Chapter 21: A True Man, a Good Man
"That's right." Ling Chi nodded: "I haven't seen the title deed and house deed since I got the title deed and house deed that day." But the dim sum sent by Li Zhutou is delicious, thank you. ”
"It should be, it should be." Li Gongfu said with some embarrassment: "I didn't know that Ling Gongzi was a master that day, and I neglected Ling Gongzi, but I didn't expect Ling Gongzi to be broad-minded, not only didn't care about me, but also helped me so much, I should thank you for being reasonable." ”
Ling Chi smiled slightly: "Li Zhutou is polite, I just have a good time." ”
When the two were chatting, the knock on the door sounded again, and Li Gongfu paused, and said, "It must be my brother-in-law who is back, Ling Gongzi will sit down for a while, and I will open the door." ”
Ling Chi nodded with a smile.
Soon, the door opened, and Li Gongfu's voice came: "Hanwen, where are you going to play today?" ”
"Brother-in-law, I'm not playing, I'm giving a New Year's gift to the teacher." Xu Xian's voice came.
"Come in! Today there is a guest at home, come with me to meet the guest. ”
"Guests? What kind of guest makes my brother-in-law so important? ”
"The son of Qingbo Gate Ling Mansion, come with me."
Ling Chi listened to the conversation between the two and showed a playful smile.
Li Gongfu quickly pulled Xu Xian in: "Ling Gongzi, this is my brother-in-law Xu Xian, the character is Chinese." After reading the sage book for a few years, he is currently working as an apprentice in a pharmacy, and he will ask Ling Gongzi to take care of him in the future. ”
Ling Chi chuckled: "If you can let Li Zhutou say the words of care in front of me, it seems that Li Zhutou values this brother-in-law very much!" ”
Li Gongfu laughed dryly: "Hanwen is the only seedling of the Xu family, of course I hope that he can spread out for the Xu family in the future and glorify his ancestors." ”
Ling Chi smiled slightly and looked at Xu Xian carefully. Although he had already seen Xu Xian once, he didn't look at it carefully, and at this time, he saw that this Xu Xian was eight or nine points similar to Ye Tong, but his skin was darker and his body was stronger. Even if Ye Tong dresses up as a man, she has a sense of weakness that can't be concealed, and Xu Xian doesn't have it, but she is indeed clear-eyed, if she changes into women's clothes, she will be a proper women's clothing boss.
Ling Chi nodded and said with a smile: "Young Master Xu is very good-eyed, presumably many young girls like it!" ”
This sudden compliment made Xu Xian's face blush, and he hurriedly said: "Ling Gongzi has won the award, I am just a poor boy, how can there be a girl's family to like it." ”
Ling Chi shook his head and said, "It's not terrible to be poor, it's terrible to be poor and lazy and ambitious." Since you are an apprentice in a pharmacy, you must want to open your own pharmacy in the future, let me ask you, how long have you been studying? How did you learn? ”
"I've only been learning for three months, and I've just finished learning to identify drugs, and the next step is to learn the efficacy and the right medicine." Xu Xian said: "The teacher said that I have a good understanding and will be a good doctor in the future." ”
"That's good." Ling Chi nodded and said, "Not for a good look, but for a good doctor." If you can live countless people in the future, it is also a merit. I have some friendship with your brother-in-law, and since your brother-in-law has asked for me, I can't help but express it. Paused: "That's it! After you leave the school, I can pay to help you open a pharmacy, and in the future, 30% of the income of the pharmacy will go to me, and the rest will be yours. If you make more money in the future and want to buy the pharmacy, you can also negotiate with me, and I will not stop you. ”
"Oops! That's good! That's great! Li Gongfu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Hanwen, thank you Ling Gongzi soon." ”
Xu Xian didn't expect that Ling Chi was really willing to help him, and promised such a big benefit. This is equivalent to a modern medical student who has just studied for a few months, and there are local bigwigs who contribute money and shops, and only wait for him to open a pharmacy after graduation, and all he needs to pay is 30% of the main income, and he will make more money in the future, and he can also take the store down, so that the future income will be all his own.
This kind of good thing can basically be called the dream of a poor dick medical school student. Xu Xian didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity, and hurriedly bowed to Ling Chi: "Thank you Ling Gongzi for your generosity, Xu Xian will not disappoint Ling Gongzi." ”
"No courtesy." Ling Chi smiled slightly: "If you open a pharmacy, where do you want to open it?" ”
"If I have a choice, I hope not to be too far away from my sister and brother-in-law's house." Xu Xian said: "In this way, when you encounter an accident, you will have time to arrive." ”
"What nonsense!" Li Gongfu patted the back of Xu Xian's head: "Your sister and I are in good health!" What could be any surprises! ”
Xu Xian stumbled when he was photographed, and said with a wry smile: "Brother-in-law, I didn't mean that, I just want to be able to arrive in time when something happens." ”
"But if you really encounter an accident, you can really get to the scene as soon as possible." Ling Chi said: "It's okay, you can inquire around the neighborhood to find out where there are shops for sale, as long as you are satisfied, I will pay for it, just wait for Xu Xian to learn, and then open the medicine." ”
"Thank you, Young Master Ling." Xu Xian made a big gift again.
