ed it open and called out, "Ma Ma Ji, Zhuai Er, come in for a moment." 。Hearing the shout, the two rushed over. She then told Xiang Dong, "Keep watch at the door and call me if anyone comes." 。“Xiangd...At the entrance of Lin'an Prefecture, Lord Shi was waiting. When Ye Wen arrived, he immediately stepped forward to greet him and bow.

Ye Wen still said the same thing: "We are business partners, and we'll be dealing with each other often in the future. If we were to be this polite every time we meet, then this clinic wouldn't last very long." 。When the old master heard her words, he chuckled and no longer insisted on paying respects. However, the people of the government office saw that Ye Wen had arrived and directly performed a grand bow. 。I can't help it, this is what Pool Master instructed. No matter when I meet Sister Ye Si, I must be polite and respectful. If she visits, I have to welcome her with great ceremony. Whatever she says, I must listen to her more than I listen to him. 。The officials' courteous greetings made the family feel incredibly proud. Though they weren't being greeted directly, they were accompanying Ye Wenyan after all! When had outsiders ever been so respected within the government How could they not be proud 。The two of them followed Ye Wenyan and were politely invited in by the officers. Then, they received a personal reception from Lord Pool Hongfang, the magistrate himself, and even saw Lord Pool perform a sincere bow to Ye Wenyan. 。Then, Mrs. Shi turned to Mr. Shi and said, "Well then, was my analysis correct Night Four Sister is no ordinary person." 。"

Master Shi believed it wholeheartedly, nodding firmly and resolutely: "We must definitely follow Fourth Sister well" 。"

When Dui'er heard this, the maidservant reminded the two of them: "Just cooperate according to the rules. My eldest sister is a kind person. As long as you are honest and do good deeds, she will be kind to you too." >>> 。"

The two of them chuckled, then Le Hehe signed his name on the new deed of ownership rewritten by the government officials. " 。From this moment on, Shi's Clinic in the outer city no longer belongs solely to the Shi family, and half of it also belongs to Ye Wenyan. 。But this deed only lists the street address and house number. It specifies ownership of the building and land, but doesn't mention the business itself. 。Next, you'll need to sign another document as a supplementary agreement. This is the one that pertains to running the clinic. 。Yè Wēn yán jìu shuō: "Wǒ běn dǎ suàn zhǐ qiān bǐ àn wén shū, nà fángzi wǒ méi dǎ suàn yào..." 。“Fourth Sister, you mustn't just take and not give. Since this is a collaboration, we must clearly divide everything evenly. Everything should be split fifty-fifty.” 。You must have a house so that we can feel at ease. 。Chi Hongfang was very pleased with the attitude of this couple. He listened attentively to their words, nodding frequently. This made Lao Shi feel proud as well, after all, this could be considered praise from the magistrate. For a merchant from the outer city, this was not an easy feat. 。Especially, Chi Hongfang also took the initiative to tell them: “You guys following Fourth Sister to open a clinic is your great fortune. You must cherish this opportunity well and do things honestly. Run the clinic properly and diligently.” 。Listen to what Fourth Sister says. Do whatever Fourth Sister tells you to do, and don't touch anything she doesn't let you touch, understand Just listen to Fourth Sister, that's all that matters. But Fourth Sister is very busy, so don't bother her all the time unless it's important. 。If you have anything that needs solving on a daily basis, come to this mansion. This mansion will also tell the officials from outside the city to take good care of Shijia Medical Hall. 。"The couple was so touched that they were overwhelmed with emotion. They never dared to dream of such treatment before; it's as if they had been lifted from the ground and into the sky!They expressed their gratitude repeatedly, stating that they would certainly be obedient and would definitely come to bother the magistrate again." 。 池弘方 saw that the couple were still honest and nodded, not forgetting to warn: "If you don't play fair or keep your intentions pure during the cooperation process, this mansion will be the first to deal with you! All of the Shi family's properties in Lin'an will be affected, understand" "Understand, understand" 。The husband and wife immediately responded, assuring, "We will definitely do our best. Please rest assured." 。"He let out a soft hum, feeling a tinge of envy towards the two. After all, being able to do business with Ye Wenyan was a sign of close camaraderie, and he also wanted to be involved." 。But unfortunately, he's an official and can't participate. 。But this backup document... Qi Hongfang looked at the four characters "Shijia Medical Hall" on the document, and couldn't help feeling a little unhappy. 。“Since it’s a collaboration, shouldn't we change the name The clinic is half owned by Sister Four, but the name is still Shijia Clinic. It doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Sister Four at all! Isn't that inappropriate” Ye Wenyan actually didn't need this side of things, she was fine with the name not mentioning her; she had no desire to draw such attention. 。Since Chi Hongfang brought it up, the Shi couple would definitely listen. She couldn't refuse outright either, after all, the clinic still relied on the government's protection, and she couldn't ignore Chi Hongfang in front of the Shi couple. 。So after the Shi family couple enthusiastically came up with over a hundred potential names, she made a decision— "Let's call it 'Shi Xuan Medical Hall'! We each take one character from our surnames, fair and square." 。“ Everyone present was a bit confused, even Zhui’er couldn't understand, “Shi is Shijia, Xuan what is it If each takes one character, shouldn't it be called Shiye Medical Hall Why is it called Shixuan What exactly does this Xuan refer to” Ye Wen said: "It doesn't refer to anything, just like the word. That's it." 。Regardless of anything else, Ye Wenyan had made a decision, so no one asked any further questions. 。Chi Hongfang’s person rewrote the case and both parties signed their seals, this matter was then considered perfectly resolved. 。Ye Wen didn't follow them back to Ye Mansion. The Shi family couple was somewhat disappointed, but they still got into their carriage and left, taking three steps back for every step forward. 。Chi Hongfang stood together at the gate of the government office and watched until the carriage disappeared, then he asked Ye Wenyan: "Fourth sister, have you investigated this matter Are you sure it's reliable"Ye Wenyan thought for a moment and shook her head, "I haven't investigated, and I don't know if it's reliable." 。"This decision was entirely based on my personal preference. I was wondering, Lord Chi, since you've been the magistrate for many years, you must know quite a bit about the merchants in the outer city, right" Chi Hongfang nodded. "Of course, I have some understanding of them." 。“On one hand, he sent Ye Wen back to his government office. The Shi family wasn’t considered among the top few in the outer city, but their family power could still be ranked within the top five.” 。Compared to other merchants, Shijia is still quite conscientious. They haven't done any shady deals and haven't made any outrageous profits from national disasters. 。The Lady (of the time) was known for her generosity. She would always donate and give alms during festivals, holidays, or times of disaster. 。Even though he was a wealthy man, Master Shi was a respectable and upright person. He never frequented places of entertainment or gambling dens. 。"

