Chen Mingyuan sat in the hall of the Xu family and looked around. He heard the footsteps of silk shoes rubbing against the ground, and quickly withdrew his gaze and sat upright.

The lotus leaf shook his pigtails, put the tea bowl in front of Chen Mingyuan, and said, "Please use tea", and the tray retreated as soon as it turned. These are all habits they developed in Xu Hanlin's house, and now they live in Xu Xiaole's humble house, and they still haven't changed.

Chen Mingyuan's family's economic conditions are actually much stronger than those of the Xu family. There are two storefronts rented to others to do business, and there are two elder brothers who serve as the second shopkeeper and bookkeeper in the big business. But his house can't be compared with here, not to mention the small building in the back, there is not even a yard.

Coupled with the well-mannered lotus leaf, the gentle and generous Mei Qing, and the famous Sister Tong and Sister Hu that he didn't have a chance to see...... Chen Mingyuan had already compiled the entire history of the rise and fall of large families in his mind, and he was both envious and sympathetic to Xu Xiaole.

Xu Xiaole got up early to finish practicing and was scrubbing by the well water, when he saw the lotus leaf running over, and said to him with a red face: "Brother Xiaole, someone from Changchun Hall is waiting for you in the hall, do you want to meet him?" ”

Xu Xiaole was a little surprised, and asked casually, "Which one is it?" ”

Lotus Leaf reported Chen Mingyuan's name.

Xu Xiaole was even more surprised, what did Chen Mingyuan do when he came to Mudu. He changed his clothes in two by three and strode towards the hall.

Chen Mingyuan heard the sound of footsteps, turned his head to look, and saw Xu Xiaole coming out, so he quickly got up and bowed, with respect and enthusiasm in his voice: "Xiaole, you are here." ”

Xu Xiaole was a little surprised, Chen Mingyuan had never been so polite when he was in Changchun Hall. He was busy returning the salute, sat opposite Chen Mingyuan, and did not say hello, and said straight to the point: "Why is Brother Mingyuan here?" ”

Chen Mingyuan cleared his throat: "Mid-autumn, the owner sent a festival gift, and the shopkeeper Gu asked me to send it." ”

Xu Xiaole was unintentional and said, "Oh, maybe it's a mistake." Before I left, I met the shopkeeper Gu, and he had already sent me a Boxing gift, which was a big red envelope. Could it be that he forgot? ”

Chen Mingyuan secretly scolded in his heart: There is a fart festival! Gu Xuan's picking, just invited everyone to have a banquet!

The simplest of the guys. The food given by the proprietor is good and the wage is high, and they sincerely regard the proprietor as a god; If the owner deducts something, they can scold the eighteen generations of ancestors of the owner in their stomachs in the blink of an eye. Especially knowing that the owner treats the people below differently, it adds fuel to the fire - for example, they are also buddies, so Xu Xiaole has a courtesy.

Or two copies!

Chen Mingyuan rubbed his face, and it took a long time to rub a smile and say, "Shopkeeper Gu has repeatedly taken care of what I want to deliver, how can it be wrong." You gave our Changchun Hall a big face, he really gave you two salutes, and it should be. What's more, I still have something to ask you for. ”

Xu Xiaole looked at the gifts wrapped in red paper on the table, there were four large and small ones, and they were the color heads of the four seasons, which could be regarded as a generous gift. He said, "I'm a little fellow, what do you want from me?" What does Shopkeeper Gu want me to do? ”

Chen Mingyuan said: "Come back to Changchun Hall with me today." ”

Xu Xiaole was stunned: "I asked for leave, why are you in such a hurry for me to go back?" Are there not enough people? He thought that he was an OEM for Li Xiqiang, even if there were not enough manpower, could he let him top?

