不能再让了。”魏若道。
孙三娘叹了口气道：“罢了罢了，看在你这料子确实不错的份上，我孙三娘就同意了你开出来的价格，不过前提是你到时候拿过来的料子都是如这块帕子一般，但凡质量上有差距，我孙三娘都是不会收的。”
孙三娘心中有数，这料子不仅好，还是她之前没见过的，值得她花这个价钱买下来，前头说的那些话不过都是讨价还价的话术。
见魏若这么坚定，她也就不继续砍价了，怕再砍下去这桩买卖跑了。
“那再过两日我就将料子送过来，请孙老板当面验货。”魏若道。
“一言为定。”孙三娘道。
魏若和孙三娘谈完出来的时候，魏清婉和白氏已经不在彩云间铺子里面了。
魏若特地查看了店内所有伙计的情况，确定店内没有人身体不适后就离开了。
今天时辰也不早了，魏若和秀梅回到来时的宅子里换好了衣服，重新坐上了马车。
“嬷嬷，跟着来的这两个护卫可有问你我的去处？”
马车上，魏若问张嬷嬷。
“他们问了好几次了，但老奴没说，只说耐心等着，小姐办完事情自然会回来的。”张嬷嬷回答道。
“那就好。”
“不过小姐，他们回去怕是要跟老夫人提这事的。”张嬷嬷道。
“不用担心，他们要禀报就让他们禀报去好了。”魏若淡定道。
Wei Ruo was not afraid that the two guards would become suspicious, nor was he afraid of what they would say to the old lady when they went back.
She is not afraid of her reputation being ruined, but Uncle Zhongyi is worried about her reputation.
So when the guards went back and reported the matter to the old lady, there was a high chance that the old lady would just keep them secretive.
At this juncture, the second elder would not punish her. The most he would do was restrict her from going out next time.
It was already late when Wei Ruo returned home and had dinner in Changchun Garden.
Her food has gotten much better these days, and the dishes served to her in the big kitchen are not only fresh but also rich.
Just after dinner, Wei Ruo heard that the mansion had hired a doctor for Bai and Wei Qingwan.
The reason was that after the two of them and their maid came back from outside, they had red rashes in many places on their bodies, which were itchy and unbearable.
I heard that Mrs. Bai was so uncomfortable that she cried and screamed, and when she couldn't bear the itching, she tore off a piece of her clothes.
Wei Qingwan was not much better. She shed a lot of tears and rolled on the bed. Yun was so anxious that she was sweating. Even the old lady was alarmed and rushed to express her condolences in person.
Now that the doctor hasn't arrived, the people in the house don't know what happened to them or whether they were infected with some strange disease.
Xiumei covered her mouth and snickered, what kind of disease is this? This is her lady’s special medicine powder!
Just now in Caiyunjian, Wei Ruo applied the medicinal powder on the cloth that Wei Qingwan had chosen. Later, when Wei Qingwan and Bai touched the cloth again, they naturally came into contact with the medicinal powder. Anyone who comes into contact with this medicinal powder will develop a red rash and it will be unbearable, but it will not be life-threatening and usually subsides on its own in two or three days.
Later, when Wei Ruo left Caiyunjian, she made sure to check if any of the store clerks were feeling unwell just in case any of the store clerks came into contact with the fabric again. She didn't want to accidentally injure innocent people.
If an innocent person accidentally comes into contact with it, if Wei Ruo has the antidote, the symptoms will disappear immediately after taking it.
Later in the evening, Xiumei went to inquire again and learned that the doctor invited by the family could not find out what diseases Bai and Wei Qingwan had, and only prescribed some ordinary rash medicine for them to take. .
The second and third bedrooms had a hard time that night. Both Bai and Wei Qingwan cried and fussed until dawn.
The symptoms were relieved the next day, but the rash still did not subside, and the medicine prescribed by the doctor had no effect.
Everyone in the house was worried, especially Wei Qingwan. They were afraid that her rash would be bad, that she would not be able to get sick, and that the rash would leave traces that would make it impossible to explain to His Highness Prince Yu in the future.
After three days of this, Bai and Wei Qingwan's rashes finally subsided without leaving any scars. The Wei family felt relieved.
###
February 20th.
Xu Fengyuan visited Wei Yichen.
The general examination is approaching, and Xu Fengyuan came to the capital to take the exam.
At this time, Xu Fengyuan should have been preparing for the exam at his residence, but instead he came to find Wei Yichen.
At this moment, in Wei Yichen's study, Xu Fengyuan had a calm face, his handsome face was dark, and there was a hint of anger between his eyebrows.
"Why didn't you stop it? You just watched Ruo'er's sister being arranged for such a marriage?" Xu Fengyuan asked Wei Yichen.
Before leaving for the capital, he felt angry when he heard that Uncle Zhongyi's house had arranged a marriage for Wei Ruo to marry the nearly sixty-year-old Marquis Xuanping.
When he arrived in the capital, he heard that Wei Ruo had been married to the Ninth Prince, who was about to die soon, and he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
After much thought, he still felt irritated, so he decided to come to Wei Yichen to ask for clarification.
Xu Fengyuan said bitterly and angrily: "I chose to give up and give in not because I wanted her to have a second marriage or to marry someone who was not going to die and become a widow. She should marry someone who is better than me and can protect her better than me!" Wei
Yichen He replied expressionlessly: "Brother Xu, you are too self-motivated. Now is the critical period of preparing for the exam. You should not be distracted by these trivial matters."
Xu Fengyuan looked at Wei Yichen very puzzled: "I am an outsider, but Ruo'er is your sister and the person who saved your life twice. Why are you so indifferent to her?" Wei Yichen looked at Xu Fengyuan with an indifferent expression
. : "Brother Xu, what do you think I can do? Can anyone change the emperor's marriage? Not to mention the emperor's marriage, even the previous marriage with Xuanping Houfu, we are also powerless to change anything." Xu Fengyuan was silent
. : "But... Ruo'er... do you really want her to be married off and become a widow? How can you bear it?"
When Xu Fengyuan thought about Wei marrying a dying person, he felt as if his heart was being pressed by a huge stone. .
"Brother Xu, if you want to protect the people you want to protect, you should make yourself stronger, otherwise it will be empty talk. For you and me, the best way to protect your family is to take the imperial examination and become an official in the court. Rather than wasting time here."
Xu Fengyuan was stunned and looked at Wei Yichen blankly.
"So it's not that you don't care about your eldest sister, but that you know how to protect her?"
