An hour later, Jiang Xinyao touched her sour neck and raised her head, the shock in her eyes was still there.

"The Xiao family is really a century-old doctor. Xiao Han, did you earn this family business? ”

Xiao Han leaned on the brocade mat and said with a smile: "It's not all me, the Xiao family has been a doctor for generations, passed down to my grandfather, and has gone through five generations." My great-grandfather had five sons and two daughters, and three sons were grandchildren. Only my grandfather had a talent for medicine, and the others were not equal. My grandfather studied medicine at the age of three, treated others at the age of fifteen, and took charge of the hospital at the age of twenty-six. Great-grandfather felt that the tree was a big move, so he retired from the hospital early, and simply divided the family business cleanly. My grandfather's two brothers-in-law got most of the family business, and the two brothers who came out of the concubine also got the family property, but my grandfather only got this house, tens of thousands of taels of silver and some secret prescriptions. ”

Xin Yao pondered carefully and said: "The place of the Tai Hospital, connected to the imperial court and the harem, if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe for the Nine Clans." My great-grandfather had to do this as a last resort. And for those who practice medicine, the most important thing is the prescription, so it seems that the great-grandfather is also eccentric.

Xiao Han smiled bitterly: "You are the only one who talks like this." To others, it was a different story. My grandfather only had two daughters under his knees, and there was no successor, and this one was extinct, and he was able to share this family wealth, and his grandfather's door was quickly deserted. This time, we held a happy event in our house, and we only sent congratulatory gifts and had a banquet according to the number of gifts. ”

Xin Yao narrowed her eyes and said, "This is exactly what Grandfather wants." My grandfather's two brothers are still alive today? ”

Xiao Han said again: "They have all passed away, and when I was here, I often moved around, because of my mother and me, the three brothers had some quarrels, and they had less contact, and after this death, they basically didn't move around." ”

Xin Yao listened to him vaguely and didn't ask much. Laughing: "What happened later? ”

"Later. After my grandfather separated from his family, he devoted himself to studying medical skills, and although he worked hard in Tai Hospital, his life was stable. I grew up in the Du family. With the second brother, sixteen, Tianxiang has always played the best. At that time, the second brother and sixteen had a very difficult time in the palace, and they were restricted everywhere. The second brother found me, and each raised 30,000 taels of silver, and the Xiao family invested in the prescription, and the second brother contributed and contributed fifty-fifty. After seven or eight years of operation, there is today's Qingfeng Hall. ”

As early as in Suzhou Mansion, Xin Yao had heard of the name Qingfengtang, which was a pharmacy for the rich and noble, and only caught medicine. Don't see a doctor.

Ancestral secret recipes, exquisite processing and burning technology, and reliable medicinal efficacy are the foundation of its foothold, and they are distributed all over the major state capitals. But those who have some family backgrounds have only taken medicine in Qingfeng Hall in recent years.

The medicine of the Jiang Mansion throughout the year must come from Qingfeng Hall. Xin Yao took his family's medicine for several years, but she never thought that one of the owners of Qingfengtang was her current husband.

Xiao Han said: "The second brother and I are because of our identity. It's inconvenient to come forward, although my grandfather resigned only two years ago, he has long been out of the clinic to see a doctor, and secretly takes care of all matters in Qingfengtang. ”

Xin Yao pondered and said: "Your second brother opened this Qingfeng Hall with you because of a lack of silver, but Qingfeng Hall is just a little profit. For his grand cause, it is just a drop in the bucket, and now I am afraid that I can't look down on it, this hand-shaking shopkeeper is really comfortable. ”

Xiao Han smiled: "The second brother is a person who does big things, how can these little things bother him?" Just sit back and wait for the money to be paid every year. I'm only secretly helping. On the bright side, the owner of Qingfeng Hall is Lu Chenxiao, whose grandfather saved his life back then, and he is also loyal to the Xiao family. You'll see you when you're free! ”

"Since Qingfengtang has the relationship with your second brother, why don't you eat the medicine in the palace?"

"When the first queen mother was still there, she pointed fingers at all things in the court, and the queen mother gave her mother's family a piece of medicine, layer by layer, peeling it off, and the silver that could fall in her pocket was pitiful, and the second brother and I were too lazy to think about it."

Jiang Xinyao smiled secretly, it was not that she was too lazy to think about it, but that she had fattened the pigs, and she would be able to go under the knife in the future.

She said with a smile: "Qingfengtang has both grandfather's prescription and the second prince in control, so it doesn't matter if it has anything to do with the palace or not. That's fine, and you have to make someone else drink the soup if you eat meat. By the way, Xiao Han, why don't you study medicine? ”

Since the two got engaged, Jiang Xinyao buried this question in her heart and was curious.

Xiao Han frowned and smiled bitterly: "This is the biggest difference between me and Tianxiang. ”

"Oh?"

"He has been very talented in medicine since he was a child, and when he saw medical books, he was so obsessed with medicinal materials that he didn't even want to eat. I, on the contrary, would be dizzy when I read a medical book, and I really didn't have the slightest interest. For this, I was beaten by my grandfather when I was a child. At that time, my mother and aunt were so different, and then my grandfather saw that I was really rotten wood that could not be carved, so he went with me! ”

Xin Yao burst out laughing and said, "When I was a child, my grandfather said that all the ladies of the rich and noble families knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so they forced me to learn the piano, but as soon as I heard the sound of the piano, I wanted to sleep. In the end, my grandfather sighed when he couldn't help it, and playing the piano to me was no different from playing the piano to the cow. ”

Xiao Han listened with interest: "My daughter-in-law is already so smart, what does it matter if she can play the piano?" I don't like to hear it anyway......"

