Chapter 49
"I agree with Tai Li's proposal." Tai Li is Zheng Dongyang's nickname, and old man Cen is a few years older than him, so he directly calls him by his nickname. "Going to the state capital really kills multiple birds with one stone."

After much deliberation, Xiaoruo found that it was indeed the best choice as the two old men said.

"Then let's tidy up these few days. Didn't someone come to the Tzu Chi Hall a while ago and ask if you want to give it to him? I'll contact you another day to discuss the price." She turned to Zheng Dongyang and said, "You need to clean up here. Are there too many? How about I let Axun leave it for you to pack and carry things."

The two old men were stunned at the same time.

"Why do you want to sell it?"

"Why should I clean up?"

Xiaoruo frowned and said, "Old man, at your age, we are no longer here. Do you want to continue to carry herbs and climb the ladder by yourself? You forgot that you had to carry kudzu root alone last time, and you lost your waist in the end gone."

Old man Cen bowed his head and remained silent.

Xiaoruo turned to look at Zheng Dongyang again: "Senior Zheng, there is a way to be a teacher for one day and a father for life. Since you are Zhaozhao's teacher, you are his father, so you are also my father. Do you want us to be unfilial?" People, are you left here alone without anyone to take care of you? What's more, Xiaozhao's knowledge still needs your continued guidance, so please go to Qinzhou with us."

Zheng Dongyang couldn't refute what he said.Today's sage values ​​filial piety the most, if someone uses this as an excuse to make Xiao Zhao an unfilial person in the future, wouldn't it ruin his life?
Zheng Dongyang knows best how bad it is to be programmed and criticized, and he can't bear to let Xiaozhao fall into such a situation in the future.

There is no concern for the left and right families, only him can do as he pleases.

"You are right." Zheng Dongyang nodded and said, "Then I will go to Qinzhou with you."

Old man Cen was still reluctant to part with the Tzu Chi Hall he created, and he didn't want to drag Xiaoruo and the others down.

Although he has long regarded the four members of the Xiao family as his descendants and loves them, after all, they have no relatives and no reason, and at his age, following them will only cause trouble.

He hesitated and said, "I... still won't go. After the Ciji Hall is closed, where will the people in Shangxi Town go to buy medicine?"

How could Xiaoruo not understand what old man Cen was worried about? She squatted next to old man Cen and patiently persuaded him: "Master, the Tzu Chi Hall will not be completely closed. I will discuss this matter and ensure that the people in Shangxi Town will remain the same as before. , you can buy medicine in the town."

She pulled over Xiaoyou who had been obediently listening to the adults talking, and squatted down next to Old Cen with her.

"If you don't go to Qinzhou with us, won't Niaoyou cry every day thinking about you?"

Xiaoyou, a clever little ghost, immediately cooperated with the eldest sister, looked at old man Cen with big wet eyes, and pouted, "Grandpa, grandpa, you can go with us, you can't bear to miss you~"

The little milk's voice was so soft that old man Cen's heart almost melted when he heard it, why would he be willing to give up the four of Xiao's family?
"But... but old man, I can't help you if I go..."

"Who says I can't help? I haven't learned all the recipes for your concocted medicinal materials! I still hope that I can continue to learn pharmaceuticals from you when I arrive in Qinzhou. At that time, we will sell the processed medicinal materials and earn money from them." It's full!" Xiaoruo blinked playfully.

"Earn him a lot of money!" Xiao Niao happily learned her tongue like a little parrot.

Old man Cen's eyes couldn't help becoming sore, and two bags of tears almost couldn't hold back from flowing out.

He nodded and said, "Hey, good, good..."

After the two old men were settled, the family's plan to move and settle in Qinzhou was officially put on the agenda.

Xiaoruo is a man of action, so he contacted the person who wanted to open the Tzu Chi Hall on the same day.

That man is also considered a half-doctor. He was an apprentice in the northern medical center before, and he returned to his hometown after the turmoil in the north.I saved a lot of money before, and I don’t have much work to do after returning home. After thinking about it, I’d better go back to my old business and open a medical clinic.

It’s just that he only knows how to take medicine, and he only knows a few basic prescriptions when prescribing prescriptions. It may be difficult to rent a shop and erect a plaque from scratch, so he fell in love with the only medical center in Shangxi Town—Tzu Chi Hall.

After chatting with him for a while, Xiaoruo found out about the middle-aged man's situation, and she listed several conditions.

One is to keep the name of the Tzu Chi Hall, the plaque cannot be changed, and the name of the Tzu Chi Hall cannot be damaged.

The second is to ask him to promise that he will only do medical clinic business in the future, and he cannot change his job at will.After all, there is only one medical center in Shangxi Town. If it becomes another store, people will have to travel a long way to buy medicine.

Correspondingly, Xiaoruo also gave him several discounts. For example, the store transfer fee is only 200 taels, and all the medicinal materials in the store and the channels for supplying medicine farmers on weekdays are reserved for him. There are more than 20 prescriptions for common diseases including injury, fever and cold, and physical weakness.

Medicinal materials are valuable and prescriptions are priceless. The middle-aged man is very grateful, and he promises that he will manage the Tzu Chi Church well and will not destroy the signboard of these decades.

Old Cen was also very satisfied with Xiaoruo's handling of the Tzu Chi Hall, so he signed a paper contract and agreed that the middle-aged man would come to pay the money and get the key three days later.

In the past three days, they have to sort out all the things that need to be taken away, but Xiaoruo is too busy.

The old and the young couldn't be counted on, and she ordered them to watch from the sidelines, so they were hurt and knocked because they didn't help.

Xiaoxun was assigned by her to help Zheng Dongyang pack his bags again, and now she had to spend a tael of money to hire two porters for help.

The luggage of the six people was fully loaded into three carriages, one of which was full of books, some left by Xiao's parents, and some collected by Zheng Dongyang for many years.

Xiaoruo didn't feel bad about renting an extra carriage to load the books. Is this called renting more? It's called paying for knowledge!
It was five days' journey from Qinzhou to Shangxi Town, Xiao Ruo was bumping back and forth on the hard wooden boards of the carriage, feeling as if their butts were about to bloom, they finally arrived in Qinzhou.

Qinzhou deserves to be the largest state capital nearby. The wide streets are lined with teahouses, taverns, workshops, and pawn shops. At the door of the shops, there are guys who specialize in soliciting customers, shouting their own characteristics.There are many pedestrians on the street, those who are on the road, those who drive to deliver goods, and those who go shopping, all kinds of goods are placed on the carts under the big umbrellas by the vendors.Exquisite silks and satins, attractively colored candies, and the exquisite kung fu of jugglers are all lined up in the sunshine, attracting people to stop and enjoy.

Xiao Zhao Xiaoyou curiously and excitedly opened the curtain of the carriage to look out, maybe there was a sound of exclamation in her small mouth.Xiaoruo also looked at the bustling city through the curtain, and couldn't help feeling that the bustling and noisy ancient city that was shown on TV before really existed.

The coachman asked Xiaoruo where to get off, and Xiaoruo asked him to find a cheap and affordable inn.

Maybe the coachmen in this world also take kickbacks, bullying them because they don't understand the market, even dragging them to an inn in the most prosperous area of ​​Qinzhou, tricking them into paying the rest of the fare and walking away.
