Chapter 161(1/2)

After officially signing a contract with the medicine shop, Xia Wen told his family.||

Sister Xia Yu asked, "Brother, how much is the monthly salary?"

Xia Wendao, "Four taels of silver per month."

Xia Yu said happily, "This is much more than my elder brother's daily harvest of herbs."

Xia Wen smiled, and Xia Yu pestered his brother and asked questions again. Mrs. Xia said, "Your elder brother goes out to take the clinic every day, and is very tired. Don't pester him and ask him to take a break."

Xia Yu raised her mouth and said, "What are you tired? After lunch, I have an hour to rest, and I have new clothes in all seasons. Mom, I will also study medicine with my elder brother in the future. When I learn, I open a big medicine shop like Dr. Zhao."

Mrs. Xia laughed, "You can embroider the flowers first."

Ji Wu asked, "Brother, is Dr. Zhao easy to get along with?"

Xia Wendao, "Doctor Zhao is a very good person. Some people who treat patients really have no money, so they can allow them to make medicine. If they wear ordinary clothes, they will prescribe cheap medicines to avoid people not being able to afford it."

This Doctor Zhao is very good at kung fu, and Ji Wu is still a little worried. He heard from his elder brother that he felt relieved.

The welfare of Zhao Changqing's pharmacy shop is indeed excellent. Not to mention anything else, other shops will not give apprentices wages. She gives Zhao Liangdong 500 yuan a month. Zhao Liangdong is also smart. After Xia Wen signed the contract seriously, he asked Zhao Changqing to give up the best room and cleaned it up to prepare for lunch for Xia Wen.

Seeing that Xia Wen was like this, he would have to give him more advice.

In the morning, Zhao Changqing didn't come to the pharmacy shop. Bai Woman came and there was a little maid carrying a food box behind her. Xia Wen knew that Bai Woman was the official in charge of the Zhao family, so he quickly got up to greet her and smiled, "Why is the nanny here if she has time?"

The white woman smiled, "Hello Dr. Xia. The girl got up early and made some snacks and told me to send them to everyone to try. Today, the girl couldn't come if she had something to do, so she had to take care of her."

Xia Wen laughed, "My duty is my duty, I'll take this trip." Yesterday, Zhao Changqing had already said that he couldn't come today, and Xia Wen knew it.

The white woman smiled, "I am willing to walk around more with my arms and legs."

Xia Wen asked with a smile, "Is the plaster used last time, and the nanny was fine? I calculated that I should use it almost."

Bai Woman smiled, "This time I came here, I just wanted to ask Dr. Xia to show me again. My legs are much better, but I still feel a little sore when the weather changes."

Xia Wen invited the white woman to the inner compartment and ordered someone to invite Ling Erjie over. The white woman laughed, "What are you afraid of at my age?"

Sister Ling came from the yard and laughed, "I'm busy inside. I heard that the nanny is here and I'm going to meet you too."

The white woman quickly got up to greet her. Ling Erjie asked her to sit down and said, "The plaster I just made before, the best black dog skin patch. Hurry up and ask Dr. Xia to treat you. Let the roots be removed while the weather is warm."

After saying a few words, the white woman rolled up her trouser legs. Xia Wen looked at her knees, took her pulse again, re-exerted a prescription, and prescribed another plaster. Zhao Liangdong grabbed the medicine. The white woman thanked Dr. Xia and said goodbye to Ling Erjie, and left with the little maid.

Zhao Liangdong said, "I wonder what snack Sister Qing made today?"

Ling Erjie laughed, "I took some Fuling house yesterday, and I think it was a Fuling cake I made."

Because the door was just opened in the morning and no patients came to the door, Zhao Liangdong wiped the counter and wiped the tables and chairs, and said, "The dim sum made by Sister Qing is really amazing, and it tastes better than Nanxiangyuan. Second sister, I heard that Sister Qing had opened a dim sum shop before, is it true?"

Sister Ling said, "Yes, it's true."

"I wonder if she made good dim sum." Zhao Liangdong said unrestrainedly, "Sister Qing is just not lucky. If anyone marry her, she would really burn high incense in her previous life."

Ling Erjie hit his head with a slight finger and spat, "I will tell Changqing tomorrow, I will throw you to the ground."

Zhao Liangdong laughed and begged for mercy. He was young and liked to hear something new. He said to Ling Erjie, "It was said that Sister Qing was so powerful from the last time that she nailed the two stone lions at the door to the ground, which made half of the city stunned. Now people talk about our street, it is no longer called Beauty Street, but Lion Street."

Ling Erjie said, "It's all idle."

Zhao Changqing and Mrs. Zhao went to Zhu's family to pay tribute today. When Mrs. Zhu is old, she likes to be lively. Mrs. Zhao goes there every month, and even the Zhao sisters of the Ling family go with her.

