Noble First Daughter-in-law

That night, Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi rushed to Changle Square to appease the patients—however, when they arrived there, they found that there were only a few people making trouble, and they had already been suppressed by the guards.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yu Mingyue delivered hundreds of catties of medicinal materials they needed next to Yu Wenye, and in the evening of the same day, Yanzuofang released more than 400 cured patients.

Seeing that the situation is getting better and better, all the people in Daxing City are very happy.

But the mood of the people in Changle Fang only became more depressed.

Until the third day, early in the morning, Pei Xingyuan delivered the medicine with drums and gongs.

No matter how dissatisfied and resentful, the patients in Changle Square happily went to line up when they saw that there was a life-saving medicine. Shang Ruyi also came here early in the morning and saw the queue line After getting up, she walked forward calmly, and after a while, she reached the entrance.

I saw that Pei Xingyuan's subordinates set up a long table in front of him, with a few empty bowls neatly placed on the table, and a few young and strong servants carrying medicine pots, standing on the long table in an orderly manner. at the table.

Everything seems to be the same as before.

The only difference is Mr. Accountant.

The previous accountants all sat behind the long table, and when someone came up, he had to pay the bill first, report his address and name, and after registration, he was given medicine.

But today, those accountants were standing in front of the table, holding account books in their hands, without a pen.

Moreover, there were a few people standing behind them, holding a few boxes in their hands. They looked serious and looked a bit like a Dharma protector, which made the patients a little surprised, and they began to discuss in a low voice——

"What's going on today?"

"They have cured so many people in Yanzuofang, but our lives are miserable, and we fall into Changlefang. We have to pay for medicines, but we still can't drink good medicines."

"It has to be that Mr. Yuwen has a kind heart."

"Shh, keep your voice down—"

Hearing these words, Shang Ruyi frowned.

But she didn't explain anything right away, she just stood quietly on the side of the street, and when she looked up, she saw Pei Xingyuan waddling to the front of the line.

Seeing him, the team boiled even more.

A few people at the front of the line had already said: "Young Master Pei, you fooled us with useless soups and medicines for the past two days. Today, it must be useful soups and medicines, right?"

"We gave money, so we must be cured!"

"Mr. Pei, people are conscientious!"

Hearing these words, Pei Xingyuan only smiled, then raised his hand.

Immediately, the voices of those discussions fell silent.

The injury on his hand is still not healed, and it is still wrapped in a layer of bandages. Although he still looks like a handsome young man facing the wind, his movements are somewhat funny and clumsy. When he saw him, although he was worried, But Shang Ruyi couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

Facing everyone's questioning, Pei Xingyuan was not only not ashamed or embarrassed, but the smile on his face deepened a little.He nodded leisurely and said: "Everyone, what you said is correct!"

"..."

"Human, speak conscience."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help sneering, and some even rolled their eyes.

Pei Xingyuan said: "So today, someone Pei not only brought you medicine, but also wants to settle the accounts for you!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and couldn't help but look at each other.

Settle accounts?How else to settle accounts?

He had already sold a bowl of decoction at a high price of one penny before, but now he said he had to settle the score, could it be that the price has to be raised?
Just when the crowd was slightly angry, and even a few young people were about to rush up to make trouble again, Pei Xingyuan smiled and asked the middle-aged man at the front of the line: "Your Excellency, who lives in Fangshi, what is your name?" ah?"

This man was dressed plainly and even had a pudding on his cuff. Obviously his family was not well-off. Hearing Pei Xingyuan's question, he lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Huaizhen Square, General Chen."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again, and reached into his arms to touch his purse.

And Pei Xingyuan had already turned his head and glanced at the accountants behind him. One of them, who was holding the account book of Huaizhenfang, immediately turned to that page and said loudly: "General Chen, take fifteen bowls of soup and medicine, and the total amount is one or two five in silver." money."

Everyone was stunned, wondering why he reported the decoction he received and the money he paid a few days ago.

