Chapter 46: How can you bow your head?
"Brother Pan, don't come unharmed." Shi Wei arched his hand and walked in with a smile.
That Pan Gongzi was drinking tea by himself, and when he saw Shi Wei also coming, his face suddenly showed joy, and he got up and arched his hand: "Then I said that I would definitely come to visit the house, Brother Shi, congratulations on settling down in Jinling." “
Shi Wei felt that although the surname Pan was just a meeting in Pingshui, perhaps because of the same tribulation in the thief's den, he had a feeling of old friendship with this Pan Gong.
Now that they are reunited, they are as cordial as before, Shi Wei immediately poured him a cup of tea in person, glanced behind him, and joked: "Brother Pan, you came to my humble house, and you also brought this group of tiger and wolf people, the style is really not small." ”
That Pan Gongzi shook his head and smiled bitterly, and sighed helplessly: "I can't help it, I went home this time, my father was furious at me for traveling without permission, so he dialed four nursing homes to follow me, even if I went to the thatched house, I had to follow, which really made Brother Shi laugh." “
Shi Wei glanced at the four bodyguards, all of them were heroic and strong, and at a glance, he knew that he was a good hand with martial arts, and those who could afford to hire such bodyguards should have a good family background.
Thinking of some of the life experiences revealed by Mr. Pan before, Shi Wei became curious, so he asked: "Speaking of which, I still don't know Brother Pan's real name, and I don't know if I can tell him now." “
That Pan Gongzi's face suddenly showed shame, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Shi is my life-saving benefactor, but I didn't even have time to tell my name, I'm really ashamed, junior brother Pan Zijun, I have confessed to Brother Shi this time." “
A child with a family background like him is afraid that he will cause trouble by reporting his real name, Shi Wei can also understand, and now that Pan Zijun can tell him by his real name, Shi Wei is naturally quite pleased.
Shi Wei then smiled and said: "Brother Zijun is serious, you and I are people who escaped from a thief's den, and if you say these accusations or something, it will be outside." ”
"Brother Shi has a point."
Pan Zijun smiled at the moment, and the atmosphere of the reunion of this old friend became more and more harmonious.
The two chatted a few words, and sighed about the "unbearable" years in the thief's den, Shi Wei was about to leave Pan Zijun for lunch and drink a few glasses of him happily, but the old man Ding returned from outside the door dejectedly.
Seeing that he returned empty-handed, Shi Wei was curious, so he said, "Ding Bo, why didn't you buy any medicinal materials when you went out all morning?" ”
"Alas, it's not that the small ones don't want to buy it, it's that no one in those herb dealers wants to buy the small ones." Ding Laohan sighed angrily.
Shi Wei is strange now, he buys medicinal materials by himself, and he doesn't give money, these medicinal herb dealers are not sick in the head, and they are not willing to make money even if they have money, which is really a rare thing.
After thinking about it for a while, Shi Wei felt that there must be something else in this, so he asked: "Ding Bo, you said that those medicinal herb merchants refused to sell medicinal materials to us, so why didn't they sell them?" ”
Ding Laohan scratched his head, thought for a while, and said: "I remember, when I went to buy medicine, those medicinal herb merchants asked which medical hall the small one was, and the small one replied that it was from Ping'an Hall, and it was a newly opened medical hall. Those medicinal herb dealers asked again, "Have we joined the Xinglin Walk in this Ping'an Hall and visited the head of the line?" Where can the little ones understand these messy things, of course they will answer no, and when those pharmacists hear it, they will not sell the medicine to the small ones. “
Listening to Ding Laohan's explanation, Shi Wei probably understood the reason.
According to the law system of this dynasty, all walks of life in the market must form a so-called guild, and jointly elect a person of high moral standing as the head or president of the guild to regulate the relationship between the workshops or shops, and the government collects taxes on the guild as a unit, and at the same time facilitates management.
For example, those who do the pawn business are called the Gold Bank, those who do the bathhouse business are called the Perfume Hall, and those who open the medical hall are called the Apricot Forest Company.
When Shi Wei first arrived in Jinling, he only thought about opening this medical hall first, but he forgot to inquire about the rules of the apricot forest in Jinling City, and he did not go to visit the head of the line.
In this way, it was tantamount to breaking the rules, and the head of the line got angry, so he issued a notice to the medicinal herb dealers, ordering them not to sell medicinal herbs to the Ping An Hall.
