Wang Xieliu Yanhua

Wang Xie sent people out, turned around and hurried to find Yanhua——it took so long, don't do any heavy work.

When I got to the guest room, I was overjoyed, Yanhua was sitting cross-legged on the head of the bed, practicing breathing, she seemed to have just slept for a while, her bun was a little loose, and the quilt was not folded beside her.

Hearing the sound, Yan Hua let out a breath, retracted his posture, smiled at Wang Xie and said, "Master, have we settled?"

"It's very appropriate." Wang Xie sat down beside him, and said with a smile, "You are my first disciple, and I just found a junior for you."

"Oh?" Yan Hua said happily, "Congratulations, Young Master."

"Ahem, my big apprentice, did you do something you shouldn't do behind Master's back today?" Wang Xie asked in a deep and mature voice.

Yan Hua immediately shook his head, and Wang Xie went to make lunch with satisfaction.

Hearing the sound of footsteps walking far away, Yan Hua took out the half-sewed brand new cloth belt from the quilt, fumbled and folded it, and put it under the pillow.

Wang Xie didn't let him use the old cloth belt from before, so he dug out some silk cloth from the cabinet. This cloth is not the coarse cloth that ordinary people wear - Yanhua's previous cloth belt was cut and spliced ​​from this kind of old clothes. It is a fine white cloth, although it is not as soft as silk, it is worse than dense.Recently, Wang Xie changed dressings and cloth belts twice a day, Yan Hua planned to cut more, but was afraid that Wang Xie would not allow him to do things, so he sewed in hiding.

——The young master already speaks like an old lady, if he chatters while doing work, he will be called a real old lady.

Yan Hua secretly laughed.

Wang Xie, who didn't know that Yanhua had given him a unique title, sneezed loudly in the kitchen.

Just after noon, Xiao Wu, a clerk at the pharmacy, delivered the medicine, and the price was indeed three cents cheaper than outside.Wang Xie thanked him, and gave Xiao Wu some money to buy some food. Although the boy accepted it, his eyes clearly showed that he was still not so convinced by Young Master Wang.Wang Xie saw it and didn't point it out.He took the medicine and went to resettle himself, then boiled hot water to wash clothes, called Yanhua to help, and passed the day leisurely.

The next day, Dr. Luo came in person again. He was annoying at first, and then he said a little uncomfortably: "Master, the apprentice mentioned this matter to the shopkeeper last night. The shopkeeper is a businessman. He has never seen the skills of the master. Therefore Master please come over, one is Lulu's ability, and the other is to chat for a while..."

Wang Xie knew the result when he looked a little nervous, and said with a smile: "After all, a pharmacy is also a business. It is not only about ability, but also about character. With my character, it is no wonder that he hesitates. This is no problem, but it is troublesome." You made a trip, I don't know when the shopkeeper will be free."

Dr. Luo said happily: "It's just right, the shopkeeper also said, if Master is interested, you can talk about it—how about tonight?"

Wang Xie said: "I will visit after dinner."

Doctor Luo said yes, saluted, turned and left.

Went back to the room and told Yanhua about this, Yanhua was very happy when he heard it: "It's still the young master who has the ability to arrange his future livelihood so quickly."

Wang Xie said with a smile: "It's early, we won't know until night if it will be successful."

"Master, it must be fine." Yan Hua smiled, "In the future, Master will be called 'Mr. Wang'."

Wang Xie said: "If it doesn't work, I'm not worried." He thought to himself that he had never cared about this pharmacy back then, and he didn't know what it would be like in the future, and what the shopkeeper would be like.He couldn't help but think of Su Wenyi who he met in the jewelry store, and he didn't seem to have much impression of him in the future.Then he racked his brains and thought about the "friends" he knew at this time, and found that there was only one person who would be famous in the future, and he was still notorious for pampering concubines and destroying wives.

Who are the good friends I know... Thinking of this, Wang Xie couldn't help but press his temples with his hands, tilted his head, and saw Yan Hua with his mouth slightly open, looking at him with some worry, thinking that Yan Hua listened to him Suddenly there was no sound, and for some reason, he quickly cut off the stuttering and said: "Don't underestimate me, when you are well, I will carry a medicine box on the left, and you on the right. Take a bamboo pole and pick up a streamer, and write on it 'The secret recipe handed down from the ancestors can cure all diseases', how about it, isn't it very grand?"

Yan Hua pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Young Master, the clinic is not open, what are you doing walking around the streets?"

"Well, we usually go through the streets and alleys, and when we go to a place, ask any rich person who is sick and seek medical treatment, how about slapping him hard? Or just go to the medical center there, and if you don't agree to be affiliated, I will kick him out." Museum, isn't it fun?"