Li Gongfu smiled: "Okay, great, so that my brother-in-law can have an explanation for your sister and the late father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”
The atmosphere of "......" suddenly changed, Ling Chi, Su Mei, and Xiaoqing all looked at Li Gongfu with appreciative eyes, but Xu Xian had a sour nose and gave Li Gongfu a big salute: "Thank you brother-in-law for taking care of my sister and Hanwen over the years." ”
"Huh? Oops, what's this for? "Li Gongfu doesn't know which tendon is wrong with Xu Xian, why is he so grateful to himself all of a sudden?" Did you kid drink too much? ”
Li Gongfu's reaction showed the preciousness of his character, and Ling Chi said with emotion: "Li Zhutou, you are a real man, a good man. ”
"Ling Gongzi, what do you say? Why are you all so weird? What's going on? Li Gongfu became more and more puzzled: "Didn't you take me for a fool?" ”
There was silence, followed by laughter in the antechamber.
……
Soon, Xu Jiaorong, who brought refreshments, listened to Xu Xian's narration, and her eyes suddenly turned red, and she knelt down for Ling Chi: "Thank you Ling Gongzi." ”
"What is Mrs. Li doing? Get up. Ling Chi glanced at Xiao Qing, and Xiao Qing immediately got up and helped Xu Jiaorong up: "Mrs. Li, please get up, my young master doesn't like these vulgar courtesies." ”
Xu Jiaorong was already in tears: "I...... I really don't know how to thank Ling Gongzi, my Xu family is a man in Hanwen, if he can make a difference in the future, the ancestors of the Xu family will be able to laugh at Jiuquan. ”
Ling Chi sighed: "It's really the eldest sister like a mother, Xu Xian, you must study pharmacology well, be a good doctor in the future, don't let down your sister and brother-in-law's hard work." ”
Xu Xian was already with tears in his eyes, nodded again and again, and stepped forward to hold Xu Jiaorong's arm: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely study hard, and if I have a future in the future, I will definitely honor you and my brother-in-law." ”
"Just honor your sister, I don't need it." Li Gongfu said: "Our manly husband should have supported his family, my brother-in-law has no ability, I can't let your sister live a good life, you will have a future in the future, don't forget your sister." ”
"How so!" Xu Xian wiped his tears and said, "Brother-in-law, you are on an errand in the public gate, you must pay attention to safety, and you and your sister must grow old together." ”
"I love to hear that, hahaha." Li Gongfu laughed.
Ling Chi chuckled, he liked Li Gongfu's temperament more and more, this is a responsible man.
However, he helped Xu Xian not because he had any friendship with Li Gongfu, but to compensate.
Because of his appearance, the little shepherd boy 1,700 years ago did not save Bai Suzhen, so there was no such shemale love, Ling Chi had been an immortal official in the heavenly court for several years, and he had some understanding of karma, since he inadvertently robbed Xu Xian of the opportunity, he naturally wanted to compensate Xu Xian.
It's like Bai Suzhen obviously wants to get a positive result, but because of the kindness she was saved by the little shepherd boy 1,700 years ago, she had to repay it. If you want to become an immortal and attain the Tao, you must have all the cause and effect, otherwise even if you can become an immortal and attain the Tao, your future achievements will be difficult.
To put it simply, cause and effect is a quagmire, and if you don't get out of the quagmire, don't think about moving forward, not only will you not be able to walk, but you will sink deeper and deeper. Therefore, people who cultivate immortals pay special attention to cause and effect, even if Ling Chi has a kitchen god system, it will not be affected, but if he gets a Bai Suzhen, even if it is out of compensation psychology, it is necessary to give Xu Xian a little help.
It's just a shop, it's really nothing.
……
Not long after sitting at Gongfu Li's house, Ling Chi left with Su Mei and Xiaoqing, originally Xu Jiaorong wanted to let them eat before leaving, but Ling Chi shook his head, and then Xiaoqing put on a black face for him: "My young master is not used to eating things outside." ”
This made Xu Jiaorong very embarrassed, but she also expressed her understanding. After all, what good things can ordinary people eat at home? It's nothing more than coarse tea and light rice, although it's almost the New Year, you can eat some meat, and the taste is just average, and Ling Chi lives in Lingfu, and he must eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, so he is naturally not used to eating outside.
