Chapter 241 Sincerity
Yun Huazi walked into the hall without even glancing at Zhou Chang. He went to sit behind a table in the east and told the four Taoist boys who followed him with medicine bowls: "Give these bowls of medicine to the patients first."
"Yes..." The four Taoist boys agreed in unison and distributed the prepared medicine to the patients sitting against the wall on the west side of the hall.
Seeing this, Yun Hezi went over first and whispered a few words in front of Yun Huazi.
Yun Huazi lowered his eyes and listened. After a while, he spoke again, "If they don't sell it, no matter how much silver they buy it for, they can earn ten or a hundred times back from the people. Junior brother, don't you understand this principle?"
Yuan Qi naturally recognized that the person who really had the final say had appeared, and was about to step forward.
Zhou Chang grabbed Yuan Qi's sleeve.
Yuan Qi ignored him and said, "Why don't you consider my daughter's suggestion, the Yuan family is not offering this money for business purposes, and will donate it for free. Therefore, any amount of money is fine, the Yuan family is only trying to save lives."
Yuan Huazi lowered his eyelids and slowly raised them, glancing at Yuan Qi, then glanced at Zhou Chang, and suddenly smiled: "One of you doesn't want to give even a tael of silver and just extorts, while the other doesn't care how much silver you give and just spends it. But the one who doesn't want to give even a tael of silver probably doesn't take money seriously, and the one who doesn't care how much silver you give probably doesn't know how it feels to be penniless."
"Who said I don't take money seriously?" Zhou Chang complained in his heart. She took money too seriously and was very short of it.
Yuan Qi wanted to refute, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a rebuttal.
"Master, what have you thought about my proposal?" Zhou Chang took two steps forward, his eyes falling on Yun Huazi's Tai Chi Liuhe Crown.
Yun Huazi raised his eyes and a cold light shot out, finally landing on the octagonal hat that the skinny monkey was still holding in his hand.
Zhou Chang knew that there was a misunderstanding. She was thinking about Yun Huazi's hat again, but this time she didn't think about his bald head.
However, I have to say that these old hats are both exquisite and beautiful, no wonder the customer placed an order. But don't count on this order at all.
"Master, I really didn't mean it just now. I can swear, if I had just..." Zhou Chang pointed to the sky and swore, secretly determined that he would not take this order no matter what.
Yun Huazi raised his hand to stop him: "I don't believe a single word of your oath."
Zhou Chang was anxious and didn't know if it was because the front hall was also overheated, but he had no idea what to do. He was inevitably frustrated and could only remain in a stalemate.
Turning around, she saw countless pairs of eyes looking at her inside and outside the hall, and she couldn't help but think of the people in West City.
He gritted his teeth, lowered his posture, and bowed deeply: "I am the junior who was rude in the medicine house, but I have no ill intentions. What conditions do you want me to give you? Even if you want me to go through fire and water, I will do it."
"If you can make the world peaceful and prosperous..." Yuan Huazi waved his hand, signaling the people in the queue to come for his pulse diagnosis.
Zhou Chang interrupted him before he could finish, "Master, what you said is unrealistic. We know it's impossible now, so why don't we focus on the present? I am so sincere, why can't I move you? What will make you agree? Just tell me the specific conditions?"
Zhou Chang stood in front, and no one nearby dared to step forward.
"Alas..." Yun Huazi sighed helplessly and had to look up at Zhou Chang again.
Zhou Chang's pair of phoenix eyes were filled with worry, his face was pale, his lips were colorless, and his breathing was weak.
"I notice that you don't look well and seem to be ill. You'd better go back and find a doctor instead of delaying here." Doctor Yuan Huazi is like a loving parent and treats everyone equally.
Zhou Chang had been feeling weak since morning, and had been holding on with his willpower. Now he didn't care anymore, and said with a wry smile: "Master Yun Huazi is a skilled doctor, but he is standing here, and he is unwilling to diagnose and treat someone like me, right? I am unworthy, but are the people in the blockaded epidemic area in West City also unworthy?"
Yuan Huazi's idea moved. He also wanted to save more people.
In fact, this prescription was the one he came up with after he personally went deep into Jindu City a month ago, diagnosed the pulses of many refugees and beggars, and repeatedly considered the matter.
Although he cured some people, one person's ability is really too limited. He originally planned to raise funds from various sources in the next few days, and it would be best if the decoction was made into pills and then distributed to the poor who needed it but could not afford the medicine in Jindu City.
"Yes." Yuan Qi also said from behind, "Everything can be discussed. The worst thing is that they don't want to discuss it at all. As long as there is a number of silver, everything can be discussed."
"Miss, why doesn't His Royal Highness Prince Yi force us to join the army?" A very small voice said behind Yuan Qi.
Zhou Chang turned his head and recognized that it was Yuan Qi's maid. Although the voice was low and the people watching the excitement around might not be able to hear it, he and Yun Huazi, Yun Hezi and others around him could still hear it clearly.
After this reminder, Yuan Qi looked at Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang had not paid attention to Yuan Qi's maids since he came in, but based on He Xi's original memory, he knew that the two major maids around Yuan Qi were named Lu Ju and Lu Ping.
Judging from her personality, the person who spoke just now should be Lu Ju, who grew up with Yuan Qi and is smart and knowledgeable.
Lu Ju was half a head shorter than Yuan Qi and was wearing a green dress. After she finished speaking, she felt Zhou Chang's gaze and realized that she had said too much, so she quickly shrank behind Yuan Qi.
Zhou Chang shook his head and explained to Yuan Qi: "Of course we can't force it. How can we hurt people in the name of saving people? Even if the Taoist priest doesn't give me the medicine, I will definitely get it in a few days. It's just a matter of time. I am also pleading for the people. Since I am pleading for the people, I can't exchange my life for theirs."
The so-called forced collection was nothing more than Zhou Chang using the power of the court, exerting pressure, and even coercion and inducement as a condition of exchange to seize the prescription.
In her mind, this prescription can be asked for, but not robbed. If she really resorted to force, she might be able to achieve her goal, but she would lose the original intention of doing everything.
Yun Hezi nodded with satisfaction and looked at his senior brother.
Yun Huazi lowered his eyes and drew the curtain, not knowing what he was thinking.
"In this case, the Yuan family is willing to spend more money to buy the prescription for His Royal Highness Prince Yi, but this Taoist priest..." Yuan Qi couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Ah..." Zhou Chang sighed subconsciously.
"Forget it. You just said you were pleading for the people? You should at least show some sincerity." Yuan Huazi suddenly looked up.
Zhou Chang turned around in surprise: "Master, have you agreed? I am willing to swear an oath, but Master, I don't believe it... Either, or..."
She looked around and stared at the statue on the altar in the hall: "How about I swear to that statue?"
Yun Huazi shook his head: "The Medicine King statue cannot be used by those who do not believe in it, so how can it be constrained?"
Yun Hezi kept hinting at his senior brother with his eyes, but Yun Huazi pretended not to see anything.
Yun Huazi's eyes fell on the octagonal hat in Shouhou's hand again: "Let's not talk about anything else. Are we just going to let it go just like that?"