Chen Mingyuan smiled bitterly: "There are too many people now. ”

Xu Xiaole will be mistaken: "Oh, is that asking me to go over to settle the salary?" He was a little disappointed, and in line with the self-esteem of a young man, he forced his mouth to say: "I didn't want to do it in the first place, since there are too many people in Changchun Hall, I just don't go, why bother to bring me any gifts, and I don't want to pay for it." ”

Anyway, I did it for ten days in August, and it was worth a penny of silver, so it was really not worth the autumn tiger day run. What's more, the shopkeeper Gu gave him ten taels of silver before the festival, which is already very generous.

Beads of sweat rolled down Chen Mingyuan's head and said, "Where did you think of it!" It's just that there are a lot of people who want you to go back quickly. ”

Xu Xiaole said blankly: "This reason doesn't make sense." ”

Chen Mingyuan took a sip of tea and said, "Two days after you went home, a doctor Yang came to the museum, bringing four or five apprentices, and the shelf was very big. He said that he was a famous doctor in Hejian Province, because he admired us in Suzhou, and his family migrated here. Now it's like a talker in the hospital. ”

Xu Xiaole sighed, but still didn't understand: "Are you in a hurry for me to go back?" ”

Chen Mingyuan choked: Do you want me to say that your master can't solve many illnesses, and you want to go back to catch knives?

He thought about it for a while, and put it another way: "Doctor Yang is the most unruly." Mr. Li's treatment was safe, and it couldn't be effective for a while, so Dr. Yang sent an apprentice to woo the patient and turn him to see him. ”

Xu Xiaole knew that Li Xiqiang's level was ordinary, if it weren't for his uncle to catch him with a knife, he would have been branded as a quack doctor a long time ago. He said disapprerovingly: "Who doesn't see it?" It is true that patients suffer less. ”

Chen Mingyuan didn't expect Xu Xiaole to help his relatives or not, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay if Doctor Yang can be optimistic!" He just can say it, the end result, hehe. ”

Xu Xiaole hesitated: "What do you mean by my master and Gu shopkeeper?" ”

Chen Mingyuan said: "Of course I hate him very much." He hurriedly added: "I'm afraid that he will cure people, and when the time comes, the patient will suffer, and he will smash the sign of Changchun Hall." ”

Xu Xiaole is sometimes a little fool, sometimes a little bastard, but his medical ethics are instilled by his uncle and ancestors, and he is the doctor who can't tolerate "pit patients".

Chen Mingyuan said again: "What do you think, Xiaole, Hejian Mansion, what kind of place is that?" What can the doctor over there cure? also came to our Suzhou Mansion, tsk, God knows if he escaped from the lawsuit! ”

Xu Xiaole didn't know where Hejian Mansion was, only that it was far away in the north.

Since the Song Dynasty, the south has been richer than the north, there are more people studying medicine, medical books are easy to print, and the level of medical skills is also higher. The northern provinces were tossed around by the Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols for hundreds of years, and it was only when Emperor Taizu was returned to Wanghua, and the economic and cultural level was much behind that of the south. It is precisely because of the great disparity that the Ming Dynasty has made a list of the north and the south, so as not to make all the people in the court and the central government southerners.

Therefore, it has become a common practice for southern doctors to look down on northern doctors.

Xu Xiaole thought for a while and said, "Since others are unreliable, and the shopkeeper Gu hates him, why do you still let him sit in the hall?" ”

Chen Mingyuan had no choice but to say: "He was also arranged by the owner." ”

Gu Xuan was arranged by the owner, and this Doctor Yang was also arranged by the owner. It is said that it is the "owner", but the subdivision is different. Gu Xuan is a person from the long room, and this Doctor Yang is a person who knows the second room. This is the struggle of the Gu family's five rooms that is not known to outsiders.

Xu Xiaole only felt that his head was big, so he simply waved his hand and said, "I'm not going back." Please ask Brother Mingyuan to bring a message to my master, and say that I am going to quit my job. I'm most annoyed by this kind of intrigue. ”

Chen Mingyuan's legs were weak in an instant, and he almost knelt down for Xu Xiaole. If you bring these words back, Shopkeeper Gu won't peel his skin!
