Chapter 48: A Woman Grows Up (I)

Three years later.

In the evening, outside the city of Changli County, two horses came slowly, when a jujube red horse sat a beautiful girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate and straight body, slightly dark skin, bright eyes and bright teeth, and a chestnut horse behind sat a servant woman in her thirties, dark complexion, and strong figure, and the two immediately hung some pheasants and hares, and there was a bamboo basket full of mushrooms and fungus and other mountain delicacies.

The border city is not as strict as the rules in Beijing, and there are many female dependents who go out on horseback, and everyone is not surprised to see it. When the old guard saw the two of them, he smiled enthusiastically and saluted the girl in green, and asked, "Is Miss An going to hunt in the mountains or to see someone's illness?" ”

The girl in green was An Yi, and replied with a smile: "There is an old man in the Orion family in the mountains who is seriously ill and rarely moves, so I will go and take a look, just bring some game back." He casually threw a rabbit hanging on the horse to the old pawn, and said with a smile: "I made it myself, it's not worth anything, and I gave it to a few uncles to drink." ”

The old pawn hurriedly took it, and said with a smile: "It's still a girl's generosity." ”

A middle-aged soldier next to him smiled and boasted: "No, generous and kind-hearted, who can always give the poor people a sick and not charge money?" It's no wonder that everyone calls them living bodhisattvas, in the end, she is the beloved daughter of the county lord, the daughter of a famous family, and she has a good family education. ”

"A few uncles praised it falsely, but it was just a gesture." An Yi smiled shyly and shyly, and pulled the horse into the city gate with the servant.

Seeing her master and servant walking away, the old pawn turned his head and said to the middle-aged soldier: "It's really a woman's eighteen changes, this Anda girl was so stubborn a few years ago, I still remember that year she was bloody and unconscious to help Aunt Wu back to the city." Who would have thought that after a few years, she would grow like this, not only learned good medical skills, but also behaved like an official lady, not too dirty and tired, and always gave free medical treatment to the poor? ”

The middle-aged soldier looked left and right, and whispered: "Although it is for the poor to look at it for free, it is also in the pharmacy business." Not to mention the longevity medicine shops in Yongping, Funing, Qian'an, and Leting, even Aunt Wu's pharmacy seems to have a share, otherwise how could Anxian Cheng pay off the debts so quickly and use the servants? ”

"This is the birth of a good girl, no wonder she refuses to find her mother-in-law's house." The old man muttered to him for a while, and smiled: "No matter what these idle things do, it has nothing to do with you and me, and from time to time you can eat meat and drink wine with her, and the family doesn't want money if they have a headache and brain fever, so be content." ”

On the street, An Yi sent the servant sister-in-law Lan: "Sister-in-law Lan, you take these things home first, and tell the family that I am back, and I have to go to the hospital." ”

"Yes." Sister-in-law Lan told uneasily: "Big girl, a few days ago, the little boy said that he wanted to buy a windmill, you must remember to buy it and go home, otherwise the little boy will cry again." ”

"Got it." An Yi smiled and watched Sister-in-law Lan beat the horse and left. Sister-in-law Lan was originally a female martial artist raised by a large family, and she was responsible for personal protection of female dependents, just because the main family committed an accident, and even the servants and the master's whole family copied and did not sell, An Yi happened to go to Yongping Mansion with Wu Jing at that time, I heard that she had two sons, and saw that her duty was honest, so she bought it and took it with her.

Sister-in-law Lan is a real person, and when she saw that An Yi treated people well, she followed her with all her heart, not only taking care of her daily life, but also guarding her when she went out to see a doctor, and teaching her horseback riding and fist and foot kung fu in her spare time, so as to strengthen her body. An Yi had already practiced the slingshot technique perfectly, and her temperament was also strong, and she had the guidance of Sister-in-law Lan, not to mention how high the force value was, ordinary men would not be able to get close to her easily.