Yan Hua heard him talking further and further away, and the more he said the more outrageous, she couldn't help but said: "Master, don't be too busy dreaming, let's think about the present."

In the past few days, he really felt that the young master is getting better, and it is getting better and better, so he naturally put away the previous attitude of trembling and walking on thin ice, and dared to tease Wang Xie a few words.

Seeing the gentle smile on his lips, Wang Xie also curled the corners of his mouth: "Right now, right now I'm raising you, making you fat and fat, and then..."

There was a sudden silence.

Different talents have a strange heaviness.

——Yeah, after gaining weight and healing the injury, will Yanhua stay by her side until she dies like in her previous life?Could it be that he put all his emotions on himself because he had nowhere to go and no one to rely on?Although he said he wanted to follow him, it was because he only had his own life-saving straw.Now that Yan Hua already has a skill, is full of beauty, and has a good appearance, why should she stay by her side after her injury is healed?What reason do you have to force yourself to stay?Could it be that he could only silently follow behind him in the future?It's really a bit... reluctant... When Wang Xie first woke up, he only wanted to make amends. However, after contacting Yanhua in the past few days, he felt more and more that Yanhua was still infatuated after all the twists and turns. Thoughtful and gentle, he is really a wonderful person, so he gradually became reluctant to let go.

One hand pulled the corner of Wang Xie's clothes, bringing the upset Wang Xie back to his senses, Yan Hua frowned slightly, and asked worriedly: "Master, are you feeling uncomfortable? What's wrong?"

"Yanhua..."

"Master?" Yan Hua was surprised when he heard Wang Xie's low voice, "Master... have you thought of any embarrassment? Yan Hua... Can Yan Hua help?" Thank you hand.

"Yanhua..." Wang Xie shook his hand back, "Don't move, let me hug you." Suddenly he hugged the person beside him tightly.

Recently, Yanhua has been hugged by Wang Xiehou a lot, and since the two met naked that night, Yanhua has been able to return the hug quite naturally.The two are about the same height, if you look carefully, Yanhua is slightly taller than Wang Xie by a point or two, but she is used to bowing her head and her body is very thin, so she doesn't feel awkward in Wang Xie's arms.

After staying quietly in Wang Xie's arms for a while, she clearly felt that Wang Xie's whole body was relaxed, and then Yan Hua let go of her hugging hand: "Master, are you feeling better?"

"Yanhua," Wang Xie sighed without changing his posture, "I was thinking, did I restrict you too much, and the arrangements for you in the future are all based on my own plans. Is there anything you want to do?"

Yan Hua shook her head almost without hesitation.

Wang Xie stretched his arms a little bit, and strangled him, thinking that Yanhua's current physical condition has many restrictions, and he can't do anything he wants to do, so let's wait for him to fully recover.

Thinking of this, and still needing to make plans for the moment, he cheered up and said, "I'll go over after dinner tonight, and I'll come back after the talk. You're still the same—how about you come with me?"

The so-called "same old way" refers to changing the dressing. Every night, Yanhua cleans his body first, and Wang Xie changes his dressing.

Yan Hua lowered her head slightly: "The young master thinks it's okay, so Yan Hua will follow."

Wang Xie thought about it, and apologized slightly: "Be patient for a few more days, and wait until you get better."

Yan Hua agreed.Wang Xie got up to prepare the evening meal and prepared some ointment.Yesterday the butcher brought good beef over. Wang Xie cut the meat into several long strips that were the same size as Yushi, and wrapped one strip with medicine instead of Yushi, and put it in for Yanhua.The remaining raw meat is soaked in ointment mixed with pork fat and left outside, it will not go bad for a few days.At the same time, the beef has absorbed part of the medicinal power, has a gentle temperament, and has the effect of dispelling putrefaction and promoting muscle growth. Yanhua's injury also healed faster.

After dinner, Wang Xieyou leisurely went to the pharmacy, and when he arrived at the door, Doctor Luo greeted him: "Master, my shopkeeper is waiting in the back hall."

Wang Xie slightly nodded, and followed Dr. Luo into the room.

Going around the front cabinet and raising the curtain, the people in the room have already stood up and bowed their hands in salute: "Young Master Xie, I have lost my way, and I hope you will forgive me. My surname is Wang, and I am the fourth in my family. Everyone calls me Wang Si .”

"So it's Wang Siye." Wang Xie returned the salute while sizing up the shopkeeper. He saw that he was about forty years old, with a slightly short and fat body. There is a kindness in the long and narrow eyes, the nose is slightly sunken, the lips are slightly thick, and the rosy cheeks are bulging. These five features are gathered together, which makes people feel a little festive.

Wang Xie looked at the shopkeeper, and put aside the few bags of fruit and a jar of wine, saying: "I came in a hurry, a little gift is not a respect, please accept it."

