Last year, Prince Gong Fujin had a strange disease, and a soybean-sized pustule was born on his lower abdomen. The famous doctors who visited the capital also injured the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital, and this soybean-sized wound just didn't heal. Coincidentally, when the helpless Prince Gong's Mansion sent people to Tongrentang to ask for a panacea with the heart of trying it, Zhang Zuguang suddenly thought of his daughter-in-law Yang Xiaoli.

This Zhang Zuguang is originally from Qingdao, and his ancestors are also engaged in medicine. Beginning in the 11th year of Daoguang (1831), when Le Pingquan, the tenth generation descendant of Tongrentang, set up the "Guangrentang" pharmacy in order to recover the ancestral business that was still run by people with foreign surnames at that time, Zhang Zuguang, who was only a teenager, entered the "Guangrentang" as an apprentice. After 20 years of ups and downs, he saw Tong Ren Tang start to prosper in the hands of Le Pingquan, and he himself changed from an ordinary apprentice to a big check cabinet.

He became a family, and his daughter-in-law Yang Xiaoli happened to be a Jiaodong native who came to the capital with his family to make a living. How could he think of his daughter-in-law who was idle at home at this time?

It turned out that if it weren't for the tilting of the big landlords in their hometown, Yang Xiaoli's family, who owned the land left by their ancestors for several days, would have been a wealthy family. However, the increasingly fierce land annexation eventually caused the honest Yang family to lose this qiē. If it weren't for Zhang Zuguang, her parents, who were already in trouble in making a living in the capital, would almost have to sell her to a rich family as a child daughter-in-law.

After all, Yang Xiaoli has been a lady for several years and has read some books, which can be regarded as ingenious. Back then, her mother had a disease similar to Prince Gong's Fujin, she had seen with her own eyes that the hometown is famous, legend has it that once used wicker for the broken leg of the person to pick up the bones, the Jiang Shen Doctor, only with a needle the length of half a silver chopstick, around the mother's patient, and then apply a plaster, a few days of work, that was called "fistula" by the Jiang Shen Doctor, it seems that the wound that can never be sealed will be scarred. Maybe it's because of the magic, maybe it's because of the heart, this scene has always been unforgettable. After getting married, she naturally mentioned it many times in front of her husband, "I bet that maybe I can cure similar diseases with this silver hairpin on my head." She said that more than once.

The world is so big, it's no surprise that this kind of thing really happened. Zhang Zuguang had also heard about the legend of Dr. Jiang, and he also felt the same way after thinking about his daughter-in-law's words. So, after consulting the shopkeeper Le Pingquan, he tried his best to tease his daughter-in-law to try, once he could succeed, he leaned on the big tree of Prince Gong, which would be beneficial to the future development of Tongrentang.

Yang Xiaoli really has the stubbornness of Shandong people, and she doesn't even consider that the patient is a Fujin, and it is not an ordinary Fujin, it is the Fujin of the first king in the world. She went, and sure enough, using the silver hairpin on her head, supplemented by the musk detoxification cream chosen by Zhang Zuguang, Prince Gong's illness was cured. Amazing! In this way, after coming and going, Yang Xiaoli became the guest of Prince Gong Fujin.

Now, as soon as she saw that Prince Gong was back, she took her leave immediately after seeing the ceremony. Yishan's wife has been sweating for her husband, just waiting for the prince to come back from the palace with Xin'er, these people are talking about big things, and she doesn't want to be an eyesore in front of others.

Yixin admired this woman who looked quite simple, not to mention that she had cured Fujin's illness, but also insisted on not rewarding, "The little woman is not a doctor, she is just a momentary obscure, and the day is happy and her life is good, so the little woman shows this face." This is all the creation of the prince and Fujin. "In this world, the people are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and compared with those celebrities in the Tai Hospital, they are several times more elegant.

"Mrs. Zhang, go back and tell your family Zhang Da to check the cabinet, I haven't drunk together for a few days, I must invite him after being busy for a while." Yi Xin laughed.

