12. Surprise the beacon

Shen Zongfu was a Mongolian cavalry from Suiyuan, stationed in the Daqingshan area. After entering Beijing with the Eight Banners, his ancestral surname was Senjide, and he changed his surname to Shen. Now the Shen family still has some distant relatives in Suiyuan, and they still live in the old house on the west side of Qingfeng Street. It is said that when the old lady was stationed in Suiyuan with her father, she lived next door to the old house of the Shen family. Xizhimen Church was surrounded because of the Shen family's search for a child, and the commotion was not small, Shen Zongfu was in a hurry, and asked someone to bring a cage of noodles to the palace, and the food box was specially engraved with the words "Guisui Qingfeng Street". The old lady remembered her childhood, and the foreigners did not do a deep study, so the two sides pretended to be confused together, and it was over. It is also this relationship that Shen Zongfu has the ability to help the Lin family bring a message to the old lady, and allow Lin Sanye to enter Yingtai again on behalf of his eldest brother for consultation.

Perhaps it was the full integration of his father's Mongolian blood and his mother's Han Chinese blood, Jia Luo more and more showed the heroism and delicacy of his thoughts, which made Rong Chuan from the south very envious, and he sighed from time to time: "Cousin, you are so amazing!" ”

Carrieu was about to put his head into the eyeball diagram on the table, and he pointed at the key part of the cataract extraction with a discarded lancet, and replied without raising his head: "I can only watch Uncle do the operation, and I can't do it." Uncle Driver appreciated Galio, so he asked him to help him learn more skills.

Rong Chuan leaned over, put his head on Jialiu's head, and the two haired children recited the guidance document for ophthalmic surgery together: "The large incision is made to cut the corner scleral limbus, and the anterior capsule of the lens is clamped with capsule forceps, and the suspension ligament is ruptured outward, and the lens is delivered."

Cataract surgery began last winter, and at first no one was interested, until a middle-aged woman was cured, and the good news spread and soon there was a long queue outside the clinic.

In order not to disturb other patients, Pasteur used all the south-facing rooms on the left side of the first floor of the clinic for ophthalmology clinics and operating rooms. Five days a week, one day off, one day for surgery. The surgery day is scheduled for Thursday. Every Thursday, there are many family members waiting outside the clinic, and there are also patients who come to inquire about the results of the surgery to decide whether to seek treatment from Bojia. Rong Chuan was arranged to register the patients, and also to make accounts for those patients who had no money to pay for the consultation, and then handed over the arrears records to the third master.

"Thank you for paying for the consultation of the poor." Outside the medical hall, Aikman bowed to the visiting third master.

The third master smiled and said nothing, and said in his heart: "When I take our things one day, just don't blame them." ”

"Third uncle, don't laugh at me." Rong Chuan pulled the third master aside and said.

"Why?" The third master looked at Rong Chuan and asked puzzled.

"I'm too timid to use a knife. Sent to register. Rong Chuan pouted.

"Keep a good record of the patient's medical records, I've heard them say that it's called the first visit. What about Jade? The third master asked.

"As an assistant to Bojia, there are a lot of eye surgeries now, and people are needed." Rong Chuan said.

As soon as the third master heard that he was with his uncle, he immediately became angry, he walked quickly to the medical hall, wanting to pull Meiyu away, but after thinking about it, what then? Forget it, let's do the dragon head first, so the third master of the Lin family got up and went to the northeast gate of the Old Summer Palace.

The third master sat at the northeast gate for a whole day, and when the sun set, he was worried about whether to go back to Baiwang Mountain or to the medicinal herb warehouse in Dahoucang in Xizhimen. It just so happened that a nearby inn came to pull people and asked him if he wanted to stay in the hotel. The third master thought about it, and he just found an inn to live for two nights.

There are many inns near the Old Summer Palace, all of which are prepared for foreign officials who come here to meet them, and the conditions are not bad. The third master saw that the inn he took to was the cleanest and most expensive in the neighborhood, so he happily stayed. The innkeeper is a husband and wife, the proprietress took the key to lead the third master to the best guest room, opened the door, leaned sideways against the door and asked, "Master, do you need a girl?" ”

The third master glanced at her, and said that the girl's girl couldn't be in this wilderness, so he waved his hand, asked the proprietress to get out of the way, and closed the door himself.

The proprietress whispered outside the door: "If you want to find a good girl in the city, I'll invite you." ”

The third master said, "No need. Instead, bring me a bowl of gnocchi soup. ”

The proprietress continued: "The pimple soup will come soon, and you can go to the counter to tell me if you think about it." ”

After drinking the pimple soup, the third master was bored and lying on the bed, he was hooked up by the words of the proprietress and had sex, thinking of Ruyue, but he couldn't remember Ruyue that night, which building was Ruyue.

Tossing and turning and unable to sleep, the third master got dressed and went to the counter to find the proprietress.

The proprietress was packing up and preparing to close, When she saw the third master coming, she said enthusiastically: "Yo, you're up." ”

"Eldest sister," every time the third master was in a hurry, he seemed to be a different person, and he said to the proprietress respectfully: "Eldest sister, in the big store near Xizhimen, there is a Ruyue. ”

The proprietress looked at the proprietor on the counter and smiled. Beckon your man over.

"On the gate near Xizhi Gate, there is a moon. You go on a trip and invite the master. The proprietress said to her man.

"Which one is like the moon?"

The proprietress and the boss looked at the third master together and asked.

"I can't remember the specifics, but it's like a month. None of them are bad. The most recent time, it should be a store near Xizhimen, called Ruyue. ”

The proprietress and the boss laughed loudly. Fortunately, there was no one else in the store, and the two of them laughed so happily.

The boss said: "There is also a big store nearby, and there should be one called Ruyue." ”

The proprietress squinted at the boss and was about to speak, but the boss quickly explained: "I listened to them. I haven't been. ”

The third master didn't wait for the proprietress to answer, and interjected: "It's still near Xizhimen." I'm not that casual either. ”

The proprietress and the boss burst into laughter again.

The proprietress smirked and said, "Let's run an errand and get the same amount of silver as the girl." ”

The third master said: "Then you are really a lion's mouth." ”

The proprietress said: "There is also Ruyue at the door, and that one is cheap." ”

The third master bowed his hand and said: "Cheng, don't say it, double it, double it, as long as Xizhimen." ”

The proprietress patted her man's shoulder heartily and said, "Official, walk." ”

The third master took the Ruyue who was invited from Xizhimen and stayed for two nights. The proprietress laughed and said that the third master had earned it, and he had exchanged errands for two nights at a time. The third master smiled and said, "I am physically active, and it is not as easy as you to run." ”

That Ruyue was the first time to see the third master, and such a jade tree was in the wind, Ruyue felt that she should find him some silver taels. She still wanted to stay, the third master knew that the Li Gong Guild would come the next day, so he didn't dare to miss the matter, and only said that he would go to see her in the future. But when it came, I forgot to ask which Ruyue she was.

Sending the girl away, after breakfast, the third master went to the northeast gate to wait for Grandpa Li. Gonggong Li dressed as a farmer and appeared at the northeast gate. Father-in-law Li said, "Follow me." ”

The third master followed Gonggong Li and came to the inn where he was staying. The proprietress and the boss led Grandpa Li and the third master to the third master's superior room. Only then did the third master understand that they were his own people.

Gonggong Li closed the door and said to the third master, "How are these days?" ”

The third master said embarrassedly: "Okay." ”

Gonggong Li said: "I'm afraid, I want to have three long and two short, what should you do." The owner of this inn is our people. ”

The third master said, "I can see it." ”

Gonggong Li got up and opened the door, and asked the two people who were outside the door to enter the house.