Shopkeeper Wang Si repeatedly said "Don't dare".He was also sizing up Wang Xie. He had occasionally glanced at this young master Xie from a distance before, and felt that the dazzling attire of young master Xie was really pretentious. Wen, although he was born in a scholarly family, his manners are not organized at all, and he often speaks badly, and he is often heard hanging around Huajie Liuxiang, not doing production, so he has a terrible impression of this person.

Looking at it now, it looks like a completely different person, with a stone blue gown, only a simple dark purse on the waist, and there is no pungent fragrance on the body, but the faint fragrance of acacia mixed with a little medicinal fragrance, presumably In the past few days, I got contaminated with medicinal materials.Look at the demeanor and words... Even the etiquette is considered, which is really different from before. This way, he looks like a decent person, and his evaluation of Young Master Xie has changed from "disdain" to "fair". .

The two parties sat down, accompanied by Dr. Luo, and the young man brought tea. Wang Xie looked at shopkeeper Wang Si with a smile on his face, waiting for him to speak.

Shopkeeper Wang Si also smiled, and said, "I heard that Young Master Xie has returned from a lost journey. I'm really happy to congratulate you."

As soon as he came up, he went straight to Wang Xie's shortcomings. Wang Xie was not in a hurry, and thanked him: "Young and frivolous, it has been absurd for a long time. Fortunately, I will not make any big mistakes in the future. Gu Yun, it is not too late, I will start the business now. It’s not impossible.”

Shopkeeper Wang Xie saw that his expression remained unchanged, he admitted his inadequacy, and brought out today's topic with a sense of propriety, and said, "That's good, I wonder what Master Xie has in mind for the future?"

This is the official entry into the question, Wang Xie said with a smile: "Naturally, I will convince people with my skills, but those who don't believe that I have changed my past will know after a long time and have seen my skills."

Hearing that he was calm and not in a hurry for success, shopkeeper Wang Si nodded secretly, changed the evaluation from "fair" to "slightly good", and said: "Mr. Luo is full of praise for Mr. Xie's skills." After a pause, "Mr. Luo is very proficient and even obsessed with medicine. He tossed and turned for a long time when Master Xie gave him a medicine list. Thinking about Master Xie's medicine, he must be more advanced?"

"I don't dare to talk nonsense about being diligent, but Fourth Master Wang will know it once he tries it." Wang Xie was very forthright.

Shopkeeper Wang Si laughed and said, "Then I'll make a fool of myself." Then he called "Xiao Wu" to the outside.

As soon as the door curtain was raised, the boy came in with a tray. On the tray was a bowl of medicinal soup, steaming, and placed it in front of Wang Xie.

Shopkeeper Wang Si made a sign of please with his hands, and smiled without saying a word.

Knowing that this was the topic, Wang Xie asked for the Four Treasures of the Study with a slight smile, and wrote without even touching the rim of the bowl.

"White peony root, angelica, ebony plum, cardamom, forsythia, kelp, thistle, cinnabar, croton..."

With the appearance of each medicine name on the paper, the eyes of shopkeeper Wang Si also changed.

After Wang Xie finished writing, he took the medicine bowl, licked it with the tip of his tongue, and twitched his eyebrows slightly. He glanced at the young man meaningfully, picked up the pen again, wrote the word "Morning Cow", and wrote "Raw and Shui Shu". Half and half of water", put down the pen, dried the ink, and handed it over.

Shopkeeper Wang Si was surprised when he saw him pause for the first time. When he saw that he had written the last word, he held the paper in his hand and looked at it carefully. Can't help but praise: "Thank you, young master, for your skill!"

Wang Xie nodded slightly and smiled, "Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to boast in front of Fourth Master Wang."

Shopkeeper Wang Si was completely convinced at this time. After all, people who can distinguish more than ten kinds of mixed medicines just by smell and color, if they still say that they are not proficient in pharmacology, then no one dares to claim to be proficient. Besides, after a taste He actually knew what kind of water was used, but he didn't expect it, so he called Xiao Wu and asked, "Where did you scoop up the water for decocting medicine?"

Xiao Wu didn't dare to hide it: "The villain is cold water from a water tank."

Shopkeeper Wang Si raised his eyebrows: "Is it all cold water?"

Xiao Wu peeked out of the corner of his eyes, and saw Wang Xie looking at him with a half-smile, the sharpness in his eyes flashed away, as if telling him clearly: If you don't tell the truth, you will bear the consequences.Xiao Wu couldn't help trembling, and stammered: "No, yes, the villain filled half a jar of cold water, and saw that there was still some water left on the stove, so he added it."