The people behind became more and more puzzled, and they stuck their heads out to look forward.

Pei Xingyuan waved his hand again, and the person standing behind the accountant immediately opened the box in his hand, and took out a tael or five coins from it, while on the other side, the person holding the medicine pot also poured a bowl of medicine.

General Chen immediately froze: "This, this is—"

Pei Xingyuan smiled and said: "Everyone, from today onwards, no money will be taken for the soup and medicine, and I, Pei, will refund all the soup and medicine fees I collected in the past!"

"...!"

Upon hearing this, the entire Changle Square immediately fell silent!

Everyone couldn't believe their ears, and some people even reached out and pinched their arms. They realized it was true under severe pain, and they were immediately pleasantly surprised.

As for General Chen, who was ranked first, he had completely lost his ability to react. He just stared blankly at a person walking in front of him and returning the silver taels he had paid before. After he sank, he suddenly came back to his senses, and when he looked up again, he met Pei Xingyuan's eyes with crooked smiles: "The soup is getting cold, why don't you drink it quickly?"

"..."

Chen Jiang put the silver into his arms with trembling hands, picked up the medicine bowl again, and drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking the bowl of medicine, General Chen turned around to leave. Everyone just looked at his face which was so numb that he seemed to have no expression, but he stopped after taking two steps.

As soon as he stopped, the breathing and heartbeat of the people around him seemed to stop as well.

Everyone watched him turn his head away, staring straight at Pei Xingyuan who was still smiling, and suddenly said loudly: "Mr. Pei, you, why did you sell such high-priced medicine before, and now you refund our money? ?”

As soon as he said this, it seemed to open a gate.

At first, everyone couldn't believe that Pei Xingyuan would really return all the money he earned before, but seeing that General Chen had already received the money, everyone felt that it was like a dream. Asking questions easily, I'm only worried that if they ask, it will bring back the conflicting memories between them and Pei Xingyuan these days. If Mr. Pei has a change of heart and doesn't pay back, what should I do?
However, when Chen Jiang opened his mouth, he indeed asked everyone's confusion. For a while, everyone couldn't hold back, and started to ask questions in a hurry——

"Yes, Mr. Pei, why on earth is this?"

"Do you really want to pay us back the money?"

"Since you have to pay back the money now, why did you sell it at such a high price before?"

……

Hearing these noisy words, the smile on Pei Xingyuan's face became brighter. He slowly raised his hands and waved at the crowd. Everyone immediately quieted down, and those standing in the front of the line couldn't stop waving towards the back , signaling everyone to be quiet.

Pei Xingyuan enjoyed such an overwhelming feeling more and more.

He raised his chin and said with a smile: "Everyone, it was true that Mr. Pei sold high-priced medicine before, but in fact, it was requested by the second son of Yuwen."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked again.

And before the crowd reacted and there was no more commotion, Pei Xingyuan had already said loudly: "Everyone, some of you here may have been infected with the plague a long time ago, and went to the city to seek medical treatment. However, I found that there is no medicine for the disease in the city, no matter the medical center or the pharmacy, so your illness has been delayed until now, isn't it?"

Someone immediately nodded: "Yes, we all know this."

Pei Xingyuan said: "But there is one thing I didn't tell you, that is the medicine in our hands - not much."

"..."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, but after chewing on the word "not much", they immediately understood what was going on.

Someone said in surprise: "Mr. Pei, what do you mean—"

Pei Xingyuan looked at their round staring eyes full of astonishment, he also suppressed his smile, and said seriously, word by word: "I mean, the medicine in my hand is not enough to save all of you!"

"...!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately showed a terrified expression.

Pei Xingyuan immediately smiled again, and said: "But don't worry, everyone, since I can tell you the truth now, it is also because the medicinal materials have been assembled."

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Then General Chen immediately said: "But, Mr. Pei, the medicinal materials are not enough, so what does it have to do with you and Mr. Yuwen collecting money?"

