Chapter 206

On this day, the can of mulberry wine made by A Xu was ready to be opened. He opened the lid of the can, but before he could see what was inside, he smelled a strong and fruity aroma of wine.

Ah Jin and Er Qing leaned their heads together, one holding a wine spoon and the other holding a pottery bowl. They were both waiting attentively. Ah Jin couldn't help but urge his brother to hurry up.

Xu Yi didn't join them, but Yan Quyue pulled him to watch.

"Aren't you curious if A Xu can make mulberry wine?" Yan Quyue asked.

Xu Yi said with a smile: "If you do it the way I told you, the chance of success is very high. Let's just wait and see."

As he said this, he continued to read the medical book in his hand.

Yan Quyue was not a bad person either. Summer officially started in Zizhou in June. The summer wind brought sultry heat, so she kept shaking her round fan.

When he got tired of shaking, he put the round fan into Xu Yi's hand.

Xu Yi lowered his eyes while reading, while swinging the fan in her direction accurately.

Ahead, A Xu did not disappoint them. He scooped up the wine in the pottery urn with a horn. The wine was dark purple and slightly turbid. When he took it out of the pottery urn, it smelled even sweeter and richer.

"Let me have a taste." Ah Jin held out the pottery bowl in his hand.

With a joyful smile on his face, A Xu poured the wine from the horn into the bowl.

"Would you like to taste it?" he asked a little nervously, "If it doesn't taste good, don't swallow it, spit it out quickly."

"Well, I'm not stupid." Ah Jin raised his head slightly and took a careful sip. With.

Everyone looked at her.

Then, Ah Jin shouted with a smile: "It's delicious! Let's try it quickly!"

After saying this, Xu Yi smiled lightly at Yan Quyue. He continued to fan her with a round fan and said: " Now that it's done, remember to filter the pomace, so the taste will be much better."

Yan Quyue looked at him and lowered her voice: "How do you know so much?"

Xu Yi said: "Many things are interoperable, like Once you learn how to make medicinal wine, other wines will come naturally. By the way, you have to remember the different recipes each time, and the taste of the brew will be very different."

Yan Quyue: "..."

This matter has never happened. Yi said it with ease.

If you use other people as an analogy and want to draw inferences from one example, you still don’t know when you will be able to understand this aspect.

After all, her Xu Yi is still the best.

She said with a smile: "If you really say that, then I'm not a fool."

"How can you be a fool?" Xu Yi explained with an innocent look, "You must be better than us in learning martial arts. That's None of us can compare."

Yan Quyue smiled and felt happy.

...

Er Qing wanted to practice martial arts with Yan Quyue. What she learned was Yan Family Boxing and Yan Family Swordsmanship. It not only strengthened the body, but also had high lethality. Others could not learn it.

Although Hu Lei Tai Chi is considered to have relatively high lethality in Tai Chi, compared with Yan Family Quan, it is incomparable at the same level.

He is not from the Yan family, so he just watches every time and doesn't dare to learn.

Unexpectedly, Yan Quyue still taught him the basic boxing skills and asked him to practice well.

"Madam, if I learn this, wouldn't it be breaking the Yan family's rules?" Erqing asked, scratching his head.

Yan Quyue chuckled softly and said: "You can learn as long as you want. How come there are so many rules? The ancestors of the Yan family said that they cannot be taught to women, so I didn't learn them either? Besides, if you want to be recognized by your husband, you just have to His hunting skills are not enough."

Erqing was stunned.

"..." The next moment, his face turned red and he said hesitantly, "Madam, I, I..."

"Okay, with your little thoughts, even if A Xu is not enlightened and can't see it, how can my husband and I Don't you know?" Yan Quyue didn't tease him. After saying this, her expression became serious, "If you really want to do it, you must have good skills and you must be able to pass the test of your husband."

She said. He patted Erqing on the shoulder, said "Practice hard", turned around and entered the door.

Erqing practiced hard. Apart from running in the mountains to hunt every day, he spent the rest of his time practicing boxing.

He also divided the prey he hunted into two parts, one part was sold and saved, and the other part was taken home to eat.

After practicing for half a month, his Yan Family Boxing was already in shape.

When Yan Quyue was talking to Xu Yi, she talked about Erqing and said that he was a good young man who practiced martial arts.

