Chapter 16 Go to Guazhou

Seeing Yang Ze’s smile on his face, Zhang knew that the business was going smoothly. She asked, “How much did it cost?”

Yang Ze did not answer immediately. With so many neighbors around him, he could not tell whether Wu Yourong asked for his money. The Yang family and Wu Yourong knew this kind of thing, and it would be better if they were aware of it.

Seeing that her son did not answer immediately, Zhang felt a little sank. It seemed that the price was not very suitable, so she stopped asking and wanted her son to come into the hall before talking.

But the neighbors around were very interested. Qiu Lude ran away because he offended the little marquis, and none of them sympathized with Qiu Lude. That was his own fault. Why did he sympathize with him? But if he could run away, the monk could not run away from the temple, the doctor could not run away from the pharmacy, and they were quite interested in how to open the Lude Hall in the future and wanted to hear the excitement.

An old neighbor who once scolded Yang Ze for his prodigal son and was not allowed to play with his son and Yang Ze, asked with a smile on his face and flatteringly: "Nephew Yang, did you buy Ludetang? How much did it cost? Then Ludetang is so big, I think it will cost at least seven or eight hundred coins!"

The neighbors around exclaimed, "Seven or eight hundred guan, it's a lot of money. For ordinary people, let alone seven or eight hundred guan, even seven or eight guan, it's not a decimal."

Yang Ze laughed dryly and said, "It's not that much. If there are really seven or eight hundred coins, our family can't afford it!"

Zhang pulled his son over and said, "Let's talk about it when you come into the house, your father is waiting for you to come back!"

Yang Ze nodded, not answering the old neighbor's question, and followed Zhang into Zhirentang. As soon as he entered the door, Zhang turned around and closed the door. Anyway, the door was closed for a day, so he didn't plan to do business today.

Seeing Zhirentang closed the door, the old neighbor said yelling, turned his head and said to everyone, "Look at his awesome Yang family, but he has cured the nobleman's illness? What's so great? No matter how awesome it is, the boy of the Yang family is not just a doctor, can he become a scholar, pass the imperial examination, and become a high-ranking official!"

The neighbors nodded together, right? Yang Ze was at best just a doctor, and he opened a pharmacy or something. Even if he could open two pharmacies in the future, he would still be a doctor, not something else.

Seeing that everyone was in line with him, the old neighbor felt even more unfair. He felt that Yang Ze did not answer his question and did not give him face. He said, "What does it mean to have a promising moment in this day? Only with fame and fortune is to have a promising moment. From what I think, the Yang family boy will never think about it in his life!"

The neighbors all agreed, and they all knew what Yang Ze was like before. Being a good doctor was his greatest success. As for fame and fortune, he would never think about it in his life. Like the scholar and the juren, they were all stars in the sky. The Yang family boys didn’t look like stars in the sky, so he would never think about fame in his life!

Everyone was talking about it, guessing how much money Luthertang was bought by the Yang family. Anyway, everyone was idle and just talked about it and was just having fun.

In the hall, Zhang closed the store door and asked, "Son, then the magistrate of Wu County cares about how much money you have asked for. Why didn't you say it just now!"

Yang Baiqiu also entered the front hall from behind. When he heard his wife’s questioning, he looked at his son and asked, “Is it more than five hundred stakes?”

Yang Ze shook his head and said, "It's only five hundred stakes, no more or less, but..."

Yang Baiqiu and Zhang said with a voice, and their faces were disappointed. Five hundred coins were found. Even if they bought Luther Hall, there would be a big hole in their family's finances. It would take a long time to fill them. After all, cash and real estate shops are different.

Yang Ze said: "But the magistrate of Wu County didn't care about my money!" He briefly said the reward.

After hearing this, Yang Baiqiu and Zhang were overjoyed and said in unison: "This is such a big favor. The county magistrate really gives our Yang family face!"

Yang Ze smiled and said, "This favor is really nothing. The magistrate of Wu County also waived my boy exam, so that I can directly refer to the scientific exam. As long as I pass, I will be a scholar."

After hearing this, Yang Baiqiu's eyes lit up. What he envied most in his life was people with fame. His two elder brothers were scholars. Just by his fame and fortune, he realized that he was competing with Zhang's family. Otherwise, would he be so afraid of his wife?

