Salt Xiao Fulang

Chapter 56

On the night when Patriarch Chang threw a banquet to welcome the genius doctor, Song Xu was also invited to a dinner.

The dinner was organized by prominent merchants in Yongcheng.Although Yongcheng is dangerous, business opportunities are everywhere. The poor are poor and the rich are also rich.

Except for the richest man, Patriarch Chang, although other businessmen are not worthy of his position, there are quite a few decent ones. Hearing that Huitong Commercial Bank has sent people to stay in Yongcheng, I can't help but feel alive.

No, Song Xu only came into contact with a few big grocery stores, and within two days, someone came to deliver invitations.

It happened that Xiaochun was bored at home these few days, so Song Xu asked the messenger if he could bring his family with him at night.

The man was full of flattery, and kept saying that it would be fine, turned around and went back to report to the leading businessman, Master Lin, that Boss Song wanted to bring his family!

The big businessman surnamed Lin said with a sad face: "I'm worried that Lao Chang won't come. The richest man in Yongcheng is missing at the banquet. Will Boss Song think we are dishonest?"

The messenger was the housekeeper of the Lin family, and he was even more worried about the arrangement: "Then Boss Song wants to bring his family members, so why not let his charming lady sit with a group of elders? Why don't you just notify the families to bring their wives along..."

Master Lin slapped his head: "That's good too! Let everyone bring their families, divide them into two tables but put them all in the yard, it looks so lively, Boss Song will definitely forget about being absent!"

Whether Boss Song will really forget it is hard to say, but the banquet is indeed lively.

The men's table is full of wine, and the ladies' table is full of birds and birds, not to mention how harmonious it is.

...that lady's table was full of women, and Xiaochun was forced to sit in the middle. He was not doing well, and Song Xu's face was turning green.

what happened! ?Why is there such an effect! ?

Master Lin had just finished reciting the opening remarks welcoming Boss Song, seeing the big Buddha staring at his husband at the next table, he secretly scolded his housekeeper—why didn’t he ask clearly that Boss Song was bringing Fulang! ?

Having said that, being able to enter Huitong Commercial Bank must be quite capable. How could such a person marry a husband as his legal wife?This question is beyond the outline!

It's not that these businessmen didn't marry Shuang'er as a concubine, but the more people went up, the more they wanted to pay attention to a decent appearance.

The word decent is very delicate. In the current social environment, marrying a woman as a regular wife is one of the standards of decent.

It's not that there are no families with bad wives and twin children, and most of them won't abandon them after they get along well. It's just that when they attend formal occasions, they would rather bring a concubine with a good background than a real husband.I don't know when the customary rules were formed, but everyone did this when they realized it.

Master Lin was the only one present whose first wife was also a twin son.

He winked at his butler vigorously, wanting him to call his husband out to help the next table. The butler probably had a brain rust, and Master Lin squeezed his eyes into a bean but failed to communicate.He had no choice but to say bitterly: "Boss Song's husband is afraid that he will be lonely by himself, so I'll go and call my husband...?"

Seeing that Xiaochun was about to faint from the smell of makeup at the next table, Song Xu agreed to Master Lin's love with jealousy and amusing.

So this group of businessmen hadn't finished the round of introductions, and everyone was forced to get to know Mr. Lin's real husband who was raised in a deep boudoir.

"What do you want me to do?" A middle-aged man said coldly.

"..." Everyone was silent.

I saw him with firm eyes, wearing ordinary bunts, not short, and there were no big muscle fluctuations on his body, but no matter how he looked, he was an ordinary middle-aged man.

This turned out to be Master Lin's real husband!

Except for Song Xu, the other merchants were going to be stunned by the thunder.

The concubines that master Lin took out for a walk were all charming and charming little beauties, and he never expected that his husband would have such a style of painting.

Song Xu thought it was normal, he waved his hand and let Xiaochun come to his side, and introduced to everyone: "This is my husband, surnamed Chun."

