Chapter 1944: Chapter 1944: Letter from the Capital (5)
"I’ll buy!" Bin Kui laughed. He was a filial son, seeing his mother distressed made him particularly upset, but unfortunately, even after consulting the Imperial Physician, it was always treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
"I’ve brought four pears this time, they can last for a few days." Yang Ruxin said as she handed over the basket, "This is a friendship gift."
"Ha ha ha." Bin Kui grinned, "Madam, I, Bin Kui, may be a rough person, but I value loyalty. In the future, if Madam ever needs my assistance, as long as it’s not something unfilial or treacherous, I will certainly oblige." He knew that Yang Ruxin wasn’t short on money, so he wouldn’t offer silver. Instead, he gave a promise, a gentleman’s word is worth a thousand gold, and Bin Kui would definitely keep his word.
As for the offer to buy the ingredients, that was also to avoid making him feel overly indebted and uncomfortable, knowing he could afford the silver.
This shows that Madam Ruyi is indeed a person worth befriending.
"Thank you, Commander Bin." Yang Ruxin waved her hand, "If we ever truly need help, my husband and I won’t hesitate to ask. But rest assured, we won’t engage in unfilial activities."
"Thank you, Xinxin." After leaving the Bin Family home, Gu Qingheng held Yang Ruxin’s hand. Her effort to build a friendship with Bin Kui was also paving the way for him.
"Thank what? If you’re doing well, then I can be well." Yang Ruxin gave Gu Qingheng a sidelong glance, "We’re a team, besides, Bin Kui is indeed worth befriending."
Wei Family.
Wei Yao ran away, causing the Wei Family to be unable to immediately side with Zhao Yunliang, making the Wei Family’s old master and Wei Bingyi very anxious. What’s more aggravating was that Wei Bingcen also left the shop for that dead girl, declaring he wouldn’t return until he found her.
They might as well remove this unfilial son from the family.
Thus, after Wei Bingcen made his decision, the old master of the Wei Family removed this son from the family registry.
This action brought the greatest joy to Wei Bingyi’s family; the Wei Family should belong to them, and illegitimate children should much rather be sidelined.
However, the Yang Family later provided another batch of dolls, which brought joy again to the Wei Family. Having dolls means having silver, of course, they were even happier because a young lady from a Wei Family branch was noticed by Zhao Yunliang, so the previous critical relations suddenly quickly eased.
The Wei Family was indeed basking in glory.
Meanwhile, Wei Shicheng also sent word back saying that by the end of the year, the main position at the Court of Judicial might be shifting, with a possibility of promotion to vice minister—a third-rank official—since one vice minister is of age for retirement, and of the two principal officials, his qualifications and network are superior to the other.
Of course, this also requires financial activities.
The Wei Family was currently not lacking in silver.
Because they devised another method, which was to separate the previous medicine bundles, one could then become four, turning one doll into four, and one doll could sell for hundreds of silver...
But just when everyone was happy, news suddenly arrived saying that the Longfeng Embroidery Store in Beijing had been shut down.
"How could it be shut down?" Wei Bingyi immediately sensed something was wrong, "Has it been verified?"
"It’s news from Beijing." The butler was also quite bewildered, "It’s usually this channel..."
"It must be wrong," Wei Bingyi didn’t believe it, "Quickly write to uncle to verify... No, I’ll personally make a trip to Beijing..."