Gonggong Li said: "If there is anything in the future, don't go to the Northeast Gate and wait." Just come to the inn. ”

The third master said in his heart that this is good and convenient.

Gonggong Li said again: "Third master, you can take care of the current situation. ”

The third master stood up and respectfully introduced: "I ran up and down a few laps inside and outside the medical hall, but I didn't find anything. There is only a morgue, which should be where something is placed. I just couldn't get the key for a while. However, after getting the key, I can't take away such a big dragon head alone. Just need help. The third master said, looking at the boss and the proprietress .

Gonggong Li said: "It seems that the third master has found some eyebrows." ”

The third master wanted to tell Gonggong Li about the plan to exchange the top of the mountain for the dragon's head, but for some reason, he didn't have the courage to say it. He was afraid of exposing his friendship with Pasteur, and he also felt that it would be really ignorant to talk about his friendship with foreigners in front of his family and country.

Seeing that the third master didn't speak, Gonggong Li asked, "Uncle is good." ”

The third master reacted and hurriedly asked, "Uncle is very good." By the way, father-in-law, how is the patient? ”

Gonggong Li said with relief: "The patient is fine. ”

The third master said: "Gonggong Li, the location of the dragon head cannot be confirmed yet, and it will take some time. ”

Gonggong Li said: "It's not on this day or two. Hurry up, and that's fine. ”

The third master said: "With eyebrows, I will find two seniors in the inn." The third master greeted the boss and the proprietress with his hand.

Gonggong Li said: "Please forgive me, third master, we didn't dare to pull you in at the beginning." It is true that I have observed you for a while before I dare to do so. ”

The third master nodded.

Gonggong Li said: "It's not appropriate to stay for a long time, let's disperse." ”

The third master came out of the inn, and his heart was like numbness. He finally understood what a big thing he was involved in. Thinking carefully about what he said and did recently, none of them were out of line, and he was very afraid. The spring breeze is warm, and his words and deeds are illuminated by the warm sun, and they are also monitored by some eyes.

He had gone north, walked a few steps, and then turned around and headed south. He wants to go back to the big back warehouse and stabilize it.

At that time, there were four churches in the city of Beijing, and the third master loved Xinjiekou alone, which may be the water spring at the entrance of the hall, which was warm in winter and cool in summer.

Today, the third master was not happy, and sat alone by the spring for a while, then climbed up the bell tower along the spiral staircase, and stood there looking at the alley and the palace in the south. Then, turning to face the bell, he struck his fist. The collision of the fist and the bronze made a low muffled sound, and the sound was not loud, but it still attracted the fat deputy to stand in the courtyard and shout towards the bell tower: "Third master, you are here." ”

"Hey, Father." When the third master saw his deputy, he looked at his bald head and beard, and wanted to assign him.

The deputy answered, as usual: "I don't have a surname Hei." ”

The third master, who walked down the spiral ladder, smiled and put his hand on the shoulder of the deputy: "Your leader's surname is Jin, and your surname is Hei, how good." While laughing, the two tacitly went to the backyard together and went to the storage room to get a drink.

"You haven't been here in a while?" The deputy thought as he walked and thought that it would be good to get a Han surname "Hei" himself.

"I've been busy these days, hey, it's all busy." The third master muttered to himself.

The deputy patted his bald head, stroked the beard on his chin, looked at the third master with a face full of lawsuits, and said calmly: "Why bother so much, everything has to be according to the will of God." ”

The Italian lieutenant was stocky, stocky, easy-going and a little funny. No matter what he says, the third master will scare him back and have fun. Today, the fat deputy has the style of a high-ranking monk, which makes the third master very impatient, takes a deep breath and prepares to spray the fat deputy, just popping out the words "I said you", near the medicinal herb library of the Materia Medica Hall in the backyard, that is, in the alley of Dahoucang, there are loud ballads of children:

"The water of the West Hall Spring is clear and clear, and the thirteen-year-old boy can't tell the difference, so he drank the West Spring water in a big gulp and lost his life within half a day."

The wine glasses in the hands of the two were hanging in the air, and the fat deputy didn't speak for a long time. The third master hurriedly relieved the siege: "Don't get angry, adults scare the children." I just don't want them to come in and mess around. ”

The deputy rolled his eyes, stared at the full glass of wine in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then took a sip. The lawsuit on the third master's face moved to the fat deputy's face like this: "What do you say is going on, this is!" ”

"Alright, Mr. Hei, don't you say it, according to God's will." The third master also dried the glass of wine, and then wiped the wine stains on his upper lip with the palm of his hand, "Hey! You can experience this kind of bitterness that is full of mouths but can't be explained. Are you wronged by a few words in someone else's realm? This is our own territory, and if we want our own things, we have to fucking trade our own land! ”

"What's the inquiry?" The fat deputy remembered the dragon's head and asked with concern.

"Baiwangshan hasn't opened his mouth yet, and it's not, I haven't asked yet." The third master poured himself and the fat deputy another cup. "The sanatorium, you will all live in the future when you are old?"

"Who knows if we have a share." The fat deputy said disdainfully.

"There aren't many foreigners around here, if you don't go there, who will live?" The third master said.

"Hmph, so old, hot in summer, cold in winter, the old, weak, sick and disabled can't go up and down, think about it is a child." The foreigners in Italy had no part to speak, they all listened to the notice of the Ministers' Alliance, and were never consulted, which also made them feel resentful of the Ministers' Alliance. The arrangement of Dongjiaomin Lane, even if it is beneficial to them, will be analyzed by them as unprofitable.

"Yes, I think about it, drink and drink." The third master said.

"It's done." The deputy had a smile on his face again.

"In this way, let's open a small door on the back wall, it is convenient to go back and forth on both sides, and we have to take a detour. I'll find two more good cooks, and in the future, your room full of wine won't worry about no one drinking. The third master gestured and spoke happily.

"It's long overdue. But don't let Mr. Kim know. The fat deputy said.

"He doesn't eat or drink all day long, what is he doing?" The third master said.

"No, it's holding, it's floating, it's boring." The fat deputy said with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, I'll tell Mr. Jin about this tomorrow." The third master said.

The fat deputy stood up and said, "I'll talk to the shopkeeper about Ruyue." ”

The third master hurriedly stopped him with a grin, and read in his mouth: "Yes, mine is not, mine is not." ”

The eldest brother of the Lin family handed over the medicinal herb warehouse to the third master because the third brother was going to marry in the coming year, and hoped that he would settle down and live a good life with his wife. Everyone in the Lin family knows that the third master still has a habit of "like the moon". The third master himself wondered why he was on "Ruyue", and he couldn't stop.

"Ruyue" is like an introduction, first making the third master think of Meiyu. He took a deep breath and buried the beautiful jade. Then calm his mind and try to remind himself of Jiarou.

The third master gave himself some reasons, such as the home that he had taken charge of the medicinal herb storehouse, and he must have reported to Dashilar. Medicinal materials are in and out, and the accounts are complicated and lengthy, so you might as well ask Jiarou for help.

Since I haven't been to Tongzhou for a long time, it's better to take a look.

Early the next morning, the third master picked up the account book and rode his horse to Shen's house in Tongzhou.

Before lunch, the third master arrived. The porter of the Shen family shouted: "The third master is here." ”

This voice shouted all the people of the Shen family, who were living lazily.

Shen Yishi hurried from the backyard to the front yard, because Shen Zongfu went to the camp, she had to come out to receive her.

"The third master is here." Shen Yishi smiled all over his face.

