Chapter 160: Father-in-law Visits
This trick quickly worked, not long after Assistant Yao and they left, there were patients in the pharmacy who came to see the doctor and buy medicine, and the people who bought the medicine were very exaggerated, a lot of them were bought, and they couldn't hold a dozen big bags, and they laughed and praised the Yang family's medical skills, especially the magical medical skills of disemboweling and disemboweling, only the gods in the sky would be like Yunyun, and after praising it, they held the medicine bag and laughed and left.
Yang Mingde and his wife were naturally surprised and delighted, but they didn't know why so many patients came to seek medical advice all of a sudden.
Before noon, the Yang family had already earned thousands of dollars and copper coins just by selling medicines, and Yang Mingde and Zhang were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together.
When it was almost noon, two middle-aged people came, carrying waist knives, and after running in, they laughed with them, their attitude was very respectful, and they asked repeatedly: "Excuse me, who is Yang Xianmao in the little lang of the Rejuvenation Hall?"
Yang Xianmao originally went out some time ago to either go out to send a doctor to see a doctor, or go to a mass grave outside the city to dissect the corpse, but after Assistant Teacher Yao came in the morning, Yang Xianmao knew that the eunuch Huang Gonggong was coming today, so he didn't go anywhere, so he stayed in the pharmacy. In addition, there are a lot of people who come to see the doctor today, and my father is too busy, so Yang Xianmao also helps to treat people together.
Therefore, when these two middle-aged men with knives came, Yang Xianmao was treating people in the pharmacy, and immediately stood up and arched his hand: "In the next place, what do you two command?"
The two took out their waist cards and showed them to Yang Xianmao, and said in a low voice: "The small one is the official of the prefect's yamen, and he has come to report to the son, and the emperor sent Huang Gonggong to help the disaster will come to visit him, please prepare to greet him." During this period, do not accept patients and people who buy medicines, so as not to have any accidents. ”
When Yang Mingde heard this, he was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he didn't know what was going on, and suddenly heard that a father-in-law from the palace who was delivering a decree actually wanted to visit their pharmacy with a slight dose, and he couldn't help but be in a hurry, so nervous that he didn't know what to do.
Yang Xianmao didn't care at all, seeing that his father was so panicked that he couldn't even speak, he arched his hand to those who were still buying medicine and kept praising their medical skills: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, the shop is in an emergency, and it is temporarily closed, please come back another day, I'm really sorry." ”
The two plainclothes servants just said very lightly, and the people in the house didn't hear it, so they didn't know the real reason, since they heard him say this, they hurriedly confessed and left, but there were still people who didn't know the situation and went to the pharmacy again, wanting to come in to buy medicine and see a doctor. Without waiting for Yang Xianmao to speak, the two plainclothes officials had already stopped them outside, saying that they would be closed for the time being, and everyone was welcome to come back to the Rejuvenation Hall after an hour. The two plainclothes officials who stopped these people were both amiable and smiling, which stopped them outside the pharmacy.
Then came a small group of middle-aged people in plain clothes, wearing waist knives, guarding behind the front door of the house, because they were wearing civilian clothes, although they brought knives, but in this era of war and chaos, this is normal, so no one paid attention, at most they thought that it was Jianghu high-rollers who came to Huichun Hall to see a doctor. This happens quite often.
After another while, a four-person sedan chair came, escorted by more than a dozen strong men in plainclothes with knives in front and behind, driving away the approaching pedestrians, and went straight to the door of Yang Xianmao's Rejuvenation Hall. There is a small sedan chair in the back, and there is a person up and down the sedan chair, but it is Hu Tongju of the prefect's yamen, but he is also dressed in civilian clothes and is not conspicuous. Hu Tongju ran to the front first, opened the sedan curtain for the four people, and the eunuch Huang Gonggong, who came down from the sedan chair, also wore an ordinary robe, wore a hat, held a richly decorated brocade box in his hand, stepped out of the sedan railing with a smile, stood at the door of the pharmacy, and raised his eyes to watch.
Behind Hu Tongju, it was Assistant Teacher Yao who had come before, also wearing civilian clothes, and he was already full of spring breeze at the moment, without the previous frustration and panic.
Yang Mingde and his wife and son Yang Xianmao stood by the steps outside the door of the pharmacy, standing with their hands down and waiting. When the father-in-law got off the sedan chair when he saw this large poop, he just looked at the situation of their pharmacy, and couldn't help but be even more frightened, not knowing whether to come forward to greet him or stand and wait.
This time, Yang Xianmao did not take the initiative to attack, because this kind of ceremonial scene must have asked his father to come out, so he stood behind his father with his head down.
When the eunuch withdrew his gaze from the plaque and looked at the three people standing by the door, Assistant Teacher Yao smiled and stepped forward to make an introduction.
Hu Tongju has always been optimistic about Yang Xianmao's laparotomy and healing skills, thinking that it is the pride of Xuanzhou, but he didn't expect the new prefect to deliberately find Yang Xianmao's problem, for this reason, and Hu Tongju also had some unpleasantness. In fact, Hu Tongju had never met Yang Xianmao, and in this case, he took the initiative to speak for him, purely out of instinct to protect the talents of his own government.
