Chapter 850: The Xinglin Gathering Causes Troubles
In the backyard of Xu Mansion's old house, the sun is shining brightly and the flowers and plants are fragrant.
Whether it was Xu Jiaorong or Bai Suzhen's belly, Xu Xian also returned home at this time and were communicating in a low voice.
"Hanwen, your brother-in-law has found out!"
Xu Jiaorong said directly: "The reason why the Three Emperors Patriarch Association came up with the name of treasure reward is because the Xinglin doctors in Suzhou played a trick to please the Prince of Liang!"
"Prince Liang?"
Xu Xian looked confused and said in confusion: "The Prince of Liang is in charge of the capital, and he is one of the most powerful figures in our Song Dynasty empire. Why is Prince Liang's son coming to the south of the Yangtze River if he is not hanging around in the capital?"
"I heard from the gossip that your brother-in-law found out that Prince Liang seems to be in poor health. Prince Liang came to the south of the Yangtze River to look for famous doctors and wanted to help Prince Liang!"
Xu Jiaorong explained: "Several leaders of the Three Emperors Patriarch Association felt that the opportunity was rare, so they planned to show their faces in front of Prince Liang!"
"Humph, you flatterer!"
Xiao Qing listened on the sidelines and couldn't help but hum and said disdainfully: "After all, the guys from the Three Emperors Patriarch Association made such a big fuss just because they wanted to curry favor with Prince Liang!"
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and Xu Xian's face turned red. He also wanted to go to Suzhou to see the world and exchange medical skills with a group of colleagues in the apricot forest. Of course, he also wanted to show his face.
Even if you see through it without telling it, you are still a good friend!
"Xiaoqing!"
Bai Suzhen was angry and funny at the same time. She shook her head and said, "You can't generalize!"
"Yes, yes, who among the doctors doesn't want to become famous all over the world?"
Xu Jiaorong smiled and agreed: "Although the actions of the doctors from the Three Emperors Patriarch Association are a bit explicit, they don't have any bad intentions. They just want to show their face in front of Prince Liang so that they can break out of the circle of Jiangnan Xinglin and become a famous doctor in the capital or even an imperial doctor! "
Is this easy to understand? Water flows to lower places and people move to higher places. It is a natural thing.
Although the literary style of the Song Dynasty was flourishing, it was not the strict Confucianism like Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, but a rather open Confucian style, which was not ashamed of speaking for profit.
"Yes, the reason why I want to go to Suzhou to participate in the Xinglin Gathering organized by the Three Emperors Patriarch Association is mainly to compete with my colleagues to improve my medical skills. I don't want to curry favor with Prince Liang!"
Xu Xian followed up with an explanation, turned around and looked at his wife with a gentle face, and said softly: "Besides, my wife is pregnant, how can I possibly want to be a doctor in the capital?"
"Ms. sir..."
Bai Suzhen's eyes were as gentle as water, and they seemed to melt when she looked at Xu Xian.
"Ahem, I'm talking about Mr. Xu!"
Somewhat unbearable for her sister's behavior, Xiaoqing hurriedly coughed and said angrily: "Since you are going to exchange medical skills, there is no need to attend the Laoshizi Treasure Appreciation Conference!"
"this……"
Xu Xian was a little hesitant, saying that he really had no interest in the so-called treasure appreciation conference.
But this is a name created by the Three Emperors Patriarch Association in an upright manner. As a person from the Jiangnan Xinglin Forest, it is best not to stay out of the crowd. He really has to participate in the treasure appreciation conference.
"Stop talking about this and that. Since Mr. Xu doesn't have that intention, there's no need to bring out the treasure!"
Xiao Qing refused to give in and said aggressively: "Ms. Xu, just be an appreciator!"
"This is fine!"
Although Xiaoqing's words were very harsh, Xu Xian felt that her words spoke to his heart, and he really never thought about bringing treasures to the Laoshizi Treasure Appreciation Conference.
"No!" "No!"
Xu Jiaorong and Bai Suzhen objected at the same time, and Xu Jiaorong even said more cheerfully: "Hanwen's trip to Suzhou represents the face of our Qiantang. If the officials of the Three Emperors Patriarchs Association of Suzhou were made a joke because of the treasure, wouldn't it be a joke?
depressed?"
"Yes, Mr. Qiantang, we must not be careless when it comes to Qiantang's face!"
Bai Suzhen glanced at Xiaoqing angrily and advised: "I'm going to Suzhou this time. I don't want to bring any unique treasures, but I can't be too shabby either!"
"But there are no treasures in my house!"
Xu Xian said distressedly: "It is difficult to find a treasure that can attract the attention of the Three Emperors Patriarch Association. What if the Crown Prince of Liang takes a fancy to it?"
He knew that his wife's family was rich and she might have some eye-catching treasures in her hands, but he had no intention of showing them out for others to appreciate.
Everyone knows that wealth should not be revealed, and since he has no intention of currying favor with the Prince of Liang, he has to be more careful about the treasures attracting attention. If the Prince of Liang really takes a fancy to the treasure, will he offer it as an offering or cover it up?
Do you want to keep it or not?
After saying this, the three women were speechless for a long time.
Xu Xian's worry is not unreasonable. Bai Suzhen actually had an idea before, and wanted to refine some interesting gadgets to show her husband at the treasure appreciation party of the Three Emperors Patriarch Association.
