Gui Niangzi and Qian Fuzi, after Jin Niang and Xu Erlang left the capital with a few children, they felt that they continued to stay in the house to take advantage of Xu's house, and they had nothing to do every day, which was very boring, so they quickly moved out of Xu's house and settled in a new home.

Not far from their new home, they also opened a small pharmacy, where Gui Niangzi sat and specialized in diagnosing the ladies and girls who were suffering from diseases.

It was Mr. Qian, who split two other houses in his home and made a small private school to teach the children in the neighborhood to be enlightened.

There is no doubt about the ability of Gui Niangzi and Qian Fuzi, even if many people did not trust them at first, but as Gui Niangzi cured one patient after another over the years, Qian Fuzi taught a few children who passed the children's examination at the age of ten. The husband and wife are benevolent and rejuvenated, and their reputation as knowledgeable and good teachers has spread far and wide, and they have become well-known figures.

Last time, Changle and a few people went to visit Gui Niangzi and Qian Fuzi and came back and said that the people there respected their husband and wife very much. In particular, Gui Niangzi has become a well-known living bodhisattva. They don't have to buy daily necessities at home, because there are always some patients who throw chickens, ducks, fish, melons, fruits and vegetables at the door and leave. I really want to get someone to send things back, but it can't be done, which also shows that the husband and wife are very popular in the vicinity.

This time, the Qian family originally wanted to deal with it in a low-key manner, but they didn't know where the news leaked, so that many patients of Gui Niangzi and the parents of Qian Fuzi's students came to give gifts.

When Gui Niangzi and Jin Niang talked about this, they were still a little crying and laughing, "I just didn't want them to break the bank, so I decided to deal with Ban'er's family affairs in a low-key manner." As a result, I don't know where the news leaked, and the matter got out. ”

Gui Niangzi treats people, and it is completely based on the situation of the patient's home. If the family is poor, she will appropriately reduce the cost of some medicines, and sometimes even give them away for free. But if she meets those rich and noble families, she will not overcharge, but those people love to use some good medicines, and the profits of good medicines are very large, and correspondingly, the income of the pharmacy will increase. Not to mention, some of the ladies in the house are worried about their reputations, and they don't come to the pharmacy for treatment, so they invite Gui Niangzi to the house. Gui Niangzi didn't think there was anything about it, but the cost of inviting her to go to the house was not small, and sometimes the cost of a visit to the house even exceeded the profit of the pharmacy in a month - this pharmacy can continue to operate, and the diagnosis and treatment of the house is a great achievement.

There were many guests outside, and Gui Niangzi and Qian Fuzi couldn't spare time to entertain Jinniang's family for a while. Today, Jin Niang and Xu Erlang passed the house together, and they also took Chang'an and Changle with them. Except for Xu's father and Xu's mother, the rest of the family came over, and they also gave enough face to Master Qian and Gui Niangzi, and the friendship between the two families for so many years was complete.

waited until everyone left, and then Qian Fuzi went to talk to Xu Erlang, and Gui Niangzi accompanied Jin Niang.

also fell in the flower hall, and there was a little girl who was married to Ban'er. The girl's name was Li Yushu. The name is flattering, and it looks really a bit literate. And she laughs gently and shyly, but she acts neatly, and it can be seen that Gui Niangzi likes her very much.

Li Yushu entertained Changle and a few people, and Gui Niangzi saw that Jinniang looked at the little girl twice, so she said, "When I first moved to this alley, Yushu had a high fever, and her family came in time, and I tried my best to save her life." At that time, the child was young, and she was the youngest daughter in the family, and her parents and brothers and sisters were pampered with her, so she became more and more innocent and lovely. The boy came to me often after he recovered, and spent most of his day with me. After a long time, I instructed her in some medical skills, and counted half of the apprentices. ”

It's a pity that this kid is hardworking, but he has no talent in studying medicine. However, as the old saying goes, diligence can make up for clumsiness, so after studying for a few years, the foundation is not bad.

