Chapter 91

Zhang Tiegou followed Xu Yi's gaze and looked at the red fox fur in his hand, and said honestly: "This thing is difficult to catch. I was afraid of destroying the fur, so I set a trap and squatted on it for a long time before I caught it."

He threw the red fox fur to Ah Jin who was nearby.

Ah Jin was not afraid, and immediately opened the dirty cloth on the outside, revealing the intact fox fur inside.

"Wow, this is such a beautiful fur!" the two children exclaimed with bright eyes.

Ah Jin happily shook the hair, which was half a meter wide, and touched the smooth hair in his hands. He thought happily that other men had fox scarves, so his husband must have one too.

This fox fur is so beautiful, it will definitely look better if it is made into a scarf and worn on the husband.

Xu Yi smiled helplessly and asked Zhang Tiegou: "Why did you come back so late from this trip to Zitong?"

Zhang Tiegou casually sat on a wooden bench in the yard. In order to keep warm, Xu Yi placed a charcoal brazier at the foot of the wooden table. When you get down, it's just right to warm your feet.

He exhaled, raised his head and drank the warm tea handed over by Xu Yi into his stomach, and then said: "We stayed in Zitong for five days, and after preparing all the necessary goods, the merchant's customer wanted to go to Diandi. They wanted to collect a batch of furs at a low price. Who would have thought that it would snow heavily the day they arrived? "

They were trapped in Diandi Road and could not get out. The road back to Zitong County was buried in snow again, and they would not be able to leave for a while. , we can only be forced to stay in Diandi Road.

After being detained for three days in a row, someone in the ranks caught wind and cold, and was suffering from high fever.

Fortunately, Zhang Tiegou came to see Xu Yi before leaving this time and bought some anti-cold medicine from Xu Yi.

Zhang Tiegou had no illness or disaster along the way, and all the anti-cold medicine he brought out was used on this man, and he finally got him back from the Lord of Hell.

"When he came back this time, he wanted to come with me to thank you. I said no, just let him give me the money for the medicine." Zhang Tiegou said.

He bought the medicine from Xu Yi and it cost him thirty cash.

You can't just give it to someone else for nothing. Fortunately, that person was also sensible and knew that Zhang Tiegou wanted money, so he paid back the money for the medicine and didn't mention following him to Xu Yi's place again.

Xu Yi listened with raised eyebrows and asked Zhang Tiegou some things about the county outside.

Knowing that the price of medicine in Zitong County is not much cheaper than that in Yanting County, the merchants on this trip all stocked up on heating items, such as firewood, charcoal, cotton and linen.

Zhang Tiegou also said that when they were in Zitong County, they also heard news about Yinping County.

It is said that Yinping County has a new county magistrate. The magistrate is quite young, only 28 years old, and he was a Jinshi. Within a month after arriving in Yinping County, he arrested and imprisoned several officials who had taken bribes. service.

"These are all said by traveling businessmen. I don't know whether they are true or false." Zhang Tiegou said to Xu Yi.

He looked indifferent, scratching his head and saying, it had nothing to do with him anyway.

Xu Yi also listened as if it was something interesting and didn't think much about anything else.

The two finally met. Xu Yi wanted to keep Zhang Tiegou down for lunch, but Zhang Tiegou shook his head and said something was wrong.

They just settled in the county last night, and the goods they brought back have not yet been counted, and the employer has not yet settled the remaining money with him.

Xu Yi knew that he had something important to do, so he asked him to wait.

He went to the kitchen and took out a packet of medicinal powder and asked him to take it back and soak it in water to wash his hair.

I washed it three times to get rid of the lice eggs on my head.

"Is there any?" Zhang Tiegou was stunned, and raised his hand to scratch his head with some itching.

Xu Yi: "..."

"While you were talking to me, you have scratched me no less than ten times."

The voice fell, and the iron dog fell silent.

He picked up the insecticide powder Xu Yi gave him and stuffed it into his arms. His arms suddenly bulged, and he said in a muffled voice: "Then I'm leaving."

