Soon the two returned to the medical hall of the previous watcher, and Dai Duyu saw that the fainted lady was talking to the old man, and her face was a little lost.

"Auntie, are you better?" Xu Mo asked.

The eldest lady changed her smile and said, "I'm much better for worrying about the two sons, thank you for saving me this morning." ”

"It's okay. ”

The old man: "I heard that the two sons went to the yamen, this is unacceptable, the power behind that corrupt official is not small." ”

What kind of power does it have? ”

The old man: "It is said that his brother-in-law is a servant of the criminal department, we can't afford to mess with it, fortunately, the two sons have come back safely, I advise you to leave quickly while the corrupt official has not repented." ”

Woman: "Yes, today my old woman and I are in the tense, so let's go away with the two sons." ”

Dai Duyu: "It's not a secret, my brother and I came out to find a shop today, and when we see the unevenness, let's pull out a knife to help, but I can't help my aunt, I'm really ashamed." ”

Woman: "What did the son say, this is talking about the store, the grocery store I talked about today I don't know if the two sons have a will?" ”

"We don't have any requirements, just keep the place clean." ”

Woman: "The place is indeed pure, and if the son does not dislike it, the old woman can lead the way for the son." ”

Dai Duyu: "Then thank you Auntie." ”

Woman: "Come with me, two sons, not far ahead." ”

Dai Duyu and Xu Mo followed this woman, and at this time the number of people on the street gradually increased, although Nancheng was a little biased, but there were also many families settled here, and Dai Duyu just found out.

The woman stopped at a shop with a half-open door, and there was no sign on the door, which must have just been demolished.

The woman slammed the door, and a man dressed as a man came out.

"How many of you came to see the shop?" The guy asked.

"These two sons want to see it." The woman said.

"Then please come in." The guy said enthusiastically.

"The two sons have arrived, please follow me in." The woman said politely to Dai Duyu and Xu Mo.

As soon as Dai Duyu went in, he found that it was quite big, and there was a second floor, because most of the shops were around, so looking out from the window was the characteristic tile house of Jiangnan, which was scattered and the scenery was good.

"Can I talk to the shopkeeper?" Dai Duyu said to the man.

The man hunched down and led Twilight into a room in the backyard on the first floor, where a man with gray hair was facing away from the door, not knowing what he was writing.

"Shopkeeper, this boy wants to talk to you about the store." The man said to the man.

When the man heard the man's voice, he came back to his senses, got up and bowed to Dai Duyu and Xu Mo, and Dai Duyu also saluted him.

"In Xia Daiyun, this is my brother Xu Mo."

"Old man Xu Wenqing, the two of you must have come to buy a shop, the old man will not increase the price, there is an urgent matter at home, plus the heavy taxes of the government, the old man offered 1,300 taels."

Dai Duyu looked at Xu Mo, she didn't know much about the market price here, Xu Mo gave her a reassuring look.

"Shopkeeper, the section of the road here is not very good, why is the bid so high." Xu Mo said.

"It's not that my lion is opening his mouth, it's just that there is an urgent matter at home, and this is so urgent, I really can't help it." Xu Wenqing sighed, and his eyes were a little haggard.

Dai Duyu didn't want to make it difficult for others, so he pulled Xu Mo and wanted to leave, but Xu Wenqing said, "The two sons stopped, this shop will give you a thousand taels, it really can't be lower, I just hope you can stay this guy." ”

"The shopkeeper's ......" The guy said that it was fake not to be moved, and looked at Xu Wenqing with a daze in his eyes.

"This guy has been with me for many years, and if it weren't for the fact that my son was seriously ill, how would I be willing to let him go." Xu Wenqing said with a sigh, his tone was full of helplessness.

"I wonder what your son's illness is?" Dai Duyu asked curiously, some diseases in ancient times were difficult to treat, but now medical skills are possible.

"Alas, it's better for Childe not to know, and if you want to blame, you can only blame him for his bad life."

"If you don't say it, you can only hurt him." Dai Duyu said coldly, she never believed in fate, only believed that people would win the day.

"Alas, things have to start a month ago, my son Xu Qing went on a night trip for no reason last month, and then he was in a trance, and he had a high fever in the past few days, and the old man could only sell this shop to him to ask for a doctor."

"Night outing for no reason?"

"Yes, one night I saw him go out, and he usually doesn't go out at night, but I was curious and followed, and when I saw him talking to himself by the river, I went back to the house."

"Has this been going on for a long time?"

"After a few nights, I told him he was still ignoring me, and I went back to the shop in a fit of rage."

"Who knows, the next day the nephew in the village came to say that my son was crazy, took off his clothes and ran under the tree." Xu Wenqing choked up.

"Can you take me to see it?" Dai Duyu said. Xu Wenqing agreed with the attitude of giving it a try.

"Shopkeeper Xu, can you give less of this silver tael, and then make up for it."

"It's okay"

"Auntie, let's take these fifty taels to save your son first." Dai Duyu said, there is a big trouble in the government today, and presumably the corrupt official will not dare to let go.

"Thank you, Childe, when my phantom comes out, I will let him go to work and pay back Childe." The woman said gratefully.

"Are you talking about Chen Huan?" Xu Wenqing asked.

"Exactly, thank you for the care of Shopkeeper Xu in the past few years." The woman said.

"I can't live with him, if it weren't for my shop, I wouldn't be able to survive, alas." Xu Wenqing was also a little ashamed.

"Auntie, let's go, shopkeeper Xu will take us there too." Xu Mo said.

The group dispersed, and Dai Duyu got into the ancient carriage. A yellow-brown horse, with a small cushion inside, Dai Duyu and Xu Mo sat in it a little crowded.

"Xu Mo, is my cheap father's official position big or the criminal department's servant?" Dai Duyu was a little unclear about this ancient official position, so he could only ask.

"This Tianyuan Kingdom belongs to the administration of the Prime Minister, and when you come down to Lord Shangshu, you will be the squire of the Criminal Department of the Six Ministries." Xu Mo explained.

"Wouldn't the corrupt official and the squire of the Criminal Department still have to salute when he sees me?"

"It is necessary according to etiquette, just as a concubine also has to salute when she sees her eldest daughter."

"What is the status of the merchant?"

"The status of merchants in the previous dynasty was not too high, but now the prime minister promotes heavy commerce, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, so now princes and nobles will also marry the daughters of merchants to obtain financial support."

"Is that the prosperity of Jiangnan or the prosperity of Kyoto?"

"Although Jiangnan is rich, Kyoto is prosperous because of the concentration of merchants from all over the world, and business is very hot."