"If this kid didn't only stick to Ah Jin and stay in the Yan family as a trainee, he could have a good future." Yan Quyue commented.

Xu Yi looked at Er Qing, who was whittling a stick in the courtyard: "I thought about this problem back then, but he was reluctant to leave. A Xu and A Jin were used to having him around, so we really wanted him to leave. "I can't bear it either

." Yan Quyue looked at Er Qing and then at A Jin, smiling lightly.

...

The mulberry wine is filtered to remove the pomace and sealed in a pottery jar. When taken out after three days, the taste will be more mellow.

During this period, Xu Yi still came to the wine shop every day to set up a stall.

Today is no exception.

In the morning, when the wind was light and the clouds were clear, A Xu put away the items for the stall and fed Xiao Hui a handful of beans. Xiao Huang took the opportunity to run over and get into the carriage, whining and unwilling to get down.

Axula couldn't move it and looked at Xu Yi helplessly.

Xu Yi touched its head and said: "Let it follow."

"It won't follow Erqing to the mountains?" A Xu asked, holding his hands on the donkey cart, shouting, pulling the rope in his hand, calling the little boy Hui walked around the back door and came out of the alley.

"Today my wife is taking Erqing to make iron swords, but they won't go to the mountains." Xu Yi said slowly.

A Xu: "..." Why doesn't he know?

Scratching his head, he remembered that he had mentioned it last night, but he was busy picking out the medicinal ingredients and only listened to it without writing it down.

Now that I think about it, I have some impressions. Erqing mentioned to him last time that he was cutting firewood on the mountain and cut the knife on the wooden pier, and the blade was cut.

Yan Quyue saw that the knives he was holding were not in good shape, so she offered to get him a new one.

The vehicle slowly came to a stop next to the tea shop. A Xu jumped out of the car and quickly moved the belongings down.

The tea shop owner was about to come over to say hello when he suddenly saw several local gangsters running towards him menacingly not far away.

Within a moment, these people surrounded A Xu.

In the carriage, Xiao Huang sensed danger and was about to get out of the car when Xu Yi calmly held him down.

"Are you Xu Yi?" one of them asked arrogantly.

A Xu was surprised for a moment, and before he could react, he heard another person say: "Why don't you argue with him? Let's fight him."

"Who are you? Why do you want to hit me?" A Xu asked with a frown.

"Haha, it's your fault for being nosy and offending people you shouldn't offend."

The ruffian smiled maliciously. He shouted, and the few people who followed him took out the prepared sticks. , he was about to fight towards A Xu.

When the tea shop owner and his wife saw this, they called out in panic, but they saw a large group of people looking fierce. They were old and had inconvenient legs and feet, so they did not dare to come forward.

"Several heroes, show mercy...ah, don't fight, don't fight..."

The tea shop owner was halfway through shouting. The couple was stunned when they saw the sudden change.

"This..."

I saw that A Xu did not hesitate when the stick was swung down. He took a step back, grabbed it with his bare hands, and pulled it hard. The stick fell into A Xu's hand.

He immediately fought back, beating the ruffians to a pulp and rolling to the ground wailing.

After beating everyone to the ground, A Xu blinked innocently and came to Xu Yi: "Lang Jun, we don't know them, why are you beating us?"

Xu Yi's face darkened and he said coldly: "If you want to talk about who I offended, it's because I treated the doctor of the Bai family's elder brother. The Bai family's elder brother got the medicine from Jishi Hall before."

The prescription used ginseng. Ginseng is expensive and easier to manipulate. Precious medicinal materials, one dose costs two coins.

The pills sold to the Bai family were also not cheap. Xu Yi's operation directly cost the other party dozens of taels of income.

"Ah?" A Xu was a little surprised.

His eyes fell on those gangsters, who turned out to be people sent by Jishitang.

A Xu asked: "Lang Jun, what should we do now?"

Xu Yi glanced at the whining gangsters and said coldly: "Report to the official."

After the words fell, the tea shop owner trotted over. When he heard this, Somewhat surprised, he said: "Doctor Xu, aren't you afraid? These gangsters are not easy to mess with. They often follow the rich people. There are gambling houses and money exchange houses in the market. If you piss them off, you will be in trouble."

Xu Yi paused, his eyebrows furrowed, and when he came to these frightened gangsters, he said, "Go back and tell that person, if you really want to drive me away, I'm not afraid of using such methods."