Old Mrs. Zhu smiled, "I've been thinking about it these two days, it's time for you to come."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "I originally wanted to come here to pay my respects to my mother two days ago. The weather was not good, and it rained. I thought, come over when the weather is better. Will my mother be close for a few days?"

Old Mrs. Zhu laughed, "Okay. Your elder brother came to deliver a letter a few days ago. He was old and simply retired. He thought that someone would take me and your father to the imperial capital. I said, I have lived in the border town for a lifetime, so what should I do in the imperial capital? To be honest, the imperial capital is good, but it is not my hometown. He wants to come back to live for a few days."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "That's good. Since my elder brother went out to be an official, I haven't seen him for decades."

Old Mrs. Zhu was very happy, "He also missed home. In the letter, he said that he wanted to eat the mutton pot from our border town the most. When he came back, our family would get together."

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "We don't have many other people in our family, and there are the most people. I don't know how lively it is when we get together like this."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "At that time, our ancestors and ancestors will make two bright clothes. Let's take a look. People have to say, "Oh, which sisters are these, they look so familiar."

Everyone in the room laughed, and Old Mrs. Zhu laughed, "The older you are, the more you are, you are getting more and more verbal. Let's joke with us two old guys."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's not a joke. Year by year, I have been paying my respects to my ancestors every month since I was a child, and I feel that my ancestors have not changed much. After my grandmother's legs have improved, she now learns the Five Animal Show. She practices every morning, and her body is better than before. A few days ago, Sister Ling's second son was born. When I was in the third day of washing, I followed my mother to have fun. Cousin Aqing went to the city and will definitely be the first to be the first next year. Now, my uncle is back. Every time I think of our family, life is going smoothly. Although I dare not compare with the rich and noble one, it is also particularly interesting."

After saying this, even Yuan said, "Young girl said it very well."

Old Mrs. Zhu nodded and smiled, "Yes. I heard you opened a medicine shop outside, but is it okay?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I studied medicine with Mr. Su when I was a child. I have been studying medicine for seven or eight years. I have also kept a few medical books in my stomach, but I have never been to the clinic at first. Later, I saved some private houses and thought that the money was in vain at home. I usually had no place to use the money, so I set up a small shop and opened a pharmacy. It is a good thing to practice medicine to save people. I don't expect this to make money, but I can do whatever I can do."

How easy is it to do business outside? Although Mrs. Zhu is old, she is not confused. She patted Zhao Changqing's hand and sighed, "This capable person can do anything well."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Our ancestors love me, and I just feel better."

Yuan smiled, "It's not just my ancestors, but also us. Who wouldn't say you well? You have been a clever person since childhood and can do it even when you grow up. Your mother is blessed to raise a capable daughter like you, which is worth the three sons of other people's family."

Ling smiled, "Look at what my sister-in-law said, my sister-in-law doesn't know what I'm worried about."

"I am also a mother-in-law, how could I not know?" Yuan laughed, "I was not lucky at first, but now things have faded. Qing Yat is not old. With such a look and such skills, what kind of good marriage can't be found? Qing Yat is so sensible and worry-free, it's a blessing for my sister to have such a daughter!" Yuan was so angry that Zhu Xi was so angry that he was such a fool. Just let Xu Huan go to the Lin Family Shop to seek death. The man's surname is Xu, but Zhu Xi didn't know what kind of virtuousness he had, so he went to the Lin Family Shop to take Boss Lin as a concubine for Xu Huan! That Boss Lin, a female, could be a businessman in the border town, so it would be easy to mess with! Master Xu's medicine

The businessmen were greatly affected. Mr. Xu's medicine shop was not only owned by the Xu family, but also had stocks in several companies! Because of this, the amount of military medicinal materials was cut by half, and each family could naturally have less money! This incident was caused by Zhu Xi. If Zhu Xi had not had children in his stomach now, I wonder what would have happened! If such a thing happened, the Xu family was full of anger, so he would naturally have to tell Zhu Mingtang. Zhu Mingtang complained to Yuan for a long time, and the second and third rooms had their own resentment. It was nothing else. Zhu Xi's stupid name was spread, and the marriage between the sisters in the future could not be affected. Yuan had been in a few days because of this. What's the use of being beautiful? It doesn't grow a brain!

After all, Zhao Changqing was by her side, so it was hard to talk about her marriage. Yuan said to Ling, "My sister is not a few years younger than me. I see that my sister's complexion is getting better and bright, and her face is shining."

