Chapter 171
Xia Wen suddenly took Zhao Changqing home and kept the Xia family busy for a while.
Mrs. Xia blamed her eldest son, "Ah Wen didn't tell me earlier, I prepared a few more dishes." β
Xia Wen smiled, "Mother, you don't have to be busy, Dr. Zhao has the most simple temperament, she doesn't like extravagance, if it is our family's big fish and big meat, she will never come again." β
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Doctor Xia suddenly invited me, and I didn't have time to bring some gifts." When my aunt saw me come to the door empty-handed, she knew that I was the most real. We border city people are straightforward, aunt don't have to bother, because of Dr. Xia's excellent medical skills, my medicine hall relies on him more, I heard that you have been coming to the border city for more than a year, I have never come to visit, and please don't be surprised. β
Mrs. Xia hurriedly said, "How dare you." Avendo is counting on you. β
Xia Yu brought the tea and smiled, "Sister Zhao, you drink tea." Seeing her mother rubbing her hands nervously, Xia Yu giggled, "Mother, you take it easy, Sister Zhao is the best." "Last year, Laba, the medicine hall gave Laba porridge outside, because of the need to cook porridge, there was a shortage of manpower, Xia Wen called Xia Yu to help, so Xia Yu knew Zhao Changqing.
Mrs. Xia's face turned red and said angrily, "You girl." He also said, "If the family has coarse tea and light rice, Ah Wen will sit with Dr. Zhao first, and I will add two more dishes." β
Xia Wen smiled, "Mother, you can eat whatever you have at home, Doctor Zhao doesn't pick it." Just do it, and also make some of the dishes we eat in Shuzhong, Dr. Zhao may not have tasted it. Don't be too greasy at night, it's not good for your body. β
Mrs. Xia took Xia Yu out to get busy.
Master Xia, who was very polite, said to Zhao Changqing, "I have heard Arwen say before that Dr. Zhao opened a medicine hall to practice medicine, and the Bodhisattva has a heart, and I have also heard of Dr. Zhao's good deeds of giving porridge and rice, which is really admirable." My son can only study, and his personal feelings are far behind, so Dr. Zhao will guide him more. β
Zhao Changqing smiled, "My medicine hall is thanks to the power of Doctor Xia. Rest assured, old man, your own son, you must know best. β
Master Xia stroked his beard, "If you don't succeed, you still need to practice." β
Xia Wenxin said that Dr. Zhao doesn't talk much on weekdays, and he can get to the point in every sentence, and he can make his father happy in two sentences, which is really smart and dexterous. Xia Wendao, "Dad, Dr. Zhao came here for the first time, and I took Dr. Zhao to take a look in the courtyard." Although there is no good scenery, there is also a bit of wild fun. The latter sentence is obviously the same as Zhao Changqing.
Master Xia smiled, "It's okay." β
Xia Wen took Zhao Changqing to see his yard, Xia Wen smiled, "The entrance is the courtyard of the second entrance, in fact, there is a large piece of land behind, and vegetables were planted in the spring, and now they have grown a little." β
The area of the backyard is quite large, in addition to more than a dozen fruit trees, there is also a large piece of land that has been opened out to make a vegetable garden, Zhao Changqing smiled, "These fruit trees are the best, and you don't have to worry about the fruits to eat in the summer." Are spring flowers newly transplanted? "Along the root of the wall, the yellow spring flowers are quite splendid.
Xia Wen was a little surprised and smiled, "Could it be that Dr. Zhao has been here before?" "The fruit trees were there early in the morning, and the spring flowers were moved after they moved in.
Zhao Changqing smiled, "This courtyard was originally lived by Zheng Yushi's family, and not long after his family lived, Zheng Yushi was promoted to the prefect of Gansu and went to Gansu. Later, it was empty, and the owner of the yard sold the yard because he didn't have any money. His courtyard is a three-entry place, and only two entrances have been built, and the row of houses behind him really has no money to build, so it has become an empty space. Later, one of my clansmen bought this yard, which is pears, and you know him. "There is one reason why Zhao Lizi will buy this house, he thinks that this house has good feng shui. Without him, Zheng Yushi was promoted from the seventh grade to the fourth grade within a few days. Regarding Zhao Lizi's point of view, Zhao Changqing was noncommittal, but the house was indeed bought by Zhao Lizi. According to Zhao Lizi's shrewdness, he would not leave the house empty, so he rented it out. This is also a coincidence, it is the Xia Wen family who rents the house.
"It's no wonder." Xia Wen smiled, "The backyard is big, and there are fruit trees and vegetable gardens, and I feel that the scenery is still a little worse, so I moved these spring flowers over." As soon as the flowers bloom in spring, the yellow color is bright. There are also apricot trees, peach trees, pear trees, and plum trees in the garden, and the buds have grown, and they all bloom in a few days, and the scenery is really good. β
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Yes." β
Xia Yu came to the vegetable garden to pluck the green onions, Zhao Changqing smiled, "If the green onions are fragrant, you don't need to pull the whole tree, just pinch the leaves, and the roots under it can continue to grow." β
Xia Yu was only a teenager, very naΓ―ve and childish, stuck out the tip of his tongue, and said happily, "It's thanks to Sister Zhao that I reminded me, or my mother has to talk about me again, my mother has said me several times, and I always forget it." He neatly pinched a handful of green leaves, said hello and ran to the kitchen.
