Chapter 172

Zhao Changqing's changes are not obvious, but they are enough to be surprising.

At least, Xia Wen felt that Zhao Changqing gradually became happier.

He had never seen a girl like Zhao Changqing, who was strong and fragile, and had a pair of sad eyes when she smiled. Xia Wen would occasionally think when she was idle, but I don’t know who made Zhao Changqing so hurt.

Zhuzhuang?

No, how is it possible? Zhao Changqing is just annoyed at best if such a scoundrel does something rogue.

That Mr. Liu San, who ruined her reputation?

Even more impossible, Zhao Changqing would definitely feel that such a playboy would be redundant at a glance.

Maybe it was the Major General Chu who was destined to be together... Xia Wen came to the border town for a long time and worked as a doctor in Zhao Changqing's pharmacy. I have heard that Zhao Changqing once had an excellent marriage...

Zhao Changqing said, "Doctor Xia is the first-class in our Mid-Autumn Festival holiday ceremony. A pair of sheep hind legs, a pair of elbows, four pieces of materials and four boxes of mooncakes. The second sister is second-class, and one pair of elbows, the rest is the same. Liangdong, you are four pieces of materials and four boxes of mooncakes. The rest are all paid a month's wage, two baskets of apples per person."

Xia Wen pulled back his thoughts and laughed, "Doctor Zhao is so polite."

Zhao Liangdong said happily, "Sister Qing, the entire border town's boss is no longer as generous as you." Ordinary shops send festival gifts, and the shopkeeper and the well-known manager may have some things, but they are not as generous as that. What's more, even he has a portion of the apprentice. The ingredients are taken from Ling's silk shop, not those inferior materials. As for mooncakes, they are the best snacks in Nanxiangyuan, and they are very decent even if they are taken out to walk among relatives.

Zhao Changqing laughed, "That's what the big holiday means. I'll take a day off tomorrow and don't need to work." Except for mooncakes and lamb legs and elbows, the rest are all their own things, and in fact they didn't cost much money.

Zhao Changqing had a generous face, but except for Zhao Liangdong, who lived in the shop, Xia Wenling's second sister hired a carriage outside in the evening, so she brought the festive gift from Zhao Changqing home.

Sister Ling was used to it, but when she got home, she heard her mother laughing and nagging a few times, "It's all my own people. It's just that Changqing sends some things to the shopkeeper, but what else do you want Changqing to do with these things? You shouldn't accept them."

Ling Erjie laughed, "Look at what my mother said, am I not the clerk in the shop?" She knew that her mother was happy to see the things, but she just said a few polite words. If Zhao Changqing only gave it to others but not herself, her mother would definitely have something else to say.

The mother and daughter talked a few gossips. Ling Erjie packed two boxes of mooncakes to Mr. Ling and sent them to Mr. Ling. The two old men asked a lot of things about the medicine shop. Ling Erjie said patiently.

Old Mrs. Ling said to her husband in private, "This child Changqing is becoming more capable."

Grandpa Ling sighed, "Yes."

I have many thoughts, but I just don’t resort to words.

However, the Xia family moved to the border town, not to mention that Mrs. Xia has always been a frugal person, and she didn't have a big fuss even in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unexpectedly, her eldest son brought back many things.

Mrs. Xia hurriedly asked, "Where did this?" The eldest son was not a person who was too busy using money.

Xia Wen said, "It's posted in the shop, please take care of it." He moved the things to the kitchen with the coachman. Mrs. Xia gave the car money, and the coachman said goodbye.

Xia Yu had already run out and saw it, as happy as a bird in the forest, and asked, "Brother, is this from your pharmacy? Brother, why do you send so many things? Even the materials are there. Don't put them in the kitchen, they will smell bad. I'll take them into the house." Then he put the four pieces of materials in the main room.

Mrs. Xia has seen these many things in turn and laughed, "Doctor Zhao is such a generous person. If you know that if you send these, you will save your family from buying them."