Ling smiled, "I am old, and my sister-in-law is so embarrassed that I am praising me now. Now I am lazy and don't like to use those fragrant powders. Sometimes I look pale when I see people when I go out and I always feel funny. However, Changqing is idle with a dish of fairy-sported syrup pills. She has eaten it for a few days. I see her skin getting more delicate, and I wonder if this girl has made some rouge cream. Later, she asked me to eat it. There are pearls, snow lotus, and some other medicinal materials. I can't remember it. It's a thing for health care. Women eat it best, and the old lady and I are eating it. In the past two years, I have also become a little trouble. I often sleep well at night. After eating it, I sleep well and naturally have a good complexion."

Yuan was more knowledgeable than Ling and said, "Pearl powder and snow lotus are good medicines to calm the mind and replenish qi. This pill is quite interesting. How did you make it?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's a coincidence. A few years ago, when I was practicing martial arts with Mr. Ouyang, he ran a pawn shop. There was nothing in the pawn shop that I didn't collect. Once I went back to the pawn shop to read the old books I collected. I found a hand-copied medical book in a box of old books, and there was this prescription. The book said that it was commonly used by concubines in the palace in the previous dynasty. I and my husband carefully studied this prescription. It was indeed good for women to take it. However, this prescription was complicated and had to be prepared with more than a dozen medicines. It was inconvenient in the past. Now that I have a medicine shop, it is cheap to prepare this medicine. I put it on one piece of ingredients, and I felt it was light after taking it myself. My mother is a meticulous person and has many things at home. She

I worry about it every day. I don’t sleep better than before. I can’t sleep this night, but it’s not a disease. If I take soup and add sleeping medicine, it’s really easy to sleep well, but it’s hard to get rid of the roots. Always drinking soup is not a common method. This pill is a thing for health care, and it’s not relevant to eating it normally. I asked my mother to take it for a while, and she thought the medicinal materials were expensive. I advised my mother that she was the medicine for taking medicine and she was the one who prepared it herself, so she was not so expensive. Furthermore, if I could take it well, my mother’s insomnia was worth it. I didn’t realize it when I took it myself, but after taking it, my complexion improved a lot and she slept peacefully at night.”

Yuan smiled, "This is good. If you have such good medical skills, the whole family will benefit from it."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "I dare not say that I have serious illnesses, but I can still see minor illnesses with headaches and fevers." At her age, she didn't come to her when she had serious illnesses. Originally, Zhao Changqing wanted to recommend Shenxian Yangrong Pills to the Zhu family. Seeing that Yuan didn't believe it, he didn't mention it.

It is worthless to pay something, no matter how good or bad, and you must cry and shout to show its value.

The Zhao family had lunch at the Zhu family before returning home. Zhao Changqing changed her clothes and was about to go to the medicine shop. Ling called her and sent the maid and mother-in-law to ask, "I think your uncle Yuan doesn't believe it."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I just try it today. In business, I can't count on the words of each household to go out and talk to others. Don't worry, mother, it's time for a long time."

Ling stroked her clothes and smiled, "Just be stable, go. Don't come back too late tonight."

Zhao Changqing left.

When Zhao Changqing left, the white lady brought tea. As he was just talking about medicine, Ling asked when he saw the white lady, "How is the nanny's legs?"

The white woman smiled, "Mrs. Xie was worried. After using the plaster from last time, it didn't hurt anymore, but it was a little sore occasionally. Today I sent snacks to the shop and asked Dr. Xia to treat me again. It was nothing serious. Doctor Xia's medical skills are also very good, and I don't think worse than Mr. Su."

Ling smiled, "Changqing has always been a steady person. If Doctor Xia is not good, she cannot ask Doctor Xia to take the medical treatment. Our family knows it. Some people just think that she is young and refuse to believe her." Over the years, Ling has gained knowledge and opened her eyes. She does not flatter her like she used to flatter Yuan. Zhao Yong is a serious sixth-rank 100 household, and Zhu Mingtang just donated a fifth-rank tutor. Today, her daughter put up the ladder, and Yuan refused to support her, and Ling was also a little annoyed.

The white woman smiled, "If you want me to tell me, this is inevitable. People in this world only look at the elders who are older and older, only know how good they are. They don't know what they really are. Just say that our elder girl's medicine shop, the neighbors at first saw that our elder girl was young and refused to believe it. Mrs. Shu, the little sixth house, was the most slander, and she said a lot of sarcastic words at first. Later, she coughed and spent more than a dozen taels of silver at the pharmacy outside but didn't take any good. Our elder girl prescribed three medicines and showed goodness. In our elder girl's medicine shop, she had no money to spend two taels of silver to get rid of the disease. Now she tells everyone that our elder girl has good medical skills."