"You, you are Xu Yi?" One of the gangsters covered the corner of his mouth and looked at A Xu in disbelief. That man was very skilled, not something they could handle with their three-legged cat kung fu.

Xu Yi coldly sneered: "You can't even figure out who the person you want to beat is too bad."

The gangsters: "..."

How did they know that a little foreign doctor has a practitioner beside him? Son.

Several people limped up, said "You all just wait for me", and ran away with help.

He looked back from time to time, fearing that A Xu would come and beat them again.

Xu Yi looked thoughtful and said to A Xu: "Go and find out the news."

"Yes, I understand." A Xu agreed with a solemn expression.

After he left, Xu Yi tidied up the surrounding area and continued to set up a stall to treat patients.

...

At this time, Shen Liu was waiting anxiously in a remote yard.

He went out to check outside the courtyard from time to time. When he saw that no one had come yet, he stamped his feet and asked the apprentice next to him: "Why haven't you come back yet?"

"..." the apprentice agreed in a low voice, "Maybe he has packed up and was about to go this way. Come on, Fourth Master Shen, just wait, I'll look for you."

"Go quickly," Shen Liu urged.

Not long after, the apprentice came back worriedly with a group of gangsters who had been beaten blue and swollen.

When the leader of the local gangster saw Shen Liu, he cursed rudely: "You old thief, how dare you come to deceive my brothers and make us suffer."

Shen Liu's face was full of shock, and he looked up and down on the ground in disbelief.

"How could it be so..." Shen Liu asked, "Did Xu Yi beat you?"

The gangster snorted and said, "It was his entourage. It's strange that he, a doctor, travels with thugs. Is there something else you Jishitang is hiding?"

Shen Liu: "..."

How did he know that even this Xu Yi was mentioned by the Shaodong family and wanted to drive people out of Zizhou.

"Don't be angry, it's because someone was negligent." Shen Liu quickly took out a money bag and stuffed it into their hands. When the gangsters opened the money bag, they saw two fifty-tael coins inside.

They said greedily: "We brothers have all been beaten badly. How can we pay for medicinal materials with such a small amount? We need two more."

Shen Liu's mouth twitched sharply, but he did not dare to offend these gangsters, so he had no choice but to pay for it again. money.

At this time, the gangsters collected the money with satisfaction and asked: "Tell me, what else are you hiding?"

"This Xu Yi is a young doctor in Yanting. He got some good luck and developed his skills. "Shen Liu said bravely, "We didn't want to do this at first, but we didn't expect this person to come to Zizhou. He didn't take our Jishi Hall seriously."

The gangster frowned in disbelief: "That's it?"

Shen Liu laughed dryly and said quickly: "How dare I deceive you? Why don't I ask someone to inquire. If there is anything I really don't know, tell them immediately."

"No need." The gangster waved his hand and the entourage Although the beating hurt, it was not fatal and a few of them only suffered minor injuries.

In less than half an hour, it was almost better.

But in order to put on a show in front of Shen Liu, they all put on a miserable look.

When I heard what Shen Liu said, I immediately had an idea: "There are a few brothers, so why bother asking? You can bring me another five taels of silver and make sure you find out everything."

Shen Liu: "..."

Still That's all we can do.

He reluctantly paid for it again and told them to get things done, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the young master's family.

The gangster patted his chest and said it was no problem. When he came out of the yard, one of them said, "Brother, do we really listen to him?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's hard to deal with that guy named Xu." The gangster leader said thoughtfully. thinking.

When he returned to the gambling house, he sent someone to find out the news.

This investigation revealed something extraordinary.

It turns out that Dr. Xu has a good reputation in Yanting. Not to mention the poor people who treat him with respect, even the rich and wealthy have friends with him.

In fact, knowing that they were going to cause trouble for Xu Yi, the gangster's boss personally sent his men over so that they could withdraw the men they were watching.

"Do you know about the Xing family in Yanting?"

"It's the fifth master Xing who won the Jinshi the year before last. Xu Yi has a good relationship with this fifth master Xing. Now this master Xing is an official in Kyoto. If he knows about this, Aren't we going to suffer?"

Kyoto is far away from Zizhou, but Yanting is under the jurisdiction of Zizhou Road. If you really offend someone, you will cause a lot of trouble.

