Zhao Changqing's change is not obvious, but it is enough to surprise people.

At least, Xia Wen felt that Zhao Changqing was gradually happier.

He had never seen a girl like Zhao Changqing, strong and fragile, with a pair of sad eyes when she smiled. Xia Wen occasionally thinks when he is idle, I don't know who made Zhao Changqing hurt so much.

Zhu Zhuang?

No, how is that possible. Such a scoundrel person, doing something scoundrel, Zhao Changqing is just annoyed at best.

The third son of Liu who ruined her reputation?

It's even more impossible, such a squirrel, Zhao Changqing must feel redundant at a glance.

Maybe it's the fateful Young General Chu...... Xia Wen has been in the border city for a long time, and he has been a doctor in Zhao Changqing's pharmacy, and he has occasionally heard people say that Zhao Changqing once had an excellent family affair......

Zhao Changqing said, "Our Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony, Dr. Xia is the first-class, a pair of lamb hind legs, a pair of elbows, four horses, and four boxes of moon cakes. The second sister is second-class, one pair of elbows less, and the rest are the same. Liangdong, you are four horses of material and four boxes of moon cakes. The rest were paid an additional month's salary, two baskets of apples per person. ”

Xia Wen pulled back his thoughts and smiled, "Doctor Zhao is really too polite. ”

Zhao Liangdong said happily, "Sister Qing, the owner of the entire border city is no longer as generous as you. "Ordinary shops give a festival ceremony, and the shopkeeper and the steward with a head and face may have some things, but they are not so rich. What's more, even he has a share in the apprenticeship. The materials were taken from Ling's silk shop, not those inferior materials. As for the moon cakes, they are the best dim sum of Nanxiangyuan, even if they are taken out and walked around among relatives, they are also very decent.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's a big holiday, that's what it means, tomorrow is a day off, no need to go to work." "Except for the mooncakes, lamb legs, and elbows, which were bought from outside, the rest were all their own things, and they didn't actually cost a lot of money.

Zhao Changqing is generous, but with such things, except for Zhao Liangdong, who lives in the shop, Xia Wenling's second sister hired a carriage outside in the evening, and Fang brought Zhao Changqing's gift home.

Second Sister Ling was used to it, but when she went home, she listened to her mother nagging with a smile, "It's all your own people, Changqing just sent some things to the guys in the shop, what else do you want Changqing to do with these things." It shouldn't be collected. ”

Second Sister Ling smiled, "Look at what my mother said, am I not a guy in the shop?" I knew that her mother was happy to see things, but she just said a few polite words. If Zhao Changqing only gives to others and not to herself, her mother must have something else to say.

The mother and daughter said a few words of gossip, and Second Sister Ling packed two boxes of mooncakes and sent them to Mrs. Ling, and the two old men asked a lot about the pharmacy. Second Sister Ling said patiently.

Old Mrs. Ling said to her husband in private, "Changqing, this child, is becoming more and more capable. ”

Master Ling sighed, "Yes." ”

I have a lot of things on my mind, but I just don't resort to them.

It's the Xia family, who has just moved to the border city, not to mention that Mrs. Xia has always been a thrifty person, even if she doesn't make a big deal in the Mid-Autumn Festival, she doesn't want her eldest son to bring back these many things.

Mrs. Xia hurriedly asked, "Where did you get this?" "The eldest son is not a lavish spender of money.

Xia Wen said, "It's sent in the shop, my mother will look at it and use it." Together with the coachman, he moved the things to the kitchen, Mrs. Xia gave the car money, and the coachman took his leave.

Xia Yu had already run out to see the rarity, as cheerful as a bird in the woods, and asked, "Brother, is this from your pharmacy?" Brother, why do you send so many things! Even the material is available. Don't leave the ingredients in the kitchen, they all stink, so I'll take them to the house. As he spoke, he put the four horses in the hall and put them away.

