Chapter 347 - 347: Crazy Money Earning Speed
After looking at the mooncakes, Chu Qingzhi walked towards the beer workshop.
Everyone was doing the cleaning.
When Wu Yaqing saw Chu Qingzhi coming over, she waved at her. “Qingzhi.”
Chu Qingzhi asked as she walked, “How is it?”
Wu Yaqing patted her chest with a smile and said confidently, “Everything is going smoothly. There is no problem at all.”
Chu Qingzhi patted Wu Yaqing’s shoulder and smiled. “Yaqing, you are a surprisingly good manager.”
Wu Yaqing was smug. “Qingzhi, don’t underestimate me. I’m a very capable girl.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Then it’s a waste of your talent to be a small manager.”
Wu Yaqing said loyally, “It’s not a waste at all? It’s only right for me to help my good sister.”
Chu Qingzhi said, “If you need my help in the future, 1’11 also do my best.”
Wu Yaqing placed her arm on Chu Qingzhi’s shoulder and said boldly, “That’s more like it.”
A villager walked over. “Qingzhi, the cleaning is done.”
Chu Qingzhi walked around the workshop and gathered everyone. “Go back today. Come back at this time tomorrow.”
Everyone replied in unison, “Okay.”
Chu Qingzhi went to lock the door of the workshop and brought Wu Yaqing to the village.
The villagers were all busy collecting corn. On the way back, the two of them saw the villagers carrying the corn home. Although they were sweating profusely, their faces were filled with the joy of harvest. This season was the happiest.
The children in the village were also busy working, so the village was much quieter.
Grandpa Chu and the others were also collecting corn in the fields. Although they had the help of the monkeys, the cornfield was too large. They would not be able to finish in a short time.
After collecting the corn, they had to cut the corn stalks. Then, they had to collect peanuts, soybeans, and rice. After that, they had to plant winter wheat. They were very busy.
Grandpa Chu, Granny Chu, Chu Rong, and Chu Qingyan were the only ones left in the field. The others had endless things to do.
Chu Qingzhi did not want her family to tire themselves out and wanted to hire someone to do the farmwork. However, the Chu family was all hardworking people. They said that they would do it themselves first. If they really could not do it, they would hire some people.
Chu Qingzhi and Wu Yaqing had just reached the door when Lu Tianlan came again.
This time, she brought enough money and immediately gave Chu Qingzhi 200 taels for the consultation fee. “Miss Chu, can you come with me now?”
Who would turn down money? Chu Qingzhi put away the money. “Let’s go.”
Wu Yaqing followed suit. “Qingzhi, I want to go too.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”
They took Lu Tianlan’s carriage and went straight to the Zhang residence.
Lu Tianlan was very anxious. The moment she got out of the carriage, she brought Chu Qingzhi and Wu Yaqing to Zhang Ziyang’s room. “Miss Chu, Young Master is in bed.”
Chu Qingzhi reached out her hand.
Lu Tianlan immediately paid Chu Qingzhi 200 taels of silver for taking the pulse. Her heart ached terribly. She thought to herself, I’ll give it to Chu Qingzhi first. When Young Master Zhang recovers, I’ll get Chu Qingzhi to return it.
Zhang Ziyang was sleeping now. Other than looking a little pale and thin, there was nothing abnormal about him.
Chu Qingzhi asked Lu Tianlan to cover Zhang Ziyang’s wrist with a handkerchief before taking his pulse.
Lu Tianlan secretly scolded Chu Qingzhi for being fussy, but she still did as she was told and said politely, “Miss Chu, please.”
Chu Qingzhi casually placed her fingers on the handkerchief as she took Zhang Ziyang’s pulse. Soon, she retracted her fingers. “I can treat him, but the prescription will cost a thousand taels of silver.”
Lu Tianlan gasped. Is this a robbery?
Lu Tianlan forced a smile. “Miss Chu, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You don’t have to ask for so much money, right?”
Chu Qingzhi said helplessly, “Unfortunately, I’m not a buddhist. If you don’t want the prescription, I’ll leave.”
Lu Tianlan’s expression froze. She secretly scolded Chu Qingzhi for being greedy, but on the surface, she said fawningly, “Miss Chu, 1,000 taels is too much. Can you make it cheaper?”
Chu Qingzhi said indifferently, “I can make it cheaper, but the prescription will also be less effective. Your young master might need three to five years to recover. I won’t force you. Make your choice.”
Lu Tianlan’s heart ached. It was a thousand taels of silver. She gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, I’ll give it to you.”
After a while, she handed the 1,000 taels of silver to Chu Qingzhi with trembling hands.
Chu Qingzhi took the banknotes and walked over to write the prescription. After writing down the prescription, she said, “I can also help you brew the medicine. It’s 2,000 taels once. After drinking the medicine I brewed, your young master will immediately recover.”
Two thousand taels?
Lu Tianlan felt her head buzz. “Miss Chu, thank you. Leave the brewing of the medicine to the servants.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Alright, you can look for me again if you need anything.”
Lu Tianlan thought to herself, I won’t look for you again. She said politely, “Miss Chu, take care.”
Chu Qingzhi left the Zhang residence with Wu Yaqing.
Wu Yaqing was shocked by Chu Qingzhi’s methods of earning money. It was no wonder Qingzhi didn’t want her money. Based on Qingzhi’s speed of earning money, Qingzhi was probably more wealthy than her. “Qingzhi, you’re awesome!”
Chu Qingzhi smiled. “They harmed Ruyan first, so they deserve it.”
When Wu Yaqing heard this, she quickly said, “Qingzhi, ask for more next time.”
Chu Qingzhi felt that the girls around her were quite similar to her. After Ruyue found out, she also asked her to scam more money. Ya Qing was the same. “Then I’ll double it next time.”
Wu Yaqing nodded with a smile. “Yes.”
Imperial Palace, Changle Palace.
Changle Palace was very gorgeous, and the decoration was very similar to a girl’s boudoir.
In the palace, a young woman in palace clothes held a red rose in her left hand and had just torn off a petal with her right hand.
Half of the petals of the rose had been plucked off, scattering all over the ground.
As she plucked off a petal, she muttered, “He likes me!”
Another petal was plucked off. “He doesn’t like me!”
This continued until all the petals were plucked off. “He likes me!”
Beside her stood a red-robed palace maid. She lowered her head slightly and looked nervous, not daring to speak.
The young girl was the occupant of Changle Palace, Princess Changle, the younger sister of the current emperor.
Princess Changle wore a pink palace dress, and she was dignified but did not lose the liveliness and cuteness of a young girl. Her face was beautiful, and her elegance was natural.
However, she was very willful and domineering. As long as she liked something, she would think of ways to get it.
Princess Changle tossed away the remaining flower stem. Her eyes were filled with determination. “I want to leave the palace in plain clothes. Go and prepare for it..”