"Ma'am." The third master still couldn't call out to her mother-in-law, but she continued: "I'll come to see the third girl, madam." ”

These days, Shen Yishi was pestered by Jiarou and asked why the third master suddenly turned back. Shen Yishi didn't know how to answer at all. Today's visit by the third master can be regarded as a relief to some extent. Although Shen Yi's family still didn't know about the medicine sold in the third master's gourd at this time, his visit was enough to prove something to his daughter.

"Jiarou has been talking about the third master for many days." Shen Yishi paved the way for the third master, hoping that he would wait to see his daughter and be more enthusiastic.

The third master said: "Recently, the counter has been very busy, and I can't read the accounts. Come on purpose, give, give", the third master wanted to say it to the young grandmother, but he couldn't say it, "Show the third girl and ask her to help." ”

After hearing this, Shen Yi's heart was full of joy, she finally waited for the sincerity of the third master. Shen Yishi turned his head to the girl and said, "Go, call the three girls out." ”

The girl didn't move. Shen Yishi turned his head to look at the girl and found that she was staring at the third master and smirking.

"Hmm!" Shen Yishi cleared her throat, but the girl still didn't move.

Shen Yishi had no choice but to reach out and pat her and say, "Girl, go to the backyard and invite the third girl out." ”

The girl came back to her senses and said, "Ah, yes, ma'am." ”

The girl stepped back, Shen Yishi glanced at the third master, and said in her heart that she was really uneasy. In the future, she can only marry with this girl, and she can only be an old mother.

Shen Yishi continued to greet the third master, and after a while, Jiarou came to the living room accompanied by the girl. The girl stood close behind Jiarou, Shen Yishi saw it, and said helplessly: "The girl should go back to the house and rest, let Mother Zhang come and serve." ”

The third master never had an idea about the girl, he just walked straight to Jiarou and said, "That, this is the account on the counter, I want to ask the girl to help take a look." ”

Jiarou smiled faintly, glanced at her mother, and Shen Yi walked around them and went out of the door. Seeing that there was no one around, Jiarou said generously: "Third master, I'll learn first." ”

Jiarou changed the third uncle to the third master.

"Then there's Miss Lao." The third master didn't know how to call Jiarou, so he still called her girl. After saying this, the two of them couldn't erase it, and no one knew what to say next.

After being cold for a while, Jiarou said, "Third Master, Uncle Yihe has returned from his hometown. I have something to discuss with you. ”

The third master hurriedly answered: "Third girl, please speak." ”

Jiarou originally wanted to say it happily, but she was made out of emotion by the third master's "you". She sighed, straightened her emotions, and said, "Uncle Yihe's land is gone, and the family has no place to live, so he brought his daughter-in-law and son to Tongzhou this time." ”

"Why is the land gone?"

"It was bought by the Germans and the church was built." Jiarou poured half a cup of tea and handed it to the third master.

"How do you think about selling land? What's going on? The third master asked.

"It was said that the water was distributed last year, so the land was sold and exchanged for money to buy food." Jiarou said.

"Oh," the third master and Jiarou had endless words, and they didn't see each other like this. It's just that in the past few years, with Meiyu, he has nothing to say to her. If the other party was Meiyu, the two would pile up a lot of words back and forth on this issue, but in front of Jiarou, the third master pulled the rhythm of the conversation very fast. He sighed, and then asked, "What do you want to discuss with me, girl?" ”

"Third master, with all due respect, in order to provide for my younger brother and Rong Chuan to study, the family has paid a lot of silver, and it is already good not to lay off people, and it is a bit unbearable to add two more mouths; Besides, his family is in and out of the yard, and he is afraid that other families will not be comfortable. ”

"Oh, then let Yihe's daughter-in-law and son go to my medicinal herb storehouse. I was about to fill in a few people. The third master said lightly.

Jiarou looked at the third master affectionately, "Uncle Yihe has loved me since I was a child, my sister above and my younger brother below, my family often can't think of me, it was he who always instructed the kitchen to give me a bowl of my sisters' West Lake lotus root soup." Don't laugh at me, I sold some dowry and quickly bought a piece of land for them in their hometown, otherwise they would just be floating in the capital, and no one would be sure. ”

The third master glanced at her, "Hey, that's a little bit of a thing. The countryside of Shandong can use a few dollars. also used the girl to sell the dowry. When the third master said this, he really felt that it was nothing.

Jiarou is not a stupid girl, she understands the third master's personality, so she did not misunderstand the third master's reaction as deep friendship for herself.

"It's been sold, and the money has been given to Uncle Yihe." Jiarou said with a smile.

"Yo, the girl has such a good heart." The third master said.

Jia Rou raised her eyes to look at the third master, before the third master, the third master's praise could make Jia Rou happy for half a month, and carefully figure out how much he liked himself in his words. But today, the smile in Jiarou's eyes is more of her identification with herself.

The third master saw Jiarou looking at him, and also looked at her politely. I don't know why, at that moment, the third master's eyes reflected the appearance of beautiful jade.

After a while, the third master moved his gaze to the courtyard and blurted out: "Ming'er, I have to go to Baiwang Mountain, if there is anything to bring to Jialiu, I will help the girl carry it." ”

The smart Jiarou saw through the third master's mind at a glance, she seemed to have planned it a long time ago, and said the following words like a cannon: "My nurse and I are also going, my grandmother misses her grandson, let my mother go over to see, my mother is too lazy to toss, so she sent me and my nurse over." If the third master doesn't like it, you rode a horse and followed our car, and just a car left us. Jiarou made a look of unaware and extremely happy.

The third master paused for a moment, "Okay, then let's go together." "Leave the North House.

Jiarou looked at the back of the third master, and tried to suppress the sadness that welled up in her heart. She didn't think too much about it, she just wanted to understand why the third master suddenly came to propose marriage, and why he turned back without warning.

The third master remembered that the last time he was in the hall of the medical hall, he did see Jiarou. At this moment, he remembered that Jiarou must have seen Meiyu. Thinking like this, many questions arose in his heart, so he returned to the door of the north house and asked, "The girl has been to Baiwang Mountain." ”

Jiarou smiled and said, "I've been, and you were there that day." ”

Jiarou's excessive calmness alerted the third master, and he realized that Jiarou was teasing him.

"So, the girl is going to see Caryo?"

"Yes, I not only met Jialuo, but also Bojia, He, and Sister Meiyu." Jia Rou glanced at the third master with a smile, and then moved her gaze to the courtyard.

The third master didn't speak.

Jiarou continued, "Tomorrow, I will go to the top of the mountain to have a look. ”

"The top of the mountain?" The third master asked in surprise.

"Yes, the top of the mountain. You can quickly help them buy the top of the mountain, and when the time comes, they will plant a large trellis there. Jiarou looked out at the courtyard and said casually.

The third master heard that there was something in Jiarou's words, but what surprised him even more was how the tone of Jiarou's speech had a little shadow of beautiful jade.

"You've been there?" The third master continued to ask.

"Yes, I'll go up with Jialuo, Bojia, and Sister Meiyu." Jiarou felt that the third master was a little nervous, in fact, she was also very nervous, and when she said the word "Meiyu", Jiarou's heart was panicked.

In fact, the third master was a little uneasy about Jiarou's acquaintance with Meiyu, but he could still control himself. It was the top of the hill that disturbed him. In order to hide his uneasiness, the third master hurriedly answered: "Oh, oh, I haven't been up yet." ”

Jiarou saw that the third master was getting more and more nervous, and blamed herself for saying too straightforwardly, so she pretended to be casual and said, "Third master, don't you want to go and see?" You can see the whole of Beijing from there. Jiarou turned to look at the third master, and what she saw was an uneasy third master, like the uneasy self in the past two years. Jiarou was like winning a battle, and an inexplicable ease arose spontaneously.