Mrs. Xia looked at these many things in turn and smiled, "Doctor Zhao is really a generous person, you must know that if you send these, the family will not have to deal with it." ”

Xia Wen took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and gave it to his mother, "There is still a month's salary for saving expenses, mother, you can collect it for the family." ”

Mrs. Xia happily accepted it and asked, "Is there any pocket money that was given to you before?" When you go out to be a doctor, you are also a person with status, don't be deflated. ”

"Yes, I don't have any money." Xia Wen brought hot water from the stove and went out to wash his hands.

Mrs. Xia said, "We can't eat so much, two days ago, Mrs. Ji sent someone to deliver two packs of moon cakes, I will use the basket to fill some fruits, you take them to Agen's house." Although his family does not lack this, the New Year is our family's intention. ”

Xia Wen responded, rested at home for a while, and then went to the former neighbor Ji's house.

Ji Rangzheng was at home, and he was very happy to see Xia Wen, and joked with a smile, "Why are you a doctor free now?" ”

Xia Wen smiled, "Tomorrow is the holiday, my mother asked me to bring some fruits over, keep them and eat them." ”

Youyahuan stepped forward to pick it up, and Ji Rang asked Xia Wen to sit down and said, "Knowing your old man's temper, Sister Fu and her mother just gave two packs of moon cakes, so you will return the gift immediately?" ”

"Do I still have a special gift for your family? It was Dr. Zhao in the pharmacy who gave out a lot of things, and there were two large baskets of apples. Xia Wen took the tea held by Yahuan and took a sip with a smile, "Thanks to Arnold for helping me introduce this messenger, Dr. Zhao is really a generous person." ”

Ji Rang nodded and said, "Mrs. Zhao has nothing to say, she has compassion. By the way, the surname you said last time was Zhu, what was your name, what's going on with that person? ”

"Zhu Zhuang?"

"Yes, it's the name, didn't you trouble Dr. Zhao."

"What can I do, Doctor Zhao took them back to the Zhu family and reasoned about it. That Zhu Zhuang was very embarrassed, he hooked up with his uncle's cousin, the two had already had a relationship, and when he heard that the family told him to marry Dr. Zhao, he was anxious, and came to the shop to talk nonsense, which was very hateful. Xia Wen said, "Two days ago, Dr. Zhao went to Zhu's house for a few more days, and I don't know what happened?" I only came back yesterday, and I seem to be a little happier to see her, but it is reassuring. ”

Ji Rang listened to it funny and said, "Look at what you said, who is not at ease with a person as safe and thoughtful as Dr. Zhao?" Her fairy beauty pill, Sister Fu and her mother also bought it to eat, a pill is ten taels of silver, which is more expensive than gold. Dr. Zhao has made a lot of money. ”

Xia Wenzheng said, "This is Dr. Zhao's own ability, and it is also her talent, and envy cannot be envied." Suddenly, he sighed and said, "You don't know, Dr. Zhao is good at acting well, she is a better person, but for some reason, I see that there is always a lot of sadness and pathos in her eyes, sometimes even if she smiles, she doesn't see joy, isn't it worrying?" Sometimes I want to persuade her, but I think she has always been calm, and I don't want to speak rashly, and I don't know where to speak. ”

Ji Rang sighed slightly, "It's okay if you don't know what's going on in your daughter's family." ”

Xia Wen smiled, "It's as if you let my brother know." ”

Ji Rang said, "You are sitting in Dr. Zhao's medicine hall, and you are not deaf and blind, haven't you heard about the Chu family?" "When he traveled in the border city, although he had never met Zhao Changqing, he still had some friendship with Chu Yu. The matter between Chu Yu and Zhao Changqing was still jokingly told by Li Rui that he listened to it at that time. At that time, Zhao Changqing was still a cute and cute little girl, and in the blink of an eye, the Chu family disappeared, and Zhao Changqing may not have forgotten Chu Yu.

