Chapter 216: Recent Situation
"It's been a while, and I didn't dare to make it public before because I was afraid that someone would find out about it and it would be unfavorable to the Seventh Prince, not to mention that the person who harmed the Seventh Prince has not been found yet, if the other party thinks that the Seventh Prince has encountered an unexpected stop, our search will put the Seventh Prince in a dangerous situation." Wei Mingting explained.
"How are the Seven Princes doing now?" Wei Qingwan asked.
"I haven't seen it either, I just know that there is nothing wrong with people." ιζεΊιγ
Wei Ruo was not too surprised by this matter, because he had already learned about the relevant news from Mrs. Yuan before.
It's just that Wei Ruo has some emotion in his heart, he is worthy of being the male protagonist of the original work, and his vitality is not ordinary tenacity, even so, he can still be alive.
Normally, they have been missing for more than a month, and they should have died a long time ago.
Since he talked about the matter of the Seventh Prince, Wei Mingting even told his family about some things in the court recently.
"But that's the Seventh Prince, how could anyone be so bold and dare to harm His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince?" Wei Qingwan couldn't help but ask.
Wei Mingting had no answer to this, so he could only tell his children: "The dispute between the princes in the capital has been going on for a long time, and after the death of Empress Xu, the emperor has not established a new queen for a long time, nor has he established a prince, so there is now this complicated court situation." β
Although the Seventh Prince is the most promising one among the many princes, as long as the emperor does not establish a prince for a day, the other princes still have a chance.
"Why did the emperor delay the establishment of a prince?" Wei Qingwan asked again.
Speaking of this, Wei Mingting suddenly frowned, as if he remembered something from the past, and his expression became a little complicated.
The Yun family on the side hurriedly said: "Wanwan, the matter of the court has nothing to do with us, don't ask more." β
Wei Qingwan nodded hurriedly and stopped asking questions.
Wei Mingting also told his family: "Recently, the situation in the capital has been changeable, although we are in the south of the Yangtze River and far away from the struggle, we must also be cautious in our words and deeds outside, and we must not fall behind. β
Although Wei Mingting did not participate in the court struggle, as an official position, he must also restrain himself and his subordinates to avoid being involved in disputes.
"Don't worry, the father will be careful." Wei Yichen took the lead in saying that he was studying at Anzhou Academy, and he would come into contact with many children of the family, so he should be most careful.
Wei Qingwan also followed up and said, "Daddy, don't worry, your daughter will never talk nonsense and cause trouble to the family." β
Wei Mingting nodded.
Then Wei Mingting returned his attention to Wei Ruo and asked Wei Ruo about the specific matters of fighting the plague these days.
Wei Ruo didn't hide it, and answered everything he could.
Although she didn't stay in the prefect's mansion these days, she did arrange the relevant things to fight the plague, so in the face of Wei Mingting's inquiry, she could answer them one by one.
Her answer completely dispelled the doubts of the Yun family and the others, at first they thought that what Mrs. Yuan said might be a bit exaggerated, but now that it sounds, what Mrs. Yuan said should be the truth, and this matter is indeed arranged by their daughter.
After chatting about the back, even the Yun clan couldn't help but praise Wei Ruo again and again.
Wei Qingwan shrank aside, becoming non-existent.
Listening to Wei Mingting, Yun Shi and Wei Yichen's praise of Wei Ruo, her heart was indescribably bitter.
After chatting for half an hour, considering that Wei Ruo hadn't had a good rest for a few days, Wei Mingting let Wei Ruo go back to his courtyard to rest.
Wei Ruo, who returned to listen to Songyuan, immediately inquired about Wei Jinyi's news.
"Has the second brother returned to Yingzhuyuan?"
"I came back, I just saw Xiaobei ask him, the second young master and the young lady went back to the house at the same time, but the second young master climbed over the wall, and it is said that no one in the house knows that the second young master has been out for a while." Xiumei replied.
"It's good to be back." Wei Ruo didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to make sure that Wei Jin had also returned home safely.
Then Wei Ruo began to check the letters sent to her by the nurse and the steward Yu these days.
The letter explained some of the situation in Zhuangzi during this period, and in general, the situation in Zhuangzi was not bad.
Because the houses are all newly built, they have withstood the snow disaster. And the food stored in the Zhuangzi is also enough, and the big guys are basically not hungry, and they don't know how much luckier they are than many people outside.
Two Sibao Zhai, Xu Ji Lo Mei Shop and Xu Ji Grain Shop also sent news, after the possibility of the plague, the four shops were closed and suspended under the instruction of the nurse.
Wei Ruo was worried that they would take risks to operate for the sake of profits, but fortunately, the nurse understood her mind and closed the store for a month.
Especially Xu Ji grain shop, during the Chinese New Year, the business of other shops may not be good, but if the grain shop is open, the business will definitely be good.
She was worried that the nurse and Uncle Xu would be reluctant to hold on to this part of the proceeds, but fortunately they had the same idea as her.
In addition, the letter sent by Steward Yu recently also talked about Zhu Zongyu.
Zhu Zongyu had left Zhuangzi three days earlier, leaving behind five hundred taels of silver tickets as a reward and thank you to Wei Ruo.
Zhu Zongyu originally wanted to wait for Wei Ruo to return to Zhuangzi before leaving, but Wei Ruo did not appear for a long time, and Zhu Zongyu seemed to have something urgent to do, so he could only leave first.
Before leaving, Zhu Zongyu also left a letter, saying that when Wei Ruo came back, he would ask Wei Ruo to buy ointment.
Because the scar removal ointment that Wei Ruo had configured for him before was about to run out, and he still needed to apply the ointment for a long time if he wanted the wound to be completely healed.
Wei Ruo has no problem with this, people give money, and they give back a high price, which can be regarded as having a conscience.
As long as you don't get her in trouble, the money is definitely earned.
When she had free time these days, she went to get the ointment out.

Drunken Immortal Residence backyard.
There was a man standing in front of Fan Chengxu, dressed in luxurious clothes, but he hid his face with a hat to prevent people from seeing half of his face.
Fan Chengxu was respectful, bowed to the man, and saluted: "Fan Chengxu, the grass people, has seen His Royal Highness the Seventh. β
"After the famous family, you are not an official in the court, but you go to this place far away from the court to do business, you Fan Chengxu is the only one." Chu Lan commented.
"I have nothing else to do, I'm afraid that being an official will only insult the reputation of the elders in the family, so it's better to do some small business and earn some money to live a leisurely life." Fan Chengxu replied.
"Well, thanks to your business here, you helped me a lot when I was in danger." Chu Lan said.
After Chu Lan finished speaking, his subordinates came to Fan Chengxu with a whole box of gold, silver and jewelry.
"What is this doing, Your Highness the Seventh?" Fan Chengxu said busily.
"It's a thank you." Chu Lan said, "I borrowed eight hundred taels of silver from you, and I have to pay it back." β
Eight hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and there are not too many people in Taizhou Mansion who can take out so much silver at once.
