Chapter 152: Planning and Preparation

Hearing this, Zhilan's face suddenly stiffened slightly, and her heart was very unhappy. After all, she was pampered and raised, and she had never seen a few people who spoke so freely. She also knew that she was young and easy to be looked down upon, but she never expected that this doctor would say it so directly, completely ignoring the face of others. But in front of her father-in-law, she couldn't say anything, so she had to reluctantly put on the smile on her face that had not yet dissipated, and pretended to glance out of the window inadvertently.

Zhan Wenbing pointed at Naqing Xiaoheng and said with a smile: "You really haven't changed, this mouth is still so annoying." I'm telling you, that's how shallow you are. Then he pointed at Zhilan and said: "My daughter-in-law, don't look at her young age, I didn't blow it, her medical skills are not comparable to ordinary people, I'm afraid that even you can't match her." ”

Zhilan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Daddy, you have a good reputation, where can Lan'er afford it." ”

Zhan Wenbing said with a smile: "Why can't you afford it." Sit down, sit down. Xiao Qi, quickly take out the pre-division tea and make it for the guests. The little guy hurriedly answered the call to boil water and sencha.

Qing Xiaoheng chose a seat at random and sat down, stretched his lame leg and said, "Before the tea, you are more and more able to enjoy it." Then he looked at Zhilan and asked, "It's a little awkward for such a little child to call a doctor, I'll still call you young lady." I heard that the young lady's maiden family is from the capital? ”

Zhilan saw that this person's actions were full of arrogance, not like the bearing that an elder should have, so she was even more unhappy in her heart, and only nodded lightly and replied: "Exactly." ”

Qing Xiaoheng also saw that Zhilan was a young and vigorous master, and then said with a smile: "Young lady, don't think that I don't like what I say, practice medicine, why do you say it's okay?" It is necessary to travel the world and do it yourself, so that you can achieve the unity of knowledge and action, and know all kinds of diseases well. What you have seen in the book may not be all right. If you don't see and try a lot of symptoms, and just follow the rigid routine of medical scholars, wouldn't it be a mistake for people's lives? I look at the young lady is only fourteen or fifteen years old, I must have read a lot of medical books, maybe more than me, but you are a girl raised in the boudoir, how much of the world can you see? You know, human life is at stake. ”

Zhan Wenbing couldn't sit still when he heard it, and he couldn't interject a few times, so it was easy for him to finish speaking, and he was about to argue a few words for his daughter-in-law, but he saw Zhilan and said with a happy and convincing face: "What Dr. Qing said is extremely true, in fact, this is what the younger generation has always thought. In the past, when I was in the capital, my parents were afraid that going out to practice medicine would damage their reputation, so they never had the opportunity to come out to practice. Now fortunately, my father and husband are considerate, and I can make up for the regrets in my heart. But the younger generation does not dare to be arrogant and self-respecting because of how many books they have read, and they are sincerely afraid of getting this opportunity, and naturally they will not take the patient's life as a child's play. ”

Her words were both humble and sincere, but also soft and powerful to refute Dr. Qing's prejudice against her, and Zhan Wenbing nodded frequently when she heard it, and she didn't plan to say anything more. Naqing Xiaoheng just groaned silently when he heard it, and he didn't seem to think so.

At this time, the little man had already brought the tea and sent it to everyone's table. Qing Xiaoheng was the first to pick it up and blow it lightly twice and drank it, and then took the black tea cup in his hand and played with it, saying: "This tea tastes too light, I prefer to eat Longjing before the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhan Wenbing said with a smile: "If you hadn't come to me, your son would only be afraid of drinking tea residues outside, and he would pick and choose." Then he said, "Let's talk about it, this time your leg is also lame, and you can't walk the dart." Since I promised to come to Lancaotang, I have to make a home in Hangzhou. ”

I saw that Qing Xiaoheng smiled faintly and said: "I am alone, what kind of home is there, just make room for me behind the medicine hall." ”

Zhan Wenbing sighed and said, "That's too cold, isn't it?" Why don't I lend you some money and redeem your ancestral house first?" ”

Zhilan listened to the two of them talking, and always felt that she was a little inappropriate here, so she caught a crack and said, "Daddy, Doctor Qing, there are still some things on Lan'er's side, so let's take the first step." ”

Zhan Wenbing knew that she was evasive, so he said with a smile: "Go ahead." Anyway, I also saw Dr. Qing today, and I won't be able to go to the medicine hall when the time comes. Qing Xiaoheng also smiled and nodded at her.

So Zhilan gave another salute to the two of them, and then left with the painting heart. As soon as he went out of the door, he didn't go far, and Huaxin said quite unevenly: "Young lady, that doctor looks like a poor half-old man, but he talks like that, he really doesn't know how to lift. ”

Zhilan smiled and said: "At first, I was not used to him, but then I realized that this person is not an ordinary person, and he is quite knowledgeable when he speaks, otherwise my father-in-law would not have specially invited him to Lancaotang." ”

Huaxin shrugged his nose disdainfully and said, "Anyway, the slave maid just can't see his arrogance, besides, no matter how unusual he is, he can't compare to you, the young lady." ”

Zhilan pushed her and smiled: "This is a bit of a mistake, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Huaxin grinned and squeezed under the umbrella and said, "It's all drenched!" ”

Zhan Qingqing learned from Qi Han that Lancaotang was about to open in the near future, so she complained that Zhilan didn't know her, and hurriedly returned to Zhan's house. Although everything is smooth after her marriage, she is often idle at home and doesn't know what to do. Qi Han's eldest brother Qi Yu also married his sister-in-law Liu two years ago, that Liu was born in a small merchant family, and helped the family manage the accounts when she was a child, and she practiced good skills, so after she got married, the affairs in the inner courtyard were gradually handed over to her to take care of. Although Zhan Qingqing has the heart to help, the Liu family is extremely strong and does not want others to share affairs, plus she has done everything well, so Zhan Qingqing has nowhere to interfere.

Therefore, when she learned that Zhilan was going to open a pharmacy, she moved a little bit and wanted to do something with Zhilan. First, I can be a companion with Zhilan to relieve boredom, and secondly, I can also gain more knowledge and experience. Her husband, Jun Qi Han, is the one who will be admitted to the sergeant and become an official sooner or later, and she will be separated in the future, but she will have to manage the accounts and do things alone? It's better to plan ahead of time, so as not to be at a loss when you get it.

When Zhan Qingqing told Zhilan about this idea, she also got Zhilan's approval. However, because Zhan Shaofeng had already hired Mr. Bookkeeper, it was difficult to resign the person, so the two of them came up with a solution. Since the Nalan Thatched Cottage is divided into two courtyards, Zhan Qingqing will do the accounts of the inner courtyard, and at the end of the month, the account books will be handed over to the account room, and the accounts of the outer courtyard will be accounted for together. In this way, it not only shared some affairs for the bookkeeper, but also made a comparison between the accounts of the inner and outer houses.

After deciding on these things, the two girls who wanted to show their talents waited for the opening of the medicine hall every day.
