After Jinniang and Xu Erlang and his friends left the capital with a few children, they consciously took advantage of the Xu Mansion and had nothing to do every day, so they quickly moved out of the Xu Mansion and went to their new home to settle down.
They also opened a small medicine shop not far from their new home, where Niang Gui stayed in charge, specifically for the diagnosis of the ladies and girls who were suffering from illness.
However, Master Qian split two other houses at home and built a small private school to teach nearby children to educate their children.
There is no doubt about the ability of Mrs. Gui and Master Qian. Even though many people did not trust them at the beginning, as Mrs. Gui cured patients over the years, Master Qian taught several children who passed the test at the age of ten. The couple's doctors are kind-hearted, skilled, and knowledgeable, and able to be good teachers spread like wildfire and became famous figures far and wide.
Last time, Changle and others visited Madam Gui and Madam Qian and came back and said that the people there respected the couple very much. Especially Madam Gui, they have become a well-known living Bodhisattva. They don’t have to buy daily necessities at home, because some patients always throw chickens, ducks, fish, meat, fruits and vegetables at the door and leave. They really want to catch up with people and send things back. This shows that the couple is very popular nearby.
This time Ban'er's engagement was in a low-key manner, but the Qian family originally wanted to deal with it in a low-key manner, but there was some news leaking out, so many patients of Niang Niang and parents of Mr. Qian's students came to give gifts.
When Madam Gui and Jinniang talked about this, they were still a little amused and crying. "I didn't want them to spend money before, so I decided to deal with Ban'er's marriage in a low-key manner. As a result, there was some news leaking, and the matter was spread."
Mrs. Gui treats people with medical treatment, which is entirely based on the situation of the patient's family. If the family is poor, she will appropriately reduce the medical expenses, and sometimes even give free medicines. But if she meets those rich families, she will not charge more, but those who love to use good medicines, the profits of good medicines will be very high, and the income of the pharmacy will increase accordingly. Not to mention, some female family members in the house are worried about their reputation and do not come to the pharmacy to treat the disease at any time, so they will ask Mrs. Gui to go to the mansion. Mrs. Gui doesn't think this is anything, but the cost of asking her to pass the mansion is not small. Sometimes the cost of passing the mansion once is even more than the profit of the pharmacy for one month - this pharmacy can continue to operate, and the treatment of the mansion is a great achievement.
There were many guests outside, and Madam Gui and Madam Qian couldn't take time to entertain Jinniang's family for a while. Today, Madam Jinniang and Xu Erlang lived with him, and accompanied by Chang'an and Changle. Except for Xu's father and mother, the rest of the family came here, and they also gave Madam Qian and Madam Gui enough face, which made the two families have had so many years of friendship.
It was not until everyone left that Master Qian went to talk to Xu Erlang, while Miss Gui accompanied Jinniang.
There was also a little girl who was engaged to Ban'er who also fell in the flower hall. The girl's name was Li Yushu. She looked very literary. She also smiled gently and shyly, but she was neat in her work. It can be seen that Miss Gui liked her very much.
Li Yushu entertained Changle and some people. Seeing that Jinniang looked at the little girl for a few more times, Madam Gui said, "When I first moved to this alley, Yushu had a high fever. Her family came in time, so I tried hard to save her life. At that time, the child was young and she was a young girl in the family. Her parents and brothers and sisters spoiled her and seemed more innocent and charming. After the child recovered from illness, he often came to me, and spent most of the day with me. As time went by, I gave her some medical skills and forgot to accept half of her apprentice."
Unfortunately, this child is hardworking, but he has no talent in studying medicine. However, the old saying goes, diligence can make up for his shortcomings, so after studying for several years, his foundation has been pretty good.
Madam Gui was not prepared to accept another apprentice, but since Yushu became her future daughter-in-law, her requirements would be stricter. Then, let the child inherit her skills and have a way to make a living. The main thing is to prevent them from taking office after the couple went to the immortals. At that time, Yushu would have medical skills and they would not be in a dilemma for food and drink.
Should we say that we are worthy of being a parent? Not only should we care about our children for the long term, but we should also be thorough, which is really pitiful to parents in the world.