Seeing Jiarou's eyes full of smiles, the third master looked straight at himself, hurriedly looked away, dodged to look at the locust tree in the yard, and said, "Okay, then go to the top of the mountain tomorrow to have a look."

Jiarou smiled and said nothing, she nodded to the third master, got up and left the living room, and went back to the backyard. Jiarou thought as she walked, if she could get along like this in the future, it would be a steady life. When she crossed the threshold between the front and back yards on the corridor, Jiarou suddenly remembered Sister Meiyu's sentence "I like myself". She smiled beautifully, and happily felt that this should be the so-called "liking yourself".

In May, Baiwang Mountain is full of verdant, and the gray walls of the medical hall are much brighter than in winter. The flow of customers attracted by eye surgery fills the path at the foot of the mountain. The third master looked at the patients and family members who were laughing and was very surprised. He didn't expect that within half a month, the Nine National Medical Centers would be full of people.

There was a table outside the medical hall, Rong Chuan sat on the inside, nervously and seriously talking to the patients sitting outside, nodding from time to time, bowing his head from time to time to write, then turning to the left, pulling open the drawer on the left, and handing a registration slip with numbers written on it and the medical history record just written to the patient. Then, without raising his head again, he waved his hand to signal the next patient to sit down and repeat the process. On the table under Rong Chuan, there was a large white paper in black and white: "Registered".

The third master walked in front, and Jiarou followed. They did not dare to go into the queue for fear that the patients would misunderstand that they were cutting into the queue.

The third master stopped near the registration table, hesitating to say a word to Rong Chuan, but seeing that he was really busy, and seeing the queue behind him, the third master decided to go directly to the infirmary and go to find Pasteur.

Whether the third master entered the medical hall to find Pasteur or have a chance encounter with Meiyu, only he knows. Jiarou really wanted to see Sister Meiyu.

The halls of the hospital hall were crowded with people, and people kept reminding them not to make loud noises and to be quiet.

"This is all for Bojia to see a doctor? Galloy's really good! He worked as an assistant to such a famous doctor. Jiarou said proudly.

"I'll say a few words to Pasteur later, and ask him to take us to the top of the mountain." The third master looked at the crowded crowd in front of him and said with a grin.

"I'll go find Sister Meiyu and say hello." Jiarou blurted out unconsciously, forgetting that Meiyu and the third master might have some connections.

The third master was really frightened by this sentence, he didn't know what to say at all, and watched Jiarou burrow into the crowd and go straight in the direction of the nurse's station.

Just as he didn't know how to stay, the Dutchman Aikman caught a glimpse of the third master in the corridor on the second floor, he walked sideways against the flow of people going upstairs, waved his hand and shouted loudly, and greeted the third master warmly: "Third master! ”

The third master waved to Ekman, stood still, and waited for him to come down.

Ekman finally squeezed out and said, "The dean has gone to the city for a medical visit." ”

The third master said, "Oh, Lao Ai." The business of the medical clinic is really good. I saw that there were trumpet peddlers at the foot of the mountain. ”

"Third master, you lift. There are a lot of people, but there are still many who can't pay the consultation fee immediately. Thank you so much for helping to make up for the debts. Aikman bowed.

The crowd was too noisy, and the third master said, "I think let's go outside." ”

The two humbled each other and walked out of the hospital.

"It's quiet. Lao Ai, you are really good at it, I didn't say that I wanted to shorten the account period of medicinal materials. The third master laughed.

Aikman also laughed: "They don't know the price of firewood and rice, and now there are more patients, and we have more equipment and medicines to prepare." Cash flow is tight. As you know, this clinic isn't used to make money, it's really a business. ”

In the past, the third master would not have taken these words to heart, but now, the third master is also a person who has seen the world. Aikman's words, intentional or unintentional, testified to what the third master thought: "The medical hall is naturally not used to make money, otherwise the dragon head would not be placed here." ”

The third master raised his eyes and looked at the courtyard, the four-story medical hall, the two-story dormitory, the pharmacy, the canteen, the church, the girls' school next to it, and the vineyard. Such a large deal is not to make money, but to maintain business. The third master complained that he was too naΓ―ve before, and he never thought about what the medical hall that occupied a large area of Baiwang Mountain was used for.

Jiarou also walked out of the medical hall and came to the third master and Aikman. Greet Aikman politely.

The third master said, "Since Dean Ba is not here, let's go to the vineyard for a walk." Then he glanced at Rong Chuan, who was still busy and wrote without raising his head.

Jiarou followed the third master and kept a two-step distance from the third master. The third master didn't speak, and Jiarou started talking: "Aren't we going to the top of the mountain?" ”

The third master said, "Yes, the top of the mountain." ”

Jiarou asked, "Then why did you say you went to the vineyard?" ”

The third master said, "I'm afraid he will follow." ”

Jiarou nodded and said, "Yes." By the way, Third Master, Sister Meiyu asked me to say hello to you. ”

When the third master heard this, he couldn't take a step. He frowned and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Jiarou glanced at the third master, didn't stop, and continued to walk forward, saying as she walked: "I told Sister Meiyu that I want to go to the top of the mountain with you." When I asked her if she was going, she said no. Jiarou said this, so I won't say anything.

The third master quickly followed a few steps and asked, "And then?" ”

Jiarou glanced at him again, saw the anxiety in his eyes, and continued, "Then I'll come out." ”

The third master asked anxiously: "No, I mean why did she say hello to me." ”

Jiarou stopped, and the third master asked, "Are you in a hurry?!" ”

The third master found that he had exposed his feet, turned his face sideways, and did not dare to look at Jiarou.

Jia Rou sneered and said, "What do you have to hide? We're not married yet, so it's all in time. ”

The third master wanted to go back, but after thinking about it, if it wasn't for Meiyu's refusal to be a concubine, if it wasn't for the exchange of the top of the mountain for the dragon's head, he wouldn't be in a hurry and go to the bride price. All of these, the most unbearable, is Jiarou. She complained to herself, so she put up with it.

"Let's not mention that." The third master walked forward.

Jiarou is still young, and although she is very smart, she has never experienced the world. She suddenly turned red and cried: "It's awkward in my heart. Aren't you awkward? ”

"It's fine." The third master stopped. For Jiarou, he can't bear it.

"Do whatever you want? I'm awkward, and so is Sister Meiyu. As long as you don't feel awkward. Jiarou whined and cried, and her voice was very loud.

Fortunately, there was no one around, but the third master also panicked, frowned and said, "Hey, it's a little awkward." ”

"Why don't you pick up Sister Meiyu and leave? It's not like you don't have a place to put her. Jiarou asked. She herself has been trapped by love, but she has fallen. Jiarou felt sorry for Meiyu, she couldn't see Meiyu alone, and she couldn't think of how much pain Meiyu had to do when she was alone.

The third master was stupid, he didn't understand what Meiyu was going to say like this. The third master sighed a few times and said, "Jiarou." "This is the first time in two years that the third master has called her name." I'm not one of those kinds. Meiyu, I don't hide it from you, I did plan to take it, but she refused. ”

Jiarou wiped her tears and asked, "And then?" ”

The third master said: "Then the two of us broke up." ”

Jiarou took a few deep breaths and said, "Then you're going to marry me?" ”

The love of children can really save heroes from predicament. What the third master has always been afraid of is that Jiarou finds out that the purpose of marrying her is to the top of the mountain. But according to what she said just now, the motive for his third master to marry Jiarou was Meiyu's refusal to marry. That's a great way to put it.

