Wei Ruo said again, “What Young Master Zhu seeks is inner fulfillment, while what ordinary people seek is simply the two words: to live. People experience emptiness in their inner world mostly because they are not that lacking in material things, and their bodies are not suffering from major illnesses, pains, or disasters. This is probably the reason why Young Master Zhu would have such reflections after experiencing life and death—because this was a situation you had never faced before.”
Zhu Zongyu gazed at Wei Ruo, a little surprised yet also a little delighted. Her words seemed to sweep away the fog in his heart.
“I didn’t expect Young Master Xu, so young, to have such insight.” Zhu Zongyu looked at Wei Ruo, his eyes carrying a smile.
“It has nothing to do with age, but with experience. If you had always been able to feel the hardship of just staying alive, perhaps your thoughts would be different. Of course, living in comfort is always a good thing, a fortune that many can only dream of. And for you to gain some insight after this experience with life and death, that is an unexpected reward.” Wei Ruo said to Zhu Zongyu.
Looking at the person in front of him, Zhu Zongyu felt a very special emotion in his heart.
Although younger than himself, everything he did and thought inspired a feeling of admiration in him.
He had never felt this way toward anyone before—Xu Heyou was the first.
At that moment, the person who had gone to Zui Xian Ju to deliver the message returned, bringing Shopkeeper Shen with him.
When Shopkeeper Shen saw Wei Ruo, he froze for a moment, because the Wei Ruo he had met previously had a full beard, but today he was clean-shaven.
But it was only for an instant. Very quickly, Shopkeeper Shen understood: this young master must have thought that he would not appear imposing when conducting business at such a young age, so he had deliberately stuck on a fake beard as a disguise.
He had felt before that it was odd for such a young man to have so much facial hair. Now it made sense.
Coming back to his senses, Shopkeeper Shen presented the 800-tael silver note that Fan Chengxu had asked him to deliver. “Young Master Xu, this is what my young master asked me to hand over to you.”
Wei Ruo took the silver note and, upon seeing the number, was visibly surprised.
Eight hundred taels of silver? That’s way too much!
Wei Ruo turned his head toward Zhu Zongyu. His face was wrapped in bandages, and apart from his eyes, no other expression could be seen, and those eyes at the moment revealed nothing.
“Young Master Zhu and Master Fan are very close?” Wei Ruo asked.
Otherwise, how could just a single letter bring back as much as eight hundred taels of silver?
“Not very close. Boss Fan did this because he trusts my credibility,” Zhu Zongyu explained.
Wei Ruo was half-skeptical and continued to ask Shopkeeper Shen, “Did your young master say anything else?”
Shopkeeper Shen said, “My young master said that if Young Master Xu wants any medicinal herbs, just write a list for me. He will order people to purchase them.”
Wei Ruo had no way or channel to acquire those rare and precious medicinal herbs, but Fan Chengxu probably did.
“Alright, I’ll write it for you now.”
Wei Ruo called Steward Yu over to bring paper and brush, then had Steward Yu hold the brush while Wei Ruo dictated and he wrote.
Wei Ruo’s handwriting was too recognizable, so when dealing with outsiders as Xu Heyou, he would not personally write.
After finishing, Wei Ruo checked the list once, then handed it to Shopkeeper Shen.