But if it were as Xu Xian said, and the good thing he brought out was so brilliant that Prince Liang took a fancy to it, I really don't know what to do.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing naturally wouldn't care, but they couldn't tell Xu Xian too clearly, otherwise Xu Xian would feel unhappy.
Xu Jiaorong was also in a dilemma. From her husband, Li Gongfu, she knew that her siblings had some mysterious methods, and that their family background must have extremely eye-catching treasures in their hands, but they could not show them off easily.
"Don't worry, please ask your brother-in-law for his opinion first!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Xu Xian hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother-in-law has seen more of the world than us. I think he must have the best of both worlds!"
As for the treasure, he didn't say anything about it, but who of you didn't know about it?
"It can only be the!"
…
"Let Han Wen and his siblings discuss this matter themselves!"
After listening to his wife's words, Li Gongfu just pondered for a moment and then said with a smile: "My brothers and sisters have some magical skills. It's not difficult to make some gadgets that show their faces, as long as Han Wen doesn't have any doubts in his heart!"
"real?"
Xu Jiaorong asked curiously: "My younger siblings can make good things that are eye-catching, without spending too much effort?"
"Don't worry, this lady!"
Li Gongfu smiled confidently and said: "Tell me to my brothers and sisters, don't be too conspicuous, as long as the Chinese language does not attract ridicule at the treasure appreciation party of the Three Emperors Patriarch Association!"
"Have you ever spoken like that?"
Xu Jiaorong was unhappy and said angrily: "That's my younger brother. Even if he's brilliant, he can't be left behind. He's not just representing himself this time!"
"I know!"
Li Gongfu smiled helplessly and said depressedly: "But I don't have a deep relationship with Suzhou. If the Chinese language is too bright, what kind of trouble will it cause? I won't be able to get there in a while!"
"What should I do?"
Xu Jiaorong was a little panicked, and her voice was filled with tears: "I'm just a younger brother, so I can't let him have an accident. Sir, do you have any good ideas to protect Hanwen's safety during this trip?"
Going out in the feudal era when productivity was low was a very dangerous job, and you might end up staying outside forever. This is no joke.
"The best way is of course for me to go there myself!"
Li Gongfu touched his head and said with a wry smile: "But the government office has been very busy recently, and I really can't get away!"
Xu Jiaorong remained silent. She knew about her husband's situation.
If it hadn't been for her sudden pregnancy, Li Gongfu would have been transferred to the Yuhang government office in the past few months, becoming a high-level head catcher and officially promoted to the rank of official.
That's it, the Lord of Fu Yamen also promised to leave a position of chief arrester for the Xianggong within a year, waiting for the Xianggong to take office at any time.
At this time, it was the time when Xianggong Li Gongfu could not have any accidents. It was a major matter related to whether the Li family could be promoted to an official family, and Xu Jiaorong did not dare to lose his temper.
It would be okay if she wasn't pregnant, maybe she would be more careful and ask her husband to protect her brother's safety when he goes out.
But now that she is pregnant with the Li family's child, she has to think about the Li family. She can't interfere with the Li family's future just because of her brother's affairs, right?
If she really wants to do this, don't expect Li Gongfu to give her and her brother face in the future.
To be honest, the backbone of the Li family and the Xu family is actually Li Gongfu.
Without Li Gongfu's momentum and status, it would have been impossible for the Li family to join the upper class circles of Qiantang, and it would have been impossible for the Xu family to keep their property. Even younger brother Xu Xian would have had a hard time reviving the family business.
I really thought that the Qiantang apricot forest world was in a harmonious situation. The rise of new doctors would inevitably affect the old structure of the Qiantang apricot forest world, which would also affect the interests of others.
Which of the established medical clinics in Qiantang County has no ideas, power and means?
If he hadn't been concerned about Li Gongfu's reaction, it would have been impossible for his younger brother Xu Xian to successfully establish a foothold in the apricot forest world in Qiantang without going through three disasters and six disasters.
The TV series "The Legend of White Snake" is the best example. Who can compare with Bai Suzhen in terms of medical skills?
As a result, no matter whether it was the Baoan Tang opened in Suzhou or the Baoan Tang in Zhenjiang, they had to endure a lot of troubles at the beginning. If Bai Suzhen hadn't had magic at her side, an ordinary person would have been unable to bear the torment long ago, and would have been frustrated by the torment.
If you think about opening a medical clinic in a prosperous town, it will be a dead end.
It can be said that the recent prosperity of both the Li family and the Xu family is inseparable from Li Gongfu's support.
"Don't worry, madam!"
Seeing Xu Jiaorong's sad face, Li Gongfu smiled and comforted him: "Suzhou is not far from Qiantang, and Hanwen is going to attend the Xinglin Party. There won't be much trouble on the way. Although I can't go with him, I can spend money to hire some bodyguards."
The teacher is accompanying you as a bodyguard!"
"Yeah, why did I forget this!"
Xu Jiaorong clapped her hands fiercely, the sadness on her face disappeared, and she said with a smile: "Look back, sir, please help Hanwen hire some bodyguards to protect him. They must be able to reach out and be honest and reliable!"
"no problem!"
Li Gongfu took over the job and said with a smile: "I am very curious now. I wonder what the treasures my brothers and sisters made for Hanwen are."
In fact, he had a better choice in mind, but Xu Xian was not willing to join the martial arts school's medical department at the beginning. He wanted to invite martial arts disciples to protect him, but he couldn't do it.
After half a month had passed when everything was ready, Xu Xian happily took the treasures given by his wife and five guards with good martial arts skills to Suzhou...
