Chapter 273:

There are wintersweets growing in the yard of the Shang family, which bloom brightly in the twelfth lunar month. The children knelt down and boiled water to make tea. The fragrance of the tea overflowed and lingered in the square pavilion.

There was an incense burner to add incense, but Xu Yi had no intention of admiring the scenery and drinking tea. He was eager to tell his family the good news.

He stood up to say goodbye, and Shang Hongshen saw him off personally.

After walking a few steps, Shang Hong thought of something, stopped and asked Xu Yi: "It is not easy to run medicine. In addition to money, you also need enough manpower. You are only one person, how can you accept so many apprentices?"

Xu Yi thought about this. When he knew it, he replied: "At home, A Xu and A Jin have practiced medicine with me for many years. With their abilities, it will not be difficult to teach some apprentices."

Shang Hongshen narrowed his eyes slightly.

He asked: "When will you leave?"

"If it's quick, you can leave when the snow melts after the new year, if it's late, I'm afraid it won't be until after the Qingming Festival."

After leaving this time, they don't know when they will come to Beijing, and they will need to deal with matters in Kyoto by then Don’t leave until you are done.

If Zhuangzi wants to sell it, he has to find a seller. So Xu Yi left some time to answer just in case.

Shang Hongshen listened and said slowly: "After the New Year before the snow melts, if you want to come to Tai Hospital to read, I can allow it."

There are so many medical books in Tai Hospital, how can you read them all in half a year? If you can continue to read in Tai Hospital , which is great for Xu Yi.

Shang Hongshen's move is also a good thing for adults.

"Thank you, Lord Chancellor."

Xu Yi was delighted and bowed to express his thanks.

Leave like this.

...

On the way back, Xu Yi drove his donkey cart onto the spacious Beijing Road. There were piles of snow on both sides and the road was slippery, so he slowed down his driving speed.

Unexpectedly, he heard a low whine coming from the roadside.

He grabbed the rope in his hand, stopped the car, jumped out of the car, walked a few steps back, lowered his body and searched for a few seconds, and found the injured puppy from the withered grass.

This puppy has a black and yellow face, with orange-red hair all over its back. Its limbs are in the snow, and its hair is dirty and wet.

It looked like he was less than two months old. There was blood on his left hind leg and it was drooping. It looked like he was injured.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

.

It's freezing cold, and he's still injured. If he doesn't save him, he might not be able to survive today.

Xu Yi quickly took off the short coat, picked it up and wrapped it in it, and took the puppy home.

Several people in the family got busy anxiously when they saw that Xu Yi had gone out for a trip and picked up an injured puppy when he came back.

"Is there hot water at home?"

"Yes, sir, I'll bring it to you right away." A Xu responded and went to the kitchen to bring hot water very quickly.

With hot water in hand, Xu Yi opened the outer rug and exposed the puppy.

Yan Quyue's eyes brightened: "What a beautiful puppy."

"It looks so pitiful. Where did you pick it up? Why is the leg so badly injured?"

Xu Yi twisted the handkerchief to wipe the puppy's body. Dirty, he said quickly: "I picked it up on Jingdao. My leg was injured at the time. It looked like it was run over by something."

There were people coming and going in Jingdao, and there were many vehicles and carts. I don't know if this dog was abandoned. Regardless of where it was dropped, the probability of being run over by a passing vehicle is extremely high.

After a bumpy ride back, the puppy looked even worse than before.

"Can it be saved?" Erqing said worriedly.

Hunters love dogs, and Erqing is no exception.

He usually followed Xiao Huang, but he couldn't bear to see such a small dog injured.

Xiao Huang and Tiger King at home also came over to take a look. Tiger King even rubbed the puppy's nose affectionately, making him very friendly to it.

It seems that in their eyes, this weak little guy is also very pitiful.

Xu Yi glanced at the two little ones from the corner of his eyes, and without stopping, he wiped off the snow dirt on the puppy. It felt a little hypothermic when he touched it, and immediately carried it to the stove.

Ah Jin exclaimed and asked, "Why does it look like it's dying?"

"Is it hungry?" Yan Quyue frowned and asked Xu Yi worriedly, "Can such a small dog eat meat?" ?"

Xu Yi shook his head, not yet.

If goat milk is available, they can feed it goat milk, but unfortunately they don't know where to find goat milk at this time.

"Feed rice porridge." Xu Yi did the next best thing, went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of rice porridge over, and fed it little by little with a spoon.

Puppies feel their kindness.

Smelling the aroma of rice porridge, I whined my head and drank the small half bowl of rice porridge in a cooperative manner.