"Then we won't leave Ling Gongzi, Ling Gongzi will go slowly."
Ling Chi smiled and said, "If you like the shop, go to the Ling Mansion and say it, and I will send someone to buy the shop." ”
"Thank you, Young Master Ling."
After seeing Ling Chi and the three of them leave, Xu Jiaorong sighed with emotion: "Ling Gongzi is really our nobleman, Gongfu, if Ling Gongzi encounters some trivial things that need to run errands in the future, you have to do a little more effort." ”
"You don't care about this, I'll arrange it." Li Gongfu said: "Let's enter the house!" I haven't eaten yet, I'm starving. ”
If it had been before, Xu Jiaorong would definitely say irritably: "I know how to eat." ”
But now, Xu Jiaorong said quite gently: "I'll go cook." Hanwen, it's cold, you go get a pot of wine, and drink two glasses with your brother-in-law in a while. ”
Xu Xian nodded: "I'll go now." ”
Li Gongfu: ⊙ (?◇?)?
What's going on today? Am I dreaming?
Li Gongfu doubts the .jpg of life
……
Ling Chi thought that buying a shop would definitely be a matter of the New Year, but he didn't expect that the next morning, Li Gongfu ran over: "Ling Gongzi, I have found a suitable shop." ”
“……”
It also happened that there was a boss who opened a grocery store here in another place who was very old, and he wanted to return to his roots, so he wanted to sell the store out, but the price had not been negotiated.
"Two hundred taels of silver?" Ling Chi nodded: "Yes." ”
In terms of the housing prices in Qiantang County, this price is quite fair, and Ling Chi has no intention of counter-offering, so he directly took out twenty taels of gold and handed it to Li Gongfu: "Li Zhutou go and buy the store!" Just bring me the paperwork and the title deed later. ”
"This ...... Ling Gongzi, aren't you going? Li Gongfu looked at the twenty taels of gold and was a little nervous. ”
Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "I can trust you." ”
This sentence gave birth to an impulse for Li Gongfu to die as a confidant. Taking the gold with both hands, Li Gongfu said, "Don't worry, Ling Gongzi, I will definitely handle this matter well." ”
Ling Chi nodded with a smile.
……
Li Gongfu is a trustworthy person, plus he is the head catcher of the Yamen, so he is naturally easy to talk in the Yamen, and it didn't take much time for Li Gongfu to take down this shop and make a transaction voucher in the Yamen. Before evening, Li Gongfu returned to Lingfu with the deed of the shop: "Young Master Ling, the shop has been bought, and the formalities have been completed." This is the deed, and I also ask Ling Gongzi to look at it. ”
"Li Zhutou has worked hard." Seeing Li Gongfu's dusty appearance, Ling Chi said to the maid: "Take Li Zhutou to wash up, and prepare a table of wine and food, I will entertain Li Zhutou." ”
"Ling Gongzi, no need, no need." Li Gongfu hurriedly refused: "This is my business, and I don't need to drink or eat." ”
Ling Chi smiled slightly: "My invitation, Li Zhutou also has to refuse?" ”
"......" Li Gongfu had nothing to say, hugged his fists and bowed his hands, and followed the maid to wash.
Ling Chi looked at the deed, this is a two-storey shop, each floor has a shop of 80 square meters, the location is very good, there are households on the left and right, the flow of people is enough, as long as the medicine shop is open, there should be no fewer guests to come to see the doctor and take medicine.
The pharmaceutical industry has always been a profiteering industry, even if it is a kind-hearted doctor, who prescribes medicine to the poor, the profit is at least more than doubled, and if you treat the rich, the profit will be immeasurable.
Xu Xian is not famous for studying, if he learns medicine well, it is not difficult to be a local famous doctor, Xu Xian in the TV series does have the potential to become a famous doctor, but it is a pity that not long after his son was born, his wife was pressed under the Leifeng Tower, in order to let his wife come out early, he had to hand over his son Xu Shilin to his sister and brother-in-law to raise, and he went to Jinshan Temple to become a monk.
Although there was a reason for the incident, Ling Chi really didn't like Xu Xian's choice.
According to modern values, the more accidents occur at home, the more Xu Xian, as a man, should take on the responsibility of being a husband and father, instead of throwing his son away to his sister and brother-in-law and running away to become a monk himself. There is no responsibility at all.
In comparison, although Li Gongfu is a big boss, whether as a husband or a father, he has taken on the corresponding responsibilities. If Ling Chi was a woman and wanted to choose a husband, he would definitely choose Li Gongfu instead of Xu Xian.
