Chapter 2: The Hidden Wealthy Merchant

His acting skills were taught by Qin Feng, and both he and his master share the same lineage in their performances. He may not be as good as the young master, but he has learned about seventy to eighty percent of it.

If there are urgent symptoms, one must invite a doctor to make a house call, which is simply extremely inefficient. With the time taken for this back and forth, if it were a serious illness, one would have long since met with the King of Hell

Qin Feng was unaware of the rich psychological activities of Feng Bao. Upon entering, there was a tall threshold. He lifted his robe, just about to raise his foot, when a hand rested on his shoulder: "May I ask if you are the doctor from the clinic? I have a patient in urgent need of help, I implore you to save them"

As Qin Feng pondered, Feng Bao opened the door to the medical clinic and said excitedly, "Young Master, we have entered."

He fundamentally possesses a modern mindset. In this era that prioritizes officialdom over commerce, he adheres to the principle that money is paramount. The profits earned from running the medical clinic are not kept in banks, but rather invested in numerous restaurants and shops, including the largest brothel in Suicheng, which also belongs to him

Qin Feng was unaware that this young servant had already considered whether he could serve the princess in the long term based on his physique. After stepping out, Feng Bao brought the carriage. Once he got into the carriage, he let out a sigh of relief. After leaving the Grand Tutor's residence, he no longer had to pretend; it was a relief.

The eldest son is mhetushucom.com, who has diligently studied and worked hard for his literary examinations. Relying on having a father who is a tutor to the crown prince, he has managed to attain the current rank of fourth grade. In terms of ability, he may not necessarily be a match for the young master. Unfortunately, Feng Bao cast a glance at our master, lamenting that he is a son of a concubine.

Feng Bao understood immediately, his face turned pale. Qin Feng glared at him, and he quickly returned to his original state, showing some improvement.

Before he has thought of a foolproof plan, he cannot drop his disguise

On such a quiet evening, the street is desolate. If a person were in a hurry, their steps would surely be quick. The sounds at night are distinct, yet he makes not a single sound, as if a ghost has suddenly appeared

The door creaked open, and Qin Feng's little follower, Feng Bao, entered, carrying tea and snacks. Seeing Qin Feng's lazy demeanor, he smiled and said, "Young Master, congratulations on becoming a candidate for the imperial son-in-law. I just saw that the eldest young master's face turned green."

"Who told you I was talking about the Emperor?" Qin Feng picked up the tea and took a sip. Feng Bao grew up alongside the original owner. When the original owner was at their lowest point, Feng Bao was beaten to the brink of death while trying to gather some medicinal herbs to help the original owner. He is a loyal servant

Speaking of which, the young master and the library are indeed geniuses; in just three years, they have mastered the art of medicine and have successfully established a thriving medical clinic

In the Eastern Yue Kingdom, Qin Feng held no official position and was always regarded as inferior within the residence. However, this also created a subtle balance with his elder brother, Qin Yun, as the two brothers did not compete with each other. On the surface, he only operated a small medical clinic, which was rather unremarkable.

To hell with official positions, aren't banknotes, gold and silver ingots, and gold leaves more appealing?

In the stillness of the deep night, Qin Feng found it impossible to sleep. He took out his brush and ink, and wrote two powerful characters on the white paper—Official, Business

Is it really necessary to rely on becoming a prince consort? The last candidate is merely there to serve as a foil for the nine preceding ones. Moreover, who is the one that recommended him in front of the Emperor? This person likely has ulterior motives

When Qin Feng first arrived in this world, he was most pleased with his handsome face that looked exactly like his own, and least satisfied with his frail body. Fortunately, he was a general practitioner, and after familiarizing himself with the local medicinal herbs, he began to treat himself.

It is evident that this person is a practitioner and also a master of internal martial arts

I fear that someone has discovered my secrets..." Qin Feng tightened his grip on the cup, but who could this person be?