...

In the next two days, Ah Jin spent the next two days giving Xu Yi Yi makes a red fox scarf.

The fur of the red fox is gorgeous, and the complete fur can be sold at the shop where it is purchased, which can fetch a few dollars at least.

Ah Jin measured the size of Xu Yi's scarf and cut it into shape with scissors. He praised the red fox's soft and smooth fur, saying that it looked no worse than Xin Langjun's.

Xin Shengyuan often wore a red fox scarf with fine fur, which made his lips red and white, making him look more noble.

Xu Yi didn't think so. He felt that wearing such a red scarf was a bit too eye-catching.

Instead, Ah Jin said: "Lang Jun is born well, but he always likes to wear clothes of a few colors. You don't even wear the beautiful clothes like Xin Langjun and Tao Langjun. Others also wear headbands, Lang Jun." I don't wear it either, it covers up all the good colors. "

In her opinion, Xu Yi should wear something that looks good like that.

"This is the red fox that Zhang Langjun finally hunted for you. If Langjun doesn't wear it, wouldn't Zhang Langjun's thoughts be lost?"

Xu Yi: "..." How could he not know this before? The girl still has the ability to persuade people.

Not to mention, he was really persuaded to hesitate.

Thinking about Zhang Tiegou coming back from hiking mountains and wading that day, he immediately came to look for him, and he could no longer say no.

"That's all, since you made a scarf for me, I'll wear it." Xu Yi said helplessly with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Ah Jin was so happy that both of his eyebrows arched, and he hurriedly made the scarf.

In the evening, as the night grew darker, the cold wind outside blew the treetops, and incense was lit in the house. As the faint fragrance floated, Xu Yi heard Ah Jin's happy cry from the next room.

Then, he heard Ah Jin running towards him, Xu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and his eyes fell on the door.

The next moment, Ah Jin appeared in front of her, holding a red fox scarf in her hand, and shouted: "Lang Jun, I'm done, you try it quickly."

Ah Jin sewed a layer of soft cotton inside the scarf. , the stitches are tight and there is no gap. Looking back at the outer fur, it is so fluffy that it is difficult to find the needle and thread.

With Ah Jin's increasingly fine needlework, this scarf is indeed as good as Xin Shengyuan's.

As soon as Xu Yi put it on his neck, he felt a lot of warmth on his neck.

He smiled and took off the scarf: "Thank you for your hard work, Ah Jin."

Ah Jin quickly shook her head: "It's not hard, Ah Jin."

She saw that Xu Yi was busy with the account book, so she didn't disturb him anymore, which was a blessing to her body. , and left the house backwards.

*

On this day, Xu Yi called Yu Qiulin, gave him fifty packets of Xiaoshi pills, and ordered him to set up a stall in the Chenghuang Temple market first.

"If you put up the 'Chen's Xiaoshi Pills' sign, you won't have to worry about no one buying it. However, the price can only be sold at 20 cents per pack, and no additional price can be added."

Yu Qiulin was very happy, and finally arrived. It’s time he could sell Xiaoshi pills.

He knew that A Xu A Jin could make at least two to three hundred digestion pills every day.

It wasn't a lot, but it was a lot. If he hadn't been short of money, he would have really wanted to buy them all.

What's more, the price Xu Yi gave him was very fair, based on ten cents per bag.

In this case, he can sell a pack of Xiaoshi Pills for ten cents!

A bale is worth ten cents, fifty bales is five cents, which is as much as the monthly money he used to make at Bao's house.

Yu Qiulin would never have thought that Xu Yi was helping him, otherwise, such a good thing would never happen to him.

"Brother Yi, how can you treat me so well?" Yu Qiulin suppressed the joy in his heart and asked with a slightly choked voice.