Gui Niangzi was not ready to accept any more apprentices, but since Yushu has become her future daughter-in-law, her requirements will be stricter. After that, let the child inherit her craft, and there is also a way to make a living. The most important thing is to prevent them from going to the old two immortals, and Ban'er will have a case, when Yushu will have medical skills, and the two of them will not be so depressed that they will not even be embarrassed to eat and drink.

Should it be said that it is worthy of being a parent, not to mention the long-term consideration for the child, but also to be comprehensive, but it is really pitiful for parents all over the world.

Jinniang's family spent time in the Qian Mansion until the evening, and then they were ready to go back.

Gui Niangzi took Jin Niang and Changle's hands very reluctantly, "You will leave Beijing in a few days, and I don't know when I will see you again." ”

Jin Niang smiled, "We'll see you later, and we'll have wine and tea together at that time." Maybe you have grandchildren at that time, and I don't know if you'll have time to chat with me. ”

Gui Niangzi naturally heard the words and was happy to see her teeth and eyes.

She and Mrs. Qian are both in their forties, and if they are placed in ordinary people's homes, their grandchildren are about to say goodbye. But now their grandson is gone.

But I can't wait a few years, at most three or five years, and there will be delicate and soft little balls reaching out for them to hug.

Gui Niangzi smiled and talked to Jin Niang, and told Changle, "Don't push yourself too hard, your medical skills are now on par with the master." You can do it if you like, but you don't have to take the patient's life completely on your own. We are healers, healers, but we are not gods. Sometimes it is understandable that there is nothing to be done in the face of patients. Changle, you are sensitive, don't drill the horns. ”

"I know the master, don't worry, I will work hard to improve myself. If there is a disease that cannot be cured, I will study and try it with my heart, and if the patient is careless, I will not blame myself for it. ”

"If only you understood." Gui Niangzi looked at Xiao Yu'er and Changqi again, smiled and told them about the customs of Jiangnan, and asked them to pay attention to safety. Jiangnan is rich, and the road is not left behind - this is pure nonsense, and today's Daqi is far from being rich to that point. However, compared with the rest of Daqi, the people in Jiangnan do have enough food and clothing, and their lives are much better.

It is precisely because life is relatively good that the people over there raise their children very carefully.

However, violations of law and discipline happen everywhere.

Especially in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there are endless beauties bred in the country, including those who shoot flowers, or mothers-in-law who specialize in the business of the red light district, who go around selling people every year. If it can't be sold, there are not a few abductors. What's more, when I see those who are particularly beautiful and delicate, I will kidnap them directly regardless of them, but because those people have a big backing, the girl's family enters those pickled places, and if they come out again, they will insult the lintel, and even affect the marriage of the sisters in the family. Therefore, even if some people know the girl's situation, they will pretend to be deaf and dumb, or rescue the person and then end it with medicine.

Gui Niangzi is very clear about the hidden ups and downs in the quiet and peaceful days, and she also knows that according to Xu Erlang's ability, she will definitely not let the little girl in the house be in danger.

But what if?

There is a case in everything, and this has to be guarded against.

Especially Lord Xu's trip to the south of the Yangtze River this time will definitely touch the interests of many nobles. The family is full of miasma, and they don't break their hands to achieve their goals, they have annihilated their humanity, and if they can use a little girl to achieve their goals, they don't mind doing it.

Because of this, Gui Niangzi told and told Xiao Yuer and Changle to pay attention to safety. Even if you want to go out for a walk, you have enough people or things for self-defense.

For Changle, she doesn't worry about this. When Changle was studying medicine with her, she would have a lot of self-defense methods, and now that her medical skills have improved, idlers can't touch her. If you have evil thoughts about her, don't make a move, once you do, it will be obvious who will suffer in the end.

Gui Niangzi saw off Jinniang's family uneasily, and when she turned around, she saw Ban'er talking to Yushu, and her depressed mood disappeared.

Anyway, individuals have their own personal fate. She told everything she should have told, and those children didn't look like they were blessed, and with Xu Erlang and his wife taking care of them, she was at ease with them.