The third master felt a lot more relaxed, it turned out that what Jiarou thought was: My third master is going to marry, and if he can't marry that, he will marry this. thought that Jiarou had inherited the wisdom of her mother Shen Yi, and it would be difficult for her to hide anything in the future. But looking at it this way, Jiarou is still trapped in that little bit of male and female affairs, and it will be easy to get along in the future.

"Don't say that. The girl and I have already had a marriage contract, whether there is Meiyu or not, we are all going to get married. The third master said to himself, he said it to Jiarou, and he also said it to himself. As the young master of the famous Materia Medica Hall in the capital, he knows that he has little room to turn back when it comes to marriage.

Jiarou was silent for a while and said, "Let's take advantage of the dawn and hurry up the mountain." ”

"Please lead the way, girl." The third master said.

This year's vineyard has expanded by half compared to last year, and the original path to the top of the mountain was covered by a new grape trellis.

The third master said: "Don't look for it, let's climb up by ourselves." ”

Originally, it could have been climbed up in half an hour, but this time it took almost an hour to go up. In the difficult place, the third master pulled Jiarou, and the two of them did not feel embarrassed. The fight just now brought each other closer.

The sun begins to set in the west as you reach the summit. It's good that the sunlight is less dazzling and the vision is more thorough. When the magnificent scenery swept away all the displeasure at the foot of the mountain, Jiarou stepped on the big stone, pointed to the east and said, "Look, I can't wait to see the Tongzhou camp here. ”

The third master was already shocked by the endless vision, he didn't say a word, stepped to the commanding heights, and his heart was surging. He stuck his waist, facing the mountain wind, and looked at the land of Beijing in front of him, "God, this is not to see the whole of Beijing thoroughly. The third master was still speechless, and he put this sentence in his heart and repeated it a few times.

The third master stood on the stone, looked at Beijing from south to north and from east to west, and looked carefully and carefully. Seeing his intoxicated appearance, Jiarou didn't want to disturb, so she jumped down the stone steps and walked under a locust tree.

Jiarou said: "If you look forward to the telescope, you may be able to see my yard." She stepped on a bunch of locust flowers, looked down and sniffed, and muttered, "It's so fragrant." ”

"Later, each family will make a fire to cook, and see what is called fireworks in the world, curling smoke." The third master stayed on the stone steps and muttered to himself, he wanted to look at Beijing more carefully.

Jiarou stepped on the locust flower alone, and the third master stood on the stone steps and waited. They do their own thing, and no one has to take care of anyone.

After a while, the sun set and the sky darkened. The smoke of the cooking stove rose near and far away, and the third master looked eastward, and said in his heart that Jiarou's sentence that he could see Tongzhou with a telescope was indeed true. The more he looked, the more agitated he became, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he also clenched his back molars.

"Third master, let's go. It's hard to go down the mountain when it's dark. ”

The third master reluctantly glanced at it a few more times, jumped down the stone steps, and took Jiarou down the mountain.

The road down the mountain is not easy to walk, and the two of them are crawling and rolling, but they can't take care of a lot, and they even hug each other.

When he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, it was completely dark, and the third master suddenly remembered something and asked, "This mountain road is so shaking, how did you go up last time, how did you come down?" ”

Jiarou was physically and mentally exhausted by the difficult downhill road, and she didn't care about her brains, so she said: "Jialiu protects me, and Uncle guards Sister Meiyu." ”

The third master's face sank, and Jia Rou laughed: "I said the wrong thing." ”

The third master was infected by Jiarou's laughter, and also laughed: "Let's not talk about this in the future, is it okay?" ”

Jiarou's eyes widened and said, "That's what you asked." ”

"yes, I was wrong." The third master laughed.

Jiarou continued: "Provoke you again, I'll stay with Sister Meiyu at night." ”

The third master said: "I have been seen through by you in this little matter, you are free, where you like to live." They had come down from the mountain, and the two of them strode towards the hospital.

Jiarou still laughed, and the third master followed her behind with a pressed step, shouting: "Stay, stay, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Jia Roule turned around, looked at the third master and said, "Don't worry, I will never mention you." With that, she couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed heartily.

The third master was made lose his temper by Jiarou, he let out a sigh of relief and said loudly: "Hey! Eat cut! Hungry! ”

Since the beginning of spring, Bojia's eye surgery has made the hospital famous. Many oncology and orthopedic surgery patients also come here for treatment. The doctors of the Jiuguo Medical Center finally felt the busyness that can only be found in first-class medical centers in France and Germany. This made all the doctors start to forget to sleep and eat.

In order to allow the busy doctors to have a hot meal, Pasteur deliberately postponed the return: from half past six every night to half past seven every night.

Jia Rou and the third master walked into the cafeteria, and it was empty. She asked the third master: "The people from the medical hall, will they all come here to eat later?" ”

The third master said: "The nurse eats at the girls' school next to it, and the nurse is in the small room behind the kitchen." Only doctors are allowed to come in here. ”

Jiarou nodded and asked, "Then am I suitable here?" ”

The third master said: "Occasional female visitors are still okay. Your mother used to dine here. ”

Jiarou and the third master chatted without a match, and the third master thought about the top of the mountain and talked to Jiarou absentmindedly. Jiarou looked forward to Jia Luo and Rong Chuan coming soon, stretching her neck to look out the window, and didn't mind the listlessness of the third master.

Soon, a doctor finally came out of the medical hall and entered the cafeteria. Jialiu, Rong Chuan, and Bo Jia walked behind, and several of them looked tired.

Jiarou got up to greet her and whispered her brother's name. Jia Luo walked a few steps quickly to her, "Sister, when did you come, wait a day." ”

"I came in the morning, there were too many people, I didn't dare to disturb you." Jiarou took out a handkerchief and helped her brother wipe the sweat and oil stains from his forehead. "Why is it so hard? Can you afford to eat and drink? ”

"How dare you drink water, how many things are delayed by going to the toilet, even the lunch is a snap, sometimes you can't eat if you want to, and before you see the patient, the meal is taken by other doctors to eat."

Jiarou pulled Jialiu to sit next to her seat and told him to hurry up and eat.

Caryo looked at her sister becoming more and more beautiful, and smiled silly.

"Cousin, why don't you ask me, I'm tired too." Rong Chuan sat opposite Jiarou and asked with a pout.

"Look, isn't that a scrambled egg from a locust flower?" Jiarou knows that Rongchuan's best mouth is scrambled eggs with plants, such as scrambled eggs with toon and scrambled eggs with jasmine. As soon as Jiarou entered the cafeteria, she handed over the acacia flowers she had picked to the cook and troubled him to fry a plate.

Meals were served, and the food was much better now than before, with eggs, ham, bread, fish and cream soup for everyone. Jia Luo was so hungry that she lowered her head and ate violently for a while, filling herself up half full, and then she looked up and said, "Sister, I am doing cataract removal now, and I have done a good job." ”

"Eat first, bring sauce beef from home, and I'll bring it to you later."

"Great, the food here is getting better and better, but I can't get used to it, it's all sweet."

Rong Chuan rushed to speak: "I can't get used to it either." Although we are also sweet in Hangzhou, I prefer salty ones. ”

Listening to her brother's complaints, Jiarou asked Jialiu in a low voice, "Is the food at the girls' school good?" ”

"Haven't been, but it's certainly not that good." Carlo said as she ate.

Pasteur was in the cafeteria behind Cariot. When the third master saw Pasteur, he hurriedly greeted him, and the doctors also warmly stepped forward to greet him when they saw the third master coming. Only Bo Jia turned a blind eye to him. The third master put down the shelf upside down and took the initiative to greet the uncle. After nodding his head with no interest, he sat down and ate his own.

