Lu Xiucai was reluctant to be a bookkeeper, but he had no ability to do anything else, so he could only accept Tong Wanqing's arrangement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info What made him even more depressed was that his room had become Tong Wanqing's room, and he could only live in the firewood room in the backyard.

A bunk was set up in the firewood room, and Xu Xiaole and Luo Yun also slept here.

According to the Ming system, officials must live in the office. Because officials are officials in different places, they have no place to live except for the official office, and of course they will not go out to live. Most of the officials are natives of their hometowns, and they can't go back to their homes, so they still have to live in the office, but anyone who secretly goes home will be whipped by the officials.

The medical officer is an exception. The uninspiring medical officer did not have a salary or food, so he could of course go home to eat, or even sit outside. Medical officers who have entered the stream and have a grade often face the problem of traveling on business and staying overnight, so they can't strictly prohibit it in terms of means, so they simply let go.

Of course, Xu Xiaole didn't want to live in the Fuyi, the house was built during the Hongwu period, and the last time it was built was during the Yongle period. He didn't want to sleep at night and be scared, for fear that the wall would collapse and the house would collapse. Since my sister-in-law bought an inn in Datong, whether she has a business or not, she will go to support her popularity first. As for Tong Wanqing's safety issue, Xu Xiaole didn't think about it. With this Iron Lady in charge, it is as difficult for the bandits to capture the inn as it is to capture a military fort.

However, Xu Xiaole was still a little dissatisfied with his sister-in-law letting him live in the backyard, especially the firewood room next to the kitchen, and there was a smell of oil smoke.

Tong Wanqing educated Xu Xiaole: "Look at Lu Xiucai, that's a real showman." And he was still sixteen years old when he was a showman. How much knowledge? People didn't say anything, what do you have to complain about? ”

Xu Xiaole wanted to say: That's because Lu Xiucai owes you money, and I have to pay you back the money for day jobs, what does it matter to me? Well, yes, what he owes is actually my consultation fee and medicine fee, and you have also taken it over. However, he knew that if he said his "truth", he would inevitably make his sister-in-law speechless, and the result was that he was "persuaded" by his sister-in-law with a stick with eyebrows, so he simply admitted it obediently.

Xu Xiaole admitted it, of course Luo Yun had no reason to refuse. This stupid big guy also thinks it's very interesting for everyone to sleep in the bunk, and happily arranges the order between himself, Xiaole and Xiucai, to see who is next to whom.

Xu Xiaole turned around and found that Lu Xiucai secretly went to find Tong Wanqing. He said in his heart that this person was a little not frank enough, and he was really a "scholar", so he secretly followed to see what he said.

Lu Xiucai quietly found Tong Wanqing, and said weakly: "Shopkeeper, I am a showman, and I am also the former shopkeeper of the inn, so it is a little inappropriate for me to sleep in the firewood room." ”

Tong Wanqing gave him a big roll of his eyes: "The former shopkeeper means that he is not the shopkeeper now, right?" Besides, although you are a showman, do you have an official body? ”

Lu Xiucai choked: "Then naturally there is no ......"

"My Xiaole is a Jiupin official! The official of the court is still sleeping in the firewood room, what are you complaining about as a showman who has no official body? Tong Wanqing paused and said: "Even if it is Luo Yun, the family is also a hereditary brocade cloth and a hundred households, and now he is also an official who eats imperial grain, can you compare?" ”

Lu Xiucai's face was flushed when he was said, speechless, and retreated in shame.

Xu Xiaole withdrew one step ahead of time and did not let Lu Xiucai bump into him. He couldn't help but marvel at his sister-in-law's clear thinking and clever tongue, she was really an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and a heroine among women. In the past, I only knew that my sister-in-law had great kung fu in her hands, and after years of separation, I knew that my sister-in-law's mouth and tongue kung fu were also sharp.

Tong Wanqing settled the three young men, and still asked Xiao Guo to live in the utility room at the other end of the courtyard. Thinking about it, with Lu Xiucai's skills, Xu Xiaole's aesthetics, and Luo Yun's IQ, they will not pose a threat to Xiao Guo.

As a result, the inn has five rooms to accommodate guests. For the inn, the guest room is like the mine owner's cave and the farmer's land, which is the foundation of making money, and of course it cannot be wasted on one's own people needlessly.

Tong Wanqing couldn't help but be proud of her wit, and completely ignored a big problem: there were no guests.

As an important town in the north of the Ming Dynasty, Datong is not only a military fortress, but also a choke point for business travelers. Cattle from outside the Seikai and goods from the north and south of Kannai meet here, bringing extraordinary profits. Of course, the imperial court can not only look at profits, but also consider border security, so the quota of the market is very tightly controlled. However, all kinds of private markets and ghost markets have come and gone, and the transaction amount is much higher than that of the official market.

The resulting flow of people from the north and south has also made Datong full of vitality. With the reconciliation between the imperial court and the Warats, they were allowed to change the city, and Datong became even more prosperous.

Since there are more people, there will naturally be more diseases.

In the Jin and Yuan eras, the northern medical skills once bloomed with brilliant brilliance, but doctors, as high-income people, would not come to places like Datong when they were idle. People either go to Beijing, or go south to the Central Plains, or Jiangnan, what are they doing on the frontier? Therefore, Xu Xiaole's level of doctor is enough to amaze people.

Xu Xiaole sat in the prefect's medicine, first cured the prefect's unspeakable disease, and then solved several famous old diseases in the house with the momentum of breaking bamboo. When one pair is really effective, three pairs are healed. This has become a legend in Datong Mansion, but Xu Xiaole feels that these medical cases have no value even being recorded. If you insist on recording it, then it will become a ridicule and accusation against other doctors, which is nothing more than a certain doctor's unclear dialectic, a certain medical medicine mistake, and a certain doctor's careless human life......

Others didn't know that Xu Xiaole had scolded several doctors in the government medicine in his stomach, but he only looked at his indifferent appearance, and thought that he was deeply cultivated. For a while, someone became Xu Xiaole's admirer and made a name for Xiaole everywhere.

With fame, there are more people who come to Xu Xiaole for medical treatment. There is no shortage of rich people here, and they are not stingy with the consultation money, which makes Xu Xiaole very happy, and then he was too lazy to go to the government medicine to sit on duty, so he directly sat in the backyard of the inn, and asked Lu Xiucai to copy the prescription to collect money, and Xiao Guo ran errands to grab medicine.

Tong Wanqing was very unhappy at first. Lu Xiucai and Guo Peony are both paid by her, how can they do things for Xiaole, and they don't even do business! However, Xu Xiaole's reason is also very sufficient: the inn has no business, is it for nothing? It's better to let them play a role, and the big deal is that he will pay for it.

Tong Wanqing was speechless, so she had to agree. She soon found that her decision was too wise: because many people who came to Xu Xiaole for medical treatment could not get in line, she could only choose to stay in a hotel. Is there a shop closer than Shangru Inn? Especially if it is a family's industry, the business of the inn was brought up by Xu Xiaole's black medical hall, and even the beggar old man who swept the floor outside was hired by Tong Wanqing as a runner.

Business boom is just around the corner.