Besides, who would be hostile to a doctor with excellent medical skills these days?

This Ji Shitang is really disgusting. He hid so much information. If they really believed him, they would not be able to continue to prosper in Zizhou.

"Let's go, take care of this guy, and beat up that guy named Shen." The gangster was furious, and he yelled and took a few people to find trouble for Shen Liu.

Xu Yi didn't know anything about this.

He was waiting for Ji Shitang to come again to cause trouble, but he waited and waited, but did not wait for the next step.

Xu Yi had doubts in his heart: Do we need to work elsewhere?

At this time, A Jin and Er Qing no longer went hunting in the mountains. They stayed in front of the stall, staring at the passers-by with burning eyes, causing some timid ones to take a detour.

"A Jin, Er Qing." Xu Yi said helplessly, "Don't be so scary. There have been fewer patients in the past two days."

A Jin said "Oh" in a low mood. She came over and sat down next to Lang Jun. On the stool, he supported Yi with both hands and said, "Why haven't those people come yet?"

Xu Yi: "..."

He laughed, "How come you, a woman, fell in love with fighting and killing?"

Ah Jin snorted: "It's all their fault. You can't mess with anyone. You came to mess with us. Do you think Lang Jun is easy to bully? Besides, this Ji Shitang is so shameless. He did such a thing and dared to trouble us."

" It's their fault." Xu Yi agreed.

In the carriage next to her, Yan Quyue casually raised the curtain, shook her fan and shouted, "Ah Jin, it's too hot outside, come play chess with me."

Ah Jin jumped up and ran to accompany Yan Quyue.

Yan Quyue is not afraid of trouble, and Xu Yi is also not afraid of trouble. The two of them are the calmest.

In the following days, they did not wait for Jishitang to come and cause trouble, but first waited for the letter from Yanting.

"Who sent it?" Yan Quyue lowered her eyes to read the letter.

Xu Yi said: "There are letters from Mr. He, Madam He, and Brother Zhang also sent letters..."

He took out letters one by one and saw letters from Xin Shengyuan and Tao Qinghao.

Xu Yi first opened Pang Boyi's letter. In the letter, Pang Boyi asked him when he would leave Zizhou. Moreover, as if he had predicted something, he collected some information about Jishitang and evidence of selling medicinal materials at high prices.

Pang Boyi said bluntly in the letter: "The Jishitang matter is nothing. If you don't like the lack of medical ethics, I will just send the evidence to the supervision office of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh after reading it. A sound.

"Come and take a look." Xu Yi handed the letter to Yan Quyue with a smile.

Yan Quyue thought she had written something bad. After reading it carefully, she smiled and said, "Mr. Pang still has a strong temper. Unlike you, you can still endure it until now."

"I don't like to cause trouble." Xu Yi Smile.

Yan Quyue: "Now it doesn't matter whether he likes it or not, he has gangsters knocking on his door." At this point, she asked if she wanted to listen to Pang Boyi's opinion.

It's rare to have such an elder who thinks about himself. How could Xu Yi not listen?

"Well, I'll reply to the letter." He nodded and wrote the letter without any fuss.

When sending it, he put together the evidence he collected and sent another letter.

Xu Yi looked at him coldly: "Sir, since you want to move, don't leave any trouble."

"My husband is thoughtful." Yan Quyue lowered her eyebrows, and there was a lot of meaning in her eyes.

...

That day was in the middle of June, and the doctor in charge of the Shen Family Jishi Hall was beaten by a group of gangsters for no apparent reason. Afterwards, there were rumors in the public that the doctor of Jishitang had offended some big family, and the other party actually ignored the Shen family's face.

The head of the Shen family and the young master's family soon learned of this, and they summoned Shen Liu to the main house.

After questioning, he learned that the gangster he sent out turned against him and beat him with his backhand.

The head of the Shen family fell on his son and asked, "You are hiding something from me?"

Shen Shaodong's family did not dare to hide it, so they told him about his intention to drive Xu Yi out of Zizhou.

After hearing this, the head of the Shen family said with an angry face: "You bastard, you are really confused! Why should you care about those brats? You put the Shen family in the same place with such people, it is a disgrace to our Shen family."

Furthermore, as the head of the family, he , there are many things to consider.