Hearing Ji Rang mention the Chu family, Xia Wen sighed, "After all, the matter has come to this point, Doctor Zhao should also want to open some and cherish himself more." ”

Ji Rang smiled, "People who are affectionate and righteous are naturally affectionate and righteous to everyone." When you came to my house for a big holiday, I didn't ask me if I was good or bad when I saw me, but 'Dr. Zhao is long, Dr. Zhao is short' and said for a long time, what's the matter, you have taken a fancy to him? ”

Xia Wen's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Rang's words are ridiculous, not to mention that Dr. Zhao has a life-saving grace for me, even if I sit in the medicine hall, I mostly rely on Dr. Zhao to take care of me." Besides, Dr. Zhao is the most polite and kind-hearted person, how can we gossip about her behind her back, isn't this blaspheming her? ”

Ji Rang smiled idly, "It's not me who said it, it's all what you said." ”

Xia Wen had no choice but to stop talking about Doctor Zhao and talk to Ji Rang about something else. I don't mention the dinner at Ji's house in the evening.

When he went to the medicine hall on August 16, Xia Wen brought a jar of pickles pickled by his wife to Zhao Changqing, and said with a smile, "Doctor Zhao took it back and tasted it, this is the pickles we pickled by the Shu people, which are not quite the same as the taste of the border city, if Doctor Zhao likes it, just tell me in the future." "Of course, Second Sister Ling and Zhao Liangdong have a share.

Zhao Changqing thanked him, "I heard that the pickles in Qingcheng Mountain taste the best." She remembered that Xia Wen was from Qingcheng County, near Chengdu Mansion in Shuzhong.

Xia Wen smiled, "My family was originally at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, when I was in my hometown, there was a bumper harvest of melons and fruits in summer, and I couldn't finish eating, so everyone must pickle pickles." In winter, it is served with white porridge and hu cakes in the morning, which is very refreshing. ”

"The scenery on Qingcheng Mountain must be very good."

"Not only is the scenery good, but there are also a lot of medicinal herbs on the mountain. There are Taoist temples, Taoist palaces, blessed land caves where the gods soar, and other courtyards built by wealthy people, Qingcheng Mountain is a famous mountain. Xia Wen talked about his hometown, and while sorting out the medical case he was sitting in, he picked up the boiling kettle on the stove and made a pot of tea, and poured one for himself and Zhao Changqing after a while.

Zhao Changqing thanked Fang and accepted.

Zhao Changqing went home and tasted the pickles sent by Xia Wen, and it did taste good.

Zhao Changqing gave Xia Wen a salary increase, and began to gradually reduce the time to go to the medicine hall for consultation, not to go, but occasionally she would take some time to go to the old lady's courtyard to play. The old lady's courtyard is mentioned, it is more appropriate to call it a style, and it is more appropriate to call it a manor.

The eaves attic is hidden in the greenery, the manor is located in the valley, there are few rockeries, there is a clear stream flowing from the manor, there are a few deer drinking water on the side of the stream, seeing that some people only look up, they continue to drink water, ignore it. Zhao Changqing exclaimed, "It's really a fairy land." ”

There were still a few horses walking in the distance, and Zhao Changqing rode on the horses and asked, "Master, are these horses also riding?" ”

"Of course it's riding. It's not good for the horse to be locked in the stable, anyway, the place is big, and it has to be put every day. Mrs. Zhu smiled, "How about I give it to you if you pick a horse in a while?" ”

Zhao Changqing said with a smile, "The elder gives, how dare you resign?" ”

Mrs. Zhu laughed and continued to take Zhao Changqing to visit his manor, "I have a few sets of yards here, except for the one where I live, just say which one you see, you can live casually." ”

Zhao Changqing pointed to a row of four or five quaint wooden houses in Linxi, "I want to live here." ”

Mrs. Zhu said, "I'll tell you first, there will be better ones later." ”

"Stay here for a few days first, anyway, the master said that I can live anywhere, there is a better one, and I can move." Zhao Changqing leaned slightly to the side and said to Mrs. Zhu with a smile, "I like this stream, and there are deer to drink." ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "This feels good, it's really an unseen dirt bun, and he looks good in vain." ”

Zhao Changqing is not a shy person, and said, "If you live well, you will not be blind anywhere." Although I am dirty, if I don't look beautiful, how can I get the blue eyes of the grandfather? ”