Zhang was also overjoyed and said, "So, our Yang family is going to be a scholar, just like my two brothers!"

"This is more than that. The magistrate of Wu County also wrote me a letter of recommendation, recommending me to go to the Guazhou Medical Center and work as a doctor in the medical center, saying that it will be good for my future!" Yang Ze took out the two letters from his arms.

Yang Baiqiu took the letter, but saw that the envelope was blocked and could not be opened to see it, but he was still happy and said, "The letter must be well written. The magistrate of Wu County will definitely recommend you heavily. Our Yang family has finally begun to develop in your generation!"

Zhang was so happy that he didn't know what to say. After a while, she suddenly shouted: "Mugen, where did you go, you lazy boy!"

I heard Shi Mugen say, "I'm not lazy? I've been here all the time!" He felt very wronged. Why did the young master take the exam for scholarship? He became a lazy boy. You should know that the word lazy boy was used by the young master in the past.

Zhang said, "When our family has a great event, why don't you go back to buy meat on the street... Oh, no, I'll go there in person!" After tidying up her clothes, she walked to the door, opened the door, and coughed outside.

The neighbors outside who were still grinding their teeth looked at her together and stopped talking. The old neighbor asked, "Aunt Yang, are you going to take over Luther Hall? Do you need all of us to help?"

The neighbors all curled their lips, "This old man, just said that the Yang family was doing so, and they didn't give him face, but now they take the initiative to curry favor with each other. They are really the ones in front of others and the other behind others!"

Everyone complained about the old neighbor in their hearts, but they also asked together, asking Zhang if he wanted to help. They completely forgot that they were talking about the Yang family just now, saying that the Yang family boy would never have any great prospects in their life.

Zhang straightened his chest, with a mother who thought that her son was the most important expression, waved her hand, and said, "Ludetang is not in a hurry, there is some kung fu to take over. My son is going to buy meat now... No, he is going to the restaurant to order tables and have some food to celebrate my son!"

After a pause, she glanced at the onlookers who didn't know the truth, and she said again: "The county magistrate has waived my son's boy exam. My son will go to Guazhou in a few days and wait for the scholar exam."

The neighbors screamed as if they were furious. They just said that Yang Ze would never have any fame in his life, but in a blink of an eye, he was going to the state to take the exam for a scholar, and it was recommended by the county magistrate himself. This kind of direct exemption from the exam was the first time in the history of Baoan County!

The old neighbor was also shocked and said in a trembling voice. He asked, "The Yang family boy... No, the eldest nephew Yang is going to take the exam for the scholar? How difficult is that scholar? Can he pass the exam?"

Zhang glared at him and said, "How come he couldn't pass the exam? The county magistrate wrote a letter of recommendation in person, asking my son to learn to be an official first. If he couldn't pass the exam, could he learn to be an official!"

After saying that, she raised her head high and walked towards the largest restaurant in the city.

The neighbors at the door were silent, looking at the Yang family father and son in the door together, of course, all their main attention was on Yang Ze.

Yang Ze grinned and thought to himself: "My mother, you are almost bragging to the sky. I am just going to go to the Guazhou Medical Center, where I will learn to be an official!"

Suddenly, a neighbor shouted: "Yang Chuantang, isn't your Yang Ze not engaged? He is too old and should have married. My boudoir woman is virtuous and beautiful. Why not be as good as our in-laws? I don't want your family's wealth and will give you more dowry!"

As soon as he shouted, at least half of the neighbors shouted, some wanted to marry their daughter to Yang Ze, and some wanted to marry their sister. Anyway, they all wanted to get a kinship with Yang Ze!

Yang Baiqiu was very proud and really felt proud. He thought that his son was unable to study medicine and was idle all day long, and it was extremely difficult to get a bride. He even had the idea of ​​buying a wife for his son. Look at him now that his son is promising, these guys actually came to propose marriage with a shy face, and they didn't want any gifts, so they gave him more dowry!

Yang Baiqiu thought to himself: "You are so beautiful that you just want to marry my Yang family now. What have you done? My son has a promising future. He will become a scholar and a juren in the future. He will marry a good family. How could he marry you, such a snob? You can dream in your day!”

