Chapter Seventy-Six: Return to the Capital Again
Qin Zhihong said to Master Xu: "Uncle Xu, I still have a big matter to discuss with you and Wende this time. β
When Old Man Xu heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Young Master, if you have anything to do directly, what else can you discuss with us?" β
Qin Zhihong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This matter has to be discussed with you, it's just that you keep Brother Wende aside, and I can't get to the point for a while." β
Xu Wende's wife is also a country woman, but she is extremely virtuous, in fact, when she saw her husband teaching her son, although it was reasonable, she didn't dare to interject, but she was also distressed, and when she saw Qin Zhihong say this, she also persuaded her husband:
"Old man, you too, teach Wende a lesson in front of the young master, what will you do with their two children in the future? Besides, the young master has something to discuss with the two of you, it's good for you to always make trouble here......" Saying that, Mrs. Xu said to her son:
"Wende, hurry up and listen to the young master."
When the Xu father and son sat back down, Qin Zhihong said: "Uncle Xu, Wende, this time I am out of the world, although I have no big chance and almost died, but I have gained a lot. Our Qin family has practiced medicine for generations, so I want to open a medical clinic in Hedong Village, I have a prescription called 'Seven Spirits Flower Scatter', which specializes in treating all kinds of external injuries and has miraculous effects, I want to take it out and make it into medicine, I think within a year and a half, the situation of our two families will improve. You also know that except for me, our family is now all female dependents, and it is okay to help usually, but you can't show up, so that's why you are here to help. β
When the Xu father and son heard this, they were all overjoyed, and before the old man Xu could speak, Xu Wende immediately jumped to try and said: "Brother Zhihong, I think this is accurate, although the Zhang family is a pharmacist, but it is not Lang Zhong who practices medicine, you are the true inheritance of the Qin family's medical skills, and you must not be wrong." β
When Qin Zhihong heard this, he was also very excited, so he said: "Then this matter is decided, since this is the case, I will do as I say, first pay back the money owed to the Zhang family, and then let's talk about opening a medical center." β
But Old Man Xu insisted on refusing, saying that it was necessary to use money to open a medical clinic now, but Qin Zhihong had to repay the money before he could talk about it again, and Xu's father and son had no choice but to accept the money, and then took the IOU to settle the debt.
The next day, Xu Wende found Qin Zhihong and said that the debt had been replaced, and there were twenty taels of silver left.
When he got home, Xu Shaoqing said that he was going to GT to find Master Yang, and his mother also heard her son talk about her relationship with the Yang family, and she was very surprised, but she was also very surprised, but she didn't expect that Master Yang was willing to marry his two daughters to his son, and I didn't know if it was his Qin family ancestor who had accumulated great virtue, or Qin Zhihong's peach blossom luck was good. However, when he heard that Qin Zhihong's cousin Zhu Fengming was executed for Yihequan, he was also embarrassed. But for Qin Zhihong, the past is over, and the days have to go on, so he said goodbye to his mother and embarked on the journey to GT.
This time, Qin Zhihong acted alone, and he would not practice medicine on the road in order to survive, so he arrived at the village of GT Master Yang in a few days. After Master Yang saw it, he was very happy, and when asked about the marriage of the two families, Qin Zhihong said that his mother had no objection, and everyone was happy.
Master Yang knew that the Qin family had fallen because of the famine in CQ County, and even Qin Zhihong's father had died on the journey, and Qin Zhihong's encounter this time was also because of the end of the world, and he had no son, Ziyi and Lian'er were the only ones he cared about. Originally, Qin Zhihong didn't plan to marry his two fiancΓ©es in a hurry this time, but Old Man Yang couldn't wait, he had to ask Qin Zhihong to let his daughter pass through the door first, and the dowry was naturally given to him by Old Man Yang.
Qin Zhihong originally wanted to spread the medicine first, but he didn't expect that this old admiral, who had been a soldier, would make a surprise move and make a quick decision, and he had no choice but to take the two ladies back to Hedong Village first.
Originally, Qin Zhihong's mother lived in the courtyard built by the Xu family, but this time the new daughter-in-law came at once, and Qin's mother also had a way, so she immediately moved to the Xu family and gave her son the small courtyard as a wedding room.
The Xu family naturally helped Zhang Luo, the newlywed Yan'er, although the conditions were simple, but the two families were happy, and the days were very enjoyable.
However, after Qin Zhihong took over the two wives, the Yang family's dowry silver duo gave him capital, so he immediately invited a mason to build a new house, and deliberately built the east wing of the house into a shop for him to open a hospital in the future. In less than half a year, the new house was completed and the whole family moved in, needless to say.
But after a busy year, this time Qin Zhihong can really consider opening his own medical hall and making the matter of the Seven Spirits scattered.
As for the Seven Spirits Scatter, except for Lian'er who followed him to know the details at the time, Qin Zhihonghong didn't even tell his mother and Ziyi about the origin of the Seven Spirits Scatter. Qin Zhihong naturally knew the preparation method of the recipe, and in order to prevent leakage, he hid the original book in a secret place.
As for the layout of Hedong Village, it is naturally the same as when I told Qin Xiao's experience above, Qin Zhihong opened a medical hall in the east wing of this new courtyard, on weekdays, Lian'er would have already started, so she has been coming to help, Ziyi is just helping with housework and taking care of her mother-in-law, Qin Zhihong suddenly felt that the two wives were really convenient. And Xu Wende, as the second shopkeeper, followed Qin Zhihong, although the business was not much at the beginning, but after all, the effect of the Seven Spirits Flower Scatter was wonderful, and in less than half a year, it was already well-known, and it was even in short supply.