Xu Yi smiled lightly and said calmly: "At that time, I sold the Xiaoshi Pills to Jishitang for the same price. I couldn't sell them to you and exchange them for a different price. Besides, I sold the Xiaoshi Pills to you. It can also save some worry. "

Xu Yi's words are true. He has more important things to do. Now he is well-known in Yanting County, and many people in the county know him as a doctor.

Although there are some who question his age and identity, there are also many people who come to see him for medical treatment.

As for A-Xu and A-Jin, it's winter now, so they don't have to help with the medicinal materials, but there are many other trivial things. A Xu is responsible for buying food and cooking, while A Jin is responsible for housework and various needlework and careful work.

He also had to allocate time to prepare Xiaoshi Pills...

Coupled with the abundant money on hand, Xu Yi was not that enthusiastic about selling Xiaoshi Pills.

After he knew Yu Qiulin's thoughts that day, he thought that he might as well give him this opportunity.

After all, if it weren't for Yu Qiulin, there would be another "Ji Shi Tang" who would have entered Xu Yi's eyes and become a new partner.

This kind of truth cannot be explained clearly to Yu Qiulin.

What's more, Yu Qiulin is not a stupid person. He quickly understood the meaning of Xu Yi's unfinished words. He didn't say much, he just said that he would do business in Xiaoshi Pills and would not have other thoughts.

For Yu Qiulin, being able to get such an opportunity was a blessing from God. He didn't dare to think about anything else, especially when the person who gave him this opportunity was Xu Yi.

Not others.

Not long after Yu Qiulin left with Xiaoshi Pills, someone from the Xing family on the other side came.

It was Xing Yuesen’s attendant Amu who came.

After Amu bowed his head, he lowered his head and said, "Doctor Xu, my husband asked me to inquire about the house on West Street. I just came back from asking questions at the dental shop, and the agent in charge of the house told me "The owner of this house does not intend to sell the house, but only wants to rent it out."

Xu Yi asked him: "Do you know how much the rent will cost?"

Amu quickly replied: "In reply to Dr. Xu, the agent said that the house is available." It's 80% new, and it costs fifteen guan to rent it for a year."

When Xu Yi saw what he said, he knew that the rent was not cheap. Although the South Street area was cheaper, the house price was higher than that in the suburbs, just because the apartments were smaller. Just cheaper.

The house Xu Yi lives in now was bought by his original parents for twenty dollars.

The cost of renting a house for one year is almost as much as the cost of buying a house.

Amu came here today because Xing Yuesen was not on vacation and could not come in person. However, he asked Amu to go to the agent and get the registration book of the house that is now listed for sale in the county.

I found a few that were in good locations and entered the hospital, sorted them out and asked Amu to send them over.

Amu continued to hang his head, put the letter with both hands, and said: "Lang Jun said that these families are not bad. I asked Doctor Xu to pay attention and take a look first. If there is anyone suitable, call the people below to report it, and then go Looking for an agent to look at the house."

Ah Jin, who was boiling water in the kitchen, said to his brother: "Mr. Money?"

"I don't know." A Xu shook his head.

Xu Yi wanted to buy a house without hiding it from the two of them, but compared to looking forward to living in a bigger house, they were more worried that Lang Jun would spend a lot of money.

There were not many opportunities for them to make money for Lang Jun. Thinking about the money they would earn from making Xiaoshi pills every day, how many days and nights would it take to save enough money to buy a house.

Xu Yi, who was in the room, got several houses written by Xing Yuesen and looked at the location, area and price of each house above.

He didn't expect that Xing Yuesen would be so dedicated when he said that he would help him find out about the house.

"Isn't your husband preparing for the exam next spring? Why are you distracted and helping me with all this? Will it delay his studies?" Xu Yi asked.

Amu was stunned and hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "Lang Jun has been reading at home at night for the past few days. He can't sleep for more than two hours a day. I can't persuade him. If Dr. Xu sees Lang Jun, I hope he will Can you give me some advice?"

Xu Yi didn't expect this answer from Amu, so he asked: "Who ordered you?"