Xia Wen smiled, "It's always frizzy." β
"How cute." Not everyone has such an innocent and happy childhood.
Mrs. Xia prepared five dishes and one soup, and she had to give Zhao Changqing to the main position, Zhao Changqing smiled, "In terms of age and seniority, it will never be my turn to sit anymore." If my aunt wants to be so polite, I won't dare to come in the future. β
Xia Wen said, "Father sits on the throne. Zhao Changqing sat in the second place and smiled, "It's just some home-cooked food, but the method is not quite the same as the border city, and the taste is not the same, you can taste it." β
Xia Wen is quite attentive, but he is not overly enthusiastic and very measured. Everyone said some interesting things about the pharmacy or the customs of the border city, after eating, after drinking tea, it was late, Zhao Changqing got up and said goodbye.
Mrs. Xia smiled, "It's late, so it's not good to keep you more." When you are free, just come over and I will make a few more authentic Shu dishes for you to eat, even if you haven't eaten them. β
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Okay, I'll thank my aunt first." Aunt doesn't need to send it, I'll just go by myself. β
"How can this be done, it's a little late, ask Arwen to send you back, and you may not be able to call a car outside this night." Mrs. Xia was very worried that Zhao Changqing was walking at night with a girl.
Xia Wu had already brought the lantern and handed it to his brother silently.
Xia Yu hugged a half-worn gray squirrel small hair cloak and smiled, "It's cold at night, this is my mother's clothes, Sister Zhao is wearing it, otherwise the cold wind will be angry, and it will be bad to catch a cold." β
Zhao Changqing thanked him and accepted.
Xia Wen also wore a coat and carried a lantern to send Zhao Changqing home, and couldn't help but talk about his own family affairs, "When I first came to the border city, I was very wolf, if it wasn't for Agen to help me all the way, I'm afraid the family would have to say whether they could go to the border city." Now that her mother is in charge of housework, Ayu will also learn to help, and Awu and her father help copy books in the bookstore, and they can also earn money for the family in January. Since I went to the pharmacy for a consultation, my family has a much more comfortable life. The dress you wore was made by my mother in the old days, and at first glance, it felt like a world away. β
Zhao Changqing said softly, "Bitterness comes naturally." β
"Sometimes I think about it, it's not necessarily a bad thing to suffer. One of my grandparents was an elder of the imperial physician, and I often went to him when I was young, and I learned from him how to heal him. After he passed away, I couldn't let go of these crafts. At that time, I felt that I was very unfortunate after taking the exam, and I was praised so that I didn't know what was going on, and I thought I was a peerless genius when I sat in the well. Ah Wu is a cockfighting lackey playing on the street, and Ayu tosses his clothes and jewelry every day, and he is not good at a young age. My father had a concubine room at the beginning, and my mother was always unhappy about this, and the family was full of chickens and dogs. Xia Wen's voice was gentle, "Suddenly, a big disaster came, first my father's concubine swept away the family's money and the little servant. Now I see that my mother works hard every day, and she has more smiles on her face than when she was rich, and her younger siblings are also very sensible. So, I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate. β
Zhao Changqing didn't speak, Xia Wen smiled, "Only when I came out did I know that the world is vast." Although the money is not abundant now, life is never happy again. β
Zhao Changqing smiled, "That's a shame that I don't recognize you before, I heard that talented people all look at people with their nostrils, is it true?" β
Xia Wen laughed, "You don't laugh at me." I heard Arnold say that Ah Bai's literary brilliance is extraordinary, and there will be something to be gained in this autumn. He is young, and this is a well-deserved young talent. β
Zhao Changqing said, "You can be admitted to show talent when you are young, and you are already extraordinary." What's more, Ah Bai doesn't have your medical skills. β
Xia Wen was just about to say something, but Zhao Changqing pulled him violently, "Be careful!" How to walk up the pillar with a good end. β
Xia Wen himself was taken aback and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to praise you, I didn't pay attention to it for a while." "Busy carrying lanterns to light the way," this section is not easy to walk. β
Zhao Changqing smiled, "All your spiritual energy has been used in medical skills." "It's not the first time Xia Wen has hit a pillar, when he came back to the pharmacy for a consultation, he encountered a tree planted on the road, a big pit one meter deep, and those with long eyes could see it, but Xia Wen couldn't see it, so he walked directly to the pit, fell into a dusty face, and went to the medicine hall to bandage. Even the door of the medicine hall has been bumped into him a few times. With this kind of balance, he dared to go to the mountains to collect medicine, which is really commendable.