The incident in Pu'an dealt a heavy blow to the Shen family. Sichuan was a vast territory, with many merchants and well-informed people. Not long after that incident, the reputation of their Shen Family Jishi Hall was not as good as it was before, and the accounts reported by several semicolons every month were reduced by one-third.

After a lot of trouble, he found out that Maozhou and Yanting were behind the incident. At that time, he was confused about which big shot he had offended.

Before they could find out who it was, they were warned and asked to keep a low profile by the Shen family.

"Afraid of what he will do." Shen Shaodong's family didn't take it seriously and sneered, "He is just a wandering doctor. He has no one to take care of him. No one knows if he dies in the wild."

Shen Liu saw that the master's face darkened and he hurriedly came out. Shen Shaodong's family shouted: "Shaodongjia, please stop talking."

Shen Shaodongjia mocked: "What I said is wrong, why is dad even afraid of such a person?"

The head of the Shen family glared at him angrily and cursed: "You forgot How many thousands of silver did our Shen family lose in Pu'an?"

Shen Shaodong's family was silent: "..."

The Pu'an semicolon was sealed, and the thousands of silver coins sent to the government were wasted. Even the goods with the semicolon were confiscated, and not a penny was lost. Get it back.

That blow was quite a blow, and it made the arrogant and domineering younger members of the Shen family restrain themselves a lot.

It's a pity that the Shen family is used to being domineering in Zizhou. There are many misbehavers among the younger generation. Sometimes when trouble occurs, they take money to settle it.

Furthermore, those who run medical clinics will inevitably sometimes misdiagnose and prescribe the wrong medicine to kill someone. If it is a poor person, they will accept their fate for a few dollars, or else they will find various excuses to say that the person is seriously ill and cannot be cured... …After this, we have been living in peace for the past few years.

But as long as a caring person investigates, he can find out a lot of dirty things about Jishitang.

The head of the Shen family also knew about the existence of this hidden danger. After that, he gritted his teeth and spent thousands of dollars to buy off the Zizhou Prefecture.

The result was not good, Zizhou Prefecture took the money, turned around and resigned, and became an official somewhere else.

In this matter, the Shen family can only admit that they are unlucky.

The head of the Shen family said solemnly: "Then Xu Yi, don't provoke me again."

In troubled times, it is better to have more things to do than less things.

When Shen Shaodong heard this, he curled his lips and thought disdainfully: "By him? I don't have the ability."

He didn't say what he was saying, but he held his hands and said, "I understand, and I won't provoke Xu Yi again." "

After saying that, he straightened up and exited the study.

Upon seeing this, Shen Liu saluted the head of the family and quickly followed Shen Shaodong's family.

Shen Shaodong's family let out a sigh of relief on the way and gritted his teeth and said: "Dad, it's better. I became more and more timid and cautious, which even caused me to be reprimanded once.

Shen Liu smiled and did not dare to talk. Shen Shaodong's family said: "

Since I can't drive him away, then I will destroy his reputation. You find a dying person and let him go to Xu Yi for medical treatment." Give him again..."

He continued to speak softer and quieter, but Shen Liu's eyes widened slightly and he looked at the young master who had grown up with him in horror.

"Young master, this, this is not good.

"What's wrong? They are all going to die anyway. If you give his family a sum of money, his family will thank you. " "After Shen Shaodong's family said this, he rolled up his sleeves and walked away.

Shen Liu had a complicated look on his face. He returned home with a guilty conscience, thinking that this young master's behavior was getting more and more erratic.

If the young master's family is allowed to inherit the great cause in the future, will the Shen family be in doom? Reply?

In his opinion, the young master's desire to use his life to tarnish other people's reputation was much more serious than his greed for money.

That night, he couldn't sleep

until the next morning . When he woke up with a black eye, his wife asked him what was wrong. Shen Liu

couldn't help but muttered about it in a low voice.

"Husband, you must not do this." If it really happens, the master of the young master's family will protect him, but as for you, you have no choice but to admit defeat. "

Shen Liu was awakened by the words and was so startled that cold sweat broke out on his back. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said in a confused voice: "Yes, yes, you must not do this. We have to tell the head of the family about this. .

"No. " "His wife stopped him, "If you said so, you would offend the young master. If you had not pretended to be a patient, it would be none of our business whether Xu Yi could be cured or not. "

After hearing this, Shen Liu thought it made sense, so he planned to do as his wife said.
