Chapter 18 Recruitment
Junjinfang is located in the south of the imperial city, north of Fanjing, and it is about two hours' drive from the pharmacy in the south of the city. Yan's horse has good foot strength, and after a break along the way, Yan Gongzi invited her to get out of the car and buy some supper. The carriage was never loaded with food, because the son did not think it was clean.
After fully understanding the current situation of the pharmacy, he acted very generously and ordered the coachman to take the road of his own Rongzhai. The third watch has arrived, the shop gathering area in the north of the city is still brightly lit, the juggling in the hook bar is in full swing, the sheng song orchestra is hoarse at this time, and the fluttering โกโก dance skirt is moving and flashing on the high-rise building...... The aroma of fat powder mixed with the oil and meat of rice and pastry eats away at the long night of silence.
said that it was bought, but in fact, the shopkeeper came out and sent a large bag of exquisite pastries. She picked out the jujube paste and honey cake and put it in a light wooden box, and with the dutiful company of the old coachman, she tried to resist the urge to grab the meat floss stuffed chess cake and throw it into the box. It was definitely not the first time that Yan Xugui had done this kind of thing, Qingqing stood quietly at the door of the store and waited for her, obviously overestimating the time she would have to take.
Her impression of Yan Gongzi has changed a lot, and a box of pastries has dispelled most of the unpleasantness on the grassland. She saw that many of the young girls who were in the wine shops on the road wore hats on their heads, and she was familiar with the patterns that were the unique embroideries of Ayimu that she saw every day on the grasslands. All kinds of small flower hats shrouded in jet-black hair, lining the girls delicately.
Therefore, the fruits of Ayimu's labor really benefit thousands of families, and the head of a thousand families is Yan Gongzi, who counts silver. Su Huihui was extremely sympathetic to the thought that the Turkic girl had stolen her mother's earrings to meet this Balang, and as a result, she ran back dejectedly.
"On the day I walked with the army on the grassland, were Gongzi and General Rong together?"
Yan Xugui nodded casually and didn't say much.
Su Hui exhausted his words, so he closed his eyes in the car and rested.
I don't know how long it took, the car stopped, and the carriage in Yanfu was very comfortable, and there was not much movement when it stopped. Yan Xigui leaned on the couch, waiting for her to open her eyes automatically.
Su Hui's body was groggy, and his mind was active to feel that he was a somewhat cold person, who was kind to people on the surface, but the nobility in his bones easily drew a chasm.
She straightened her sideburns and thanked him and the coachman. Before he was about to get out of the car, he remembered something and looked back at him and said:
"Childe, Xiaguan is not a child. โ
Yan Xugui let out a faint "um", naturally knowing that she was referring to his sentence of "all the ages of the horns understand", and then looked at her meaningfully.
He couldn't help but say, "If Doctor Su knows, don't say it, after all, we all know it." โ
Su Huihui really felt that he couldn't sleep well this night.
The door of the pharmacy was newly painted, and outside the door stood Ruixiang, who was keeping vigil. Su Hui watched the carriage disappear into the narrow alley, tightened his clothes, and said to the little maid:
"When are you home?"
Ruixiang Dao had only stood at the door for a while, and the hired coachman had just left, and he only needed half of the silver. Su Huihui ordered her to boil water to prepare for a bath, and Ruixiang took out a dried silk undershirt for her, and said with a smile:
Doctor Qi instructed the maid on duty to warm the water, and the girl could go directly and go to bed early to rest. Who sent the girl back? The car is so good-looking!"
Su Hui said that he was the owner, and he wanted to show his attention to the pharmacy and ask questions routinely. Due to the fatigue of the car ride that night, she slept until the next hour, and did not even drink water in the middle of the night.