Amu didn't dare to hide it: "The old man asked me to say it, and the old man couldn't persuade Lang Jun. , I'm afraid that my husband will be overworked and hurt his body. "

Studying is not easy. The old man of the Xing family and Yuan Xing thought that Xing Yuesen would win the exam, but they were not willing to study hard.

From Amu’s words, we learned that Xing Yuesen has been sleeping in the study since he finished serving porridge in the tent.

Otherwise, it would not be necessary to call Xu Yi and give him a few words of advice.

Xu Yi: "..." This brother of his does have the hardworking spirit to forget about food and sleep.

Thinking of Xing Yuesen's character, Xu Yi felt that it would be useless to persuade him.

But Xu Yi still agreed and said, "When you go back, tell me that I will persuade Brother Xing to make the old man feel at ease."

After that, he told Amu that he wanted to visit the house again and called He introduced him to the agent responsible for managing the house.

No matter how busy you are, you can't leave everything to others. When it comes to your home, you still have to deal with it yourself.

Therefore, Xu Yi told Amu that he would go to Xing Mansion in two days. After meeting Xing Yuesen, he would go to the agent who bought and sold the house.

The days passed quickly, and the day to meet came as scheduled.

On this day, Xu Yi, wearing a red fox scarf and a plain wide-sleeved toga, got into Uncle Liu's ox cart and strolled outside the Xing Mansion.

After getting out of the car, a servant soon came to open the door and lead Xu Yi into the yard.

Xu Yi followed the young man into the backyard, passed through the cloister, walked around the doors of two small courtyards, and saw an arched door. After entering through the arched door, the boy walking in front turned sideways and said, "Doctor Xu, we're here."

Xu Yi raised his eyes and looked at the mahogany door of the room in front.

He glanced left and right and saw no one else around. It was so quiet that there was no other movement, and he knew where this was.

"Knock, knock."

Xu Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, a casual voice came from the room: "Come in."

Xu Yi heard his words and opened the door and came in.

At this time, Xing Yuesen was writing something at his desk. He didn't even raise his head. He continued to write and said, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me if you have nothing to do?"

Xu Yi laughed twice and said, "When will you Did you tell me?"

Xing Yuesen's writing hand suddenly paused. He looked up and saw Xu Yi wearing a scarf.

The Xu Yi I met before mostly had the aura of a scholar, or the image of a gentle doctor.

I have never seen Xu Yi dressed like a wealthy official.

It actually makes him look a bit like Xin Yao, but he is a little more steady and less arrogant than Xin Yao.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Xing Yuesen clicked his tongue twice and asked him with a smile.

Xu Yi rolled up his sleeves with some embarrassment: "Ah Jin asked me to wear it."

Xing Yuesen joked: "Ah Jin took the initiative and allowed you to go out in such a handsome look."

Xu Yi: "... ..."

Xu Yi didn't answer his words, walked around the table and looked around, and said to him: "I didn't come here today to make you laugh at me. The old lady feels sorry for you and asked me to advise you to go back to your room to sleep. Stop sleeping in the study."

Xing Yuesen was stunned, and the smile on his face disappeared and moved to Xu Yi's face.

After Xu Yi finished talking to him, he didn't give him a chance to respond, saying that besides this, he wanted to thank him for helping him inquire about the house.

"You prepare well for the exam. As for the house, I will contact the agent myself. When I buy a house that I like, I will invite you to a housewarming party."

After hearing this, Xing Yuesen pinched his eyebrows and said distressedly: "Okay, I I know what you're here for."

In addition to deliberately teasing him, I just didn't want him to be distracted and asked him to study his homework carefully.

"I'm afraid you agreed to the old man and asked me to study hard instead. Are you doing the opposite?" Xing Yuesen looked at him. Xu Yi shook his

head: "No, I really recommend you to study.

"

If you succeed in passing the examination, you will be able to save the need to take the exam again, and you can make persistent efforts to win the Jinshi exam."

Xing Yuesen: "..."

Very good, he was encouraged.
