The number of people who come to make morning tea is the most, and soon the tea shop is full of people, basically some coolies who are ready to carry the work, come here to fill their stomachs, and by the way drink a bowl of tea to warm up, and then there are some idle old people, who come here to play cards, talk, and chat.

The tea room was bustling, with chirping, laughter, slapping the table and laughing, and talking loudly. The widow carried a copper kettle and joked with the tea customers, some of whom wanted to eat breakfast, so they took copper coins and brought some noodles, rice balls or cooking cakes to feed their stomachs.

I was busy working when I suddenly heard a crackling sound on the bluestone street, and then it seemed that someone was running towards me.

When the man came closer, he knelt on the bluestone slab at the door with a bang, and shouted in a mournful voice: "Widow Xia, ah no, no, Xia Yinhua, the daughter-in-law of the Xia family, I was wrong, I can't stand you, I shouldn't bully people, your taxes don't have so much money, it's me talking nonsense, and I only have a tax of two hundred wen a month." It's my own nonsense that asks for 4,000 Wen, I deceived you, I want to beat your idea, I'm a brute, I won't dare to do it again. I'm going to move that crooked eye again, and tell me to hit five thunders in the sky! You can spare me, please, sister-in-law of the Xia family......"

After that, he said incoherently, knocking his head on the ground, his head hitting the bluestone slab, and only a few times he saw blood on his forehead, which startled the tea guests sitting by the door, because they saw clearly that the middle-aged man kneeling at the door of the tea room and kowtowing and begging for mercy was the Quirry Zheng who was arrogant and brought people to collect taxes.

Quary was followed by a few soldiers, they were called by Querry to follow here early in the morning, originally thought they were here to seal the store, so they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to close the store, someone stopped them and fought hard, but they didn't expect the result to be like this, so their surprised eyes were going to pop out.

Xia Yinhua was startled, and hurriedly avoided it with the teapot, not daring to kowtow to him, and said nervously: "Kui Ye, what are you making trouble with?"

Quary was knocking his head a few times, and when he heard that the voice was not in front of him, he raised his head, and the blood had already flowed down his forehead, and he turned his head to look, but now Xia Yinhua was standing next to him, and quickly turned around again, and then kowtowed in the direction of Xia Yinhua and said: "You must forgive me, I will never dare again, if you don't forgive me, I won't be able to live." ”

Xia Yinhua saw that one of his ears was wrapped in a white cloth, and she didn't know that he was torn off half a pull before midnight, so she went to Lang Zhong early in the morning and quickly sewed it, and she didn't know if she could use it.

Lang Zhong told him that the other party was obviously merciful, and did not crush the whole bone, but cracked, and the injury was not too serious, but it would take three or two months to recuperate, and it was estimated that he would not be left with a disability, so he was relieved. Thinking of the cruel words that the man in black left down at the end, where can he still sit still, the man has come and gone without a trace, and it is really not a joke to kill himself, so he called the soldiers to run to kowtow and make amends, first save his life, and when he arrives, he kneels down and kowtows, where to take care of so much.

When Xia Yinhua heard what he said, she was really angry. It turned out that his tea shop had a tax of 200 wen a month according to the rules, but he actually increased it by 20 times, and he didn't know at all, how much the tax was not his final word, who would dare to compare it with the people in the imperial court? Now I heard him say that he had spent so much money in vain before, but it was a trap he set to rectify himself, and he spat on the ground fiercely, but he was afraid that the other party would hold a grudge, so he quickly said: "Hehe, Kui Ye is sorry, I stuffed something between my teeth, but I didn't mean to spit on you, Kui Ye." ”

"No, no, this is what I should, I should smack, I should die, I will never dare to bully you in the future, the money you paid in front of you has already paid the taxes for several years, you don't have to pay it again, and you don't have to pay it for the next five years." You forgive me, I don't dare to do these bullying things anymore, you must forgive me, sister-in-law of the Xia family, otherwise I won't be able to live. Please, please, I don't want to die. He fell to the ground and wept

Xia Yinhua was really a little confused by the second monk, but when she heard him say this, she hurriedly put the teapot on the table next to her, bent down and said: "Kui Ye, you hurry up, I can't afford to be like this, don't say anything to forgive or not forgive, how dare we as people do this, if you really have something to do, you have kowtowed and made amends, what else can I do? So you hurry up, you can't kneel anymore, get up quickly." ”

Quary was tilting his head, blood on his forehead, and he looked at Xia Yinhua pitifully: "Have you forgiven me?"

Xia Yinhua nodded a little embarrassedly, shook her head and said: "How can you say that, you haven't done anything wrong, I should pay the money first, pay a little more, and then I won't pay it, and I can't talk about forgiveness, Kui Ye, you hurry up." ”

Quierry was originally half of his feet raised and became a half-kneeling position, but when he heard what she said, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said, "If you still don't forgive me, then I'll die, please, just give me a word to spare me, I won't dare to do it again." ”

Xia Yinhua heard that he originally wanted to forgive herself, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I forgive you, you get up quickly." ”

Querry was struggling to get up, and the two soldiers hurriedly came up to help him pat the dust on his knees, but he pushed the two away, and then shouted: "Don't hold on, I'm not old enough to help," turned around and smiled and said to Xia Yinhua, "Do you really forgive me?"