The third master followed Pasteur to the innermost position of the long table, which was the main seat of the dean, and the third master naturally sat on the right-hand side, and Aikman sat on the left-hand side.

Pasteur said, "The third master has already come." ”

The third master said: "It's daytime." I didn't dare to disturb you, so I went to the vineyard for an afternoon. He concealed that he had gone to the top of the mountain.

"I'll be back in the afternoon," Pasteur said, "and I'll see a doctor as soon as I get back." There are too many patients now, I have to talk to Dongjiaomin Lane, and change people to see them in the future. I had to help out at the infirmary. ”

The third master said: "Why are there so many people all of a sudden? ”

Pasteur said: "Look, that American brother, the eye surgery is so good, people from ten miles and eight villages have come, and there are also people from Shanxi and Hebei. It is said that there is a miracle doctor in Baiwang Mountain, who sees all diseases. Regardless of what the problem is, it's all coming. This is a good thing, and it has kept all our doctors busy. ”

Hearing this, the third master was really jealous. Who can't? It has to be a driver. No wonder he was so invincible just now. The third master felt a pain in his heart, he thought, Meiyu was surrounded by such powerful characters, I was afraid that she had forgotten herself. The third master thought about it, and raised his eyes to look at Bo Jia, he looked the same age as himself, with clear facial contours, a darker complexion, broad shoulders, and slender arms. The more the third master thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, he put down the knife and fork, and couldn't swallow a mouthful.

"Don't have a good meal today?" Aikman asked.

"No, no." The third master picked up the knife and fork again and forced himself to continue eating. He kept his head down, trying to steer his mind to the top of the mountain.

After the meal, Rong Chuan sent his sister to the hospital to find Meiyu, and Jia Luo was waiting for the third uncle at the door of the cafeteria, and he had something to say to the third uncle.

In the third master's guest room, Jia Luo said to the third master: "Third uncle, I have been too busy these days, and I haven't found any corners and secret rooms. Mr. Bojia is not accepted here, it is not the mainstream, so he has not been to many places. Now he's so busy seeing doctors and doing surgeries every day that he doesn't really have time to go anywhere outside the clinic. After saying this long list, Carrie snorted at Hatche.

"He's so good, not the mainstream?" The third master asked.

"Not before, but probably in the future." Illio was very sleepy and said with his eyes closed.

"Don't mention him. Didn't I tell you, Sensei followed the blind mixing? Don't bother with these things in the future. The third master said.

"Hmm." Carlevo bowed her head in disappointment.

The third master saw that he really wanted to do something, but he happened to need his help, so he said, "However, there is really something that needs your help." ”

"Third uncle, you said, Jia Luo went to the soup and went to the fire, and he didn't give up!" Callio fell to his knees again.

The third master laughed: "Hurry up, hurry up, this sentence is a mantra, right?" ”

Jia Luo smiled: "Third uncle, I just want to do something big!" ”

"The so-called big things are the last trembling, and the front is paved with small things one by one. Now you need to do a little thing, put a mold out of the basement specimen room, that is, the morgue. ”

Jia Luo nodded solemnly, "Third Uncle, although you don't like to listen to it, I still have to say: Jia Luo will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not hesitate!" With that, Gallio himself smiled.

The third master also laughed, "Let's sleep with me today." ”

After a busy day, Cario fell asleep as soon as he fell into bed.

The third master pushed Jia Luo to the side of the small bed, dragged the chair over, and pushed it there to prevent Jia Luo from falling. Lie on the other side of the bed, using your robe as a pillow to cushion your head. He listened to Carryo's snoring, and wondered if he would get up at dawn tomorrow morning, and he would have to go back to the top of the mountain. Thinking about it, when the third master was about to fall asleep, he was awakened by Jia Luo's dream words: "Sister Meiyu, give me a new scalpel." ”

This sentence Meiyu made the third master sit up from the bed, and he was about to sigh something, but Jia Luo said again: "Thank you, Sister Meiyu." Then he grinned.

"Hey! Stinky boy! How old do you have to have this heart! The third master smiled, and then fell asleep.

Before dawn, the third master got up, and he walked alone on the path at the foot of the mountain, meditating on what he saw on the top of the mountain yesterday. Of course, the third master didn't want his speculations to be true. However, when he reached the summit again, the light of the rising sun in the east sprinkled on this plain, and when he looked at the southeast and west, the vision that was transparent to the end of the sky once again made the third master lift his heart and clench his fists tightly.

He turned around the top of the hill twice, measured the land with his feet, and the more he measured, the more panicked he became, and he repeatedly told himself that this place was enough to build a wide and tall medical hall and a four-story western-style building. When the time comes, standing on the top of the western-style building, it will be unobstructed. Just as he was confirming his speculation step by step, he suddenly remembered the words of the fat deputy of Xizhimen: "Hmph, so old, high, hot in summer, cold in winter, the old, weak, sick and disabled can't go up and down, and I want to come out of it." ”

He remembered Aikman's words: "The hospital is not used to make money, it is just to maintain its business. ”

The third master tried to adjust his breathing, he couldn't continue to think about it, but his doubts smashed at him one after another: "Build a sanatorium for such an old man?" How do the old, weak, sick and disabled come up and go down? There are few foreigners around Beijing, who will build a sanatorium for? If the hospital doesn't use it to make money, what is it for? ”

The third master's heart turned upside down! He was reluctant to accept his own inference, but he also had to admit that this was to build a beacon!

The top of the mountain was very cold in the early morning, but the third master was sweating profusely. The only thing he could comfort himself was that he was not in a hurry to hand over the title deed. But I don't have any idea how to go from here.

"Go to the Old Summer Palace to find that couple." This is the only thing that the third master can think of at the moment.

He hurriedly descended the mountain, said hello to the coachman Agui, said that there was an urgent matter in the medicinal herb warehouse and he had to rush back immediately, and asked Agui to take care of Jiarou and return to Tongzhou. The figure of him galloping away was clearly seen by Meiyu standing in front of the window of the medical hall, she had been looking forward to the third master coming to her, and she had always been afraid that the third master would appear again. Meiyu watched the third master disappear from sight, then sorted out her mind and returned to her busy work.

The third master rode his horse to the inn near the Old Summer Palace, and when the proprietress saw the third master coming, she wanted to joke and say something indiscriminate, but seeing that his expression was flustered, she swallowed back those incoherent words. She poked her man with her elbow and winked. The boss followed his daughter-in-law's gaze, and after seeing the third master, he quickly put down the account book in his hand and came out. The two didn't say anything when they met, and the third master followed the boss straight to the inner room.

"What's the matter, Third Master?" The boss asked.

"Big brother, I have something to discuss with Father-in-law Li." The third master said.

"In such a hurry?" The boss asked.

"Very urgent!"

"You stay first, it will take a whole day before Gonggong Li can come." After that, the boss left the inn and rode away in the direction of the city.

The third master stayed in the store, and the proprietress came in several times to deliver some bits and pieces of food. At dinner, a family of shochu was served.

The third master said, "Sister-in-law, you are polite. ”

The proprietress said, "Close the door and say, brother, don't scream, who is your sister-in-law." ”

The third master asked, "Isn't it?" ”

The proprietress said: "I don't want to think about who Gonggong Li's subordinates can be." Who will give them daughters-in-law? ”

The third master, who had been nervous for a day, burst out laughing, he touched the bare front half of his head and said, "I didn't expect it." It turns out that you are not a real couple. ”

The proprietress said: "The third master has never been offended, and he doesn't like to figure out others. ”

The third master said: "It's really not, I just can't figure it out." ”

The proprietress poured a glass of wine for the third master and asked, "What do you understand?" Let's hear it. With that, she dried her own glass of wine.