In the next three days, Su Hui looked at the test paper and saw dizziness. The doctor's handwriting was habitually sloppy, and the answer sheet was written as neatly as possible, but the handwriting was more difficult to read than the other. I didn't think it was too obvious to put it on the desk and read it one by one. Qin Yu was born in a family, she writes beautifully, she has been practicing calligraphy with her master since she was a child, but the two hours of practicing calligraphy are one thing, and prescribing medicine is another, she has been out of pain for many years, and it is really difficult for her to regain her state of mind to practice calligraphy.
Su Hui looked at the unbelievable font for a few days, and began to reflect on it from others to himself. In the future, the doctor in the pharmacy wrote prescriptions for the people, and she had to be allowed to take a look, although there were few literate people in the south of the city, but the pharmacy must always see the medicine clearly, and she began to wonder if the pharmacist would catch many wrong medicines, so that there was an incident.
It took a lot of effort to come up with the questions, so Su Huihui deliberately went to the largest bookstore in Fanjing to rent the test questions of the Tai Hospital in the past years, moved a bunch of materials back to the room to study, and even solved it in the room for dinner. The six people required by the Hou Mansion had to be in place before the seventh day of the first lunar month, and time was pressing, so she could only sacrifice sleep.
The pen is about to be bitten through by her, a person who loves cleanliness, but can't control his mouth, which is also inexplicable.
In the fourth year of junior high school, the pharmacy finally set a list of new doctors, three from Tianjinfu and three from other places. The first one or two subsidies of the Yan Mansion were sent to their homes, and the money was quite considerable for the doctors who lived in poverty, and some of the relatives who were originally unwilling to go to the low-profit Huimin Pharmacy as the pillar of their families were also relieved at this time, and warmly packed up their things in front of the people in the house.
The early sun was shining, Su Huihui sat in the hall, talking about business with Qin Yuan, the steward of the Yan Mansion who had taken time out of his busy schedule, and the autumn wind outside the door was gusting.
The two doctors from Yan's family and the doctors hired by the pharmacy themselves sat in two columns, carefully listening to the precautions in the future.
Su Huihui said with a pleasant face: "Our new doctors can be competent in daily affairs, and I believe that everyone can get along well." The six doctors must not be presumptuous, Huimin Pharmacy is now greatly strengthened by the favor of the Hou Mansion, and the salary is keeping up, what is the good construction yรฌ directly with me and Mr. Fang. Mr. Fong has been an assistant ambassador in the pharmacy for many years, and I have a lot of experience and experience, and I need to rely on him to handle my affairs. โ
She changed into her official uniform today, her green robe faintly carried the atmosphere of the forest, and several crystals on her wrist seemed to float on the snow, which was quite refreshing and pleasant.
Qin Yuan was wearing the coat of Wanshou Jin, shook his long beard, and said with a smile: "Gongzi can trust Doctor Su, that is, the pharmacy in the house can be trusted." Although this place in the south of the city is remote, everyone is working together, what can't be done? The two young people appointed by Gongzi are at the disposal of the deputy envoy, and these four must also obey the will of the deputy envoy. The accounts handed over to the government every month continue to be the responsibility of Doctor Qi, and there can be no more mistakes. โ
Chen Hua and Shu Heng, who came with Yan Mansion, had no objections, and the other four nodded yes one after another, and the other two named Song Yueyun and Yu Cheng glanced at each other and thanked the main seat.
Su Huihui said: "The process of this examination is not strict, it must be known that the screening of medical households by the Beijing Huimin Pharmacy is similar to that of the crude drug library of Tai Hospital, and it should be promoted from the local pharmacy to the central government, or recommended by others." I won't say much about the situation of the pharmacy in recent years, this recruitment is quite rushed, but I think that if you can pass the guรฒ test to get in, you must have a solid basic foundation and a flexible mind. In the future, in the same courtyard, everyone will help each other, and the pharmacy will definitely be prosperous. โ
Qin Yuan slowly turned the jade wrench on his thumb and said, "What the deputy envoy said is reasonable. He also called Qi Ming to come forward and instructed the settlement of income and expenditure.