Xia Wen took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and gave it to his mother, "There is still one month's salary to do holiday expenses, mom, please collect it for household expenses."

Mrs. Xia happily accepted it and asked, "Does the pocket money I gave you before? If you go out to be a doctor, you are also a person with status, don't be too lazy."

"Yes, I have nowhere to use money." Xia Wen took hot water from the stove and went out to wash his hands.

Mrs. Xia said, "We can't eat so much. Two days ago, Mrs. Ji sent someone to deliver two bags of mooncakes. I used a basket to hold some fruits. You can take it to Ahran's house. Although his family does not lack this, it is our family's wish for the New Year."

Xia Wen replied, rested at home for a while before going to his former neighbor Ji's house.

Ji Rang was very happy when he saw Xia Wen, and smiled and joked, "How come you, the doctor, are you free now?"

Xia Wen laughed, "The festival will be celebrated tomorrow. My mother asked me to bring some fruits and keep them for whatever you want."

A maid came forward to pick her up. Ji Rang asked Xia Wen to sit down and said, "I know your old man's temper. Sister Fu'er's mother just gave her two bags of mooncakes, so you will come and return the gift immediately?"

"Is it necessary to return the gifts to you? It was Dr. Zhao who handed out a lot of things in the pharmacy, and there were two big baskets of apples." Xia Wen took the tea he brought with him and took a sip of it with a smile, "Thanks to Arnold who introduced me to this mission, Dr. Zhao is really a generous person."

Ji Rang nodded and said, "Madam Zhao is nothing to say and has a compassionate heart. By the way, what happened to the person you said last time is Zhu's name?"

"Zhuzhuang?"

"Yes, it's this name. Didn't you go and trouble Dr. Zhao?"

"What can I do? Doctor Zhao took them back to the Zhu family and said it back. Zhu Zhuang was very embarrassed. It turned out that he had hooked up with his uncle's cousin. The two of them had been compatible. When they heard that the family was telling him to Dr. Zhao, he became anxious and came to the shop to talk nonsense, which was very hateful." Xia Wen said, "Two days ago, Doctor Zhao went to Zhu family to stay for a few days. I don't know what was wrong? I just came back yesterday. I seemed to be a little happy, but I still felt relieved."

Ji Rang heard it funny and said, "Looking at what you said, who is not at ease with such a safe and considerate person as Dr. Zhao? Sister Fu'er's mother bought her a pill, and she only costs ten taels of silver for one pill, which is more expensive than gold. Doctor Zhao's money is so profitable."

Xia Wen said seriously, "This is Dr. Zhao's own ability and her talent. Envy is not something that can't be envied." Suddenly, he sighed, "You don't know, Dr. Zhao is fine, she is better, but for some reason, I see that there is always a lot of sadness and sadness in her eyes. Sometimes even if she smiles, she doesn't look happy. Wouldn't it be worrying? Sometimes I want to persuade her, but I think she has always been solemn. I can't speak rashly, and I don't know where to speak."

Ji Rang sighed slightly, "You don't know what my daughter's family is about."

Xia Wen smiled, "It seems like you let me know."

Ji Rang said, "You are not deaf and blind in the Doctor Zhao Pharmacy. Have you never heard of the Chu family?" When he was traveling in the border town, although he had never seen Zhao Changqing, he still had some friendship with Chu Yu. Li Rui joked about him and listened to him. At that time, Zhao Changqing was still a pretty and cute little girl. In the blink of an eye, the Chu family disappeared, and Zhao Changqing might not have forgotten Chu Yu.

"Live here for a few days first. Anyway, the great master said that I can live anywhere. If there is a better one, I can move." Zhao Changqing leaned slightly and smiled at Grandpa Zhu, "I like this stream, and there are also deer to drink water."

Master Zhu smiled, "I think it's good now. It's such an inexplicable local bun. It's a waste of time."

