Chapter 177: Garment Shop
Since Meng Xiaoran had dispelled his doubts, and the store was indeed very good, Shen Qian negotiated the price with the shopkeeper at the moment, and bought the shop at a price of 1,000 taels, Chen Jingfeng took out the silver ticket, and the shopkeeper took out the title deed, and several people went to the yamen to handle the transfer of the title deed, and transferred the title deed to Meng Xiaoran's name.
Meng Xiaoran was naturally reluctant, but it was not easy to argue too much when she was out of the house, and when everything was taken care of and the three of them walked back, she said, "How did you transfer this title deed to my name?" ”
Shen Qian glanced at her and said, "You also know what our Shen family fell for, and now it's not appropriate to use my name again." ”
"Yes, Xiao Ran, it's inconvenient for Shen Qian to come forward again, and I don't have the heart to do this, I still want to wait for my medicine house to be built, and continue to play with my herbs with the medicine house." Chen Jingfeng said with a smile.
Meng Xiaoran thought about it, and this was indeed the truth, so she didn't argue anymore, but she suddenly remembered something, and said to Chen Jingfeng: "Big brother, your medical skills are so good, why don't you open a medical center?" Although the medicine village is good, your medical skills cannot be known to the world, so it will bury your talent. ”
Chen Jingfeng shook his head, "I only practice medicine to study medical skills, and I have no interest in doing business at all, and I don't want to waste my energy on this." ”
Meng Xiaoran and Shen Qian glanced at each other, and then said, "Big brother, this is wrong, why do you have to do business when you open a medical center?" You can only heal the poor people, who are sick in the past, and I am afraid that they can't even afford medicine, if you can heal them and give them the medicinal materials in the medicine house, this is a good thing to save the world. ”
Chen Jingfeng fell into deep thought when he heard this, and then Shen Qian said again: "Jingfeng, what Xiao Ran said makes sense, it's really a waste that you don't treat the people with such good medical skills, what's the point of studying medical skills in your medicine all day, you are now so good at medicine, but there is no place for it, don't you think it's a pity?" ”
"But...... My master is an old man...... Hey, I promised my master that I would never be born, he was worried that I would be the same as him back then, so when the accident happened, he made me swear that I would not be born in this life, and soon after that, he had an accident, and he disappeared for more than ten years. Chen Jingfeng said helplessly.
Meng Xiaoran was silent, "I didn't expect there to be such a reason here." She sighed, "It's just that this way, the eldest brother's medical skills are buried, it's a pity." ”
When the three of them talked about this, the atmosphere was a little heavy, and they didn't say anything all the way back, Chen Jingfeng said goodbye to the two of them and went to the study as soon as they went back, the two looked at each other and sighed, and went back to the inner courtyard together.
"Actually, Jing Feng doesn't want to hang the pot to help the world, he has a lot of skills, but he can't use it, he has been hiding in his medicine shop all these years, studying medical skills all day long, if I hadn't let him make jade ointment at that time, and earned some silver for him, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to even get by." Shen Qian said helplessly.
Meng Xiaoran also sighed, "But today is different from the past, and besides, we are only opening a medical clinic in Yunzhou City, far away from Yujing City, will this also be dangerous?" ”
"You think too simply, Doctor Lin was not in Yujing City, their master and apprentice were just in a remote mountain village to treat the people, and gradually the title of this doctor came out, this reputation spread to Yujing City, spread to the palace, and the two of them were called into the palace by the emperor, and treated the stubborn illness for the queen mother for many years.
"I see, hey, no wonder Doctor Lin will be so resolute, that's it, in this case, I won't persuade it, today because I mentioned this matter, it is really a sin to provoke the sadness of my eldest brother."
Shen Qian smiled and said, "Okay, don't blame yourself too much, I'll go and say to him, you're tired today, go back and rest, I'll go find him." ”
Meng Xiaoran nodded, "Okay, then it's hard for you." ”
She stood in place and watched Shen Qian leave, couldn't help sighing, and returned to the house in a somewhat low mood.
Shen Qian came out of the inner courtyard and went straight to Chen Jingfeng's study, knocked on the door outside, and didn't get a response for a long time, so he pushed open the door directly from the outside and walked in, and saw Chen Jingfeng standing in front of the bookshelf in the study, looking at the shelves of medical books without speaking.
