Chapter 202: Career
Cai Qiuniang took her son to He's house for lunch and then went back.
Zhangzhu has a lot of doubts about the sudden marriage of the Xun and Cai families, but it is not easy to catch Shuanghua to inquire in detail, after all, in the impression of others, she is an orphan girl from that small place in Yangyang, and she is not familiar with the affairs of the capital at all. However, after more than ten days of inquiring about these things, she was worried that the He family would be suspicious, so now she had to give up the idea of inquiring and temporarily shift her focus to the soon-to-open medical center.
After four or five days of early and late return, the leap student finally decorated the house, and he asked Zhangzhu to see it himself.
"Financial resources are limited, so we can only do this at present, and there is still a lack of a signboard, so it will be more decent to hang the signboard."
The palm beads crossed the threshold, the doors and windows were repainted, the walls were painted, and a table was made according to her request, with a few chairs, a few benches, and a bamboo bed against the wall. On the other side, a row of lattices was made against the wall, and those lattices were also required by the palm beads, which would be used to store various medicines in the future.
Coming out of this room, there is a smaller room attached to it, and it has no windows, making it even darker. It's not suitable for people, so it's better to use it as a warehouse. Out of this dimly lit house was the back eaves, and out of the door was a gutter with foul stagnant water and a foul smell.
Zhangzhu pointed to the ditch and said, "Find a way to improve this place, otherwise it will affect our lives." ”
Runsheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, I'll take care of this place in a while." ”
Stepping on a bluestone slab, she saw a somewhat simple courtyard, there was a tall camphor tree in the courtyard, the branches had stretched over the courtyard wall, the courtyard wall was crawling with green leaves, it looked like a creeper, and the courtyard gate was also half covered by the leaves of the creeper, revealing the lower half of the rust-red wooden door.
When they entered the courtyard, the houses were a little low, and the grass in the yard was knee-high.
"The yard hasn't had time to be cleaned yet, but the house has been cleared, and the girl can live in it even if she moves in now. But there aren't many of us, and it's a bit big to live in. ”
Zhangzhu saw that the bed tents were readily available, and there was no shortage of pots and pans in the kitchen. It's not hard to live here right away.
"Let's move here tomorrow, it's not good to always disturb their family."
Runsheng hurriedly agreed.
The palm beads looked around, here is a little broken, but it is not impossible to force people, all the deeds have been handled, just waiting to move in.
"By the way, girl, is the name of our medical hall still the name of Baicaotang?"
Zhangzhu thought for a while and said: "We don't sell medicine, the name Baicaotang is no longer suitable, let's make a signboard of 'Fu's Medical Hall', it's simple, don't have gilded words." ”
Runsheng hurriedly agreed.
After Zhangzhu returned to the He family, she explained to the He family that she was going to move out, she lived with the He family for more than ten days, the He family treated her well, and she was embarrassed to rely on it anymore. The two wives of the He family tried their best to keep her, and when Shuanghua heard that she was leaving immediately, she was a little depressed.
"In the future, if there is a place in the house that can help, find someone to send a message, I will come."
Mrs. He also asked people to clean up some unused tables, chairs, curtains and other things at home, and sent them over there. The palm beads showed Mrs. He's affection. The next day was April 17, and Zhangzhu officially moved out of He's house. She really has to rely on herself to gain a foothold in the capital now. Only by settling down can we plan for the next step.
Runsheng and Liao Kai helped clean up the gutter, and the weeds in the yard were removed, which looked really tidy. Now the three of them, on the first day of their arrival, Zhangzhu went to the street to buy rice, flour, and tobacco, and bought a piece of meat and some vegetables. Come back and cook your own meals.
Well, it's not so much trouble to cook for three people. She didn't know how to cook at all, but she learned everything during the half year she spent at Jingci'an.
Liao Kai discussed with Zhangzhu after eating: "Miss Fu, why don't I go to Naxi City tomorrow to find someone to ask for a tooth, and pick a suitable maid to come back, if the girl thinks that the maid is not good, choose a mother-in-law who has done things." Do you have to cook your own food when you're busy? I'm afraid I won't be able to get busy at that time. ”
Zhangzhu felt that Liao Kai was reasonable, she thought about it carefully, and agreed: "Then find a woman of about thirty to come back, and the maid will not need it for the time being." Let her help take care of the family's affairs. ”
Liao Kai pondered this matter with his heart.
The three of them agreed on the official opening date, everything was ready, and Zhangzhu was about to officially start practicing medicine in Beijing. Although she had gone out with her mother to see people before, this time the nature was completely different from the past, and she had more important things to do.
The palm beads gave each of the two people a purse, and the purse contained a few taels of broken silver.
"Take the money and buy two ready-to-wear clothes and two pairs of shoes. It's almost summer, and you don't have any proper clothes, so it's not good. And Liao Ye, I'm afraid that I will have to work hard for you for a few days, and when everything goes well here, I will let you go back to Shoufeng, please bear more. ”
Liao Kai hurriedly said: "Miss Fu, don't care, I often help the second master run errands, and I am often not at home, and my family has long been used to it." The second master asked me to take care of Miss Fu, so Miss Fu must not be polite, she should be sent. After all, there's only one leap student here. ”
So they stayed there, and Zhangzhu took the oil lamp and went back to the house where she lived, and she covered the door. Liao Kai lived in the same house as Runsheng, and their house was on the west side. She lived in one of the rooms on this side of the main house.
There is a table in the room, this table is still given by the He family, and a bed is moved back by Liao Kai. The bed was covered with new bedding and hung with gray-white gauze tents.
She placed the lamp on the table, and there were several books on the table that she had brought back from Shoufeng.
After a tiring day, she no longer had the energy to flip through the books, so she directly blew out the lamp and prepared for bed.
Zhangzhu was worried about the affairs of the Xie family, and now Song Jinfei, who came to the capital and the camp in the north, couldn't get in touch, so he couldn't talk to General Wei, and things became clueless again. However, it does not mean that there is no progress, and the Cai family, who married the Xun family, may become a new breakthrough.
But how to get in touch with the Cai family next? She only knows Cai Qiuniang alone, and these are far from enough.
Zhangzhu slept soundly this night, and the next morning morning, when she combed her hair and went out, Runsheng had already prepared breakfast for the three of them, and Zhangzhu praised him for his ability.
Liao Kai smiled: "You can marry a daughter-in-law." ”
"Forget it, I can't even support myself, and I don't dare to think about marrying a daughter-in-law."
Zhangzhu listened to the conversation between the two, and she ate silently, pondering how to go next.
