Song Yi

Chapter 158
Du Wenhao said with a smile: "I think so, but this little guy refuses to eat meat. He only eats steamed buns and rice. Telling him to eat meat is like telling him to eat poison. There is nothing he can do. It has been several months. I have tried all kinds of methods, but it just doesn’t eat meat——a tiger doesn’t eat meat, but eats rice and steamed buns, and sending it back to the mountain doesn’t mean killing it, because it will starve to death.”

Qian Bushou frowned: "However, it's not good for people to know about keeping tigers at home, especially if we run a pharmacy, I'm afraid customers won't dare to come to the door."

Yingzi hugged the little tiger cub tightly, pouted and said, "Our little one is more obedient and obedient than a cat. He doesn't even eat meat, so how could he hurt people?"

"But others don't know!"

Du Wenhao waved his hand and said: "Don't argue, Xiao Ke can't be allowed to show up in front of others during this time, and when Xiao Ke eats meat, he will be sent back to the mountain! The tiger is the king of the mountain, so staying in the capital is really not acceptable. "

Yingzi looked at Xiao Ke in her arms very aggrieved, and Xiao Ke also looked at her pitifully, as if she was about to cry.

Early the next morning, General Gao came to visit with a team of guards, and sent Du Wenhao a large box of jiaozi, a total of [-] guan.Although the money and goods were settled, Du Wenhao still asked General Gao to sign the deed.

Now that their identities have been restored, Du Wenhao and the others have all restored their original names, and the pharmacy must also restore their original names.Du Wenhao asked Steward Jia to find someone to re-order a golden signboard.Not accepting the money, he also personally invited Dr. Taichang, who was in charge of offering sacrifices to the Royal Ancestral Temple, and Mi Fu, a famous calligrapher, to write a plaque of "Wuweitang".

Du Wenhao is not good at calligraphy. Although he knows the name of this great calligrapher, he is much calmer than when he met Qian Yi. Of course, respect for celebrities is still necessary.

When the plaque was hung, firecrackers and lanterns were generally not set off when the pharmacy opened, and no banquet was held to celebrate, so the name of Wuweitang was restored peacefully.

However, Du Wenhao's pharmacy business flourished quickly.

The fact that he sold a prescription for 10 taels of silver has spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. No matter whether people are interested in doctors or not, they all have a strong interest in this sale. It is a hot topic discussed after dinner in Beijing.

What the sick people are more concerned about is that they now know that this young doctor who sold a prescription for [-] silver turned out to be the master of Qian Taiyicheng of the Imperial Hospital, who is good at Hua Tuo's magical technique of laparotomy, so, for a while, There is an endless stream of patients who come to see a doctor, and a considerable part of them are patients with acute abdomen.Du Wenhao's laparotomy was justifiably carried out.Every patient with successful abdominal surgery has become a voluntary propagandist of his medical skills.

Therefore, for a period of time thereafter, the business of the new Wuweitang pharmacy was several times more prosperous than before. The capital is prosperous and the population is large, so the business of the pharmacy at this time has far exceeded that when it was in the county.

Du Wenhao couldn't be too busy alone, so he asked his apprentice Yan Miaoshou to work as a doctor in Wuweitang without accepting the money. After all, Yan Miaoshou had followed the money for many years, and his medical skills were still very good, especially in surgery.This helped Du Wenhao a lot.

He refused to accept the money and wrote a letter to Huantou, who rushed to the county, asking him to sell the pharmacy in the county, and move his family to the capital with Pang Xianwei and his family to follow Du Wenhao to study medicine and see a doctor.

Xue Fei'er and Pang Yuqin, after studying medicine for the past few months, have improved a lot in their medical skills, and are able to deal with some simple ailments. With Du Wenhao at the end of the check, they are also decent doctors.Therefore, although the number of patients has increased significantly, Du Wenhao, Yan Miaoshou and the second daughter can barely cope with it, but they are busy all day long and have no free time.

Not long after that day, Du Wenhao discovered that the guards around him who were secretly monitoring and protecting him had been greatly reduced. This made Du Wenhao feel at ease, indicating that this prescription may have been leaked to Xixia or Daliao, and his own protection value is of course less. Then it decreased.He thought to himself that the day when all the guards were withdrawn would be the time when Xi Xia and Daliao had mastered the formula, and it would be the time when he would regain his freedom.

This day came even sooner than Du Wenhao imagined.

A month later, Housekeeper Jia notified Du Wenhao that the Ministry of War had canceled all orders.

A few days later, Housekeeper Jia took his guards Hu Yanzhong, Xin Jiuniang and others to bid farewell to Du Wenhao with a dejected expression.

Du Wenhao pretended to ask what happened.Housekeeper Jia didn't hide anything, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Du, the Ministry of War said that there is no need for us to stay to protect you, so we have been withdrawn."

"There's no need to protect me? Why?"

"Because we have hidden secret reports from Xixia and Daliao that the prescription you sold to the imperial court has been taken away by Xixia and Daliao's secret agents. They have already started to manufacture isolation suits, gas masks and disinfectants in large quantities. Therefore, The large-scale epidemic of Xixia plague has been quickly brought under control."

Du Wenhao pretended to be surprised: "How did this happen? Who revealed it? ——I didn't say it, you have been following me all this time, you can testify for me!"