After eating the rice porridge, the puppy seemed to be in better spirits and frequently turned its head to look at its injured left leg.

Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately treated its wound.

When he touched it, the puppy howled in pain.

The bones inside the injury were broken.

Drooping powerlessly.

Xu Yi cleaned the wound without changing his expression, applied ointment, and fixed it with a fixing plate.

After doing this, the puppy was tired from all the tossing and lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

The kennel was so dirty that it was not suitable for him to sleep in. Ah Jin took the initiative and took the kennel that Xiao Huang had used before, spread it with thick straw, and put some old cotton handkerchiefs on top. .

"Is this possible, Mr. Lang?" Ah Jin asked.

Xu Yi nodded and said, "Put another Tangbao in the back so that the puppy won't feel cold."

Using Tangbao to keep the puppy warm, the rest of the family didn't feel anything was wrong.

After all this is done, the puppy's nest is warm and not cold at all. Everyone felt relieved and began to discuss how to deal with the dog.

"Keep it."

Neither of the two guys in the family reject it.

"Okay, just keep it, we can afford it." Yan Quyue responded.

The brothers, sister and Erqing were all happy about this and were already thinking about what to name it.

"You can't give it to Lang Jun. It won't sound good to him."

Ah Jin first excluded Xu Yi. If he was asked to name it, he might name it "Xiao Hei" or "Xiao Cheng" or something like that.

Xu Yi twitched his lips, he would not name him "Xiao Hei".

Yan Quyue looked at him with bright eyes, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "If you really choose this name, I'm afraid I will think of you when I see it in the future."

Xu Yi: "..." Not happy. That's it!

"Change!"

he shouted, and the others covered their mouths and laughed.

A Xu was more honest, scratching the back of his head and looking at Xu Yi: "Lang Jun, what kind of name should I choose?"

"Oh, why did you let Lang Jun choose it?" A Jin stopped him with a smile, showing interest. He said, "Let's think about it ourselves, whether it is "Chu Ci" or "The Book of Songs", there is always a suitable name."

Yan Quyue thought for a while and said, "Let's call it Dong'er."

"Dong'er?" Xu Yi raised his eyebrows and asked her, "What's the allusion to this?"

Yan Quyue said: "There is no allusion, but I picked it up in winter. It has a wide face and yellow ears, and it looks smart. The word 'ear' in its name is It is so smart now that it can rely on its ears to call for help even in such a cold weather."

Xu Yi smiled. The sleeping puppy got a name.

Today Xu Yi went out to Shang's house. Yan Quyue asked, "Have you got the document?"

Whether they can do folk medicine depends on this piece of paper. As long as it is there, they can make arrangements freely in the future.

This matter is not urgent at first, but if they don't get the documents, they are afraid that there will be complications.

"I got it. I didn't expect that this document was even stamped by the official." Xu Yi's heart was full of joy and he said to them, "We will be able to practice medicine in the future."

Several people in the family were as excited and nervous as him. In addition to being excited, Yan Quyue was already planning the next arrangements.

"We can't really sell off our family property to run a school, but we can't make less money. Now we have to carefully plan how to use the box of gold."

He immediately looked at Xu Yi, waiting for him to make a decision.

If you want to sell this gold and copper coin, you can't keep it as it is, you have to melt it into gold lumps.

Xu Yi was silent for a moment and looked at them: "There are all residential buildings here. The neighbors will know clearly if there is any movement. We have to rush on the road, so it is not suitable to deal with it halfway."

In this case, only those in the suburbs of Beijing Zhuangzi is the most suitable.

There is no human habitation for several kilometers around, and even if there is, it is the village of other large households, and the only people living here are the servants and the old servants who watch the village. Whatever they want to do in Zhuangzi, they just need to avoid Butler Lu and the others.

After listening to what Xu Yi said, Yan Quyue realized something: "Give the servants in Zhuangzi a New Year's holiday and let them go home and celebrate the New Year."

"How many days of leave?" Ajin asked in surprise, She had a quick mind, and it would take seven or eight days to melt that box of gold and copper coins.

Xu Yi said: "Seven days off."

The official Yuan Day holiday is seven days, but this rule only applies to civil servants. The servants on duty in the master's house did not have such good luck, and they all took turns taking breaks. After all, during major festivals such as New Year's Day, Hanshi, and the Winter Solstice, the masters of the family would organize banquets, and the servants on duty would be even busier than usual.

They are also willing to be busy so that they can get more reward money.

