132. The most troublesome intrigue

Chen Mingyuan sat in the main hall of the Xu family and looked around. He heard the footsteps of his silk shoes rubbing against the ground, and quickly withdrew his gaze and sat upright.

The lotus leaves shook their braids, placed the tea bowl in front of Chen Mingyuan, said "Please use tea", and then turned the tray and retreated. These are all the habits they developed at Xu Hanlin's house. Now they live in Xu Xiaole's humble house, but they still haven't changed.

Chen Mingyuan's family's financial conditions are actually much better than that of the Xu family. They have two stores rented to others to do business, and there are two older brothers who are second shopkeepers in big business and accounting. However, his house cannot be compared with here, let alone the small building behind them, there is not even a yard.

In addition to the well-mannered lotus leaves, the gentle and generous Mei Qing, and the famous sister Tong and Hu whom he had no chance to see... Chen Mingyuan had already compiled the whole history of the rise and fall of wealthy families in his mind, and was both envious and sympathetic to Xu Xiaole.

Xu Xiaole got up early and finished practicing martial arts. She was scrubbing by the well water. When he saw Heye running over, he said to him with a red face: "Brother Xiaole, there are people from Changchun Hall waiting for you in the main hall. Do you want to meet?"

Xu Xiaole was a little surprised and asked casually: "Who is it?"

He Ye reported Chen Mingyuan's name.

Xu Xiaole was even more surprised. Why did Chen Mingyuan come to Mudu? He changed into clothes in a few seconds and strode to the hall.

Chen Mingyuan heard the footsteps and turned around and saw Xu Xiaole coming out. He quickly got up and bowed, with respect and enthusiasm in his voice: "Xiaole, you are here."

Xu Xiaole was a little surprised. Chen Mingyuan was not so polite when he was in Changchun Hall. He hurriedly replied to the gifts and sat opposite Chen Mingyuan, without any greetings, and said straight to the point: "Why is Brother Mingyuan here?"

Chen Mingyuan cleared his throat: "As Zhongqiu, my boss sent a festive gift, and the shopkeeper Gu asked me to deliver it."

Xu Xiaole was scheming and said, "Oh, maybe I'm wrong. Before I left, I met Manager Gu, and he had already sent me a bodding gift, which was a big red envelope. Could it be that he forgot?"

Chen Mingyuan cursed in his heart: It’s a big bodhisattva! Gu Xuan’s stingy guy just invited everyone to have a meal!

The simplest thing is to be a mate. The food given by the boss is good and the wages are high. They sincerely regard the boss as a god. If the boss deducts some, they can curse the 18th generation of ancestors of the boss in a blink of an eye. Especially when they know that the boss treats the people below differently, it will add fuel to the fire. For example, Xu Xiaole is also polite.

Still two!

Chen Mingyuan rubbed his face, and after a long time he smiled, he said, "Shopkeeper Gu repeatedly took care of what I was going to deliver, how could he be wrong? If you give us Changchun Hall a big face, he should give you two bodhis gifts. What's more, I have something to do now."

Xu Xiaole looked at the gift wrapped in red paper on the table. There were four pieces of big and small, and they were given the lottery tickets of the Four Seasons Peace, which was considered a generous gift. He said, "I am a little guy, what do you want to ask for? What does the shopkeeper Gu want me to do?"

Chen Mingyuan said, "Let me go back to Changchun Hall today."

Xu Xiaole was stunned: "I took a leave, why are you so anxious to ask me to go back? Is there not enough staff?" He thought that he was just OEM for Li Xiqiang. Even if there was not enough staff, could he be able to bear it?

Chen Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "There are too many people now."

Xu Xiaole was wrong: "Oh, do you want me to pay for the wages?" He was quite disappointed. Based on the teenager's self-esteem, he forced himself to say, "I didn't want to do it anymore. Since Changchun Hall has too many people, I just don't go, so why bother me to bring me any gifts? It's better not to pay for the wages."

Anyway, I have been doing it for ten days in August, and it’s really not worth the trip of Qiu Laohutian. What’s more, I gave him ten taels of silver before the festival, which is already very generous.

Chen Mingyuan's sweat rolled down his head and said, "Where are you thinking about it? It's because you have more people to go back quickly."

Xu Xiaole said confusedly: "This is a bit inconvenient."

Chen Mingyuan picked up the tea and took a sip, and said, "Not two days after you got home, a doctor Yang came to the museum, and brought four or five apprentices. He was very arrogant. He said he was a famous doctor in Hejian Mansion. Because he admired our Suzhou, his family moved. Now he is in the clinic like a chatterer."

Xu Xiaole said oh, but still didn't understand: "What are you in a hurry to ask me to go back?"

Chen Mingyuan choked: Do you want me to say that your master can’t handle many diseases, so do you want to go back and catch the knife?

He thought about it and changed his statement: "Doctor Yang is the most unruly. Mr. Li is safe in treating the disease and cannot be effective for the moment. Then Dr. Yang sent an apprentice to win over the patient and turned to him to see him."

Xu Xiaole knew that Li Xiqiang's level was ordinary. If Uncle Master hadn't caught him with a knife, he would have been labeled as a quack doctor. He disagreed and said, "Who is not watching? It is true that patients suffer less."

Chen Mingyuan didn't expect Xu Xiaole to help the doctor or not, so he quickly said, "Doctor Yang can be optimistic! He can just say it, but the final result is, haha."

Xu Xiaole hesitated and said, "What do my master and shopkeeper Gu mean?"

Chen Mingyuan said: "Of course I hate him very much." He quickly added: "I'm afraid that he will cure people. When the patient suffers, he will smash the Changchuntang brand again."

Xu Xiaole is sometimes a little confused, sometimes a little bastard, but his medical ethics were instilled by his uncle, and he is the doctor who is the most unwilling tolerate "trapping patients".

Chen Mingyuan said again: "You think, Xiaole, Hejian Mansion, where is that place? What disease can the doctor over there cure? He also came to our Suzhou Mansion. Tsk, God knows if he was involved in a lawsuit and escaped!"

Xu Xiaole didn't know where Hejian Mansion was, but only knew it was far away from the north.

Since the Song Dynasty, the south was richer than the north, with more people studying medicine, convenient for printing medical books and magazines, and higher medical skills. The northern provinces were tossed by the Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols for hundreds of years, and it was not until Emperor Taizu that he was admitted to the king's transformation. His economic and cultural level was much behind that of the south. It was precisely because of the huge gap that the Ming Dynasty selected scholars to the imperial examinations to create the north and south list, so that the court would not have been all southerners.

Therefore, southern doctors look down on northern doctors, which has become a trend in the Xinglin.

Xu Xiaole thought for a while and said, "Since others are unreliable and Manager Gu hates him, why do you still let him sit in the restaurant?"

Chen Mingyuan had no choice but to say, "He was also arranged by his boss."

It is true that Gu Xuan was arranged by the boss, and this Doctor Yang was also arranged by the boss. It is said that it is the "Origin", but it is different when divided. Gu Xuan is the eldest son, and this Doctor Yang is the second son. This is the struggle that the fifth son of the Gu family is unknown to outsiders.

Xu Xiaole felt his head abruptly, so he waved his hand and said, "I won't go back. Please give my master a message and say I'm going to quit my job. I'm most annoying about this kind of intrigue."

Chen Mingyuan's legs became weak in an instant, and he almost knelt down for Xu Xiaole. If he took these words back, Manager Gu wouldn't have skinned him!
