Among them was Xu Jiaorong who was wandering in the street.
"Huh? This...isn't this Mr. Ling!" Xu Jiaorong was first surprised by Ling Chi's clothes, but after seeing Ling Chi's appearance, she immediately stepped forward and said, "But Mr. Ling in person?"
Ling Chi stopped, looked at Xu Jiaorong who was walking towards him, and said with a smile: "So it's Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li also came to hang out in the street?"
Seeing that Ling Chi recognized her, Xu Jiaorong breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Yes! Isn't it the Chinese New Year, so I went out to buy some things for the Chinese New Year. I wonder if Mr. Ling's family has all the New Year's goods?"
"I've already bought everything." Ling Chi smiled and said, "I don't know how is Captain Li doing?"
"Okay, ever since Mr. Ling wiped out the thief who stole the treasury silver, my husband has never been hit by a board. I want to thank Mr. Ling here." After saying that, Xu Jiaorong was about to salute.
"Madam Li, you don't need to be too polite." Ling Chi waved his hands and said, "It's just that the meeting coincides with the occasion, so I just do it as I please."
"For Mr. Ling, it was easy, but for this concubine, it avoided the danger of being dismissed and investigated. I wonder if Mr. Ling is free now? I would like to invite Mr. Ling to come to my house for a while, thank you very much Mr. Ling one or two." Xu Jiaorong said.
"Hmm..." Ling Chi thought for a while, and said, "That's fine, the left and right are fine now, so I will disturb Mrs. Li."
Seeing Ling Chi's agreement, Xu Jiaorong was very happy: "That's great, Mr. Ling, you two girls, please come with me."
"Madam Lao Li will lead the way."
The fact that Xu Jiaorong invited Ling Chi to her home as a guest was seen by many good people and kept in their hearts. Apart from guessing what relationship Ling Chi had with Xu Jiaorong, most of them thought highly of Xu Jiaorong and Xu Jiaorong. Li Gongfu took a look: he has friendship with the young master of the Ling family, it seems that the Li family is about to prosper.
Ignoring the thoughts of passers-by, the group of four quickly arrived at Xu Jiaorong's home.Although Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu are just ordinary families, the country was indeed rich and the people were rich in the Southern Song Dynasty. Even ordinary families lived in several houses and even had a large yard. In modern times, it would be a single-family courtyard. The quality of the courtyard house, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.But in this era, the people of the Southern Song Dynasty did have a good life.It is no wonder that the Southern Song Dynasty became the only dynasty in which civil and military officials and common people would rather jump into the river to commit suicide than surrender when the country was subjugated.
The Southern Song Dynasty indeed allowed the common people to live a good life, but it was a pity that it was eventually destroyed by barbarism, which is a pity.
"The humble house is simple, please don't dislike Mr. Ling and the two girls." Crossing the courtyard and entering the main hall, Xu Jiaorong said so.
"No." Ling Chi took a look at the layout and furnishings of the main hall, and praised: "Mrs. Li's house is very nice, and there is a strong sense of warmth in the house. It can be seen that the life of Mrs. Li's family is very harmonious and beautiful. envious."
"It's not as good as Mr. Ling said." Xu Jiaorong smiled all over his face and said: "Mr. Ling and the two girls, please sit down. I will go make tea right away."
"It's Mrs. Lau Lee."
While Xu Jiaorong was busy, she heard a knock on the door: "Open the door, open the door!"
Hearing this rude call to the door, Ling Chi knew that it was Li Gongfu who had returned, and Xu Jiaorong hurried to open the door.
The door opened, Xu Jiaorong saw that Li Gongfu was reeking of alcohol, and immediately became angry: "Gongfu, why are you drinking again!?"
Seeing that his wife was angry, Li Gongfu coughed dryly and said, "I didn't drink much. Isn't this the yamen's annual holiday? Brothers will get together in advance. Don't worry, I really didn't drink much."
"It's no wonder I believe you." Xu Jiaorong rolled her eyes, if it wasn't for Ling Chi and the others, she would have slipped into Li Gongfu's ear and recited the magic spell so that he would know what it means to drink without the permission of the 'leader' fate.
"Come in, there are guests at home." Xu Jiaorong said.
"Guest? What guest?" Although Li Gongfu was drunk, his mind was clear. He glanced at the main hall, and immediately froze: "Mr. Ling?"
Ling Chi got up and cupped his fists: "Captain Li, it's been a long time."
"Uh, it's been a long time." Li Gongfu stepped into the main hall, seeing Ling Chi was accompanied by two beautiful women, his heart suddenly felt sour, and he said, "Why is Mr. Ling coming to the humble house today when you have time?"
"I met Mr. Ling on the street, and I specially invited you here." Xu Jiaorong walked in and said, "I'm preparing refreshments, Gongfu, you can have a good chat with Mr. Ling, don't be negligent."
"Don't worry! When has I, Li Gongfu, ever done something unreliable?" Li Gongfu took it all in.
Xu Jiaorong rolled her eyes, apologized to Ling Chi, and went to prepare refreshments.