It was agreed upon, and Xu Yi went to Zhuangzi the next day to inform Butler Lu without delay. Butler Lu was worried when he heard that Yuanri had given them seven days off. Later, they were relieved when they heard from Xu Yi that the reward would still be paid.

...

"Woo~"

The puppy in his arms raised its head coquettishly to beg for milk. Xu Yi skillfully wiped its milk-stained mouth with a rag to prevent it from drinking any more.

"Eat less and eat more, your stomach will burst if you eat any more." Xu Yi said, holding it up and patting it on the back.

Afterwards, he went to check the wound on his left hind leg.

After several days of treatment, the puppy's injuries have improved a lot. Although its bones have not yet fully grown, it is full of energy and its naughty temper is beginning to show. It did not ask for milk and grabbed the blanket underneath it to practice teething exercises.

It chewed hard, and the coarse cloth blanket was thick and durable, and it was still intact after all its hard work.

It screamed "嘤嘤嘤" dissatisfiedly.

Attract Xiao Huang who is lying at the entrance.

Xiao Huang wagged his tail to look at the little guy who had just joined the family, and licked him. His plush head looked like it had been caught in the rain, and it looked miserable.

Xu Yi patted it to stop Xiao Huang from licking saliva.

"Be more honest with me."

Xiao Huang listened with half-understanding, clinging to Xu Yi's legs, even more clingy than usual.

Xu Yi cared about the puppy and did not forget to care about it. Seeing its concern, he took out the dried meat to coax it.

Xiao Huang is as easy to coax as ever, and his tail is raised high when he eats dried meat.

At this time, A Xu came out with two boxes and cages, which contained things they would use for the festival in Zhuangzi.

He came to ask Xu Yi if there was anything else he wanted to bring.

"Everything that should be found in Zhuangzi is here. Let's just pack a couple of clothes." Xu Yi didn't have anything to bring.

Over in the south room, Ah Jin and Er Qing were also very excited. They went to Zhuangzi not for a vacation, but to melt gold!

So many beautiful gold coins are all melting into ugly golden lumps.

How could I not be excited?

"I'll put on the mask." Then she will also play with gold!

...

Before leaving, Xu Yi sent a message to Xing Yuesen.

The Huo family, the Wei family and the Xin family also sent news, just because they were afraid that these families would come to visit during the New Year and no one could be found.

But as soon as they loaded their luggage into the car, Wei Liu came over in the car.

When he saw Xu Yi, he first saw a puppy with slurping milk in Xu Yi's arms. His eyes immediately fell directly on his arms and he couldn't look away.

"Where did the puppy come from? It looks so happy." Wei Liu asked.

His hands were already dishonestly taking the puppy from Xu Yi's arms, and he couldn't put it down and touched it.

This dog didn't recognize life. He held it motionless and didn't struggle. It looked at it with two hazy eyes. It felt comfortable when it touched its back and lay lazily in his arms.

Wei Liu liked it even more.

After he met Xiao Huang, he thought about raising a dog. He went to the stall where cats and dogs were traded in Xiangguo Temple to see each other several times, but he didn't find anyone who was compatible with him.

He didn't expect to come to Xu Yi's house and see such a puppy that made his heart beat.

Xu Yi smiled and said: "I picked it up."

Wei Liu looked at him with sour eyes: "Can you pick up this dog?"

Who would be so cruel to let go of such a cute dog?

People who can afford to raise dogs will not abandon the dogs while they are still nursing. If you raise a dog for sale, you will indeed abandon it if you see a weak dog, but this dog looks so strong and chubby, and it doesn't look like a sick dog at all.

Wei Liu thought about it and couldn't help but said: "If you give me this dog, I will treat it well and never let it suffer."

Xu Yi did not agree to it in a hurry.

He looked at Yan Quyue who was waiting in the carriage.

Yan Quyue heard their conversation clearly, and when she saw him looking over, she smiled and said: "If Wei Langjun likes it, it's a good thing to keep him, but Dong'er's injury hasn't healed yet. If you raise it, its legs may become lame. "

Have you given it a name?" Wei Liu was stunned.

But he quickly thought of something and quickly lowered his head to check the puppy in his arms.

Ah Jin made a tailor-made suit for Dong Er, stuffed with soft cotton wool. It was warm and comfortable, and he also wrapped the broken leg.

Wei Liu didn't notice it at first, but now she took a closer look and saw something suspicious.

He really wanted to say that he could raise the dog well, but he thought that the dog already had a name. If he wanted to take it away, he would be taking away his love.

Wei Liu had only performed this drama in his novel.