Pei Xingyuan smiled and said: "Everyone, I believe you also know the truth that rare goods can live. Life-saving things, let alone a penny, even if I sell you a tael of silver, in order to survive, you have to pay obediently! There is no medicine in the whole Guanzhong now Now, if someone can bring out the medicine, if the price is high, in order to save your lives, the second son Yuwen and I can only pay for it."

"..."

"However, we are also worried that we don't have enough money."

"..."

"So I can only take some silver taels from you first, and prepare a huge sum of money, just to save you. If there is any remaining silver, it will naturally be returned to you according to the records in the ledger. If there is no leftover-but anyway, You can survive, can't you?"

General Chen said: "Then this medicine——"

Pei Xingyuan smiled again, and then said: "This medicine, the second son of Yuwen has traveled through mountains and rivers these days, exposed to rain and wind, and endured hardship—"

Seeing that his words became more and more outrageous, Shang Ruyi coughed lightly.

Pei Xingyuan stopped immediately, glanced at her with a smirk, and then straightened his expression and said: "In short, the second son of Yuwen tried his best and finally found medicine for you, which is enough for you to use later. It can save people, money It is naturally not important to us, so now, it is not bad, and I will refund it to you!"

At this moment, the entire Changle Square immediately boiled up!

Everyone was surprised and happy. The disappointment, pain, resentment, and all the decadent emotions in the past were completely moved and grateful at this moment. They all burst into tears and said excitedly: "In the past, we were the ones who blamed the second son of Yuwen and Pei. son."

"Young Master Yuwen, you are truly a living Bodhisattva!"

"We are so lucky to be rescued by the second son!"

"Young Master Pei, where is Second Young Master? We are going to kowtow to him!"

Seeing these people cheering and jumping for joy, they were not only more enthusiastic than when they had to settle accounts with him before, they were even happier and more joyful than Yan Zuofang sending back those cured patients at Mingdemen, Pei Xingyuan also felt a little He was terrified, but luckily the guards around him had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and hurriedly stopped these patients.

And Pei Xingyuan settled down, and immediately said with a smile: "Everyone, the second son appreciates your kindness."

"..."

"But he is a person who only does business and doesn't appreciate it."

"..."

"As long as you all recover, our hard work will not be in vain, and I, Pei, will not be in vain these days. In short, you all line up, obediently receive money, drink medicine, and cure your illness , just go home!"

Hearing his words, the common people didn't obey. They stood in the line more obediently than usual, all of them were smiling, and some were so happy that they were so happy that they couldn't even speak.

Sure enough, according to Pei Xingyuan's words, the people behind came up one by one, and according to the previous records, they got back the money and drank the medicine. More festive and lively.

Even Wu Zanzhi came forward at this time.

He looked ahead in silence, and after a long time, he looked at Shang Ruyi and said softly, "Young Madam, this—"

Shang Ruyi smiled.

"..."

Wu Zhezhi is also a smart person, so how can he not understand their intentions, what's more, there is no medicine in the city, but Yanzuo Fang can donate medicine for more than ten days, and just yesterday, the head of General Zuo Xiaowei The identity of the female Yu Mingyue was suddenly revealed, and all the medicinal materials hoarded in her home were also taken out, and too many things were revealed.

After a long silence, Wu Zanzhi said softly, "It's a lower official who misunderstood the Second Young Master and the Young Madam, and even more Misunderstood Young Master Pei."

After finishing speaking, he possessed himself and bowed: "Please forgive me."

Shang Ruyi then smiled and said: "Master Wu, you don't care about life and death these days, and you don't avoid epidemics. You treat patients in Changle Square and do everything yourself. Is this a crime? If so, please don't change, Mr. Wu."

Hearing this, Wu Zang was taken aback, and then he understood.

He smiled, and looked up at those patients who had received the money and drank the medicine, all of them were beaming, and even the sickness on their faces had faded a little, and said softly: "No matter what, the official will still replace these patients." People, thank you Second Young Master and Young Madam."