The two of them talked and laughed and rode around the manor, and it took an hour for them to go, Zhao Changqing said, "In the future, when I get old, I will live like my grandfather." ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled proudly, touched the two mustaches on his lips, and spared no effort to hit the juniors, "You are still far away." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "We'll see." ”

A girl brought water, both of them freshened up, Zhao Changqing took a little flower water on his face, and put on a little makeup in the mirror. Mrs. Zhu said, "The hair is not well combed, and the clothes are even worse." ”

Zhao Changqing changed into a man's outfit for the convenience of riding a horse, and his hair was naturally simply combed into a man's bun. Zhao Changqing was also not happy to hear Mrs. Zhu say that she was ugly, and said, "I will look good when I change my skirt tomorrow." ”

"Your clothes are not very good-looking, wait for me to call Runiang to teach you how to dress up. I'll make you a few new clothes, and you'll know what it means to look good. "Mrs. Zhu himself is a big stinky beauty, and he likes Zhao Changqing, so he really wants to dress up Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing was not as polite as Mrs. Zhu when she rewarded her with things, and asked, "What clothes?" You'll have to show me first. ”

"Naturally, I want you to see it, and when you see it, you will know what is beautiful and what is ugly."

"Even if I don't know how to dress up at first, I can't say I'm ugly, right?" As a woman, Zhao Changqing naturally pays attention to her appearance.

"Not ugly, not ugly, a little beauty." Mrs. Zhu smiled and said perfunctory.

Zhao Changqing is really comfortable in Mrs. Zhu's manor, Mrs. Zhu doesn't need anyone to settle the province in the morning and dusk, what Zhao Changqing wants to do, Mrs. Zhu will follow her. If Mrs. Zhu is interested, the two will play together. If Mrs. Zhu is not interested, he will go with Zhao Changqing himself. For example, watching the deer drink water, bathing the little milk dog and the like, Mrs. Zhu did not despise Zhao Changqing, and felt that Zhao Changqing had no knowledge, so he did all these dirty things.

Zhao Changqing basically ignored Mrs. Zhu's contempt, and did whatever he had to do. After staying for seven days, Zhao Changqing said goodbye and went home.

Zhao Changqing said vigorously, "Master, you have to ask someone to take care of my little red horse, let it go out for a run every day, and don't always lock it in the stable." And my dog, who has to be bathed every day, don't get fleas. There are also clothes that are being made, I told Ru Niang, don't send them to me when they are ready, I will come next month. ”

"You're so beautiful, I'll give it to you, you have such a big face?"

"Even if you don't, the master doesn't have to say it, let me secretly feel beautiful in my heart." Zhao Changqing smiled, "Master, then I'll go." ”

"Well, go ahead."

Zhao Changqing also brought two jars of wine home from Mrs. Zhu's manor, and when he returned to the city, it was already dark, and Zhao Changqing ordered someone to go to the pharmacy first. Xia Wen was stunned when he saw Zhao Changqing, and Fang smiled, "Doctor Zhao is back." ”

A few patients who recognized Zhao Changqing also greeted Zhao Changqing one after another, Zhao Changqing smiled, "I haven't gone home yet, come over and have a look first, is the shop okay?" ”

Xia Wen smiled, "It's all good, it's Boss Lin who came to you once." ”

Zhao Changqing nodded, "Then I'll go to Sister Lin to take a look, you're busy, I'll come over tomorrow if there's nothing to do." ”

"Okay." Xia Wen really wanted to say something else, but when he saw Zhao Changqing dressed like a daughter, he didn't know what to say, so he had to watch Zhao Changqing leave the pharmacy briskly.