Gui Niangzi looked at the board and asked Yushu again, "Will you stay here for dinner today?" ”

Li Yushu's white face suddenly turned red.

If the master had said so in the past, she would have complied. After all, she has been playing under the nose of her master since she was a child, and she couldn't be more familiar with her master, who is like her second mother.

But today is not possible, today is a marriage between the two families, and it is said that she should not come. But because Master Xu's family and the master's family had a very close relationship, the master specially called her to come over to meet people, and her father and mother also felt that she should be friendly with people, so she let her come over.

But it's enough to stay here for a day, and if you stay for dinner, I'm afraid you'll be told that you're not ashamed.

Li Yushu said, "Master, I'll go back and eat, my father and sister-in-law are afraid that they are all waiting for me." ”

"That's okay, let Wen Yun send you back."

After Ban'er moved to a new house, few people called him by his nickname anymore. When his parents introduced him, they all said that his name was Qian Wenyun. Now his parents call him by his nickname, and the rest of the people don't know that he has such a rough name.

Ban'er is very gentle, and there is a bookish atmosphere all over his body. He obviously has no blood relationship with Master Qian and Gui Niangzi, but Xu has been together for a long time, and his appearance has a bit or two of imagination with Master Qian, and with the same Wen Jun temperament of father and son, no one believes that they are not father and son.

Ban'er listened to his mother's words, and lowered his head in amazement, but the upturned corners of his mouth had already betrayed his good mood at this time. "Okay, mother, I'll send the jade book back now."

The two men and women with red cheeks walked out slowly, and at this time they thought to themselves at the same time, why should two families live next to each other? Wouldn't they be able to stay together longer if they were farther away?

After Jin Niang and the others returned to Xu's Mansion, dinner was ready. However, a few people had used pastries and fruits in Qianfu today, and they were not very hungry now, so they reluctantly used some and asked the maid to serve the rest of the dishes.

After a few children went back, Jinniang freshened up and lay on the bed tiredly. Let's just say that she is the most reluctant to go out as a guest, even if she goes to a very close home, she will be very tired. But there is no way, like this kind of relatively close relationship, it is still necessary to maintain it, otherwise there will be no contact for a long time, and the previous good relationship will be wasted.

Because she was a little tired on this day, Jin Niang curled up in Xu Erlang's arms early and fell asleep.

After breakfast the next day, Brother Rong and Jin Niang talked about going out to buy some books, and Jin Niang thought of something later, so she went to find Xu Erlang.

Xu Erlang didn't go out today, but read all the files related to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the study. He'd seen those things more than once, but now he continued to look at them, wondering if he had to memorize them all in his mind.

"I'm thinking of opening a bookstore in the capital and putting away all our treasures over the years, what do you think?"

Xu Erlang raised his eyebrows in surprise, he put down the scroll in his hand and stood up and walked to Jin Niang, leading her to the beauty couch on the side to sit down, "You don't want to build a library pavilion?" What's the matter with opening a bookstore, do you still want to sell those books? ”

Jin Niang shook her head, and Xu Erlang also knew that this was obviously impossible.

Those books are all carefully collected by them over the years, and even if they give them a high price, Jin Niang will not sell them.

"I didn't open a bookstore to sell books, I thought I could exchange books."

Jin Niang's specific plan is to put a batch of books to test the water first. Those books are not for sale, but they can be viewed for free, and of course, those who are interested can go over and copy the books in exchange for two hours of free reading time every day, and there is already a free supply of tea. If someone really likes it and wants to take it home and treasure it, then copy it themselves. Or take a book that isn't in the store and exchange it.

On the one hand, this provides convenience for poor students, and on the other hand, it also accelerates the pace of collecting books, which is like killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, there is also the advantage that the books are placed in the bookstore, and someone else can be hired to take care of them in the provincial government.

Books are valuable, and the quality of paper in these years is not all good. In addition, most of the houses are made of wood, so it is easy to get wet when you store things in rainy days. It's really a careless one, and the book is going to get moldy.
