Chapter 43: Under the Moon

A group of people came to the Five Flavors. Lin Qingdai was a little surprised when she saw Du Wenhao go out alone and come back with such a group of people, and hurriedly asked Yingzi to add a stool.

Liu smiled apologetically: "Ouch, are you eating?" We're not here in a hurry, or we'll come later. ”

"Madame, please sit down and eat together!"

Liu Shi was not polite, sat down, let Lin Qingdai set up the dishes and chopsticks, and poured a glass of wine. Pang Yuqin, Xue Fei'er and Du Wenhao also sat down.

Liu smiled and said to Lin Qingdai: "Shopkeeper Lin, I came this time because I want to discuss something with you." That's the case, my family Yuqin wants to study medicine with Dr. Du in Wuweitang, and I discussed it with Dr. Du just now, and he has agreed. The old lady and I are going to take out some private money to co-operate with you to run Wuweitang, send Qin'er to be a small shopkeeper, help the handle, and study medicine with Mr. Du by the way, I heard that Mr. Du occupies two shares in Wuweitang, and he has agreed to let us in, I don't know what the shopkeeper Lin wants? ”

Lin Qingdai was surprised and delighted, she is now financially stretched, after taking down this pharmacy, after operating for two years, the business is bleak, and half of the dowry that was originally brought out is almost tossed, and she is worried about how to continue, at this time, there are shareholders who are willing to invest, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, I can't believe that this is true, I glanced at Du Wenhao, saw him smile and nodded, took a breath, and said: "Okay, of course welcome!" How much money is Madame going to take? ”

"The old lady takes six hundred taels, and I take four hundred taels, a total of one thousand taels! It's okay to account for two shares. ”

Lin Qingdai was stunned for a moment, the money she had brought over from Wuweitang at that time, plus some additional investment, had spent less than 1,000 taels in total, and according to 1,000 taels, the two sides should also be in half, except for Du Wenhao's two shares, both sides should each have four shares, and now the other party only asks for two shares, which is equivalent to overestimating the value of Lin Qingdai's Wuweitang. It's cheap. It's just that Lin Qingdai is not a person who likes to take advantage, coughed lightly, and said: "This ......, madam, the valuation of the contempt hall is not so high, only ......"

Liu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lin, how much is your Wuweitang worth, it is up to us to judge, we think that Wuweitang is worth at least three thousand taels, six shares, our one thousand taels are worth two shares, Mr. Du's medical skills are of course more than two shares, but since you have reached an agreement, we also agree, so it is decided, you account for six shares, and we and Mr. Du each have two shares." You are the big shopkeeper, and you are still fully responsible for the accounts and finances, Mr. Du is the second shopkeeper, and we are the third shopkeeper, and the two of them assist you. Dividends at the end of the year, losses are shared. ”

"This ......"

"Shopkeeper Lin, you also know that we invested in Guitang, mainly to make it convenient for Qin'er to follow Mr. Du to study medicine. Come! Let's have a glass of joint stock wine! ”

Lin Qingdai heard that the other party had said it so clearly, and knew the real purpose of the other party's doing this, so she didn't fight much, and gratefully picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, madam!" Come! Madam, Mr. Du, let's do it! ”

The three of them toasted and did it together.

Du Wenhao said: "If the business is getting better, then studying medicine may only be able to study at night, Miss Pang lives so far away, it will take an hour to come and go, but I am afraid that it will be too late to go back." ”

Liu nodded and said, "She lives in the hall, and asks Shopkeeper Lin to help set her up a room." ”

Without waiting for Lin Qingdai to agree, Xue Fei'er had already interjected first: "Don't bother, Sister Yuqin can live with me, as long as the inn is fine, I also want to come and listen, Du Langzhong, can you also take me as a disciple?" Sister Yuqin and I ......"

Liu Shi hurriedly interrupted her words: "Fei'er, our Yuqin is not an apprentice, but as the second shopkeeper of Wuwei Hall, we participate in the management of Wuwei Hall, and study medicine with Mr. Du casually, just casually teach, not a formal apprenticeship, not a master-apprentice relationship." ”

"Oh?" Of course, Xue Fei'er knew that she was about to say something wrong just now, "Yes, yes!" I said wrong, it's not a master and apprentice, hehe, then I also have to learn with Sister Yuqin, I don't have the money to contribute, Du Langzhong, you have to teach me in vain, okay? ”

Du Wenhao smiled: "Okay, one sheep is also driving, two sheep are also coaxing, it doesn't matter if there is one more!" ”

"Humph! You're the sheep! That's it! Sister Yuqin lives with me. Good no good? Sister Yuqin. ”

Pang Yuqin nodded: "Okay!" ”

Liu got up with a smile and said, "Then it's decided." Let's go, the money will be sent tomorrow morning, and the deed will be signed at that time. ”

After Liu took Pang Yuqin away, Lin Qingdai hadn't recovered from the surprise just now, and Silly Fat, Wu Cong and others had already cheered.

This night, everyone raised their glasses and drank very happily, until late in the evening, and then dispersed.