Seeing that he became a hot commodity in an instant, Yang Ze was not only not surprised at all, but was surprised instead. He turned to look at Yang Baiqiu and thought to himself: "Don't have a whim for a while. I really tell me about the marriage. I remember that none of the daughters of these neighbors' neighbors looked like a little. If you want to marry one of them... forget it!"

Yang Baiqiu bowed to the neighbors outside, first said with joy, and then said, "My son's marriage, let's talk about it later. This is not urgent. He is appreciated by the county magistrate and is close to the young marquis. Maybe he will go to the governor's office to do things in the future. A real man will start a career and then start a family. He will not be anxious for his marriage, no hurry!"

Yang Ze glanced at Yang Baiqiu and thought to himself: "Hang Qing'er, I thought my mother liked to brag and show off. After playing for a long time, my father was even more capable than my mother! I actually said that I wanted to work in the Jiedushi Yamen, but I didn't even know where the Jiedushi Yamen was. Not to mention where the Jiedushi Yamen was, I don't know even where Linzhou was!"

The neighbors were even more surprised when they heard that Yang Ze would go to work in the Jiedushi's yamen in the future. They thought that Yang Ze had indeed cured the little marquis's illness, and they might be as Yang Baiqiu said in the future. The Yang family really wanted to become prosperous and reach the top in one step!

Many neighbors with daughters at home have already regretted it. They hate themselves for not seeing how Yang Ze can have such a great future. Otherwise, they would have come to climb this relative before the Yang family was developed. This time, the Yang family is obviously going to climb high and look down on them, such poor neighbors!

The old neighbor was stunned. Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped himself several times. He felt that he was really blind. How could he say bad things about Yang Ze just now? He just said that he had no fame and no great prospect in his life, but he was going to the Jiedushi Yamen in a blink of an eye. That was the Jiedushi Yamen. In his eyes, it was in the sky.

The old neighbor suddenly slapped his big mouth. Others were shocked when they saw it. Then he shouted again: "Nephew Yang, I have long seen that you are the stars in the sky, and I have long seen..."

Everyone shouted, saying that they had long seen that Yang Ze was promising. More and more people were surrounding the door, and the shouts were getting louder and louder. Soon after, half of the street was surrounded. The incident of Yang Ze was promising, and the more magical it became, the more and more. The call for him was the stars in the sky and descending to earth became louder and louder.

This scene made Yang Ze laugh and cry. It was because he closed the store door, nor was he not. Others were so enthusiastic that they could not turn it off!

When Zhang came back, the rumors about Yang Ze had turned into Yang Ze that Yang Ze was going to be the son-in-law of the Jiedushi, and even the wedding date was set, which made Zhang confused. His son was about to get married. Why didn't she know what she said?

Yang Ze was embarrassed to close the door, but Zhang ignored this. After dealing with it, she closed the store and said to Yang Ze: "The restaurant will deliver food and food in a while. Today is our family's happy day. My mother ordered the best meal, which costs two cents of money and a jar of daughters of twenty years old. Today we will have a luxury and enjoy it!"

Yang Baiqiu also smiled and said, "Yes, how many such a happy event can be seen in a lifetime? It doesn't matter if you spend a few more!"

Mu Genze said: "Can I drink alcohol? What does that daughter Hong taste like?"

Yang Ze smiled and said, "Of course it smells like wine, but it can also smell like water!"

When the neighbors outside the door saw the Yang family close, they talked for a long time, and when they saw that the other party would not open the door, they slowly dispersed.

In the afternoon, the restaurant brought the wine and food. The three of Yang family and Mu Gen held a banquet at home, chatting and laughing. After a meal, they finally had enough food and food to eat. They all went back to their houses.

Until the third day of the morning, Yang Ze got up at night and heard laughter from his parents' room. It seemed that his parents were really happy, and the requirements for being a parent were very simple. As long as his son had a promising future, it would make them happy more than anything else.

A few days later, Yang Ze went to the county government to complete the Ludetang deed and other procedures, and then went to Ludetang with Yang Baiqiu. After checking some medicinal materials and storefronts, the industry was officially named Yang.