Zhao Changqing was not shy, saying, "If you have a good life, you won't be in vain anywhere. Even though I am a rustic person, if I don't look beautiful, how could I get the best man's eyes?"

The two of them rode around the manor with laughter and laughter, and it took the general an hour. Zhao Changqing said, "I will be old in the future and live like the great master."

Master Zhu smiled so proudly. He touched the two beards on his lips, and spared no effort to hit the younger generation, "You are still far from it."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Let's just look."

A maid brought water to him, and both of them washed up. Zhao Changqing slapped a little flower water on his face and put on small makeup in front of the mirror. Master Zhu said, "I don't combed my hair well, and my clothes are even worse."

In order to facilitate the change of men's outfits for riding a horse, Zhao Changqing naturally had a simple man's hair bun. Zhao Changqing was not happy to always hear Master Zhu say that she looked ugly and said, "I will look good when I change my skirt tomorrow."

"Your clothes are not very beautiful. When I ask Ru Niang to teach you how to dress up. I will make you a few new clothes, and you will know what it means to look good." Mr. Zhu himself is a very beautiful person. He likes Zhao Changqing, so he really wants to dress up Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing was not as polite as Mrs. Zhu when she was rewarding her with her things, and asked, "What clothes? You have to ask me to see first."

"Of course you have to see it. When you look at it, you will know what beauty is and what ugly is."

"Even if I don't know how to dress up at first, I can't be said to be ugly, right?" Zhao Changqing, as a woman, naturally pays attention to appearance.

"It's neither ugly nor ugly, a little beauty." Mr. Zhu smiled and said perfunctorily.

Zhao Changqing lived in Grandpa Zhu's manor very comfortable. Grandpa Zhu didn't need anyone to settle down in the morning and evening. Master Zhu followed her whatever Zhao Changqing wanted to do. If Grandpa Zhu was interested, the two would play together. If Grandpa Zhu was not interested, he would follow Zhao Changqing to make trouble himself. For example, when watching a deer drink water, bathe a little puppy, Grandpa Zhu despises Zhao Changqing a lot, and feels that Zhao Changqing has no knowledge and does all these rustic things.

Zhao Changqing basically ignored Master Zhu's contempt and did whatever he should do. After living there for seven days, Zhao Changqing said goodbye and went home.

Zhao Changqing kept saying, "Grandmaster, you have to ask someone to take care of my little red horse. Let it go out for a run every day, don't keep it in the stable. And my dog, I have to take a bath every day, don't give it a flea. And the clothes I'm making, I told Ru Niang that I don't have to send it to me after it is done, I'll come next month."

"You are so beautiful, I'll give it to you. Do you have such a great face?"

"Even if not, the great master doesn't need to say it. What's wrong with letting me be so beautiful in my heart?" Zhao Changqing smiled, "Grand master, then I'll leave."

"Yeah, go."

Zhao Changqing also brought two jars of wine from Master Zhu's manor home. It was already a while when he returned to the city. Zhao Changqing ordered people to go to the medicine shop first. Xia Wen was stunned when he saw Zhao Changqing, and Fang smiled and said, "Doctor Zhao is back."

Several patients recognized Zhao Changqing and greeted him. Zhao Changqing laughed, "I haven't been home yet, come and have a look first. Is it okay in the shop?"

Xia Wen smiled, "It's all good, it's just Boss Lin who came to find you."

Zhao Changqing nodded, "Then I'll go to Sister Lin's place to take a look. You're busy. I'll come here tomorrow if you have nothing to do."

"Okay." Xia Wen really wanted to say something else, but when he saw Zhao Changqing dressing up like this, he didn't know what to say, so he had to watch Zhao Changqing leave the medicine shop lightly.

Zhao Changqing went to the Lin family shop again. Boss Lin was in the shop. When he saw Zhao Changqing, he smiled, "I'm back from practicing in the deep mountains and forests to become a village girl."