Shopkeeper Wang Si couldn't help opening his eyes that had been squinting all year round upon hearing this.He heard from Dr. Luo that Wang Xie's research on pharmacology even included water quality, and he just thought it was a gimmick. At this moment, he knew what the other party said was true, and Wang Xie's ability was no longer simply "convinced". I can describe it.

At that moment, Shopkeeper Wang Si thanked Wang sincerely: "Young Master Xie is brilliant, I am truly convinced."

Wang Xie understood that his hand had "shocked" the shopkeeper. Before, the shopkeeper was very powerful and took the lead everywhere. Now, with his own capital, he can easily win back a victory. Both sides have reliance on it, so it is easy to talk about it next.

"Fourth Master Wang," Wang Xie said still politely, neither humble nor overbearing, "these are just the medicine. I heard that Fourth Master Wang intends to expand the business operation. I wonder if I am lucky enough to participate in it personally?"

Shopkeeper Wang Si saw Wang Xie's ability, thought for a while, and said: "Since ancient times, medicine has not been divided into different families. My shop looks small, and it is located a little far away from several medical centers. There is a reason... "

In his heart, Wang Xie unraveled the lengthy speech of shopkeeper Wang Si, in short:

The ancestral "Kang'an Hall" of Wang Si shopkeeper, although the appearance is not small, but the annual profit is far less than that of the medical clinic. The doctor in the medical clinic collects money for prescribing prescriptions. It is often several percent more expensive than medicinal materials.

Shopkeeper Wang Si has a quick mind, so he thought he had been a shopkeeper for 20 years, why can't he build a medical clinic?In this way, on the one hand, the patients who come to the door can get the medicine nearby after receiving the prescription, and their own medicine can be sold quickly; on the other hand, because of the proximity, the price can be slightly higher.It's just that it's hard to hire a doctor. After all, a doctor is at least half a scholar, and he is a businessman. There are too few scholars who look up to businessmen. How about it.Shopkeeper Wang Si had been picking and choosing for three months, but he still couldn't find a doctor who was willing to come for a consultation.

If Wang Xie is willing to sit in the hall, he can eat and drink in the shop for free, and he can charge for the medicinal materials for his own use according to the cost, and he can get a [-]% profit from the profit when the patient uses his prescription to prescribe the medicine.

But one-half of the consultation fee should go to the shop, because firstly, the shop provided him with a place to go, and secondly, he had a bad reputation in the past. Even though he has outstanding medical skills, only three or four people know him now. It is true that the shop will take some risks.

If you really want to sleep, you can give me a pillow, Wang Xie can agree, but in this way, it is equivalent to hanging in a pharmacy, and you are still rootless.

Thinking of this, Wang Xie smiled at Wang Si's shopkeeper, "It's a good thing that Wang Siye's business is getting bigger and bigger, but you can think of it. As far as I know, there are four big medical clinics and small medical clinics in Spring City." There are at least a dozen of them, and now it’s Taiping years, and new clinics have been opened, but there are so many patients coming to see them?”

Shopkeeper Wang Si smiled and said: "I also know this, but it will take some time to do it from scratch."

"I have one more skill, I wonder if Fourth Master Wang is interested in hearing about it?"

"Appreciate further details."

"That's how it is..."

For a long time, shopkeeper Wang Si pretended to be bitter and said: "I never thought that Master Xie is so proficient in business, what should I do as a businessman in the future."

Wang Xie said: "I'm afraid that Fourth Master Wang will become prosperous in the future, and he will wake up laughing in his dreams."

They looked at each other twice and smiled.

After laughing, Wang Xie cupped his hands: "I'm really sorry for disturbing Fourth Lord Wang's rest for the night. It's getting late. I'll go back first. How about we discuss the details tomorrow?"

Shopkeeper Wang Si hurriedly sent him out. Seeing him walking away, he turned around and patted Dr. Luo on the shoulder: "Old Luo, this Young Master Xie...is he really me?"

He returned home with a satisfactory result, and before he pushed the door open, there was a sound of a latch behind the door, and then the door was double opened, and the person inside turned sideways with a smile, waiting for him to come in.

Yan Hua, who had a quiet demeanor and a gentle smile, silently guarded the door for him.

No matter how late he came back, in Wang Xie's memory, Yan Hua always guarded the door for him, and when he heard his footsteps, he opened the door to welcome him.

Even if he didn't return overnight, he would never send someone to say hello to his house. Did Yan Hua just sit behind this door and guard him all night?Or is it a night plus a day?Or, did you carry a lantern, stand at the entrance of the alley before and after the curfew, and carefully distinguish his steps?

Wang Xie went up to meet him, held his hands, and quickly covered his palms and rubbed them coolly: "Yanhua, let's go."

"it is good."
