Chapter 27 The Blacksmith Shop in the Capital City

When I arrived at the study, I saw that the house was full of messy books, it turned out that my father had turned all the books several times, and it was even more bottom-up, and my mother, Steward Chen, and Chen Xi were still flipping through them one by one, and everyone was tired and sweating.

When my father saw Jin Cheng coming in, he asked, "What kind of compendium book are you talking about, we have all flipped through it three times, but we haven't seen it."

Jin Cheng really can't stand it, hold it, hold it, don't laugh!

adjusted the mood of wanting to laugh at this time, and said sincerely: "Oh, there is no book at all, I lied to the master" He was afraid that if he said that there was, his father would turn it over and keep turning it over, so he simply let him stop thinking.

The father was so angry that he stomped his foot.

The mother was tired for a long time, but this was the result, and scolded: "Stinky boy, you are so naughty, so that we have not rested at noon and kept looking for it, you are good, you are sleeping."

Jin Cheng said embarrassedly: "I made up a prescription myself, father, otherwise, please guide and guide" I thought that it was my father anyway, and it didn't hurt to give it to him, there were at least dozens of prescriptions here, and if I gave it to my father, my conscience would be better.

My father was so tired and sweating profusely that he took the manuscript and glanced at it, and saw that it was crookedly written "Great Doctor Jin Cheng Prescription" Author: Jin Cheng, I don't want to turn it over, and I said in my heart that you are still a great doctor, and all the doctors in this world are divine doctors, so I threw it to him and said disdainfully: "Bah, I also have a great doctor Jin Cheng! Why don't you write about the divine doctor Jin Cheng? Get out, you dare to deceive, I really want to beat you up to relieve my hatred" After speaking, he ignored him at all and took everyone out.

Jin Cheng was scolded for no reason, holding the picture book in his hand, and his whole body was full of eggs.

At night, Yifang came to prick the needle again, and during the needle pricking process, Yu Guang glanced at the hand-painted book for a long time and didn't see the hand-painted book, and asked, "Senior brother, why didn't you see your prescription?"

Jin Cheng knew that she should have asked about the master's condition, and got a positive answer, looking at her anxious appearance, she was very cute, and her heart was so perfect that she didn't know what it was like to be crazy, and said mischievously: "Oh, it's burned."

"Ah, it's burned!" she tensed, her hand shook, and the needle deflected.

Jin Cheng sweated in pain, and shouted in his mouth: "Oops, pain! pain! no! swelling!swelling!".

Yifang immediately came back to her senses and said hurriedly: "Senior brother, why did you burn it, it's really a tyrannical thing."

Jin Cheng feigned anger and said: "It's the important prescription and the person who wrote the prescription is important, this injection just now almost made me feel angry."

Yifang said embarrassedly: "No, I was scared just now, too! The prescription was written by you anyway, but why did you burn her?"

Jin Cheng said with a bitter face: "This afternoon, I gave the prescription to my father and told him that these are all classic prescriptions, but he didn't believe it, and scolded me, and I was unhappy and burned it."

Yifang said sadly: "Senior brother, others don't believe you, I believe you."

Jin Cheng said: "Senior sister, if you marry me, I will give you a prescription every day, you see how it is."

Yifang blushed and said: "We are still young now, and it is still early for lifelong events, besides, you and Sister Yiren can marry each other."

Jin Cheng was originally joking with her, and he didn't want to go deep into this issue, so he said embarrassedly: "Hehe, too."

Yifang sank her face, thinking that you would entertain me, how could she be sincere, and said angrily: "As soon as I say Sister Yiren, you will change immediately, and I will not believe your words in the future, I hate it."

Where did Jin Cheng think of this, seeing that her pink eyebrows were slightly frowned, very cute, and immediately flattered: "No! No! No! Senior sister, I mean, you are right, we have not started our career yet, how can we have a long relationship with children."

Yifang didn't want to pay attention to him, didn't make a sound, and pouted.

Jin Cheng saw that she was silent, it seemed that she was really angry, and said in his mouth: "Senior sister, don't be angry, come! Laugh, senior brother will give you a little surprise."

Yifang feigned anger and said, "Hmph! I'm really angry, don't mess with me."

Jin Cheng took the "Great Doctor Jin Cheng Prescription" in his hand under the pillow and said: "Oh, the little junior sister ignores me, I have to burn her."