Her road to becoming rich by studying medicine is also relatively smooth. After returning from Funing, she split half of the four hundred taels of silver she got from Xie Mantang and handed it to Mrs. An to pay off her debts, improve her family's life and keep it for emergencies, and the other half became a shareholder with Chen Zhishan and Wu Jing to rely on the medical hall to open a benevolent pharmacy. Sure enough, as she expected, Wu Jing's fame was put on hold there, the price of medicine was slightly cheaper, and the quality of the medicine went up, and the business was racing day by day, not only did it collapse Renhuitang, but also patients with incurable diseases and patients with slightly better conditions from several nearby counties ran here.

After returning to the capital and saving again, she discussed with Wu Jing and Chen Zhishan whether to open pharmacies in several other neighboring counties. Wu Jing was not very interested and politely refused, and Chen Zhishan's family had a big business, and for some reasons that were not easy to elaborate, he also declined. An Yi unceremoniously asked Chen Zhishan to help find a capable and credible shopkeeper, and entrusted Zhou Jingang's relationship to open the first elixir shop in Funing. When the business stabilized and the funds were returned, she used the contacts established when she accompanied Wu Jing to see a doctor every day, and opened branches in Qian'an and Leting one after another, and at the beginning of this year, after the relationship between Yongping Mansion was opened, she opened a third branch in Yongping.

So the Cheng family in Anxian County successfully got out of poverty, and Mrs. An also saved surplus money to go back to her hometown in Beijing to buy some land and two small villages, and the rice, oil, poultry, meat and eggs needed for daily life were all produced from her own Zhuangzi, which saved a lot of expenses.

As soon as the economic problems are solved, the contradictions in the family will be much smaller, Anxian Cheng will no longer be in debt, and he will have the money to tout the peak and make friends to buy his colleagues and subordinates, and his life will not be so sad, and he will have the leisure and spare energy to do what he wants to do; Xue's family has money and leisure to recuperate his body, he is in a happy mood, and his old problems are naturally cured, and he looks several years younger; Mrs. An called the slave and the maid, and with money in hand, people were also much more dignified and angry; Xiao Maomao, whose name is An Yu, thrived and brought a lot of joy to the family; Geely still hasn't had a man and a half woman, and seeing An Yi's momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and her status in the family is pivotal, so she has to be a man with her tail between her legs, in order to avoid her edge; An Yi even calculated the path she was going to take clearly.

She followed Wu Jing to study medicine and practice medicine every day, humble and hardworking, when she practiced medicine alone, she would not charge money when she encountered poor and sick people, and knew which poor family was willing to take the time to visit, never afraid of dirty and tired, and occasionally gave medicine. Over time, she won a reputation for kindness and righteousness, and a group of people passed on her seven-point ability to nine points, only one point short of being inferior to Wu Jing, but far overshadowing Chen Zhishan, who started earlier.

Seeing that she and Chen Zhishan were able to stand alone, Wu Jing handed over all the ordinary affairs in the medical hall to the two, and she focused on writing books and sayings, either a critical and difficult illness that the two of them could not handle, or an important person who really couldn't get rid of it, Wu Jing would not take action easily.

Speaking of the two fox friends and dog friends of Bao'anliang, Zhou Jingang was reminded by An Yi, and he found out the road in Qinglong Mountain, and used this road in the winter of his year to make great achievements in the battle of the surprise attack on the Martial Arts, and became a general of the five grades of martial arts. Liu Xiucai Liu Yourun listened to An Yi's words that year and went to the capital to join Liu Song, and Liu Song recommended him to enter the Cai Taishi, and got the guidance of a famous teacher.

With the two of them taking care of him, the life of Bao Liang is a little better.

Life is very good, if there is any disharmony, it is the daily jealousy between Geely and Xue's wives and concubines, as well as the cautious eyes and mutual suppression between Mrs. An and Xue's mother-in-law. But these are small issues that do not affect the overall situation, and An Yi does not take it to heart. She only cares about how to continue this path and get closer to those people and things.

It has been more than five years since she was kidnapped out of Beijing that year, and then she was sold into the weeds and lost her life. But she always has to go back, and there will always be a day when she will spread the medicine to the capital, so that her reputation will spread to the ears of those people, how can people eat grains without getting sick? What's more, these nobles who cherish their bodies and lives to the extreme? They're going to need her. An Yi stood in front of the medical hall and looked up at Caixia in the sky, smiling slightly, shaking her spirits.