Jinniang and her family spent their days in Qian Mansion until evening before they were about to go back.
Madam Gui held Jinniang and Changle's hands and was reluctant to leave, "You will leave Beijing in a few days. I don't know when it will be."
Jinniang laughed, "I will see you anyway. Then we will have another drink and tea. Maybe you have a grandson at that time, and I don't know if you have time to chat with me."
Madam Gui was naturally happy to hear this and couldn't see her teeth.
She and Master Qian are both over 40 years old. If they were placed in ordinary families, their grandson would almost say they would kiss him. But now their grandson has not yet appeared.
But I can't wait for a few years, at most only three to five years, and there will be a soft little dumpling that will reach out to let them hug you.
Madam Gui smiled and said to Jinniang, and told Changle, "Don't force yourself too much. Your medical skills are now comparable to your master. If you like to practice medicine and pulse, you can do it, but there is no need to bear the patient's life completely on yourself. We are doctors, doctors who save lives, but we are not gods. Sometimes it is understandable to face the patient's powerlessness. Changle, you are sensitive, don't be stubborn."
"Master I know, don't worry, I will work hard to improve myself. If the disease really cannot be cured, I will study it carefully. If the patient is not careful, I will not blame this entirely on myself."
"Just understand." Madam Gui looked at Xiaoyuer and Changqi again, smiled and told them about the customs of Jiangnan, and asked them to pay attention to safety. Jiangnan was rich and did not pick up any other roads - this is purely lies. Today, Daqi is far from being rich enough to that extent. However, compared with the rest of Daqi, the people in Jiangnan are indeed well-fed and have a lot of life.
It is precisely because life is relatively easy that the families there are very careful raising their children.
However, illegal and irregular things happen no matter where they are.
Especially in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many beauties born, such as those who take pictures of flower and do business in red light districts, who sell people everywhere every year. If they cannot sell well, there are many kidnapped people. What's more, when they see those who are particularly beautiful and delicate, they will kidnap them directly without caring them. However, because those people are backing, the girl's family will go to those pickled places and come out and will be insulted and even affect the marriage of sisters in the family. Therefore, even if some people know the girl's situation, they will pretend to be deaf and dumb, or rescue the person and then finish it.
Madam Gui was very clear about the strange and turbulent hidden under the quiet and peaceful days. Similarly, she also knew that according to Xu Erlang's ability, the little girl in the mansion would definitely not be in danger.
But what if?
Everything has something to do, and you have to be careful.
Especially when Lord Xu goes to Jiangnan this time, he will definitely touch the interests of many nobles from aristocratic families. The family is in chaos and does not break the limit to achieve their goals. They have destroyed human nature. If they can achieve their goals with a little girl, they don’t mind doing it.
For this reason, Mrs. Gui reminded and told Xiaoyuer and Changle to pay attention to safety. Even if they were going out to stroll, they would bring enough people or self-defense.
She was not worried about Changle. When Changle was studying medicine with her, she had many ways to defend herself. Now that she has improved her medical skills, she will not be able to touch her even more. If she has evil thoughts about her, she will not take action. Once she takes action, it will be obvious who will suffer in the end.
Madam Gui watched Jinniang's family with concern, and turned around and saw Ban'er talking to Yushu. Her bored mood disappeared immediately.
Forget it, individuals have their own personal fate. She has given all the instructions to give in. Those children are not as blessed as if they are very blessed. Besides, with the careful care of Xu Erlang and his wife, she should be more at ease with them.
Madam Gui looked at Ban'er and asked Yushu again, "Do you stay here for dinner today?"
Li Yushu's white face suddenly turned red.
If the master said this in the past, she would definitely agree. After all, she has been playing under the master's nose since she was a child, and she is no longer familiar with him. The master is her second mother.
But today it was not possible. Today it was the engagement between the two families, and she should not have come. But because Lord Xu's family had a close relationship with his master's family, the master specially called her to come over to meet people, and his parents also felt that it was time to get along with others, so they let her come over.
But it's enough to stay here for a day. If you stay for dinner, you'll probably be said to be shameless.
