The Chen family in Deqing City didn't know about the things in the palace in the capital, nor did they know about these things in Qingyang City, and the Chen Mansion was preparing for the Hu family's trip these days.

Hu Shi and Mingzhu were sitting in Bai's upper room at the moment, Bai Shi took Hu's hand and said, "Sister, how long will it take for you to come back?" “

Hu said: "I originally wanted to live with my parents, but there are still patients in Deqing City who need me, as well as the eight apprentices I have just accepted, so I want to stay until the spring of next year and come back." “

Bai's eyebrows opened and smiled: "Sister, I am reluctant to you, for fear that you will go to the capital and not come back, then how boring I am here alone, I have the heart to persuade you to stay, and I think that you and Lingzun Lingtang have not seen each other for many years, so it is not good to stop you from doing your filial piety." I'm happiest now that you can think of it. ”

Wen Hui smiled at this time and said, "I am also the happiest." I can't bear Sister Mingzhu, and I can't bear Aunt Hu. ”

Mingzhu is already a down-and-out girl at the moment, listening to Wen Hui's words, she laughed and said to Wen Hui: "I can't bear you, my mother-in-law and father-in-law, and my two brothers, and I can't bear Yaozhen and them." ”

Hu Shi said with emotion: "I am not filial, when my parents' family was tragically changed, I couldn't help at all, I couldn't even go to see off my parents, now it's easy to be free, it is the time to be filial in front of my parents, but I think again, anyway, how many brothers and sisters-in-law are there in the family, besides, now my father has been reinstated, and the family is prosperous again, I can't resist on my shoulders, I can't lift my hands, it's useless to stay in the capital, it's better to return to Deqing, at least, here is my house, there is my pharmacy, and there are patients who need me, And the apprentice I just accepted. Even if he wants to return to the capital in the future, he will be able to teach a few apprentices out of the teacher and be able to treat patients. before leaving. ”

Bai said, "Sister, why are you useless? Mr. Hu's family now needs money. You just bring the silver ticket. With the money in the family, Lord Hu has been reinstated, and he will definitely prosper day by day, you, you should come back and teach your apprentices well, and the medicine will be opened well, and you will return to Beijing to settle down in the future. The apprentices can hold up the façade and continue to open the pharmacy, this is the real filial piety, this is accumulating virtue for Master Hu. ”

Hu Shi was happy when he heard this: "Yes, I believe that my parents can also understand my mind." Luckily, I have the silver in my hand now. At the beginning, I listened to Hui'er's words and invested 20,000 taels of silver, but now it has tripled and become 60,000 taels of silver, and this time I will go back to the capital. I gave 40,000 taels to my mother and kept it for the family, which can be regarded as my filial piety. There are still 20,000 taels left, this is prepared for Mingzhu to use in the future, it's still early. My sister helped me see where to invest again, just be idle, as for the money, I don't have the luxury, how can I be as clever as the last time. ”

Bai Shi listened for a while and said: "This autumn harvest is also over, as you know in our family, there is more money in hand this year, so I took the opportunity to buy a total of four Zhuangzi in Deqing and several surrounding counties, and I can earn some money just by collecting land rent this year." I also bought some shops in Deqing, I think Deqing City will definitely become more and more prosperous, while the price of the shop has not risen now, it is the time to start, I think you are not good at taking care of the land, how about buying some shops in Deqing City? Although this time you can't make as much money as last time in Ancheng, but you will never lose money, and after three or four years, you will use the silver, and you will be able to get some shop rent in these three or four years, not to mention anything else, you can also use more money to apply medicinal herbs. ”

Hu Shi liked it very much when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "What my sister said is very true, so be it, but I still have to ask my sister to buy me a property, I will let Mingzhu go home and get the silver ticket for you later, you can always help me do it." ”

Bai Shi laughed: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, just let Mingzhu send it tomorrow, and run home for this special one." ”

Hu Shi laughed when he heard this.

Bai Shi said: "My sister went to the capital to follow the fleet of the state capital to escort and unload the silver two, with the protection of officers and soldiers, it will be very safe along the way, this is actually convenient to go to the capital, there is a canal directly through Guò, and I will not be tired by taking the boat all the time, but it is boring." ”

Hu Shi said: "I'm not afraid of stuffiness, the housekeeper found me a boat, the cost is not big, I brought a boatload of things, what silk and satin, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, are ready to take some of them to the family, part of them to give away." ”

Bai said: "Then please ask my sister to help me bring something to your cousin, my sister Hu." ”

Hu said: "This must be, I will go to her house after two days of rest when I return to Beijing, and I have brought her many gifts." Speaking of which, she is better to my parents than my own daughter, and my parents have been in the northwest all these years thanks to her for taking care of them. ”

Bai Shi nodded and said, "That Sister Hu is the most enthusiastic person." ”

Speaking of this, Bai Shi remembered something and said to Hu Shi: "Sister, we are not outsiders, I can't compare to my sister is a downright person, I am used to loving small belly chicken intestines." I have something to say to you. ”