Chi Hongfang blushed a little, "Actually, half of this information was collected recently. Since the fourth sister took a fancy to that medical clinic, I kept an eye on it and had someone investigate it. It's also a way to explain myself to the fourth sister." 。On the surface, things seem to be working out for him. But we can only see what's on the outside. As for what's going on inside, we need to keep observing. 。Don't worry, Sister Four. I will keep a close eye on things here and make sure you don't get taken advantage of. 。"Night Wenyan nodded, “Whether the business is profitable or not doesn't matter to me, I don't care how much silver I make." 。But since I've taken over this clinic, I have to be responsible for my own reputation, so I really do need Master Chi to keep a close eye on me. 。Chi Hongfang was very pleased that Ye Wen could give him a mission. As he agreed, his hands were already rubbing together, seeming eager to personally guard the outer city. 。Ye Wen could not let him go. Firstly, the Inner City couldn't be left without the magistrate, and secondly, she still had some things to ask Chi Hongfang about. 。“Mister Chi, please sit down” 。She gestured to Chi Hongfang, asking him not to stand before her. "Although I invited Lord Chi to visit the Yanhuagong, it wasn't my intention to intimidate you with it." 。As you are an elder, Wan Ting calls you Uncle Chi. Naturally, I should call you that too. 。Chi Hongfang thought about this, he really didn't dare to, but he also felt that being called "Uncle Chi" by Ye Wenyan was a truly happy thing. 。Thus, he hesitated and couldn't bring himself to shake his head. He ended up calling him "uncle" out of sheer reluctance. 。Yè Wēn yán smiled, and thought it was quite good, at least it would facilitate the development of subsequent topics. 。She asked Chi Hongfang, "Do you still remember what happened when my grandfather and father passed away For example, did the government intervene in the deaths of the two generals Did they investigate the cause of death or conduct an autopsy"Chi Hongfang was startled, "No! The old general was getting up there in years, though not quite sixty yet, but he wasn't far off. He had been fighting wars for many years and had been seriously ill for several years. It must have been a natural death." 。As for the General, the Night Family members are all too preoccupied with missing their father. This has re-opened old wounds, and...naturally, there's no need to investigate this matter further. 。He stared intently at Ye Wenyan's expression, and the more he looked, the worse Ye Wenyan's expression seemed to him. Eventually, Chi Hongfang started to feel scared. 。"Fourth Sister, is something wrong here" Ye Wenyan let out a soft sigh, "Whether there's something or not doesn't matter anymore. The government missed the best time to file a case." 。"Best time to file a case" Chi Hongfang asked cautiously. "Fourth Sister means we should launch an investigation immediately after the General's death Could there be more to the deaths of the old General and the General" Ye Wenyan shook her head, "There must be secrets involved, but my best time to file isn't after my father's death, it's after my grandfather's." 。If someone had reported it back then, perhaps my father would still be alive. 。Now it's too late for everything, and it's all my fault. I didn't notice even a tiny bit of difference at the beginning, which wasted all those years my grandfather spent cultivating me. 。She paused for a moment, then said to Chi Hongfang, "There's one more thing, perhaps Mr. Chi could help me with." 。"

Chi Hongfang immediately said: “Fourth Sister, please speak” 。"I want to look into things about thirty-five or six years ago, right before my grandmother married into the Ye family. I'm talking about the Jiang family of Xiushan County." 。This includes the Jiang family saving my great-grandfather, and later the two families arranged a marriage, sending my grandmother to Lin'an for several years. 。Please try to find as much detail as possible, including the general situation of Xiushan County during those years, who the Chiang family often interacted with, including what people my grandmother frequently associated with before she got married. Basically, I want to know everything that can be found. 。"otherwise, if Old Madam Ye got angry and wanted to argue with her, that wouldn't be a pleasant sight either. 。Everyone dashed away, and the seats were finally empty. 。Ye Wen pulled up a chair and gest...