Du Wenhao returned to the room drunk, heard the tiger cub howling in the wooden box, and thought that the tiger cub must be hungry, so he hurriedly closed the door, took the tiger cub out, and put it in the kennel to let it feed. I squatted aside and watched the little tiger sucking with * bar chirp and chirp, it was very interesting to watch.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps walking upstairs, and then stopped, and faintly heard the voice of the maid Yingzi: "Madam, it's cold outside, go back to the house, beware of freezing." ”

Lin Qingdai's voice said: "Don't get in the way, I'll look at the moon here, you go into the house." ”

"Yes!"

Yingzi returned to the house with the sound of footsteps.

Du Wenhao listened to Lin Qingdai's romantic words, raised his eyes and glanced at the window lattice, the silver-white moonlight was extremely cool, and a touch of comfort rose in his heart, got up and walked to the door, and opened the door.

Lin Qingdai heard the voice, looked back and saw that it was him, and smiled slightly: "Mr. hasn't rested yet?" ”

"No, I want to see the moon too."

"yes, the moon is so round tonight."

Du Wenhao walked to Lin Qingdai's side and looked up at the night sky, in the deep and dark night sky, a bright moon hung obliquely in the sky, only far away from the moon, there were a few faint stars blinking. This scene made Du Wenhao breathe a long sigh of relief, and casually recited Su Shi's famous sentence: "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky." ”

Lin Qingdai smiled: "So emotional? Still want to drink with the moon? Haven't had enough yet, have you? Would you like to have two more drinks? ”

"Okay!"

Lin Qingdai said to Yingzi in the house: "Yingzi, move the coffee table out, ask the kitchen to fry two more small dishes, and warm a pot of wine!" ”

Du Wenhao said: "It's late at night, don't bother them, there are some dried fruits in the room, anyway, I drink rice wine, and I drink the dried fruits to admire the moon, isn't it comfortable?" ”

"That's what the gentleman said."

Yingzi brought out the coffee table, put a plate of dried fruits, and brought a bowl of warm wine. This bowl is a special utensils for warming wine, white porcelain firing, the tire is delicate and white, smooth and smooth, the outside is a large lotus petal-shaped bowl, the inside is a wine jug, pour hot water in the bowl, you can warm the wine.

Yingzi prepared the wine and dried fruits, and sat on a stool to serve them.

Lin Qingdai picked up the sleeve robe with one hand, lifted the wine cup with the other, and poured a glass for Du Wenhao and herself. Looking at the moonlight rippling like broken silver in the wine glass, he asked, "Mr. was just chanting, but Su Shi's words?" ”

"Well, yes. I think Su Dongpo is heroic, and it is hard to imagine that this poem was written by him, more like Li Qingzhao's words, unlike Su Dongpo's. ”

Lin Qingdai asked curiously, "Who is Su Dongpo?" ”

Du Wenhao smiled dumbly: "Are you drunk?" Su Dongpo is Su Shi! Dongpo layman is his number. ”

"Really?"

"You don't know that Su Dongpo is Su Shi?"

Lin Qingdai was a little embarrassed and shook her head slightly.

In fact, this is not to blame Lin Qingdai, Su Dongpo was indeed a well-known figure at that time, and as soon as his words came out, they were immediately widely copied and became the repertoire of the singers of the Qinglou singing Spring Flowers. But Su Dongpo was built in Dongpo when he was demoted to the Huangzhou regiment training envoy, and he called himself Dongpo layman, so he was called Su Dongpo, which was a year after that, so Lin Qingdai couldn't know.

Lin Qingdai asked again: "Who is Li Qingzhao that Mr. just said?" ”

"Li Qingzhao, a female lyricist of the Song Dynasty!" As soon as he said this, Du Wenhao suddenly remembered that Li Qingzhao was born in the Northern Song Dynasty, died in the Southern Song Dynasty, suffered from war, and now is the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is to say, Li Qingzhao was not born at this time.

Lin Qingdai smiled: "I'm lonely and unheard, and I haven't heard of this word." ”

Du Wenhao laughed secretly in his stomach, thinking, if you know, it will be strange! He raised his glass and said, "Come!" Cheers! ”

The two drank a glass of wine, chewing dried fruits while quietly looking at the bright moon in the night sky.

Lin Qingdai said: "It's not fun to drink like this all the time, let's make a drinking order, okay?" ”

"Good! Punch or shake the dice? ”

"No, talk about medicinal herbs!"

"Speaking of medicinal herbs? It's kind of interesting, how to decide whether to win or lose? ”

"When I flip through a medical book, I casually turn to a page of the first medicine, and you have to immediately tell the prescription and source of this medicine, and you are not allowed to make it up. Say it, I drink, I can't say, you drink! How is it? ”

"Okay. But you're going to lose, I'm ...... in elementary school, cough cough, when I used to go to private school, I memorized the scriptures so well, it didn't bother me! ”

"Not necessarily, maybe you forgot about it when you were nervous."

"No, if you don't believe it, just say two, I'll be able to say it right away!"
