221 Anonymous Hospital
On the second day, when the sun showed its tip at the end of the bluestone street, there were already many pedestrians on the road.
The breakfast shop was filled with hot bun pies, and the smell of meat attracted the children passing by......
It wasn't until the sun was fully rising that the doors of the medical halls in Bianjing City opened one after another, and the apprentices wiped the doors of their cabinets to the ground, holding the poles in their hands, and stood straight in the counter, all of them looked eager to try.
There was only one medical center, and the door was only half open.
There was no plaque in the clinic, and there was an apprentice squatting in the doorway, with a straw in his mouth, a dusty towel on his shoulder, and his eyes sweeping the street.
It wasn't until someone hurried in the distance that he straightened up lazily.
In the distance, a child of five or six years old was in his arms.
The man was sweating profusely and looked anxious, and the child in his arms had white lips and muttered something indistinctly.
The apprentice looked at the two of them, snorted, spit out the straw in his mouth, and asked, "Do you have enough money?"
"Foot of the foot. ”
The person who came was a man who was standing for a young age, and he was already sweating anxiously at the moment, and he couldn't spare his hand and directly motioned to the apprentice to take the purse from his waist.
The apprentice rubbed his nose, looked at the purse on the man's waist, took his hand again, and waved his hand: "Go in." ”
When the man heard this, he thanked the apprentice excitedly, and entered through the half-open door.
The man went in with his front feet, and someone came up with his back foot and carried the child in his arms into the inner room, and someone else took his purse.
Looking at the back of the person who took his purse, the man finally showed a slight smile on his face.
As long as the nameless clinic is willing to collect money, it means that the disease has been cured.
The reason why the nameless medical hall is called the nameless medical hall is not only because there is no plaque outside the door, but also because no one knows who the doctor is, even if hundreds of people have saved a life from here, no one knows who the doctor is and what he looks like.
The nameless clinic is open at sunrise and closed at sunset, and it will not be open for more than a quarter of an hour. In the rainy season, this only half door will never open a gap.
The way the hospital receives the consultation fee is also different from that of other families, and it must be the savings of the patient's family for the whole year of the previous year.
Exchange a year's savings for a life, value.
The clinic also has a requirement: only one person can accompany anyone who comes for treatment.
If the rules are not followed, the apprentice in front of the door will not let anyone in.
These rules must be followed regardless of the patient's status.
The man took out the handkerchief from his arms, carefully wiped the sweat from his face, and sat quietly. But there is no patient who has not been cured, so he will not worry, and nothing will happen to his son.
At this moment, an apprentice with a white face and red lips walked towards the man with a pot of tea.
The apprentice put the teapot on the table, but instead of pouring the tea, he sat opposite the man and said expressionlessly, "Master said, please help me if there is something." ”
"What's the matter?" the man was a little surprised, but he didn't dare not answer.
The apprentice smiled and whispered......
"Okay, no problem, as long as you can save my son, it doesn't matter. ”
……
The day passed quickly.
The sun set, the nameless clinic closed on time, and everything on the street was pulled out in a long shadow.
Xu Yu sat upright in the room, put down the sleeves of his rolled up, slowly smoothed them out, and raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him: "Thank you." ”
"Not necessarily. ”
Xu Yu smiled, got up from the couch, nodded to Chuntang who was standing aside, and left.
As soon as she left, there was a coughing sound in the house.
The apprentice hurriedly brought white water in, and complained: "Isn't this bullying! If your rules are broken, how can we stay on this street!"
"Don't say it, ahem, go down. ”
……
came out of the back door of the medical hall, promised to open the folding fan, and took Chuntang to Bianhe with a swagger.
The most lively night in Bianjing is the banks of the Bianhe River, and if there is any news, it will first come from here.
"Lady, oh...... Lang Jun, I'll go over and inquire first, you wait for me here. ”
Along the way, whenever he saw the tavern, Chuntang asked Xu Yu to wait outside, and went in to investigate, for fear that the people inside would collide with Xu Yu.
Standing on the side of the street, he heard a fruit seller next to him say to the buyer who picked the fruit: "Don't go to Wang Mazi's house to buy ice these days, their family's ice will be just a matter of summer, if you give it to the greedy child, the child will be sick and unable to open his eyes for half a day, and his mouth will be foaming at the mouth, it is really pitiful......."
The vendor said, his face furrowed, as if he had seen the frothing child.
The buyer who picked the fruit asked in surprise: "Really, Wang Mazi's ice this year is much cheaper than in previous years, and I plan to buy a few more pieces to go home in a few days to make the children in the family more comfortable......
"If you have children in your family, you must not buy Wang Mazi's ice, don't look at the ice sold cheaper, the things in it are not clean!
"Although the ice of the fat man's house on West Street is more expensive, it is better to buy the ice of the fat man's house than to take the risk to buy Wang Mazi's house, so it is more reassuring......