Compared with Lin Fulang, even Xiaochun was set off as a beautiful and lovely little pair—even though he didn't put on makeup, he was still fair...

Xiaochun smiled shyly: "Hello everyone, your husband depends on everyone to take care of you."

Some people slandered Song Xu, thinking that he was incompetent, such an ordinary twin as the main wife, who had been hidden away in other people's homes, but he was lucky enough to show it off.

That's right, I brought it to the dinner, isn't it to show off?

The same goes for Lao Lin, his husband is so ugly that he calls him out in spite of face just to curry favor with the Huitong Commercial Bank—do you not hide it now?

There is more than one person who thinks this way, but the only one who accidentally said it out - just as a small-eyed man in green clothes and black hat finished muttering, everyone's eyes turned to surprise.

Song Xu lowered his face: "Brother, can you say it again?"

The little eyes were embarrassed and annoyed, unable to save face, they simply said bluntly: "Shuang'er is inferior to others, and it is disrespectful to others to bring it out. Forgive that you are still a member of Huitong Commercial Bank. You don't understand this reason, and you don't want the least face. Lao Lin is also crazy, and he even acted with him..."

Master Lin is breaking out in cold sweat, what is shameless, you are the fucking shameless!

Do you have any ideas to put in your stomach?Do you have to say it in the open? ?Do you still have the basic qualities of a businessman to make money with anger!

Look at Boss Song, he will be angry...

Song Xu stood up, neither lifted the table nor yelled at him, he held Xiaochun who was at a loss in one hand, and said with a smile, "If you don't welcome me, I'll leave."

"Hey, don't, don't, don't!!!" The people at the table all stood up, blocking Song Xu, and pulling small eyes, all sweating profusely: "Wait, Boss Song!" ! Let's take him away! Here we go!"

Lin Fulang had black lines all over his face.

Taking advantage of the turmoil at the table, he grabbed the clothes on Master Lin's back and yanked.

"What's going on? Why didn't you tell me in advance if you want me to come out?"

Master Lin was always scared when Fulang became fierce, so he took a few steps back and said aggrievedly: "I didn't know that Boss Song brought a pair, otherwise there wouldn't be so many troubles...Look at the pile of makeup on the next table, Would you like to sit in instead..."

There was too much movement here, and Yingying Yanyan at the next table raised her head and turned pale, but she didn't dare to come over and ask what was going on.

Lin Fulang said coldly: "I don't want to."

Master Lin whispered helplessly: "So if you want to take him with you, wouldn't it be so awkward for you to be together... Bao'er, help me, I still have to talk about business..."

Lin Fulang had goosebumps all over his body—the two of them are old husbands, and although they inevitably have differences on some personal issues, their relationship is still quite deep. It would be better if the husband is not disgusting...

"Okay, let's make people feel at home."

Here, the little eye was blasted out by everyone, and the concubine he brought chased him out crying, and the rest of the people hurriedly pretended that nothing happened and asked Song Xu to sit down and eat quickly.

Lin Fulang also changed into a gentle smile, and led Xiaochun to chat and laugh at the next door's makeup pile.

Lin Fulang, who looks very rough, is not simple. At first, he thought he was unreasonable, but he is actually very social. He not only chatted with Xiaochun, but also made a group of girls tremble with laughter.

Song Xu always felt weird, his face turned greener...

No matter what, the business still needs to be discussed, and this is also the main purpose of his appointment today.

It is impossible to sell all the tea leaves in his yard in one transaction. He plans to take two-thirds out and sell them to the merchants in this yard first.

Although everyone has their own freight channels, the cost of traveling from south to north is huge. Tea, cloth and silk are always in short supply in Yongcheng.

Song Xu's business negotiating skills, which he learned and sold now, were put to good use, and he quickly talked with Master Lin about his general intentions.

Some of the other businessmen were regretful and some were disappointed, but they also knew that they had no advantage over the Lin family, and it was already very good to show their face in front of Song Xu, so they chatted about other things.