Zhao Changqing went to the Lin family's shop again, and Boss Lin was in the shop, and when he saw Zhao Changqing, he smiled, "I went to the deep mountains and old forests to cultivate into a village aunt and came back." ”

There was no one else in the shop, Zhao Changqing turned around, and said stinkyly, "I went to my great-grandfather's courtyard, it was very beautiful, I lived in a wooden house, there was a stream in front of it, the water in the stream was sweet, and there were deer to drink water every day." This garment is made in another courtyard, is it beautiful? My jewelry is also matched with my clothes. "Zhao Changqing is not the type of Boss Lin who is captivating and stunning, she is a serious goose egg face, apricot eyes, red lips and a high nose bridge, and she is also a little beauty. Now she didn't wear her hair in a complicated bun, but she braided a thick braid hanging down the back of her head, and her jewelry was only a string of tassel-shaped rubies that adorned her forehead, and the middle one was the size of a small fingernail, droplet-shaped, and very beautiful.

Boss Lin poured her a cup of tea and smiled, "Now you are becoming more and more stinky and beautiful." ”

"With Sister Lin, if you are disgraced all day long, you will lose face for Sister Lin." Zhao Changqing took the tea and asked with a smile, "I heard Dr. Xia say that my sister has looked for me, but is there something?" ”

"That's right, Shopkeeper Li wants to partner with us in the rouge business, he talked to me once, and I thought about discussing it with you first."

"Shopkeeper Li's eyesight, you can't accept it." Zhao Changqing took a sip of tea, "As soon as our rouge shop started to make a profit, he came to the door." Why didn't he come to the door when he lost money in the first place. "The high-end route is not easy to walk, although the fairy Yangrong pill sells well, the competition of rouge gouache is extraordinarily large, the first few months are all losses, and the silver earned by the fairy Yangrong pill is used to subsidize rouge gouache, and now that he has just gained a foothold, the shopkeeper Li is about to insert a lever.

Boss Lin smiled, "His business is big, and we can only make a small fuss in the border city, which is not as good as his." Besides, I don't know his character, and I heard that my sister's seasoning powder is working with him, so I must know him better than I do. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Shopkeeper Li is not bad. It's just that we have opened up the situation in the border city, and we can't make him as cheap as when we made seasoning powder first. ”

Boss Lin smiled, "Since my sister is also interested, then I will send someone to talk to him, when will we talk about this matter together." ”

"I listen to Sister Lin."

Zhao Changqing discussed the cooperation with Shopkeeper Li for a long time at Boss Lin's place, and when he went home, it was already full of sunset. Just in time for Zhao Yong to ride home, Zhao Changqing stood at the door and shouted, "Daddy, you're back." ”

Zhao Yong glanced at the joy and closeness in his daughter's eyes, for some reason, his heart suddenly soured, and there was an indescribable choking and sourness in his throat, he lowered his head and dismounted, Zhao Yong had already sorted out his feelings, and said with a smile, "Yes, you just came back from the master?" ”

"I'll go back to the city in the evening, and I'll go to the shop first." Zhao Changqing went to grab his father's arm, and the father and daughter entered the house together.

Seeing the father and daughter coming back together, Ling smiled, "Why did you come across one place?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I met my father at the door." ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "How is the master?" ”

"Very good, very interesting, I told my grandfather, I will go next month."

Ling smiled, "You're really welcome." ”

Zhao Yong said, "It's not an outside place, just go if you want to." My grandfather likes you, so it doesn't hurt to stay longer. ”

Ling smiled, "You go to the old lady's house first to say goodbye, the old lady is worried about you." After a while, your father changed his clothes, and we went over too, and we had dinner together in the evening. ”

Zhao Changqing took Yongfu back to his house.

Ling's served her husband to change into a hundred official uniforms, while nagging, "That girl doesn't know how many good things she has gotten from the master, looking at what she wears on her head, they are all fresh jewelry." I have to tell her a few words when I have time, but I can't always accept things from my elders so politely......" Ling hadn't finished nagging, seeing that her husband's eyes were slightly wet, she couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Yong waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm happy, I haven't seen Changqing so happy for a long time." "It's been a long time since I've seen my daughter so happy. As a mediocre father, he can only watch the pearl of his palm suffer all the grievances, but he can't do anything, what kind of pain and suffering is this. Now, he can still see his daughter's happy face again, how can Zhao Yong not be happy.

It's really, it's been a long time since I've seen my daughter so happy.
