"Where does the old general live now?"

Hearing Ling Jun's praise for the old general, Liu Qingxin also had a good impression of him, and while giving the two horses who were coquettish to her, she asked Ling Jun about the old general's situation, "Body, are you still healthy?" ”

"The people who stay in the barracks all the year round, when they are old, which one doesn't have any problems here and there?!"

Listening to Liu Qingxin ask himself about the situation of the old general, Ling Jun first twisted his brows, and then, he was a little angry and distressed, and complained, "Listen to my mother, three years ago, the old man couldn't walk because of bone spurs in his knee, so he went back to his hometown...... Gout, dark wounds, etc., are all commonplace, I don't need to ask to know, that stubborn old man, when it comes to rainy and cold weather, he has to die uncomfortably! ”

"Do you know the old general?"

Listening to Ling Jun guessing the old general's recent situation, Liu Qingxin was silent for a while, and after a little consideration, he turned his head to look at Ling Jun and asked him, "If there is a way to save the old general from suffering, will you be willing to do it?" ”

"Of course! The old general is the hero of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Ling Jun didn't think about it, and when the words came out, he suddenly reacted, what Liu Qingxin said to him just now meant that it was more worthy of his happiness, "Lightheart, do you mean to ...... Can you, what does it mean to cure the old general's illness? ”

Bone spurs, gout, untreated dark wounds, even in the future, are diseases that bother many people, but these conditions. 【】As far as Liu Qingxin, an ancient doctor, is concerned, it is nothing at all, as long as she wants to cure. It's easy and easy to catch!

After thinking about it, it's not over 100 years old. Xiaobao, who couldn't leave the care of others, looked at the eyes eagerly, and hated to pick himself up in the next moment, throwing up the celebratory Lingjun, Liu Qingxin sighed helplessly, nodded lightly, and gave him a "conditional" reply, "It can be cured." Yes, it can be treated, but ...... I can't go to his hometown! Xiaobao is too young, on such a cold day, he can't be taken out, let him be at home, let the nurse and a group of mothers-in-law take care of it, I don't worry! ”

"Take it lightly! My good lady! It's so nice to have you! ”

got the answer he wanted, Ling Jun immediately happily picked up Liu Qingxin sideways and turned around three times on the spot. "The old general is a Jiangnan person, his hometown, not far from our town!" Wait for me to go back to the imperial capital. Yes, as soon as I go back to the imperial capital, I will go to find his son, tell him about his son, inform his family, bring him to this town, and seek medical treatment for you! ”

……

After the coachman Lao Wang put down the two of them, he unloaded the carriage of the sitting man and hung the cart on the rafters. I went straight to the timber market in the southeast of the town and bought all the materials for building the stables. He was followed by a carpenter he had found in the human market. This carpenter was obviously an old acquaintance of the coachman Lao Wang, and the two walked all the way and talked casually.

"Brother Wang, how are you doing these days?"

The carpenter sat sideways next to the coachman Wang, and when he saw that his brows were furrowed, he asked him with concern, "This new owner...... How are people? ”

"Mrs. is very generous, and she is also very good to her subordinates, a few days ago, she gave everyone three taels of silver and half a day off, saying that she would take turns to go home, cook a good meal for the elderly and children at home, and add some charcoal or something to keep warm."

Listening to the carpenter asking himself, the coachman Lao Wang took a deep breath, and then, taking out the cigarette stick from his waist, digging some tobacco leaves from the tobacco pouch, compacting it with his thumb, lighting the fire, and taking two puffs, "The old man is not bad, but he is a little more suspicious, today, if he wants to test me, I didn't hide it politely with him...... I thought, anyway, I will eat by my own ability, and there is nothing wrong, and there is a reasonable person like my wife, how can I not be resigned......"

"You're showing your hands in front of people?! You...... Oh, you're really, let me tell you something! ”

Listening to the coachman Lao Wang said, showing his skills in front of Ling Jun, the carpenter was stunned at first, and then he was so angry that he inhaled several breaths of cold air, and then coughed violently, "cough, cough, you, you are really my living ancestor, cough, cough, you say you, you ...... You're showing your skills in front of people, isn't it, isn't it obvious, asking for trouble for yourself! Don't you want your old lady? You are a person who knows martial arts, why don't you go to be a thug and protect the hospital? Even if you just be a teacher, you can earn more than being a coachman...... You, alas, really hurt me! ”

"It's okay, don't say it clearly, I thought about it, if the old lady asks me to ask, I will tell them all about the reason and the original!"