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "You're welcome."

After finishing speaking, Wu Zanzhi didn't talk too much, and just continued to busy himself with his own affairs.

But when Shang Ruyi turned her head again, she saw Pei Xingyuan walking beside her with a smile, and said, "I really didn't expect this plan to work so well."

As he said that, he looked at the people around him again: "It's just getting my own money back, how can it be successful like this?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Sometimes, finding something after losing it is even more surprising than having it all the time."

"..."

"Now that I have the medicine, I can survive, and I can also see the money. This is a triple joy. Naturally, it is much more effective than the kindness I have always been given!"

"Oh……"

Pei Xingyuan suddenly realized, and murmured: "No wonder, Wuzheng has been reminding me before, asking me to endure being scolded, don't tell the difference, saying that there will always be compensation in the future - that old man just now, in his 80s, still needs to Kowtow to me, it's good that the people next to him will pull him up, or I will be beaten to death."

Shang Ruyi smiled.

And after laughing, she looked up again, and saw outside Changle Square, not far from the opposite side of the long street, a figure she was already familiar with was standing there, with a pair of eyes that were slightly raised, looking arrogant and fierce, looking coldly. watching her.

It's Yu Mingyue.

She didn't know when she arrived at Yanzuofang, and she didn't know when she started to look at the situation here, but judging from the expression on her face, she should have watched it for a long time, and she had already done what they were going to do. You can see everything below.

That's why his face is so ugly.

Meeting her sharp gaze, Shang Ruyi still smiled slightly, and even nodded slightly.

Yu Mingyue's eyes became sharper.

For a long time, Dongcheng and Yanzuofang have always had the upper hand in controlling the plague in Daxing City, but they did not expect that at this time, Shang Ruyi and the others would turn their backs, not only forcing Yu Wenyuan to She took out the medicines she had hoarded before, and as soon as she turned her head, she refunded all the money she had paid for the medicines at a high price to the patients in Changlefang.

As Shang Ruyi said, it is more surprising to find something lost than to have it all the time.

Just like those people who have been receiving medicine from her in Yanzuofang, their gratitude to her Yu Wenzhen is definitely not comparable to that of the people who have received free soup and medicine at this moment, and also got back the money they gave out before, to Yu Wenye. , Shang Ruyi and Pei Xingyuan are grateful!

Human nature, this is the case!
Even now, she didn't understand that what Shang Ruyi and the others set up in Changle Square was a serial scheme!

Selling high-priced medicines was originally designed to let Pei Xingyuan buy medicines from Jin Daji later, and draw out the mastermind behind it, but she had seen through that plan long ago, and used Jin Daji to kill Pei Xingyuan. Come on, the other party obviously failed too; but until now, she didn't understand that the other party's failure was just a failure on the surface. In the end, Pei Xingyuan's bitter trick made Yu Wenyuan believe that he had no more medicine, and when he knew that the plague broke out in Taiyuan, Yuwen After showing a possible illness, he forced Yu Wenqian to ask himself to take medicine...

In the end, he forced himself to show up.

In this matter, the opponent has already won a game.

But not only that, they returned the money at this time and bought back the hearts they lost before, but those soups and medicines that were given away without taking a penny were bought by her, Yu Mingyue, with real money!

Originally, he wanted to buy the hearts and minds of Yan Zuo Fang for Yu Wenzhen, but he didn't expect that they would be used by Yu Wenye and the others.

Unfortunately, she couldn't tell the truth.

Because these patients no longer hate Pei Xingyuan who sells high-priced medicines, but they will definitely remember that when they were sick and sought medical treatment, they could not find any medicine in Daxing City. Sleepy Changle Square; if they found out that they collected all the medicinal materials in Daxing City, including the Guanzhong area, these people would definitely transfer their hatred to themselves!

If it is transferred to oneself, it is very likely that it will be transferred to Yu Wenjian's body as well!

Thinking of this, Yu Mingyue couldn't help clenching her teeth.
