18. Strategy
***
Luo Quan thought for a while, and felt that he was still a little too bold to do so. Mu Baihu is an outsider, and he doesn't even understand the language, so many things are not clear. But if he did come here to see it, I'm afraid he would understand that this man was a little pedantic, but he was not a fool.
Luo Quan said: Even if there is no doctor for the time being, there must be a faΓ§ade. He leaned over to Xu Xiaole and said, "Xiaole, do you want to be a doctor?" β
Xu Xiaole turned around: "What else can I do if I don't become a doctor?" β
Luo Quan pinched his nose, feeling that he was asking this question really stupidly. Xu Xiaole's ancestors have been doctors for generations, whether the emperor's surname is Zhao or Zhu, whether he is Han or Mongolian, his family is a doctor, can he do anything other than a doctor?
Luo Quan said, "I'll send you two plaques, what is the name of your former medical center?" β
Xu Xiaole thought for a while: "I have to ask my sister-in-law about this, I can't remember clearly." But for as long as I can remember, I don't think I've seen any names at home. β
Luo Quan called a maid to invite Tong Wanqing. Tong Wanqing came over and frowned: "When I didn't pass the door, I heard that the signboard of the Xu Family Medical Center was smashed because of the death of people, and then I never hung the signboard again." β
Luo Quan was itching in his heart when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to cut open his chest and scratch it. He said secretly: Then when Mu Baihu comes and can't see the medical hall, he naturally has to inquire around, and if he inquires, won't he be completely exposed? This is really Xuanzang's exit - every step of the way!
Xu Xiaole looked at Luo Quan with a loveless look, and said, "Isn't Uncle Luo just worried about Mu Baihu?" In fact, the way to deal with it is very simple. β
"Oh? Let's hear it. β
Xu Xiaole made a gesture to ask for silver.
Luo Quan gritted his teeth, looked left and right, and stuffed a small hanging copper coin into Xu Xiaole's hand. Xu Xiaole couldn't help but mutter: "You want to buy my strategy for only twenty dollars?" β
"Speak quickly!"
Xu Xiaole accepted it when he saw it: "Mu Baihu always wants to go back to the capital, and you will accompany him to walk around the famous places in the past few days." Well, by the way, I see that he is quite interested in women, Uncle Luo, you will take him to the Qinglou outside the gate. If it doesn't work, simply take him to Jinling, Xuanwu Lake, Qinhuai River, and there are fat powder arrays everywhere Are you afraid that he will not surrender? β
Luo Quan shook his head helplessly: "This strategy is good, but the cost is too big." "He is the head snake in Suzhou City, and everything is naturally easy to say locally, but if you go to Nanjing, it is also the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there are six departments with inspectors, there are eunuchs and princesses...... A small brocade guard is probably not as high as the status of the gatehouse.
The status is not high, so you have to open the way with a silver bullet, although Luo Quan's interest is good, but he can't withstand such an expense in the gold cave.
Xu Xiaole said: "Then I have another way, but the risk is greater." β
"You say."
"Uncle Luo gave me some silver, and I went to find the beggar in the city, and asked him to get some sick beggars to come and guard here. Whenever someone asked, they said that they had come to see Dr. Xu. Can Mu Baihu still come every three or five times? It's amazing to come once. When he saw this, how could he not believe it? Xu Xiaole was triumphant, and said: "The key is the first sentence." β
Luo Quan slapped Xu Xiaole on the back of the head: "You play with these crooked things, or you can be a Jinyi guard." β
"Hehe, I don't dare to ask for ears."
"Fart, please! Let me tell you, these crooked and evil flowers, you must teach you Brother Luo Yun! Luo Quan said seriously: "He is so honest now, I'm really afraid that he won't be able to eat this bowl of rice." It's just a matter of starving to death, smashing the iron rice bowl left by his grandfather from birth and death, but there is really no way for him to live. β
"I know." Xu Xiaole said: "But those beggars have a very big appetite ......."
Luo Quan smiled: "I want to see which beggar in Suzhou City dares to accept my Luo Quan's silver." β
Xu Xiaole was stunned: I always treat the tiger as a sick cat, and I forgot that he is a brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit! Yaya, a good ploy was wasted!
Luo Quan didn't know why he was a little happy when he looked at Xu Xiaole's loss. In terms of age, he is enough to be Xu Xiaole's father, but he always unconsciously thinks that Xiaole is an adult, and sometimes even an opponent. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "The thief is still too tender!" β
"The old stuff is naturally spicy." Xu Xiaole replied, and was about to tease Tang Xiaoxiao quite tragically.
A jade hand was on Xu Xiaole's shoulder, and Xu Xiaole didn't need to look back to know that it was his sister-in-law's hand. I don't know what kind of demon method my sister-in-law used, she takes care of housework every day, and her hands are so tender that the embroidery girls in Donghu Town are ashamed. You must know that those embroidery girls have raised their hands since childhood, not to mention doing rough and heavy work, and even the handkerchiefs are not washed personally, they are all done by the men in the family. In this way, the hands raised can embroider extremely fine embroidery, that is, the famous Suzhou embroidery.
Xu Xiaole used to like her sister-in-law's hand the most, and she had to sleep with it at night. Until one day he dreamed that a god gave him a piece of white jade and told him to eat it...... As a result, he woke up his sister-in-law, and since then he has not had this treatment.
Tong Wanqing pressed Xu Xiaole's shoulder, and the other hand was still holding the eyebrow stick: "Actually, I have a way that is better than this." β
Luo Quan was also curious: Your family has a good brain! Wouldn't that make us all stupid?
Tong Wanqing said: "It's very simple, and it doesn't cost money." She saw that Xu Xiaole had already guessed eight points, and said with a smile: "As long as Xiaole is locked in the study and not allowed to go out, he must recite a chapter of text every day, otherwise he will not be given food." Isn't it all the trouble solved? β
Luo Quan thought for a moment: "Just say that he is studying hard in retreat, but it makes sense." β
Xu Xiaole hurriedly said: "This is very inappropriate! β
Tong Wanqing said: "What's wrong? β
Xu Xiaole racked his brains and thought about what was wrong, and finally thought of one, and said, "Lock me in the study, what if I want to pee and?" β
"That's a good question, my sister-in-law is so open-minded, she must adopt it." Tong Wanqing pretended to think for a while: "Then give you a stick of incense every morning and evening to go to the toilet." If you miss the time, you'll have to pull on your pants. β
"Isn't that what you washed? How could I give my sister-in-law such trouble. It's not appropriate, it's inappropriate! Xu Xiaole said quickly.
Tong Wanqing saw that Xu Xiaole was about to start messing around again, and raised the corner of her mouth: "Don't worry, you can't tire me." Okay, now there is no problem, Uncle Luo, I want you to bring thicker iron chains and copper locks...... Well, forget it, simply nail the doors and windows of the study with wooden strips, as long as there is a small opening for food and water. β
Xu Xiaole's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "I must endorse it every day, or don't lock it." β
Luo Quan couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw it. Tong Wanqing enjoyed the joy of victory all the time, only Xu Xiaole frowned and looked sullen.