Song Xu seemed to inadvertently mention a sentence: "The place where I live is backed by a huge mansion with a two-story high-rise and magnificent. I don't know which high-ranking official's mansion in Yongcheng is it?"

There was a moment of silence on the table, and Master Lin smiled awkwardly: "Hey, it's not a high official, it's Lao Chang."

"Yes, Lao Chang. Lao Chang is also a big businessman here, and he is told to come here on weekdays. It's really not to give you face... It's just that there is something in his family today."

"That's right, he has something to do with his family. His wife is ill, so he invited a miracle doctor from outside the customs. He had to host a banquet tonight, so he couldn't come here!"

"It's definitely not that your face is not big enough!"

Song Xu: "..."

Come on, the more I say it, the more empty it sounds.

But it was indeed the first time he had heard about the miraculous doctor, so he couldn't help asking a few more questions.

Everyone replied in a hurry: "I heard that the genius doctor has rejuvenated his hands and cured all difficult and miscellaneous diseases. What's even more amazing is that he is obviously a barbarian, but he is very good at Chinese medicine, especially acupuncture. Very respectable."

"He usually travels around, no matter how poor or rich he is, he saves as much as he can, so he has a good reputation. He has entered the pass several times and has also helped many Han people to treat diseases. Therefore, the soldiers in the pass never stopped him, and always respectfully let him go."

Song Xu heard it in his ears and couldn't help but be a little concerned.

"Then is this miracle doctor good at gynecology...?"

"Gynecology?" Master Lin asked blankly.

"Oh, it's a disease like the hardship of offspring, can it be cured?"

"Oh, oh, yes!" Master Lin slapped his thigh: "Hey, coincidence, just half a year ago, there was a woman in Yongcheng who couldn't give birth to a child and was divorced by her in-laws. When she was dragging her on the street... The miracle doctor saw it, so he went to others to have a look. Later, he found out that the woman was fine, but her husband had a problem. The miracle doctor wrote a prescription for the man, and after three months, he heard that the woman was pregnant. Let’s go! Although the genius doctor had already left at that time, many people in Yongcheng know about this, especially the doctors in the medical center!"

"Yeah, we didn't know there was such a person as a genius doctor before, but later we heard that he was quite famous among the common people and doctors in the medical hall."

"Ms. Chang's family heard that she had a strange disease. She probably had nothing to do with the medical center, so she asked for a miracle doctor. Chang Chang sent someone to invite her, but there was no news after more than ten days. I heard that it finally came yesterday. Don't be grand today. Come on..."

All in all, Patriarch Chang's failure to come to this dinner definitely does not mean that he would not give Song Xu face.

But Song Xu couldn't hear these anymore, and his attention was completely elsewhere.

If this miraculous doctor is really miraculous, can he come and show Xiaochun?

Xiaochun couldn't get in the way at the next table, but with Lin Fulang around, the atmosphere was good, and he didn't need to force himself to talk, so he kept eating.

Song Xu said that he is not responsible for socializing, but only responsible for seeing the world, eating, drinking and having fun, so he simply let go of eating.

The topic changed during the dinner, and after a while, it also talked about the miracle doctor. He couldn't eat anymore, and the tamales on the chopsticks fell into the bowl with a clatter.

Miracle doctor...can really cure infertility?

***

The genius doctor who was missed by many people was sitting at the banquet of Chang's family.

Obviously there is only one family, but it is as lively as a village banquet-the concubines and children of the Chang family can form two football teams to play games.The children who were too young and the concubines who were not serious came up, so there were still three tables.

Sitting at the main table was the most shameless concubine—that is, Chang Ji's own mother, and several young masters who were over ten years old.

Chang Ji was the loudest inside, crazily flattering, sometimes the genius doctor uncle is really a fairy, and sometimes the genius doctor uncle is very strong and brave.

I don't know how a person can combine the temperament of Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei.

Mrs. Chang's eldest sons are ranked third and fifth, and they are already half-teenagers, and they endured it with a cold face for a long time before rolling their eyes out.