The Yang family of three discussed how to deal with Ludetang for several days before making up their minds. Originally, Yang Baiqiu and Zhang wanted to open two stores in Baoan County, that is, two pharmacies were running together, but since Yang Ze was going to Guazhou, only Yang Baiqiu was left, so he couldn't take care of the two shops.

It would be impossible to hire another doctor, but it is difficult to find a doctor, and it is not better to open a pharmacy than other businesses. If you prescribe the wrong medicine and cure the wrong disease, it would be quite troublesome. So, Yang Baiqiu decided to close Lude Hall and move the ordinary medicinal materials to Zhiren Hall to sell. The best medicinal materials were asked to take Yang Ze to Guazhou to see if he could open a semicolon in Guazhou.

In this way, the Yang family still has two pharmacies, but they are not in the same city, which is equivalent to expanding their business. Yang Ze works as a doctor in Guazhou Medical Center, which is run by the official website. With this relationship, the Zhirentang semicolon's business will definitely be bad. Moreover, if you encounter difficult and severe diseases, you can ask the medical officer in the medical center to come forward, and there will be much less trouble.

After the discussion, the Yang family went out and took more than half a month to move all the medicinal materials from Lude Hall to Zhirentang, rented out the Lude Hall shop, and prepared Yang Ze for things to go to Guazhou. He didn't dare to bring too much cash, and he was afraid of accidents on the way. The northern border was vast and sparsely populated. Although Baoan County belonged to Guazhou, it was about 300 miles away from Guazhou, so it could not be considered close.

Yang Baiqiu picked out some of the good medicinal materials in the shop and put them in a small wooden box. These medicinal materials are worth almost 200 jin. They are used to open a new medicinal shop for Yang Ze. Ordinary medicinal materials are easy to buy, but good medicinal materials are difficult to find. Opening a new medicinal shop must have a treasure for the store. Even these good medicinal materials are the best, and better medicinal materials will be found later.

After packing their luggage, Yang Ze and Yang Baiqiu brought gifts and visited Wu Yourong. Wu Yourong did not accept the gifts, but Yang Baiqiu insisted on staying, so Wu Yourong had to accept them, but he immediately gave him a twenty-tonne Yicheng, which was considered as a travel expense.

After struggling for more than half a month, it was finally over. After choosing a good day for a zodiac sign, Yang Ze said goodbye to his parents, took Mugen, hired a carriage, left Baoan County, and went to Guazhou.

Before parting, Yang Baiqiu and Zhang were sent out of the city. Zhang couldn't help crying. After all, his son was so old that he went out for the first time. How could he not worry about his mother? Yang Ze and Yang Baiqiu comforted each other. Finally, Yang Ze repeatedly said that he would write a letter to his home when he arrived in Guazhou and asked someone to bring it back. Then Zhang did it.

Yang Ze sat in the carriage, leaned out of the window, waved to his parents until he was getting farther and he could not see his parents. He sat back into the car and sighed.

Mugen and the coachman were sitting outside the carriage. He heard Yang Ze sigh and turned around and said, "Young master, why are you sighing? Isn't it a good thing to go to Guazhou!"

Yang Ze whispered: "Who knows what the situation will be like in Guazhou? I came from another place and I am not welcome. It's still a bit between talking about it!"

Mu Gen said: "Why aren't you welcome? You have such a high medical skills, how could they not welcome them?"

Yang Ze yelled, without answering, but thought to himself: "My medical skills are high? This is not necessarily true! But even if he has high medical skills, it will be annoying. Friends are enemies. The higher the medical skills, the less we welcome them!"

The Guazhou Medical Center is an official office, with medical officials from the Dafang Empire. Although they are the lowest-level officials, they are the most formal medical institutions these days. The doctors in it all regard themselves as orthodox. In the eyes of these doctors, Yang Ze is just from a small county town and a wild doctor. He is not much better than the grass-headed doctors in various places in the country. It is normal to look down on him. It is strange to be considered a matter of being strange!

Yang Ze understood these situations very well. For him, Guazhou Medical College was an opportunity, but also a test, and what awaited him would be a brand new situation.
