Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen
Chapter 217: Plaque
"Ling'er, a girl from a good family should be kind and elegant, and be dignified and generous. How can she imitate those prostitutes in brothels, putting on makeup and making a fool of herself?"
Wei Linger widened her eyes in shock.
"Sister Yu..."
"Ling'er, as the legitimate daughter of the Wei family, you will marry into a prominent family and become the mistress of the household in the future. You should not pursue these vain and vulgar appearances. What do you think?"
Wei Linger: “…”
At this moment, a noise was heard outside the carriage.
Someone shouted excitedly: "Oh my God! The palace actually sent a plaque!"
"Go and see! This hasn't happened in years!"
Wei Linger suddenly opened the car curtain.
The crowd rushed towards Li Yan Fang.
At the entrance of Li Yan Fang, several people dressed in the uniforms of inner court guards respectfully handed a gold-inlaid nanmu plaque to Rong Zhixing. After Rong Zhixing bowed and thanked for the reward, he took it with excitement and ordered someone to hang it up immediately.
Suddenly, the crackling sound of firecrackers rang out. Amidst the laughter and joy, the red cloth covering the plaque was removed and hung high on the top of the gate of Liyanfang, revealing a few golden characters: "Liyanfang".
The characters were written with silver outlines and iron strokes, penetrating deep into the wood, with sharp brush strokes, and a sense of dominance rolled in, but they strangely blended with the warmth and beauty of Li Yan Fang, creating a beauty of both hardness and softness.
Xia Feng followed Rong Zhixing, staring at the plaque excitedly, his heart full of admiration at the moment: "Master, no wonder you asked us not to make the plaque first. It turns out that you knew someone in the palace would send the plaque."
Zhenniang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She asked, "Master, I wonder which noble person in the palace gave this plaque to you?"
At this moment, someone pointed at the signature on the plaque and exclaimed: "This... this is the calligraphy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and those who could read saw the two characters written in a flamboyant style at the end of the plaque: "Ming Xiao".
Who in the world doesn't know that the current crown prince's name is Yefeng, and his courtesy name is Mingxiao. This courtesy name was chosen by the current emperor himself.
It is said that the Crown Prince is a man of great talent, both in civil and military affairs, and is proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, especially in his exquisite calligraphy, which is priceless.
Everyone in the capital city knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seldom participates in poetry and painting activities, and rarely displays his calligraphy and paintings to the world, let alone giving his calligraphy works to others.
However, he donated his calligraphy to a small Li Yan Fang.
Young Master Rong's shops are spread all over the Qi Kingdom, but none of them has ever been favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let alone received a plaque from him.
Some sensitive people in Beijing have already smelled something unusual.
Some of the more meticulous ones have already begun to secretly inquire about the origins of this Li Yan Fang.
Then, many people began to know that the owner of Li Yan Fang was not only Mr. Rong, but also a girl named Lu.
Doing business as a woman is shocking in itself, not to mention cooperating with Young Master Rong, the most sought-after imperial merchant in Qi State, and expanding the business to the capital.
Yu Qianxiu, who witnessed the entire process of presenting the plaque in the carriage, was also filled with shock.
She had met the current crown prince Ye Feng several times, and her grandfather, Master Yu, had mentioned him many times. He was a handsome man, of noble status and noble temperament. However, he was ill at that time, and her grandfather was worried every time he mentioned him. Now she heard that he has recovered. When the family mentioned the crown prince now, they implied the idea of marriage.
She still remembered that her grandfather had a deep talk with her not long ago.
"Qian Xiu, although you are not as beautiful as your great-aunt, Lady Yu, you are also dignified and beautiful, and very outstanding. Moreover, you are from the Yu family, and are the legitimate daughter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's maternal family. Your age and family background are suitable for His Royal Highness. When His Royal Highness was ill, grandfather did not dare to think too much. Now that His Royal Highness is healthy again, the Emperor will definitely put His Royal Highness's marriage on the agenda. Qian Xiu, Lady Yu is His Royal Highness's biological mother, and the Emperor will definitely favor the Yu family. Grandfather wants to ask you, do you have the idea of entering the imperial palace in the future? Becoming a noble woman who is second only to one man and above ten thousand people?"
At that moment, although she maintained a calm appearance, her blood was boiling in her heart.
She was carefully brought up by the Yu family since she was a child, and was proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her dignified manners and good manners were praised by the palace nurses, and she was regarded as a role model by the noble ladies in the capital.
She had always known that she would be the head of a noble family in the future, but she had never thought that she could be the mother of a country.
But why not?
There are really few noble ladies in the whole capital who can match His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and have better conditions than her.
Since that conversation, she has been stricter with herself, not allowing her reputation to have even a single flaw. Only in this way can she be worthy of the glorious Crown Prince in the future and deserve the honor of being the mother of a country.
Wei Linger and she had always been good friends, and they often visited each other. This time, Wei Linger dragged her to go shopping, but she didn't want to come. But Wei Linger initially said that she was taking her to see some rare things on the street, but she didn't say she was going to visit the newly opened Li Yan Fang. After getting in the carriage and driving on the street, she realized that Wei Linger was going to take her to buy some skin care products. She was immediately unhappy, stopped the carriage, and didn't want to take another step forward.
I thought Li Yan Fang was just an ordinary shop, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would actually send a plaque with words engraved on it in his own handwriting.
What was so attractive about this Liyanfang? She immediately asked her men to find out.
After a while, the servant who was sent to get the news came back and reported to her: "Miss, I have already found out everything. The Liyanfang is jointly opened by Mr. Rong and a Miss Lu. Mr. Rong is responsible for the daily operation, and Miss Lu is responsible for the production of the products."
"Miss Lu?" Yu Qianxiu didn't know why, but a trace of uneasiness flashed through her heart, and she instinctively became alert.
"Ah? In addition to Master Rong, the owner of Liyanfang also has a girl?" Wei Linger exclaimed, her eyes full of excitement, "Wow! Who on earth is this Miss Lu? She is so amazing! I admire her so much..."
"Ling'er!" Yu Qianxiu interrupted Wei Ling'er, her tone already showing some reproach and dissatisfaction, "Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lower class. Moreover, you are a woman, how can you show your face in public?"
Wei Linger usually treated Yu Qianxiu as her sister. Seeing her angry at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She stuck out her tongue and carefully said, "But, but even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given me a plaque. This is a great honor..."
Yu Qianxiu was stunned when she heard this.
"I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be aware of the details behind this. I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave the plaque for the sake of Master Rong's face. I heard that the military pay needed to quell the rebellion in the capital and to conquer the Chen Wang rebels was all raised by Master Rong."
As Yu Qianxiu spoke, she was thinking about the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did this.
After she finished speaking, even she herself was convinced of this reason.
