Chapter 143: Borrowing Strength
"The Third Prince's Consort went straight to the Fourteen States?"
The girl who came to report was very clever, and she quickly said, "From the direction she came from, she came from Fanlou, and she brought with her several other young ladies from other officials' families, all of whom were her close friends."
"The Third Prince's wife said she wanted to buy a unique scent for her best friend, but the Fourteen States don't do such business, so she said she wanted to smell all the scents and pick the most special one to give to someone..."
Everyone in Daliang loves fragrance, but pregnant women rarely touch it.
Fourteen states dare to send their products here for sale, and from the time the shop was opened until today, few people have made mistakes.
Zhao Fangyu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.
I'm afraid that my intention of giving it to her was not a gift, but my intention of causing her trouble was real.
"The shopkeepers tried to stop him, but it was not easy to stop him too obviously. When I arrived, Manager Qian had already had him pinned down and beaten with a stick..."
Chun Shao was so angry that her eyebrows were raised: "Why are you so arrogant!"
The little girl was also angry, her eyes were moist, "The Third Prince's Consort originally went to find Xiaodouzi, but Xiaodouzi didn't dare, so Aunt Qian stepped forward to rescue Xiaodouzi. In the end, Xiaodouzi was fine, but Mother Qian was tied up and slapped a few times by the big palace maid next to the Third Prince's Consort. They said... it was insubordination, so she was beaten."
Zhao Fangyu remembered the Aunt Qian the little girl mentioned. She was easy-going and many perfumes of wealthy ladies were sold by Aunt Qian.
With a lot of resources in his hands, he is considered an invisible sales champion in the fourteen states.
Zhao Fangyu will naturally remember those who are serious about their work.
"Send Aunt Qian home and find a doctor for her. You and Xiao Douzi should take care of her at her home during the days when Aunt Qian recovers from her injury."
"Tell Aunt Yang about the money for medical treatment and medicine, and the store will give it to you."
The little girl's tears fell, and Zhao Fangyu's face became even colder.
If the Third Prince's wife wanted to cause trouble, she could have just come openly and beaten her people on the interface. What does this mean?
Should I hit Zhou Qinghe's face or her face?
Afraid that she would make too much money, he wanted to use such a despicable method...
"Chun Shao, go to Renyitang to find a doctor."
Chunshao was puzzled, but she did what she wanted obediently. As soon as she got off the carriage, she ran to Renyitang.
The little maid followed the carriage and soon arrived at Fourteen States.
The area in front of the Fourteen States was already crowded with people, all watching Aunt Qian being beaten.
The one who beat him up was from the palace and he used a lot of force.
Aunt Qian gritted her teeth and said nothing, not wanting to embarrass the Fourteen States, but she could not stop the guards who were beating her. They were very skilled, and after a few hits the man passed out, then was woken up by the pain again and again, and this happened repeatedly. The girls from the Fourteen States all had tears in their eyes, and they looked hatefully at Yang Xiaofei, who was sitting in the hall with a cold face.
As soon as Zhao Fangyu arrived, he sent people to stop the guards. A few people pushed the guards aside and quickly stuffed two slices of ginseng into Aunt Qian's mouth.
"Miss Zhao stopped my people without asking any questions. Don't you know that she is committing an insubordination?"
Yang Xiaofei was wearing a green jacket with wide sleeves and a golden flower crown on her head.
An ebony chair was placed in front of the Fourteen States' gate, and he sat there watching Aunt Qian being tortured, as if he was watching some kind of show.
Zhao Fangyu has not yet held a wedding ceremony with Zhou Qinghe, so she is inferior to Yang Xiaofei in terms of ceremony.
Zhao Fangyu bowed from a distance, then said loudly to everyone: "Aunt Qian offended the Third Prince's wife, and I am not strict enough in my rule. There is no need for the Third Prince's wife to take action against such a wicked slave. I will still send her to the authorities."