The old man saw through most of this female doctor in his heart, and listened to the accent and spoke the standard official dialect of the Xude Dynasty, she was indeed a northerner, and her temperament was similar. The deputy envoy is not bad-hearted, but his words need to be slightly modified, but people are young and feel normal to do anything. Qin Yuan sighed, knowing a little about the stakes between the little ancestor in his family and the pharmacy, he was not good at making any evaluations, and only secretly reminded himself not to be too harsh on the pharmacy.
"Don't rely on the mansion either, let you fend for yourselves. โ
Chen Hua's eyes moved, and he bent his eyebrows and said, "Uncle, don't worry, you see that this Doctor Su is thoughtful, how dare I make trouble for her." Qin Yuan watched her grow so big, and every time she urged her father to tell her about others, she was desperately dragging on to the age of twenty-two, and she finally found an excuse to avoid those two mouths.
Shu Heng is a thoughtful young man, spitting lotus witty words, coaxing the housekeeper to smile. He is handsome and has a wide range of knowledge, and he sits with Chen Hua, who has an elegant temperament, which is particularly pleasing to the eye. It's a pity that Chen Hua didn't pay attention to him, looking at his friend and smiling.
Su Huihui has never taken the initiative to delve into other people's private affairs, but she also saw that this Doctor Shu was condescending to the pharmacy. The number of talents under Duanyang Hou's command may be a lot less, and if this doctor is willing to go out of the mansion and open up the way forward on his own, he is also worthy of their appreciation.
After the steward left, Chen Hua saw that Su Hui was talking to others and relied on Fang Yi a lot, so he knew that she had committed the mistake of shirking responsibility again, and after everyone broke up, she came up and bit her ear:
"You don't seem to be extremely busy lately, you really have to be so busy, you don't have time to think about things when you get them, you start doing it when you get it, where can you take care of the old gentleman. โ
Su Huihui looked at the seasonal fruits she brought, and said softly:
"I just can't see myself being so busy. Therefore work with me, lest you be dissatisfied, and say that I do not care for you. โ
After saying that, he dragged people into the room and studied how to make money through the old.
The crude drug depot is directly under the Tai Hospital, and the pharmacy is instructed to establish close contact with the drug depot and circulate a part of the medicinal materials. The quality of the drugs paid tribute in various places is not as mixed as that of folk pharmacies, and there are precedents for opening crude drug depots to help refugees in previous dynasties, and Yan's move is to break the discontinuous supply and create a long chain of government-civilian medicine docking.
There are 513,000 households in the Fanjing area, more in the south than in the north, and 320,000 households in the surrounding suburbs, about 1.27 million people, which is more than that in the south of Liang Guoming. The Ming capital has been inherited for more than 700 years, and has changed hands several times, and the accumulated population is erratic, and the population outflow in recent years has been less than the total number of households in Fanjing. The south has been inhabited by Yi people since ancient times, the climate is humid and hot, the soil is heavy and clayey, Fanjing has been the capital of spring and autumn for 200 years, attracting the entire southern residents to rush from all directions, and at the same time, the aborigines in various places are also increasing, which has to be said to be an outlier.
These numbers can be seen everywhere in the bookstore, so Su Huihui gradually understood another reason why southerners are looked down upon by northerners - "sitting in a well and watching the sky, not knowing self-humility". Yan Xugui explained to her bluntly the reason for the Grace Pharmacy during the interrogation: there are many people in Qi and they are not afraid of running out of money, and the land of the three sects and nine streams of Nandi Jing is suitable for doing business that benefits the people's livelihood. Other state capitals are still being estimated, but Fanjing will never lose money, and if the pharmacies set up in the previous dynasties can be practiced in accordance with the law, they will not fall to the point where it is difficult to guarantee food and clothing.
There were a total of 12 people in the pharmacy, and the contract stated that the director would take some doctors to take turns to make the finished medicines, and the high-cost medicinal materials that were bought into the crude drug warehouse at a low price flowed into the city in large quantities for a long time. The base of the people is large, forming a stable source of customers, gathering sand into a tower, gathering armpits into a fur, and it is often called the close of the realm.