"Besides, people check the cabinet and the two of them always remember you, no, they regularly sent tiger bone wine to the prince." Prince Gong Fujin pointed to a bottle of tiger bone wine on the side, and said with disgust, "I also said that the prince is young, and he doesn't have any cold legs, so save this, but people just don't agree, saying that it always doesn't hurt to drink it, it's better than other wines." He also said that this is called being prepared. ”

"Look at what Fujin said, it's late autumn now, our autumn in Beijing is cold, and the body is the same as the grain in the field. Besides, now that the army is in chaos, the prince still has to ride a horse and lead the troops, galloping the field, and it is always good to pay attention. We are small families, and we can't get anything good, and a few bottles of wine are always a trivial matter. The prince works for the country and the people, which is also worthy of Fujin's mouth? As long as the world of our Qing Dynasty settles down early, and everyone lives a comfortable life peacefully, it will be good. Yang Xiaoli said seriously, and then smiled gracefully, "Ouch, look at me, I have a lot to talk about as soon as I come, hurry up and leave, don't miss the prince's big thing." ”

Yixin laughed, "Mrs. Zhang's words are still very fond of listening to this king." ”

As usual, the chief housekeeper of Prince Gong's Mansion personally sent Yang Xiaoli outside the gate, and used a small sedan chair in the palace to send her back to his home.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Zuguang seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time.

"Isn't there a lot of things on the cabinet?" Yang Xiaoli looked at her husband strangely, the sun hadn't set yet.

"That's a lot, but I've just come back, and I'll be out in a while." Zhang Zuguang smiled, "I want to purchase a batch of musk on the counter, and the money is not available for a while, so I am going to borrow some from Angel Commercial Bank." No, I'll come back and say hello to you by the way, and I won't be back for dinner in the evening. ”

"I see, I'm still wondering, where did you come from so idle." Yang Xiaoli knew that her husband was very close to Fan Wenrui and Xue Jiang, the two shopkeepers of the Angel Commercial Bank, which was built at the beginning of the year. I heard that the head office of Angel Commercial Bank is very powerful in the concession area of Shanghai. No, not long after coming to Beijing, the paper cigarettes of the "Big Golden Dragon" brand they operated were overwhelming, with bird cages on the left hand and paper cigarettes on the right hand, which has become the fashion of those Eight Banners.

"Went to see King Gong Fujin again?" Zhang Zuguang asked casually, "Alas, the current situation is not good, and they must have a lot of things to worry about." ”

"No," Yang Xiaoli folded the coat she took off, and her brows moved, "What kind of treaty did Heilongjiang General Yishan sign with the foreigners, oh, it's the Aihui Treaty, and a lot of places are drawn for the foreigners, saying that then the foreigners will personally send troops, and the Qing Dynasty will be saved." However, Yishan seems to be making his own assertions, and by the way, he also promised to lease Lushun to foreigners. At this time, his wife couldn't sit still, for fear of being punished by the emperor, and begged King Gong to intercede. I think the emperor will definitely not be able to spare him. ”

"Yes, but those things are none of our business, so don't talk to the outside world, lest there be disaster. The affairs of the imperial court cannot be talked about indiscriminately. Zhang Zuguang reminded seriously.

"Isn't it our business to sell the country?" Yang Xiaoli glanced at her husband stunned, and then smiled again, "That's what I said, we are ordinary people, and it's better to live a good life than anything else." ”

"Clever!" Zhang Zuguang raised his thumb, "Hey, how is Prince Gong's health lately?" ”

"I'm in good spirits," Yang Xiaoli smiled, "The prince also said that he would invite you to the palace for a drink after a while." ”

"That's good, that's good." Zhang Zuguang also smiled.

"Hmph, it's fun to hear people invite you to drink. Alas, you big men. Yang Xiaoli pursed her lips and shook her head again.
