"Of course the old man can trust your character." The old doctor thought about it quickly, and after a moment, he nodded categorically and said, "You are very thoughtful...... If you help me, the old man owes Chen Xiaoyou a favor. ”

"Running a bookstore is elegant to say, but in the end, it's about making a profit." Chen Houyun said: "Speaking of which, Mr. Old, your masterpiece, I want 10% of the profits obtained by Chen's Bookstore, I don't know if Mr. Lao is satisfied with this condition?" ”

"One achievement, one achievement." The old doctor did not hesitate.

Chen Houyun nodded and said, "Since it is a cooperation of interests, you don't owe me a favor, old man." ”

The old doctor seemed to feel a little calmer when he heard this, shook his head again, got up and said to Chen Houyun: "You wait, I'll give you the manuscript." ”

Next, the old doctor discussed with Chen Houyun about the publication of the medical book. From their conversation, it can be seen that this old doctor delved into medical skills, and he lacked some in human affairs and sophistication, and he didn't understand anything about business. Fortunately, he trusted Chen Houyun very much, and after a little explanation, he accepted Chen Houyun's idea in its entirety and was not stubborn in it.

It can also be seen that he is still excited because his book can be widely disseminated, and he doesn't care much about the profit at all.

"Chen Xiaoyou, the old man thought about it, but he still felt that this book should be sold cheaper." The old doctor said: "If no one cares about it because of the high price, the old man's hard work will be greatly reduced." As for money, the old man thinks about it. ”

Chen Houyun shook his head and said: "Those who can buy books are first of all people who read and learn words." This is a man who reads and learns words. Speaking of which, there are really no people who are exhausted. It's nothing in a dozen or so texts. However, the books on the medicinal herbs can be cheaper. The old gentleman's books are full of pictures and texts, even illiterate people can buy them, and they can also use the books to dig up medicinal herbs and sell them, which is a good thing for all parties. ”

The old doctor nodded slowly.

Chen Houyun said: "In my opinion, old man, you are determined to spread medical skills and cultivate doctors, and writing books is of course utilitarian...... However, I still suggest that when the old gentleman has leisure in the future, he can open a museum to teach apprentices and preach and teach. It is also a great good. ”

"If the old man's book is finished. Your suggestions will be considered. The old god doctor said.

"Since the matter has been decided, it is better for the old gentleman to temporarily live in the Hou Mansion. When the profit is made, I will buy a small courtyard for the old gentleman to live in. Chen Houyun said.

He could see it. The old doctor was not willing to stay in the Hou Mansion for a long time.

The old doctor nodded. Road; "Then it's troublesome for Chen Xiaoyou."

Chen Houyun finally left the small courtyard with the three booklets of the old divine doctor. These three booklets are quite thick. It is a common medicinal material pharmacological and medicinal properties, with pictures and texts, and also describes the methods of material processing. Practical.

"Brother Chen." Out of the courtyard, Deng Changnian led Chen Houyun and Shen Rouning to a pavilion with a good scenery in the garden to entertain them, and said: "The old gentleman's medical skills and virtues are admirable, and his ambition is even more convincing...... I won't say anything else, but that's it. The Hou Mansion has a small population and low expenses, so it can still come up with some money. It can be regarded as my intention to repay the old gentleman. ”

"Master Hou doesn't believe that the old man's hard work can be profitable?" Chen Houyun pointed to the carefully wrapped book in his hand and asked with a smile.

Deng Changnian shook his head: "There are many scholars, but few doctors." ”

How many are there to buy.

Four Books and Five Classics, which are necessary for reading the imperial examination; There are also rich children who are willing to buy novels for entertainment...... Medical books are difficult to read, how many people are willing to pay a lot of money to buy them back?

Chen Houyun also shook his head and said, "This point, but the long-term brother is wrong. ”

"You know, now in the bookstore, I really can't find any medical books. It is the various medical halls and the Xinglin family, and the study of medicine also relies on the ear to mention the face, and most of the collections in the study are manuscripts. ”

"Because they can't buy it, they all regard what they have as treasures, and they cherish their brooms more and more, and refuse to spread it to the outside world." Chen Houyun sighed lightly: "When this book is printed, I will give it to Changnian a few copies." If you flip through it, you will see where my faith is. ”

"What the old gentleman has sorted out is not only the prescription of medicinal materials, but also the pulse case! Even the recipes of some precious pills! And these formulas are all secrets that are not passed down from home to family! He sighed: "These three medicinal materials are detailed enough to cause a sensation; When the formula is printed in the future, I'm afraid that all the doctors in the world will blow up! ”

"And a book, as long as it has a sensational topic and continues to become famous, are you afraid that no one will be willing to pay for it?" Chen Houyun was very sure and said: "With his hard work, the old gentleman is afraid that he will not be short of money at all!" ”

Deng Changnian was shocked when he heard this: "Really? ”

"Old gentleman's medical skills, you should be convinced." Chen Houyun said softly.

Deng Changnian slowly came back to his senses, and quickly said: "If the old gentleman really discloses the secret recipes of various families, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble." If Brother Chen has any send-or-do in the future, I will never say anything about it. ”

Chen Houyun said: "Well, if you need it in the future, you will definitely find Hou Ye." ”

The two men were talking here, but the two women were sitting on the beauty next to them, sprinkling a handful of bait, and watching the koi fish swim over and grab food.

"Sister A-Niang." Zheng Zhu'er asked Shen Rouning in a low voice: "Is it the eldest lady of the house...... she wanted to ask if it was Mrs. Chen who was embarrassed Shen Rouning. As a wife, she could certainly sense her husband's concern for Shen Rouning.

Shen Rouning shook her head: "Mother always says that she is tired lately, but she doesn't sleep well, and her complexion is much worse. The husband was careful and filial, so he thought of the symptoms of women's menopause that the old doctor had mentioned, so he came over to ask. Of course, she could not say that Mrs. Chen's attitude towards her had changed slightly.

"Think about it, in the years that my mother has married into the capital, there is really not a moment of leisure." Shen Rouning sighed slightly, and asked Zheng Zhu'er: "It must be not easy to manage such a large mansion with hundreds of people in the mansion, right?" ”

Zheng Zhu'er nodded and said, "It was difficult at first. Fortunately, the subordinates here are loyal, and after setting the rules, it will be easy. Aunt Hou came over before, and she helped me a lot. She remembered that Deng Changnian's aunt was Shen Rouning's eldest aunt, so she smiled and said, "Sister Ah Ning, do you know when your aunt will come to the capital again?" I'd love to say hello to her in person. ”

"The eldest aunt probably won't come again for a while." Shen Rouning chatted casually along with her words: "She is the grandmother of the Shen family, and the ancestral house is inseparable from her old man's care, and it is rare to have time." (To be continued.) )