The chief was the ambassador on the official paperwork, but everyone focused on the female deputy who lived in the pharmacy. Deputy Envoy Su is the only closed disciple of Qin Shenyi, and he has the blue eyes of the Rong clan of the Jingshi clan, so he must be able to do so and is a real deputy envoy.
The real deputy envoy and Dr. Chen were busy, chatted in the room for a while, and then thought about going to the street to have a good meal, and in the afternoon they went to Pingshadu on the outskirts of the city to relax.
Su Huihui originally wanted to take her to Yanwei Alley to eat noodles, but Chen Hua thought that she was injured in the alley, so he asked her to invite her. Su Huihui couldn't bear to refuse this empathetic idea, and rushed out of the pharmacy that had trapped her for ten days.
After dinner, the two hired a carriage and drove leisurely to the southern suburbs. From the white-walled dwellings of Daiwa all the way to the outside of the city gate, the blue sky and geese are lined up, and the people on the ground are like weaving, and there is a lively scene at the end.
Recently, the drizzle and warm sun have alternated, but I don't realize that autumn has arrived. At this time, the traces of the scenery are clear, and the wind flowers and weeping willows are all contaminated with the coolness of Zhongshang.
Located in a valley between two mountains, Pingshadu is said to have said goodbye to a confidant here 300 years ago. The people of the capital who are good to play are tired of seeing the canopy scenery, and they are always willing to call friends to go outside the city to enjoy the scenery, and it doesn't matter if the city gate is closed early, stay outside for one night, the sky is the curtain, the ground is the seat, where can I rush home.
Get off the bus and look around, a river of autumn colors soaked in the clear skylight, with a thick and light ink color. The river lingered at the foot of the mountain, and the light smoke swirled around several times, blooming soothingly on the field like petals. Looking far away, you can see the dense gray thatched huts, hidden behind a layer of stone blue.
The nearby hillside is full of woody flowers, and the rich fragrance seeps into the stream, drifting from the deep mountain to the stone pool at the foot. The chrysanthemums near the water are swaying, and many wandering girls take off flowers to decorate their hair buns and clothes, and the attendants walk to the car with flower baskets in their arms to add fragrance to the smoker.
Su Huihui didn't expect that there were quite a lot of people, this time was not early, and there were still people who went up the mountain to enjoy the laurels. Chen Hua was very interested and said to her:
"Actually, we are lucky today, you don't often go out, I don't know how congested the road in the capital is during the mid-month break, often something is wrong on the road, and the rear car can only move forward inch by inch next to the front wheels. There is no way, there are many nobles and merchants, and in the end, even people with a little family background have hired a carriage, and everyone who has been in the car does not want to run errands, but sometimes they walk faster than them. โ
Su Huihui asked, "The Kaiyang Street we walked on leads from the north of the city to the outside of the city, right? It's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the streets must be full of teams going out of the city to admire the moon. โ
Chen Hua said "oops", "I just want to take you to recognize this place first, and if you are free during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will come again." You see, these people came by stepping on the spot, and the rich family would mark the place chosen by the master, and that place would belong to him on the fifteenth night. โ
Su Hui warmed up and said: "The breeze and the bright moon should be suitable for me and my son, and ...... together."
"Don't look there, they've already decided. โ
She considered the location of the feng shui treasure in many ways, and regretted to find a low wooden pole inserted in the green grass, tied to a small yellow flag. The water at the ferry port is shallow, and the place where it is too high cannot see the beauty of the water, and the place where it is too low to raise your eyes to see the laurel tree. There was an ox-cart parked at the confluence of the stream and the pool, with its back to the hills, facing the wilderness, with a broad and dense canopy overhead, sprinkled with broken silver flowers.
She couldn't help but look at it twice, but Chen Hua suddenly smiled:
"You can go up and rub the seat, it's your acquaintance. โ