Shen Qian walked up to him and stood still, and glanced at him, "Looking at your treasures, are you uncomfortable again?" ”
Chen Jingfeng was silent for a long time, and sighed deeply, "I have always felt very unwilling, why is this world like this?" No matter how good the medical skills are, I can't treat people, I can only nest in the Zhuangzi all day long to develop all kinds of pills, I have no father and no mother since I was a child, it was the master who took me in, I have learned medical skills with him for so many years, but I have been so incognito, in this world except you, who knows my name? Calling me a miracle doctor is just a joke for you, I actually know very well in my heart that I am afraid that in this life, no one will know about me as a "miracle doctor". ”
Shen Qian didn't speak for a long time after listening to his words, he stretched out his hand and took out a copy of medical skills from the bookshelf: "Treatise on Difficult and Miscellaneous Diseases"
He opened it and read it for a long time, then closed the book, turned to look at Chen Jingfeng and said, "Jingfeng, I am not a person who studies medicine, but I want to ask you a question, what is the biggest purpose of studying medicine for so many years?" Do you want to be a miracle doctor and be recognized by the world? ”
Chen Jingfeng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I'...... I do not know. ”
"Jing Feng, you should think about it, as a healer, what are you pursuing? Is it the false name of those miracle doctors? Or a healer who saves people in distress? Shen Qian said solemnly, "You can think about me, from the once well-known imperial merchant to now have nothing, in the eyes of outsiders, I am now down, but I feel very relaxed." ”
"The pain and depression in your heart does not come from the oath you made to your master, but your own demons, once you think about it, even if you only heal ordinary people incognito, you will be happy, I will say all this, I won't play chess with you today, I'll go first." After Shen Qian finished speaking, he turned around and left.
But Chen Jingfeng stood there and thought for a long time, Shen Qian's words kept echoing in his mind, "Once you think about it, even if you only heal ordinary people incognito, you will be happy......
"Is it really my heart that is too deep?" Chen Jingfeng suddenly asked himself, his brows furrowed, as if he was full of worries, and finally he could only sigh......
Shen Qian has been busy again in the past few days, busy with the ready-to-wear store they are going to open, he acted quickly, and everything was ready three days later, on this day he came to Meng Xiaoran's courtyard, and it happened that she was talking with Chen Jingfeng in the courtyard.
"Xiaoran, if you have time in the past two days, you will draw some artwork of clothes, I have asked Qingfeng to find an embroidery girl, in the future, I will have people send them to make your drawings after they are drawn, and the ready-to-wear will be hung in the shop to sell."
Meng Xiaoran nodded, "But will these embroidery girls leak our artwork?" ”
Shen Qian smiled and said: "You can rest assured of this, I have signed a contract with that embroidery girl, once the artwork is leaked, no matter who did it, they will each compensate us with one hundred taels of silver, and those embroidery girls are all signed death deeds, and the deeds of sale are all here, they should not do stupid things." ”
"Sure enough, Shen Qian is still powerful, you can rest assured if these things are handed over to him." Chen Jingfeng said with a smile.
"Do those embroiderers have a place to live?" Meng Xiaoran smiled and asked again.
Shen Qian nodded, "There is a courtyard behind the shop, all the family members of this embroidery lady live in it, and the man also stays to do chores in the shop, and now everything is ready, only the artwork is owed to you." ”
"Okay, it seems that everything has been arranged for you, then I'll go and draw the artwork now, and we can open the business as soon as possible." With that, she got up and went back to her room, sat down at the desk, picked up the charcoal pen she had specially asked someone to make, and thought for a long time before drawing on rice paper......
Chen Jingfeng watched Meng Xiaoran leave, and said to Shen Qian with a smile: "When it comes to doing business, you are more energetic than anything else, but this is good, it can be regarded as finding something for her to do, which is better than doing nothing before." ”
"Yes, since you have to spend the rest of your life in Yunzhou, you can't stay at home all the time with nothing to do, right? And you and I both know that Xiao Ran is definitely not a person who can be idle. Shen Qian said with a smile.
"Haha, yes, she really can't be idle, didn't she make a few clothes for you when she was idle before?" Saying that, he looked at Shen Qian dissatisfied, and looked at the clothes on his body, the doctor's azure fabric, with a unique cut, was the new clothes that Meng Xiaoran made for him some time ago.
Shen Qian these days, as long as he doesn't go out, he will always change into the clothes that Meng Xiaoran made for him when he is at home, and even Qingfeng and Chen Jingfeng were told not to wear new clothes to go out, everyone was puzzled, but Shen Qian told them, "If you wear these new clothes so early and are seen, then what is new about the clothes in our store, and how can we attract people to buy them?" ”
Everyone suddenly realized, and then Shen Qian instructed them to let everyone wear the new clothes designed by Meng Xiaoran on the day the store opened, so as to better attract everyone's interest.
Even Meng Xiaoran had to sigh, Shen Qian, even if he is put in modern times, is an out-and-out profiteer, many of his ideas coincide with those modern promotion methods, even she, a modern person, sighs to herself, sure enough, some people are born to do business.
Meng Xiaoran worked hard for three days, and finally drew twenty drafts, she felt that her brain had been hollowed out, and after asking Nishang to hand over the sketches to Shen Qian, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep, and slept for a day and a night before getting up.
After Shen Qian got the artwork, he immediately rushed to the store, and asked the ten embroidery girls on standby to start making clothes immediately, but due to the novel form of this dress, everyone made it a little slower, and they all carefully pondered for a long time before making it.