Xu Yu listened to the conversation on the street while fanning the folding fan to cool off, and said in his heart: The signboard of the Nameless Medical Center is still very easy to use, and the person in it only treats four or five patients a day, and these words can be spread on both sides of the Bianhe River.
After Chuntang came out of the tavern, he also heard the vendor's statement, and whispered in Xu Yu's ear: "The people inside are the same as this fruit seller. ”
One hundred and eighty paces apart, there is a new saying. No matter what kind of argument it is, it means that the ice in Wang Mazi's ice shop is not clean, and no one says that there is anything wrong with the cold drinks in the three stores under her name.
He promised to walk through himself before he was relieved, and he went back at night and slept directly until dawn.
After having breakfast with Lu, Xu promised to work as a female worker for half an hour, and when the half hour came, she immediately put away the mess of embroidered handkerchiefs and began to practice calligraphy.
Before lunch, July knocked on the door and said, "Lady, someone went to the prefect early this morning to sue Wang Mazi's ice shop, and the people from the Ministry of Industry have just been summoned over." ”
Xu Yue nodded and said, "Father shouldn't come back for dinner, you can talk to the kitchen when the time comes." ”
"Yes. ”
Sure enough, as promised to think, Xu Gucheng was busy until dark before coming back.
As soon as he returned to his study, he was asked to make a promise.
"Daddy, what's the matter with your daughter?" Xu Yu didn't expect Xu Gucheng to look for her at this hour, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Liuniang, what is the relationship between you and Zhu Shang?"
When Xu Yu heard Zhu Shang's name, he faintly had a bad premonition, but he didn't show it on his face, just replied: "I met him when I was in Suzhou, if I say what the relationship is, I really can't say it, I just recognize it." ”
The only light in the study room glowed faintly behind Xu Gucheng, promising to see Xu Gucheng's gaze clearly, but he could feel the power contained in it.
She never underestimated her father's strength, nor did she look down on herself.
Since she learned that the change in the price of the ice market was related to the Ministry of Industry, she was prepared for the fact that her father found out that she had three ice shops.
However, she rarely puts herself calmly in front of others, and now her father looks like I know what you have done, which makes her feel too uneasy in her heart.
In the end, Xu Yu chose to remain silent. After all, she didn't know how much her father knew.
"Liuniang, do you know where our Xu family's summer ice was bought?" Xu Gucheng saw that Xu Yu was unwilling to answer, so he asked her in a different way.
"The child doesn't care about that, I don't know. Xu Promise's hand was behind his back, his head was slightly down, and he did not make eye contact with Xu Gucheng.
"Do you know who are the owners behind the ice shop in Bianjing City?" Xu Gucheng sighed lightly, didn't say much, sat down slowly, and waited for Xu Cheng's answer.
Seeing Xu Gucheng like this, the strings that had been tight in his heart suddenly loosened.
Based on what she had known about her father for more than a year, since he was willing to sit down and talk to her, it meant that he was not angry.
"Daddy, there are three ice shops under my son's hands, all of which are entrusted to me by Zhu Shang......"
Before the promise was finished, Xu Gucheng sighed and asked: "In Bianjing City, there are too many industries under Zhu Shang's name to count, he made a poisonous oath back then, and now that he dares to enter Beijing, the industries in his hands will inevitably be released, how many have you taken over?"
Xu Yu glanced up at Xu Gucheng and whispered, "The people in Bianjing City are now in my charge." "If my father wants to check, the things in Bianjing City will definitely be able to find out clearly, and she has to say it now if she doesn't say it.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Gucheng's eyes, and he pinched the hand on the table, motioned for Xu to sit down, and said, "Liuniang, you have never studied business, and you are still young, can you manage these things?" ”
From the moment Zhu Shang entered Beijing, I don't know how many people were staring at his industry, but they didn't expect it to be transferred to the name of Liuniang.
If others know that these industries are now managed by Liuniang, some people will inevitably think that Liuniang is underqualified, so they will suppress or even compete for the industry.
In this way, Liuniang's situation will become very difficult.
"Father, these shops have shopkeepers, and the scale is also very mature, and there is no need to do much to take over now, just help them on weekdays, don't let them be ruined. ”
As soon as Xu Promise said this, Xu Gucheng suddenly laughed, his expression was rare and cheerful, and asked, "Liuniang, did you spread the rumors outside in the past two days?"
"Daddy, how can anyone talk about his daughter like you, then it's a rumor, it's clearly true. Seeing Xu Gucheng's smile, Xu Promise's mood also relaxed.
Xu Gucheng put away his smile and lit the lamp on the table, and the room instantly lit up a lot, he said: "I noticed the change in the price of the ice market this year a few days ago, and I suspect that someone put the ice storage in the market of the Ministry of Industry, and was interrupted when I was about to check the ice cave several times, and now you have uncovered them to the surface, which is really a great favor to my father."