Yifang saw the book, if he got the treasure, he immediately grabbed it, and said happily: "Senior brother, I'll just say, you're not a good person, you're a liar, it's all right" After speaking, he read it carefully.

What kind of logic is this, it is difficult to refute.

Half an hour has passed, and there has been no movement, and now my head is full of silver needles, and I have been maintaining this posture, and my neck is so sore.

Said helplessly: "Senior sister, can you pull out the needle and look again."

Yifang was fascinated by it, but she didn't hear it.

Jin Cheng raised his voice again and said, "Senior sister."

Yifang was stunned for a moment, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jin Cheng was speechless and said, "Look at the time, this needle has been pricked for too long."

"Oh, well, I forgot, your prescription is so well written," she smiled embarrassedly, got up and put away all the needles, and opened the book to continue reading.

Jin Cheng said in his heart, this guy is quite serious, and said: "Senior sister, don't look too much at this, be careful of going crazy."

Yifang said: "Senior brother, there are too many prescriptions, I won't be able to remember them for a while."

Jin Cheng said: "Look at you pitiful, tired of you, hurt in my heart, I can't bear you to study so hard, or this book will be kept by you, okay."

Yifang's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Okay, good."

After thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "Senior brother, this is too valuable, I don't dare to accept it, let's let you go here, I can usually come and see it."

Jin Cheng said in his heart that you have a conscience, and said with a smile: "Fool, you are my junior sister, my most important person, no matter how valuable things can be handed over to you, if you want, I can give you my heart, and I can rest assured that the prescription will be handed over to you, you just need to be careful not to show it to anyone, in addition, I usually think of the prescription will tell you, and you will help me fill in the prescription to further improve" It is a good way to hand over the heart to her, and she is very arrogant, maybe she may really lose it.

Yifang saw him running the train with his mouth full, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't do it! no longer shirked, and said happily: "Okay, okay, even if my father comes, I won't give it, hehe" After speaking, he showed an innocent smile.

Father and mother saw that this stinky skin was like a different person, and they nested in the room every day and didn't come out, at most, they occasionally accompanied Li Zimo out to go out for a while, and at most they went to Zhiweixuan to have a meal and talk about ideals and life, and they didn't quarrel to go to the hospital to see patients, nor did they take the initiative to provoke Chen Xia from Xinglintang.

My father was even more surprised that he actually came to his confidant to ask for some classics of traditional Chinese medicine, such as the treatise on typhoid fever or something, and occasionally humbly asked himself for advice, and he still had some insight into the discussion of some cases, and the sun really came out in the west.

After dinner, in the parents' room, the mother said: "Husband, have you found it, Cheng'er has changed like a different person since she recovered from illness, and she loves to study for the first time, I saw that he was a little strange in the room every day, so I asked the maid to know the painting, guess what she said."

The father said in his heart, no matter how much he changes, he will never leave it, is it impossible to change from a gentleman to a young role model!

The mother said angrily: "Why don't you want the cub to be good, Zhihua said that the young master carries prescriptions in the room every day, and he also made a book to copy some classic prescriptions to study, which is very serious."

The father said angrily: "Oh, copy the classic prescriptions of the predecessors to the book, and then say that it is "The Great Doctor Jin Cheng Prescription", the author is still himself, you also read his book yesterday, it really doesn't let us worry, that is to start learning to run without learning to climb, the key problem is that it is not shameless, no wonder he has come to me for medical classics these days."

The mother thought that it was funny that she was looking for the book that she didn't have in the study, and said: "That stinky boy, we had to find a book that didn't have it yesterday, and you too, he said yes, and you really believed it, so I didn't take a nap, and I was dizzy yesterday afternoon."

"This bastard, he said it at the dinner table, I really believe it, but his prescription is really good, I studied it for a long time, and it is indeed symptomatic, and my senior brother said that he has eight or nine points better for his stomach disease, and he shouldn't lie, but I don't know where this prescription came from" Father Qidao.

The mother sneered and said, "Maybe he just found a few herbs to form a prescription and stumbled into it by mistake."

"Well, it's possible," thought my father, thought to himself, if he had any classic prescription, he would not believe it.

"Master, madam, no, no," Chen Xi hurriedly ran in, shouting in his mouth.

As everyone finished eating, my mother hurriedly said, "What's wrong, I'm shocked."