Li Gongfu took off the long knife at his waist, put it on the table casually, and said, "Young Master Ling, haven't we seen each other for a few months?"
Chapter 403 A real man, a good man
"That's right." Ling Chi nodded: "Since I got the land deed and house deed that day, I haven't seen it again. But the snacks sent by Li Butou are delicious, thank you."
"Should be, should be." Li Gongfu said with some embarrassment: "I didn't know Mr. Ling was a superior person back then, and I neglected Mr. Ling. I didn't expect Mr. Ling to be broad-minded. Not only did he not care about me, but he also helped me so much. It’s reasonable, and I should thank you.”
Ling Chi smiled slightly: "Captain Li is being polite, I just happen to be meeting at the right time."
When the two were chatting, there was a knock on the door again. Li Gongfu paused and said, "My brother-in-law must be back. Mr. Ling, sit down for a while, and I will open the door."
Ling Chi nodded with a smile.
Soon, the door opened, and Li Gongfu's voice came: "Han Wen, where did you go today?"
"Brother-in-law, I'm not playing, I'm giving a New Year's gift to the teacher." Xu Xian's voice came over.
"Come in! There are guests at home today, come with me to meet the guests."
"Guest? Why does brother-in-law value the guest so much?"
"Young Master of the Qingbomen Ling Mansion, come with me quickly."
Ling Chi listened to the conversation between the two, showing a playful smile.
Li Gongfu quickly pulled Xu Xian into the room: "Mr. Ling, this is my brother-in-law Xu Xian, written in Chinese. He has read sage books for several years and is currently working as an apprentice in a pharmacy. Please take care of Mr. Ling in the future."
Ling Chi chuckled: "I can let Catcher Li say caring words in front of me, it seems that Catcher Li values this brother-in-law very much!"
Li Gongfu laughed dryly: "Han Wen is the only seedling of the Xu family. Of course I hope that he can spread branches and leaves for the Xu family in the future, and honor the ancestors."
Ling Chi smiled slightly, and looked at Xu Xian carefully.Although I had met Xu Xian once before, but I didn't take a closer look at it. At this moment, I saw that Xu Xian was eight or nine points similar to Ye Tong, but his skin was darker and his body was stronger.Even if Ye Tong disguised herself as a man, she still had a sense of weakness that couldn't be concealed, while Xu Xian didn't have it, but she was indeed pretty.
Ling Chi nodded and said with a smile: "Young Master Xu has a pretty face, I think many young girls like it!"
This sudden compliment made Xu Xian blush, and said hastily: "Young Master Ling, I'm just a poor boy, no girl would like it."
Ling Chi shook his head and said: "It's not terrible to be poor, what's terrible is being poor, lazy and ambitious. Since you are an apprentice in a pharmacy, you must want to open a pharmacy yourself in the future. Let me ask you, how long have you studied? How have you learned?" "
"I've only been studying for three months. I've just finished learning to identify medicines. The next step is to learn the effects of medicines and prescribe the right medicines." Xu Xian said, "The teacher said that I have a good understanding, and I will be a good doctor in the future."
"That's good." Ling Chi nodded, and said: "If you are not a good looker, you should be a good doctor. If you can live countless lives in the future, it is also a merit. I have some friendship with your brother-in-law. Since your brother-in-law asked me , I have to say nothing." Paused: "Let's do this! After you leave the teacher, I can pay to help you open a pharmacy. From now on, [-]% of the profit of the pharmacy will belong to me, and the rest will belong to you. If you pay for it in the future If you earn a lot, if you want to buy the pharmacy, you can also talk to me, and I will not stop you."
"Oh! That's great! This is great!" Li Gongfu was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Han Wen, thank you, Mr. Ling."
Xu Xian didn't expect that Ling Chi was really willing to help him, and he promised such a big benefit.This is equivalent to the fact that a modern medical student has just studied for a few months, and a local bigwig pays money and opens a store. He can open a pharmacy after he graduates. All he needs to pay is 30% of the main income. , and if you make more money in the future, you can also sell the store, so that all future profits will belong to you.
This kind of good thing can basically be called the dream of a poor medical student.Xu Xian didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity, and hastily bowed to Ling Chi: "Thank you, Mr. Ling, for your generous help. Xu Xian will not disappoint Mr. Ling."
"No courtesy." Ling Chi smiled slightly: "If you open a medicine store, where do you want to open it?"
"If I can choose, I hope it won't be too far away from my sister and brother-in-law's house." Xu Xian said: "In this way, when there is an accident, I can arrive in time."
"What nonsense!" Li Gongfu patted the back of Xu Xian's head: "Your sister and I are in good health! There will be no accidents!"
Xu Xian staggered as he was photographed, and said with a wry smile, "Brother-in-law, I didn't mean that, I just want both of us to arrive in time when something happens."
"But if there is an accident, it is true that we can rush to the scene as soon as possible." Ling Chi said: "Also, you can inquire about where there is a store nearby in the future. As long as you are satisfied, I will pay for it and buy it. Xu Xian learned something, so he spread the medicine."