There was no one else in the shop. Zhao Changqing turned around and said in a sarcastic manner, "I went to my great-grandfather's villa. It was so beautiful. I lived in a wooden house. There was a stream in front of it. The water in the stream was sweet. Every day, a deer went to drink water. This clothes were made in a villa. Is this beautiful? My jewelry was also matched with clothes." Zhao Changqing was not as charming as Boss Lin, and she was stunning in style. She had a serious oval face, almond eyes, red lips, and a high nose bridge. She was also a little beauty. Now she didn't have any complicated buns, just braided a thick braid and hung behind her head. The jewelry was only a string of tassel-shaped rubies decorated on the forehead. The middle one was the size of a small fingernail, which was very beautiful.

Boss Lin poured her a cup of tea and smiled, "You are getting more and more stinky now."

"If you are with Sister Lin all day long, you will lose face for Sister Lin." Zhao Changqing took the tea and asked with a smile, "I heard from Dr. Xia that my sister has asked me, but is there something wrong?"

"That's right. Manager Li wanted to do the Rouge business with us. He talked to me for a while, and I thought about discussing it with you first."

"Shopkeeper Li's eyesight is not acceptable." Zhao Changqing took a sip of tea, "Our Rouge Shop started to make a profit, so he came to the door. Why didn't he come to the door when he lost money?" The high-end route is not easy to go. Although Shenxian Yangrong Pills sell well, the competition for Rouge Water Pills is particularly great. They were all in the past few months. They used the money earned by Shenxian Yangrong Pills to subsidize Rouge Water Pills. Now that they have just stood up, Manager Li is about to make a fuss.

Boss Lin smiled, "He has a big business shop, so we can only make small fuss in the border town, which is not as good as him. Besides, I don't know his character. I heard that my sister's seasoning powder is just working with him, so I must know him better than me."

Zhao Changqing said, "Shopkeeper Li is not bad. But we have already opened up in the border town, so we must not be as cheap as when we made seasoning powder first."

Boss Lin smiled, "Since my sister is interested, I'll send someone to talk to him, when will we talk about this matter together?"

"I'll listen to Sister Lin."

Zhao Changqing discussed the cooperation with Manager Li for half a day at Boss Lin. When he returned home, it was already full of clouds. Just as Zhao Yong rode his horse home, Zhao Changqing stood at the door and shouted, "Dad, you are back."

Zhao Yong looked at the joy and closeness in his daughter's eyes. For some reason, his heart suddenly felt sore, and there was an indescribable sob and sorrow in his throat. He lowered his head and dismounted. Zhao Yong had already sorted out his emotions and said with a smile, "Yes, are you back from the great master?"

"I went back to the city in the afternoon and went to the shop to take a look." Zhao Changqing took his father's arm, and the father and daughter entered the house together.

When Ling saw the father and daughter come back together, she smiled, "Why did you meet one place?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I am meeting my father at the door."

Zhao Yong laughed, "Is the great master's place good?"

"Very good, very interesting. I told the great master that I will go next month."

Ling smiled, "You are so polite."

Zhao Yong said, "It's not an outsider, just go if you want to. The great-grandfather likes you, so it's okay to live for a few more days."

Ling smiled, "You go to the old lady's house to pay tribute first, the old lady is thinking about you. Your father has changed his clothes later, so we will go there too, let's have dinner together tonight."

Zhao Changqing took Yongfu back to his house.

Ling served her husband to change the official uniforms of hundreds of households, and while nagging, "That girl has gotten so many good things from the great master. Seeing that her head is full of fresh jewelry. I have to tell her a few words when I have time, but I can't always collect the elders' things so ungrateful..." Before Ling could finish nagging, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw her husband's eyes were slightly wet, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Yong waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm happy. I haven't seen Changqing so happy for a long time." I haven't seen my daughter so happy for a long time. As a mediocre father, I can only cowardly watch the pearl in my palm suffer all the grievances, but I can't do anything about it. What kind of pain and torture is this? Now, I can still see my daughter reappear, so how can Zhao Yong be unhappy?
