Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!
Chapter 52: The First Business Opportunity
Shen Mengyao was pulled up by Shen Feimo, and after a simple wash, the two left the house together. West Street is the most prosperous street in the capital, with many shops.
Shen Feimo was in high spirits along the way. He selected supplements for his father and bought some snacks and books that were rare in the army, saying that they were to entertain his father.
Shen Mengyao exposed him mercilessly.
"How could father like these? I think it's you who likes them!"
Shen Feimo rolled his eyes: "Don't tear down people when they are in trouble!"
After Shen Mengyao smiled, she felt more distressed for her brother. The border was bitterly cold, and there was no sight of spring all year round. There were only biting cold winds, yellow sand all over the sky, and a miserable winter.
She was so generous that she said to the store owner, "Pack up all the dry goods that can be preserved. I want all the dried meat too!"
When the shop owner saw the big customer coming, his eyes almost narrowed with smile.
He immediately asked the waiter to pack up all the things, and then quickly calculated the bill.
Shen Feimo felt a little distressed when he saw his sister being so generous: "That's enough, that's enough. How much is your dowry? Keep it for yourself."
"The wool should be used on the sheep." Shen Mengyao curled her lips: "Besides, I don't feel bad about spending money on my brother and father!"
"You!" Shen Feimo smiled helplessly.
He bought everything he needed to eat and drink, leaving nothing out. When he passed by a clothing store, he was worried about the bitter cold at the border and the inconvenience of wearing them in winter, so he came back and bought a lot of thick robes.
She knew her father was always considerate of his subordinates, so she bought more. In the end, Shen Feimo kept persuading her, "That's enough. I still have to escort the food and fodder, so I really can't take so many things. Besides, there are many of these things at the border, so there's really no need to prepare so much."
"Well, then." Shen Mengyao gave up and said in a deep voice with her eyes lowered: "My father is far away at the border now, and I can't be with him. You have to take good care of him for me."
"Don't worry, I'm here with you, father." Shen Feimo rubbed his head and said with emotion: "After returning from the border this time, I feel that you have grown up a lot."
"That's natural. As I grow older, my mind must have grown. I used to be so willful and made my father and brother worried!" Shen Mengyao sighed.
Shen Feimo looked relieved: "If Daddy saw your changes, he would be happy. He was at the border, and the thing he was most worried about was you who were far away in the capital. Now that I see that you are living a prosperous life and have gotten rid of the bad guys, I am really happy."
The people who care about her the most in this world are her family, and they will support her unconditionally. It's a pity that she only understands this truth now, but fortunately it's not too late.
After walking around for a whole morning, I was tired and was about to go back. I saw many people sitting on the stone platforms on the street, holding bowls in their hands and their clothes were dirty, but it was obvious that they were not beggars.
She asked casually: "What are these..."
Cuiwei saw this and quickly replied, "My princess, you don't know that the rains are heaviest in late spring and early summer. Several counties dozens of miles away from the capital were flooded and the fields were destroyed, so they thought of coming to the capital for refuge. This happened only recently. I only found out about it the last time I went out to buy herbs for that young man."
So that's how it is. She vaguely remembered this incident. At that time, many livestock died due to the flood, and they rotted and stunk in the water, which then caused an epidemic.
The scale was not large, but as refugees poured into the capital, epidemics broke out around the capital. At that time, medicinal materials were in short supply, and medicinal material merchants thought that they were rare and valuable, so they raised the prices several times. They made a lot of money, but the people on the roadside who had no money to treat their illnesses ended up dying of the disease!
She remembered that she was on high alert at the time, yet she still got infected. Fortunately, the palace sent an imperial physician to take good care of her and treat her, otherwise she would probably have passed away by then!
She thought for a moment and made a decision immediately: "Cuiwei, go to the pharmacy and ask around to find some herbal medicine dealers. I want to buy some medicine."
Shen Feimo turned his head in confusion: "What are you buying medicine for?"
"Of course I want to do some tinkering when I have nothing to do, so that I can do some business and earn some money to spend." Shen Mengyao did not give the specific reason.
Shen Feimo curled his lips and said, "Although my father and I's salary is meager, it is enough. If you need anything, just tell us."
"I'm already married, so why should I keep asking my parents for help?" Shen Mengyao took Shen Feimo's arm and explained with a smile: "Brother, I understand your intentions, but I also hope that I can be self-reliant."
Shen Feimo couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He was touched but also worried: "Sister, it's good that you have this intention, but the medicinal materials business is not so easy to do. If you lose money..."
"Brother, don't worry. Nothing is easy. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as we make this start, the road will become smoother and smoother." Shen Mengyao interrupted him, with a firm light in her eyes, "I know my limits and will not act blindly.
"You girl have a lot of tricks up your sleeve now!" Shen Feimo said with a sigh.
Taking advantage of the fact that prices had not skyrocketed, and because Cuiwei liked to chat with people and was well-informed, she soon found a herbal medicine dealer who traveled far and wide and had a large amount of herbs on hand, but it would take some time to deliver the herbs.
Shen Mengyao had experience and naturally knew what medicines were needed to dispel the epidemic. She made a list and several herbal medicine merchants bought all the medicines and agreed to deliver the goods in three days.
She returned to the Princess's Mansion in a good mood, intending to withdraw some money. As soon as she entered the gate, she saw the young man leaning on crutches, walking slowly in the yard, as if he was exercising to recover.
He was seriously injured, including internally. Fortunately, he had good medicine to help him recover to his current state!
She did not make a sound to disturb the boy, but just stood in the corridor and watched him. It was not easy to recover at the beginning. He got up again after falling down. His thin and bright face was full of determination!
With this kind of mentality, one will surely become a great person in time.
As if he felt someone was watching him, the young man raised his head and saw Shen Mengyao, who had not appeared for a long time. A hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
He stood there without saying a word. Cuiwei frowned and said, "Hey, you've already seen my princess, are you still pretending not to see her? After all, it was my princess who saved you, so you should at least come over and pay your respects."
"I didn't ask you to save me." The boy bit his lip, his tone full of coldness and alienation.
Cuiwei was furious: "I saved your life anyway, you should know how to repay your kindness. With your temper, you will suffer sooner or later."
"I'm not a slave." The boy's self-esteem seemed to be hit. He seemed unwilling to face the fact that he had fallen into such a situation and was trapped in a cage and sold, so he acted like this.
Cuiwei was even more angry: "Do you know that my young lady did this for you..."