Hu Shi laughed when he heard this: "Where is my sister with a small belly, my sister is a good person, where am I down, I am stupid." Hurry up and say, where do the two of us need to be polite. ”

Bai Shi smiled, and said with a straight face: "Sister, you said that you want to hand over the 40,000 taels of silver tickets to your uncle and aunt, I don't think you should pay it quietly, it's better to ask your brother and sister-in-law to hand it over again." ”

Hu Shi was surprised: "Isn't it that wealth is not exposed?" How can you in front of everyone? ”

Bai said: "Sister, don't be angry, you are a person who is leaving, now go back to your parents' house, although you have the title of the imperial court, but it is difficult to guarantee that someone will let you go back to your mother's house to rely on your mother's family, if you take out the silver in front of everyone, no one will say you, your days in your mother's house are also respected, and the pearl is also stained, don't be regarded as an autumn wind." ”

Hu Shi understood now, and thanked Bai Shi very much: "Sister, others will not say such things to me, only if you are really for my good, for the good of Mingzhu, you bothered to plan for me so much, now I understand, just do what my sister said." ”

Wen Hui listened to the conversation between her mother and the Hu family, and admired her mother even more. Hu Shi was really lucky to make a friend like his mother.

Thinking of this, I accidentally saw my maid Green Sprout standing there, remembered something, and said to Hu: "Aunt Hu, you have been walking for a long time, you still assign some homework to your apprentices, so that they don't pull down to learn medical skills." ”

Hu Shi smiled: "You are the little maid Bilian who cares about you." I have a total of eight apprentices this time, among them, your maid Bilian, Mingzhu's maid Cuixiang, my maid Yujin, your mother's maid green cicada accounted for four, I recruited four from ordinary people in Deqing City, these four maids are impossible to inherit my pharmacy, my four apprentices will be the pillars of my pharmacy in the future, can I not be unsatisfied, you can rest assured, I have left them medical books, now they are learning to identify medicinal materials, more memorization of medical skills, and wait a year before they can follow me to see patients, But that's just to see me, they are not allowed to do it themselves, and after three years, they can see patients while I am watching, and when there are no problems, they can be discharged, how can it take five or six years. ”

Wen Hui stuck out her tongue when she heard this, she didn't expect it to be so difficult to study medicine. But also, in the previous life, undergraduate students went to four years, and those who studied medicine had to go to five years. Thinking of this, Wen Hui also let go.

In the next few days, Bai and Wen Hui personally watched Hu's maids, and the housekeeper packed and sorted out Hu's things and prepared them to go to Beijing.

Wen Hui and her sisters all saw off Mingzhu. The people who saw the doctor in the city heard that the Hu family was leaving, and they all kept the Hu family, and the Hu family couldn't cry or laugh, and said again and again that he just went back to Beijing Province to relatives, and he came back after the New Year, and he also saw a doctor for everyone. These people let go, and then they inquired, it turned out that Hu's father was a big official in the capital, and he was the second grade, what does the second product mean, that is, it is older than the official of the prefect, and older than the official of the assassin in Huzhou Province, and the descendants of such a big official actually gave them free medical treatment in this small city in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were really moved. They all took out their own things and asked the Hu family to bring them, in fact, what good things can these poor people have, that is, some chickens, ducks and geese.

Hu retreated repeatedly, but his heart was extremely moved.

was so busy, and soon, the day of Hu's long trip arrived. The Bai family went to the canal to see off the Hu family. Bai Shi took Hu's hand and said: "Sister, when you arrive in Beijing, send me a letter, if you encounter any troublesome things, our restaurant and shop are very good in the capital, you can ask someone to send a letter to the people in the shop, and they will definitely help you." You're used to those people, too. It's just singing red about them, don't see them outside. ”

Hu Shi hurriedly agreed, and there were tears in his eyes.

Chen Yuanheng smiled and said, "Madam, Mrs. Hu will be back soon, don't worry." Hurry up and let Madame Hu get on the boat, the fleet will set off in a moment. ”

Bai Shi hurriedly agreed. watched Hu take the maid, the housekeeper, and the daughter on the boat together.

Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu waved their hands violently, the two little girls have been getting along for almost two years, and they separated suddenly, and they felt quite uncomfortable.

When the fleet opened, Wen Hui was still looking at the canal, her little face full of tears.

Chen Wenlin looked at his sister, hurriedly walked over, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said, "Sister, don't be sad, Sister Mingzhu will be back next spring." ”

Wen Hui looked at the second brother and thought, what's wrong with herself, the two lives together are dozens of years old, why are you still shedding tears here like a child, it's really embarrassing.

When he was thinking wildly, the eldest brother Chen Wenjun suddenly said: "Father, you see a boat, and it seems that Xu Zhijie is standing at the bow. ”

Chen Wenhui was shocked when she heard this.