As for those medicinal herb merchants, their interests are the most important, and of course they will not offend the head of the line for a little money in front of them, or even the entire Xinglin Bank, so they are unwilling to sell medicine to Ding Laohan, which makes sense.
After listening to Pan Zijun on the side, he smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, I think it's Brother Shi's first time here, and he doesn't understand the rules, you just need to bring some light gifts and go to visit the head of your Xinglin line, and it will be fine." ”
What Pan Zijun said is in line with Shi Wei's analysis.
At that moment, he asked: "Shi Mou is new to Chadao, and he is not very familiar with the apricot forest in this capital, I don't know if Brother Pan knows who the head of the apricot forest in this capital is?" ”
"Brother Shi doesn't even know the famous Liu Nanhe and Old Doctor Liu?" Pan Zijun looked a little surprised.
Old Doctor Liu, which green onion is this?
Shi Wei shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Shi was born in the countryside, how can these big things in the capital have the opportunity to hear about it, but I don't know where this Liu Langzhong comes from?" “
"This Liu Langzhong, when the first emperor was there, was the chief imperial doctor in the palace, and when he was old, he resigned and returned home to run his ancestral medical hall, so he was naturally elected as the head of the line. Liu Langzhong's son, Liu Kunbu, is also currently working in the imperial hospital, and I heard that his medical skills are no less than his father's, and I heard that His Majesty praised him in front of the ministers last year. ”
When Pan Zijun mentioned the background of this Liu Nanhe, Shi Wei didn't feel much surprise, but when he heard about his son Liu Kunbu, his heart was really shocked.
According to Pan Zijun's description, and then reminiscent of what Lu Yuzhu said before, that Liu Kunbu is not the Imperial Doctor Liu who looked down on him in front of the Lu Mansion that day.
This is really a narrow road......
When Shi Weizheng sighed to himself, Ding Laohan said: "Childe, if you want a lot of money, go and prepare some gifts now, and Childe can take the time to visit that Liu Xingshou." ”
Shi Wei frowned suddenly, and said with a brushing of his sleeves: "What about Liu Xingshou, I definitely won't go to the door to ask for fun." ”
Hearing this, Ding Lao Hanton was stunned, and even Pan Zijun's eyes flashed a trace of surprise, so he persuaded: "Brother Shi, if you don't go to visit this Liu Langzhong, inside and outside the capital, I'm afraid you won't even be able to buy a penny of medicinal materials, and you're afraid that this medical hall will be opened." ”
Shi Wei snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "If you can't open it and pull it down, it's a big deal that I'll roll up the cover and leave, and go back to my hometown." ”
Ding Laohan saw that Shi Wei seemed to be angry, but he didn't dare to squeak anymore.
That Pan Zijun saw some signs, paused for a moment, and asked, "Brother Shi, you refuse to visit that Liu Langzhong, is there something unspeakable in this?" ”
Shi Wei hesitated for a moment, and then told the ins and outs of this, of course, there were some details that were not necessary to be revealed to Pan Zijun, and he still said a word.
After that, he said coldly: "The prefect of Lu before, it was precisely because of Liu Kunbu that he turned his face and refused to go to the thief's den to save me. In front of the Lu Mansion a while ago, I was despised by the surnamed Liu again. Just imagine, all kinds of things have happened, can I still go to the Liu Mansion to give gifts in a low voice? “
After listening to Shi Wei's explanation, Pan Zijun suddenly realized, and couldn't help but show indignation, "I heard that the prefect of Nalu is a good official who loves the people, but he doesn't want to be so hard-hearted, even if he doesn't need Brother Shi anymore, but even if he hears that an ordinary person has been robbed by robbers, he should spare no effort to save him, how can he be so indifferent." ”
Shi Wei shook his head and sighed, originally he wanted to say, "Where are there any good officials who love the people these days", but thinking that Pan Zijun might be the son of an official eunuch, he is not the one who overturned a boat with a stick, so he swallowed back the words with his mouth.
Ding Laohan, who was silent over there, asked cautiously, "Childe, what should we do now?" “
At this time, Shi Wei showed a calm expression, "I said earlier, it's a big deal, let's leave, my Shi Wei's medical skills, I don't believe in the world, and there is no place for me." “
After saying this, Pan Zijun smiled and said: "Brother Shi, don't worry, with my Pan Zijun here, no one will want to drive you out of Jinling City." “