Housekeeper Jia forced a smile: "Of course, now that things have happened, I can tell you the truth. We are your guards, and we are also monitoring you. Your every move is monitored. We can be sure that you have not betrayed the formula. And , Now it has been found out that the recipe was sold to Xixia and Daliao at a high price by a Yuanwailang from the Ministry of War. This Yuanwailang has fled Daliao, and his family and relatives have all been sent to prison."

As expected, Du Wenhao secretly laughed in his heart. The Xixia plague was brought under control, which made Du Wenhao very happy.

The guards had all withdrawn, and the huge Du mansion seemed a bit empty, but Du Wenhao and all the girls felt that this kind of free breathing was much more comfortable than before, and the mood was much happier.

On this day, Du Wenhao, Pang Yuqin, Xue Feier, and Yan Miaoshou were sitting in the front hall for consultation. At this time, several carriages came to the door, but the two of them didn't pay attention, thinking they were patients.

After a while, someone at the door shouted in surprise: "Qin'er!"

Pang Yuqin looked up and saw a dozen people standing at the door.The first person is the grandma I miss day and night!

The people behind are Zhan Ti and Zhan's mother, the doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the people around them are their parents, aunt, sister, younger sister Dou'er, and the nurse holding the tiger cub. The next few were the magistrate of Zhuang County, with two concubines and a disciple who didn't accept money.

"Grandma!" Pang Yuqin was overwhelmed with surprise, and hurried forward to meet her and threw herself into her arms, "Grandma! You are here!"

"Qin'er! My sweetheart..." Mother Pang wept with joy, "I thought you were really..., thank God! God, grandma is going crazy with joy when she finds out that you are still alive! It's so good... ..."

Mrs. Liu, her second grandmother Yu'er, and Pang Yuqin's second sister also came over and hugged Pang Yuqin, crying.

Only the fourth young lady, Dou'er, with two snotty noses, was only three or four years old and didn't understand life and death, and her family didn't tell her that the third sister was dead, so she wasn't too surprised to see the third sister, holding a candied haws in her hand, After looking at her with two dark eyes, he walked up to Du Wenhao: "Sir, do you eat candied haws?"

The nurse hugged Huzi and came over, she came over with tears in her eyes and said angrily, "Silly boy, this is your brother-in-law, you can't call me sir, you have to call me third brother-in-law!"

"Oh," Dou'er nodded, and passed the candied haws in his hand, "Third brother-in-law, I'll eat it for you!"

Du Wenhao laughed and said, "Brother-in-law won't eat it, you can eat it yourself." Looking at Pang Jinghui and the others, he didn't know whether to go up to see him or wait a while.

Just as he was hesitating, a gust of fragrant wind blew by, and a sweet voice came from his ear, crying: "Brother! You scared my little sister to death!"

Du Wenhao turned his head to look, but it was Meier, the oiran girl from Mianchun Garden!Weeping in tears.

Thinking of the past that the two of them almost became a dewy couple in Mianchun Garden, and remembering Meier's extreme charm, Du Wenhao couldn't help but feel warm and heartbeat. Now that his wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law are all by his side, he dare not make a mistake. I didn't want to talk to her at first, but when she saw her shedding tears when she saw his true feelings, I was a little moved, and said in a low voice: "It's Miss Meier, why are you here?"

Meier also knew the occasion, and she was not overly affectionate with Du Wenhao. She turned her head and glanced at the two concubines in Zhuang Zhi County: "It was the two sisters who redeemed me for me, and recognized me as a godmother, and came with them The capital. Unexpectedly, I found out that my brother is still alive, my little sister is so happy..." Speaking of this, the words choked up, and the tears rolled down.

Du Wenhao was about to say a few words of comfort, but Hantou was already crying and knelt down and kowtowed: "Master! You..., your disciples and grandchildren pay homage to the master, and know that the master is still alive. It is a great joy..."

Du Wenhao hurriedly helped him up.

The county lieutenant Pang Jinghui looked at the old mother, wife and daughter hugging each other and crying, and his eyes were red, he waved his hand and said, "Don't cry anymore, take care of your daughter, it's too ridiculous to leave Wen Hao alone, right? Master Zhan is also here, this is at the pharmacy, Wen Hao, let's go in and talk!"

Du Wenhao greeted the waiting patients first, asked them to wait for a while, and then hurriedly let everyone go to the inner house.

Come to the inner house, after the guests and hosts are seated.Du Wenhao blushed, took two steps forward, came to the county captain Pang Jinghui's father and Pang mother, lifted his robes and knelt down and kowtowed: "My son-in-law pays respects to grandma, father-in-law, and mother-in-law!"

Pang Yuqin also knelt down beside her husband and kowtowed: "Grandma, father, mother, please forgive my daughter for being unfilial and secretly following her husband to hide in the capital by feigning death. It surprised you." He kowtowed a few times.

Pang Jinghui and Liu hurriedly stepped forward to help them up respectively, and pulled them to sit down.The family originally thought their daughter was dead, but now they suddenly heard that their daughter is still alive and married to Du Wenhao. His Excellency's mother, Lord Zhan therefore promoted them several grades and transferred them to the capital to serve as officials, so that they were able to reunite with their daughter and son-in-law. They all deeply felt that the decision to choose a son-in-law was correct.