Originally, Qin Zhihong planned to teach Xu Wende and let him also help with the preparation, but Xu Wende was illiterate, and the theory of Chinese medicine was even more of a mess, let alone to prepare such a risky Seven Spirit Flower, so Qin Zhihong also dispelled this idea.
Within a few years, Lian'er and Ziyi became pregnant one after another, and gave birth to a son respectively, although Ziyi was a few months older than Lian'er, but the son of the two was Lian'er's longer months, Qin Zhihong gave their names, the big one was called Qin Ruiming, and the small one was called Qin Ruizhe. Qin's mother became a grandmother, naturally overjoyed, thinking that she had gone through so many ups and downs with the Qin family, and finally had a settlement, she couldn't help but feel very down-to-earth.
Mr. Yang heard that the two daughters each gave birth to a son, and he was also very happy, and in the past few years, he saw very little of his daughter, and the husband and wife were very concerned.
Lian'er and Ziyi were naturally very happy this time, but the happiest one was Qin Zhihong. Because he usually admires his father-in-law very much, and there is no other man in the family except for his mother and two wives, although Xu Wende can be his companion, but since Xu Wende got married, there are also many inconveniences. Since Mr. Yang this time, the two have been fighting fiercely every day, making his two daughters look straight at Mr. Yang, thinking to himself, whether this husband is looking for his daughters or is he Mr. Yang looking for himself, and now it has become a day when the two daughters only cook a few small dishes, and a pot of wine serves their father and husband to drink and talk happily.
The operation of the medical hall has been good, but due to the incomplete procurement of medicinal materials in the SD territory, Qin Zhihong plans to go to other places to purchase, and he wants to come to Jiangnan, HB or Beijing, but since the Qin family moved to the north during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Qin Zhihong has not been to Jiangnan, and he suddenly thought of Boss Wang in the capital, so he decided to go to the capital to purchase.
At this time, it was already the thirty-first year of Guangxu, that is, in 1905, as soon as spring began, Qin Zhihong embarked on the road to the capital. Originally, Lian'er was going to follow, but Qin Zhihong felt that he had been able to do it independently, and Lian'er was also a woman, so it was inconvenient to follow her to the rivers and lakes, so she didn't let her go with her. Qin Zhihong just rode a horse, led a group of pack horses and set off.
On the way, Qin Zhihong passed by RP and CZ, whenever he passed by these places that he was familiar with back then, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, thinking of his cousin Zhu Honglan, as well as heroes such as Yu Qingshui Wang Liyan and Benming Monk, and when he arrived at CZ, he also remembered his master Zhao Sanduo, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Qin Zhihong still has the ranking of these people in his family, and every New Year's festival or sacrifice day, he has to come to pay tribute to these heroes.
In less than a month, Qin Zhihong arrived in the capital, at this time, the capital has been dilapidated and desolate, passing by a few city gates in the east, you can still see the bullet marks left by the shells of nearly one meter wide, he can't help but think of Nie Shicheng, Cao Futian and senior brother Wang Qingyi.
But when I saw Boss Wang, Boss Wang almost didn't recognize him, although the two were just business dealings, it can be said that the friendship was not deep, but in that war-torn era, there was a kind of brotherly feeling of sharing hardships. The two of them didn't talk about business, but went directly to the restaurant, and Boss Wang told him that the foreigner, Lieutenant Bud, later returned to British India, and several times sent embassy staff in the capital to Boss Wang to inquire about Qin Zhihong's whereabouts, but Qin Zhihong had already left the capital.
Qin Zhihong said: "Yes, I haven't seen him for a long time. β
Boss Wang said: "Hey, it's all a passing cloud, and then he won't come to inquire about you anymore, but once I passed by the embassy and saw the embassy staff of his country, I had nothing to talk to him, he said that Bard had retired and returned to the UK."
Qin Zhihong looked up to the West, but he also thought of this former foreign friend. But Boss Wang then said proudly: "But brother, although that Bard is gone, this kid has publicized to foreigners how amazing my medical skills are, and many foreigners come to me to massage cupping when they are fine." I began to think, why are you here without any problems, but then I realized that people were here for fun, and we pricked them twice, roasted them on the fire, and went back comfortably. β
Qin Zhihong couldn't help laughing, and after drinking a cup of wine, he said, "It seems that this foreigner will really enjoy it." β
Boss Wang also accompanied him and said: "It's not, but I'm familiar with such a person, and the ruffians and hooligans around here have never come to find trouble, and even the people in the government are respectful to me, these are also given by you, brother, come and I'll give you a cup." β
Back at Wang's Pharmacy, Boss Wang said that he wouldn't let Qin Zhihong go to the hotel, and he had to stay overnight, Qin Zhihong was also respectful and obedient, so he stayed upstairs in Wang's Pharmacy, and also gave Boss Wang a list of medicinal materials, asking him to hurry up and get ready.
Boss Wang is also an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person, and he prepared all the medicinal materials for Qin Zhihong the next day, and he also picked out the best goods for him, Qin Zhihong was very grateful, and he was about to leave the capital. But Boss Wang hasn't seen Qin Zhihong for a few years, how could he let him go, say anything and let him stay for a few more days, Qin Zhihong was also very enthusiastic, so he had to stay in Wang's pharmacy for a few days and catch up with Boss Wang.