He can no longer distinguish between left and right; in any case, this time's combination of images and text feels very ominous, very ominous indeed

"Thinking of an important medicine that hasn't been prepared, which concerns life, I need to make a trip to the medical clinic." Qin Feng spoke casually, as such matters had often occurred in the past. The young servant immediately opened the door, and as soon as it was opened, a gust of cold wind rushed in, prompting Qin Feng to pretend to cough several times.

The medical clinic is actually less than three miles from the Grand Tutor's residence. In the stillness of the night, the bluestone paths of Sui City are illuminated by the cold moonlight. The doors of the clinic are tightly shut; unlike modern hospitals, there is no concept of night shifts here, and it closes at night.

How can one turn the tide against the pressure from the government on businesses

The night servant was originally dozing off, but was startled awake by the two of them. After yawning and greeting them, he asked, "Young Master, why are you going out so late?"

In recent years, the young master has been involved in various activities outside; he is one of the informed parties and has reaped considerable benefits from it. He secretly acquired a residence some time ago and, in a few years, will also be able to marry a beautiful wife. Like the young master, he is merely playing a role, pretending in the mansion.

The thought that someone might strip off his vest made it impossible for him to sleep. By the latter half of the night, he got up abruptly and woke up Feng Bao. The two of them dressed as usual and then set out.

When no one else is present, Feng Bao calls him "Young Master" instead of "Second Young Master". In his eyes, his own Young Master is far superior to the Eldest Young Master. If he had received careful treatment when he was young, would he have become a frail person?

He has neither established a family nor received any titles, so what right does he have to move? Unless it is due to the passing of the Grand Tutor Qin, leading to the division of the family, but even in that case, there would still be clan elders coming out to obstruct it

When he is feeling restless, he prefers to sit in the medical clinic. The clinic actually has its own charm, much more comfortable than his bedroom in the Grand Tutor's residence. Even Feng Bao often murmurs about whether they could stay in the clinic permanently, as it is not comfortable in the residence, wondering when he will be able to live independently.

Upon hearing this, Feng Bao was so frightened that his knees went weak, and he fell to his knees, saying: "Young Master, that, that is an imperial edict; one cannot speak of it directly."

No matter how large his private business grows, can it surpass the difficulties posed by the authorities? Just a few trivial issues can lead to the closure of his business. Indeed, the higher the official rank, the more oppressive it becomes. This principle remains unchanged across different dynasties.

Can this physique satisfy the princess

This dynasty did not have a concept of fire prevention, but it did have a Supervisory Office—specifically for the oversight of merchants

He Qin Feng is also the invisible wealthy businessman of Sui City

Unfortunately, it is not possible. In this cursed place, the local officials and the * books * are greater than commerce, and legitimate children are greater than illegitimate ones. Moving out of the residence requires the consent of both the father and the legitimate mother

The Supervisory Office is somewhat akin to a modern institution that combines the functions of fire safety, industry and commerce, and consumer protection. Qin Yun has a longstanding relationship with the official Ding, the head of the Supervisory Office. If he were to learn that there are so many businesses under Qin Yun's name, wouldn't he try to bring him down with all his might?

The young servant thought to himself that the second young master still had a weak constitution, as even a slight breeze could trigger an episode

He is now in excellent health. Initially, he employed a bit of strategy to persuade his father to allow him to study medicine. Subsequently, he opened a medical clinic and, within three years, gained a reputation as a renowned physician in Sui City, but it had no connection to an official career.

Upon the arrival of this imperial decree, Qin Feng's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. What did the old saying used to say? Left eye twitches for fortune, right eye twitches for disaster

"So what do you mean?" Feng Bao looked at the young master, who appeared to be in good spirits, feeling particularly at ease.

Qin Feng cast a glance at Feng Baoxing's exuberant expression and grunted, "Congratulations? Congratulations for what? I still prefer to pursue a low-profile path to wealth. Now, it seems someone wants to single me out. Tell me, what does that person aim to gain?"

However, Qin Feng pursed his lips, wondering how Qin Yun would react if the true assets under his name were to be exposed

This person appears to be in a hurry, yet Qin Feng silently scoffs, believing that there must be something amiss behind the scenes