Halfway through the words, he heard a slight cloud outside: "Uncle has a visitor." ”

Xiao Han shook his daughter-in-law's jade hand, then put it down, straightened his clothes, explained a few words, and went to the front yard.

Xin Yao took the box where Xiao Han hid his private room and opened it. There were a total of 80,000 taels of silver tickets and 23 gold bars in the box, Xin Yao took out a gold bar and flipped it up and down, checked the weight, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so she put it back.

Xin Yao closed her eyes and secretly thought about it.

……

Somewhere in Yiyuan's bedroom, Yan Sixteen opened his eyes in a daze, but what caught his eyes was a face that couldn't be more handsome, he closed his eyes again, and slowly recalled yesterday's madness.

Yan Sixteen gently hugged someone who was sleeping, and sighed with satisfaction in his heart, feeling that a heart was still floating in the clouds.

It's been seven or eight years, although the two have the same mind, but they are still going around and around, if it weren't for Ah Yuan's more drinks of water and wine yesterday, he was intentionally or unintentionally dragging ......

Thinking of this, Yan Sixteen felt that there was a hot current surging down in his lower abdomen, and he just wanted to make a move, but he heard the little guy Qingfeng who was carrying him outside call a few words, so he had to rest his thoughts, kissed the person in his arms, and said softly: "Have a good rest, I'll go back to the house first, and come back later, you wait for me!" ”

Xu Hong couldn't pretend anymore, so he had to snort lightly and turn his back on his face.

Yan Sixteen knew that he was shy and didn't care at all, so he carefully tucked the quilt for him, gently pinched his ear with his hand, quickly put it on, and looked at the person on the bed for a long time after being dressed and stupid, and left the door ruthlessly.

After Xu Hongyuan left, he hooked the corners of his mouth and opened his eyes.

……

Jiang Xinyao slept really sweetly this afternoon, if it weren't for Weiyun shouting a few times, she really didn't want to get up from the bed. Dressed up, the master and servant went to the council chamber.

Xin Yao sat on it, and there was Xiao Chong, the chief manager, Xiao Ji, the second manager, and a bunch of stewards, girls, and mothers-in-law standing below.

In front of everyone, Xiao Zhong solemnly handed over the account books and treasury keys in the house to the grandmother.

Seeing this, everyone's hearts were shocked, and their faces became more respectful.

Weiyun saw that the eldest grandmother picked up the teacup, stepped forward and said, "Manager Xiao, the eldest grandmother asked, where are the people of the Qiu family now?" ”

Xiao Zhong lowered his head, but said in a loud voice: "Grandma, the people of the Qiu family have already been beaten." ”

As soon as this came out, there was silence in the council room, and even a needle dropped on the ground could be heard clearly.

On an errand in Xiao Mansion, who doesn't know the Qiu family? That's the person that even Manager Xiao has to retreat. Qiuyang and Qiuxia are two brothers and sisters, one in the inner courtyard and the other in the outer courtyard, and they are the most favored people around the uncle. The Jade couple is in charge of the old lady's pharmacy, who dares not to stammer, not to please?

When the big grandmother entered the door, it only took half a day to beat the most favored family in the Xiao Mansion out, it seems that the sky of the Xiao Mansion has changed.

On a cold day, everyone in the hall broke out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Zhong led the people in the house to the eldest grandmother one by one, kowtowed, and reported to the house. There are few masters in the Xiao Mansion, and there are not many people, there are only fifty or sixty people in total, and it is just a time for a cup of tea.

Xin Yao put down the teacup and was silent for a long time before her red lips opened lightly: "Today is the first time we have met, everyone recognizes people, and we can get along well in the future." The old lady handed over this home to me, and I only had one request, to be honest and be an errand and be a man in my duty. Except for some changes in the kitchen, what other people used to do and what they do now. You are all old men of the Xiao Mansion, and the rules of the Xiao Mansion are naturally clearer than mine, so I won't say more, a few managers will stay, and the others will go down. ”

Everyone saluted the grandmother and said goodbye one by one.

The composition of the Xiao Mansion is quite simple, Xiao Chong, the head of the whole house, Xiao Ji, the second head of Xiao Ji, Xiao Qiang, the head of the account, Xiao Gang who is in charge of the treasury, Xiao Liu who is in charge of rice, flour, grain and oil, Xiao Huantong who is in charge of needles and threads, Xiao Ding who is in charge of the garden, and Ding Yi, the head of the nursing home.

Because there are no female dependents in the Xiao Mansion, the people who stay and stand in front of Xin Yao are all gentlemen.

Jiang Xinyao twisted her sour waist and smiled at Xiao Chong: "Manager Xiao, the big and small things in the house, do a good job, the reward is the subordinate, if you don't do a good job, I will only punish you alone, are you willing?" ”

Xiao Zhong was shocked, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Just by the orders of the eldest grandmother." ”

Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, there is a radish and a pit, there is a person in charge above, which radish is wrong, you just have to ask the person in charge." The steward went to the turnip again and questioned him. If it really doesn't work, just change the radish in this pit to another, and if it doesn't work to change one, change it to the second one. It's only three things, and the third time, I can only replace the useless steward. ”

Xiao Zhong smiled and said, "Grandma is smart! ”

Xin Yao said leisurely: "The capital is once a son of heaven and a courtier, if you want me to say, as long as that courtier is capable and obedient, who is willing to change it, Mr. Xiao, you say yes or no?" ”