Li Yushu said, "Master, I'll go back to eat. My parents, brother and sister-in-law are probably waiting for me."
"That's fine, let Wen Zhuan take you back."
After Ban'er moved to his new home, few people called him a nickname. His parents introduced him to the public and said that his name was Qian Wenxuan. Now only his parents called him a nickname, but the rest did not know that he had such a rough name.
Ban'er was very literary and had a bookish aura all over his body. He obviously had no blood relationship with Master Qian and Miss Gui, but perhaps because he had been together for a long time, his appearance actually had a certain imagination with Master Qian. With the same Wenjun temperament as the father and son, no one believed that they were not father and son.
After hearing his mother's words, Ban'er lowered her head in embarrassment, but the corners of his upturned mouth had already betrayed his good mood at this time. "Okay, mom, I'll send Yushu back now."
The two men and women with red cheeks walked out slowly. At this time, they were thinking at the same time, how could they live next to each other? If the distance was farther, wouldn’t they stay together for longer?
After Jinniang and others returned to Xu's mansion, dinner was ready. However, a few of them used pastries and fruits in Qian's mansion today, and they are not very hungry now, so they barely used some, so they asked the maid to bring down all the remaining dishes.
After the children returned, Jinniang washed up and lay tired on the bed. She said that she was most unwilling to go out as a guest. Even if she was very close to someone, she would be very tired. But there was no way. Such a closer relationship should be maintained, otherwise she would not be in contact over time, and the better relationship would be gone.
Because he was a little tired this day, Jinniang curled up in Xu Erlang's arms and fell asleep early.
After breakfast the next day, Brother Rong and Jinniang talked about going out to buy some books. Jinniang thought of something and went to find Xu Erlang.
Xu Erlang did not go out today, but read all the files about Jiangsu and Zhejiang in his study. He had read more than once, but now he continues to read them. I wonder if he should keep all these things in mind before he can finish them.
"I think about opening a bookstore in the capital and putting all our treasures over the years over the years. What do you think?"
Xu Erlang raised his eyebrows in surprise. He put down the book in his hand and stood up and walked to Jinniang, leading her to the beauty couch beside him. "Don't you want to build a library? What's wrong with opening a bookstore? Do you still want to sell those books?"
Jinniang shook her head, and Xu Erlang also knew that this was obviously impossible.
Those books were collected carefully over the years. Even if they were given a high price, Jinniang would not sell them.
"I don't open a bookstore to sell books, I think I can change books."
Jinniang's specific plan is to put a batch of books to try. Those books are not sold to the public, but can be viewed for free. Of course, those who are interested can copy books in exchange for two hours of free reading time every day, and there is already free tea supply. If someone really likes them and wants to take them home to collect them, then copy them yourself. Or take a book that is not in the bookstore and exchange them.
On the one hand, this provides convenience for poor students, and on the other hand, it also speeds up the pace of collecting books, killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, another advantage is that if the books are placed in the bookstore, someone else can take care of them in the province.
Books are expensive, and the quality of paper these days is not all very good. In addition, most houses are made of wooden, and things stored in rainy days are prone to dampness. This is really an accident, and books will become moldy.
On the contrary, when it is placed in a bookstore, readers will be particularly careful about books and will be more likely to find problems in books, which will facilitate the aftermath of treatment.
Jinniang said, "After we left Beijing, only our parents and Chang'an Changping are left in the mansion. I won't talk about the two young people. I won't go home for ten or half a month. I'm worried about giving the books to them for care. My parents can't take care of them, and it's even more impossible for us to take them all to Jiangnan. In this way, it's better to open a bookstore and ask a caring shopkeeper to take care of it. This is tantamount to providing them with a channel to improve themselves. At the same time, books can speed up the pace of book collection. It's really great."
After Jinniang finished speaking, she pushed Xu Erlang, "What do you think?"
"Can."
He agreed so easily, Jinniang couldn't help but smile, "If you are worried that some of the books will be damaged, let's have someone copy a batch in advance and put it in the designated place."
"If you do this, it doesn't make much sense to open a bookstore."