Xia Wen's face was a little unbearable, and he said, "How old are you, don't always talk in an old-fashioned manner." In terms of age, I'm still three years older than you, and you can call me brother. β
"The goosebumps are coming out." Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'm home." β
Xia Wen said "ah", "I didn't even pay attention." β
I don't know what I'm paying attention to when this kind of person is still giving it away. Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'm sorry for you today, come in and have a cup of tea." β
"It's so late, it's like drinking tea when I have time in the future." Xia Wen said, "You go in, I'll go back." β
It was late, and Zhao Changqing didn't bother Xia Wen, knocked on the door, and smiled, "Be careful on the road, pay attention to the road." β
"I know." Xia Wen watched Zhao Changqing enter the courtyard gate, and Fang turned around and walked back.
Xia Wen went home and complained, and Mrs. Xia said to him directly, "Invite Dr. Zhao to come to the house for dinner, you should also say hello to me in advance, how rude it is today." β
Xia Wendao, "What's rude, just have a meal, Dr. Zhao knows what our family is like, and he won't dislike our family." "Didn't he have time to say hello?
Mrs. Xia said stubbornly, "Then you should also tell me first." β
Xia Yu snickered, "Brother, you can at least say it, and let our mother have time to change into bright clothes." β
Mrs. Xia patted her daughter, "What are you doing when you don't go to sleep yet?" β
"I'm waiting for my eldest brother to come back and want to talk to my eldest brother." Xia Yu poured a cup of water for Xia Wen and asked, "Big brother, where are my mother's clothes?" β
"Dr. Zhao is still wearing it."
Xia Yu smiled and asked, "Did Sister Zhao say that the dishes at night were delicious?" β
"Yes, I praise you for being sensible."
Xia Yu said happily, "Sister Zhao just has vision. β
Xia Wen was speechless, it turned out that he praised you for a few words, but he didn't know that I made it up.
At night, the children went to sleep, and Mrs. Xia and her husband also went to bed, and Mr. Xia asked, "Is your waist better?" β
"Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." Mrs. Xia still took care of her waist, and quietly said to her husband, "What do you think of Dr. Zhao?" β
"How's that? Nature is good. "My son is now eating with someone's bowl. What's more, Zhao Changqing is indeed not bad, and he often gives porridge and rice to do some good deeds, and he is a kind-hearted person. When I came to the house today, I behaved and talked very well.
Mrs. Xia whispered, "You see if our son is interested in Dr. Zhao." β
Master Xia was silent for a moment, "Even in the past, I was just a county school instructor, and I couldn't compare to the six-rank military attache of Dr. Zhao's family, let alone now." β
Mrs. Xia lay on her side, "After a few years, your matter will fade, let's borrow some silver from our hometown and atone for this crime." The days go by slowly, as long as the family works together, there are no bad days. Although our family is not as good as Dr. Zhao's family, it is also a serious scholarly family, I heard that Dr. Zhao's family is a military household, I don't know if it's true? β
Master Xia sighed, "What do you know, can a six-rank military attache be the same as an ordinary military household?" Dr. Zhao's family is a serious martial arts family, how can it be compared to ordinary unofficial and unemployed military households? β
"I see that my son is really interested in Dr. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything, she looks good and has a good temperament. It's just that I met such a good girl when I caught up with our family and memorized words. Mrs. Xia was extremely sorry, and talked about her son's family affairs, "Seeing that he is getting older, he can't delay any longer, or he will find a family affair for Ah Wen in the border city." He is also a doctor now, and his salary of six taels of silver a month does not dare to compare with a lady like Dr. Zhao, a girl from an ordinary small family, our son is not unworthy. β
Master Xia said, "Let's take a look, it's not a hurry." β
The husband and wife recited the children's scriptures and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xia Wen cut a few budding apricot blossoms and found a coarse porcelain white bottle. Xia Yu said to him, "Brother, you are in the pharmacy all day long, and no one in your house will look at this flower." β
"I'll take the medicine hall with me. The medicine hall was full of patients, putting a vase of flowers on the table, looking in a good mood. β
Xia Wen is very elegant, but on the way to the medicine hall with the vase, he somehow stepped on a small stone under his feet, and the person fell into the mud, not to mention the mud, and the vase was broken. Xia Wen got up from the ground, pulled the broken porcelain to the side of the road with his feet, dusted off the soil on his body, picked up the apricot blossoms that fell to the ground, and limped to the medicine hall. It happened that Zhao Changqing went early, and Zhao Changqing saw Xia Wenwolf's appearance, and he felt deeply embarrassed. Zhao Changqing had long been accustomed to Xia Wen's wrestling skills, and asked, "Did you fall on the road again?" β
Xia Wen handed the flower to Zhao Changqing, "I saw that the apricot blossoms were about to bloom, so I cut a bottle and brought it, and dropped the bottle on the way." The flowers are also stained with soil, and it is a pity to throw them away. You put it first, flush it with well water for a while, and then find a vase and plug it in, and raise it with water, and it can bloom for several days. β
Zhao Changqing looked at Xia Wen with pity, "Hurry up and call Liangdong to go to the inner room to see the injury, I'll just pick up the flowers." β
Xia Wen felt that Zhao Changqing's eyes were similar to those of an unlucky person, and he was depressed in his heart.
In view of Xia Wen's ability to wrestle on the ground, Zhao Changqing quietly gave Xia Wen the nickname "Xia Lao Wrestling" in his heart.
