Chapter 448 Wei Qingwan had a dispute with the Yun family,
"Brother Xu, what status will Ruoer have in the future and whether she will be respected by her husband's family after she gets married? Her father and brother played a big role. As long as the Wei family is strong, as long as If my father and I can have a place in the court, even if she becomes a widow, she will be able to live a safe and smooth life in the future. On the contrary, even if she can get a good marriage now, she may not be able to live happily in the future." Xu
Fengyuan He was stunned in place, not knowing how to answer.
Wei Yichen continued: "Brother Xu, everything in this world is difficult to do as you wish. If you want to protect those you love and punish those you hate, you must have the ability to do so. The test is once every three years. If you miss it, you will have to wait another three years. Don't I was confused and missed a good opportunity."
After listening to Wei Yichen's words, Xu Fengyuan suddenly realized that he seemed to be really motivated.
"I understand, Brother Yichen. It's true that I didn't consider this matter thoroughly. Thank you Brother Yichen for your guidance."
Xu Fengyuan bowed his hands and expressed his gratitude to Wei Yichen.
Then he said goodbye and left Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion, returned to his temporary residence in the capital, and turned around to study and prepare for the exam.

Wei Ruo is looking at the account books in his room. There is still a lot of work to do before Yueju opens.
Raw material cost, labor cost, sales strategy, all aspects must be considered carefully.
"Miss, there's a message from Tongdetang." Xiumei walked in and brought back news from outside.
"What should I say?"
"The previous two batches of medicine have been sold out, especially the skin care cream, which sells very well and is deeply loved by ladies and ladies in various houses. Some of them are in short supply." "That's good." "
Also
, I have been asked several times about the scar-removing ointment that the young lady sells on consignment at Tongde Hall, but no one has bought it yet." "
Yes, I understand."
As expected, she deliberately set the ointment to high The ridiculous sky-high price was not meant for people to buy it.
"Miss, I heard that the second lady has been very close to the second lady recently. Do you think the second lady will lend money to the second lady to buy ointment?" Xiumei asked.
The second wife, Bai, was born into a merchant family, and her grandfather was once very wealthy. Although it later declined, and because her father was the second son, she only received 20% of her grandfather's property, she was still much richer than the average family.
Therefore, Uncle Zhongyi's house has no money, but Bai is rich personally, and she has a generous dowry.
In recent years, Wei Mingyong's business failed frequently and he suffered losses again and again. Behind the scenes, the Bai family used her dowry to cover the whole situation for him.
If Wei Qingwan really wanted to buy the ointment Wei Ruo placed in Tongde Hall, she would have no choice but to turn to the Bai family for help.
"If she can't borrow the money, then she can only watch as the ointment is right in front of her, but she can't get it. This feeling is more uncomfortable than not having the ointment; if she really borrows the money, she really plans to spend a sky-high price to get it. If she buys this ointment, I can earn her two thousand taels from a box of ointment. Just thinking about it makes her happy!"
In short, Wei Ruo is happy whether Wei Qingwan buys it or not.
After hearing Wei Ruo's answer, Xiumei nodded repeatedly, and then took out a letter from her arms: "By the way, miss, this is a letter from Miss Xie to you."
Wei Ruo immediately took it and read it.
"Miss, what did Miss Xie say?"
"Yingying said she would come see me in two days."
"That's great!"
"Well, prepare more delicious food then." Wei Ruo is also looking forward to meeting Xie Ying 's reunion. Wei Ruozheng was talking to Xiumei, and the green screen outside the door came to invite Mrs. Yun.
"Miss, the madam asked the slave to invite the eldest lady to come over."
"Okay, I understand."
Wei Ruo didn't know what Yun wanted to do with him, so he just went there anyway.
Wei Ruo followed Cuiping to Anxin Pavilion, the residence of the Yun family in Zhongyi Bofu.
This house is slightly smaller than the old lady's Shou'an Hall, but it is still much more spacious than their residence in Taizhou Mansion.
Wei Ruo entered the room and saw Wei Qingwan. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip. She didn't look very good.
When Mrs. Yun saw Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er, take a look, these are the dowries prepared for you by my mother."
On the table to the right of Mrs. Yun were two newly made mahogany red lacquered pieces about one foot long and half a foot wide. box.
Wei Ruo walked to Mrs. Yun and saw two boxes each containing silver ingots and some jewelry, as well as house deeds and land deeds.
The contents in the two boxes looked similar.
Yun said: "There are not many things, but mother has given you the best as much as possible."
Wei Ruo didn't say anything, she didn't know whether to accept these things.
According to her own temperament, she did not want these things from the Yun family, but the moment she saw these things, some pictures of the original owner emerged in her mind.
The original owner had suffered for more than ten years and did not get the care and love of the Yun family in the end. He should at least get some money, which is better than letting the Yun family give it all to Wei Qingwan.
Just as Wei Ruo was thinking, Wei Qingwan spoke: "Mom, second aunt is willing to help me, why don't you agree?" "
Wanwan, you are confused. You have two thousand taels of silver. Is it worth buying a box of ointment with so much silver? ?" Yun said earnestly.
It seems that before Wei Ruo came, Wei Qingwan and Yun were discussing this issue, and the discussion did not go very smoothly.
"Why isn't it worth it? It would be fine if I married into an ordinary family. Now I want to be Prince Yu's concubine. If there are scars on my back, how will I be favored and how will I survive in the palace?" Wei Qingwan's eyes widened. With tears in his eyes, he asked questions.
Yun's mood was complicated. Such a big thing happened in the house that day. Her husband almost beat Wanwan to death. It was a mercy to be able to survive. She didn't care about whether there would be scars on her back after using family methods. .
But who would have thought that there would be such a change later, causing Wanwan to become Prince Yu's concubine, causing the scars on her back left by the family law to become a big problem.
The scar is indeed a problem but the ointment is too expensive! They were reluctant to buy the first one hundred taels per box, but two thousand taels was simply a money grab!
Wei Qingwan continued: "I don't want my mother to lend me the money now. My second aunt is willing to lend me the money. Why is my mother still unwilling to let go?" Mrs. Yun sighed: "Your second aunt lent you the money.
" , I asked you to write an IOU, and you have to pay it back in full in the future! Where will you get the money to pay her back in the future?"
Wei Qingwan said: "I will figure out how to do it by then! At most, I will sell the dowry and pay it back to her!"
" You don't know your second aunt yet. She and your second uncle are not simple-minded and put profit first in everything. If you lend her so much money, it may be a big trouble for you!" said Yun.
"My daughter doesn't understand. Mother, my daughter is in trouble. My second aunt is willing to help me. Even if she has the heart of a businessman and wants to make money from her daughter, then why not? It's better than being indifferent and not caring about her life or death. Right?" Wei Qingwan asked.