"Forgive, I forgive you, Kuiye. ”

"Don't you dare to call me that, you call me Kui Youcai, or you can call me Kui Dog, my parents call me that, this is my nickname, hehe"

Xia Yinhua burst out laughing, and quickly covered it with her hands, and the other diners were also eating and laughing, but they didn't dare to look at Queirizheng, and they shrugged their shoulders with their backs and laughing.

Quierry was very embarrassed, but as long as he was forgiven by Xia Yinhua, his life would be saved, so he was in a very happy mood, and he sighed with relief and thanked him, and felt that his face was too big before, and it was not good to stay here anymore, so he hurriedly nodded his head while retreating, and almost fell down with one foot in the air, and the soldiers behind him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and then limped away.

Widow Xia never thought that it was Yang Xianmao who secretly helped her, because Yang Xianmao was with her last night, she always thought that Yang Xianmao was by his side, so she would not think that it was him, what was going on, which master was secretly helping her, she was really confused for a while, but this result made her very happy, which means that she doesn't have to spend a lot of taxes, and the box of money is almost all her own, except for the coffin book of the old woman.

It seems that this little man sees that feng shui is really effective, and in just one day, he earned a box of copper coins, forty yuan, and was exempted from official taxes for the next five years, and the real wealth is rolling.

However, although she earned this forty yuan, she was very sorry in her heart, after all, Xiao Langzhong didn't drop her much, and she didn't even take off her clothes, so she gave so much money for nothing, is this Xiao Langzhong really a little stupid? She took advantage of the free time of mixing water to sneak to the door to take a look twice, and it turned out that Yang Xianmao was busy now.

From early in the morning, people kept coming to see him, and the first one to come was an old father who was supported by a coolie.

The night before, they had already received a message sent by Liu Wuye, asking them to go to the Xiaolangzhong surnamed Yang next to the Xia widow's tea shop to see a doctor, regardless of whether they or their relatives were sick, and they had to pay double the consultation fee, and the extra favor could be returned to the house.

Yang Xianmao himself sits on the bluestone slab, of course, there is no stool for the people who come to see the doctor to sit, and the people who see the doctor can only squat or sit on the bluestone slab next to him. The coolie was a filial son, took off his coat and spread it on the bluestone slab, helped his father to sit down, and he himself was laughing with his bare arms, looking at Yang Xianmao flatteringly, and asking him to see his father.

Yang Xianmao said to the old man, "Why is the old man uncomfortable?"

The old man put his head on his hand and said, "Dizzy, the flowers in front of my eyes, as if there are all kinds of butterflies and bees flying in front of me." ”

"Did you take any medicine?"

The coolie next to him hurriedly helped and said: "I ate it, I took more than ten doses of the Gui Spleen Soup in Huang Langzhong, but it had no effect at all, but I was upset, insomnia, as if I was going crazy, and then Huang Langzhong changed it to Stone Rolling Phlegm Soup, and prescribed five more doses, but the result was still no effect at all." I heard that Mr. has excellent medical skills, so I came to take a look, and if the treatment is good, the consultation fee will be doubled. - By the way, you treat people, how do you collect money!"

"A penny. ”

The coolie was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's only a penny? I'll give you five cents. Please take a look. ”

Yang Xianmao didn't speak, then grabbed the old man's hand to check the pulse, then looked at the tongue elephant, and said: "You are on fire and disturbing the Qingming, you only need to take a large dose of Coptis chinensis." It is taken after soaking in water each time, and no other medicine is required. ”

The coolie glared and said, "Only use the flavor of Coptis chinensis, and if you don't deserve some other medicine, can it be effective?"

Yang Xianmao said: "If you believe me, I will follow what I say, if you don't believe me, please ask Gao Ming." ”

The coolie snorted in his stomach, thinking that if it weren't for Liu Wuye's request to come to you to see a doctor, I wouldn't have bothered to come to you with your medical skills, especially your attitude of ignoring answers. Forget it, it will be regarded as acting, and it will cost Liu Wuye to please Liu Wuye for nothing, and it will only be a few dollars in total.

So he smiled wryly, took out a worn-out money bag from his pocket, counted five coins in it, and handed it to Yang Xianmao: "Thank you so much, this is five cents, take it." ”

Yang Xianmao took a penny from his palm and said, "I said, only charge a penny, don't want more." ”

The coolie snorted, put the remaining four cents on the bluestone slab beside Yang Xianmao, and then helped his father to stand up, and slowly staggered towards his house.

While helping his father to walk forward, the coolie looked back from time to time to see if Yang Xianmao had collected the money, but saw Yang Xianmao's head looking at the dock, and he didn't care about the four copper coins on the bluestone slab beside him.

The coolie is very strange, does this little Langzhong really want it? How can there be a Langzhong who only charges a penny for medical treatment. Just as he was wondering, he saw two little mice in the opposite corner of the wall called Huazi, trotted all the way to Yang Xianmao, grabbed the copper coin on the bluestone slab, turned around and ran. Yang Xianmao turned a blind eye.