The third master said in his heart that he couldn't tell a woman about the matter on the top of the mountain, but he could ask her to help talk about the matter of Meiyu.

"Then I'll call you sister." The third master said.

The proprietress hurriedly said, "Stop, who is your sister." I'm not as big as you! ”

"How do you know how old I am?"

The proprietress rolled her eyes: "Third master, do you have nothing to talk to with me?" After looking for you, it is natural to figure it out inside and out, up and down. You have a few moles on you. ”

The third master nodded and said, "Okay, but I really don't see that you are not as big as me." ”

The proprietress sighed, stretched out her palm, and slapped the third master's arm.

The third master continued: "Nacheng, I'll continue to call you the boss lady." ”

"Brother, speak quickly, look at your ink. What the hell is it that you don't understand? ”

"Hey, my girl, I don't want to be a concubine." The third master shook his head.

"Listen to what you mean, it's still a good thing to be a concubine?" The hostess asked.

The third master leaned back and asked puzzledly, "Is there any difference?" It's just that in a different capacity, follow the person you like. If she really likes me, will she care if she is a wife or a concubine? How can my mother be my father's concubine? ”

The proprietress also leaned back, took a lucky breath, and said, "Ruyue doesn't care if it's a wife or a concubine, she really likes you, you want her to get it." ”

"Don't tease me, okay?" The third master poured himself a full glass of wine, bowed his head and did not speak.

The proprietress also poured herself a glass and said, "You divide the women into three, six, and nine, and hope that they will be seated according to the three, six, nine, and so on that you have divided them." Why?! ”

The third master looked at the proprietress who was already anxious, and didn't know how to answer, so he had to look at her stupidly.

The proprietress continued: "A girl who can make the third master anxious is not an ordinary person, she must be as beautiful as a fairy, smart and cute." ”

The third master hadn't seen Meiyu for a few days, and he thought that she could have someone to talk about Meiyu with him, and he could also solve his lovesickness. The third master followed the proprietress and said, "You're right. I wondered how God could make such a good person. What is a stunner, Meiyu is a stunner. The third master couldn't help but call out Meiyu's name.

"Miyu," said the proprietress of the proprietress "this is not an ordinary name." ”

"Not ordinary," said the third master, "people are as their name suggests." Temperament too. Sometimes it's warm, sometimes it's cold. ”

The proprietress said, "Such a beautiful woman, why not marry her?" ”

The third master was stunned, he drank another drink, and then like the Yellow River bursting, he happily said the hidden thoughts: "I am a big family in Bencaotang, she is an orphan, or an orphan raised by foreigners." Although it is said that the country is overwhelming, our family does not want a painting! If the family agrees, I will be happy. However, the family said that she was too delicate and refused to let her enter for fear of getting into trouble. said that I really couldn't let it go, so I bought a private house outside. I was thinking, take it first, and if I have an heir, I will naturally be able to give the title of a side room. Moreover, before her, I had already made a marriage with the girl of the Shen family in the Tongzhou Daying, and that girl was indeed a good match with my Materia Medica. Before and after, I can only give her the name of the side room. I don't understand what is wrong with my sister, a homeless girl, being able to join my Lin family as a concubine? It's better than her being with a group of foreigners who are floating around, staying here for a few years, staying there for a few years, it's ten thousand times better. ”

The third master paused, drank a glass of wine, and continued: "Sister, you say, does she like me or not?" I now wonder if she's trying to figure me out something! How to say good, say it, just like this, it's broken! The third master put down the wine glass heavily.

"Did you pay her a thousand dollars?" The hostess asked.

"That's really not, like she doesn't have any valuables, she's in the hospital, and she doesn't wear those." The third master pondered and said.

"So you bought her an estate? Buying a land? The proprietress asked.

"That's not it, she's in the hospital, she has a place to live, and she doesn't need to buy land."

The proprietress said and listened, and also drank several glasses with the third master, and then laughed and said, "The third master! Then I can't figure it out, this girl doesn't want money, and she doesn't want land, what do you say she wants from you? That's nothing more than trying to marry into your family. ”

"That's right!" The third master nodded.

"If she knows that she can't enter your door, and she is still so connected to you, then we can't say anything about you. Then she really feels good about this white-eyed wolf! The proprietress had red eyes and threw herself up for a drink.

The third master also took a drink, "Alas, I really like her!" ”

"It's good, your third master also has today!" The proprietress laughed.

"What do you mean by that?" The third master asked.

"That Ruyue, I found it back several times. She said you'd been looking for her before, but you didn't remember. The proprietress laughed, wiping the tears from her eyes as she laughed.

The third master squinted, frowned and said, "Don't say anything else, say Meiyu." ”

The proprietress said, "Meiyu is a good girl. ”

Who knows if it's a strong love or a wine farmer, in short, the third master cried, he first shed two tears, then cried whining, and then shouted after a while.

The proprietress rolled her eyes and said, "As for it?" A woman, aren't you the least lacking in women? ”

The third master wiped his face, his mouth was full of spittle, and said, "I miss her!" ”

The proprietress smiled: "Oh, Meiyu is so relieved to know that you are so difficult." ”

The third master raised his head and said, "No, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that she still doesn't understand what I mean? She still doesn't understand that I have a sincere heart for her? ”

The proprietress then laughed and said, "Hey, don't think about it, you can't figure it out." Go to sleep. ”

The proprietress got up and took away the wine bottle that had been drunk, and the third master lay on the table, drunkenly talking to himself.

The third master asked the proprietress who was about to close: "In a few days, in a few years, can she figure it out?" ”

The proprietress sneered and said, "Yes." You give her some time, and sooner or later she will figure it out. ”

The proprietress closed the door, and when she turned around, tears flowed, and she muttered: "It's been five years since I left him, and I haven't figured it out." He also begged me, he was also drunk, and he cried, and it was so difficult, but why would I rather be a fake husband and wife with a eunuch than be a child! ”

On the evening of the second day, Gonggong Li arrived.

"What's the matter, I'm in a hurry. The dragon's head has eyebrows? Gonggong Li saw the third master and asked.

The third master said, "Hey, no. I just found something else, so I'll let you know. ”

Gonggong Li said, "What is it? It is worth the third master to be so enthusiastic and call me out. ”

The third master heard that Gonggong Li was half complaining, and explained: "Naturally, it is not lighter than the dragon head. ”

"How?" Gonggong Li asked curiously.

The third master said: "Father-in-law Li, the foreigners are afraid that they will build a beacon tower on the top of the mountain." ”

Gonggong Li was puzzled and looked at him with wide eyes. The couple was also very puzzled by the third master.

The third master told Gonggong Li about what he had done recently, but he didn't dare to confess that he didn't steal the dragon head because he was afraid of causing trouble for Pasteur. It was only said that there was no trace of the dragon's head, but it could be exchanged for the mountain top they desperately needed. In order to get to the top of the mountain, he also agreed to his family, which can be said to be all out. Just when he was about to confess to the director of the medical hall, Pasteur, he kept an eye on it and went to the top of the mountain to explore, before he came to the conclusion of the "beacon tower".

The third master held Gonggong Li's arm and said, "Father-in-law, let's take the dragon's head, and in the end, we will change the stability of the country and change our family." But right now, the foreigners want to build a beacon tower on the top of Baiwang Mountain, isn't that coming straight to our imperial city? If you lose Beijing, what else do you want to do? ”

Gonggong Li was overwhelmed by the third master's words, he was a little dizzy, got up from the chair first, and sat down heavily.

