Tu Shizhu and Yan Lei were supposed to follow, but they were sent by Xie Yan to inquire about the recruitment of troops in Maoyuan Mansion.

Mu Zuo heard that Xie Yan was going to inquire about recruitment, and he was about to tell him, but Xie Yan waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to say anything.

"You go to inquire, although the recruitment time is not exactly the same in various places, but as soon as the first month passes, or the beginning of February, or the end of February, even if the recruitment notice has not been posted yet, there should be rumors, and the specific information should be heard, you two go and inquire."

Xie Yan said directly, his gaze swept over Tu Shizhu and Yan Lei's faces.

Tu Shizhu and Yan Lei answered and went.

After the two of them left, Song Xiaochi asked, "Does the wood steward know about recruitment?"

Mu Zuo said with a smile: "Our lord is the commander of the guard of Maoyuan Mansion, the military attache of Zheng Sanpin, although the recruitment of troops is not the master's responsibility, but this news is not a secret, the people of Maoyuan Mansion will know some as long as they pay attention to this news, but there is no small amount of detail."

Song Xiaochi nodded, she guessed that Mu Zuo should also know about this.

Cheng Shenyi followed up and asked, "Since he knows, why did Gongzi Xie let Brother Tu and Brother Yan go out to inquire?" Isn't this a blind toss? ”

The last sentence Cheng Shenyi said very little, but with Xie Yan's ear power, he naturally heard it clearly, he glanced at Cheng Shenyi, thinking that this guy would be Song Xiaochi's senior brother in the future, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he only said to Song Xiaochi: "Let's go, go and see the shop."

Lixi Street is located in the west of Maoyuanfu City, the traffic is developed, it is difficult to buy shops here, you need to try your luck, and the rent also requires a lot of rent.

When they went, the doors of the two facades were open, and there was a lean old man guarding the door, and when he saw Mu Zuo getting out of the carriage with Xie Yan and the others, he hurriedly greeted them.

"It's Young Master Cousin and Miss Song, right? Please say hello to the young master and Miss Song, this shop is exactly half a month ago to the lease period, and the lady did not rent it out again, saying that it is reserved for backup, so the inside is cleaned and clean, if the young master wants to find a craftsman to re-repair, or add something, you can call the little old man's and woodhousekeeper. ”

"Young Master Cousin, this is Uncle Shao, who helps Mrs. take care of the Grange shop, has been here in Maoyuan Mansion, Maoyuan Mansion is big to the official trends, small to the market, he knows it all, if Young Master Cousin wants to understand Maoyuan Mansion as soon as possible, it is best to ask Uncle Shao."

Mu Zuo introduced Uncle Shao's identity, and Song Xiaochi listened to it and felt that the Jiang family knew what Xie Yan was going to do, and he was looking for a helper for him.

Because the shop had been empty for half a month, Uncle Shao was originally going to wait for Jiang to come back and ask for her instructions, but he didn't expect that Jiang would go back to his parents' house and be captured by mountain bandits and delay his return.

Of course, the three Jiang's mother and son and Mrs. Liu's mother and son were taken captive by the bandits except for their families and their trusted subordinates, outsiders don't know, after all, Jiang's, Qu Wenshu and Mrs. Liu are all women, once the news of their abduction into the bandits' den spreads, how outsiders will spread about them, and what unbearable words will be put on them.

The words of people are terrifying, even Mrs. Houmen and Mrs. Guan's wife can't stand it.

Therefore, when Qujing, Hou of Yi'an, learned that his wife, daughter and son had been captured into the bandits' den by a group of mountain bandits in Hujugang, although he was furious and determined to eradicate this nest of mountain bandits, he had not acted until now, because he wanted to find a suitable reason and could not make people think of his wife and children in any way.

The topic turned back, since Xie Yan has accepted Mu Zuo's family, it doesn't matter if there is one more Uncle Shao, anyway, it can be used, as for Jiang's favor, Jiang is Xie Yan's aunt, and the relationship has always been good, and there is no need to return the favor, not to mention the grace of saving lives, what is it with only one shop and a few subordinates.

"Gongzi Xie, this shop is to be opened by our master and apprentice, it is always inappropriate to use Mrs. Hou's shop and subordinates, the so-called merit is not punished, and it was you who saved people at the beginning, and we did not contribute."

Cheng Lao looked at the spacious shops facing the street, the flow of people on the West Street, the value of these two shops can be imagined, he felt ashamed, and naturally wanted to refuse again.

"Cheng Lao doesn't need to worry, there will be a time to repay this favor in the future." Xie Yan said lightly.

Cheng Lao wanted to say something, Song Xiaochi suddenly thought of Qu Xinghui, who couldn't speak, and hurriedly said: "Master, this shop is excellent, you see that it is very suitable to open a medical hall here, there are quite a lot of residents around here, and it is not far from the city gate, if people outside the city are sick and go to the city to seek medical treatment, it is easy to find."

Song Xiaochi persuaded Cheng Lao, and Cheng Shenyi also persuaded: "Yes, Dad, I think it's very good here, if you are always uneasy, when we earn silver, we can just pay rent at the market price."

"Brother Dog, this is a good way." Song Xiaochi agreed.

Seeing that both the apprentice and the son agreed, and what they said did make sense, they finally nodded in agreement.

Cheng Lao nodded, and the next thing began to proceed in an orderly manner.

Cheng Lao was in charge of medical treatment, and there was nothing to do before the medical center opened.

Song Xiaochi was in charge of the procurement of medicinal materials, and Mu Zuo assisted her in this matter, Mu Zuo knew that they were going to open a medical hall, and he had already inquired about the major pharmaceutical companies in the city, and now he knew what to do.

As for Cheng Shenyi, he was given the most important and cumbersome work by Xie Yan, the layout inside and outside the medical hall, as well as the various furniture that needs to be added to the backyard, as well as the operation of the medical hall later, and a series of tasks such as the need to declare and register with the government were all handed over to Cheng Shenyi, of course, Cheng Shenyi, who is completely unfamiliar with this regard, has a leader - Uncle Shao.

Uncle Shao replied respectfully: "Don't worry, young master, although I am an old bone, but my memory is okay, and I haven't forgotten my skills, how those leather boys in the past under my hands transformed from hairy boys who didn't understand anything to being in charge of things, I remember them clearly, Master Cheng is smart and studious at a glance, I believe that he will be able to open the medical hall as soon as possible, and take care of it clearly and clearly."

Xie Yan nodded, "Then all this will be handed over to Uncle Shao, trouble Uncle Shao." ”

"Young Master Cousin, don't worry."

Listening to Xie Yan and Uncle Shao's words, Cheng Shenyi, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, suddenly felt a little bad inexplicably, but he didn't know why he felt like this.

In the next few days, Xie Yan was often not in the inn, and Song Xiaochi rarely saw others, until Uncle Shao told her that the backyard of the hospital had been cleaned up and she could live in, Song Xiaochi still did not see Xie Yan, according to Mu Zuo, Xie Yan came back at night, but he came back very late, and the time in the morning was uncertain, sometimes Song Xiaochi went out and he didn't get up, sometimes he left at dawn, and the two were so staggered.
