Chapter 146: Pattern

Lu Man nodded and walked up the steps into the lobby. The lobby is huge, and it was supposed to be a place to receive patients and sell medicines. There are more than a dozen rooms on both sides, and the rooms are relatively small, and this should have been a consultation room before. The house was empty, there was nothing.

Shopkeeper Li said, "After Xiao Chen's seized Renhetang, they threw away our previous things and sold them, and the lobby was replaced with cloth furnishings, and these huts were rented to others as warehouses. I threw all those things away......"

Lu Man said, "Well, let's buy a new one." ”

I went to the backyard again, and there were two entrances in the backyard. The second courtyard is relatively large, there is a powder wall in front of it, a moon gate in the middle, four wings on each side, there is a camphor tree in the yard, a few bushes of green bamboo, a stone table and a few stone benches.

Passing through the Moon Gate is to enter the courtyard, and a door is opened in the middle of the front, and there are five seats on the left and right. To the east are stables and huts, and to the west are three wings with two willow trees in the middle, and a well.

According to the shopkeeper Li, the warehouse, pharmaceutical, kitchen, and Gong room are all in the first courtyard, and the second courtyard was originally the resting place of the imperial doctor and the shopkeeper, the doctor, and the pharmaceutical master. He said bitterly, "...... It's a pity that the medical and pharmaceutical supplies are gone. ”

Lu Man persuaded again, "Uncle Li, don't worry, as long as you have money, you can buy these things." ”

The things in the backyard room were also thrown away by Shopkeeper Li, including some useful ones in the kitchen. He felt that he had been used by Xiao Chen, so he was disgusted and didn't want it. But there is only one thing, that is, a big nanmu bookcase in the west wing of the second room is not willing to throw away.

He said, "This big bookcase was made by a carpenter in the early years, when I was only a few years old. Although it was used by Xiao Chen, I was still reluctant to throw it away. ”

The large bookcase is large and takes up half of the wall. Brown lacquer, due to the age is too old, the lacquer on it is also a little discolored and peeling off. Lu Man noticed that the carved pattern on the six doors was very strange, not the popular flowers, birds and animal heads in ancient times, but a circle, inside the circle was a four-pointed star, and there was a small circle in the middle of the four-pointed star, and there was a small four-pointed star in the small circle. The big stars are convex and the small stars are recessed.

Seeing this graphic, Lu Man couldn't help but feel close. If you think about it, it turns out that the copper pendant around her neck is this figure. It seems that the copper pendant should also have been given to He by He Huang, and He gave it to Lu Man before He left. She touched the circles with her hand, and opened the heavy door, but there was nothing unusual inside, just like an ordinary bookcase.

She asked, "Did my grandfather live in this room?" ”

Shopkeeper Li nodded and said, "Yes, this room is the master's original bedroom and study. Thinking of He Huang, Shopkeeper Li's eyes turned red again, and he said, "The master is very good to us, and he always speaks softly." When he doesn't enter the palace, he comes here. Every time, we will carry some candy in our purses and let us memorize medical books, and if we memorize them well, they will give us candy to eat. Occasionally, I will bring my sister, and my sister loves to laugh very much......"

With Shopkeeper Li's description, a thin, elegant, kind and gentle old man appeared in front of Lu Man's eyes. Such a good elder, it's a pity that he is not blessed to get along with him, and he is ill-fated.

Thinking of Mrs. Lu again, she is really a good person who does not live long, and the scourge lives for thousands of years.

Lu Man sighed lightly and said, "Take care of this room for me to use, don't move this cabinet, buy a table and a few chairs, and it's best to buy another Luohan bed." ”

Shopkeeper Li asked again, "This cabinet is very old, can you repaint it?" ”

Lu Man shook his head, "No, that's it, don't touch it." Also, lock this room and wait for idlers not to enter. ”

Saying that, he asked Mama Wang to take five hundred taels of silver to the shopkeeper Li, and asked him to buy two people first, who were responsible for watching the yard and cleaning. Then according to the original appearance of Renhetang, the shop was renovated, and then the things were purchased, and then recruited. and officially appointed him as the treasurer of Renhetang, with a monthly silver of two taels of silver. In the future, when the business is good, the salary will be raised.

Xiao Chen's small partial building is still there, don't tear it down there, and redecorate it. The wall connected to the side building opened a door and connected the three rooms of Renhetang as an independent gynecology department. Anyone who sees a gynaecological patient, go in from here.

Lu Man said, "This shop is called ...... for the time being Tongrentang, Uncle Li asked people to make a plaque and hang it. ”

Lu Man's name is really not a clone of the name of Tongrentang in his previous life, but the meaning of "Tongrenhetang".

Shopkeeper Li also knows that it is best not to call it "Renhetang" here anymore and invite trouble. Hurriedly bowed down and agreed, took out another account book and said, "Before, Xiaoren Hetang only sold medicine, although he didn't make much money, but he didn't need to pay rent, and I also had a way to buy medicine, and there was still a balance after the cost." Over the years, I have earned a total of one hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver, and after deducting my monthly expenses and the five taels of silver for buying small beans, there are eighty-one taels of silver left. A few years ago, Xiao Chen asked a few times, and I said that I couldn't make any money, only enough for me to rent a house and chew daily, and I didn't give it to her. Originally, I was saving for the third grandmother as a dowry, but who knew that the third grandmother was in a hurry to marry and didn't have time to give it. ”

A big man has only used forty-two taels of silver for more than ten years, and there is no woman to take care of his daily life, I don't know how he survived.

Lu Man didn't take the account book and said, "After so many years, I have wronged Uncle Li." Uncle Li will keep the silver, which can be regarded as my gratitude. Then he asked Mama Wang to give him another two hundred taels of silver.

These silvers were thought of by Lu Man for the shopkeeper Li a long time ago. She calculated that such a small shop could not make much money at all, and it would be good to be able to provide for the daily life of Shopkeeper Li. Even if the shopkeeper Li is one tael of silver a month, it should be one hundred and fifty-six taels in thirteen years. In addition, thank him for not giving up for so many years, just give him a whole number, two hundred taels.

Shopkeeper Li was still polite, and was persuaded by Mama Wang. Mama Wang handed another package to Shopkeeper Li, telling him that it contained four sets of silk kaftans and two hostas sent by Lu Man, as well as two sets of cheongsam and a pair of cotton shoes she sent, as well as two small jars of hot sauce she made.

Shopkeeper Li thanked him again and again. He took the two hundred taels of silver and the package, but still forced the eighty-one taels of silver into Mama Wang's hand, saying that favors and business are one yard to one yard......

What a gentleman. Thinking that he is the apprentice of He Huang's grandfather, and he is filial piety, He Huang must also be a person of high quality.

Everyone visited the circle and stood under the camphor tree in the courtyard of Erjin again, Lu Man's mood was extremely complicated. I'm glad that I finally have a territory that is completely my own, and I can open a medical clinic that I like. He Huang and He Shi were sad, even if she hadn't seen them, but at this time she was also full of respect and closeness to them. It's a pity that the world is impermanent, He Huang died in such a form, and He still doesn't know where the flowers fall, and he is still alive. I hope that Ho is still alive and can come back with the people who are looking for her.