Then he turned to the boss and asked, "How is Shandong?" ”

The third master interjected and said, "Father-in-law, it's not Shandong, it's the top of the mountain!" ”

Gonggong Li looked at the third master, frowned, and said angrily: "Don't interrupt?!" ”

The third master shrank back and listened.

The boss took over and said to his father-in-law: "Father-in-law, do you ask about the top of the mountain or Shandong?" ”

Gonggong Li was anxious, patted the back of the chair and said, "Hey, let's tease me with me, I'll ask you Shandong, Shandong!" ”

The boss hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, many people have made a fuss, and more and more people are participating." I also heard that Yuxian, the current governor of Shandong, recruited those people and ignored them by burning churches and killing foreigners. In front of the eyes, not only Shandong, but also Shanxi and Hebei have also risen, saying that they will enter Langfang in the near future. ”

Gonggong Li turned his head to look at the third master, rolled his eyes, and said in a long voice: "Did you hear it, Mumen, you are talking about the top of the mountain." ”

The third master wanted to laugh, but held back. The proprietress didn't hold back, she interjected: "Father-in-law, it's Shandong." Then he laughed.

Gonggong Li also laughed helplessly, "You rabbit cubs, you have wrapped up my old guy!" ”

The third master and the boss dared to laugh when they saw their father-in-law laughing. After laughing, Gonggong Li returned to a serious expression and said, "Inside and out, we are all passive." ”

The third master was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of being treated as a joke again. At this time, only women can speak out, they are not worried about losing face in front of men, women's ignorance and slow response can reflect the ability of men, but it is liked.

The proprietress really asked, "Father-in-law, what do you mean?" ”

Gonggong Li said: "I mean, foreigners have long been unwilling to settle for that bit of land. Yuxian, Yuxian, you are happy, I have suffered the sins of the Qing Dynasty. ”

The proprietress saw that the third master and her man were still full of doubts, and she didn't fully understand herself, so she continued to ask: "Father-in-law, we rabbit cubs are very sluggish, you continue." ”

Gonggong Li shook his head, got up from the chair, helped the proprietress around, and said: "What a good excuse this is, even if it is on the grounds of "self-defense", you can transfer troops from Tianjin to Beijing. ”

Several people were silent for a few moments. Father-in-law Li asked the third master, "What does the third master have to say?" ”

The third master said: "Father-in-law, if you analyze it like this, wouldn't the sanatorium on the top of Baiwang Mountain be? The third master smashed the fist of his right hand into the palm of his left hand, he didn't finish his words, but looked at Gonggong Li and asked, "Gonggong Li, do you think this is what you mean?" ”

Gonggong Li said: "Although there is no real hammer, according to common sense, eight or nine are not far from ten." Gonggong Li looked at the boss again and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

The boss is a wooden person, and Gonggong Li chose him because he felt that he was credible. But if there is anything, he has no idea when I discuss it with him.

Seeing Gonggong Li asking himself, the boss hurriedly said, "I think your analysis is correct." ”

Although the proprietress and him are not a real husband and wife, they have been together for many years and have feelings, and she hurriedly helped her man play a round as a like-minded person: "Father-in-law, we don't need to wait until the real hammer to believe it." According to common sense, this is indeed the case, and he didn't run away. ”

The father-in-law sat back in the chair, thought for a while, and said, "Third master, is the title deed still in your hands?" ”

The third master said, "Yes." But it's not in my name yet. ”

Gonggong Li asked, "In whose name?" ”

The third master thought that Gonggong Li was really old, and he forgot that he had just said that in order to get the title deed, he married the daughter of the owner of the title deed.

"Under the name of Mrs. Shen of Tongzhou."

Gonggong Li asked, "What did you just say her name is?" ”

"Yi Hangcai." The third master said.

"Yi Hangcai? She should be the housekeeper of Heshen back then, and the descendant of Steward Yi. Gonggong Li said.

The third master remembered that Jiarou had mentioned such a thing to him before, but he didn't ask much at the time.

"Father-in-law, do you need me to confirm?" The third master asked.

"No, no. That was all in the past, and I also heard the older generation talk about the ups and downs of the Heshen family. Every time, they will mention Steward Yi. Gonggong Li shook his hand.

The proprietress helped Father-in-law Li change a cup of hot tea, and Father-in-law Li picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "The land can't be lost." ”

The third master followed Gonggong Li's words and asked, "Then, do you want to go to the official office and change your name?" ”

Gonggong Li shook his head and said, "No. Just take the piece of paper with the title deed. Changed names, and we were all exposed. ”

"My father-in-law has thought it through. What should we do? The third master, the boss, and the proprietress asked in unison.

"The land must not be lost!" Gonggong Li repeated, "Hey, that dragon head, it's still the third master, steal it." Father-in-law Li lowered his head and closed the lid of the teacup, and gently placed the teacup on the small table next to the chair.

The third master sighed in his heart, went around such a big circle, and came back again. Although he was a little embarrassed, the weight of the dragon's head was still more important than his friendship with Pasteur. Since you can only steal, you have to live up to your brother.

The third master nodded in agreement.

Gonggong Li said, "Let's disperse." ”

The couple helped Father-in-law Li to his room to rest.

The third master got up and went back to Baiwang Mountain. He had to hurry up and secure the dragon's head.

Father-in-law Li was in his room and talked to the couple a lot of private words.

"If I'm not mistaken, the foot of the mountain is also the Yi family." Father-in-law Li said to the couple.

The couple stood, listened carefully, and did not talk.

"The older generation said that the housekeeper of Heshen, the Yi family, holds the entire Baiwang Mountain. They didn't plant trees or flowers, so they bought a whole mountain. ”

The couple stood and listened carefully, but still did not speak.

Gonggong Li sighed and said, "Answer the call." ”

The couple looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Gonggong Li said: "Hey, Bai has been with me for so many years. Illogical, you should say. ”

The proprietress suddenly realized and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it is indeed illogical." ”

Gonggong Li looked at the boss and asked, "You say, why is it illogical." ”

The boss smiled and said: "Naturally, young and old buy a barren mountain with silver, and don't use it to make money." Naturally, there are other plans. ”

Gonggong Li nodded with a smile and said with satisfaction: "In the future, I will look at things and people like this." Everything that is out of line with common sense has its own unique reason behind it. ”

The proprietress was extremely smart, and she then asked, "Father-in-law, then you say, where is the logic of the Yi clan?" ”

Father-in-law Li said to his apprentice, the boss, "Look at how clever your daughter-in-law is. He took a sip of tea, and then said, "It is said that the Yi clan took Baiwang Mountain in order to help the adults and bury a box of treasures. ”

The proprietress was surprised and asked, "Buy a mountain and think about treasure for hiding." What a big box of treasure does that have to be? ”

Gonggong Li put down the teacup: "You will listen to half of this." That's a big box of treasure, how is it possible? ”

The boss caught the conversation and said, "It's just that it's illogical to have such a big box somewhere." ”

The proprietress sneered, and Father-in-law Li also smiled and said, "Finally enlightened." ”

Gonggong Li continued: "The people in the medical hall must know about this box of treasures. If the third master finds this box of treasures in a few days, you will carry it out together. This baby, just as useful. ”

The boss asked, "Father-in-law, what's the use?" ”

Gonggong Li said: "Take it to buy some weapons, warships or something." If you have money, you're afraid you won't have anywhere to spend it? ”

The boss asked again, "Father-in-law, can I ask, which adult are you underneath?" Who's up there? ”

Gonggong Li got up and said as he walked out, "Can this tell you?" It's illogical to tell you! ”

The proprietress asked, "The third master, do you want him to know?" ”

Gonggong Li shook his head and said, "Forget it, let him find it first." ”