After hearing the introduction, Hu Tongju glanced at Yang Xianmao and saw that he was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, with a delicate and weak appearance, but he couldn't imagine that such a young man had the ability to reach the sky and could dissect people to heal injuries. He wanted to know that Yang Xianmao had surgery on people's eyes, and he was afraid that his eyes would pop out even more in surprise.
After the introduction, Yang Mingde stepped forward in fear and was about to kneel, but Huang Gonggong hurriedly held him up, smiled and said: "No need to be like this, Yang Langzhong, the good son you taught, Ling Lang's medical skills are such a person, I admire it very much, and I came to see you." Before I came, Lord Lu Duanlu asked me to bring something to Ling Lang, they are old friends, and they are also very appreciative of Ling Lang's medical skills. ”
Hearing the other party praise his children so much, Yang Mingde smiled innocently, couldn't close his mouth, and hurriedly put them in the pharmacy.
The Yang family has not changed the furniture at home because of economic problems, and today they knew that the big official was coming, so they went to the landlord to borrow a few chairs, put them next to the long case, and specially prepared a little good tea. It has been boiled and poured into the pot, and Hongsheng'er is busy making tea.
Huang Gonggong didn't sit down, just looked around in the pharmacy, nodded frequently and said: "It's rare, it's rare, it's really rare for such a small and dilapidated pharmacy to produce such a talented young man." ”
Yang Xianmao hurriedly said a few words of modesty.
Huang Gonggong has been holding the brocade box in his hand, and at this moment, it was placed on the table of a few long cases, and he opened the lid with a click, pushed it in front of Yang Xianmao and said, "This is what Lord Lu Duanlu brought to his son in the middle of the household." Please take it. ”
Yang Xianmao looked inside, only to see a big red satin inside, a tightly wrapped thing, and he didn't know what it was, so he looked at Gonggong Huang suspiciously.
Huang Gonggong said: "When Master Lu gave me this thing, he only said that he bought it from a Persian merchant with a lot of money. At that time, the merchant's business was bankrupt and he had no money to return to his hometown, so he took out the treasure and sold it. At that time, Lord Lu happened to pass by, so he took it and saw it, and thought it was very strange, so he paid a lot of money to buy it, and he said that maybe Yang Gongzi would use this thing, so he called it to be delivered. ”
"Something from Persia?" Yang Xianmao was very curious, so he took this thing out with both hands, felt a little heavy, put it on the table, and unfolded it, but it was a large convex mirror made of crystal, about the size of a bowl. What can this thing do? It's very strange, but the whole piece is polished to a crystal clear, and it looks very good.
Yang Xianmao picked it up with both hands, looked at it repeatedly, and said, "The whole piece of crystal is still worth a lot of money." ”
Huang Gonggong laughed, but did not speak, muttering in his heart that although crystals are relatively rare, they are not as good as jade, if it is such a large piece of jade, it is a priceless He's bi, although crystals are rare, but they are not a treasure. It can be seen that Lu Duan's family is not a generous person, and it is better to send such a thing than a few ingots of gold.
Yang Xianmao looked left and right, it was very interesting, so he put the crystal convex mirror on the table.
Just as he was about to put it on the table, he was suddenly stunned, and his hands froze in the air, because he found that the lines of the red cloth under the crystal convex mirror were impressive, much clearer and larger than he usually saw.
Yang Xianmao took the crystal convex mirror to look at the cup next to him, and found that the cup suddenly became larger under the mirror, and the details were clear and vivid, and he couldn't help but say: "Wow, I can see things with this thing, but I can see much more clearly than my eyes." ”
Hu Tongju and Huang Gonggong both leaned over to take a look. Hu Tongju was a little surprised, and said: "Well, it's quite fun, and I really see a lot of things." ”
Gonggong Huang smiled and said, "This is nothing, there is already this thing in the palace, which is to grind the crystal into such a prominent shape, and then use it to read books." Huang has a pair, and he also invited Persian merchants to polish it, and they polished these things very exquisitely. Huang is old, his eyes are a little flowery, and he can read books with this thing very clearly, but you are much better than Huang someone's thing. It does seem to be a treasure. ”
Huang Gonggong said that he was a baby, but in fact, he didn't think so, because the crystal convex mirror in his hand was only used to read some small characters, and nothing else was useful, so he didn't think it was rare.
But Yang Xianmao couldn't put it down, took the crystal convex mirror and looked around, and shined on it, shining on a big eye, flashing and appearing behind, looking at him suspiciously and curiously, but it was a red dress.
Yang Xianmao happily handed the thing to Hongsheng'er and said, "Then, you can also play with it, this thing is fun, and it looks much bigger than before." ”
Hongsheng'er carefully took the crystal convex mirror, took it everywhere, and ran to the back of the medicine cabinet to grab a handful of medicine residues, put it on the paper and looked at it carefully, and was overjoyed. However, now that Gonggong Huang and Tong Juan are on the side, she doesn't dare to make a loud noise, so she can only suppress the excitement in her heart and play by herself there.