The coachman Lao Wang himself didn't understand why he trusted Liu Qingxin and Ling Jun so much...... Before, before coming to their house to do things, he obviously knew them in the first place, "They're not muddy people, they will definitely listen to me!" If...... Even they can't understand me, so ...... I can't think of any place for me in this Ming Kingdom! ”

"Oops! Look at what you said! The Ming Kingdom is so big, how can it be, there is no place for our brothers to eat! ”

Hearing the coachman Lao Wang speak like this, the carpenter's face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort him, "If your current owner can't tolerate you, you can't find a job...... Brother, I'll take care of your meal! If you have a brother and I can eat a bite, you will have a bite to eat from Brother Wang, and if you have a brother and a baby in my family, you won't be hungry for those babies in your family! ”

"Good brother!"

The carpenter's words made the coachman's old Wang's hand tremble, reached out, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and told him his promise, "Today, I will say this to you, and your brother Wang will also leave the words here!" Brother, in the future, no matter what happens, you can squeak! If your brother Wang refuses to say half a sentence, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky! ”

The town is only a little bit, the timber market in the southeast of the town is said to be a market, in fact, it is a gathering place spontaneously formed by some people who do timber and charcoal business, because it has existed for a long time, the more people who do this line of work, more and more people know, in order to facilitate the name, it was given a name, called Dongshi.

The residents of the town all know that in this East Market, you can buy all the things related to wood, from the pillars and beams used to build houses, to the charcoal used to make fires, the wooden shuttles used for looms, and the flat poles used to carry water, all of which are readily available, not to mention the good quality, and the price is also low, which is more than 30% less than that of the nearby ones bought in other markets.

Dongshi is a place to sell wood, naturally there are many merchants, who are familiar with the carpenter on Lao Wang's car, and when they saw the two of them coming over with a cart, they immediately understood that it was business that came to the door.

"Hey, Brother Wang, why are you free to come over today? Didn't you hear that you had good luck a few days ago, found a good owner, and worked as a coachman?! ”

The person who spoke, obviously quite familiar with the coachman Lao Wang, saw him coming, and jumped down from the stone where he was sitting, took two steps forward, and helped him pull the reins of the horse, so that he could get out of the car, "Carpenter Zhang, won't it be you kid who wants to be lazy and stubbornly catch Brother Wang to help you?" Now, Brother Wang has a good owner, don't cause others to lose their errands because of you! ”

"Nonsense! Lie to me! Today, but I'm here with Brother Wang! ”

Hearing people ridiculing himself, Carpenter Zhang just smiled awkwardly, and jumped off the rafters with the coachman Lao Wang, so he stepped forward and played with the person who teased him, "Brother Wang's new owner, the male owner is a man who likes horses, no, after going to the horse market, he couldn't stop it, so he bought more than a dozen horses back, and the stables at home are not enough, so he has to build two more rooms...... Brother Wang took care of my brother and called me again! ”

"Covered stables? That's a big deal! ”

Hearing what Carpenter Zhang said, he took over the job of building a stable, and the person who teased him before immediately sighed with envy, "This winter, when I see that the New Year is approaching, it is really rare that there are still people who are willing to take out the money to build this and that at this time!" Come, come, tell my brother how big a stable you want to build, how many materials you need, and I'll prepare it for you! ”

"I went to take a look, it turned out that there were stables, about six horses, he had two horses at home to pull the cart, at this time, bought back a dozen at once, how can I build two main houses as big as that, to be able to make, otherwise, after the New Year, these foals that have only grown for more than half a year will jump up, but it should not be enough!"

Before, Carpenter Zhang had followed the coachman Lao Wang to the house to take a look, with his many years of experience in carpenter's work, how much should this stable be built, how much wood needs to be used, it can be easily calculated, there is no excess material left, such a big thing dare not say, but ...... Bao Zhun'er will not buy more leftover whole materials for the owner, he can indeed guarantee, "Six pillars with a thick bowl mouth, eight fine materials with thick arms, and three bundles of dry branches to build a shed!" Quickly packed up, and immediately loaded the cart, Brother Wang's owner has asked the horse merchant to send the horses back to the house, at this time, but they are scattered in the yard! ”

happily agreed, and the few people who sold the timber began to get busy, and after a while, they carried all the materials that Carpenter Zhang asked for onto the cart and tied them up. (To be continued)