Chen Xi panted and said, "Madam, the Linshan County Pharmacy sent someone back to say that Chen Yan had just fallen down the stairs."

"Ah, it's not serious, why are you so careless" The father said hurriedly, in his heart, this Chen Yan is like his own son, although he is the son of the servant Steward Chen, he has studied medicine with him since he was a child, and he is also his apprentice, Jin Cheng is not angry, and his medical skills are ready to be taught to him.

Chen Xi said: "I don't know the specifics, my father went in a hurry just now, and he should have broken his leg."

The father hurriedly said: "Prepare the carriage quickly, I'll go."

Chen Xi hurriedly said: "Master, after my father understood the situation just now, he was in a hurry, and asked me to tell you that it should be a broken lower leg, and the problem is not to be solved, so you and your wife should not worry too much, he will deal with it first."

As soon as everyone heard this, the psychological stone fell to the ground.

The father said: "No, I'll still go and take care of him, there are not enough people over there, so it will be better to recover."

Mother said, "Then Linshan County has to send someone, otherwise there will be no one in charge," she reminded.

Father said: "That's too, Chen Xi, I'm a little younger, what should I do" He thought psychologically.

When Jin Cheng heard this, the opportunity had come, it was really a godsend, and he took the initiative to ask: "Father, mother, it's good if I take Chen Xi with me."

The father pondered for a while and said, "No, don't make a mess at this time, I'll think about it again, it's really not good, I'll do it myself."

Jin Cheng said again: "Father, it will take a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, it is impossible for your old man to go for a few months, I suggest that Chen Xi is responsible for the main work, and I will go with me, so that I don't ask, don't participate, don't make trouble, it just so happens that I still have a lot of medical books to read, if you don't worry, you can come over to supervise at any time, anyway, it's close."

The father hesitated.

The mother said in her heart, what is her son worried about, and said with a final word: "Okay! I think it's feasible, Chen Xi is really not at ease alone, Cheng'er takes Yifang and Zhihua, and you still have Xiao Dengzi, I'm still relieved, we can go once a week."

The father pondered for a while and said, "Okay, let's leave now, the third chapter of the law, Chen Xi is in charge of all matters in the pharmacy, you kid can be the shopkeeper, don't make trouble" He looked at Jin Cheng and said.

He also instructed: "Chen Xi, you make the accounts clear every day, deposit them in the money bank, you are in charge of all matters in the pharmacy, if your brother Jin Cheng is naughty, you can bring the words back, don't be afraid, I will clean him up."

Jin Cheng promised: "Okay, I don't think I will interfere with Chen Xi's work."

Seeing that everyone was almost ready, the mother walked next to Jin Cheng and quietly stuffed a stack of silver tickets, and whispered: "Give you five hundred taels of silver to spend, buy more gifts for Yifang, and strive to marry home as soon as possible, you understand your mother's good intentions" After speaking, she squeezed her eyebrows at him.

Jin Cheng's sweat! Mother is really generous for this daughter-in-law!

Everyone went to Linshan County in two carriages.

His father, Imperial Physician Li, still had a lot of things to arrange, so Chen Xi made a carriage with him.

Jin Cheng, Yifang and Zhihua sat in a car.

In less than half an hour, he arrived at the county seat of Linshan County, Jin Cheng opened the curtains and looked outside, and said in his heart that this is similar to Jingkou County, the city walls, shops, and people come and go.

What catches the eye is the mottled dark red city wall, the city wall is not high, the city wall is carved with the ancient book font on the Linshan County on the big character, below is a passage, there are two vermilion iron gates, the entrance on both sides is lazy and lazy each stands an official errand, the brick wall at the end of the stump tells the long history, from time to time there is a small two shouting in the ears, the sound of driving horses and donkeys, and the car and traveling merchant Jia shuttles back and forth.

After entering the city, I feel that this Linshan County is similar to that of Jingkou County, and the shops on both sides are also varied, such as breakfast shops, meat and vegetable shops, fish stalls, clothing stores, inns, harness and donkey harness shops, etc.

Suddenly, he saw a sign hanging on a shop: Beijing Blacksmith Shop.

Jin Cheng's heart was pounding, it was really effortless to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to find it, it turned out that this blacksmith shop had moved here, and he shouted: "Stop."

It startled everyone.

When Jin Cheng saw that the carriage stopped, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, and several beauties also got out of the carriage.