Since the Third Prince's wife was involved, the people of Jingzhao Yin did not dare to neglect her, but they could not afford to offend Zhao Fangyu either, so they could only bring the unconscious Aunt Qian back to Jingzhao Yin.
Zhao Fangyu walked up the stairs. The pearl on her head was as big as a longan. There were probably not many pearls of this quality in the whole capital.
"The Third Prince's wife is in a good mood. Would you like to buy some spices?"
Yang Xiaofei nodded, with a half-smile on her face: "I just want to smell your fragrance. What's wrong? Is it that I can't smell it? Why are you resisting me?"
She stared at Zhao Fangyu, a hint of deep meaning flashing across her eyes: "Could it be that the upper class is following the lower class?"
"Miss Zhao has a good business, so it's normal for her to be on guard day and night. But you can't think everyone is a bad person. All the products from your fourteen states are sold to foreign countries. Don't you allow me, a local, to buy a few bottles to give to others for appreciation?"
Among those watching around were common people and servants of noble families. Someone had already passed the news back to the mansion. Horse-drawn carriages were parked one after another on the street, and inside the carriages were women from official families who were there to listen to the excitement.
Zhao Fangyu smiled twice, asked someone to open the umbrellas in the store, sent someone to make tea, and carried a kettle to serve water to the crowd.
Isn't it just for fun? How can it be as exciting as watching it in person?
Zhao Fangyu raised his hand, and Chunshao found the doctor and followed him.
"I'm afraid the Third Prince's wife has misunderstood. It's just that there are rules in the store. We don't sell to pregnant women or customers with allergies."
As he spoke, Zhao Fangyu pointed at the unique teacup in Yang Xiaofei's hand.
"My sister-in-law was once pregnant, and that's when I learned that there are many taboos for pregnant women in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Spices are good, but they should be used in moderation. There was once a pregnant woman who loved red plums very much, but suddenly became allergic to them after she became pregnant. That's why there are such rules in the store."
"The Third Prince's wife is of noble status, and her pregnancy is a great joy for the country. This child is also your Majesty's eldest grandson, so we must be careful and cautious."
"I'm afraid the people around her didn't serve you attentively. At such a critical moment, they actually brought you to the Fourteen States, a place with mixed smells and people coming and going. If you bump into someone, I'm afraid she can't afford to pay with ten lives."
As he spoke, his eyes moved twice at the senior palace maid behind Yang Xiaofei. His gaze was as cold as a mountain or a stream, and one glance at her made one feel as if ice water was poured into the bones.
Song Yue and Zhao Fangyu looked at each other, and the moment their eyes met, they couldn't help but lower their heads.
In an instant, he fell behind.
Zhao Fangyu pursed her lips and smiled, her lipstick-stained lips were as bright as a peony:
"The people around him were not careful and did not tell the Third Prince's wife that there was such a rule in the Fourteen States. Usually, when they saw a pregnant woman, these little girls would remind her a few words, but never wrote it down in writing. I never thought that there would be such a careless servant who couldn't even find out."
"Don't worry, Princess Third Prince. From now on, the Fourteen States will post this rule outside the door, so that your precious child will not be delayed by a careless lowly servant."
"Doesn't the Third Prince's wife want to find spices? Now she is outside the palace, so it is not convenient to ask the imperial physician to see her. This is the doctor from Renyitang. He will check her pulse first and ask about any taboos. The spices are in the store. You can buy whatever you like."
Zhao Fangyu guessed that Yang Xiaofei was going to make use of the baby in her belly. There was no need to abort the baby. She could easily drive Shisizhou out of the circle of noble ladies by spreading the news that Shisizhou's fragrant dew was harmful to pregnant women.
The matter of offspring is of great importance.
No one dares to gamble with children.
Zhao Fangyu remained calm, and the people outside, who seemed to understand what he was saying, nodded their heads, and sighed that the boss of the Fourteen States was a really good person, and even offered tea to those who came to watch the fun.
The Third Prince’s Consort: “…”