The genius doctor came to Chang's mansion in the afternoon, and after seeing Mrs. Chang, he only used two doses of medicine to make the always uncomfortable lady sleep peacefully.

Although it will take a while to recuperate, they are all very confident in the miracle doctor, and they are in a relatively relaxed mood when eating, so they don't complain.

After the second young master praised the genius doctor himself, he began to praise the genius doctor's hometown.

"Outside the pass is great! There is boundless freedom, the barbarians are open-minded, and everyone is a warrior!" The omission of tens of thousands of words below made the third young master and the fifth young master leave the table and go to the latrine twice to flatter.

Patriarch Chang didn't know if he was blind or not, but he always loved the unintentional flattery of the second child, and kept listening with a smile, thinking that the genius doctor would also like it.

The genius doctor didn't know if he was really short-tempered, but he just ate with a half-smile and didn't interrupt the second young master.

He has a long beard and calm eyes.The appearance is ordinary, and there are not even any characteristics of a barbarian.The same black hair and black eyes, wearing a dark gray hat, but the facial features are more profound, and walking on the road will not make it easy for people to recognize the identity of a foreign race.

But no matter what, he is indeed an out-and-out outsider.

It's just a little funny to hear that this family even belittled their own race to praise him in their words.

"...Our family has always been friendly with Hu people. I also have a Hu man brother!"

When the second young master said this, Patriarch Chang interrupted proudly: "To tell you the truth, I once rescued a barbarian girl. She was accidentally exiled in the pass, had no relatives, and was almost abducted by a brothel...I took her in, took care of her, fed her, Later, she secretly fell in love with me, and gave birth to a beautiful little twin for me regardless of her health."

Speaking of this, Patriarch Chang seemed regretful and said: "It's a pity that she has such a poor fortune, and she went away not long after giving birth to Xiao Mi... I regard Xiao Mi as a treasure, and give him the largest courtyard in the mansion!"

The genius doctor put down the cup, his expression changed unpredictably, and finally stayed on his smile.

He looked at the proud Patriarch Chang and said, "Oh? Who is he at the banquet?"

Patriarch Chang was stunned, and said awkwardly: "Hey, he is still young, and the house specially cooks him meals suitable for children. You see, none of our family under the age of ten came to eat..."

It was true, there were no children here.

The miracle doctor nodded, temporarily skipping the topic.But what kind of person is he, he glanced around to see his expression, and he knew everything.

This must be an unfavored child, even if he really turned ten years old, no one would remember to invite him to the banquet.

Thinking of this, the miracle doctor quietly proposed to visit Changfu.Patriarch Chang couldn't resist, and led a group of people out of the living room in a mighty manner.

Chang Mi is playing in the new yard.

This compound can be called luxury.In addition to Chang Mi's own room, there are more than a dozen wing rooms for servants to live in.There is a small pond in the courtyard, with some snow-white water lilies floating, and some golden-red swimming fish passing by from time to time under the water lilies.

These nimble little things appear and disappear from time to time, Chang Mi lost them after counting them, and lost interest after trying them a few times, squatting there in a daze.

The moon is reflected in the water, the fish are playing among the lotus leaves, and the children carved in pink and jade are squatting by the water. The picture is beautiful.

The genius doctor and Patriarch Chang's party came to this courtyard together at this time.

Chang Mi heard footsteps, raised her head, and looked at the group of people in confusion.

He doesn't recognize the leader, but it makes people feel kind.

It must be a miracle doctor.

He greeted dryly: "God heals you."

The genius doctor's breezy smile disappeared in an instant.

He squatted down, gently grasped Chang Mi's thin white wrist, and paused for a while.

Patriarch Chang and the others were at a loss, and asked stammeringly, "The miracle doctor...is there any dissatisfaction?"

The miracle doctor put down his hand, turned his head and said coldly: "This child is born with deficiencies, and his development is delayed the day after tomorrow. Years of hunger has caused his spleen and stomach to be weak. Is this how you treat him as a 'treasure'?"