Seeing that they had stopped, the father came out and asked, "What's wrong, why did it stop?"

Jin Cheng smiled and said: "Father, you and Chen Xi will go to hand over first, we don't need this carriage, we want to go shopping."

The father said angrily: "Okay, we will go back to Jingkou County later, you go back to Jinfu early, don't forget" I want to know the painting and know the place, and the young man likes to wander around, so let him go.

Jin Cheng's chicken jelly, he didn't find him after several visits, but he finally found it today, so it's no wonder that he wasn't excited.

Walking to the door, the owner of the blacksmith shop in Jingkou County said that this person had a very strange temper, so he also kept an eye on it, and instructed Zhihua: "After you go in, you take the smallest scissors and ask him to build half the size, the price doesn't matter, see what kind of attitude he has."

Jin Cheng took everyone in, the store is not big, the decoration should not be long, the front of the store is full of iron pots and pans, and all kinds of iron tools for peasant work are also readily available, most of the store is iron-striking, there are four or five iron hammers of different sizes, the ground in the middle of the room is inlaid with a wooden stake with a diameter of one meter, a large piece of pig iron is embedded on it, the diameter is at least half a meter, it seems that this should be used to temper iron, between the pig iron and the wooden stakes, the ground is full of iron filings.

There is a large bellows against the wall, the other side of the bellows is linked to a stove, there is a charcoal fire in it, the bellows is not pulled at this time, a few flames are not very spiritual, occasionally burst out, and a large water tank is also prevented next to it, I don't know what to do with.

There was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy napping next to the bellows, and at first nothing happened.

Jin Cheng pretended to cough, the child woke up, and he was very happy to see the guests, rubbed his eyes, and shouted into the house: "Master, there are guests."

An old man came out of the room, it should be a horse blacksmith, about fifty or sixty years old, wearing a black overalls, which were covered with iron filings, as if telling others: I am the blacksmith master, and said coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you want something to be optimistic about yourself, come and ask me the price if you are optimistic, Tong Suo is not deceived, and refuse to bargain."

After speaking, he ignored everyone, and took a hammer and beat it.

Jin Cheng was so depressed, no wonder others said that he had a strange temper, but when I saw him today, it was really the case! With such an indifferent attitude, he didn't dare to ask him to build those surgical instruments, mainly because he refused, and he was in trouble, so it was difficult to speak again.

According to the young master's instructions, Zhihua picked up the smallest pair of scissors and asked, "Master, how do you sell these scissors."

The blacksmith Ma glanced at it and said, "Ten coins and a handful" After saying that, he was busy with his own affairs again.

Zhihua said: "Oh, master, may I ask, I want to customize a pair of scissors that are half smaller than this, is it okay?"

The blacksmith Ma glanced at her, and said in his heart, you, this little girl, are here to entertain me, do you like to buy it or not, and said, "Why did I build it for you?"

Seeing his attitude, Zhihua was a little speechless, obviously this is not according to the rhythm of the script, but it is not easy to say the following, and continued to say politely: "That's the case, I want half-sized scissors at home, if it is convenient, I want to order a few, the price is not a problem."

The horse blacksmith continued to say coldly: "It's inconvenient."

Zhihua didn't expect him to do business like this, so he said angrily: "I don't think you're inconvenient, you can't build it."

The blacksmith sneered: "Little girl, I don't think you are sincere in buying things, you are here to entertain the old man, let me tell you, I can build a third of it, let alone half of it, the old man, I am old, I don't want to toss it, I can go straight into the room.

Others say that he has a strange temper, which is even more strange than the eight monsters in Jiangnan.

Jin Cheng was confused, and he didn't know what to do.

Jin Cheng glared at Zhihua and said: "Zhihua, you guy, why are you disrespectful, now you are in trouble, and you are completely offended."

Zhihua's face was flushed, she didn't expect this old man to have such a big temper, and muttered: "There is such a business."

Yifang knew that Jin Cheng had been looking for this blacksmith shop, but she didn't know why, so she was curious: "Senior brother, why do you want to make the scissors so small."

Jin Cheng cried and said: "It has a big effect, I want him to build some precision instruments, only he can build them in the Tang Dynasty, his attitude is over now."

Zhihua hurriedly said: "What should I do?"

Yifang smiled mysteriously: "Senior brother, let's go back first, I have a way."