Ling was quite complacent and raised his eyebrows and said, "Mrs. Shu's mouth is the most annoying. You don't know that whenever she goes to the medicine shop, she still relies on her relatives to bargain with Changqing. She goes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and noodles and bargain. The first time I heard that there are people in the medicine shop who want to bargain. Changqing is more singular. She does this business, so she doesn't want to make money, and she can tolerate someone like Shu's disguised person."

"Yes." Madam Bai flattered Ling a few words very much, and Ling became happy as she said it.

Zhao Changqing went to the medicine shop, and Xia Wen was taking the pulse for someone. When he saw Zhao Changqing, he smiled and said, "Didn't he say he can't come?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'm back early, come and have a walk."

Before Xia Wen could say anything, the middle-aged man sitting beside him came up and bowed to Zhao Changqing, saying politely, "Hello, Doctor Zhao, the little Duan Laohu has been waiting for you for a long time."

Xia Wen sighed, "This Mr. Duan came early in the morning. I said you were not here. He didn't believe it and insisted on waiting."

Duan Laohu is eight feet tall, with big arms and round waist. He stands casually like an iron tower, and he doesn't look like a sick person. Zhao Changqing asked, "Where is Mr. Duan feeling uncomfortable?"

Duan Laohu hurriedly said, "It's not that I'm so uncomfortable, I want to invite Dr. Zhao out of the clinic."

A patient laughed at the back and said, "Duan Laohu, you should tell Doctor Zhao seriously and don't cheat Doctor Zhao."

Duan Laohu said, "How could I cheat Dr. Zhao? Who doesn't know that Dr. Zhao's wonderful skills are rejuvenated, kind-hearted and wise, dry bones and flesh are superb!" He also flattered Zhao Changqing, but he just didn't say where to go to the clinic. Zhao Changqing looked at him, got up and said, "Go inside and talk."

Zhao Laohu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed Zhao Changqing.

There was a single compartment inside, which was originally a place for some medical treatments to go to for clothing. Duan Laohu saw that there was no one else in the room, so he explained his purpose and said, "Our Wanhua Building is also a serious business, and it is not robbed. Doctor Zhao, you are a kind person. The girls in our place, ordinary people think of them. In fact, to be honest, everyone is a miserable person. It's just that people are snobbish and hate the reputation in our building, and they are often unwilling to go. Besides, I'm not hiding it from Doctor Zhao, some girls

They were not happy to talk to men when their family was not feeling well. Some people in this world looked down on female doctors, but we, Wanhua Building. The mother in the building heard that there was Doctor Zhao in the border town, but she harshly put a few high incense on Master Bodhisattva! I told my mother, what's the use of burning incense for Bodhisattvas? You should come to Dr. Zhao! She originally wanted to come to invite Doctor Zhao in person, but she was worried that it would be okay for people in the world to look down on her. If she looked down on you because she came to her, she would regret it."

Zhao Changqing heard Duan Laohu talk and said, "It's late today, let's wait for tomorrow."

Duan Laohu thanked him very much, "Thank you, Dr. Zhao, you are such a kind person. Good people will be rewarded. I thank you on behalf of the girls in our building." After saying a lot of good words, Duan Laohu left.

In the past, they could only hire doctors from small medicine shops. People may see the rich medical expenses, but they are actually very despicable. With female doctors in the city, the girls in the building were not very happy to ask male doctors to show them. Duan Laohu said that this is also one of the reasons why Wanhua Building is not cheaper than Nanfeng Hospital. Nanfeng Hospital is full of young servants, and doctors are particularly easy to invite.

After seeing off the last patient, Xia Wen asked Zhao Changqing quietly, "Are you going?"

Zhao Changqing sighed, "It's all human beings, and those women are pitiful."

Xia Wen said, "I'll go with you tomorrow." Zhao Changqing is a girl who is not old and always makes people feel worried when she goes to such places.

Zhao Changqing said, "There must be someone who supports him in the shop, and I will take Liangdong there."

Xia Wen nodded, "This is OK." He turned around and reminded Zhao Liangdong a few times, thanked Zhao Changqing for his nod, and Xia Wen went home.

As soon as Xia Wen got home, Xia Yu jumped out to greet him, took the dessert bag from his elder brother's hand, and asked in a soft voice, "Brother, is this dessert?"

Xia Wen nodded, Xia Yu first ran back to the house to put down the snacks, then scooped water from the water tank, asked the elder brother to wash his hands, and ran to the kitchen and said to his mother, "Mom, I'm back from buying snacks!"

Mrs. Xia laughed, "Come and start the fire and have some snacks later."

Xia Yu's face was flushed, sweat was everywhere on the tip of her nose. She stuffed a lot of firewood into the stove and pulled her mother out, "When the firewood is finished, the buns on the steamer will be almost cured. Let's go out and sit down, the kitchen is so hot."
